When it comes to recruiting subordinates, you can't just do it casually. It depends on the situation.

Without any corresponding method, one just randomly recruits subordinates just to expand his own team. The ultimate result is that the size of the team increases but the overall strength decreases.

For Su Xingyu, he would rather be weaker than expand his power at will. Otherwise, he would have many ways to subdue those void gods.

Compared to other gods, believing in gods has many advantages, but their shortcomings are also very clear.

Their power comes from their believers, and their existence is also subject to their believers.

As for the gods of faith, Su Xingyu has the means to restrain them. He only needs to add some special "things" when they spread their faith, and set up his own religion in their plane.

Even so, it is impossible to completely control the foreign gods of faith, but when necessary, Su Xingyu can take this opportunity to give them a ruthless blow.

Not to mention killing it, there is absolutely no problem inflicting serious damage to it.

Of course, if He Himself is already weak by that time, then there is nothing that can be done.

In short, everything is based on strength. As long as His strength can remain strong, there is no need to worry about being betrayed by those who believe in God.

And if one day He becomes so weak that even the gods cannot frighten Him, then it means that His end is indeed near.

So theoretically speaking, as long as it is done properly, the two parties can be completely bound together, but this is for those who believe in gods.

The words of the ancient gods.

It is absolutely impossible to make a being with such great power truly submit to you, but since he has no clear weaknesses, you cannot control him.

Keeping such a person around is tantamount to placing a landmine next to him, and Su Xingyu doesn't want to give himself more things to do.

So, just kill him.

A powerful monster at the level of a higher true god should be able to give birth to several gods.

So, there were no surprises.

Under the siege of the Dark Lord and two higher true gods, the ancient orc god had no ability to resist at all. He was like a fish on a chopping board, being slaughtered at will the entire time.

What's even more tragic is that even if He wanted to give His enemy a severe blow before He died, He couldn't do it.

Compared to ordinary creatures who have fatal flaws, the vitality of believers in gods is too strong. Even if you stand still and let them do it, it is impossible to kill them in a short period of time.

Finally, after nearly five days of siege, the ancient orc god was completely destroyed, and his body, which was as big as a divine weapon, was cut into four pieces.

The Lord of Shadows looked at his dead 'former companion' and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. He was completely relieved and sighed, "This guy is finally dead. His vitality is really strong enough."

With the death of his 'former companion', he no longer has to worry that the news of his betrayal will be discovered by the ancient gods.

There is a double blockade and a 'void barrier' between them. The orc god does not have many means. Even if the ancient main god has been revived, it is impossible to communicate with him directly. The best they can do is to know that the orc god has fallen.

As for why the ancient orc god fell?

That depends on how He performs. There are plenty of reasons anyway.

Some were ambushed by the new god of the void, some were betrayed by the old god of the void, just make it up, is there anyone who would come to investigate?

Moreover, even if someone really came to investigate, he would not be able to find any useful information. After all, even the gods in the outside world did not know what had happened. Only the three of them knew the specific situation. He could not ask them directly.

"The trouble has been solved. We don't have to worry about these guys causing trouble anymore." The Earth Spirit looked happy. The trouble that had been weighing on his mind for thousands of years and the enemies that had prevented him from making further progress were finally solved.

Although He paid a price for this, even if He became the Lord God in the future, there was still a master over His head.

But how?
As mentioned before, following a new god with unlimited potential is much more promising than being the leader of any pantheon.

Even if he inherited the Yad pantheon and was promoted to the main god in the best condition, Arnold had no confidence that he could compete with those ancient main gods and the top powerful ones among the new gods.

In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, His best achievement in the future will be to become the main god of the fifth level.

In that case, why not join forces with a powerful person?

Among the many new gods of the void, there is the strongest one in the East who is named Emperor, the Four Emperors Eternal Night.

Arnold had experienced his strength before. He was definitely a being with unlimited potential. As long as he didn't die, his promotion to the thirteenth level would be a sure thing.

