The Burning Flame Demon destroyed the Berserk Demon's demon fortress and smashed the Berserk Demon's head with a hammer. This meant that this land was now under the Burning Flame Demon's control.
The demons quickly expressed their loyalty. Demons were creatures that followed the masses, and their personalities determined that they would not have much loyalty to any lord. Even though the burning flame demon ruled them now, as long as the burning flame demon lost one day, they would also forget the burning flame demon at the fastest speed, just like how they had forgotten the berserk demon now!
However, the Burning Flame Demon didn't expect these demons to work for him. The invasion was only a small goal. To the Burning Flame Demon, the final reason he did all this was to provide more slaves for Order!
The power of the Tyrannical God could invade Order at any time. Gods were not fond of waiting, especially since Chen Feng had humiliated the Tyrannical God. As a god, the Tyrannical God would most definitely punish Chen Feng as soon as possible.
The demons loyal to the Burning Flame Demon didn't expect that their fates would suddenly change. The lucky ones might survive the battle, but most of the demons would become corpses.
Construction required enough demons, but flourishing times didn't. Even if a large number of demons survived the war, they would lose their lives in endless labor.
The Burning Flame Demon's actions attracted the attention of the surrounding demon lords. On one hand, it increased the Burning Flame Demon's reputation, and many demons pledged allegiance to him. On the other hand, it made many demon lords wary of this neighbor.
The wind was blowing and the clouds were surging.
In the dark Abyss, a conspiracy against the Burning Flame Demon was quietly being plotted.
… … …
The Tyrannical God had become Chen Feng's biggest worry. However, the growth of Order gave him enough confidence to deal with this disaster.
Everything continued quietly. However, Chen Feng was unable to pry into the thoughts of the gods. Even so, he had already made preparations. The moment he chased the army of the God of Tyranny out of his territory, he would enter the abyss and search for a higher realm.
As a god, Lorci wouldn't deliberately come to the human world to deceive him.
Just as Chen Feng's expression was tense, after Lorci, Order welcomed another mysterious visitor. Another god descended on this land.
Ilmater!
Compared to Lorci's ruthlessness and craftiness, Chen Feng found out after exploring the Abyss that this god belonged to the side of good.

Ilmater was a kind, gentle, quiet, and peaceful God, willing to bear the suffering of an entire world that was suffering. However, although the Weeping God's personality was very gentle, he would also show an extremely violent and cruel side when he was angry. Ilmater's's protection's protection, Flame Demon's heart, Ilmater
The Flame Demon's name's, Flame demon's, Flame Demon's, Flame Demon's body's body's. Although his thin and short body was only wrapped in a loincloth and he was slightly bald, there was always a gentle smile on his face that made people feel comfortable.
Although many people misunderstood the Weeping God's teachings (some even mocked them), Ilmater's church had many faithful followers in the whole Faerun Continent. In this cruel and realistic world, many sufferers, patients, and poor people relied on Ilmater's church to survive.
Many people respected the Weeping God's church, and the priests often received generous aid when they practiced medicine for free. Some people could not understand why there were people in this world who were willing to bear the torture, so they often misunderstood Ilmater's church. Those who looked down on the weak mostly thought that the Weeping God's followers were a group of weaklings without any schemes. However, it was obvious that these tyrants and scoundrels underestimated these kind followers.
From the information that Chen Feng had, it was not difficult to see that Ilmater was a god that many people thought was strange.
Ilmater's priests prayed in the morning to obtain divine power, but they would pray at least six times a day. The Weeping God's church did not have a holy day, but occasionally a priest would ask the god for a rest, so that the priest could rest for ten days and temporarily put down his oath to the Weeping God. This was to prevent the priest from becoming tired of faith, or to allow the priest to carry out actions that were not approved by Ilmater.
Every priest of Ilmater would try their best to persuade the dying to accept Ilmater's beliefs, so that they could receive the Weeping God's blessings before they breathed their last (this kind of dying prayer would not convert the dying to Ilmater). As the belief in the Weeping God increased year by year (even if it was before death), the healing power of the Weeping God also became stronger. Many of the Weeping God's priests would learn to concoct potions, so that they would not be in a predicament where they could not provide medical care when someone needed it.
Of course, not all of Ilmater's believers were civil servants. Among the believers who believed in Ilmater, the strongest group was known as the Broken Ones.
They were a fighting group that believed in the Weeping God. Apart from the monks, there were also many Fist Masters. The members of the group were responsible for protecting all the followers and the shrine, and were also responsible for punishing those who cruelly harmed others. Some of the monks could be priests, and they could also advance into Secret Art Believer, Saint Seiya, Divine Power Believer, Divine Power Seeker, and Holy Disciple. They would not be punished by leaving their profession.
There were quite a number of monks in the Abyss, but there were even some masters of fist techniques in the list of people who were loyal to Ilmate. This was an extremely surprising thing. After all, compared to monks, the number of masters of fist techniques was undoubtedly much lower.
The reason why Ilmater could find Chen Feng, from a certain point of view, was because of Phra!
Don't think that the existence of good order would not set foot in the Abyss. Even if the Abyss was filled with darkness, there were also countless levels of creatures gathered in the Abyss. They communicated, traded, and tried to obtain more power. This power was seen as capital for slaughter by the demons, but for the warriors of good order, power was to protect the weak.
Ilmater did not stop his subordinates from moving around in the Abyss. Therefore, he could often see some strange-looking monks or Fist Masters walking around the trading markets of some levels.
