《Today, I Become a God》 Chapter 1 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Roar! ! !¡± An angry roar broke the silence of the night, and the sleeping tribe instantly entered a state of battle. Dozens of rough orcs walked out of the shabby houses. They were tall, with two huge fangs protruding out of their huge jawbones. The huge battle axes in their hands were raised high up in the air, a terrifying roar came from their ferocious mouths. Their tribe had been invaded! A huge group of kobolds had barged into this place! This group of intruders was huge. They had sneaked into the tribe from different directions and attacked while the orcs were still sleeping. The population of this orc tribe was not large to begin with. Coupled with the sudden attack, the battle strength of the entire tribe had been reduced by more than half. At this moment, the orc tribe was actually unable to repel these weak and cunning kobolds. Facing the attacks from all directions, the orcs felt extremely helpless. Not only were the battle axes in their hands unable to accurately hit the enemies in front of them, they even continued to use up their strength as they swung them. As more and more orcs fell, the pressure brought by the kobolds became greater and greater. If this continued, it was likely that no one would be able to survive the night. However, at this tense moment of battle¡­ An incomparably dazzling light suddenly bloomed in the sky, illuminating the entire vast mountain range. It was an incomparably huge thunder snake that descended from the sky and landed near this tribe. In an instant, the terrifying sound of an explosion exploded in the ears of the surrounding creatures. They could even feel the tremors coming from the ground. Following that, a terrifying wave of air swept in all directions. A wave of power that caused one¡¯s heart to palpitate struck the hearts of the surrounding creatures. The kobolds, who felt fear, panicked. They no longer attacked, but quickly scattered in all directions. To them, surviving was more important than conquering the orc tribe. As for the orcs, they were left behind because of this. More than forty injured orcs gathered together. They looked at the flames behind the hill with turbid eyes, and their savage faces filled with reverence. Then, they walked towards that area. Perhaps other creatures were afraid of that ¡®existence¡¯, but to the orcs, that might be the ¡®salvation¡¯ that the gods had bestowed upon their tribes. ¡­ It was early in the morning. The gentle sunlight illuminated the dusky sky, and the roars of ferocious beasts could be heard from the forest. There were creatures of enormous size that had been lingering around this mountain range. The activity last night had aroused the curiosity of the powerful creatures. They came here to check out the situation. But in the end, they found nothing. At the same time, in a small tribe nearby, a few cardinals landed on the fallen wood. The houses in front of them had all been destroyed, and the ground was filled with the corpses of half-orcs and Kobolds. At this moment, they were being eaten by other creatures in the forest. After circling a few times with some nostalgia, the cardinals left this area. They soared high in the sky, passing through countless mountains, and finally rushed into a valley. The cardinals swooped down and landed on the shoulder of a strong orc. This group of remaining orcs left their original race and came to this new area. Although there were not many people left, they had a stronger will than before, because now they had faith! ¡°Roar!¡± The strongest orc in the tribe looked at the rising sun and shouted at the orcs who were cutting down the trees behind him. Soon, everyone came to his side. There were forty-three orcs in the tribe. At this moment, they walked into a simple temple that was more than ten meters tall. This was the temple that was built last night, and it was the only building that existed at the scene. As it was built in a hurry, there weren¡¯t many decorations in the temple. There was only an altar made of stone inside. In the center of the altar stood a stone pillar with a ball of burning flame at the top. Looking at the flame above, all the orcs prostrated themselves on the ground and prayed with pious expressions. That was the flame that the orcs had collected from the center of the exploding tree stump after the lightning fell last night. Although these orcs had never believed in anything, and they didn¡¯t know if this ball of fire was really a ¡®god¡¯, in their hearts, they stubbornly believed that this flame was the incarnation left behind by a god. And the tribe lived because of it, so naturally, they also had to believe in its name. ¡°Great god of thunder and flame, you are the controller of thunder and fire, and your power is endless.¡± ¡°May your divine fire never be extinguished.¡± ¡°Please protect us, the humble believers.¡± The orcs prostrated themselves on the ground and made the most pious prayer. Then, everyone retreated. They had just moved to this area. Now, they had to rebuild their tribe and enter an unfamiliar mountain range to hunt. When they all left, the flames in the temple suddenly flickered a few times. ¡­ ¡°Ding!¡± [ Believers detected. Conditions met. Divinity activated. ] [ Please confirm the temple as soon as possible and create your divine kingdom. ] [ Please understand the relevant information about the divine kingdom as soon as possible. ] In the quiet and simple temple, Lorne frowned, because a series of inexplicable voices were echoing in his ears. For a moment, Lorne¡¯s face became more serious. If he remembered correctly, he should be listening to a class in school, and then he saw everyone pass out. In the end, he was no exception. After that, Lorne lost consciousness. When he woke up, he found himself in a strange place. From the information on it, he seemed to have become a ¡®god¡¯, and the orcs just now were his believers¡­ ¡°I don¡¯t have a body?¡± Lorne looked at himself strangely, and he found that he did not have a real body. But he could use the god¡¯s perspective to see everything around him. He really looked like a god. Of course, since this place did not belong to him yet, Lorne could not see outside of the temple. Just as he was puzzled¡­ A pleasant notification sounded again. ¡°Ding!¡± [ Confirm the identity of the temple and use it to build the divine kingdom? ] Confirm the identity of the temple? Build the divine kingdom? Lorne retracted his thoughts and carefully checked the information over and over again. However, after he saw it clearly, he was not in a hurry to make a decision. After all, this place was too simple and crude. The tribe in front of him added up to less than 50 people. Moreover, these people were covered in injuries from yesterday¡¯s battle, and there were even a few orcs who were seriously injured. If he set this as a divine kingdom, wouldn¡¯t his divine kingdom be too weak? I should check the information about this world first Lorne put this choice aside for the time being. He focused his attention and opened his special interface. Here, he saw a series of information about ¡®god¡¯ and ¡®divine kingdom¡¯. Chapter 2 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°I¡¯m in big trouble.¡± After reading the information on the interface, Lorne felt that he was in a very bad situation. According to the information he had just received, Lorne had indeed become a god, and he was also the God of Thunder and Fire with great potential. However, the unfriendly thing was that the power of the god was directly related to his divine kingdom. Only when his divine kingdom became powerful could the god obtain enough power of faith, and then rely on the power of faith to increase his own divine power. In other words, the longer a god was born, the more powerful the god with a larger divine kingdom would be. And as a newly born god, Lorne¡¯s power was considered extremely weak among gods. More importantly¡­ There were countless gods in this world! From the scene where everyone fainted in school, Lorne could basically confirm that those students must have also come to this world and become newly born gods. Of course, they could also have become something else, or in another world. After all, even such a thing had happened, what else was impossible? But these were not things that needed to be considered now. The most important thing now was to build a divine kingdom. ¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over, it¡¯s really over now.¡± Lorne felt a headache. It was very difficult to change the ¡®assigned¡¯ tribe. If you really did not want to accept it, you could just directly reject it. However, after rejecting it, if you wanted to descend to this world again, you would have to wait for countless years. Only after all the new gods had been ¡®assigned¡¯ would there be your turn, if there were additional opportunities. According to the information on the rules, the waiting time was at least 3,000 years! Although the lifespan of a god was unlimited, during these 3,000 years of waiting, you would be alone and was unable to come into contact with any living beings. It was like being locked in a solitary room. As an ordinary college student, Lorne did not dare to imagine himself being alone for 3,000 years. Such a consequence made him give up on the idea of ¡®rejecting¡¯. ¡°Confirmed.¡± Lorne did not hesitate anymore. He chose to use this tribe as the foundation of the divine kingdom and confirmed his identity as the temple. When he confirmed, lightning and fire shaped runes began to appear on the pillars on the altar. Those were totems, representing Lorne¡¯s identity. ¡°Ding!¡± [ Divine Kingdom is born! ] [ Congratulations, you have obtained 10,000 points of initial power of faith. ] The Divine Kingdom was completed, and at the same time, some initial funds were obtained. The power of faith was the energy that the gods obtained from their believers. This energy could be used to exchange for materials and treasures to feed the believers in the Divine Kingdom. For example, if you needed to heal your believers¡¯ injuries, you could directly use the power of faith to heal them. Or, if you wanted to go to a faraway place, under the premise that there were map coordinates and teleportation arrays, the ¡®power of faith¡¯ was the energy that drove the magic array. Using the corresponding energy, you could go anywhere you wanted to go¡­ In short, the power of faith was the only fundamental power that gods could use in this world. Of course, this was not absolute. If you encountered another divine kingdom and had a life-and-death battle with other gods, then you could use divine power. Simply put, the divine power of a god could only be used on another god. This power could not interfere with the world of believers. Lorne was the god of thunder and fire. He could control thunder and fire, which were two divine power elements that dealt terrible damage. Therefore, in a battle of the same level, his chances of winning were very high. However, he had just been born, and the other gods had already long developed for unknown number of years. Therefore, he absolutely could not be arrogant because of this. He had to carefully look at the environment he was in. This was the way of survival. Speaking of which¡­ He had to mention the consequences of fighting. In this world, gods led their own divine kingdoms to wage war against the other divine kingdoms. If you killed the enemy god and annihilated or subdued his believers, then the god would die! However, if the god was killed by you and his believers won the battle of the divine kingdoms, then the god could be revived under the nourishment of the ¡®power of faith¡¯. On the other hand, if the kingdom failed, you would suffer a huge backlash because you no longer had believers, and your strength would plummet and you would re-enter the ranks of the ¡®born¡¯, which meant not only would you waste thousands of years, they might even enter a dangerous ¡®nascent phase¡¯. Therefore¡­ The Divine Kingdom was the foundation of god! Only when the kingdom was strong enough, would the god be stronger! Thinking of this, Lorne felt very uncomfortable. As in his divine kingdom, there were only 43 orcs, and most of them were injured. If they didn¡¯t receive treatment, there might be more orcs dying within these two days. This wasn¡¯t a scene Lorne wanted to see. ¡°I don¡¯t know how long this 10,000 power of faith can last.