As for the higher levels, that is not something Arnold can know.

Arnold did not feel ashamed to follow such a great master, especially after even the knowledgeable ancient gods surrendered to him, he was even more glad for his previous decision.

That is to say, he surrendered early and the Dark Lord could use him. Otherwise, after a period of time, when the Dark Lord was promoted to the Lord God, he might not really think highly of him.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next? Do you need me to lead the Yad pantheon to join your army? After the death of Div, more than half of the authority of the pantheon was transferred to me. The power within the Yad pantheon no longer poses a threat. With the help of the gods under your command, we should be able to completely pacify the Yad pantheon in a hundred years." Arnold looked at the dark god in front of him and suggested softly.

"No, it's not time yet."

Su Xingyu shook his head and rejected His suggestion. "Just do what happened before, and pretend nothing happened. Don't hold back, just resist when you need to."

After a pause, He continued, "You can also take this opportunity to integrate the power within the God system and prepare for your future promotion to the Lord God. Compared to Div, your strength is still a little worse. Even if you have the Lord God's weapon and are recognized by the God system, it may not be that easy to become the Lord God."

To be honest, Su Xingyu really didn't think about killing Div so quickly, nor did he think about conquering the Yad God system so quickly.

There's really no room for it at home.

Even with the help of the World Tree, being able to cover the entire Dark God System is already the limit of his ability. Adding the Yad God System, which is larger than the Dark God System, into the mix would already be beyond his capabilities.

Moreover, once the Yad God system surrenders, the Dark God system's growing strength will not be able to find a suitable opponent to condense.

It can be said that Dave's actions really made Su Xingyu confused.

But He couldn't say it was wrong. After all, from any angle, He was the biggest beneficiary of this operation.

"As ordered."

Arnold's face lit up when he heard this.

Although Su Xingyu had promised before that he would let him inherit the Yad God system, Arnold still felt happy after he really got it.

"This is for you. With the help of the will of the gods, it should not be difficult for you to refine it." Su Xingyu took out a sledgehammer from the dark space and threw it to Arnold. It was the main artifact that Dave had used before, the Hammer of Destruction.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Arnold took the warhammer with trembling hands and almost knelt down before Him.

The Lord of Shadows watched from the side with his eyes almost popping out of his head. This was too generous!

This is the main artifact, and it is the main artifact used by the fifth-level main god. It is extremely precious, and yet it was given away like this!

Su Xingyu didn't have any psychological fluctuations and was very casual, as if it was just an ordinary prop.

It’s just the main artifact, no big deal.

That is to say, in the entire dark pantheon, he is the only one who has reached the level of a higher true god. No one else can use the main artifact, otherwise the main artifact in his hand would have been given away long ago.

In his opinion, no matter whether it is a divine artifact or a main divine artifact, it can only exert its corresponding power when it falls into the hands of the right person, otherwise it is just a useless collection.

The Hammer of Destruction and the Lord of the Yad God System are almost a perfect match. Once Arnold is promoted to the main god and holds the Hammer of Destruction, even the ancient main gods will be defeated when facing him.

"Your Majesty, what should I do?"

Seeing this, the Lord of Shadows also opened his mouth to ask.

"The final battlefield should still be the Chaos Continent. Since the matter has not been exposed, you should continue to lurk there." Su Xingyu thought for a while and said softly.

The Lord of Shadows came to surrender recently, much later than Arnold, but Su Xingyu still trusted Him very much.

No other reason, just simple.

Divine authority.

The dark authority and the shadow authority are in a relationship of superiors and subordinates, so as long as Su Xingyu is willing, he can easily infiltrate the Shadow Cult.

Therefore, as long as He does not die suddenly, there is no need to worry about the Lord of Shadows betraying Him.

The Lord of Shadows looked at Su Xingyu, moved his mouth, hesitated, but ultimately did not speak.

