The situation in the material world had fallen into an awkward situation.
According to past practice, when the first batch of gods appeared in the material world, the gods would start a civil war. They would start fighting for faith, and many battles would break out in the material world.
However, this was not the case now.
The reason was simple.
Before this, the God of Death had promised that the pioneers would not oppress those who came after them, and that he would ensure that everyone would advance.
Now that the enemies from the Magus World had retreated, the God of Death had saved the gods and protected the material world. He was now the leader of the gods.
However, if he was unable to fulfill the conditions he had promised and allowed the gods to fight in the material world, then the prestige he had built up with so much difficulty would go down the drain.
No matter how he looked at it, he could not allow the gods to start a war in the World of Gods. He had to stop it.
However, if he wanted to stop this matter, he definitely couldn't just use force to suppress it.
Using force to suppress the pioneers would be effective for a while, but there would be repercussions in the long run, and it would be detrimental to the God of Death himself.
Hence, he would not make this choice unless he had no other choice.
Thus, how to mediate the conflicts between the various factions, and how to reduce the intensity of the conflict between the pioneers and those who came after them, was the first problem the God of Death faced. It was also the first challenge he had to face if he wanted to become the king of the gods.
However, the God of Death was already prepared for this.
In the Material World, the God of Death led the awakened gods and began to develop on a large scale.
The conflicts in the World of Gods began with the struggle for faith.
The number of worshippers in the material world was limited. If you had more, I would have less.
It was for this reason that the relationship between the gods wasn't harmonious. They were competitors.
If he wanted the gods to stop fighting, he had to satisfy their need for faith so that they had enough worshippers.
In the God of Death's eyes, this was not a difficult problem.
He just had to make the cake bigger.
If he wanted to satisfy the gods' basic need for faith, it was not enough to rely on the worshippers in the material world.
However, since this was the case, he just had to increase the number of worshippers in the material world.
The land in the Physical World was extremely vast. Even though it had existed for such a long time, there was still a lot of land that had not been occupied by humans. In other words, despite the existence of living beings, the efficiency of utilization was not very high.
Past experience had taught the God of Death that the same piece of land could accommodate different populations.
In primitive times, an extremely large amount of land might be needed to satisfy a tribe, but with the advancement and explosion of productivity, the production of a piece of land would increase, and the population that could be provided for would also continuously increase.
This trend of change was often the standard to judge whether a civilization was advanced or not.
Be that as it may, there were not many advanced civilizations in the physical realm due to the wars between the gods and other reasons brought about by faith. Instead, barren regions occupied the majority.
In the eyes of the God of Death, even in those areas with advanced civilizations, their productivity might not be that great. It could only be said that they were better than other places.
It was commonly known as f * cking rotten.
The existence of such a phenomenon was undoubtedly detrimental to the reproduction of the population.
Especially in some regions, there were even slavery systems, where people were openly sacrificed to the gods.
In the past, no one had thought of changing. It wasn't that no one had seen it, but that the gods had intertwined with each other and held each other back.
Those who wanted to change were powerless, while those who had the ability had already benefited from it. They had no motivation to change at all.
However, when it came to the God of Death, the situation was somewhat different.
The situation in the Physical World had already reached a point where it had to be changed.
Unless the God of Death was willing to go back on his word.
That was a possibility, but the God of Death would not do it unless it was absolutely necessary.
In response to the situation in the Physical World, the God of Death led the gods and began to actively take action.
In many ways, they began to change.
The gods personally intervened with the mortals, and the speed at which they changed was extremely fast.
Under the illumination of the gods' divine power, the entire Physical World began to slowly change. Ancient empires continued to collapse, and new empires were established and collapsed.
On the ground, all sorts of high-yielding crops were discovered and put to use, greatly reducing the pressure on the food supply. The population began to multiply.
At the same time, the development of wastelands also caused the population of the Physical World to increase.
The population of the entire Physical World had multiplied several times in just a few thousand years, and it was enough to satisfy the needs of the gods.
At this time, the God of Death also used his own prestige to start the second regular meeting of the gods.
