The God of Knights’ divine power vanished as it died. Its followers who had been promoted to the legendary realm were taken back to their original level in less than half a minute, and the deceased oracles would never resurge again.
Comparatively, the orc oracles were less influenced and saw the deceased resurge again.
The two sides were therefore seeing a huge difference between each other, and without the help of the eight newborn knights of gods of virtue, the human side would probably be stressed and losing the fight.
Lefon had thought of organizing an onslaught straight away to defeat the opponent without waiting longer, yet before he had taken any action, the light with the full set of knowledge of priesthood and realms released by the Sun God had fallen on him and changed his mind.
Why would I bother with a human war, since I already have all this knowledge?
Thinking of this, he rushed back to the Endless Field of orc holy kingdom without delay.
Once he arrived at the Endless Field, still catching his breath, a silver light flashed and the Master of Order was right in front of him.
Lefon turned white with fear at seeing the Master of Order at this time, as he was carrying the secret of the Sun God. He doubted there was anything wrong with the material from the Sun God.
He saluted the Master while thinking quickly at the same time to come up with a possible excuse of explanation.
Unexpectedly, the Master of Order started without hearing any of his words.
“Don’t dispatch the oracle troops to slaughter earthly humans,” said the Master, “The gods’ war is over.”
Then it disappeared, leaving Lefon standing there with his head still down in a salute, confused.
He was surprised, for hadn’t expected the Master of Order to come for such a minor issue, but he had to obey and thus sent out the order immediately.
Knowing this order, the orc gods, though reluctant, dared not go against it—Lefon had stressed in the order that this had been required by His Majesty Master of Order and whoever violated would be expelled from the orc god system and end all relationships with the orc god system, and even the orc race.
All orc gods and oracles withdrew in a flash as lights in the sky, and soon, they were all back in the Endless Field.
At the same time, the Country of Light spread lights to take back the eight knights of Gods of Virtue and the surviving holy spirits, oracles, and followers of the God of Knights.
Such a world-shaking battle had been left so messy and scattered.
All the gods had left. All troops of oracles and followers had left. Nobody but earthly humans stood in the battlefield that had just been a living hell, confused and not knowing what to do.
The sky was still dusky. The sunshine had faded away, since the Sun God had been struck by the God of Light down to earth. When it had been killed by the God of Light, the Sun was nearly out of light. A few dim white lights were left so that the mortal world was not in complete darkness.
Near the old Cloud City were a crowd of gods, and the God of Fire Element stepped out from them.
“Congratulations to the God of Light on a full success!” it said politely, then asked cautiously, “Since your opponent is dead, are you appointing anyone to the position of Sun God?”
Considering that this might sound hurried, it added, “the mortal world gains most of its lights and heat from the sun. It will probably suffer without the sun for too long!”
The God of Light was not yet completely recovered. It frowned and didn’t say a word.
The Goddess of Twilight also came out from the crowd and said, “Your Highness God of Light, I would like to serve you as the Sun God for ten thousand years if you agree. I promise not to go against you in my time or be engaged in any plot or group that is against you.”
The God of Fire Element opened its eyes wide, not knowing what was better that it could offer.
After all it was a Great Divine Power—though a weak one compared to others—and it was well aware that the position of Sun God would help significantly promote its power so that it might even have a chance to proceed to the first class in the Pantheon temple. However, serving the God of Light for over ten thousand years and never going against it were high prices to pay.
The Goddess of Twilight didn’t have such concern, for it was just a god with low capacity. Being the new Sun God would help promote it as far as an advantaged one of the medium level or a disadvantaged one of the Great Divine Powers, but nothing more than that. In that case, it would still find it difficult to defeat the God of Protection or the God of Heroes of the human god system. That was why it had nothing to worry about or hesitate for.
The God of Light showed a faint smile. It thought for a while and was about to mobilize its energy to reply when the God of Eclipse was suddenly heard from the white mist, “Your Highness! I would join your holy pedigree and be your follower as long as you grant me this position!”
Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Twilight was shocked, frowning upon the indecent God of Eclipse.
The point was not to join the human god system, but to become a follower of the God of Light, because this was equivalent to selling out and being a slave to the God of Light!
Neither the God of Fire Element nor the Goddess of Twilight could make such a sacrifice. The two of them looked at each other and noticed similar misery in the other.
Yet the God of Light burst into laughter.
“Interesting!” it said, “But I am not sure if you’ve heard of the saying that genuine treasure should be held by people who have comparable powers and prestige, and those who do not deserve it cannot secure a treasure for long.”
