Chapter 16: Subsidiary Planes, Roaming The World

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

More than a hundred gods gathered at the Dimension Portal.

Sullo was one of them.

When everyone had arrived, the seminary teacher took out a token and injected some divine power into it, activating the Dimension Portal.

Everyone stepped in and the scene before them changed rapidly, countless streaks of light passing in front of their eyes.

Once they steadied their footing, they realized they had arrived at an unfamiliar plane.

This was a subsidiary plane in the Light divine domain. It was called Valanda and the goal of Sullo and the other gods.

The War Theological Seminary had already done their preliminary research of the planet and formulated a detailed strategy.

When they arrived, there was no need to explain further. As the seminary’s leaders, the instructors assigned their respective tasks immediately.

Sullo and the two upper-grade gods were assigned to a place called Clay Planet.

The three of them set up a defensive barrier in the sky and began to discuss their plans of how to conquer Clay Planet.

An Elder God was the first to speak, pointing below at Clay Planet.

“Gods from the Light divine domain are different from us. They like to enslave their believers and let them charge at the front as they hide behind to enjoy the fruits of victory.

“We all know that their believers are very weak and have almost no ability to resist against the gods. However, the Light divine domain’s ancestor managed to develop a technique called God’s Descent. This can bestow a god’s power onto their believers.

“The higher the level of the believer’s faith, the stronger the power the god can bestow. For example, the highest-level holy spirit can fully absorb a god’s power through this technique.

“Although these believers will tragically die one after another during the gods’ descent, they will still be the first to react during a fight since it’s protecting their own interests.

“Therefore, the first thing we need to do is to dissolve their believers’ fate to prevent them from obtaining their gods’ powers. What do you think?”

The god beside Sullo nodded and agreed.

“I think this plan is very good and can be carried out. However, I suggest that the three of us work together to block any escape routes on Clay Planet so these believers cannot communicate with their God. This way, we can temporarily prevent the gods from using this technique.

“After that, we can take this opportunity to completely destroy their believers’ fate and take over Clay Planet.”

They discussed their plans to take over Clay Planet, not even giving Sullo a chance to speak once.

In their eyes, Sullo was just a rookie and didn’t know anything at all.

If they hadn’t been assigned this group based on the seminary instructors’ instructions, they wouldn’t have been willing to team up with Sullo.

Sullo’s eyes were bright. He naturally understood what they were thinking.

He didn’t say much and just quietly listened to their discussion as he didn’t feel like getting into a meaningless argument.

As long as he could obtain the greatest benefit, he didn’t really care if these two took the spotlight.

The plan was finalized during their discussion and it was now time to execute it.

They wanted to weave a huge net, blocking the entire planet’s belief channel—the connection between believers and gods. All they needed to do was consume a large amount of faith power to do so.

Sullo decided to work with them without putting in any effort. He only took out less than a hundred strands of faith power, which was less than a fraction of the other two’s contributions.

The two senior gods felt cheated by this and had ugly expressions on their faces. However, when they thought about what they had done previously, they didn’t say anything else.

When the belief-blocking network was completed, the two snorted coldly and left together.

They had made up their minds to exclude Sullo from the team.

Sullo saw this and could not help but smile. He flew to Planet Clay’s surface.

On this life planet, two intelligent races each occupied one side, with resources divided between both sides.

One side was the human race. They were divided into three kingdoms, with seven small duchies and countless marquis, Earl, Baron, Viscount, and knight territories.

Fortunately, the orcs on the other side were more scattered than the humans.

The internal differences among the orcs were even more serious as they were composed of tribes of different sizes.

The tribal chiefs were considered the individual tribe leaders. There were also tribal elders who controlled the temples.

There was also the concept of a country among the orcs, but this was mostly seen as an alliance between the orc tribes themselves and arranged by the individual orc chiefs.

Each chieftain was equivalent to a local governor in the human kingdom, and they chose the most powerful tribal chieftain as their king.

In order to prevent the king from monopolizing power, the orcs would often choose a tribe that could compete with the royal family. They would be responsible for managing the temple and offering sacrifices to the gods.

Sullo transformed into an ordinary person and descended into a human kingdom.

When he learned of this information, he couldn’t help but laugh.

They were a group of mortals, yet they had so many tricks up their sleeves. Wasn’t that ridiculous?

To the gods, what were things such as division of power and balance? What were tribal kingdoms? To them, they were just ants they could destroy with a raise of their hand.

This was the meaning of absolute strength. It didn’t matter whether they were kings, chiefs, popes, or priests, they would all die.

But when he thought about how the Light gods worked, he somewhat understood why they allowed such a thing.

If these forces were not divided into large and small chains of interest that fought against each other, where would the gods gather their faith?

The Light gods did not have the same system as them, where they focused on cultivating believers, opening up a divine domain, and achieving a state of symbiosis.

All they liked to do was pit their believers against each other and weed through them like vegetables to be harvested when the time was right.

Deep in thought, Sullo strolled around the city and browsed through the sights of the world.

At that moment, the sound of horse hooves came from behind him, as if a large group of people was approaching him.

Sullo thought that these people would just pass him by like the rest.

He did not expect the carriage to stop not far away from him. The curtains were lifted by a delicate hand that looked like flawless white jade, revealing a beautiful face that was filled with joy. The woman’s clear and melodious voice came from her small cherry mouth.

“Sir, the road is bumpy and muddy. I’m afraid that bandits will run amok and kill you if you continue to walk by foot. If you don’t mind, you can get into my carriage. How about we travel together?”

A group of elite human knights guarded the carriage at all sides.

These human knights were fully covered in armor. Even their eyes were inlaid with extremely hard transparent crystals as protection.

Each of them held a three-meter-long giant lance in their hands. They were also equipped with a giant tower shield and a two-handed greatsword.

The mounts under them looked even more outrageous. They were actually horse-shaped magical beasts with horns on their heads and flames spewing out of their mouths.

If he were an ordinary person, he would have already been trembling in fear.

In fact, they would have probably agreed to the lady’s request out of fear.

But was Sullo an ordinary person?

He ignored the knight captain’s ferocious gaze and smiled lightly at the woman as he nodded.

“If that’s what you want!”
