Chapter 4: City of the Gods
Su Xingyu stepped through the door, and then he felt his consciousness blurry, and then he came to a wide street.
This is a huge ancient city. Su Xingyu can feel that it is very close to the void. It is even possible that this city is built on the void. Here, the suppression of the plane laws is extremely weak, almost non-existent.
As the suppression weakened, His body recovered to three meters in height, making Him a little giant. However, even so, He still looked extremely small when standing on the street, like an ant in the woods.
Above the sky hangs a blazing, bright sun.
Beyond the sky is the endless darkness of the starry sky, and a layer of transparent sky separates the City of Gods from the starry sky.
[System prompt: You have entered the absolutely safe area "City of Gods". Fighting is prohibited here. Violators will be expelled! ]
People come and go on the street, they are of different shapes and sizes.
A human with a dragon's head, a human with a bull's head, a human with a fish's head, a red lizard man, a green goblin...
They are all gods like Su Xingyu, but because of the differences in their powers, divine nature, and clans, the forms they manifest are also different.
Of course, Su Xingyu had no right to laugh at them, as his current appearance was not much better.
Everyone was shocked when they saw a dark figure that suddenly appeared in the middle of the street. The figure was taller than them and exuded a terrifying aura.
What a strong guy.
The City of Gods is located in the endless sea of stars. There are no perfect rules like those in the planes here, and most of the gods are now unable to control their power freely, causing them to manifest some strange phenomena.
The most intuitive way to observe whether a god is powerful is to look at his size and then compare him with other gods of the same kind.
For example, the Goblin God. If the body of the God He manifests here reaches three meters, then there is no doubt that this is a powerful being far superior to those of the same level.
And Su Xingyu who appeared in front of everyone at this moment was just like this. He was a human god, and his body size reached three meters in the City of Gods. This was a bit exaggerated.
Feeling the gazes from all around, Su Xingyu frowned slightly. The Ye tribe had been expanding at a very fast speed recently, and the number of believers had increased significantly, causing his power to grow rapidly as well, to the point where he could hardly control it.
He restrained his aura slightly, and his body shrank to ten feet. Although he still looked powerful, he was not as exaggerated as before.
Walking into the crowd, Su Xingyu looked around.
There are many stalls on both sides of the street, with all kinds of goods on display, including weapons, armor, ores, and blueprints...
"It seems that even if you become a god, you can't avoid the fate of selling things on the street." Looking at the stalls that were no different from those in the main world, Su Xingyu couldn't help but complain.
After looking around for a while, Su Xingyu was a little disappointed. There were many things for sale here, but nothing that met his requirements.
Either the quality is poor or the quantity is too small.
Just when He was disappointed, a voice came from the side: "Brother, is this your first time in the City of Gods?"
Su Xingyu turned around subconsciously and saw a slightly plump young man looking at him with a smile, with some doubt in his eyes. He nodded: "That's right."
"Mind having an extra guide?"
The fat young man smiled and then added, "It's free."
Su Xingyu thought about it and didn't know what the fat man wanted to do, but he needed to know the information right now, and this was an absolutely safe area, so he didn't refuse.
He nodded and said, "Sorry for the trouble."
"It's not a problem. At home, I rely on my parents. When I go out, I rely on my friends. Only by helping each other can we make progress together..." The fat young man had a smile on his face and always maintained a humble attitude.
"It's not convenient to talk here, how about we go somewhere else?"
"Okay." Led by the fat young man, the two chatted as they walked, and soon left the street and came to a courtyard with a Western medieval architectural style.
Su Xingyu was a little surprised. Although he didn't know the housing prices in the City of Gods, it shouldn't be cheap considering that it cost 10 Divine Sources to enter once.
Whether buying or renting, it must require a lot of divine resources.
The two men walked into the courtyard, and the fat man spoke first: "We've been chatting all the way, but I still don't know your name, brother. My name is Wang Dong, and I'm a religious god."
Su Xingyu did not answer him, but asked in confusion: "What are religious gods?"
"Forehead."
Wang Dong was stunned: "Brother, haven't you read the article on the forum..."
The forum is located within the [Information] module of the system. You can freely post articles on it by spending a certain amount of divine resources.
Su Xingyu shook his head: "I just finished the task and haven't had time to read it yet."
"Then let me explain it to you briefly."
Wang Dong thought for a moment and said:
“In this world, everyone has obtained a godhood. Depending on the attributes and powers of the godhood, everyone’s path of development is different.
"Some gods are suitable for developing tribes, expanding the number of believers in the form of tribes, and winning by quantity. For example, gods of war and killing are naturally suitable for developing tribes and conquering all directions.
"However, some godheads are not suitable for this route of developing tribes. For example, my godhead, "Merchant", is fine for me to run a trading market, but it would be a bit difficult for me to develop tribes. So I can only establish a religion, and then attach myself to each tribe and concentrate on developing my own authority.
"Developing the gods of the tribe is called the leader stream. Developing the gods and attaching them to the tribe is called the religious stream. Relatively speaking, the leader stream is more powerful, but it is also more difficult to develop."
"interesting."
Su Xingyu sighed inwardly, and then asked curiously, "Besides these two, are there any other schools?"
"Ah."
Wang Dong nodded and replied: "There is also a kind of 'unique flow', also called individual flow.
"Not everyone can complete the initial mission and enter the primary realm. Some unlucky believers' tribes were destroyed early on. Believers are very important to the gods. I believe you also understand this. Believers are like anchors. The more we have, the more stable our state will be. On the contrary, the less we have, the more unstable our state will be."
“Those indigenous transcendents can’t break into the divine realm and kill the gods, but without their believers, the gods are no different from rootless water. Even if they don’t die immediately, one day they will run out of faith and fall into eternal slumber.
"Falling into eternal sleep is no different from death. Some unlucky gods are unwilling to sleep like this, so they simply give up the divine realm and completely merge the godhood and the "body" to become divine creatures. In this way, although the path to becoming a god becomes more difficult, it is better than sleeping to death directly."
Su Xingyu nodded silently. He understood this point deeply. In the process of developing the Ye tribe, he encountered the crisis of genocide more than once. If he was not strong enough, he might have become a "lone strong man" by now.
The advantages of the Duqiang flow are obvious. If one person is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry. Moreover, as divine creatures, they have long lifespans and talents far beyond ordinary creatures, so it is not difficult for them to get along well.
However, if given a choice, 99 percent of people would choose to lead the mainstream.
You have to do everything yourself, which is not as good as commanding a bunch of believers to do the work for you.
One is an employee and the other is a boss. If given a choice, most people would choose to be the boss.
Su Xingyu smiled and stretched out his hand: "Xingyu, leader of the main spirit."
Wang Dong was stunned, then he held his hand and spoke again: "Wang Dong, a religious god."
