Faith was poisonous.
But after studying it for so long, the gods had naturally found three ways to solve the problem of faith.
1. Reincarnation and rebirth.
2. Refine other natural gods into vessels to carry faith.
3. Strip away all the faith in the body, and when collecting it again, use the 'faith purification method' created by the gods.
Each of the three methods had its own advantages and disadvantages.
Reincarnation and rebirth went without saying.
The second method was too evil. Except for a few guys who planned to kill all the gods, no one would use this method.
Because the gods seemed to be individuals, but they could also be described as a whole. For example, Rogers's Divine Luck represented the luck of the gods.
If too many gods used the second method, the gods would never be able to rise.
As for the 'faith purification method', it seemed to have been created, so everything should be very simple.
But the real difficulty was to remove the faith that had been absorbed into the body and even integrated into the soul.
This was also the reason why the gods who had not reincarnated became autistic and strong.
They had to clean up the complicated faith and remove it from the Divine Spark during those long years.
From the end of the Mythological Era to the Fourth Era.
During these countless years, it was almost difficult for them to rest.
This also led to some gods who were not strong-willed enough to even die in their autistic nest.
However, what was certain was that even if all of their faith was removed, their strength would definitely decrease. However, over the countless years, Gods had also been cultivating. This ensured that even if their strength decreased greatly, they would not fall back to their original cultivation level.
Even because they could absorb faith when they were reborn, their combat power would rise step by step, and they would soon return to their peak state. In terms of training speed, they would also surpass the god reincarnated who had been training steadily.
Oh.
Speaking of which.
Back then, Odin had put a lot of effort into the 'faith purification method' and created the word 'data'.
As a result.
His Royal Highness also more or less understood some of the problems, which was that the God of Light and the God of Darkness had descended to the mortal world in advance, and it seemed that they wanted to chat with Odin.
Well, they just wanted to pat Odin on the shoulder and ask, "Old friend."
"Why didn't the rest of us lose much strength after removing the faith?"
"You're the only one who has lowered yourself to the Legendary-realm and started cultivating again?"
"Tell me clearly. Did you f * cking do something in the 'Faith Purification Method'?" Many deities wanted to pinch his neck.
…
There was less than half a month before the third wave of the Darkness invasion.
Many players were still engrossed in the Kingdom War, but the popularity of the Kingdom War had finally decreased. It wasn't like the previous month, where millions of super team battles broke out at sea.
It couldn't be helped. Battleships and equipment also cost money. After the initial enthusiasm of the players, they would calm down and not be so hot-blooded.
Now, it had basically turned into a battle for resource islands.
In order to avoid wasting warships, the players of the various continents basically moved the battlefield to the islands.
The naval battle was still erupting, but it was not as intense as before.
Nowadays, naval battles had a purpose. Basically, they were fighting to plunder resources and warships. It was no longer as meaningless as before.
In Version 5.0 of the Nation War.
The Chinese players of the City of Dawn in the Legendary continent were undoubtedly the victors.
They controlled a total of 65% of the resource islands in the eastern and southern seas.
Among them, the southern region's Central Archipelago Continent suffered the most. Japan, Korea, and India lost two of their Epic-ranked warships in the early stages of the Nation War. Moreover, because they were too arrogant in the first four versions, they were now being attacked by the players from the other island nations.
Not only could they not establish a foothold at sea, but many of their territories and resources had also been plundered. They were in a miserable state. Now, they were being beaten to the point of calling their fathers.
In addition, Old Orc had launched an all-out attack on the archipelago continent's players from behind. If not for the NPC forces participating in the battle, the archipelago continent's players would've been annihilated. It would've been a tragic end.
Things had come to this.
The opponents of the players of the City of Dawn were the Americans and Old Americans in the eastern seas.
William did not have the time to care about the players. He looked at the many acquaintances in the conference hall and said, "I didn't expect the status of the City of Dawn to be so high. Even the southern region forces have to gather here for a conference."
The southern region commander of the Brilliance Temple, Roland Fecker, looked at William and could not help but recall the first Darkness invasion. Back then, William had begged Roland to be his scapegoat and had given him a large amount of Life Potion.
Now, Roland had improved, but he was still at the peak of the Legendary stage. Now, he had to rely on Roland.
Sigh.
It was hard to explain.
The corners of his mouth twitched. Then, he smiled and said, "The City of Dawn has unparalleled combat power. His authority is limited in the Gods' continent. If the southern region forces want to hold a conference, it has to be held in the City of Dawn."
"Yes, yes, yes. Where is this? This is the southern region. If anyone dares to say that the City of Dawn can't protect the southern region, I, Roderick, will be the first to disagree." A tall fire Legendary professional stood up and looked at the people around him.
Who was Roderick?
