Volume 4 Chapter 612: Great Harvest
Even though it was a divine artifact, the Cyric could not withstand Tyr's attack. It was completely destroyed immediately, without even a trace of ash left.
Levi was also very happy to find that the ring of the God of Mazes was finally completely unlocked.
Next, as long as he infuses some divine power, divinity, and fragments of godhood, etc., and spends a little more time, he may be able to obtain a complete priesthood.
After the rescued gods expressed their gratitude to Levi, Oghma and others in turn, the gods also gathered the spoils together.
When Leila's original body was killed, Xirik took her priesthood - illusion and mist - from her, and also merged Leila's priesthood - fraud.
He originally had many divine duties such as strife, lies, conspiracy and murder, and his domains included chaos, destruction, evil, trickery and illusion, etc.
Next is his artifact-level long sword - Razor Blade, which was the weapon he used before he obtained the Sword of Divine Disaster.
Although it was chopped several times by Tyr and his men in the previous battle and was now covered with scars, it would not be difficult to repair it as long as enough divine power, divinity, fragments of godhood, etc. were infused into it.
Mask's portfolio includes shadows, theft and thieves, as well as part of the mist portfolio taken from Leila. Due to the short time, he has not been able to formally perfect it.
His domains include Darkness, Evil, Trickery, and Luck.
Especially the last bit of luck, which had only been possessed by the Elf God of Thieves who was killed by Rose in the entire elven pantheon, and it had a very wide range of applicability, being almost universal to all camps.
Among all the gods, perhaps only the Disaster Girl doesn't like it. Both Levi and Lilith are very tempted by it.
And the artifact-level longsword - Secret Whisperer, its attack power is not very good, but it comes with many effects such as silence, silence and swiftness, etc., which is still very good for assassins and thieves.
Finally, there are the fragments of divinity that Cyric himself possesses, the fragments of divinity that he plundered from the Goddess of Peace and others, and the fragments of divinity of Mask.
In addition to the slain Tzeentch demons, they also provided some divinity and fragments of godhood, so that all the gods present today could get a piece, and even have quite a bit left over.
It’s just that because there are too many gods involved, there are bound to be some different opinions on the distribution. Each god makes different contributions, so it is naturally impossible to distribute them equally. Moreover, there may also be obvious differences in each other’s definition of the value of the items.
For example, Leila has always been like a puppy, looking pitifully at her former priesthood, and then at Lilith next to her.
Even if these things once belonged to her, with her current identity and power, it is impossible for her to get them back. Everything depends on whether Lilith is willing to help.
But Roshanda, Oghma and the others had absolutely no interest in the phantom priesthood.
Similarly, many gods, including Kelemvor and Mystra, looked at the priesthoods of lies and conspiracies with disgust. They really did not want to see the emergence of a second god of lies, and they did not want to see them fall into the hands of any god.
Lilith hopes to obtain the multiple priesthoods belonging to Mask, which can be used to strengthen the power of Illidan and others, or to create a new God of Thieves.
However, many gods felt jealous when they saw the murder of priests.
Murder itself is of course an evil priesthood, and is basically in serious conflict with their camp, but this priesthood can also significantly enhance the power of God.
If the gods had not besieged Xirik this time, even ordinary gods of medium power would not dare to start a war against Xirik.
Or to put it another way, even if they don't use it themselves, they can sell it to evil gods like Bane and they will definitely gain a lot.
Because the priesthood of murder is also a very rare priesthood, apart from Cyric, only Set of the Egyptian pantheon has it.
Others, whether it is the famous God of Blood Hands, or the Lord of All Beasts - Mala, etc., who are said to be in charge of the power of killing, actually do not have the priesthood of murder.
After looking at each other for a few times, the gods all had their own thoughts, but the situation was not right now.
Under normal circumstances, the gods could spend weeks, months, or even years slowly discussing this issue, but now they don't have the leisure time.
