"I am the Death God Aillé, the overseer of the Cycle of Reincarnation and the protector of Order. Now that the Holy War has begun, I declare that we shall declare war against the Chaos Faction and all invaders from other dimensions!"
This simple declaration astonished all living beings. No, not only ordinary people, even the True Gods and demons were astonished by this ancient God's sudden declaration in such a calm tone.
Perhaps this was just a simple declaration of war, but the underlying meaning and political implications it represented made everyone ponder deeply.
A declaration of war? Why was there a declaration of war? Hadn't all the previous Holy Wars been started in such a muddled manner?
Why was it the Death God Aillé who declared war? Based on the current situation of the Order Faction, even if a declaration of war was necessary, it should have been the God of Holy Light, the pillar of the Order Faction.
The other Main Gods hadn't even said anything yet. Why was it Aillé, who had always stayed out of so many Holy Wars, suddenly speaking up? Just what was he intending to do? Wasn't he worried that the God of Holy Light would be displeased?
Right, he even used the word "we," which meant that apart from him, who else could it be! Could it be that the Gods were fighting amongst themselves? Could it be that the True Gods of the Order Faction were already beginning to split?
Just the first declaration alone was enough for the sharp-witted to notice that a storm was brewing. But if one looked deeper into it, it would be an unimaginable fear.
I nodded in agreement. This was what I had expected as well.
"War without declaration? Fight without being defeated? Get along on the surface, but secretly go about their own business? "
"That's right. There's no need for us to directly cause trouble with the God of Holy Light and his Follower Gods. All we need to do is fight for the right to speak in the Holy War. Only I am righteous, and those who are just receive help! In the midst of chaos, the one with the loudest voice is the righteous one. Only those who have the right to speak are the righteous ones. Since this is a script where evil is defeated by justice, we need to think of ways to become the side that represents justice and morality. "
This declaration of war was the first step in fighting for public opinion. On the surface, it showed the ambitions and ambitions of the Aillé faction. This seemingly meaningless declaration of war was actually using the Holy War as an excuse to raise the flag of the Aillé Faction. Thus, an Order faction that was different from the God of Holy Light was born.
Yep, on the surface, Aillé's side was still on the Order Side, but on the inside … it was obvious that they were fighting each other, so what was the point of Order!? Even if he wasn't on the Chaos side, he was at least on the neutral side.
However, merely raising a flag was definitely not enough. No one was willing to board a dangerous ship that could capsize at any time.
Everyone knew which side they should take in the face of the Holy Light faction's super powerful strength. Even though the Holy War wouldn't erupt anytime soon due to the Holy War, it was obvious that we were at odds with the God of Holy Light's system. If the God of Holy Light won the Holy War in the future, it was almost certain that there would be a great battle.
"That's why we need to use this Holy War as an opportunity. Not only do we need to take the initiative, but we also need to strengthen our own faction. At the very least, we need to be on par with the Holy Light faction."
These words seemed rather contradictory. If the ship wasn't large and stable enough, it wouldn't be able to attract customers, and if there weren't any customers, it wouldn't be able to gather enough money to buy a large ship. However, I knew a way to resolve this contradiction.
"Have you heard of Amway? No? That's great. Cough, wait, we're not as overboard as Amway. We're not spreading the word. At the very least, we're doing direct sales. Alright, simply speaking, all we need to do is make our customers believe in us and spend money to buy various ship parts for us. It's the equivalent of raising funds to buy a ship. Once they've invested enough money and shares, when their interests are aligned with ours, they naturally won't be able to leave the ship. "
But how exactly should I do this? Actually, it was quite simple. I had a ready-made example right here — my deceptive System.
When it came to making others fall into a pit, who could possibly compare to this deceptive System that had made me fall into a pit for several hundred years? All we needed to do was give everyone a "System", and then the neutral True Gods would naturally have the right to speak. Everyone would then fight for them, and then pay the price in return, gradually growing stronger. This was the so-called "Dragon Proudly Raising Plan."
That's right, as the war progressed, the current Holy War in the game's "history" was destined to be the last Holy War. The enemies kept growing stronger and stronger, making it so that even the cheat-like players couldn't keep up with the speed of growth. In the end, they all died on the endless path of conquest.
But when I looked back at the game's "history," I felt that this was only natural. For quite a long period of time, these outsiders didn't have any sense of belonging to this world. Everything they did was based on their own interests. Perhaps today they would fight for the glory of Order, but tomorrow they would betray their faction for the sake of some powerful demon who promised them a beautiful Myth-ranked sword. There were even more who transformed themselves into demons and undead.