William had used the blood essence of the Fire Dragon to befriend him. Now, he was the person in charge of the southern region Mercenary Guild.
The representatives of the Blackleaf Elves and the Lion Kingdom did not respond.
The person in charge of the Southern Region's Darkness Temple, Akkalos, also stood up and said, "The Southern Region's Southern Region's Dawn dominates. The Southern Region's Southern Region's Dawn is unparalleled. Whatever City Lord William says, the Southern Region's Palace of Darkness will do.
The representatives of the Blackleaf Elves, the Lion Kingdom, the Red Fire Kingdom, and the Winged Race were speechless.
MMP。
We thought that you might be a bootlicker.
But you also represent the top forces of the Legendary continent. Is it good to do this?
Not good.
But William's many secret deals had finally paid off.
Some of the people he had planted in the major forces not only became Legendary, but they also had a certain say. They could give him endless support in some small-scale conferences.
For example, the conference held by the southern region.
The City of Dawn was God.
He did not have to spoil anyone.
If he could choose the leader of the southern region martial arts circle, he would be the leader …
William gestured for the fans to calm down. Then he said in a deep voice, "Everyone knows the importance of the third wave of Darkness invasion. The scope, quantity, and quality of the third wave of Darkness invasion are far greater than the previous two waves of Darkness invasion."
"Let's put it this way. The Dark World's outpost is not for nothing. Basically, we can conclude that this Darkness invasion will continue forever!
"The purpose is to create enough chaos for the Gods to descend to the mortal world, so that they can take the opportunity to spread their faith.
"But this time, the Lord of Darkness will be mobilized. The king-level forces will be their targets."
As soon as he finished speaking.
The expressions of the remaining representatives of the Lion Kingdom and the Red Fire Kingdom changed drastically.
Brian Redfire, who had become a Legendary professional, immediately burst into tears. "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's me. I'm your follower when you were young. Do you still remember me? The Red Fire Kingdom needs the support of the City of Dawn …"
The Legendary representative of the Lion Kingdom blinked and looked around. He swallowed his saliva and was about to lick William's boots.
But William stretched out his hand to help Brian sit properly. Then, William said, "Of course, I know. But the City of Dawn's capabilities are limited. Even if we're childhood friends, we've grown up, haven't we?"
Brian Redfire secretly rolled his eyes and said in a slightly aggrieved tone, "Your Highness, don't worry. The Red Fire Kingdom will contribute 500,000 square kilometers of land, including six cities with a population of more than 500,000, several small towns, and dozens of mineral veins."
"No, what are you doing? Forget it, forget it." William shook his head and sighed. "Since you insist, the City of Dawn will do its best to help. Don't worry, brother."
The Lion Kingdom representative was shocked. Was Brian really the follower of the City of Dawn?
"Gosh, even a follower's price is so high?"
"But when the Lord of Darkness descends …"
"D * mn, let's go all out!"
The Legendary representative of the Lion Kingdom made up his mind and immediately said, "Your Highness, the Lion Kingdom and the City of Dawn are close friends. Various commercial transactions have been going on for decades. I've decided to contribute 600,000 square kilometers of land, including millions of people, seven cities, several small towns, and dozens of mineral veins."
William inhaled a breath of cold air. You're good.
I only wanted to ask for some money to hire you.
But now, you've started to give land, cities, and people?
Oh.
The Lord of Darkness.
The price of hiring a sage to fight against the Lord of Darkness was too high. It was far more cost-effective to give some land.
William gave him an admiring look, indicating his agreement.
The Blackleaf Elves and the Winged people were not interested in seeking protection.
The former did not have much to say.
The Lord of Darkness had taken root in the Blackleaf forest for tens of thousands of years. If the dark creatures rushed in, they would definitely die. If the Lord of Darkness dared to attack, the Dawn King would definitely not let him off.
What about the Winged people?
When the Lord of Darkness had descended, he had occupied the Black Lava Nation, Lan Yu Nation, and several other grand duchies. They had merged to form the Winged Nation. Usually, there was only one sage guarding the Winged Nation. During the war, seven or eight Holy Angels would appear.
As long as the Dark Faction was not idle, they would definitely not launch a large-scale attack on the Winged people's territory.
Hence.
William, who was the commander-in-chief of the southern region, said in a deep voice, "The Blackleaf Elves and the Winged people are more than capable of defending themselves. But you have to allocate a portion of your forces to protect the human grand duchies. If you can't defend them, you have to buy enough time to evacuate the humans."
The representatives of the Blackleaf and Winged people agreed.
Then he said, "The Palace of Darkness, the Temple of Light, and the Mercenary Guild do not have their own territories in the southern region. Send sufficient forces to the Red Fire Kingdom and the Lion Kingdom."
"As for us … we will defend the City of Dawn and do our best to support every piece of land in the southern region!"