¡± Lorn muttered to himself. He had already planned to cure the orcs. There was nothing he could do about it. Now that the number of believers was so scarce, losing any one of them would be a huge loss for this newly born divine kingdom. Thinking of this, Lorne sighed heavily. Then he checked the function panel. [ identity information ] , [ warehouse ] , [ divine kingdom ] , [ race ] ¡­ There was also a very special option in the top right corner ¡ª [ world of gods ] . Lorne did not replace the current interface for the time being. He focused on his own identity information. The page suddenly changed, and a detailed identity illustration appeared in front of Lorne. ¡ª¡ª [ Name ] : Lorne [ Divine name ] : Celtic Tolomiphal Karo-chusto¡­ [ Divine duty ] : God of Thunder and Fire [ Divine rank ] : Ordinary God [ Divine weapon ] : None [ Divine power ] : 0 [ Power of faith ] : 10,000 [ Divine art ] : Thunder (LVL 1) , fire (LVL 1). ¡ª¡ª Other than the name of the information above, there didn¡¯t seem to be anything outstanding. Lorne was helpless. As a newly born god, he had expected this scene. But when he really saw it, he was still a little disappointed. Zero divine power proved that Lorne didn¡¯t have much power at the moment. Other than being born with the ability to control thunder and fire, he didn¡¯t know anything else. But Lorne wasn¡¯t too depressed. After all, he had gone from an ordinary college student to a free god, and he had an endless lifespan. This was already a great fortune. If he wanted to get more, he would have to rely on his own efforts in the future to become stronger step by step and truly develop the Divine Kingdom! Lorne closed the information panel and opened the [ warehouse ] . Oh, it was so clean. There was indeed nothing inside. He closed the page and opened the [ divine kingdom ] option. Chapter 3 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡ª¡ª [ Divine Kingdom ] : (unnamed) [ Level ] : Level 1 [ Area ] : 0.0001 square kilometers. [ Architecture ] : Temple 1. [ Population ] : 43 [ Affiliation ] : Celtic Tolomiphal Karo-chusto¡­ ¡­ ¡ª¡ª ¡°0.0001 square kilometers, this divine kingdom is really big¡­¡± Lorne was amused by the numbers in front of him. But he also understood it very well. After all, there was only one building in the current territory, and the orcs had yet to build other houses. If the calculation was based on building, this number was reasonable. Lorne casually glanced at it and then closed the page. His divine kingdom had just begun, and there wasn¡¯t any data worth paying attention to. Compared to this, Lorne cared more about the [ believers ] option at the end. He opened it directly. ¡ª [ Holy Spirit ] : 0 [ Saint ] : 0 [ Fanatic ] : 0 [ Devout believers ] : 28 [ True believers ] : 15 [ Shallow believers ] : 0 ¡ª [ race panel ] ¡ª¡ª There were only 43 believers in total, and there were 28 devout believers in it. The ratio was quite high. According to the relevant records, each devout believer could bring 5 faith power points to Lorne every day, while true believers could only bring 3 faith power points per day. The gap between the two was quite big. Therefore, having 28 devout believers in the group was indeed good news. There was also another good news. That was 10,000 faith points, which was actually quite a lot. Currently, Lorne had 43 believers, and they could bring him 185 faith points every day. It would take him about five days to accumulate close to 1,000 faith points. And to accumulate 10,000 faith points, he would have to wait for two months before he could get them. Therefore, the initial funding was not bad. At the very least, it would allow him to live through this ¡®birth period¡¯ where there was nothing. ¡°I hope it won¡¯t cost too much to heal the orcs¡­¡± Lorne smiled and then turned his gaze to the race option at the last. As there was only one type of believer, there was only one race panel. ¡ª¡ª [ Race ] : Monde Orc [ Level ] : Tier 1 [ Template ] : Normal [ Occupation ] : None [ Talent ] : Sturdy LVL 1, battle will LVL 1. [ Skills ] : Cleave LVL 1. [ Attributes ] : Strength 1.8, physique 1.8, agility 1.4, spirit 0.5. ¡ª¡ª Orcs were good at close combat and possessed a savage and fierce battle will. However, as one of the most numerous races in the world, the orc¡¯s attributes were naturally very low among the monsters. Especially their spirit, which was frighteningly low. No wonder there wasn¡¯t even a shaman who knew magic among this group of orcs. However, Lorne¡¯s mentality was still pretty good. He felt that the orcs¡¯ strength was commendable. At the very least, they were countless times stronger than ordinary humans in the 21st century. Lorne then began to look at the options at the top corner of the panel. ¡°The world of gods?¡± If one just looked at the name, it somehow seemed a little mysterious. Lorne did not think too much and chose to confirm. In the next moment, the scene in his eyes changed. When Lorne came back to his senses, he found that he had arrived in another world. This was a holy and incomparably huge city. And Lorne, who was standing here, actually had a real body, just like on the earth. But at the same time, he also lost his ¡®god¡¯s perspective¡¯, as if his ¡®god¡¯s¡¯ identity had disappeared here. Now, he was more like a human who had returned to the ¡®reality¡¯. Lorne was a little surprised by this change. But at this moment¡­ A very magical message appeared in his mind. That was all the information about this city, as well as the relevant rules and conditions. After a moment¡­ Lorne understood everything. So this was where the gods lived. And this city was called the City of Gods! This was a city so huge that one couldn¡¯t imagine it. Its area was limitless. In other words, it was a different universe. And trillions of gods would live in this city. Lorne, as a newly born god, was assigned to an independent castle when he first entered the city. That was his residence in the City of Gods. In this residence, you were the only master. No one could enter the castle without permission. At the same time, you could bring your believers here to serve you. However, none of them could leave the castle. Otherwise, the believers would be destroyed by the power of the City of God. This rule could only be broken when your believers also had the power of god. Another thing worth mentioning. The City of Gods was an absolute safe zone. Any god, no matter how powerful, had to abide by the rules here. So, in this place, you could freely enjoy life. Even if you met an antagonistic god, the other party would not be able to threaten your life. Of course, besides living, this city had other functions. The most important was trading. In the world of believers, all the special materials you obtained could be exchanged with other gods in this city. Unfortunately, Lorne was only a newly born god. He didn¡¯t have any materials that could be exchanged, and at the same time, he wasn¡¯t in the mood to enjoy life here. So after he finished reading all the information, he left this world. ¡­ ¡°Eh, why is it noon now?¡± Lorne, who had returned to the world of believers, was puzzled by the current time. He only found out after looking through the information. Actually the time flow in the City of Gods was different from this world. The time ratio between the two was about 1:24. In other words, if he stayed in the City of Gods for an hour, 24 hours would have passed in the world of believers. ¡°No wonder time passed by so quickly.¡± Lorne was not surprised. On the contrary, he understood. As the lifespan of a god was endless, the flow of time was not a problem for them. On the contrary, the flow of time in the world of believers was too slow, which would cause the gods to become irritated. Just like a farmer, while waiting for the harvest, he would always complain that the paddy in the field matured too slowly. However, Lorne did not dare to have such thoughts. Lorne felt that he was pressed for time. He needed to strengthen the orc tribe as soon as possible and let them carry out the first sacrifice. Sacrifice was one of the ways for the gods to obtain a large amount of ¡®power of faith¡¯. Lorne, who had just become a god, urgently needed the first resources to strengthen his believers. He therefore did not waste time. Instead, he looked directly at the flames on the stone pillar. The next moment¡­ Boom! The flames suddenly emitted a fierce burning sound, and a boiling wave of air spread out from within. Chapter 4 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Outside the temple¡­ Some of the orcs were chopping down trees to build houses. Some more powerful ones brought axes into the forest. They wanted to hunt for food to supply to the needs of the tribe. Due to the hard work in the morning, hundreds of huge logs had been piled up on the empty land. The orcs stopped cutting for a moment. They started to deal with the trees, preparing to build houses. But just at this moment¡­ Suddenly¡­ There was a strange sound of explosion. ¡°Boom!¡± All of the orcs turned their eyes to the temple. Feeling the impact of the heat wave, the orcs froze on the spot, and their eyes filled with fear. ¡°God, it¡¯s god!¡± After a while, some of the orcs finally reacted and cried out in shock. Following that, one by one, the orcs all knelt down facing the temple. All of the orcs¡¯ faces were almost touching the ground, showing extreme fear. That was definitely not an ordinary power. Such a huge flame must be the power of god! The low-intelligence orcs sensed this information, but they didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. It was because gods needed to be feared. They were also easily angered. In the eyes of gods, orcs were the most humble and low dust. If they angered gods, this tribe would be mercilessly wiped out. Although in their hearts, they had already regarded gods as their own faith, this matter had not been acknowledged by gods. To gods, these orcs weren¡¯t true believers yet. Therefore, they should not have any illusions about this matter. They should not even have any doubts about the power of gods. After all, the orcs in this tribe were all tier one creatures. Even if it was just one-millionth of the power left behind by gods, it was enough to kill all of them. It was precisely because they felt death that they were so afraid. All the orcs prostrated on the ground. No one dared to raise their heads. They could only perk up their ears and listen carefully to the sound of the flames burning, afraid that they would miss the orders of gods. ¡­ In the temple, Lorne frowned. As he hadn¡¯t given the orcs the totem of the divine kingdom, he couldn¡¯t contact the orcs outside. He therefore wanted to let the orcs in. But it seemed that they were too afraid of him and didn¡¯t dare to come any closer. Thinking of this, Lorne stopped blowing the flames. He had done what he needed to do. Such a movement had attracted the attention of the orcs. So now, he just had to wait patiently. ¡­ Outside the temple¡­ The sound of the flames disappeared, and the heat wave gradually subsided. But the orcs who were prostrating on the ground still didn¡¯t dare to get up. They were still waiting. Ten minutes. Twenty minutes. Half an hour. There was still no movement from the temple. At this time, finally, an orc raised his head. The others also got up one after another. Then, everyone looked at the temple with shock written all over their faces. ¡°We should go and ask the chief¡­¡± At this moment, an orc said. Almost in an instant, this sentence received the approval of everyone. As they were very clear that there was only a small flame in the temple. But now, it suddenly erupted with intense energy. The terrifying temperature even spread to a place 40 meters away. This was too incredible. Thinking back of last night, when a bolt of divine lightning had descended from the sky, destroying a mountain range and dispersing the kobold that had attacked at night¡­ Everyone instantly believed that this was the god¡¯s salvation for the orc tribe. ¡°I¡¯m going to inform the chief now!¡± One of the orcs left a message and quickly rushed into the forest. The orcs had a very special way of hunting, which was to use cardinals to scout and communicate from a distance. Therefore, he only needed to follow the cardinals in the air and he would be able to find the orc team hunting in the forest. Soon, the orc found the chief. ¡°Chief, god has just come to give a revelation!¡± ¡°What? A revelation from god?!¡± The strong orc chief widened his bull-like eyes. The orc quickly recounted what had happened. ¡°It¡¯s really god!¡± ¡°Quick! Everyone follow me back to the tribe!¡± The chief¡¯s face was filled with ecstasy. He even gave up on his injured prey. When he arrived outside the temple, the other orcs finally had a direction. Everyone followed behind him. They slowly walked towards the temple. And when they entered the temple, everyone was stunned. They saw that on the altar that was originally empty, and now there was actually a very complicated totem mark. That¡¯s right! That was a totem! When a totem mark appeared on the altar of a temple, it meant that god had acknowledged this group of humble believers. Seeing this scene, the orc chief quickly brought everyone to kneel on the ground, with his face full of piety and reverence. ¡°The great and ancient God of Thunder and Fire, the faith of the Monde tribe, please protect the humble believers!¡± ¡°The great and ancient God of Thunder and Fire¡­¡± All the orcs were praying. It was completely different from the morning prayers. This time, they could clearly feel that god¡¯s gaze was on all of them. And it was this feeling that made them feel even more awed. ¡­ ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°You have obtained 30 points of faith power.¡± ¡°You have obtained 50 points of faith power.¡± ¡°You have obtained 50 points of faith power.¡± ¡°You have obtained 30 points of faith power.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lorne, who was looking at everyone, received a series of notifications. When believers sincerely believed in god for the first time, they would produce a large amount of faith power. Therefore, Lorne¡¯s harvest this time was very good. In the blink of an eye, he had obtained more than a thousand points of power of faith. However, this was far from enough. The orcs in this tribe were too few. 43 orcs simply could not bring him a large amount of power of faith. However, this was something that could not be helped. Now, he only hoped that after he received this help, he could quickly develop the tribe. ¡°The great ancient God of Thunder and Fire¡­¡± ¡°The great ancient God of Thunder and Fire¡­¡± The orcs were all praying sincerely. Lorne, who was above them, was quietly listening to their prayers. This was a process that needed to be experienced. There needed to be such a connection between gods and believers. After listening three times, Lorne finally took action. He injected the power from gods into the divine kingdom totem. ¡­ At the same time¡­ The orcs on the ground didn¡¯t dare to make any movements. They sincerely knelt down to worship the god they believed in. As the only orc with high intelligence in the tribe, the orc chief also knelt on the ground. He placed the back of his hand on the ground and prayed sincerely. ¡°God, will you accept us, the humble believers?