The first regular meeting of the gods was when Adil and the other ancient wizards invaded the Physical World.
At that time, the gods were threatened by the wizards, so they all came to seek protection from the God of Death.
This time, the regular meeting of the gods was held again, and it relied on the God of Death's own prestige.
After thousands of years of hard work, the God of Death's prestige had increased. While the population of the Physical World was increasing, he had also gained control of many key authorities, and at the same time, gained more support from the Physical World.
It could be said that after thousands of years of hard work and preparation, the prestige of the God of Death was no less than that of the former Sun King.
Compared to the Sun King of the past, there was no existence in the current material world that could contend against him.
All the gods were new, and their strength was at a low point. When faced with the orders of the God of Death, they did not dare to disobey.
Faced with his summons, the gods did not hesitate and came one after another.
This time, under the witness of the gods, the God of Death established a few rules.
There were many contents, but the real key and specific, there were only two.
First, the believers of the gods were not allowed to carry out blood sacrifices, and any rituals and rituals that used intelligent creatures as sacrifices were not allowed. Violators would be labeled as evil gods, and the gods would fight against them together.
Second, the believers were allowed to worship more than one god, and their faith was no longer unique.
In the past, a person who worshipped the Sun King could not worship the Earth Goddess, but this situation had changed.
An ordinary mortal might not only believe in the God of Death, but he might also believe in other gods at the same time.
Faith was no longer unique.
This change did not seem very good, but in fact, it was also a way to liberate the believers.
Believers who could worship more than one god could not be a devout believer of one god. Even if they were not allowed to worship other gods at the same time, their faith in the original god might not be very devout, and the supply of the power of faith would not be much.
But if they were allowed to worship more than one god, then they could supply the power of faith to more gods at the same time, and invisibly increase the utilization of resources.
At the same time, this was also a way for the weak gods to survive.
Among the gods, there were strong and weak gods, and the authority they held was also different.
Many gods' priesthood and authority were too small, and they were destined to have few believers.
In the past, under the situation where one believer could only worship one god, the believers of such gods were destined to be very few, and they were simply unable to compete with the strong gods.
But if believers were allowed to worship more than one god at the same time, then the situation would undoubtedly be much better.
At least after the believers had more choices, the chances of these weak gods would also increase imperceptibly.
Apart from these two rules, there were actually many other minor rules, but only these two really affected the gods.
After reaching a consensus with the gods and formulating the Law of the Gods together, the God of Death's prestige increased imperceptibly.
The reason was very simple.
The power of law enforcement.
To seriously implement these two rules, there was naturally a need for surveillance and enforcers.
As the current leader of the gods and the initiator of the Meeting of the Gods, the God of Death automatically had these two rights, and naturally had a stronger deterrent effect on the other gods.
And this was also one of the reasons why the God of Death took the initiative to convene the Meeting of the Gods.
In the following days, the material world gradually fell into a state of peace.
The gods quietly began to recuperate in their respective regions, slowly recovering their strength.
However, to those existences below the level of the gods, the material world was extremely lively.
The rules formulated by the Meeting of the Gods had a certain restraining effect on the gods, but for those below the gods, the impact was even more terrifying.
In the material world, there were many legendary experts, and even some demigods, who had the habit of using their believers as blood sacrifices to obtain power.
This was one of the ways to obtain power. After all, demigods were not real gods, and the source of power was far from that widespread.
So in the material world, many demigods used blood sacrifices as their main method of obtaining power.
And now, when the rules of the Meeting of the Gods came out, many such existences were directly beaten into evil gods.
In the material world, the God of Death's priests continued to attack, killing such existences one by one.
If it was a demigod, there would even be artifacts, and even some gods' incarnations would personally attack them.
For a moment, these existences could be said to be incomparably miserable.
The severity of the attacks and the terrifying power was something that the evil existences had never imagined.
As such attacks continued, the atmosphere of the entire material world became much more peaceful in a short period of time.
And in this atmosphere, the God of Death also began to prepare new actions.
