Chapter 247 True God, Ancient God, Plane God (915)
The sky, land, and sea, the Eternal Night Empire launched a journey of conquest from all directions, carrying out all-round territorial expansion at a speed beyond everyone's imagination.
It is different from the time when the planes had not yet been unified and there were still opponents who could be fought.
This time, no opponent can stop them.
Although the Eternal Night Empire only controls about one-tenth of the territory of the entire plane at this time, in terms of comprehensive strength, even after excluding Su Xingyu, the Eternal Night Empire is far stronger than the sum of the remaining living forces.
Not to mention that the other forces simply cannot gather together and their strength cannot be concentrated.
As a result, facing the invasion of the Eternal Night Empire, they had no power to resist at all. It would not be an exaggeration to describe them as being crushed.
Actually this is normal.
After all, before this, Su Xingyu and the Eternal Night Empire had carried out targeted cleansing of these merged planes.
The top creatures in these planes, that is, the sanctuary and demigod level beings, were killed, if not all of them, at least more than 90% of them were killed.
Even though the plane was merged into the Eternal Night Plane, allowing them to enjoy a better cultivation environment and some strong people achieved breakthroughs, it was still far from enough compared to the Eternal Night Empire.
Today's Eternal Night Empire is nearly a hundred years away from unifying the Eternal Night plane.
One hundred years is a lifetime for ordinary creatures, and it is very long even for extraordinary creatures.
During this hundred years, the Eternal Night Empire maintained a trend of rapid development, with high-level warriors continuously being promoted.
No matter how high the threshold to become a demigod is, when the base number reaches a certain level, someone will break through and be promoted almost every once in a while.
The Eternal Night Empire now has as many as thirty-four powerful demigods, and several of them have reached the level of high-level demigods.
Thirty-four demigods, this is an extremely terrifying number.
You know, the strength of most players nowadays is in the range of ordinary demigod to high-level demigod.
Among these players, not to mention the demigod believers, even the believers at the ninth level of the holy realm are very rare.
As time went by, the gap between the weak and the strong grew wider and wider, until a huge gap appeared.
In the past, when invading other players, Su Xingyu needed to send an incarnation of divine power, or even his real body, to help, in order to offset the impact of the enemy players.
Now, it is completely unnecessary.
Just send a few demigods over there and let them fight.
And this isn't the scariest thing.
The most terrifying thing is that it has been less than two hundred years since the Eternal Night Plane was promoted to a medium realm, and so many demigods have been born, and this speed shows no sign of slowing down.
They are still getting stronger, and very quickly.
Therefore, these local forces, which seem very powerful to ordinary players, have no ability to resist the invasion of the Eternal Night Empire.
This is more of an experience and benefit than a war.
"Since everything is progressing steadily, let them go. In a short period of time, this plane should be enough for them to torment."
In the Dark Divine Realm, Su Xingyu took a quick look at the expansion of the empire and found that there were no accidents and it was going very smoothly. Then he withdrew his gaze and ignored them, leaving them to do whatever they wanted, just treating it as a training for the gods.
With the growth of strength and the development of the Eternal Night Empire, Su Xingyu's interference in them became less and less.
In the early tribal period, the "original body" served as the tribal leader, handling all tribal affairs, leading the tribe forward, and sometimes even fighting in person.
Later, when the empire was established, he served as the imperial consul for a period of time, helping to manage the empire and setting an example for those who came after him. Then he abdicated and took up the idle position of high priest in the Cult of Eternal Night.
As for now, let alone managing the Eternal Night Empire, Su Xingyu has only been able to deliver oracles a few times over the years.
In the past, at least we would pay attention to it to prevent the empire from going in the wrong direction and suffering huge losses. Now it is wrong, and we can just correct it. It's no big deal.
The Eternal Night Empire's strong financial resources allow them to make mistakes, and they can afford to make mistakes.
What's more, with this "god" of his own who can make decisions with just a word, even if a major mistake occurs, He can reverse it.
Su Xingyu no longer cared about how their future would develop.
To put it bluntly, Su Xingyu himself didn't know how the situation would develop next.
As long as the Eternal Night Empire does not give up the path to transcendence and start researching technology and runes, then anything is possible.
Gods should be high in the sky, supreme, and enjoy the faith of all beings in the world, rather than being tools to help believers and clear obstacles.
Just like the empire's territorial expansion this time, as a god who controls the world consciousness of the Eternal Night Plane, Su Xingyu can easily wipe out those "foreign forces".
But there is no need to do so. It will not bring any substantial benefits, it will just save some time.
He had indeed done this before, directly sending the incarnation of divine power to help.
But the situation today is very different from what it was back then.
In the past, the power was still developing, which required population, resources, time, and land. At that time, the longer the stable development lasted, the stronger the overall strength of the tribe would be, and the greater the chance of winning against other players would be.
What is the situation now?
The Eternal Night Empire has everything including resources, land, population and time. Its explosive development phase has passed. Now it just has to rely on grinding over a long period of time to slowly build up the strength of the empire's citizens.
So even if He personally stepped in to help, it would be meaningless.
Take back your divergent thoughts.
Sitting on the throne, Su Xingyu looked into the distance, his eyes became dull and empty, and he seemed a little confused.
Well, Su Xingyu was indeed a little confused at the moment and didn't know what to do.
After completing the plane promotion, the believers' forces are on the right track and no longer need His care.
It sounds a bit annoying to say it, but as one of the top players, Su Xingyu really has nothing to do at the moment.