He did not want to lurk in the Chaos Continent because the competition there was too fierce and it was not suitable for him to continue developing.

Su Xingyu glanced at him, as if he could see through his thoughts, and then said: "Of course, the void side cannot be let go. Although you are still some distance away from the main god, you can prepare in advance. If you want to be promoted to the main god, you can't do without enough void planes. Now the void forces are all at war. It is the most chaotic era, but it is also the most suitable era for you."

Su Xingyu turned his gaze to Arnold and said, "There are too many planes in the Yad God System. It is probably unrealistic for you to achieve a perfect promotion. I don't have that much time for you. How about dividing a few planes and giving them to the shadows?"

"It's all up to your Majesty to arrange."

Arnold had a smile on his face and was not angry about his territory being divided up.

Su Xingyu looked at the Lord of Shadows again and asked for his opinion: "What do you think? The surrounding void planes are now being targeted. It is unlikely to find a completely free void plane. If you take action against those new void gods, they will report to me and I will have to take action."

"It's all up to His Majesty's arrangement."

The Lord of Shadows could not hide the excitement in his voice and replied respectfully.

"That's it, then. You maintain your power in the Chaos Continent, don't worry too much, just don't get wiped out. As for the Void, I'll give you a few planes to develop on your own. When your strength reaches the standard, I'll find a way to help you become a Lord God."

Su Xingyu nodded, and then added: "Of course, it is unlikely to happen in a short time. It will take at least several hundred years. You have no foundation in the void. Even with our help, it is impossible to develop directly."

The most important point for a true god to be promoted to a main god is to master enough pantheon planes and build a pantheon barrier.

Without enough planes, everything is bullshit.

It is obvious that the Lord of Shadows, who had just resurrected, was far from meeting the standards even after infiltrating several void planes.

Therefore, even if His true strength is not much different, it is meaningless.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

This time, the Lord of Shadows truly surrendered.

He had never seen or even heard of such a generous God.

“It’s okay as long as it doesn’t feel long.” Su Xingyu chuckled.

A few hundred years seemed quite long to Su Xingyu.

The Lord of Shadows then laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you have grown up in too short a time and do not understand us. For us, thousands of years, let alone hundreds of years, are not a problem. I don't know how many upper True Gods are stuck in this realm, unable to make any further progress for thousands or tens of thousands of years."

This is the biggest difference between the New God of the Void and the other two types of gods.

Although they have endless lifespans and have experienced a lot, they still cannot understand the ancient gods' concept of time.

There is no way. With the blessing of the void, they hardly encounter any bottlenecks. As time goes by, they are getting stronger.

Therefore, they cannot understand how rare it is to have an opportunity after hundreds of years.

Well. It is also possible that it is not that the New God of the Void cannot understand it, but that people like Su Xingyu cannot understand it.

"Okay, it's your business what you do. I'm not interested in interfering."

Su Xingyu shook his head, looked at Arnold, and said with a smile: "It's time to end this battle of gods. You should know what to do next."

"As you wish, Your Majesty," Arnold said respectfully.

bang——

As the two of them removed the blockade, the entire space exploded instantly. The terrifying energy fluctuations spread billions of miles away, causing the void to boil.

Arnold, the spirit lord of the earth, returned to the Yad pantheon alone, which officially announced the end of this war of gods.

The dark gods stopped while they were ahead and did not pursue the victory. They simply took the opportunity to capture some of the territories left after the gods' demise.

No one knows what happened in this battle of gods, but the result was that the Yad pantheon was defeated. Not only did four gods die, but even the lord of the pantheon at the level of a true god fell.

Even though they felt there was something fishy going on, in order to survive, the gods of the Yad pantheon still had to quickly elect a new lord of the pantheon.

Therefore, the only true god Arnold became the only candidate. Soon after, the Earth Spirit Lord replaced the Dwarf God Lord and became the new Lord of the Yad God System. (End of this chapter)