Tyr and the others were naturally well aware of this, so after looking at Levi with gratitude, he spoke first: "We are very grateful for the help of your highnesses, which has allowed Valenna to return to the right path. We will not participate in the distribution of the spoils this time."
As he spoke, Tyr also took out some fragments of the Godhead and divine power crystals from his waist and handed them directly to Levi: "These are just a small way to express our gratitude. Thank you for troubling His Highness Levi."
The gods immediately understood that it was obvious that Tyr wanted to help Levi get what he wanted.
Biaolong Miaoying next to him was more direct: "The share that belongs to our Zhendan God System will be considered as a thank-you gift to His Highness Levi."
If it was just to save a panda lord, it would certainly not be worth it for her to lose face, but Guanglong - Shenzhu was still sleeping on the Heaven Mountain.
Moreover, even if this incident had not happened, the cooperation between the two sides on the continent of Lustria, as well as some situations that Qingjia had recently noticed, were enough to make the Zhendan pantheon pay more attention to Levi.
Of course, many gods present did not know the details. What they knew was that the Zhendan pantheon also supported Levi this time.
Then Lilith, Moonbow, Illidan and others also spoke up and decided to give their shares to Levi.
If everyone were to separate, each god might only be able to obtain one fragment of the godhead, but if they were gathered together, it would be enough to obtain multiple priesthoods.
After exchanging a few quick glances, Mistra, Suni, and the others also made their decision.
They may not care too much about Levi's face, but they have to care about the face of Tyr, Lilith and the Zhendan pantheon.
What's more, this time they all have relatives and friends who are being controlled by Xirik. If Levi had not summoned the gods and organized this joint operation, they would definitely not have been rescued so quickly. They all have to owe Levi a favor.
So soon, except for Oghma, they all gave up their shares, but they were not without demands.
"I can give up any spoils of war, but knowledge of the priesthood of strife, lies, conspiracy, and evil cannot continue to be abused."
As someone who has been fighting with Cyric for so many years, Kelemvor is well aware of the difficulty of dealing with these priests. He doesn't want a new replacement to appear right after he kills Cyric.
Lathander also agreed very much: "Yes, they and the murder priesthood need to be completely destroyed."
Cyric's priesthood of murder came from Baal, one of the three fallen gods of death. Lathander and Baal were once enemies, and he knew very well how much of a threat this priesthood could pose to mortals and gods.
It was certainly impossible for him to obtain and use it, and he did not want any other god to have this priesthood, so he emphasized this point.
Shu Ni also expressed her same attitude. She only found out today that Xirik's duties such as disputes and conspiracies can actually be applied between lovers. This is directly related to her interests.
Once these priesthoods are destroyed, even if some gods later wish to obtain priesthoods such as Strife, it will take at least hundreds of years and a huge amount of divine power to condense them from scratch. By then, they may be able to detect it in advance and take targeted precautions.
As for Oghma, he did not have any special requirements, but the true teachings of Cyric that saved the gods were created by him.
His achievements were undoubtedly the greatest, even far exceeding Levi's. Even if he did not mention it himself, the gods unanimously decided to give him a portion of the spoils.
Then, as they talked, the gods all understood that the key to the problem might depend on Levi, who was supported by many gods.
Levi would certainly not go against the gods, and he really had no interest in those priesthoods. Not to mention the conflict with his camp, once he really tried to obtain them by force, I am afraid that some of the gods in front of him would turn against him on the spot.
For example, Lathander.
Although many of Losander's past actions have been suspected and questioned, he has always played a pioneering role in the fight against evil, and it is not just superficial.
So Levi just smiled and said that he had the same idea, and then he said that he hoped to obtain the priesthood that Leila had lost.
This is certainly not just for Leila's sake. He and the other party do not have such a deep relationship. However, the three priesthoods of illusion, fog and deception are certainly not very offensive, but if they are used as auxiliary, they can undoubtedly play a very important role.
