After Lu Zhiyu completed his plan for the Astral World, he turned his attention to Maria's World again. Inside Maria's World, the original seeds of the gods had all ascended. They began to master the rules of the world, perfect the world system, and promote the perfection of the World Tree model.
"Eleven gods holding the divine thrones. It seems that the Astral World has become lively all of a sudden."
The gods holding the Star Kingdom made Maria's World feel as if the gods were competing for glory and illuminating the earth. The remaining divine thrones were very special, and it was more difficult to ascend to the divine thrones. Therefore, the seeds of the gods who had the ability to compete for the divine thrones didn't choose to do so. Lynn Ahenaten would rather compete with Felix for the divine thrones of the earth than choose the remaining divine thrones.
"Human civilization has reached a period of drastic change. Maybe a few new seeds of the gods with potential will be born."
Lu Zhiyu looked at the changes in Maria's World and pondered. There were seventeen Divine Thrones in total. As for the remaining six, Lu Zhiyu wanted to see if he could find a candidate who could become a True God in this new era.

The Kingdom of Hollyma was located in the south of the Alen Continent. It consisted of a dozen kingdoms, large and small. The belief of the Master of the Night had prevailed here for more than a hundred years. The Church of Light, which regarded itself as the center of the world, called it the Exotic Land. The conflict between the Church of Light and the Church of the Dark Night had also been going on for more than a hundred years.
There were frequent conflicts between the Kingdom of Rosa d 'Oro and the Hollyma Kingdom. From time to time, there were reports of combat airships of both sides fighting and chasing each other in the sky. Civilians of both countries often saw reports of border conflicts in the newspapers. The combat airships of the Hollyma Kingdom appeared in the sky above the Kingdom of Rosa d' Oro, and the Kingdom of Rosa d 'Oro shot down the commercial airships of the Hollyma Kingdom.
"They report these useless things all day. They won't actually fight. They just talk!"
"The fat nobles of the Hollyma Kingdom are a bunch of idiots. The royal family of the Kingdom of Rosa d 'Oro is also a coward."
Frank was sitting on the sofa in Alva's All-Purpose Store, reading the latest newspaper. From time to time, he would criticize the current politics of both sides. Frank was originally a history student at Hollyma Seminary. He had a handsome face and wore a pair of glasses. He always liked to talk nonsense in the college, expressing different opinions on current politics and history. However, since he made a public statement last month about the origin and identity of the Master of the Night, he was immediately expelled from the college.
Frank's teacher's evaluation of him was that he was an idealist with extraordinary talent and wisdom. It seemed like a compliment, but his classmates preferred to call him Frank the Visionary.
Alva was Frank's good friend. At this moment, he was mixing medicine in Alva's All-Purpose Store. He said angrily, "You seem to be holding my newspaper. You come here on time every day to freeload for food and read the newspaper. You're really carefree."
"Isn't it because there's nowhere to go? I don't have any money, so I can only come here! "
"I'm impressed that you can talk so boldly about freeloading in my place. Just give in and go back to the seminary to apologize. With your talent, it's very easy for you to become a clergyman. Maybe in a decade or so, you can even become an archbishop or something. You might even become the Pope of the Church of the Dark Night."
"I'm not going back!"
"Then go to other countries. The Church of Light, the Faith of the Sun, and the Temple of the Sky are not out of the question. Or you can follow the Lord of Storm and become an adventurer. I have a way to get you into the Church of the Goddess of Steam and Machinery."
"Ha! You want me to go back? I'm not going back to those vampires. Those guys only know how to make money, cheat, and do some dirty things. The priests of the Church of the Dark Night are a bunch of liars. They only know how to fool and deceive low-level civilians to satisfy their extravagant lifestyle. "
Alva was an alchemy warlock. Although he always called the name of the Goddess of Steam and Machinery, he was not a believer of the Goddess of Steam and Machinery. He was a well-known alchemy warlock in Biketo City, the capital of the Hollyma Kingdom. The name of his alchemy shop was also very arrogant. It was called Alva's All-Purpose Shop.
He was a pale, skinny young man of the same age as Frank. Both of them were geniuses with super high spiritual power. They were born with spiritual power that was far beyond that of ordinary people. However, geniuses seemed to have some quirks. They were antisocial and had all kinds of problems. The two eccentrics appreciated each other and got together.
Alva shrugged and said, "I think this era is not bad!"
Frank retorted, "That's for clergymen and extraordinaires. For civilians and ordinary people, this is the worst era."
Alva spoke his mind. "Isn't it normal for a minority to lead the majority?"
Frank slammed the newspaper and the table with resentment. "This is not an era where a minority leads the majority. This is an era where less than one percent of the people rule more than ninety-nine percent of the people. Look at the streets. The civilians have become the slaves of the clergymen. They are exploited and blood-sucked.
"To become an extraordinaire, one must enter the clergyman college under the banner of each church. To become an apprentice in an alchemy workshop, one must be a clergyman of the Goddess of Steam and Machinery. To become a noble or a king, one must be a god's chosen one. To control all kinds of alchemy tools, one must also be an extraordinaire or a clergyman.
"Driving steam locomotives requires clergymen. Flying airships requires clergymen. Maintaining alchemy tools requires clergymen. Managing water towers, alchemy gas lamps, and city systems requires clergymen. Adventurers who drive alchemy ships at sea require clergymen. Clergymen of the Goddess of Harvest require clergymen to ensure a bountiful harvest. Everything requires clergymen.
"Some idiots even say that mortals are useless. They have forgotten that their fathers were also mortals. They are just ordinary people who borrow the power of the gods.
"Look at the poor workers who work day and night in the slums. Look at the farmers who have a bountiful harvest but still have nothing. Look at the farmers who have a bountiful harvest but still have to sell their children. Look at the herders who can only freeze to death in a corner in winter. They can't survive, but they can't fight against the power of the clergymen and the powerful system of the gods. They can only die miserably without any way to complain or resist. This is a horrible and hopeless world.
"We are all a bunch of pigs in captivity."
Arlwa nodded. Even though he did not pay much attention to the outside world, he could feel the horror in Frank's words. "The more complete the divine system is, the less useful the clergy will be, and the less useful the commoners will be. They can only be exploited by the clergy."
Frank nodded seriously. "So, we need to change this era!"
Alva looked at Frank in shock. He put down the alchemy box he was fiddling with and said, "Change the era? How? "
"No way. Are you going to? Banish the high and mighty gods from the clouds? Make all the clergymen disappear? "Alva had never thought that his brother could be so brave.
Frank looked at Alva as if he was looking at a fool. "I may be an idealist, but I'm not a lunatic. Are you kidding me? I'm talking about finding the future that belongs to ordinary people and fighting for their interests, so that everyone can integrate into this era."
This is not just an era for the 1% of clergymen and gods. It should be an era for everyone, including the 99% of ordinary people! "