It turned to the God of Eclipse in the white mist and said, “No offense, but considering your capacity, being the new Sun God would do you harm rather than good.”
The God of Eclipse was speechless. Of course, it knew it was merely with minor capacity and might not be able to absorb the power of the Sun God, but it was more likely to risk its current position. If its current position collapsed, and it died out consequently, its body would probably generate a new god that would be able to take on both positions of Sun God and God of Eclipse. However, why would it bother anyway?
It had been thinking about being part of the human god system, and even the God of Light’s follower, in the hope that the God of Light would help it with the position of Sun God. Since the God of Light had clearly rejected its suggestion and it had nothing but itself to offer, it didn’t reply anymore.
The God of Light’s words ignited hope in the God of Fire Element and the Goddess of Twilight again, both of them excited. However, before either of them said anything, the God of Light said, “As for the two of you, though you are indeed able to master the deity of the Sun God, I still wish to remind you that such critical power and position should not be assigned through private agreement, but with public acknowledgement.”
The God of Fire Element and the Goddess of Twilight were silent. Public acknowledgement? How could it be acknowledged by all? And how should others show their acknowledgement?
Right at this moment, the Master of Order waved its hand, bringing a red ball of light and a white one to all the gods in the Pantheon temple. In the red light ball was the figure of the God of Fire Element, while the figure of the Goddess of Twilight was in the white one.
“This sounds funny,” it said, “But let’s try. You can elect your preference for the position of the Sun God. Please inject your divine power into the light ball you choose.”
Looking at the two light balls in front of them, all the gods were deep in thought.
The God of Conspiracy murmured, “If the God of Fire Element took on the position of Sun God, would it disrupt balance among the four major elements?”
Though it had been speaking in a low voice, everyone heard what it had said, and loads of nature gods turned red instantly. Without further thinking, they all injected their divine powers into the white light ball. As they were doing so, lights rushed out one by one and gathered in the air above the Pantheon temple to become a giant mass of white light.
“Hey! Are you trying to make me lose?” The God of Fire Element was furious. It yelled, but it didn’t help at all, since the God of Conspiracy had gone already.
But the God of Conspiracy’s words had made sense. The four major elements had remained balance and a bit more strength for one of them would not break the balance. However, if the God of Fire Element became the new Sun God, things would be totally different. It would be the strongest among the four element gods, much higher than the other three.
It that case, the balance would be broken among the four major elements and a serious crisis would occur.
The crisis might not have caused much influence on the main plane, while it could have been deadly for some element-biased nature gods. This was why they had decided to vote for the Goddess of Twilight after hearing the God of Conspiracy’s words—to avoid the risk!
Moreover, many good gods also nodded at the God of Conspiracy’s assumption. Though it hadn’t said that the God of Fire Element’s assumption about the Sun God would certainly lead to a big crisis, it would still be better to avoid such potential risk.
Therefore, although feeling sorry for the God of Fire Element, they had no option.
The giant mass of white light was growing bigger and bigger above the Pantheon temple and gradually took up the majority of the space. The Goddess of Twilight smiled cheerfully, and the God of Fire Element looked more and more upset. Suddenly, Augmentin, the God of Strategy, stood up and asked the Goddess of Twilight, “May I confirm with you that will you still keep the promise you made to His Highness God of Light just now?”
The Goddess of Twilight didn’t expect this question. It hesitated a bit and then nodded, “Certainly, I will.”
“Then I cannot vote for you,” said Augmentin seriously, “The human god system is already strong, and it’s very likely for them to expand at a large scale after obtaining the power of the Sun God. Then our war god system must be the first one to take on the impact, so other god systems…Once the balance between elements is broken, crisis may come. Even though crisis mostly happens on the element plane, and its influence on other planes can be managed, the danger of an attack by the human god system would be impossible to resolve.”
Afterwards, it injected its divine powers into the red light ball, and a red light rushed through.
It shocked all the gods. All the master gods of all god systems were astonished.
Someone cried suddenly, “Your Highness Master of Order! I want to vote again! May I?”
The Master of Order waved its hand and loads of lights flew back from the giant white mass. The white mass immediately shrank and lost most of its light.
At the next moment, many red lights raised instead to form a big red mass.
The God of Knights’ divine power vanished as it died. Its followers who had been promoted to the legendary realm were taken back to their original level in less than half a minute, and the deceased oracles would never resurge again.
