Chapter 544: Chapter 375: Ragnarok, Another Use for the Artifact Spirit (Part 2)
[In the year 5262 of the New Source Era, after 35 years of conquest, 90% of the Level 3 Gods among the Gods were successfully captured, and half of the Level 2 Gods were sealed.]
[Among the Five Great Main Gods and Level 1 Gods, eight were sealed by the Alliance.]
[The Freedom Alliance was almost entirely controlled and hollowed out by the Alliance, and the newly promoted Level 1 God who wielded power was besieged by the Gods, willing to submit to the Alliance.]
[The Celestial Rainbow Alliance formally entered this world.]
A gigantic spatial vortex gate appeared in the sky of this world.
People accustomed to the descent of divine miracles looked up.
What they saw was a miracle far beyond divine wonders!
An immense war fortress overshadowed the sky.
The Celestial Rainbow warship, resembling an ancient flying beast, hovered in the air like a floating continent, casting a massive shadow over the land.
It was as if day had transformed into night.
One by one, cultivators controlling flying swords or artifacts descended from the warship.
Some earth-bound demons roared at the sky, only to be beheaded by flying swords.
Some kingdom knights prostrated before the sky-flying Sword Cultivator.
Some deities were dragged out from the Divine Hall and sealed in front of countless mortals...
"The Twilight of the Gods has arrived..."
A Grand Scholar from the mortal realm watched the brilliant scene in the sky that did not belong to this world and murmured these words.
[The current power of the Gods Continent is not even half of that from 35 years ago.]
[Both the new and old gods suffered mutually, with the new gods soon submitting to the Celestial Rainbow Alliance, while the old gods still lingered on.]
[In June of 5263 of the New Source Era, the last Main God, Haoyang Main God, was captured and sealed by Lin Wui, signifying the complete roundup of deities on the Gods Continent.]
[Whether wandering deities or pantheon deities, whether new gods or old gods, when faced with the Alliance’s sword edge, their only choices were submission or death.]
[The Gods Continent is too vast and will require more time for cultural transformation and assimilation.]
[A large number of talents were preemptively selected from this world, and many spiritual objects, spirit medicines, and spiritual ores that had not been exploited by the gods were developed and collected.]
[One Level 1 God from the Freedom Alliance who chose to submit, along with five Level 2 Gods and twenty-one Level 3 Gods, were incorporated into the Allied Gods’ Temporary Department to manage this world on behalf of the Alliance.]
Level 1 Gods are equivalent to Mid-Stage Golden Core, Level 2 Gods to Early-Stage Golden Core, and Level 3 Gods to Fake Core; the Celestial Rainbow Alliance suddenly gained an additional six Golden Core-level powers.
When the enemy does not understand their strength, coupled with the cultivation treasures, artifact talismans, and arrays given by the Alliance, these deities can completely substitute for Golden Core Masters.
The original Gods Continent only had about thirty Level 1, Level 2, and Main Gods combined.
The Celestial Rainbow Alliance had nearly twenty Golden Core Masters, and suddenly gaining six more Golden Core powers significantly bolstered the Celestial Rainbow Alliance.
More crucially, the entire Gods Continent was plowed by the Celestial Rainbow Alliance, and all the believers lost their faith.
If the Celestial Rainbow Alliance wished, they could fully elevate these six to Late-Stage Golden Core, equivalent to the realm of Main Gods.
Even more astonishing is that if the entire continent’s faith were gathered, it might be possible to create... a deity equivalent to a Nascent Soul!
[The Alliance established the Alliance of Gods at the center of the continent, officially incorporating the Gods Continent into the Alliance as a district.]
[The empire system was abolished, replaced by the city-state system, the kingdom was dissolved, and only countless towns remained on this continent.]
[The Collection Department, Spirit-Seeking Department, Law Enforcement Department, and Allied Gods’ Temporary Department became the highest authority on this continent.]
[The Collection Department seeks to gather spirit medicines, spiritual ores, and spiritual objects on this continent, many of which had not been used by the gods; the accumulation over twenty thousand years is immeasurably rich.]
[The Spirit-Seeking Department consists of experienced Spirit Seekers, many of whom have related talents, able to select seeds with excellent cultivation talent from the masses.]
[The Law Enforcement Department is a forceful agency to suppress illegal riots; a group of fanatics still exists on this continent, even though their deities are absent, they still wield the power of warrior mages, secretly hoping for the deities’ return, and the Law Enforcement Department also bears the responsibility of finding scattered low-level deities who have escaped capture.]
[The Allied Gods’ Temporary Department is a temporary department for gods submitting to the Alliance, assisting the Law Enforcement Department and pacifying the populace; faith has been spreading in this continent for twenty thousand years and cannot be changed overnight; it requires these new gods to comfort believers, the benefit being that the faith of this continent now belongs to them.]
[The Alliance decrees that no citizen of the continent shall believe in deities before the age of twelve, and can only participate in talent selection to believe in deities after twelve.]
[The Power of Faith will compromise certain talents; twelve is the age when spirit root talents are most easily discovered; faced with a massive population, even the Alliance can only conduct a unified search at this age when talents are most easily discovered.]
[Moreover, in the preceding years, some with poor cultivation talents were not qualified to enter the Celestial Rainbow Alliance.]
[The Gods Continent was thoroughly reshuffled, and the new rulers ascended this continent.]
[However, a mystery spreads on this continent: where did those old gods go?]
[In the following years, some tried to communicate with the old gods, and surprisingly found through faith channels, those old gods seemed not to have perished; calling the divine names could still receive responses, but these responses carried no information value, merely unconscious murmurs.]
[This is also why fanatics still exist; no one knows where those old gods have gone.]