¡± The orc chief was a little worried. Although they had met a god in the tribe, it didn¡¯t mean that the god would definitely accept them. The orcs were too weak after all. It was likely that the god wouldn¡¯t even look at such weak believers. The orcs all had this kind of worry in their hearts, but they couldn¡¯t do anything else. They could only pray earnestly, hoping for the final success. Time passed bit by bit. The prayers were repeated again and again, but no one was impatient. All of them were waiting devoutly. It was also at this moment¡­ Suddenly¡­ Boom! The flames on the altar suddenly burned fiercely. At the same time, there was the sound of thunder exploding above their heads. In the sky above the Mond tribe, a large patch of dark clouds appeared out of nowhere, and there was the sound of thunder with a high frequency. ¡°It¡¯s responding!¡± ¡°The god has responded!¡± The orc chief was overjoyed, and his body couldn¡¯t help but tremble. The Monde tribe would be saved this time. The glory of god would definitely shine upon all the orcs in the tribe, and lead everyone towards the most glorious path. Chapter 5 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In the temple, the blazing flames illuminated the surroundings, and low thunder rumbled above their heads. The orcs prostrated themselves, almost sticking their entire bodies to the ground. They waited for the god¡¯s response with incomparable devotion. At this moment, a solemn and grand voice sounded in everyone¡¯s ears. ¡°I, the God of Thunder and Fire, Celtic Tolomiphal Karo-chusto¡­ accept your faith.¡± Along with the sound of thunder and fire, the god¡¯s solemn words were clearly transmitted to every devout believer. And when all the orcs heard the name of the god, the same totem mark as on the altar condensed on their foreheads. This was the recognition of the god, representing that they had become the most devout believers of the god. The orcs were ecstatic. It was also at this moment¡­ The totem marks on their foreheads shone with light. A ray of light flowed out from the totem and entered the bodies of the orcs. At this moment¡­ All the orcs could clearly feel an unknown power enveloping them. Especially the wounded, they could feel a strong vitality in their bodies. The wounds that were originally torn open by the sharp claws and fangs were now self-healing rapidly. Not only that¡­ After their wounds were healed, the power was still improving their physiques. Originally, these orcs were all relatively ordinary tier one creatures. However, after the baptism, their physiques had improved quite a bit. Now, they had reached the mid level of tier one creature! During the process of evolving their physiques, their bodies had also undergone a huge change. Their strong muscles could be seen expand once again, especially the muscles on their arms. They were actually bigger by one round than initially. Even just by looking at them, one could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within. Just as the other orcs were surprised by the changes in their bodies, the orc chief was feeling his spirit in shock. He could clearly feel that his spirit had grown significantly. The elements that he couldn¡¯t feel before now appeared in his eyes. Even his understanding of the world was starting to become clear. ¡°This is wisdom!¡± The orc chief¡¯s pupils dilated. He felt incredulous about the changes in him. To the orc race, wisdom was an untouchable power. Any orc with ¡®wisdom¡¯ was an elder or even a chief of a tribe. If this tribe had the totem of a god, then the orc with wisdom could become the most glorious ¡®shaman¡¯, responsible for conveying the will of the god. Thinking of this, the orc chief¡¯s eyes became completely fanatical, and so did the other orcs. All of them began to kneel towards the altar, giving out the most respectful voices. ¡°Great God of Thunder and Fire, your humble believers thank you for your grace!¡± ¡­ ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°You have received 100 points of faith power.¡± ¡°You have received 100 points of faith power.¡± ¡°You have received 100 points of faith power.¡± ¡°¡­¡± A series of notifications appeared on Lorne¡¯s interface again. His power of faith was also increasing rapidly. This was different from the first time he received it. This time, it was because the believers¡¯ level of faith in god had increased. Therefore, a large amount of faith power was produced. Originally, of the 43 orc believers, 28 were ¡®devout believers¡¯ and 15 were ¡®true believers¡¯. But now, all the ¡®devout believers¡¯ had become ¡®fanatics¡¯. All the ¡®true believers¡¯ had become ¡®devout believers¡¯. This was definitely a huge harvest. This was because the power of faith produced among the believers was different. For example, true believers had three points per day, devout believers had five points, and the higher-level fanatics had 10 points! In other words, the higher the level of faith the believers had, the more power of faith they would provide to the god. Of course, the stronger the believers, the more power of faith they provided. The gap between a tier one believer and a tier five believer was by several times, which could even be calculated by tenfold. They indeed could not be compared at all. Let¡¯s not talk about this in detail for now. What should be more important now was that Lorne had obtained a small fortune. Moreover, these ¡®fanatic¡¯ orcs would also become Lorne¡¯s cash cow, bringing him a lot of ¡®power of faith¡¯ every day. In other words, 28 fanatics would produce 280 points of ¡®power of faith¡¯ every day, and 15 devout believers would produce 75 points. In total, there were 355 points! A month was equivalent to 10,000 points, which was 120,000 points a year! It was pretty good when he thought about it. However, after Lorne calculated the conversion ratio of ¡®divine power¡¯, he had a headache. This was because one point of ¡®divine power¡¯ required one million points of ¡®power of faith¡¯ to condense. If it really continued at that rate, it would take nearly 10 years to condense one point. To become a basic god, they would need 1,000 points of divine power. This would take tens of thousands of years to achieve a small goal. ¡°No wonder the lifespan of a god is endless.¡± Lorne shook his head and smiled. For a young god like him who had just been born a day ago, it was still too early for him to raise his realm. That was not something he should consider. Lorne wasn¡¯t in a hurry either. He retracted his thoughts, then looked at the orc chief and gave the order. ¡°The sacrifice will begin in seven days.¡± ¡°The quality of the sacrifice can not be lower than tier two.¡± Hearing this, the orc chief replied sincerely, ¡°Obey my god¡¯s order!¡± After leaving the final order, the power of the god completely disappeared. The god had left. However, the orcs didn¡¯t immediately get up. They continued to grovel on the ground. Only after five minutes did they respectfully leave the temple under the leadership of the orc chief. ¡°Lord Shaman, what is the final decree of the god?¡± Some orcs asked respectfully. This time, they called him ¡®shaman¡¯. Among the races that had faith, ¡®shaman¡¯ had a higher status than the chief, especially when it came to the topic of ¡®faith¡¯. Looking at the newly-born orcs, the orc chief loudly roared, ¡°Believers of our god, obey the will of the god. We will begin the sacrifice in seven days, and we will offer a tier two sacrifice!¡± ¡°Now ¨C¡± ¡°Monde¡¯s warriors, let¡¯s go!¡± The orc chief raised the battle axe in his hand, and the other orcs roared as well. More than half of them rushed into the forest and began to hunt. Although their target this time was a powerful tier two monster, this group of strong orcs did not have any fear at all. On the contrary, their eyes were filled with fanaticism. As fighting for god was their greatest glory!!! Chapter 6 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After giving the orcs a mission, Lorne opened his interface. It showed that he still had 1879 points of ¡®Power of Faith¡¯. In order to recover from the orcs¡¯ injuries, Lorne spent about 500 points of ¡®Power of Faith¡¯. Then, he strengthened the orcs¡¯ physiques. As the Power of Faith was limited, Lorne did not give everyone a uniform upgrade. The best steel was used on the blade. He gave a few orcs with slightly stronger attributes, about 10 of them, each using 500 points of Power of Faith. As for the others, he only gave 100 points. Although the number was not large, but for the orcs, they did not do anything for it. They did not even offer sacrifices. Just getting a boost in strength for free was enough for them to go crazy. Apart from that, the Orc Chief was Lorne¡¯s focus. He had the high spirit which other orcs did not have. So Lorne gave him 2,000 points of ¡®Power of Faith¡¯ in one go to help him improve his understanding of magic. The result was quite good. The Orc Chief¡¯s physique had been improved. Although he had yet to advance, because he could sense the elements, he could learn divine spells. Lorne wanted to give him a few skills, but after seeing the savings he had, he had no choice but to give up the idea. In addition¡­ Since the gods could not interfere with the matters of the ¡®world of believers¡¯, Lorne did not stay there long. It was too boring to watch the orcs build houses. To be honest, Lorne finally understood the benefits of the City of Gods. The City of Gods had 24 times the speed of time. In the city, seven days in the ¡®world of believers¡¯ would only take seven hours. Of course, Lorne didn¡¯t waste any time in the castle. He used this time to sort out the information about the City of Gods. Although due to his level, he didn¡¯t have the right to view much of the information¡­ Fortunately, there was an information network here, so he could still find a lot of information about the gods. Lorne sorted out the information bit by bit, and a few hours quickly passed. Whereas in the world of believers, a few days had passed. During this time, if the orcs wanted to find Lorne, they could pray in the temple. As a god, Lorne could hear their requests. Fortunately, the orcs didn¡¯t encounter any crisis. On the contrary, because the Orc Chief¡¯s strength had improved, their hunting life was very successful. On the first day, they killed a few giant-toothed pigs and received three days¡¯ worth of rations for the entire tribe. The luck in the following few days was also quite good. Each time, they returned with a full load. Now, the food in the tribe was enough to support their needs for 10 days. If it was an orc tribe without any faith, they would give up hunting on the first day when they had a harvest. Then, they would wait until all the food was eaten before returning to the forest. But they didn¡¯t. As they hadn¡¯t fulfilled the god¡¯s will yet. As they hadn¡¯t killed a Tier Two monster for a few days in a row, the orcs of the Monde tribe even felt a little anxious. ¡­ ¡°It¡¯s time to leave.¡± Lorne got up and left the castle. During this period of time, every hour, the orc tribe would bring him 355 points of Power of Faith. Six days had passed, and Lorne had received a total of 2,130 points of Power of Faith. Including the remaining points from previously, he now had 4,000 points. ¡°I should be able to buy some low-level divine spells, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s best to buy another magic staff.¡± Lorne wanted to upgrade the Orc Chief first. When he had the strength, he would naturally be able to feed the entire tribe. Moreover, with a powerful leader, the safety of the entire tribe would be guaranteed. Of course, this was just Lorne¡¯s idea. How much did those things cost? He hadn¡¯t really understood. As these things were too low-level, there wasn¡¯t even any relevant information on the internet. But Lorne believed that since there were so many newly born gods, there would naturally be a low-level market. Lorne was very confident about this. Soon, he came to the nearest market. If there was a need, there would be a trade. If there was a trade, there would naturally be a market. Especially for the gods with large divine kingdoms, the materials they had to sell were countless. Therefore, it could be seen that there were countless shops in this city, and it was no different from the business model on Earth. On the contrary, this market of a lower level, was more like an open-air market. Here, most of the sellers did not have shops. They just placed their things on the ground and quietly waited for the buyers to come. Lorne was not familiar with this place. He began to inspect the streets bit by bit. In the end, he discovered that there were more low-level items than he had imagined. It seemed that all the gods around this area were ordinary gods. They hadn¡¯t been born for long, and their divine kingdoms were also still in their infancy. Soon after, Lorne stopped in front of a stall. The god in front of him was wearing a black cloak, and his face couldn¡¯t be seen. It seemed to be a dark type god. ¡°How much is this divine spell?¡± Lorne picked up a ball of light, which recorded a divine spell. Although it was only the lowest level of divine spell, it was a very powerful force for the current Orc Chief. ¡°2000 Power of Faith.¡± A hoarse, low voice sounded. You couldn¡¯t even tell the gender from the voice. But Lorne didn¡¯t care about these things. He only cared about the price. And this price was obviously beyond Lorne¡¯s budget. ¡°1,000!