The first was the original function of the divine weapon, and the second was the repair function. Furthermore, it had been strengthened, allowing one to directly interfere with any part of the main material plane, including the ability to change the climate. It was rather magical.
However, the most powerful was the third point. Through this divine weapon, he could cover the Shadow Weave in the main material plane, directly overlapping with the Weave controlled by the God of Magic. In the future, the Shadow Weave could also be used in the main material plane. This was something that the God of Magic would definitely not allow. It could be foreseen that in a few years, the God of Magic would start a war with the Darkness God System.
It was worth mentioning that this function could only be detected by the God of Magic and the three greater gods. The other true gods were unable to detect it.
These three points were only temporary functions of the divine weapon. As his strength increased, the power of the divine weapon would also increase.
However, no matter what, this divine weapon was only a support-type divine weapon. It could not directly increase his battle prowess, so he would need to forge another battle-type divine weapon in the future.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed at the Weave planet, and the divine weapon that was overflowing with golden light quickly flew towards him. It disappeared in a flash in his right palm, and then a small image of the Weave planet appeared on the back of his hand. If one did not look carefully, they would not have noticed it.
He stretched out his palm again, and a ray of golden light flew out from the back of his hand, turning into a pure golden ball of light that floated in front of him and rotated slowly. He stretched out his hand, and the dense runes on the surface of the ball of light spread out, quickly transforming into a huge virtual topographic map of the main material plane.
In the middle was a very large main continent, surrounded by an endless ocean. There were islands of various sizes scattered all over it, the largest of which had an area of several million square kilometres.
Through the virtual map, one could see that in the easternmost part of the main continent, there was a subcontinent that was only about one-fifth of the main continent's area.
That continent was filled with poisonous insects and fog, and was not suitable for the many intelligent creatures of the main plane to live in. There were only a few barbaric races scattered around the edges of the island that had a certain resistance to poison. No true god was interested in developing their faith there.
Lin Xiao's gaze quickly retracted from the main continent, which was larger than the entire Earth. He stretched out his golden finger and gently pointed at the main continent. The map in front of him quickly zoomed in, and the area that he had pointed at appeared in front of him.
This scene reminded Lin Xiao of a high-precision satellite monitoring planet. It could accurately locate any location on the planet, and the error was no more than a centimeter.
This divine artifact of his had the ability to pinpoint any location in the prime material plane. More importantly, this pinpointing function was achieved through the Shadow Weave that covered the prime material plane. In theory, any location covered by the Shadow Weave could be observed.
In other words, as long as the camera was close enough, he would be able to observe the situation inside even if it was a thick castle. It was very powerful.
His gaze swept across the Prime Material Plane along with the fast-moving camera, and the scenes quickly flashed by.
Mountains, rivers, forests, castles, farmlands …
A group of knights wearing thick armor and riding warhorses charged towards a group of peasants wearing linen clothes and holding pitchforks. A cruel massacre was unfolding before his eyes.
When these farmers were about to be killed, chaotic shouts came from afar. More farmers rushed over with pitchforks and wooden sticks.
"Peasant uprising?"
The camera had been moving for a long time, but this scene was still lingering in Lin Xiao's mind.
Compared to the peace in the region of faith that he managed, even the cave dwellers lived without worry. The humans on the surface were still living in the Dark Ages of the Middle Ages. The nobles and churches were the rulers, and the serfs and slaves were the oppressors.
In the wild, foreign tribes and magical beasts were eyeing each other covetously. Ambitious people with ulterior motives started wars, and the otherworldly Descenders fought for faith. The entire world was in chaos.
"Hmm?"
The fast-moving camera stopped and quickly rewound to the sky above a city. Lin Xiao's gaze fell on the huge church in the middle of the city. It was a familiar emblem of the God of Magic. This region was under the jurisdiction of the God of Magic.
Although it was not the core of the God of Magic's faith, it was still a secondary region.
Due to the uniqueness of the God of Magic's clergy, its main believers were mages and warlocks. The number of believers was very small, but the quality was very high. Its faith was spread throughout the main material plane.
Because it controlled the magic network, its clergy was special, and its believers basically did not have any conflicts with other true gods. Most of the churches of the God of Magic were in the parishes of other gods. Its core parishes included an empire, five kingdoms, and more than ten duchies. The believers of the Underworld God System had to deal with the armies of this empire, five kingdoms, and more than ten duchies.
The Kingdom of the Crypt People had recently built a huge underground fortress and several secondary fortresses near the underground passage not far from the main parish of the Magic God System in the first layer of the Underdark, as well as a huge logistics area. Now, five million Subterrane Dwellers and more than one million Underground Race soldiers had gathered there.
There were countless experts from various races. There were more than twenty Legendary Experts, including eleven black dragons and six red dragons. All of them were found in various parts of the Dark Zone in the past two hundred years and were promised to sign the Dragon Alliance Treaty.
