Looking at the place where Arnold had been standing, Dave's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes seemed to be able to kill people. Finally, he blurted out: "Damn it, you don't know how strong that guy is. Do you really think you can survive by delaying him?"
As someone who has fought against the Dark Lord many times, Div knows better than anyone how powerful the other party is. He is a strong man beyond the true God. Div even feels that even if he can really be promoted to the Lord God, he may not be able to suppress the current opponent.
What's more, the opponent was getting closer and closer to the realm of the Lord God, but he was stuck at a critical step.
Without the authority of the pantheon, even if He met the promotion standards, He would not be able to be promoted because the will of the pantheon would not recognize Him.
Of course, besides this, Dave has another path to choose.
Abandon the current complete Yad pantheon, gather together those planes that recognize you, then separate them and create a new pantheon.
In that newly created pantheon, He will not be an heir but a creator. Then He will become the true master of the pantheon, just like the current god players.
This is not difficult to do. With Dif's strength, if he really chooses this path, it will be much smoother. At least there will be no gods from other pantheons to hinder him. Other gods will even help him, so that he can be promoted smoothly, become stronger, and then resist the invasion of powerful enemies.
And Dif has already reached the peak of the upper true god, and with the main artifact in hand, it won’t take long before he can try to be promoted.
However, everything has its pros and cons. If he creates his own pantheon, he will indeed be freer and not restricted by other gods, but at the same time, he will not get help from the ancient pantheon.
Let's put it this way, if Dif is promoted based on the Yad God system, then at the moment of successful promotion, he will completely inherit the accumulation of the ruler of the Yad God system in ancient times, and go a long way on the road to becoming the main god.
Moreover, the road ahead will be much smoother. At least before reaching the upper limit of the ancient god, he will not encounter any bottleneck.
What's more, thanks to the "help" of the god players, the current Yad system is much larger in scale than the Yad system in ancient times. Not to mention the path to becoming the main god, it is barely enough to go up one level.
Separating the planes and rebuilding the pantheon does give you freedom, and you can also directly become a main god without being controlled by others, but it’s only fun for a while.
There was no problem with being promoted to the Lord God, but what should he do after being promoted? What should he do on the road to becoming a god? Div had no idea about these things, as if he was promoted just for the sake of being promoted to the Lord God.
To put it bluntly, if He did that, He would be preparing wedding clothes for the real Lord of the God System. As long as Div had no problem with his mind, he would not make such a choice.
As for inheriting the Yad God system, as long as he can be successfully promoted, a road leading directly to the thirteenth level will have been opened before him, and he just needs to follow it.
The effort is great, and the rewards are great.
Dif has already paid a great price for the Yad God system. Now he can finally reap the rewards. He will naturally not be willing to withdraw and choose another path with an unknown future.
In terms of strength, He is stronger than Arnold. In terms of ethnicity, dwarves are stronger than goblins. In terms of pantheon authority, He controls the most. He is ahead in all aspects. Why should He give in?
Is it just because he is the one being beaten now?
That doesn't make sense.
"If it weren't for the urgency of time and the powerful enemy lurking nearby."
The more Dave thought about it, the angrier he got. He couldn't help but slap the handrail next to him. His eyes flashed with complicated light, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The arrival of the Dark God System completely disrupted Dif's plan. In his original plan, the Yad God System continued to expand, devouring the divine plane, sending out the goblin spirits, and weakening the power of the goblins in the Yad God System.
A small-scale plane in exchange for a large-scale plane, as long as the earth spirit is not stupid, it is impossible to refuse.
Once the Yad pantheon is completely mastered by the dwarves, even if Arnold is unwilling, Dave will be able to forcibly divide the other party's plane, inherit most of the Yad pantheon, and then directly become the main god.
The plan is going well, and in a few hundred years, it will be almost successful.
As a result, the Dark Lord appeared and not only reversed the situation on the battlefield, but also blocked the expansion of the Yad system. Later, he suppressed the gods of the Yad system within the system and fought them.