¡± Lorne quoted his price. ¡°1,800!¡± The god in the black cloak said. Lorne didn¡¯t agree, but continued to bid, ¡°1,400!¡± In Lorne¡¯s opinion, the lowest level divine art wasn¡¯t worth such a high price. ¡°1600.¡± ¡°This is the lowest price.¡± The dark god said in a hoarse voice. ¡°Deal.¡± Lorne did not hesitate and confirmed it directly. Soon, the two completed the transaction. Lorne continued to walk forward. After spending more than half an hour, he finally bought a very ordinary low-level magic staff in front of a stall. He spent 2500 Power of Faith, just nice to spend all the money he had on him. Lorne was very happy that he had got what he had wanted. Although the overall attributes of this magic staff were average, it was still a great help to the current Orc Chief. With the addition of divine spell, his strength could at least be doubled. This way, the safety of the tribe would be slightly guaranteed. At the same time, it would also be of great help to expand the scale of the tribe. Just as Lorne was thinking¡­ Suddenly! A voice sounded. It was the prayer of the Monde Orcs. The sacrifice! It had finally begun! Chapter 7 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Monde tribe. Seven days ago, this place was still a forest and wilderness. But now, it had changed greatly. A 10-meter-tall temple was located in the center of the valley. The 50 meters surrounding was an empty square. Further outside were wooden houses scattering around. Finally, a wooden circle fence protected the entire tribe. Although the scale was not large, it was full of vitality. At this moment, a large group of savage orcs wearing animal skins had gathered in the square. They bared their rough fangs and laughed loudly. Today was the first time the tribe had held a sacrifice. It was a day worthy of joy. At the same time, it was also the first time the tribe had killed a Tier Two monster. To be honest¡­ They had never imagined such a scene before. After all, not long ago, they had almost all died under the attack of the kobolds. Those disgusting creatures could not be compared to powerful Tier Two monsters. However, all the impossible in front of their eyes now came from the blessings of god. If not for the god, there would not be such a grand occasion today. Thinking of this, the orcs looked at the temple proudly, their eyes filled with reverence. At this moment¡­ A cry of surprise sounded. An incomparably huge object was approaching the temple. ¡°Quick!¡± ¡°Hurry!¡± ¡°Hurry up and carry the offerings over. The sacrificial ceremony is about to begin.¡± ¡°Be careful, don¡¯t let the blood flow everywhere!¡± A group of strong Monde orcs were carrying a huge monster. It was a Tier Two green bear beast! Unlike ordinary bears, it had a thick shell on its neck, and its body was covered with long green fur. There were also strange patterns on it, but at this moment, it had been coagulated by blood, emitting a strong smell of blood. One could imagine what kind of brutal attack the orcs had carried out on this green bear monster in order to kill it. Of course¡­ This battle was not without damage. In the hunting team, there were more than 10 people who were seriously covered in wounds. But fortunately, they were not fatally injured, and they could still walk after bandaging themselves. ¡°Roar! Roar! Roar! ¡± Seeing the monster they had killed appear in front of them, all the orcs opened their mouths full of fangs and roared, announcing that they were the final victors. Amidst the intense cheers¡­ The corpse of the green bear beast was placed at the entrance of the temple. ¡°Today!¡± ¡°Obey my god¡¯s order!¡± ¡°Sacrifice the green bear beast to my god!¡± The Orc Chief stood in front of the green bear beast¡¯s corpse and shouted loudly. Immediately, all the Monde orcs echoed loudly. ¡°Sacrifice! Sacrifice! Sacrifice!¡± After receiving the blessings of the god and completing an unprecedented achievement, the Monde orcs became extremely fanatical towards Lorne¡¯s faith. Many orcs¡¯ faith had reached the threshold. Perhaps with just a little bit of opportunity, their faith would enter a higher level. ¡°Light the fire!¡± Under the Orc Chief¡¯s order, the bonfires surrounding the temple were all lit. Then, prayers sounded. ¡°The ancient and great God of Thunder and Fire, it was you who gave us life, hope, and illuminated our way forward.¡± ¡°You are our only faith!¡± ¡°You are also a supreme existence!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The Orc Chief used the most reverent words and the most imposing voice to describe the achievements of the god. The prayers of dozens of orcs also rang out. The moment they opened their mouths, all of them knelt on the ground. One could see that their eyes were only filled with piety and reverence. At this moment, they were sincerely offering their faith to the god. The Orc Chief opened his hands and said in an excited voice, ¡°We are grateful to you. We wish you to be Immortal!¡± ¡°Today, we offer you a green bear beast!¡± ¡°We wish you accept our sacrifice!¡± ¡°We also request you to protect us, the humble believers!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, thunder rumbled in the sky. The sound of burning flames exploding rang in everyone¡¯s ears. The sky above the entire Monde tribe was enveloped by endless lightning. The god had descended! All the orcs were extremely nervous. They wondered if the great God of Thunder and Fire was satisfied with the sacrifice before him? This was the first divine order that the god had given to the tribe. There must be no mistakes. ¡­ ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°You have obtained 2,000 points of power of faith!¡± ¡°You have obtained 1,000 points of power of faith!¡± ¡°You have obtained 1,000 points of power of faith!¡± ¡°You have obtained 2,000 points of power of faith!¡± ¡°¡­¡± At this moment, on Lorne¡¯s system interface, notifications were popping up one after another. His Power of Faith was increasing rapidly. Every believer was providing him with a large amount of Power of Faith. This was completely illogical. As normally, these believers would give Lorne 10 or 5 points of Power of Faith every day. But now, it was 1,000 points, or even 2,000 points! It was 200 times more than usual! However, Lorne was not surprised. As he knew very well that this was the increase from the sacrifice. As mentioned before, the sacrifice was one of the ways for the gods to obtain a large amount of Power of Faith. A sacrifice like this gave Lorne 200 days of Power of Faith in one go. However, the sacrifice couldn¡¯t be held simply at any time. For an orc tribe, their sacrifice should be held once a year. This was because holding multiple sacrificial rituals would cause great damage to the believers¡¯ spirits. When a sacrificial ritual began, all the believers participating in the sacrificial ritual would be in a very special state. With the blessing of this special power, all the believers¡¯ spirits would be highly open. It was also because of this that god could obtain 100 times the Power of Faith from the believers at once. It was like taking blood. When the doctor took a certain amount of blood from your body, your body would enter a very weak state. If you did not have enough rest and continued to take blood, then your body would suffer a huge injury, it might even cause you death. As for why it was 100 times instead of 200 times? It was because the sacrifice this time was a Tier Two monster. The quality of the sacrifice doubled the original Power of Faith. In the end, it resulted in a 200 times income. This was also the main reason why Lorne emphasized the Tier Two sacrifice. ¡°A total of 71,000 points Power of Faith.¡± ¡°Not bad income.¡± With this amount of money, Lorne could properly strengthen the orcs in the tribe. At the very least, he would be able to equip most of the people with good equipment. When that time came, the tribe¡¯s combat strength would definitely increase tremendously. Thinking of this, Lorne felt much better. But at this moment¡­ A very strange thing happened. Lorne¡¯s pupils suddenly widened, and his face was full of shocked expression as he looked at the corpse of the blue bear beast on the ground. Chapter 8 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio What was that?! Lorne¡¯s eyes were fixed on the carcass of the green bear beast. He used the god¡¯s unique eyes to look through the green bear beast¡¯s fur and see through the blood essence condensed from the center of its body. This was a special material. It was something that the god would sell in the divine city. Under normal circumstances, if the quality of the sacrifice was too low, then the god would only be able to obtain the power of faith. But if the quality of the sacrifice was good, then the god could obtain a part of the sacrifice, or directly obtain the entire ultimate sacrifice. Obviously, this time Lorne had obtained the blood essence of the green bear beast. Originally, this wasn¡¯t surprising. But¡­ In Lorne¡¯s eyes¡­ This drop of blood essence was very different from the green bear beast¡¯s blood essence. It was because beside this drop of blood essence, he actually saw a group of numbers. ¡°x100?¡± ¡°What is this?¡± Previously while he was waiting, Lorne had looked up for the relevant information, but he had not seen anything similar to this. Lorne quickly blinked his eyes hard, and then focused his attention again. In the end, something unexpected had happened. Behind the blood essence, there was actually the symbol ¡°x100¡±! ¡°Could it be¡­¡± ¡°This is my golden finger?¡± As a young student who had transmigrated from Earth, Lorne had a clear understanding of the golden finger in all kinds of novels. He therefore subconsciously thought that this was his own system. Of course, this was just a guess. Lorne still had a lot of doubts in his heart at this moment. He really wanted to know the true meaning of that string of numbers. Just at that moment¡­ Suddenly¡­ A new set of information entered his mind. It was an accurate explanation of the strange phenomenon in front of him. Soon, Lorne came to a realization and understood everything. It was really his golden finger, and the effect was very abnormal. This was a special talent skill, and its name was [ Hundredfold Increase ] . Its specific function was exactly the same as his name, and it could increase the offerings Lorne received by 100 times! ¡°Gulp¡­¡± Lorne could not help but swallow his saliva. If this effect was real, then wouldn¡¯t he be able to receive 100 offerings in one sacrifice? Wasn¡¯t this effect too powerful? Thinking of this, Lorne was extremely excited. The impact of a hundredfold income was too great. Even now, he still felt a little dreamy. ¡°Phew ¨C¡± Lorne took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. Then, he stared at the drop of blood essence in front of him. Now, it was time to test the authenticity of his talent. He directly used the power of god and put the sacrifice into his own hands. The carcass of the green bear beast was still there, but at this moment, it had lost all of its divinity and turned into a pile of food that could only be used to fill up stomach. At the same time, two panels of different colors appeared in front of Lorne. The first panel was a light blue panel. This was the effect of his identity as a ¡®god¡¯. A message was bouncing on it. ¡ª¡ª [ Your followers have held a devout blood sacrifice ceremony for you! ] [ Your followers have sacrificed a Tier Two green bear beast! ] [ You have obtained 1,000 points of faith power! ] [ You have obtained a drop of normal-grade green bear beast¡¯s blood essence! ] ¡ª¡ª This was the notification regarding this sacrifice. But strangely, a golden panel soon popped up. ¡ª¡ª [ Your followers have sacrificed a Tier Two green bear beast. ] [ You have obtained 1,000 points of faith power! ] [ Affected by the effect of Hundredfold Increase, you have obtained 100,000 points of faith power! ] [ You have obtained a drop of normal grade green bear beast¡¯s blood essence.] [ Affected by the effect of Hundredfold Increase, you have obtained 100 drops of normal-grade green bear beast¡¯s blood essence (or one drop of transcendent-grade green bear king beast¡¯s blood essence¡¯) ! ] ¡ª¡ª ¡°It¡¯s really 100 times! ! !