Kelanwo, Mistra and others had anticipated this, so after a brief discussion, they all nodded in agreement.
Leila, who was standing next to Lilith, was so excited that she almost jumped up, but then her face fell and she looked at Lilith helplessly.
Even if she got these things back, what right did she have to get them? Lilith never owed her anything. On the contrary, she owed Lilith a lot.
Lilith wanted to laugh when she saw Leila's appearance. It was said that this phantom goddess was once a princess of an ancient country. After inheriting the last hope of that country, she was able to become a god.
Therefore, she had a smooth journey, lived a peaceful life, and still maintained much of her innocence as a princess.
If she hadn't become his servant god by chance, a silly goddess like her would probably have ended up in a very miserable state now, right?
Levi didn't pay much attention to their private communication, because after taking these things, his side didn't seem to be very confident that they could get Mask's things, so he needed to show some performance.
So after simply expressing his thanks, he very formally told the gods about the constructs and expressed his willingness to share this knowledge.
After listening, Kelanwo and Qingjia looked at each other, and seemed to vaguely understand Levi's strength, influence, and the reason why his share in the origin of death increased so rapidly.
In addition, their previous investigation showed that Levi was the only one in Zodiac Tianyu who had once been a hero chosen by God. He must have unusual qualities. No wonder Yager had such high expectations for Levi.
Oghma is also very interested in a special race of animated constructs with independent intelligence?
This was a path he had never imagined, and it must contain a lot of valuable knowledge.
The gods of Zhendan also became interested. In the main world, there were many races and forces that drove constructs, but only two of them were the most famous: the Tomb Kings and the Zhendan Dynasty.
The Tomb Kings used the souls of loyal and brave soldiers as special drivers of constructs, while the Cathay Dynasty used magic to construct virtual souls.
When the former drives some more powerful constructs, such as the Sphinx, they often need the soul of a particularly powerful hero in his lifetime, or simply the cooperation of dozens of souls.
The latter has higher requirements on the strength of the caster himself, as well as materials and time, but its advantage is that it can instill the warrior's skills and experience, etc.
For example, the image and martial arts of the 7th-level Terracotta Warrior Guards come from a powerful dragon descendant known as the "Martial Saint".
Both have their pros and cons, but in general, production will be greatly limited.
But now it seems that Levi's construct seems to have the advantages of both and has solved the most critical production limitation.
The demons in the bottomless abyss are inexhaustible. After obtaining this knowledge from Levi, theoretically, as long as the gods of Zhendan are willing to work hard, it is entirely possible to create more constructed humans than the total population of Zhendan Empire !
But compared to them, the most excited ones might be the bear god Ursun and the goddess of healing who were previously driven by Xirik.
They destroyed their own kingdom with their own hands, and their battle incarnations and savings of so many years were basically taken away by Xirik. They were also squandered in the battle just now. They are in an unprecedented state of weakness.
More importantly, they have few reliable allies.
In this case, mass-producing constructs may be the simplest and most efficient way to enhance their defensive capabilities.
So almost as soon as Levi finished speaking, the bear god - Ersun couldn't wait to express that out of gratitude to Levi, he was willing to form an offensive and defensive alliance with Levi.
However, Levi did not agree immediately, because considering the current strength of both sides, it would not be beneficial for him to form an alliance with the isolated and poor Ersun.
Of course, Ersun could understand Levi's concerns. If he were in Levi's place, he would not be so enthusiastic either.
So after gritting his teeth, he made a decision immediately. Although the thing was good, he had to live long enough to enjoy it.
But now it seems that if he does not quickly find a strong backer, the Frost Maiden - Auril, and the furious gods behind her will soon take the opportunity to erode the faith of the entire Kislev.
As for concealing what happened today, that is even more impossible. Few of the gods present would give him that face.
What's more, Kislev is also suffering from a large-scale invasion of demons. He must take action, and his weakness will surely not be hidden from any interested being.
