Having watched everything that happened in Mephistopheles's manor from his divine kingdom, Xi Wei had a certain level of understanding of the current situation.
First of all, the situation wasn't as bad as he thought at first.
While the Valla Empire had definitely sensed the existence of the Church of Games, they didn't know much about the nature of that church.
It made sense when he thought about it. Even if the Valla Empire had informants all over the country, their impression of the Players would only be that they were 'very powerful' or 'not right in the head', with the latter far outweighing the former …
When he thought about the series of comical actions of the Players, the reports placed on the desk of the informants would have a rather bizarre style.
Those people would probably believe that the reports were being interfered with by some aspect, and hence deliberately fabricated facts to hide the real situation.
That was probably why the new emperor of the Valla Empire made a misjudgment, and allowed his own minister of intelligence to kidnap someone in an attempt to obtain more precise information.
It was a shame that they would never have imagined —
The believers of the God of Games were really a bunch of clowns!
The Players' actions would probably throw the Valla Empire's informants into chaos for a while.
That was what Xi Wei thought.
He had also tried to use his divine eye to spy on the new emperor of Valla.
Normally speaking, Xi Wei would need a 5G signal base with the Players if he wanted to spy on the mortal realm.
However, after he digested the divinity shards of other gods and improved his ability by leaps and bounds, his ability to spy on the mortal realm was relaxed to a certain extent. Even without the Players as a signal base, he could see what was happening at a specific location as long as he was willing to waste enough divine power to kill Marni fifty times over.
Having recently obtained part of the Lord of the Peaks' divine power, Xi Wei naturally tried to do that since he felt that he was rich, but he didn't manage to spy on the new emperor of Valla.
It wasn't that the Lord of the Peaks' divine power wasn't enough … fine, that was part of the reason, but the main reason was that another god had intervened!
When Xi Wei tried to spy on the new emperor, he could clearly feel that his vision was blocked by shadows.
It seems that the new emperor of Valla was a potential heretic believer, and perhaps worshipped some unknown god of the Shadow pantheon.
Now, the truth behind the Nightwalkers, the intelligence and assassination organization that he had established, had so many shadow creatures and corresponding shadow materials to craft equipment.
"I don't have any impression of the Shadow Pantheon … There doesn't seem to be much information about them in the Divine Records. Are those Shadow Pantheons really that mysterious?"
However, he realized that he didn't have any memories of the Shadow Pantheon. The knowledge recorded in the divinity also mentioned that the pantheon was rather low-key and rarely showed its face.
But now, it seemed that they could no longer hold back and wanted to show themselves in the mortal realm, interfering in the war for faith. It was unknown if they were preparing for the divine war or simply trying to stir up trouble.
Xi Wei tried to come up with some devious ideas, but in the end he still had some misgivings and didn't really dare to take advantage of them …
After all, even if he couldn't learn the name of the other party's deity, the Authority of 'Shadow' sounded rather bizarre, not to mention that before Xi Wei transmigrated, the words' Darkness' and 'Shadow' sounded like Big Bosses.
After much consideration, Xi Wei decided not to provoke her for now.
Either way, he would let the Players investigate first. After all, he had the Sky Horizon as an escape route.
Even if the Shadow Pantheon really did interfere with the Valla Empire, he could make countermeasures if he knew about it.
At that very thought, Xi Wei turned his gaze to the other side.
Zonyan was trying to conquer other nonhumans at the Western Continent, so that he could form an army and fight his brother Swordtail?
So that the nonhumans could return to the right path …
To Xi Wei, Zonyan's operation was a great chance to expand the Church of Games' territory.
That way?
Even if the Sky Horizon was overturned due to some unstoppable force, the Players would at least have time and place to recuperate.
So far?
Zonyan was doing well.
At first, Xi Wei had assumed that he was a radical since he had suffered a great loss here.
It was normal for him to appear impatient because of his desire for revenge.
But the truth was that Zonyan was very calm?
He wasn't impatient or rashly starting a fight?
Even as he was wary of the Grayclaw Tribe?
He had kept having the Players lead the Long Ears to seek alliances with other herbivorous nonhumans in secret, gathering every tiny bit of power.
Be that as it may, the Grayclaw Tribe had already noticed the Players' presence and actions, and had attempted to ambush and assassinate the Players who contacted other nonhumans.
What if the Players were normal humans?
That would be quite serious since the nonhumans were physically stronger than normal humans, and they wouldn't be able to escape even if they were ambushed.
Indeed, if they were normal humans …
But the Players were not normal humans. In terms of average ability, no church could compare to the Church of Games, where they could immediately learn various skills as long as they became Shallow Believers …
That was why the carnivorous nonhumans who were sent to ambush the Players were easily instakilled by the Players without even leaving a corpse behind. At once, the Grayclaw Tribe's allies who weren't that staunch in the first place were torn apart by that incident, and they were afraid that they would be the next ones to be sent to their deaths.
Just as Xi Wei was excitedly watching as Zonyan and the others plotted ceaselessly, forming alliances with other nonhuman tribes and persuading chieftain after chieftain to join their faction, a resounding shout suddenly resounded in his divine kingdom.
"Unknown deity, your believers have disturbed me. Sothor, God of Sky and Thunder! Send them away from the Kingdom of Thunder as soon as possible!"
It wasn't that someone was blocking the door, but that the deity named Sothor was using one of Xi Wei's believers as a medium to shout.
Ji Si was almost turned into a slime by the other party's roar.
It would have been fine if he had been mentally prepared since he wouldn't even flinch from the Earthweaver. But now, it was too sudden for the deity to shout right beside his ear …
Perhaps there were others who had similar experiences. When they watched horror movies, the predictable development of the plot wasn't scary at all, but the sudden appearance of a ghostly face on the screen was more frightening.
It was the same for Xi Wei now, and he almost shouted back by reflex.
Still, he restrained himself in the end.
It was for no other reason than that Sothor, God of Sky and Thunder was one of the Seven Divine Fathers, and Xi Wei didn't have the ability to challenge him at the moment.
"By the way, didn't Sothor not care much about matters in the mortal realm? He's not a typical deity of faith and doesn't seem to care much about his own church, so why did he suddenly shout at me just now?"
He untied the tentacles that he had tied into a butterfly knot by instinct, and the ball wobbled as it floated to the Pantheon Brain to investigate what was going on.
In the end, after a while, he really did find something strange —