Ilmater would also often transform into some distressed injured people and wander around many levels, trying to rescue those who were exiled by the Abyss.
In the eyes of Ilmater, he could even treat all demons as equals. This showed how much the light of kindness on his body had risen to!
Ilmater happened to pass by the fortress where Phra was. He originally only wanted to check on this newly rising faction, but when he met her, he discovered that Phra was a Fist Master. This made Ilmater curious. However, a Fist Master was not enough to make Ilmater lose his composure like before. The reason why he chose to stay was because he saw the orderly movements in the fortress and the Abyss residents who were in good spirits.
The Abyss was a complicated and barren land. In this land, most demons fed on their own kind.
But even so, Ilmater did not discriminate against these ugly demons. Instead, he gave them some help.
That was because this was inseparable from Ilmater's teachings.
Teachings:
Help all the injured in the world, and bear the suffering of others is the most sacred action. If you suffer for others, Ilmater will provide you with the courage and strength to endure. No matter what kind of pain or danger you face, you must adhere to the right principles without wavering. Dying for the right beliefs is an honorable thing. You should stand up against tyrants and stop all unjust atrocities. You should focus on the improvement of your soul, and not be obsessed with the feeling of your physical body.
Priests and temples:
The priests of Ilmater share all that they have with all that is needy, soothe the sorrows of the despondent, and tend to the wounds of the wounded; they stand up for the oppressed, show the way to the lost, relieve and shelter the hungry and the vagabond, and gather herbs to make antidotes to disease.
Apart from that, they would also bury nameless corpses, treat the sick for free, and give food, water, and firewood to the poor. Although they believed that life was sacred, and that suffering was a good and holy deed, they would not force others to accept their beliefs, nor would they condemn others for their beliefs.
Whenever a war was about to break out, Ilmater's priests would do their best to prepare stretchers, shovels, gauze, tents, splints, bandages, all kinds of herbs, and medicine to help those who were killed or injured because of the war. They would also go to the rich countries and cities of Faerun to raise funds to reduce the financial burden of the church.
The temples of Ilmater were usually located in the countryside, close to the main trade routes, so that tired travelers could rest there. Most of the temples were named after the saints of the church (the Church of the Weeping God canonized many of its venerable followers as saints). Many of the temples were farms with chapels, stables, and vegetable gardens, surrounded by protective walls. All the temples would do their best to help and care for the sick and injured. The larger temples would also have libraries, training grounds for the monks, or barracks for the Weeping God's Knights.
Ilmater's priests usually wore thick gray robes and trousers, or gray robes. They also wore gray (for ordinary priests) or red (for high-ranking priests) skullcaps (similar to the hats worn by Jews during prayer), although unrecognized trainee priests would not wear skullcaps. The priests wore the holy emblem of Ilmater in their hearts (or wore a necklace around their necks). Some high-ranking priests even had a tattoo of a gray teardrop on their face (under their left or right eye).
… … …
Originally, Ilmater was only going to spend a few days in the fortress ruled by Phra, but as time passed, he discovered many creatures that were different from demons (researchers sent by the Order). Apart from these people, what surprised Ilmater the most was that there was a lot of food growing in the large open space!
The food had never appeared in the Abyss, but the production was surprisingly large. This made Ilmater, who had many layers of thoughts, curious, so he finally appeared in front of Phra.
No existence dared to go against the gods. Even though Phra had Chen Feng behind her, she still showed some nervousness when facing the gods. After all, she was no longer alone, and the baby in her belly had become a treasure that she could not part with.
After a period of conversation, the baby in Phra's belly finally received Ilmater's blessing, and the meeting came to an end.
Ilmater finally obtained the information he wanted. The food was called potatoes and corn!
Compared to the food of the human world, the soil and environment of the Abyss were not suitable for growing food. However, the scientists from the Order broke through this situation and used their wisdom and hands to plant seeds in the soil of the Abyss. Relying on the vast land, Phra's demon fortress not only satisfied the needs of all the warriors, but also engaged in foreign trade. They sold food to the surrounding neighbors and even demons in more distant regions!
The creatures in the Abyss were also flesh and blood, not made of steel, so they also needed to eat. However, there were too many demons in the Abyss, and the so-called worms could not satisfy tens of thousands of demons. Therefore, some unspoken rules occurred in the demon army, and that was, the weak would be devoured by the strong.
It was because of this that the demon army had always been on the verge of collapse. That was because in unknown corners, countless demons gathered together, killing and devouring each other for the simplest reason, and that was to fill their stomachs.
And now, with Phra providing large amounts of food to her subordinates, the spirits of the demons had reached a new height. This was also a topic that Phra and some of the wise men of Order had researched.
When the demons were full, would they enter a stable state? And from the current research, it seemed that food and clothing did indeed alleviate some of the madness of the demons.
Food was an extremely important existence in any dimension. As the side of the Good Faction, Ilmater had been working hard for countless years to improve the lives of the poor. And now, a turning point to alleviate hunger had appeared, so Ilmater naturally would not give up on this rare opportunity.
Therefore, on a peaceful day, a giant from the Abyss came to Chen Feng's room.
Seeing the sudden flash of divinity, Chen Feng's nerves immediately tensed up. Just as he was about to summon all of his forces, including the Withered, he suddenly realized that the visitor was not the God of Tyranny, but a god with an extremely unfamiliar aura.
Ilmater had been born for countless centuries. Although he was amiable, it could not change the fact that he was a god.
Ilmater did not waste any time. He quickly stated the ultimate purpose of his visit, and that was, he wanted to make a deal with Chen Feng!