Since the gods were around, he couldn't say it directly, so he only transmitted part of the information with images through divine power.
After reading it, Levi couldn't help but take it more seriously, because the information was about the Arctic God - Ulutiu.
It seems that after the Red Prince returned to Kislev, the Bear God Ursun also got the relevant information immediately and really gained something.
But before he could truly obtain that power, he was captured by Xirik and made a slave.
Although he is known as the God of the Arctic, Ulutiu's actual duties are glaciers, ice seas, polar regions and polar inhabitants.
These priesthoods can develop considerably in the Arctic, Antarctic, and even in Kislev, which is also located by the sea.
Or it may be useful in the winter in some other countries.
Now that Ersun has decided to share this secret with me, it shows his sincerity.
So Levi smiled back, expressing his initial acceptance and approval.
Ersun was slightly relieved, but at the same time he knew that his crisis was far from over.
Because even if you surrender to Levi or the elven pantheon, it is impossible for the other party to always be by your side as a guard. If you want to be completely at ease, it is best to establish your kingdom of God near the other party's kingdom of God.
Now the question is, should he choose Levi's Heavenly Mountain or the unrestrained wilderness of the elven gods?
The healing goddess next to her also had similar confusion, and her situation was even more serious.
After all, Ersun is a weaker divine power of the seventh rank and has more rights to make his own choices. Whether he joins Levi, Lilith, or Sigma, he will be warmly welcomed.
But she only has a level 2 godhood and doesn't have much faith in Kislev. Although she is good at healing and purification, except for the pure barbarians like the green-skinned gods, most gods can more or less grant their priests some healing powers.
Basically, everything she can do can also be done by other gods as long as they spend a little more power.
What's more, Levi is the lord of Mount Paradise. His mission when he was deified was light and purification, which seriously overlapped with her mission.
To Heaven Mountain, she is basically an insignificant existence, if not an insignificant .
So after thinking about it, she finally felt that she could only be tied to Ersun temporarily in order to get better treatment.
And no matter what, Ersun treated the other three gods of Kislev with kindness and righteousness, and she could also get a certain amount of protection from Ersun.
As for what choices the remaining God of Thunder - Thor and God of Fire - Daz will make after the two of them leave the Kislev pantheon, she doesn't care too much. All she can do is to discuss with Ursun and notify the other party.
The two gods from the dwarf pantheon and the halfling pantheon were also very excited.
They can be protected by their respective pantheons and do not need to worry about their own safety like the bear god Ersun.
But for the two weak and continuously weakening pantheons, creating constructs will undoubtedly be a way to strengthen the overall power of the pantheon.
So they tried their best to show goodwill to Levi at the first opportunity, and said that the two pantheons might be able to carry out deeper cooperation in the future.
Levi naturally agreed with a smile. Although these two pantheons were both in great decline, even if a war broke out, it would be almost impossible to get any substantial support from each other.
But their respective god-kings are all relatively powerful, especially the main god of the halflings - Yondalla.
She single-handedly created the halfling race. Even though there wasn't even a middle-level god in the pantheon, she always maintained a powerful god power of 16th rank. This gave Levi reason to suspect that she was very likely in control of some aspect of the original power.
Or to put it another way, although they are weak, they still have mastered many priesthoods and fields. Even if they are just exchanging experiences and knowledge, they will definitely gain a lot.
However, Mystra, Lathander, Sune and others were not very interested in this.
As powerful divine powers, their strength and power have already reached a bottleneck. Even if there are 10 million more constructs, what can they do? How many extraordinary divine powers can they resist?
However, they all understood why Levi chose to reveal this information at this critical moment.
This deal is not a loss at all. Even if they are not interested, they can pass on the knowledge to their servants or relatives and friends.
With this understanding, the subsequent discussions went very smoothly.