Among them, Lin Xiao paid the most attention to a group of over five hundred thousand cave giants and more than three hundred thousand shadow mages.
In order to accumulate more power, Lin Xiao relaxed the conditions for communicating with the Shadow Weave. He allowed the cave dwellers with a certain level of aptitude to communicate with the Shadow Weave and obtain the ability to cast various shadow spells.
Although the fifth generation cave dwellers had fused with a portion of the Mind Flayer's characteristics, their innate mental strength and mental strength were stronger than ordinary humans. However, this did not mean that they could become mages.
No matter where it was, mages were synonymous with wisdom. The key was to be smart. Just having excellent mental strength without high intelligence would not allow one to become a mage.
Moreover, when Lin Xiao had created the fifth generation cave dwellers, he had not thought of making them too abnormal. He had not greatly increased their intelligence.
Although their brain capacity and intelligence had increased with each genetic modification, without specialized modifications, this increase was limited. It was definitely not enough to make all the Subterrane Dwellers have high intelligence. Their average intelligence was lower than that of humans, but higher than that of the Beastmen.
Under such circumstances, it was rather difficult to become a wise mage. The entire cave dweller empire had a population of thirteen billion, and there were less than a million shadow mages. This was under the condition that the conditions were relaxed. If they were nurtured as true mages, they might not even be able to gather ten thousand.
However, even if the conditions were relaxed, these shadow mages could not compare to true mages. Their average combat strength was also lower.
However, this was not a problem for Lin Xiao. He did not need true mages at all. What he needed was a large army of mages. As long as they could form a large area of effect spell barrage to suppress the enemy, it would be enough.
Most of the time, the ground believers would start the war first. The gods rarely attacked each other's divine kingdoms.
It was not that there was a problem with the decapitation tactic. The main thing was that the gods hiding in their divine kingdoms were extremely difficult to kill. The main purpose of the mortal world believers was to defeat the enemy's mortal army and then destroy the enemy's faith. This would cause the enemy to lose their source of faith and become weak.
It should be known that maintaining a divine kingdom required divine power. Most of the true gods had the habit of storing divine power, but they could not store too much of it.
In a god's war, if the enemy's source of divine power was cut off, they could only rely on the accumulated divine power to maintain it. As time passed, the divine kingdom's power would decrease until the supply of divine power was completely cut off. Then, the divine kingdom would slowly collapse, and the divine personality would become weak.
In theory, if this continued, a great divine power could be weakened to a demigod.
The Darkness God System and the Magic God System were both extremely powerful god systems. They both had huge divine kingdoms and large areas of faith that were enough to maintain their divine kingdoms. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to break through each other's divine kingdoms. Even if Lin Xiao really became a great divine power, he would not be able to do it.
The divine kingdom's boost to the true gods was very, very great. A great divine power's incarnation might be defeated if it entered the divine kingdom of a weak divine power, let alone the divine kingdom of a god system with a mid-level divine power.
Moreover, it was a mid-level divine power like the God of Magic.
Therefore, this war between mortals had to be fought, and they had to win.
It could be foreseen that this war could last for hundreds of years or even longer, so they had to be well prepared.
As early as hundreds of years ago, the Crypt People Empire had been preparing. They had stockpiled large amounts of food and elite troops. Now, with a population of 13.3 billion, the Crypt People Empire had nearly 50 million permanent regular troops and tens of millions of local troops. Every year, a large number of militias were trained or retired. When needed, they could pull out hundreds of millions of troops.
In addition, the underground races could pull out millions of troops. Their combined strength was definitely stronger than the God of Magic God System.
But this war for the priesthood was not just a war between the two god systems. There would definitely be a large number of true gods involved.
The God of Magic was a senior true god who had lived for tens of thousands of years. He had made a lot of friends over the years. There would definitely be a large number of true gods among the gods who would join in the war. At that time, he might have to face more true gods other than the God of Magic God System.
Obviously, this was very unfavorable for the Darkness God System. Lin Xiao needed to change this situation.
A few days later, a golden light left the Darkness God Kingdom and entered the surface.
It came to the Pompeii Empire in the south of the main continent. This was the region where the God of Revenge believed in.
Through the information collected over the years, the God of Revenge was one of the strongest enemies of the God of Magic. His divinity was at level 12, which was also a mid-level divine power. More than 2,000 years ago, the God of Revenge and the God of Magic God System fought, and the God of Revenge took over two whole kingdoms.
If the God of Revenge had not decisively sided with the God of Chaos, who was one of the three great divine powers, he might not have been able to keep the last parish of the empire.
This was definitely a deep hatred. For the past 2,000 years, the God of Revenge had been finding trouble with the God of Magic, but without the support of the God of Chaos, he could not do anything to the God of Magic.