"A blade without conviction is meaningless. Power without guidance will only harm oneself."
Meanwhile, the original residents were completely different. They had their own people and their own homes, so they had a firm stance. However, their birth determined their stance. They were too deeply involved, and it would be difficult for them to break free. They were restricted by their country and species. Just the various internal wars had lasted for an unknown amount of time, and countless talents and resources had been lost. By the time they learned who their true enemies were, it was already too late.
Not only that, due to all sorts of rules and regulations, their growth speed was also limited. They were unable to keep up with their increasingly powerful enemies, and the further they progressed, the more powerless they became.
In this real world, there were no players who didn't have a stance to speak of. The original residents were our only hope. However, just them alone wouldn't be enough.
"That's why we need to give them the direction of our swords. We need to give them a shortcut to growth, and give them the possibility to jump out of their own narrow-mindedness."
This was the strategic goal that I mentioned in my report. As long as we accomplished this, the original residents would transform into our swords. Even if we didn't count the power of True Gods that their devout faith would transform into, the power we possessed would naturally continue to grow.
Inconceivable? Impossible to control? Just like what my System had done to me, that would be enough. Although there was indeed no other System in this world, we had a True God. If my System could do it, wouldn't a True God who was connected to the foundational dimensional laws of Aichy be able to do it?
"I am the God of Fate, Catio, the Weaver of Fate, the Guardian of Order. I declare that I shall declare war against the Chaos Faction and all invaders from other dimensions!"
When that golden scroll was opened, Catio's declaration echoed throughout the endless land. However, the truly important part came after he made his stance clear.
"I am the Goddess of Moonlight Patricia, the Guardian of the Night, the Guardian of Order. I declare that I shall declare war against the Chaos Faction and all invaders from other dimensions!"
Another silver scroll was torn open, and yet another powerful God made a declaration. A gentle female voice also made a sonorous declaration of war.
"We shall be responsible for guarding and supervising the Chaos Faction. We shall mark all invaders from other dimensions and villains of Chaos! All brave individuals who fight for justice and Order shall be rewarded by the Order Gods! "
Two divine power scrolls, one gold and one silver, transformed into pure divine power. The two divine power blended together and transformed into a divine power forbidden spell that became a pillar of light that reached the heavens. The next instant, even though it was still daytime, boundless moonlight descended upon this place.
"It's dark!!"
"The galaxy … how is this possible!?"
Under the combined forbidden spell of two powerful Gods, the entire world was covered in darkness. A beautiful galaxy appeared before everyone's eyes. Nobody dared to ignore such a declaration anymore.
In the God of Fate's palace, Catio untied the Fate Web that had already been weaved. The Fate Web that had lost control collapsed into numerous knots, which then dissolved into numerous threads of fate. All fates became intertwined, and all fates became unknown. From this moment onwards, nobody would ever be able to use prophecy magic again. Everyone's future became unpredictable.
The moment that Catio lost control over the threads of fate, his divine power greatly decreased. He directly dropped from a powerful God to a mid-level God, and was still dropping!
Meanwhile, the same thing was happening in the Goddess of Moonlight's Divine Domain. This was where starlight gathered.
The Goddess of Moonlight, whose divine body had mostly transformed into moonlight and starlight, was now at her weakest. In just a short moment, she also became a mid-level God.
Tens of thousands of years of accumulation had gone down the drain, and the two True Gods had almost become enemies with the God of Holy Light. Since these two True Gods had paid such a heavy price, it was only natural that they wanted even more. The divine power that they had lost intertwined and started to weave a starry web that covered the entire world. They would become omnipresent observers that would sense this world.
Meteors streaked across the sky. Countless stars flashed furiously, and all intelligent creatures felt as if they were being watched.
Countless thin threads spread out along with the divine power, while the gray stardust landed on the undead outside the forest that were currently entering the mortal plane. Red insignias representing calamity were imprinted on the undead's bodies, while the residents of the mortal plane had blue starlight insignias on their foreheads.
This starry web created by the power of fate and moonlight was a perpetual forbidden spell. From now on, anyone who entered this plane would touch the starry web. Any existence that entered this plane without permission would be imprinted with an insignias of insignias. These insignias didn't have any offensive abilities. Their only use was to mark those non-Order residents and point them out on the maps of the major churches.