¡± Lorne¡¯s face was filled with shock He quickly checked his own faith power and discovered that he had really obtained an additional 100,000 points. However, there were no sacrificial materials in the warehouse. This was because Lorne had yet to make a choice. [ Hundredfold Increase ] talent did not only increase the ¡®quantity¡¯ of the sacrificial offering by 100 times, it also increased the ¡®quality¡¯ of the sacrificial offering by 100 times. However, Lorne could not have two rewards at the same time. He had to choose one of them. This was a choice that required consideration. The effects of the two outcomes were completely different. To god, there were five types of quality for the sacrificial items. Ordinary level! Elite level! Lord level! Transcendent level! Legendary level! Although both were Tier Two sacrificial items, the difference between the Transcendent level and the Ordinary level was definitely more than a hundredfold. An orc with a Transcendent bloodline could kill a hundred orcs at the same level without suffering any damage. As for the gods, not only could the Transcendent believers bring powerful combat power, they could also bring him a large amount of Power of Faith every day. Unfortunately, this was only a drop of blood essence, not a Transcendent living creature. Thunder lights and flames appeared in Lorne¡¯s eyes, with faint glowing light. This was the power of gods, being able to see everything clearly. Appraisal! ¡ª¡ª [ Green bear king beast¡¯s blood essence ] Grade: Transcendent Quantity: 1 Effect 1: Can help a Lord level monster increase its chances of advancing to Transcendent by 20% . Effect 2: Can be divided into 50 portions, and help an Elite level monster increase its chances of advancing to Lord Level by 20% . Effect 3: Can be divided into 100 portions, and help an Ordinary level monster increase its upper limit of aptitude to Elite level. ¡ª¡ª There were a total of three effects. All of them were related to the quality of the monster. Moreover, the difference in value between the three effects was very big. The first effect required you to have a monster with Lord level bloodline, and then help it raise its bloodline quality. Lorne was only a newly born god, and he did not have such a powerful follower. Not only did he not have a Lord level monster, he did not even have an Elite level monster. The most qualified person in the tribe was the Orc Chief. His had the quality close to the Elite, but strictly speaking, he was still an Ordinary level monster. Therefore, the first and second effects were of no practical use to Lorne. Only the third effect was what Lorne needed most. Chapter 9 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio For the newly established divine kingdom, the most important thing now was to increase the strength of the believers. Only then could they quickly expand the scale of the tribe. ¡°With strength, we can hunt even more powerful monsters.¡± ¡°The sacrifices in the future will definitely be better and better.¡± Lorne pondered for a moment, and then began to look at another option. ¡ª [ Green bear beast¡¯s blood essence ] Grade: Ordinary Effect: Can help Ordinary monsters to raise their upper limit of their aptitude. ¡ª It was different from dividing the green bear king beast¡¯s blood essence into 100 portions. Although the effect of both was to raise the upper limit of aptitude, this material might not be able to raise the upper limit to [ Elite level ] . In other words, its effect was worse than 1% of the [ Green bear beast¡¯s blood essence ] . Seeing this, the final choice was obvious. ¡°I choose the green bear beast¡¯s blood essence.¡± Lorne said, and then he waved his arm. The drop of blood in front of him was like a gemstone emitting a bright light. It actually split into a hundred blood threads. Then, he looked at the orc believer who was kneeling on the ground. A solemn and sacred aura came from all directions. Terrifying thunderbolts and flames intertwined together, enveloping the entire temple. ¡­ ¡°Oh my God!¡± The Orc Chief, who was praying, saw the change in front of him. His tiger body trembled in fear. He thought that the god was dissatisfied with the offerings, which was why he destroyed the temple. Could it be¡­ that the god was giving up on us, believers? Just as the Orc Chief was panicking, he saw a strange scene. Flames enveloped the entire temple, but it didn¡¯t burn the temple down. Instead, it attached itself to the building, making it seem incomparably huge. At the same time, a terrifying divine might came from the sky and enveloped the entire Monde tribe. All the orcs present felt a strong sense of oppression. They prostrated on the ground and prayed nervously. The Orc Chief immediately lowered his head and shouted fervently and excitedly, ¡°Great and ancient God of Thunder, the faith of the Monde tribe, humble believers request your protection.¡± The other orcs also followed his words and shouted. At this moment, a solemn and majestic voice sounded in everyone¡¯s ears. ¡°I, God of Thunder and Fire, accept your faith.¡± The majestic words were passed down, and the orcs who heard the response were overjoyed. At the same time, countless light spots fell from the sky and sprinkled on all the orcs who were praying. At this moment, all the orcs sensed a wild power enveloping their bodies. That power was evolving their muscles and strengthening their bodies, allowing them to obtain unprecedented improvements. In just a few seconds, all the orcs present had changed greatly. They had become stronger, and their overall strength had obtained unprecedented improvements. This was especially true for the few strongest orcs. Their evolution had not stopped, and the power bestowed by the god was still improving their bodies. Their bodies were getting stronger and stronger, and even the animal skin clothing they were wearing was torn apart. Their bodies expanded to a height of 2.3 meters before they finally stopped. At this moment, their rough skin became extremely taut under the support of their strong muscles. There was no fat at all. The green color of their skin also turned brown at this moment. Ferocious beast hair grew out from their backs. Their two protruding fangs became longer and thicker. Their entire appearance gave off a primitive and barbaric aura. ¡°Roar roar roar!!!¡± This group of orcs let out an incomparably exciting roar. Then, they knelt on the ground and worshipped the temple with incomparable fervor. The power of the god was truly inconceivable. Just because of the blessing just now, their orc bloodlines had evolved to the Elite level! However, at this moment, the sound of a bone breaking rang out. All the orcs looked at the Orc chief kneeling in front of them. The changes in his body hadn¡¯t stopped. They saw that his body had expanded to a terrifying degree. It was actually twice the size of an ordinary orc. And the sound just now was caused by his skull breaking. A ferocious bull horn was seen grow out of his head. At the same time, pitch-black bone spikes grew out of his back. His appearance had changed greatly compared to an ordinary orc. He had evolved! With the support of divine power, he had evolved into an even more powerful Tier Two monster. Sensing the changes in his body, the Orc Chief quickly kowtowed to the temple and shouted excitedly, ¡°Great God of Thunder and Fire, humble believer thank you for your gift. May your divine fire live on forever.¡± ¡°May your divine fire live on forever.¡± In the square, all the orcs began to kowtow in agreement, their hearts filled with reverence. ¡­ ¡°Is this the faith of a Tier Two monster?¡± Standing in the sky above the entire tribe, Lorne felt that the faith passage between him and his believers had become more stable and clearer. When the monster¡¯s grade rose to Tier Two, the faith that the Orc Chief brought to Lorne had also undergone a drastic change. A Tier One Ordinary fanatic could bring him 10 points of faith power every day. A Tier Two Elite fanatic would bring him 25 points of faith power. Lorne revealed a delighted smile when he saw this scene. Faith was the source of power for gods, and high-level fanatics were the most stable source of faith. Just now, the Orc Chief and the other evolved orcs had brought Lorne quite a bit of faith power. The Elite orc gave Lorne an additional 1,000 points of the Power of Faith, while the Tier Two Elite Orc Chief gave him an additional 2,500 points of the Power of Faith. As for the others, seven of them had become fanatics due to the increase in their faith. The remaining few had also reached the threshold of faith and could become even more fanatical believers at any time. This was all because Lorne had saved the tribe. As the redeemed orcs, their faith in god far exceeded the faith of the believers who had been enlightened through other means. There would be a clear distinction in the future. Unfortunately, the sacrifice could only be done once a year. Otherwise, based on the current income rate, it would be really comfortable. Thinking of this problem, Lorne felt that he should get used to this kind of life. Otherwise, he would always view things according to the Earth¡¯s concept of time. The long period of time would always make people feel frustrated. With a sigh, Lorne looked at the Orc Chief with a dignified gaze. ¡°Sacrifice once a year.¡± ¡°The quality of the sacrifice can not be lower than the previous one.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the burning flames in the temple began to gradually disappear. At the same time, two rays of light poured into the Orc Chief¡¯s body. They were divine spell and divine weapon! Feeling that he had been blessed again, the Orc Chief quickly agreed excitedly, ¡°I will obey my god¡¯s order.¡± Chapter 10 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In the City of Gods¡­ At the castle¡­ Half a drop of blood appeared in front of Lorne. ¡°There are still 57 portions more.¡± ¡°It should be able to sell for quite a bit of money, right?¡± The orcs had been blessed with 43 drops of blood, and now there were still 57 portions left. Even though the blood had been diluted, the [ green bear king beast¡¯s blood essence ] was still a Transcendent level treasure. Even if it was scattered, it would still have excellent effects. At the very least, it was much stronger than an ordinary tier two materials. Moreover, if all these blood were added up, it would at least be worth half a drop of Transcendent blood essence. This was indeed a rare divine item, and the price would definitely be good. Lorne was very confident in this half drop of blood essence. After all, even an ordinary tier two item could cost around 10,000 faith power. This item in front of him, which was even more powerful than an ordinary tier two item, could at least be sold for 30,000 to 50,000 points each, right? Lorne smiled. If he could really get 30,000 points, he would be able to obtain 1.5 million Power of Faith. At that time, he would be able to refine some divine power, and still have 500,000 points left. It was quite exciting when thinking about it. While he was thinking, Lorne had already walked out of the castle heading towards the nearby trading market. This trading market was very low-level, but this was exactly what Lorne wanted. It was because he wanted to sell tools for improving low-level monsters. This kind of thing was only attractive to the gods in the beginning stage of the divine kingdom. Of course, if it was a complete blood, Lorne would go to the other market. It was slightly more high-end there, and there would be more people who wanted it. ¡°Do I want to set up a stall?¡± Standing on the street, Lorne muttered. This street was almost filled with gods setting up stalls. The things they wanted to sell were also rare and strange. They were all spending their time waiting for their customers. Lorne thought for a moment, found a place, and then entered the setting up mode. The item he sold was very simple. It was the half drop of blood essence floating in the air in front of him. And just as he finished setting up, a god wearing beast skin walked over. His strong and powerful body gave off a barbaric aura. ¡°What kind of blood is this?¡± The god wearing beast skin asked. He had just arrived at the market, but he was immediately attracted by an intense blood aura. Such an intense blood aura should be of very high quality. ¡°Blood essence of the green bear king beast,¡± Lorne said. ¡°What quality?¡± The god wearing the beast skin widened his eyes and asked excitedly. ¡°Transcendent.¡± ¡°Transcendent?!¡± The god snatched the blood essence and sniffed at it. Soon after, he frowned. Although this drop of blood had the Transcendent quality, after carefully sensing it, he felt something strange. It was as if the divinity in this drop of blood wasn¡¯t perfect, and it had lost some of its aura. ¡°Who did this?!¡± The god wearing beast skin widened his eyes in anger and roared, ¡°Who the hell did this? A perfectly fine Transcendent blood essence has actually been diluted to such a state!!!¡± This god was furious. This was clearly a very rare Transcendent blood essence, but now, half of its divinity had lost. The Transcendent attribute had been completely destroyed, and it had completely lost its original effect. Eh¡­ Lorne scratched his head, not admitting that he was the instigator. Instead, he asked, ¡°Is the undiluted Transcendent blood essence very precious?¡± He truly did not understand the true price of this blood essence. With his authority, he was temporarily unable to come into contact with the value of such a rare item. ¡°Of course.¡± The god wearing beast skin had a look of disappointment as he said regretfully, ¡°If this was a drop of undiluted medicine, it would be worth at least two million Power of Faith.¡± ¡°Two million?!¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Seeing how shocked Lorne was, the god explained seriously, ¡°If it was at the auction, it would be possible to sell it for three million.¡± ¡°What a pity, what a pity. This drop of blood essence has already been destroyed and its value has dropped drastically. Now, it can¡¯t even be sold for one million.¡± Not worth one million? Hearing this, Lorne could feel his scalp go numb. He had a feeling that he wanted to slap himself. He didn¡¯t know what had possessed him that he had use this drop of blood essence to evolve an orc. Two million Power of Faith had left him this way. Lorne wanted to cry but had no tears. At this moment, the god asked, ¡°What price can it be sold?¡± ¡°You offer a price and see.¡± Lorne did not offer a price. Instead, he let the other party do. After all, he did not know the exact price. If he made an offer, it would be easy for him to fall into a passive position. ¡°500,000.¡± The god wearing beast skin gave a price. This price was very low, far way below Lorne¡¯s expectation. Furthermore, although he said that this blood essence was not that rare, he was still holding it in his hands. It was obvious that he was very keen. Noticing this detail, Lorne felt a little more confident. ¡°1.2 million!