This plane has been unified and the promotion has been completed, and there is no shortage of other things such as resources, land, and believers.
There are no enemies to be eliminated, and no targets worth chasing. As the second-ranked top player in the East District, Su Xingyu is the target of other players.
After going over everything in his mind, Su Xingyu found that he seemed to have free time all of a sudden.
“Am I going to be promoted directly to a true god?” Su Xingyu shook his head, his eyes confused, and whispered to himself.
Now, He has met all the conditions for promotion, and His entire "human" state has reached the highest peak of demigod. As long as He wants, He can ignite the divine fire in a single thought, uphold the kingdom of God, and be promoted to the eternal and immortal true God.
For normal players, the throne of true God, which is still out of reach, is right before His eyes.
It can be accomplished in a single thought.

"On the road to becoming a demigod, I have reached my limit. If I go one step further, I can only become a true god." Su Xingyu touched his chin and began to think seriously.
The divine body can accommodate twenty-two points of divinity and ten points of authority, which adds up to a total of seventy-two points. This state is already the most extreme state of a demigod, and the next step is to become a true god.
Even at this moment, in terms of combat power alone, even without counting various blessings, Su Xingyu is no different from some ordinary true gods.
In his current state, if Su Xingyu were to be promoted to a True God, it would not be impossible for him to go very far on the Path to True God and climb several steps in one breath.
However, even though there were many benefits and they were within reach, Su Xingyu did not get promoted immediately.
It's not that I'm worried about failure and possible dangers.
In His current state, there is no possibility of failure, nor will there be any danger.
As long as you think about it, success is inevitable.
"Ugh"
Sitting on the throne, Su Xingyu sighed softly, his eyes slightly focused and became deep.
Nowadays, according to the information on becoming a god given by the system, there are three more common paths.
They are: Faith in the True God, Ancient God of Chaos, and Plane Contract God.
There is no need to say much about believing in the true God. With the faith of all living beings as the driving force, one can condense divinity, gather the divine body, ignite the divine fire, ascend to the throne of God, and thus become an eternal and immortal god.
Most players nowadays choose the path of believing in the true God. To be honest, the threshold for becoming a god is not high, and any normal person can do it, but the requirements for resources are very high.
Let’s talk about the most essential point, believers.
In order to become a true God, the number of believers required is outrageous.
Not only is the quantity important, but there are also very high requirements for the quality of the power of faith.
It is not an easy task to gain enough believers, develop them, and provide pure power of faith.
You need to grab and fight, only in this way can you develop.
As I said, resources and population are limited. Even in this endless void realm, although there are many unowned planes now, as players continue to become stronger, these planes will sooner or later be completely divided up.
Without planes and resources, it is impossible to develop the power of faith. If the power of faith cannot be developed, the "gods" cannot become powerful. If the "gods" are not powerful, they cannot grab resources, and then they will enter a vicious circle.
It can be said that for players like Su Xingyu, with the help of the system, the path to becoming a god has become very easy.
In the initial stage, they were given a wild plane where there were no other gods competing with them for faith, allowing them to smoothly pass through the weakest stage in the early stage.
Then in the void surrounding this plane, there are a bunch of "resource planes" that have accumulated over the years, so that they don't have to worry about resources.
With such conditions, as long as you are not a fool, you can at least become a demigod, if not a true god.
But this is them. If it were a normal creature, this road would be difficult to walk.
The Chaos Ancient Gods are actually another major category of players today, individual players.
These individual players, due to various reasons, had to give up their belief in the true God in the early stages, and directly devoured the godhead, becoming divine creatures, and then embarked on the path of devouring everything.
Taking the world as food and all living things as nourishment, constantly strengthening oneself, this is the ancient god.
Compared to the path of believing in the true God, which has a lower threshold, the path of the ancient god of chaos has extremely high requirements on the talents and qualifications of living beings. This is not a path you can take if you want to.
Those players who devoured the divine power could only barely reach the threshold standard.
But there are not so many divine powers in the world for you to devour.
Compared with the path to godhood through belief in the true God, the difficulty of becoming a Chaos Ancient God is obviously much higher. Most individual players may only be able to become a demigod in this lifetime by accumulating time.
However, there are good and bad sides. Compared to believing in the true God, which may be restricted by faith, the ancient gods of chaos are not bound by anything. They are the best portrayal of great power concentrated in one body.
The plane contract god, by integrating with the world consciousness, becomes one with it, and then prospers and suffers together with the plane, and becomes stronger as the plane grows.
This is a relatively stable path, but it is also the last choice out of helplessness.
Compared with the first two paths, the path of becoming a god in the contract plane has great limitations and a slow growth rate, and one may be left far behind by peers.
Of course, there are good things too. First, there is the guaranteed true God, secondly, there is the blessing of the region, and it is not restricted by faith.
Faith, ancient gods, and contracts, these three paths are the most widespread paths to becoming a god.
Needless to say, Su Xingyu has definitely chosen the path of faith. He has already gone too deep on this path. Not to mention that he does not want to turn back, even if he really wants to turn back, it is already too late.
Once He turns back, the huge torrent of faith will turn Him into the true "King of Eternal Night."
The road must be taken, but it does not have to be taken step by step.
In addition to the three most common paths, the system also provides players who have reached the strongest demigod realm with another new path to becoming a god.
The original road.
He opened up the world in the demigod realm, and then dispersed his own authority and divine duties, re-evolved in it, condensed the original divine body, and became an innate original divine spirit.
