Following the loud sound, the black-armored soldiers massacring the villagers in the surroundings stopped and turned around to look at Chen Xiu standing motionless under the enormous tree with suspicion on their faces.
The gazes of the soldiers shifted from Chen Xiu to Li Yunmu, and a hint of vigilance appeared on their faces.
A white shadow shuttled through the soldiers, and in a breath's time, all of them exploded, turning into chunks of flesh that fell to the ground while emitting green smoke.
Brunhilda arrived at Li Yunmu's side and said in a calm voice, "These are all people of Asura City. Apart from the initial stage sage flux expert who was knocked unconscious by you, the rest are flux experts."
Li Yunmu looked at Chen Xiu lying under the enormous tree with a pensive expression and mumbled to himself, "In other words, they are all mortals."
In the five regions of the Origin World, apart from gods, there were only mortals. Mortals lived in peace and contentment under the control of gods, which had never changed since ancient times. Even if a war broke out between domains, the people involved would only be great circle sage flux experts.
In a war between gods, mortals didn't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder.
Because of that, the mortals of the five regions could live in peace and contentment.
In Lanlou, where power of belief was the main source of power, the gods protected the mortals even more. It wasn't because of the pity of the gods, but because of the power of belief produced in the hearts of mortals.
The seven ancient gods divided Lanlou into seven cities, and the villages and towns under the control of the seven great cities were divided according to the ratio of seven people, no more and no less. Because of that, the strength of the seven ancient gods was on the same level.
Right then, the people of Ancient God Asura had disguised themselves as soldiers of Lakshmi City and attacked the villages under Lakshmi City. What exactly was the reason for that?
[For power of belief,] the system said in Li Yunmu's mind like a ghost.
[It's the same as the war between gods. In order to obtain more power of belief, they attacked mortals.]
Li Yunmu thought about it and made a rough guess. "If they attacked ancient gods for power of belief, why did they attack mortals?"
"The power of faith can only be produced if mortals show respect to it. If a war were to break out between the Ancient Gods, the people's hearts would be filled with resentment, and the power of faith produced would be impure and impure. The best way is to make the mortals feel that the Ancient Gods they worship have abandoned them, causing them to feel fear and despair. When the time comes, they will turn to other Ancient Gods, and the power of faith produced will be the purest. "
"So, after the ancient gods of Lanlou experienced defeat, they started to fight for the Power of Faith?"
The system laughed and said with a hint of contempt, "Of course. Under normal circumstances, the division of Lanlou and the power of faith was rather fair, and the strength of the seven ancient gods was equally matched. At that time, none of the ancient gods dared to fight for belief behind their backs. After all, they're in the same region. An Ancient God can easily find out. "
"If any Ancient God dares to secretly compete for faith power, they will be punished if they are discovered. The other six Ancient Gods would not allow the Ancient God who violated the rules to live. Therefore, the seven Ancient Gods had always maintained a balance. Because of this, the seven ancient gods had joined forces with Zeus to attack the Land of Ice in order to break through. As long as they could obtain another region, the seven Ancient Gods would advance a step further and might even reach the level of master god. "
The position of master god.
Li Yunmu's heart tightened. When he looked at the messy village, he seemed to realize something. He sincerely admired the courage of the seven Ancient Gods. If he hadn't intervened at that time, Zeus and the seven Ancient Gods would have joined hands to capture the Land of Ice, and the two powers would have divided the region.
The Land of Ice and the Yellow Sea.
Regardless of which region was divided among the seven Ancient Gods, the seven Ancient Gods would advance a step further by relying on the increased power of belief. Even if they couldn't reach the realm of master god, their strength would still increase.
At that time, they would launch a war to take down the Ancient Lands, and in the end, they would even annex the Oceanic Land and the Land of Ice. The power of belief in the five regions would be enough for the seven Ancient Gods to enter the realm of master gods, and the seven Ancient Gods would even contend against each other.
The last surviving Ancient God would possess the power of belief in the five regions, and it wouldn't be impossible for him to become a True God.
After thinking about it, Li Yunmu's thoughts became clear. If the battle of gods had proceeded smoothly, Lanlou and Ocean would have joined hands to fight over the Land of Ice and the Yellow Sea, and things would have gone as he had imagined.
But because of his existence, the battle of gods had failed.
After the seven Ancient Gods returned to Lanlou with serious injuries, some of the Ancient Gods who weren't heavily injured began to secretly fight over mortals to obtain more power of belief.
If Li Yunmu hadn't wanted to break the curse of the Dragon Ladies, he wouldn't have come to Lanlou. If he hadn't come to Lanlou, he wouldn't have discovered that the seven Ancient Gods had begun to fight over the power of belief.
If this continued, there would only be one Ancient God left among the seven Ancient Gods, who would possess the power of belief of a region and become a master god. After becoming a master god, he would attack other regions and become the only True God in a short time.
At that time, let alone Li Yunmu, even if the system, the True God, returned, it wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat the Ancient God.
That was why it was said that balance was a good thing. Once some people or things lost their balance, unexpected things would happen.
Li Yunmu walked under the enormous tree and grabbed the unconscious Chen Xiu in his hand. He used a wisp of divine power to block the meridians in his body. If he couldn't open them, Chen Xiu would only be a slightly stronger mortal and nothing more.
The villagers who had previously run into the forest were standing under the enormous trees. They stuck their heads out and looked at Li Yunmu and Brunhilda with innocent eyes.
After a long while, a group of villagers under the leadership of the village chief slowly walked out. They stood in front of Li Yunmu and Brunhilda and slowly knelt on the ground, kowtowing a few times.
The village chief stood up with tears streaming down his dry face. "Benefactor, many thanks to benefactor," he said in a mournful voice.
When the villagers behind him saw their homes destroyed and their relatives slaughtered, they couldn't stop their tears from flowing down. The sound of crying drowned out the cries of the insects and birds in the forest.
After a long while, the villagers stood up one after another and began to clean up the mess. The villagers with robust bodies arranged the corpses in rows on the ground. Some women and children cleaned up the flesh on the ground, then ran into the wooden houses and took out sackcloth to cover the corpses.