¡± Lorne opened his mouth and gave his price. This price shocked the god. The price he had offered was only 500,000, but the god had directly asked for 1.2 million. The huge difference between the two was a bit shocking. ¡°It¡¯s too high. I can only increase it to 700,000.¡± ¡°The blood essence was indeed worth a lot, but as you know, it¡¯s badly damaged. It no longer has the effect of allowing a Lord level monster to evolve. How can it be sold for more than one million?¡± The god wearing the beast skin spoke very sincerely. Moreover, his image was rather barbaric. It did not seem like he was lying at all. Unfortunately, Lorne didn¡¯t buy it. In any case, he had to start at one million, because condensing a bit of divine power required one million points of Power of Faith. Moreover, the entire City of Gods was so big, there was no need to be in a hurry to sell it. After some time, if it still couldn¡¯t be sold, then it would be no problem to sell it at a low price. ¡°I want this blood essence for use. How about¡­ 800,000?¡± The god continued to increase the price. It could be seen that this price had indeed reached his limit, it was basically impossible for him to give a higher price. Seeing that Lorne was still unmoved, the god wearing beast skin couldn¡¯t help but sigh and reluctantly put the blood essence back to its original position. He turned around to leave. But at this time, Lorne said, ¡°950,000, take it.¡± 950,000? Hearing this price, the beast skin god, who had originally given up, stopped in his tracks and fell into hesitation. In his heart, the highest price was 800,000, and the current price was 950,000. The difference between the two was not as big as he had imagined. For a god that had been born for decades and already had some scale in the divine kingdom, 150,000 faith was not a lot. It could be earned back in just a few months. Thinking of this, the beast skin god gritted his teeth and finally nodded. ¡°Alright, 950,000, deal.¡± Very quickly, the two completed the transaction. Lorne had obtained 950,000 Power of Faith. Adding the tens of thousands he had obtained from the sacrificial ceremony, he now had a total of 1.02 million Power of Faith. He could now condense his own divine power!!! Chapter 11 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chapter 11: The Use of Divine Power ¡°Currently, the tribe can produce 420 points of Power of Faith every day. At this rate, it will take six to seven years to accumulate one million¡­¡± After estimating his income, Lorne could not help but sigh. This time, it was really fortunate to have the [ Hundredfold Increase ] talent. Otherwise, his days as a god would have not been much more comfortable as a university student on Earth. Of course, this was also a joke. No matter how difficult it was, at least in this world, gods had endless life. The 100 years of life on Earth could not be compared to this. Shaking his head and smiling, Lorne gathered his memory. He had accumulated a million Power of Faith. Now, he could condense divine power. In this world, the power of gods came from divine power. The more divine power one had, the stronger one would be. On the contrary, the less divine power one had, the weaker one would be. A god like Lorne, who didn¡¯t even have a drop of divine power, was completely at the bottom of the City of Gods. ¡°Condense divine power, refine divine body, cleanse divine soul, strengthen divine spells¡­¡± ¡°Everything requires divine power.¡± The moment he started cultivating, Lorne felt the difficulty of being a god. If he was just an ordinary god, it would be easy. All he needed to do was hide his believers in a relatively safe area and allow them to reproduce in isolation. However, once such a god was discovered by the believers of other gods, most of them would die in a war. If you wanted to get rid of all of this, you needed to gather enough divine power to improve your divine body, divine soul, divine spell, and everything else. Once you had enough power, you would have the absolute right to enjoy the pleasure of endless life. The road ahead was incomparably difficult. But in order to survive in this cruel world, Lorne had to do his best. ¡°Condense!¡± Lorne willed, and in an instant, millions of Power of Faith condensed into a purplish red energy. This was his divine power. Although there was only a trace, it had infinite power. When he used divine spell in the future, this trace of divine power could let Lorne burst out with extremely terrifying power. Among the newly born gods, those who could condense divine power in five years were already considered outstanding geniuses. And those who could condense divine power within a year might not appear even once in a thousand years. As for gods like Lorne, who only used seven days to condense divine power, even if one searched through the entire history of the City of Gods, definitely there would not be a second one. If other gods knew about this, they would probably be shocked to the point of doubting their own lives. ¡°Divine power formed from thunderbolt and fire?¡± Lorne sensed the power within the divine power and discovered that there were actually two types of power within, and they had perfectly fused together. From a certain perspective, this trace of divine power was actually equivalent to two or even three traces of the divine power of other gods. This was because the perfectly fused divine power would explode with twice or even three times the power of a divine spell. In layman¡¯s terms, he should be considered a genius among the gods, born with power that other gods did not possess. In addition to his talent of Hundredfold Increase, Lorne¡¯s future was limitless. And when Lorne activated this strand of divine power. Instantly! Rumble!! Thunderbolts and flames interweaved together! And then exploded in an instant, surging power sweeping in all directions. The terrifying sea of lightning expanded in all directions, and endless lightning flashed. The raging flames suddenly ignited, instantly forming a sea of fire. The sea of fire and the sea of lightning fused together, interweaving into an extremely violent energy that seemed to be able to burn everything in the entire world. However, such a scene didn¡¯t appear. It was because this was the City of Gods, even gods wouldn¡¯t be able to release any power here. Thus, the scene before him was just a scene, but it didn¡¯t cause any material damage to any of the items in the castle. ¡°No wonder it¡¯s said that divine power is the foundation of god¡¯s power.¡± ¡°Divine spells that are powered by divine power are at least several times more powerful than simply powered.¡± Lorne stretched out his hand, and there was a tornado made of thunder and flames. He muttered confidently, ¡°If this was in the believer¡¯s world, just a trace of divine power would probably be enough to rule the mountains for thousands of miles¡­¡± It was a pity that god could not directly join in the battle between believers. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to expand his divine kingdom faster and develop it faster by himself. Lorne smiled confidently. He clenched his fist and dispelled the tornado. Then, he began to investigate the other uses of divine power. In the next second. Lorne let out a cry of surprise. ¡°Divine power will be consumed?!¡± Lorne¡¯s pupils dilated, unable to believe this rule. Just as he condensed the divine power, some information about the effects of divine power appeared in his mind. From this information, Lorne learned that divine power was the driving force of divine spell. But at the same time, divine power was the only power that tempered the divine body. If you only used divine power to activate ordinary divine spells, then this action would only consume the energy of divine power. The energy that was consumed would automatically recover after a period of rest. But! When you used divine power to refine the divine body or soul. Then this trace of divine power would be completely consumed! It would completely disappear! Lorne was extremely shocked by this. After all, in order to condense this strand of divine power, he had spent one million Power of Faith. If it was placed on an ordinary god, it would require five years of accumulation to obtain funds! In the end, it was only used to temper the body, yet it was directly consumed? This rule was too cruel! Lorne took a deep breath and then spat it out heavily. He was still feeling fine. It was because this time, he only spent seven days to obtain one million Power of Faith. The process wasn¡¯t difficult. So when he saw this rule, he was only shocked for a short while, and then he was back to normal. After all, he had the Hundredfold Increase, and the difficulty of obtaining the Power of Faith was a hundred times easier than other gods, or even a few hundred times easier. Thinking of this, Lorne¡¯s mood calmed down again. He began to comprehend the power contained in this strand of divine power, so as to improve his understanding of thunder and fire. This behavior was the best way for a newly born god to control his own power. Thus, Lorne seemed to fall into a deep sleep, quietly leaning on the most luxurious throne in the castle. Time passed. The believer¡¯s world went on from day to day, and many things happened during the period of time. Chapter 12 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chapter 12: Time Flies Monde tribe. The sun rose and set in a cycle. Soon, more than three months had passed. During these three months, the orcs in the tribe had undergone great changes. Due to the blessings of the god, the 43 orcs in the tribe had all evolved into Elite level monsters. In the world of believers, the strength of an Elite level monster was several times stronger than that of an ordinary level monster. Even if they were to fight against a dozen ordinary orc teams, the final victor would definitely be that elite level monster. This was like a professional boxer meeting a group of ordinary people. After the conflict between the two sides, the person who was killed would definitely be an ordinary person. Perhaps the strength of a professional boxer was only twice that of you, but their combat skills and physical fitness were much stronger. Killing a dozen ordinary people was not a problem at all. The current Elite orcs were in such a state. Their combat fitness was very strong, and every one of them was a powerful hunter in the forest. At the same time¡­ After they had evolved¡­ The group of orcs that had become Elite monsters didn¡¯t forget who had given them the new life. Thus, at that moment, all of their faith had received an unprecedented boost. The original 43 orcs had all become fanatics who had sacrificed their lives for the god. This also brought Lorne higher income from the Power of Faith. The fanatics could bring 10 points of Power of Faith to the gods every day, while the Elite monsters would increase by 50%, which was 15 points. In this way, Lorne¡¯s income reached 655 points every day. Three months later, he had accumulated close to 60,000 points of Power of Faith. And¡­ On this day, there was another good thing. The orcs of the tribe were starting to give birth to their next generation. Among the orcs of the Monde tribe, 17 female orcs were now pregnant. Ever since they became fanatics, these orcs began to think of ways to contribute to the god. Especially after everyone had evolved into Elite level monsters, they paid more attention to this aspect. Coincidentally, it was time for the orcs to breed. Therefore they worked day and night and finally made all the female orcs pregnant. With this batch of little orcs, the population of the tribe could increase by a third. In addition¡­ They were also making other efforts. They were trying to educate other monsters so that they could worship their god. However, they had never succeeded. This was because the monsters they could meet now were basically monsters with very low intelligence. They only knew how to survive and didn¡¯t think of believing in anyone. Just like the orcs previously. If it wasn¡¯t for the god sending down thunder to disperse the kobolds, they wouldn¡¯t have believed in any god at all. Of course, the Orc Chief had played a big part in this. If it hadn¡¯t been for his suggestion, the low intelligence orcs wouldn¡¯t have thought of taking away the tinder and establishing a temple to worship the god. The orcs therefore were helpless. In these three months, they had captured countless monsters, but they hadn¡¯t been able to enlighten any of them. In the end, they had no choice but to kill those stupid monsters as food for the tribe. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, another three months passed. The little orcs were born. Different from other monsters, the orcs gave birth in three months, while the kobolds gave birth in five months. Of course, the kobolds could give birth to six or seven children per birth, while the orcs could only give birth to one or two. In this aspect, the orcs were no match for the kobolds. But fortunately¡­ The parents of these little orcs were Elite level orcs. That was why they were very strong from a young age. Even if they were born less than 10 days, they already had the power to hunt stags. Furthermore, under the guidance of their parents, these little orcs began to believe in the god of the tribe since young, bringing some additional wealth to Lorne. On the other hand¡­ Under the training of the Orc Chief, the 10 orcs that had received special care from the god had also broken through to Tier Two. This was because Lorne had given them more than 10 times the Power of Faith compared to the others, and with the help of the blood essence of the green bear king beast, they had hope of advancing. With 10 Tier Two monsters and a Tier Two shaman, the strength of the tribe had increased to an unprecedented level. In the surrounding forest, it was rare for them to encounter opponents that the Monde tribe could not defeat. This made their lives very easy. It was also at this time¡­ Lorne, who had been cultivating in the City of Gods, finally exited the state of enlightenment. ¡°Has half a year already passed?