Finally, the gods unanimously decided that Xirik's evil priesthood and domain knowledge should be destroyed together, and they worked together to ensure that no accidents would happen.
Leila took back several priesthoods that originally belonged to her, as well as the knowledge of trickery and illusion. Then she owed Levi, Lilith, and other gods on their side a favor, and she didn't know how many years it would take to pay it off.
In fact, strictly speaking, illusions are fine, but most gods who are proficient in the field of trickery tend to be evil, such as Cyric, Benshaba, Mask, and Rose.
Under normal circumstances, Losander might have spoken up, but unfortunately this time Oghma, who also possessed the field of trickery, was also present. He even took the initiative to say that if Leila had any questions in the future, she could communicate with him about her knowledge of trickery.
There was nothing more to say about Loshanda. He seemed a bit straightforward in most cases, but that was simply because he looked down on the power of most gods, so he didn't need to consider other people's thoughts and feelings.
But this time it was Oghma who took over, and he had to respect the other party's opinion and maintain his own attitude. Anyway, it was not a big deal.
It’s a pity that Leila probably won’t be able to inherit Xirik’s followers.
After being besieged by Mystra and other gods, most of Cyric's followers have died. Those who have survived until now are probably the most loyal ones. It would be useless for Leila to take them over.
Similarly, for similar reasons, although the three priesthoods of thief, thief and shadow were all obviously inclined towards evil, in the end, Lathander and Tyr did not speak out, and they all belonged to Levi.
This even exceeded Levi's expectations. He felt that he might have to focus on training Mortiti next, so that she could grow from a phantom assassin to a true phantom assassin god.
Oghma took away Cyric's broken sword and 10 fragments of the godhead. Without his power, the driven gods would never have been redeemed so quickly. He deserved so much.
Even Levi had no objection, because his purification and Berronar Truesilver's honest priesthood were just icing on the cake. Without the true teachings of Cyric created by Oghma, everything would be empty talk.
Kelemvor took away Mask's artifact-level sword. This was not due to Levi's suggestion, but because all the gods knew that in the process of creating constructs, they would need to rely on the power of a god of death to a certain extent.
As for the remaining fragments of the godhead, except for Mystra and Kelemvor who each took one symbolically, and Berrona Truesilver who took a few pieces on behalf of the dwarven pantheon, all of them went into Levi's pocket. For him, this was truly an unprecedented big harvest.
But Levi did not keep all of them. Instead, he distributed them to everyone, especially those with lower godhood levels such as Khalida, Illidan, and Imrik, who received special care.
Levi always believed that he couldn't just focus on becoming stronger himself, he also needed a group of powerful allies behind him.
Even if one’s strength reaches the level of the four elemental gods, one still needs a force to support him from behind.
If you are alone, unless you are strong enough to conquer the whole world, there will always be people who will not believe in you and want to challenge you in order to gain fame, power, etc.
Because they all know that as long as they kill you, everything will be over and they don't have to worry about revenge from anyone.
For example, this time, Xirik and Mask, even a few demigods who had just recovered joined in the fun, and they were completely fearless.
But if there is a force behind you, the enemy must consider the consequences before taking action. Killing you alone is far from enough. All your relatives and friends must be killed to completely end this fight.
Talos originally had many enemies and was attacked and besieged almost every other day. However, when he formed the Furious Gods and began to stick together, even though this small organization was very unreliable, the number of people who caused trouble for him suddenly decreased a lot, for the same reason.
Khalida and Illidan were naturally very grateful, because after receiving this generous gift, they could basically raise their godhood level to level 2.
This means that when they have sufficient divine power, they can create two level 1 combat incarnations and comprehend multiple extraordinary divine powers.
After that, they will completely surpass ordinary demigods in many aspects such as combat power and survivability. This can be called a qualitative change.
This is exactly Levi's purpose. The newborn god can be directly upgraded to the second-level godhood, which only requires 4 godhood fragments in total. It is the most cost-effective.