After the two True Gods paid a tremendous price, the starry web was completed. From now on, their priests and Holy Temple Knight would be able to use all sorts of guidance and exploration-type Divine Arts through the starry web. Nobody would be able to escape detection under the omnipresent starry web.
This was also the main point that I mentioned on the first page of my report.
"First, what we need to do is to point out who is the mortal plane's enemy and who is the mortal plane's friend. This was the first and most important step to take. Yep, it'll be best if we can use a divine forbidden spell to imprint it permanently. Although we'll have to pay a high price, only then will we be able to obtain a high level of authority. This will also allow people to trust the truthfulness and neutrality of the spell. Right, don't forget to leave a backdoor to control it. Once everyone believes that the target we're pointing out is the true enemy … heh heh. "
At this moment, even Aillé himself heaved a sigh of relief. Although the starry web would take many more days to complete, this was the best he could do to stop it now. Soon, the starry web would become a part of this world's foundational natural laws. By the time the Main Gods realized this, apart from killing the two True Gods, there would be no other way to stop the starry web's existence.
And if anyone wanted to find trouble with the two True Gods who would recover their divine power through hibernation … they'd have to ask Aillé himself first! From today onwards, the three True Gods' Divine Realms would be linked together. Ever since ancient times, Aillé would no longer fear any God's challenge.
And right now, in the Forest of Dreams, I was admiring the dazzling starlight and reading the lines that Aillé had prepared for me. I pretty much knew what I needed to do, so I spoke up.
"I am Wumianzhe, the God of Law and Contracts, the Overseer of Law, the Protector of Order. I declare that I shall declare war against the Chaos Faction and all invaders from other dimensions!
"I am Beni, the Guardian God of Craftsmen and Dwarves, the discoverer and researcher of new techniques, the Protector of Order. I declare that I shall declare war against the Chaos Faction and all invaders from other dimensions!
"I am Beyana, the Goddess of Wealth, the wielder of wealth, the Protector of Order. I declare that I shall declare war against the Chaos Faction and all invaders from other dimensions!"
One Main God, two powerful Gods, and three mid-level Gods. Just the power that Aillé was currently displaying was enough to make it so that no faction would dare to underestimate him. Fine then, I guessed that he now had one Main God and five mid-level Gods, but this definitely wasn't the entirety of Aillé's forces. It was likely that nobody knew what else Aillé had under his command.
At this moment, I took a deep breath. I knew that the entire world would change as I spoke my next declaration.
"As the creator and overseer of the contract, all those who wish to fight for justice and order may sign a contract with me, becoming a warrior who protects their home and order. No matter what your status or identity was in the past, after signing the contract, you shall become comrades and brothers who will help each other. Those who betray the dimension and allies shall be punished by the contract, while those who fight for the dimension shall be rewarded by the Gods according to the contract. "
After I finished my declaration, Beni, the God of Craftsmen, spoke up once again.
"And in order for the contract to be successfully carried out, all contractors may receive a 'Hero's Armband' from me. This armband will record the warriors' combat achievements and experiences, and use this to calculate the 'Justice Points' the warriors receive. The first batch of 100,000 Justice Points is limited. First come, first served! As for the second batch … wait until I'm free! "
Beni had been born as a dwarf. His voice was sharp and ear-piercing, which was unique to dwarves. Even though he was a True God, he still had the dwarves' mischievous personality.
"As the Protector of Wealth, the Justice Points that represent honor and wealth shall be exchanged with me for the Gods' precious treasures! Treasures that have existed for tens of millions of years. Our treasure trove is quite abundant. The Fountain of Eternal Youth, Myth-ranked God Equipment, fine wine, beautiful women, royal nobles, and even the chance to ascend to Godhood. Anything you can think of, we have it! But … we don't accept debts! We only accept cash! "
The Goddess of Wealth Beyana's declaration was quite personal, but it was actually the most important part. Why would others risk their lives for you if there were no rewards or rewards? And the Aillé Divine System had also invested quite a bit. Just a glance at the items that could be exchanged for made me want to rob them!
Alright then, at this level, it was likely that everyone could tell that while others treated this game as another world, I treated this world as a game. Since there were no cheat-like players in this world, I might as well create more of them.
"Dragon Mass Production Plan! What's the scariest thing in this world? It's the main character's Dragon Mass Production Plan! Why are all those legends filled with undying cockroaches!? That's because those who aren't strong enough will all die on the way, so naturally there won't be any legends! This time, the first batch of 100,000 Justice Points will be released. Let's see how many main character lives there will be! Bosses, tremble in fear! The footmen army is coming! "