¡± Lorne looked at the time and was indeed shocked. It was only less than eight days in the City of Gods. But more than six months had passed in the world of believers. Lorne could not help but sigh. Time passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, so much time had passed. Even the Power of Faith had accumulated to 140,000 points. ¡°It¡¯s time to prepare some equipment for the orcs.¡± Lorne went out to the market. In the divine kingdom of the new god, most of the believers didn¡¯t have any equipment because equipment could only be forged by blacksmiths. Most of these professions were goblins with relatively high intelligence, or humans. As for the orcs and kobolds, they wouldn¡¯t be able to create any high-grade equipment in their entire lives. After all, real equipment wasn¡¯t just simple animal skin clothing. Magic runes were engraved on their bodies, and any equipment with quality had a unique ability. Of course, most of the equipment would still focus on increasing attributes. While thinking, Lorne came to a stall selling equipment. This was a goblin god. Although he did not look good, he had mastered a technique to make a fortune. Just forging equipment would allow him to develop faster than other gods. ¡°How much is the Tier One equipment?¡± Lorne asked. ¡°Set or part?¡± ¡°Set.¡± Yes, Lorne wanted to buy a set because the attributes of the set were better and its combat power was stronger. Of course, the price of a set was also higher. ¡°A Tier One close combat set, 15,000 Power of Faith.¡± ¡°A Tier One Magic set, 50,000 Power of Faith.¡± The goblin god gave the price and at the same time pointed at the two sets of equipment. The so-called set didn¡¯t have many pieces. Just like the set that the god mentioned, there were only four pieces. Helmet, armor, weapon, and combat boots. A single piece was even more expensive than the magic staff he bought the last time. And¡­ The magic set was much more expensive than the close combat set. It had an additional 35,000 faith power. Seeing this price, Lorne quickly dismissed the idea of giving the Orc Chief a magic set. ¡°14,000. I want 10 close combat sets.¡± ¡°Deal.¡± The goblin god looked at Lorne with a smile. This price was completely acceptable. After all, he was buying 10 sets in one go. Then he asked, ¡°What type of weapon do you want?¡± ¡°Axe.¡± ¡°No problem. 140,000 faith power. Thank you for your patronage.¡± The goblin god waved his hand, and immediately, 10 balls of light flew towards Lorne. After paying 140,000 Power of Faith, the equipment went straight into Lorne¡¯s package. Chapter 13 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°10 sets of Tier One equipment, plus the orc¡¯s Elite level bloodline and Tier Two quality, the combat power that they can display should not be any weaker than that of Tier Three monsters.¡± ¡°Moreover, they only need another half a year before they can sacrifice again. With their current combat power, they will definitely be able to hunt monsters that are even more advanced than the green bear beast. They might even be able to reach Tier Three.¡± Lorne brought his equipment into the world of believers. One could see that the divine kingdom now had the embryonic form of a tribe. In this territory, the orcs built a large number of wooden houses. They sharpened the huge trees and erected them as guardrails to protect the territory from external monsters. However, these buildings were still too primitive. The intelligence of the orcs was limited. They did not know how to plan the construction of the territory. For example, in the current territory, most of the buildings were houses. Perhaps it was because they already had guarantee to their living, these orcs actually built houses for everyone. Even the children had their own houses. Seeing this scene, Lorne shook his head repeatedly. This was not a complete territory. It could only be considered a temporary camp. It did not have any role in resisting the invasion. ¡°Looks like I need to find time to prepare some architectural blueprints.¡± Lorne pondered. An excellent territory needed to have many types of buildings. For example, the arrow tower, the city wall, the watchtower, and other buildings which could provide sufficient defense for the divine kingdom. Other examples were the lumberyard, the quarry, and other buildings, which could gather sufficient resources for the divine kingdom. Although simple material resources were useless to Lorne, the god, it could make the construction of the territory more complete and eventually expand into a real country¡­ These special types of buildings were all necessary for an excellent territory. They needed to be developed aggressively in the future. However¡­ The territory was still in the primitive era. It was still too early to do any high-level civilization related things. What the territory needed to face now was how to survive. In another month or two, the area where the territory was located would enter winter. By then, the weather would be bad and food would be scarce. For the orcs, surviving alone would have been a problem. Therefore, Lorne temporarily put down the thoughts in his mind. At night, Lorne appeared in the temple as a god. Since there was no sacrifice, Lorne simply found an excuse and distributed the 10 sets of equipment he bought. As for the oracle, Lorne¡¯s only requirement for the orcs was to explore the surrounding forest in a sufficiently safe condition. Yes, Lorne¡¯s idea was that simple. His current goal was to pass the second half of the year safely. And then obtain enough profits from the next sacrifice, and increase the strength of the orcs by a large margin. Only then could Lorne feel at ease letting the orcs explore the distant forest. Other than that, Lorne didn¡¯t have any other requests. After all, they were just a group of orcs, so it wasn¡¯t ideal for them to do even more things. After dealing with the matter, Lorne continued to return to the World of Gods. Building the divine kingdom had a very long process, and living in the World of Gods could speed up the somewhat boring waiting time. This way, Lorne continued to cultivate in the castle. He closed his eyes and carefully felt his own power. Feeling his divine personality, allowing the divine power and divine spell to be integrated more thoroughly, this action would allow him to understand the power of the divine attribute more clearly. ¡­ Time passed quickly in the world of believers. In the blink of an eye, another few months passed. As they had obtained 10 sets of Tier One equipment, the orcs¡¯ strength had become stronger, and the area of the forest they explored became larger and larger. But on this night¡­ All of the Monde orcs were called out, and they all gathered in the tribal square. Their eyes looked at the bonfire, and in the countless pairs of eyes, an orc was lying on the ground. It was a young orc from the tribe. He should have been around like everyone else, but now, there were several hideous wounds on his abdomen. His flesh and bones were exposed in the air. Yes, he was dead. Today as it was entering night time, the orcs in the Monde tribe were attacked, and there were casualties. ¡°Who did it!¡± The Orc Chief gripped his magic staff tightly. Under the black hood, there was an extremely gloomy face. ¡°It was a group of orc strangers.¡± At this time, a young orc warrior in the crowd spoke. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°At that time, we were exploring the forest 20 kilometers away. When we drilled out of a bush, we found a few kobolds.¡± ¡°Originally, with our strength, we could have completely annihilated them.¡± ¡°But who knew that they actually had their partners nearby. Seven Kobolds surrounded us. During the fight, two kobolds were crushed to death by us. But at this time, he was accidentally cut in the abdomen by the weapons of the orcs. After he was injured, soon he couldn¡¯t hold on much longer.¡± ¡°I could only hide in the forest and escape. After the kobolds left, I carried his corpse back.¡± The two orcs who were attacked were young orcs who had grown up in the latter half of the year. Due to the living environment, the growth rate of the orcs was very fast. Coupled with their excellent genes, this group of young orcs quickly gained a strong physique. In addition, the surrounding 20 kilometers of forest had been explored, which was why they had gone to search such a far area. However, such an accident had happened. Although the little orcs¡¯ bodies were very strong, they faced too many enemies. In addition, their combat experience was not that proficient, which was why the current situation had occurred. ¡°D*mn kobolds!¡± ¡°Kill them all!¡± ¡°Take revenge!¡± The strong orcs around were furious and roared. ¡°Quiet.¡± The Orc Chief suppressed everyone¡¯s emotions and looked at the young orc who managed to escape. ¡°You mean those kobolds were holding weapons?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°How did it look like?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a very long spear. The front is made of iron and it¡¯s very sharp.¡± The young orc clearly remembered the weapon that killed his companion. Hearing this, all the adult orcs revealed extremely serious expressions. Such a weapon wasn¡¯t something that the kobolds could forge. In other words, that group of kobolds were actually believers of other false gods! ¡°The glory of our god can not be blasphemed!¡± The Orc Chief held his staff and fiercely paused. He angrily said, ¡°They killed the believer of our god, and they must be punished!¡± ¡°However, since we found out that they were false god¡¯s followers, we must report this matter to the god and follow our god¡¯s order!¡± Chapter 14 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Great God of Thunder and Fire, your glory can not be blasphemed. Please let your believers turn into sharp blades in your hands and cut down all those who offend you!¡± The Orc Chief faced the temple and shouted loudly. All the orcs behind him also knelt on the ground, giving the highest respect to the god. They buried their heads on the ground. In the past year, due to the blessings of the god, these lowly orcs were able to survive to this day and possess such great strength. For the orcs of the Monde tribe, praying was an incomparably sacred matter. Hence, they were both nervous and excited. At this moment, all the orcs were praying in unison, their rough faces filled with determination. In the temple, the flames on the stone pillars gradually rose, finally engulfing the entire temple. Thunderbolts and flames intertwined, causing the temperature of the entire tribe to rise. The high and mighty god had descended. It had been more than four months since the last time he had descended. This group of humble believers could finally meet the great and omnipotent God of Thunder and Fire again. All the orcs felt extremely honored and excited. The next second¡­ An incomparably vast pressure appeared. As a believer with wisdom, the Orc Chief could clearly feel that the god he believed in was looking at him. He quickly opened his mouth to tell him what had happened today. ¡°Kobolds?¡± ¡°Another god?¡± Hearing this, Lorne could not help but frown. His expression was very solemn, and he was also very nervous. It was because this meant that a war had begun. When another divine kingdom appeared around a divine kingdom, there would inevitably be friction. Moreover, there was already an orc who had died in the hands of the other party. So this battle was inevitable. Although Lorne did not want to start a divine war, the matter was already out of his control. When the believers of both sides met, the information of the entire country would be exposed. The only uncertainty now was where the other party¡¯s divine kingdom was? Lorne believed that the other party was also thinking about this problem. However¡­ Lorne still felt that he had an advantage. Although he was only a god that was born for a year, Lorne already had a trace of divine power. This was something that other normal orcs would need five years or more to accomplish. In addition, the strength of the orc believers in Lorne¡¯s divine kingdom had also increased tremendously. In this year, the first 43 orcs had evolved into Elite level monsters. Such an achievement was something that no one in a one-year-old divine kingdom could achieve. Even in this million-mile-long mountain range, it should be considered a pretty good force. This was because Lorne had done some research on this in the divine world. It was clearly described above. The place where the new god was born was called the Place of Origin. In this Place of Origin, all the announcements were new born, and there wouldn¡¯t be a situation where the history was too far apart. Even if there was a god that was slightly older, he wouldn¡¯t appear around the new god. Unless you expanded your divine kingdom to a very large extent, then only would you gradually come into contact with these powerful new gods. Otherwise, within five years, you wouldn¡¯t even bump into them. As for the older gods, they would be even less likely to appear. Although some people said that the Place of Origin might also be born within the control of a large divine kingdom¡­ The master of this divine kingdom was unable to interfere with the Place of Origin. If they violated the rules, they would receive extremely severe punishment. On the contrary, not interfering with the Place of Origin would allow this powerful god to receive a certain reward. Therefore, there wouldn¡¯t be any situation where a powerful existence would interfere in this place. Therefore, Lorne had enough confidence. It was even a good thing for him to start a divine war. Based on the information he had seen, Lorne clearly knew that a divine war was an important way for the rapid development of a divine kingdom. Every victory in a divine war could allow one¡¯s divine kingdom to transcend the time limit and directly possess great power. Therefore, Lorne was feeling a little excited in his heart. However¡­ In order to ensure that nothing went wrong¡­ Lorne felt that he had to gather intelligence beforehand. Knowing oneself and the enemy, one would not be defeated in a hundred battles. Therefore, he looked at the Orc Chief. In an instant¡­ Dense thunderbolts appeared in the sky above the entire Monde tribe. A shocking roar exploded in everyone¡¯s mind. An incomparably vast god¡¯s majesty spread out. An incomparably grand voice covered the entire Monde tribe. ¡°Begin the Divine War!