Because of the increase of the God of Knowledge's priesthood, his believers increased rapidly, especially the believers of the original God of Classics and the God of Scholars. They accepted Wall's faith without much resistance and became his loyal believers.
There were two reasons for this. One was that they really needed faith. And Wall's priesthood and his achievements were also very suitable for these scholars or nerds to follow. The other was because these people had a higher level of education. No matter how devout they were, they were unlikely to become fanatics — fanaticism and ignorance were two sides of the same coin. The more enlightened a person was, the lower the proportion of fanatics — so they could accept the fact that the gods died and the priesthood changed.
Just like in those movies, the veterans would not refuse to recognize the new big boss just because the big boss had changed — especially if the new big boss was a good person and had nothing to do with the old big boss's death …
Oh, yes, after getting the new priesthood, the God of Knowledge's name also changed. Now his official name was the "God of Knowledge and Culture." The former included the acquisition, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge; the latter included the research, preservation, and promotion of culture. Of course, it could also be subdivided into several priesthoods, and even promote several followers.
According to the estimation of the knowledgeable God of Justice and the God of Pleasure, if he had enough time to accumulate, with his current priesthood, Wall could already step into the level of great Divine Power.
Probably … it would take a thousand years.
A thousand years was really nothing for the immortal gods.
"I used more than two thousand years to go from apotheosized to great Divine Power, which was already considered extremely fast by the gods. In the end, you only needed half the time … "Yorgaardman, the God of Justice, seemed to be very sad." The younger generation will surpass the older! "
"There are many gods who used thousands or even tens of thousands of years and could not step into the great Divine Power," Javier, the God of Pleasure, also sighed.
As for Morani, who "could not step into the great Divine Power for thousands of years," he did not know what to say.
Oh, there was also Ariel. His predecessor, the former Sea Goddess Verbocus, was an example of "could not step into the great Divine Power for tens of thousands of years."
In fact, the God of Law and the Goddess of Wealth were also such examples. But now that they had stepped into the great Divine Power, at least they did not lose face in front of the younger generation.
"Spending a thousand years to become a great Divine Power is actually not that great." Wall said with a smile, "Our Majesty only took a few decades to reach this level. That's really amazing!"
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately looked at Sui Xiong.
The God of Justice pursed his lips and said helplessly, "You can't compare him. If you do, everyone will be furious …"
When he said that, everyone laughed.
It had only been about 50 years since Sui Xiong first appeared in Jianghu. But he was now recognized as one of the great Divine Powers, and he was one of the candidates who was qualified to compete for the title of "the strongest" among the great Divine Powers. This rate of improvement was simply unimaginable. There had never been a second person like this since ancient times.
Not only that, but he had also been helping and promoting other gods. With his help, there were already two gods who had stepped into the great Divine Power. There were also two who had been newly apotheosized. In addition, there were two who had been reborn, and those whose strength had greatly increased … There was now a famous rumor among the gods that if one made friends with the Void Mask, it would most likely mean that one's divinity could be improved by another level. It was more real than real gold.
In this regard, Sui Xiong could only say … Friend, we must believe in science and not be superstitious!
"Now, in this battle of missionary work, I can almost be considered to have won," Wall said with a smile. "The question is, how do you think I should end this matter?"
Hearing this, all the gods began to ponder.
Just as he said, because he had obtained a new priesthood and inherited the followers of the God of Classics and the God of Scholars, he had already gained a decisive advantage in the battle of missionary work with the God of Aristocracy. If one were to say that this was a fierce competition, the two sides were still evenly matched before this. But from now on, the competition had already entered garbage time. Unless the God of Aristocracy could really come up with a big piece of news and do something earth-shattering, no one could see that they had any other way to turn the tables.
The Mystery Gods had fallen, and among them, the priesthood of the God of Spellcasters did not have a successor for the time being. It was said that the Human God System wanted to promote a God of Mages, but until now, he had not appeared. The successor of the God of Classics and the God of Scholars was Wall. Just from the perspective of the change of priesthoods, one could see how great Wall's advantage was.
After he had taken over the two priesthoods, even many scholars and mages who were originally inclined to the God of Aristocracy changed their attitudes. It was difficult to fake faith. Even if they were very tempted by the benefits that the Church of the God of Aristocracy could give, it was difficult to change what a person actually believed in, what they insisted on, and what their principles were in life.
Moreover, the benefits that the God of Aristocracy could give, the God of Knowledge — now the God of Knowledge and Culture — could also give. But the benefits that the God of Knowledge and Culture could give, the God of Aristocracy might not be able to.
If the total number of believers that the two sides could fight for before was said to be 100, with each side having 30 and 40 left to fight for, then the ratio between the two sides now was about 60 and 20. Among the remaining 20, there were still many who were inclined to Wall's side.
So, as Wall said, the thing to consider now was no longer how to win, but how to end it.
Wall did not want to really make a big fuss with the God of Aristocracy, nor did he want to cause a war between the two god systems because of this. But he was also not willing to give up the subsequent preaching because of this — 70 to 30 and 60 to 40, although both were victories, the effects were very different. The former should be able to effectively stop the God of Aristocracy from breaking through to the great Divine Power, but the latter might not be able to.
In this way, "ending it" had indeed become a difficult problem.
Especially since the higher-ups of both churches were still fighting. They had been fighting for more than half a month, and they were still fighting. How to put an end to this battle? It was somewhat of a headache.
One had to know that both sides had suffered heavy losses. The Church of the God of Knowledge had lost all their Holy Sons and Holy Maidens, while the Church of the God of Aristocracy had lost three of their most loyal and reliable Legendary Masters, including even the Archbishop of the church.
Under such circumstances, even the gods would find it difficult to make them stop fighting.
After all … piety and fanaticism were two different things. No matter how devout a believer was, they had their own interests and their own feelings. Especially for the higher-ups of these churches, even the gods could not completely ignore their thoughts.
Perhaps the God of Aristocracy could, but Wall really could not do such a thing.
Everyone discussed for a long time, and finally accepted Sui Xiong's suggestion.
Let them continue fighting, and when they were exhausted, they would naturally stop.
This could not be considered a good idea, but in the current situation, it was the most reliable one.
As for the problem of preaching, since the higher-ups of both churches were still fighting, then they should continue preaching.
"It always feels as if we have done nothing …" Wall said in distress.
"Doing nothing and making things develop in a good direction, this is what it means to be capable!" Sui Xiong laughed.