Now, let alone expansion, it would be good enough for them to defend their own native plane.
A bunch of gods were squeezed into the pantheon, and Dif couldn't divide the planes at all. As for sending the earth spirits out, that was even more nonsense.
Not to mention whether they can get out or not, even if they can, the earth spirit won't get out now.
If he hides in the Yad God system, there are at least two higher true gods to help him. If he goes out alone and is targeted by the Dark God system, he can only wait for death.
It can be said that the dark gods next to him caused Dave a lot of trouble.
Under the pressure of the Dark God System, the Yad God System cannot expand, and Div cannot offer enough benefits, so it can only fight internally.
If everyone holds each other back, the end result will be that no one can get anything done.
Just as Di Fu was regretting why he had not acted more decisively before, which led to the current situation, a voice suddenly came from the palace: "Your Majesty Di Fu, perhaps we can help you solve this problem."
A dark figure that looked roughly human-shaped and whose face could not be seen suddenly appeared in the corner of the palace, silently, as if it had always been there. Before He spoke, even Div did not notice His presence.
Dave turned his head and his expression returned to normal. He was not surprised by the arrival of the black shadow. He just said calmly: "What are you doing here again? Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
"Why do you have such hostility towards me? I have already said my purpose just now, to help His Majesty solve the problem." The black shadow was not angry at Div's attitude, and said softly: "Whether it is us old guys from the ancient times or you void gods of the new era, we are essentially one family, not to mention that you have inherited our heritage, so there is more or less friendship. In comparison, those humans from other worlds, the darlings of destiny in the new era of the void, are our common enemies."
"Ah"
Dave looked at the shadow, sneered, and then said in a cold voice: "I really don't like those new gods, but I hate you guys who want to sit on my head even more."
Ancient gods.
The Black Shadow is an ancient god from the old times. Before this, he had approached Div several times and proposed the idea of cooperation, but was rejected by Div every time.
If there is a chain of contempt among the gods, then there is no doubt that the ancient gods look down on the old gods of the void, and the old gods of the void look down on the new gods of the void. In the eyes of the ancient gods, compared with the new gods of the void who are favored by the times, these old gods of the void who picked up their legacy are even worse. At least the new gods of the void have good potential.
The strength of the new gods of the void is indeed weak now, but others have a bright future. Given enough time, they may even create a divine civilization that surpasses the old era. However, these old gods of the void will never be able to surpass themselves and others.
"It's annoying, but it doesn't affect our cooperation, right?"
The shadow seemed not to notice the change in Div's expression, and continued: "No matter what the future holds, we must first have a future. I believe that His Majesty Div has sensed how fast those new gods are progressing! Apart from anything else, just the Dark Majesty outside your pantheon, I can clearly tell you that He is only one layer away from becoming a main god, and can be promoted at any time."
When Div heard this, his expression changed slightly.
"That His Majesty is preparing to be promoted to the Lord God, but what about you, His Majesty Div? None of the gods have reached the standard of authority, and they are holding each other back. No one can take that step. How long do you think it will take for you to master the entire Yad God system? Decades, hundreds of years, or forever?"
The black shadow said, "We will wait, but His Majesty the Darkness will not. Once He is promoted to the Lord God, I am afraid that the entire Yad God System will become His food. By then, you won't have to fight for it. You can all fall into eternal sleep in His stomach together!"
Dave's face turned extremely gloomy. He looked at the black shadow and said coldly, "Are you here just to laugh at me?"
"Laughing at you? No, we don't have that much free time! I said at the beginning that I am here to cooperate. You and I are in the same group. Those new gods are our common enemies." The black shadow said seriously.
"Are you not going to subdue us? It seems that these new gods are putting a lot of pressure on you!" Hearing this, Dave's expression became normal and he even smiled.
You know, when they first met, Black Shadow's attitude was not very good. He said he wanted to cooperate, but his words revealed his disdain for these old gods. It was completely his attitude of coming to recruit younger brothers.