But it becomes more difficult after that. Level 3 requires a total of 9 pieces, and level 4 requires 16 pieces. Levi doesn't have the ability to help them.
Others like Lilith, Yue Gong, etc. also gained something. Of course, they themselves didn't care about this stuff, but it represented Levi's attitude.
The only one who came back empty-handed was Isis, because her son Horus, grandmother Tefnut, and the scarab god Khepri had all been controlled by Cyric before, and she needed to pay a small price for this to save the other gods' face.
As for how many fragments of the divine nature Levi was willing to give to Isis after returning to Mount Paradise, no one cared at all.
After exchanging a few more polite words, the gods began to say goodbye and leave. Of course, they had more than one fighting incarnation, but in this situation, the more incarnations appeared on the battlefield, the more they could do.
Biaolong-Miaoying flew over with the group of Zhendan gods, and seemed to want to say something to Levi.
But suddenly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and at the same time, there was a slight commotion among the other Zhendan gods, even Qingjia was no exception.
As soon as he saw this look, Levi immediately knew that something must have happened that he had not yet noticed, and it was something very serious.
Since the people present were either the gods of Mount Heaven or gods related to Levi, Miaoying did not hide anything and said directly:
"The Nipeng pantheon was in turmoil, Susanoo betrayed the three noble sons, which directly led to the fall of Tsukuyomi and the disappearance of Amaterasu. Tianjin Langxing has become the new god king of the Nipeng pantheon!"
A series of low cries suddenly came from the side. Although the Nipeng pantheon was beaten up by the Zhendan pantheon every other day, its overall strength was still very strong. How could it be possible that the control was changed directly in such a short time?
Levi directly began to sense Tsukuyomi's share in the origin of death. As competitors for the origin of death, they could roughly sense each other's share.
Because of this, Levi has become stronger rapidly recently, and Qingjia and Kelanwo can roughly feel it.
Since he had obtained the exact number from Yager, Levi knew that Tsukuyomi had about 2.5%-3% of the origin of death before, but now it has been completely emptied.
Even if Tsukuyomi had not died, he would probably have completely lost his position as the priest of death.
But if it’s just Tianjin Wolf Star and Susanoo, they shouldn’t have enough power, right?
Facing Levi's questioning eyes, Miaoying sighed softly: "Father God said that Tianjin Wolf Star is likely to be the manifestation of the power of Khorne among the Four Chaos Gods, and is also one of the Dragon Gods we once lost."
"Tianjin Langxing is a pseudonym. His real name should be Blood Dragon - Baiyu. He may seek revenge on the Nipeng pantheon, the Zhendan pantheon, and even the entire world!"
Haotian Dragon Emperor and Moon Queen Guiyin of the Zhendan pantheon once gave birth to nine dragon gods, many of whom were said to be missing or killed in battle, but it was proved that most of them were still alive.
The only one among them, the Blood Dragon - Baiyu, Levi could be sure of was a being that had indeed fallen.
But now that Miaoying said so, it is obvious that there is some basis for it.
Khorne is the strongest of the four Chaos Gods, and he may benefit from the chaos caused by the previous chosen heroes and the recent series of wars and deaths.
Khorne is the most brutal, bloodthirsty and aggressive demon god. The Blood Dragon is also the only one among the dragon gods who is cruel and murderous, and his camp tends to be evil.
If Khorne used some special power to allow the Blood Dragon to slaughter the gods of Nebon as the Wolf Star of Tianjin, then his strength would probably be even more terrifying than before.
Add to that Susanoo and other Nibon gods who are accomplices to the evil, and the Zhendan pantheon will probably be delayed...
"Is there anything I can do?" Levi asked sincerely.
"Indeed, I hope His Highness Levi can wake up Shen Zhu as soon as possible. Among the many dragon gods, only Shen Zhu can wake Bai Yu from his extreme desire to kill!"