Now, the attitude is much better.
The shadow was silent for a while, then laughed at himself and said, "That's true. Originally, we didn't take those new gods seriously. We thought it was only a thousand years, and no matter how much potential they had, we didn't expect them to grow so fast. If we don't deal with them now and let them grow, I'm afraid not only you, but also us will suffer!"
It has only been a few hundred years since he was promoted to a true god, but he is about to break through to the level of a main god. This speed is unprecedented even in their time.
Among the ancient gods who have been sleeping until now, although there are many strong ones at the level of the main gods, and even those close to the thirteenth level, there is not a single one who is truly at the thirteenth level.
I don’t know whether it has fallen completely or escaped from this void.
In short, among the current ancient gods, the strongest is the main god of the fifth level of gods, and his condition is not very good, and he is still in a state of recovery.
In this case, once a new god is born and becomes a powerful main god, the ancient gods will really be unable to do anything to them.
The upper limit is limited.
It is easy to determine the winner among the main gods, but it is very difficult to determine life and death.
"Okay, just say whatever you think. There's no need to beat around the bush. If we can cooperate, then we can cooperate. If we can't, then we can go our separate ways. But I have to say one thing in advance. If you want me to be your subordinate, forget it." The threat posed by the dark gods was too great, and Arnold was always unwilling to cooperate. Dave had to slow down his attitude towards the ancient gods and seek help from the outside world.
“After Your Majesty takes charge of the Yad God system and is promoted to the main god, who will be qualified to make you his subordinate?” Upon hearing this, the black shadow secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then chuckled.
Mysterious space.
Giant continents are suspended in the void, and the Chaos Continent at the center is so huge that even the immortal gods who reveal their true forms are as small as dust in front of this continent.
A remote continent located on the edge. The area of this continent is very small, only millions of square kilometers. Among the broken continents, it is like cookie crumbs and is inconspicuous.
In the corner of the continent, there is a dilapidated city.
There are mainly two kinds of creatures living in the city, werewolves and red flame lizardmen. There are more werewolves, but most of them are residents and are relatively weak. There are fewer lizardmen, but each one is elite and powerful.
The relationship between the two creatures is somewhat complicated. The werewolf residents look at the lizardmen patrolling the streets with fear and hatred in their eyes.
This was originally a werewolf city, but now it has been conquered by the Red Flame Lizardmen.
Inside the newly built temple.
A being who had reached the realm of demigod was praying to the statue and reporting the situation: "Your Majesty, the werewolf tribe has launched an offensive again. This is the fourth time this month. Although we have beaten them back, the Red Flame Legion has suffered heavy losses. We need more support, otherwise I am afraid we will have to abandon this city."
“You cannot give up. Even if you have to die, you must die inside the city.” The statue glowed red and soon there was a response. The tone was extremely cold, but it made the demigod kneel down and bow down.
"Yes, sir. We will fight to the end and never give up." The demigod's body trembled, not daring to look up.
"Support will arrive soon. During this time, no matter what method you use, you must defend this city for me." The voice of the God of Fire came, emphasizing again.
"Yes."
The lizard demigod responded again.
The light dissipated and no more sound was heard. After a while, the lizard demigod dared to look up. Seeing that the statue was motionless, he prayed to the gods for a while and then left the temple.
At the same time, there was another void.
"Trouble, trouble, why are there troubles everywhere? It's okay to get beaten here, after all, there are a bunch of gods, it's normal that I can't beat them, but why can't I even beat a primitive tribe over there?" In the main temple of the Fire God Kingdom, Fang Xingchen's face looked a little ugly and he couldn't help cursing.
After a while, he cursed a few times and calmed down.
"It seems that I can't explore that place by myself."
After hesitating for a while, Fang Xingchen seemed to have made up his mind. He said to himself, "I might as well exchange it for something useful. With their generosity, I might not have to rob them. It might not be impossible." (End of this chapter)