¡± These four short words made the blood of the orcs of the entire Monde tribe boil. The Orc Chief said with incomparable fanaticism, ¡°Obey my god¡¯s orders!¡± After that, the flames in the temple gradually disappeared. The god Left. At this time, the ORC Chief suddenly stood up. He looked at all the Monde orcs with a fervent gaze. He raised the magic scepter in his hand high up and let out a deafening roar. ¡°Believers of my god, begin the divine war!¡± As soon as he said this, the entire Monde tribe was in an uproar. All the orcs raised their arms and shouted with the most fervent and excited voice, ¡°Begin the divine war!¡± Facing the unknown war, the orcs didn¡¯t have any fear. They even cheered. It was because fighting for the god was their glory. Even death was the supreme glory. However, before the god left, the Orc Chief received another oracle. That was to find out the location of the false god¡¯s believers. The god wanted to give the enemy the heaviest blow when he was most confident. So now was not the time for an all-out war. Under the command of the Orc Chief, the Monde orcs formed 10 orc squads and all set off in different directions. All of them had the same goal. That was to find the exact location of the false god¡¯s believers in the shortest time possible. This was a task that required a lot of time. This was because the place where they met was in the forest 20 kilometers away. At the periphery of that distance was an incomparably large area. It would be extremely difficult to find a weak kobold tribe inside. It would also be extremely difficult for the other party to find their tribe. Therefore, there was still a period of time to buffer. Lorne did not waste these precious opportunities. He quickly returned to the World of Gods. During this period of time, he would continue to comprehend divine power and divinity. This was because after the divine war began, the gods of both sides would also have a head-on battle. Therefore, personal strength was very important. It was related to his life and death. Chapter 15 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio To explore all areas within a range of dozens of kilometers required a lot of manpower. Especially for a troop like the orcs whose agility was not high. The disadvantages were especially obvious when it came to spying for information. Three days passed in a row, but Lorne did not get the information he wanted. Instead, on the night of the third day, a strange mouse appeared in the territory of the Monde tribe. It stood in the forest, its scarlet eyes were staring at the situation in the tribe. Due to the visibility at night and the complexity of the environment, the orcs left behind did not notice the uninvited guest. After observing for a while, the strange mouse quickly fled toward the northwest direction of the forest. It ran for dozens of kilometers. Finally, it entered a valley. In this valley, there was a large group of stone buildings. These kobolds were very cautious. They used moss-covered stones to build houses, which could effectively resist the prying from the air. This was also the main reason why the orcs¡¯ red bird had no results. The mouse entered a huge stone cave. Inside, there was a group of terrifying kobolds that were currently prostrating in front of an altar. On the stone pillar of the altar, there was a white mark. It was a symbol of faith. This also meant that this tribe was the birthplace of a god¡¯s divine kingdom. The big and tall kobold that groveled at the very front communicated with the mouse briefly before heading towards the stone pillar and began to pray. The next moment¡­ Snowflakes started to fall inside the stone cave, and a terrifying pressure swept through the tribe. The god of this divine kingdom had descended. After listening to the kobold¡¯s narration, he received a very crucial piece of information. ¡°After such a long time, I¡¯ve finally discovered a new divine kingdom.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve really been waiting for this for a long time¡­¡± Dorgus stood above the divine kingdom and looked towards the depths of the forest in the southeast direction. A cold smile gradually appeared on his face. At this moment, he was in a very happy mood. It had been four years since he became a god and established his divine kingdom in the world of believers. But in such a long time, he had never encountered another god. And there had never been any war between the divine kingdoms. This made him very depressed because he had felt the benefits of the divine war from his friends in the world of gods. The god-friend had discovered another divine kingdom near his. After confirming that the other party was born for less than half a year, he destroyed the newly born divine kingdom as quickly as possible. After ending the war, the god-friend plundered dozens of believers in one go. The military strength of his divine kingdom had immediately rose to a whole new level. Not only that¡­ When he killed the enemy god, he also plundered the god¡¯s divine personality. Although this newly born god did not condense any divine power, after killing him, the divine personality would overflow one or two traces of divine power. This divine power could be absorbed by the victor and refined into his own divine power. Moreover, the divine personality that he obtained could also be sold in the world of gods. In the world of gods, divine personality were very rare and in demand. Even the lowest quality divine personality could be sold for millions of Power of Faith in the world of gods. Therefore, the strength of Dorgus¡¯s god-friend had greatly increased, and even his divine kingdom had undergone a great leap forward. Dorgus had heard this story several times from his mouth. To be honest, Dorgus was very jealous. This was because his god-friend was only a god that had been born less than four years ago. In terms of age, he was much younger than Dorgus. However, because he had such a lucky experience, his divine kingdom and his own strength were much stronger than Dorgus¡¯s. How bad Dorgus was feeling! But sometimes, luck was very important. Dorgus had yearned for three years, but he had never encountered such a lucky event. He even had lost such thought. But just a few days ago, he accidentally found traces of a divine kingdom. And today, he had obtained the exact location of that divine kingdom. ¡°There are less than 20 orcs, and most of them are very young. From this, we can judge that this is a new god that was born less than half a year ago.¡± ¡°Even if we include some fighters, the number should be within 40.¡± ¡°The strength of this divine kingdom is too weak.¡± Dorguss laughed disdainfully. Different from the other party, he was a god that had been born for four years. In this Place of Origin, he was considered one of the earliest ones. Although his divine kingdom didn¡¯t have much special income during these four years, his followers were kobolds. In four years, it was enough for the kobolds to give birth four times, and each could have four to seven kobolds. And kobolds had the ability to give birth after two years old. Just these few years of reproduction had allowed his divine kingdom to have more than 550 kobolds. Of course, 300 of them were born six months ago and had just reached the growth stage. Although they were slightly weak, they were numerous. All of them added up to a powerful force. But the Kobolds also had a drawback. That was their intelligence was very low, even lower than that of the savage orcs. Due to this, they produced very low faith values. And it was difficult to increase their faith values. Although it had been more than four years, there were only 17 fanatic believers. There were about 53 devout believers,130 true believers, and the remaining 350 were all shallow believers. Moreover, the kobolds provided fewer places of worship than other races. Therefore, the amount of Power of Faith received each year was not as much as he had imagined. In the first two years, it was only around 150,000. In the second two years, it was slightly more, around 300,000. Fortunately, the profits in the following two years were relatively high. Therefore, a few days ago, Dorgus successfully gathered one million Power of Faith, and he used it to successfully condense a trace of divine power. It had been four years, and he had only condensed a trace of divine power. Thinking of this, Dorgus couldn¡¯t help but sigh. If this speed continued, when would he be able to expand his divine kingdom and raise his divine status? It was indeed a long way to go. But fortunately, he had a chance now. His first divine kingdom war was about to start, and his target was a new divine kingdom with less than 40 people. This was a gift from the Goddess of Luck. Thinking of this, Dorgus no longer hesitated, he directly passed down the oracle. Start the Divine War! Chapter 16 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Start the divine war!¡± An incomparably loud voice resounded throughout the kobold tribe. All the kobolds who heard the voice became extremely excited. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time. As a race with extremely low intelligence, the kobolds¡¯ wild instincts were more obvious. They therefore yearned for killing even more. ¡°Roar! Roar! Roar!¡± ¡°For the glory of our god!¡± ¡°Tear them apart!¡± ¡°Chew their bones!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± Under the summon of the kobolds¡¯ leader, all the kobolds gathered together. In addition, it was worth mentioning that the kobolds weren¡¯t the only race in this divine kingdom. There were also some rat monsters and wild wolves. Just like the red birds of the orc tribe, these rat monsters and wild wolves were only wild beasts and were not qualified to become believers. Although they were not believers, wild beasts had a certain degree of combat ability. When they formed a scale, they could also cause a strong impact on the target. This was what Dorgus thought. He perfectly took advantage of the number of kobolds to try his best to tame the wild beasts and increase the army¡¯s ability in the divine kingdom. Apart from that, he had another thing to rely on. Immediately after the war command was issued, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the cave of the middle of the cliff. It moved quickly through the air at an extremely fast speed. It was a long-wing flying dragon. It was huge in size and had a wingspan of more than 10 meters. There was a pair of small sharp claws similar to a bat in the middle of the wing. And there was a huge beak that looked very strange on its face. Its sharp claws were its most powerful weapon. With its powerful claws, it could easily tear apart ordinary steel. ¡°Roar!¡± The long-wing flying dragon circled in the air and roared. Although it was only the lowest level sub dragon, it was the best among Tier Two creatures. At its current stage, the long-wing flying dragon was a very powerful species. At the very least, Tier One creatures like the kobolds and orcs would be easily killed by it. ¡°There are more than 500 kobolds and a Tier Two long-wing flying dragon, there shouldn¡¯t be any accident.¡± Dorgus had such confidence. When he saw the hundreds of troops gathered, he saw the Goddess of Victory waving at him. He even began to think about how to distribute the spoils of war. He didn¡¯t care about the orc believers. What Dorgus really cared about was the divine personality of the other party. After killing a god, he would at least be able to obtain several million Power of Faith. When the time came, he would use this money to buy a large amount of resources to make the kobolds stronger, and then develop peacefully for a few years. When the number of kobolds exceeded 2,000, he would be able to expand the exploration of the surrounding forest again. The more Dorgus thought about it, the more excited he became. This battle would be the battle of his rise. Even if he reached his most glorious moment in the future, he would still remember everything that happened today. ¡­ That night, the kobold tribe went out in full force. Hundreds of them marched through the forest. Just like when the kobolds attacked the orc tribe, this time, the Monde tribe would face the challenge of life and death once again. Dorgus used his god¡¯s perspective to lead the team. In the world of believers, gods could not directly intervene in the war between the divine kingdoms. If he could directly attack the believers, Dorgus could use his ice and snow divine power to easily kill these Tier One creatures. As for when the gods would be able to go out? Only by using the believers as a bridge. It was when his own believers charged into the enemy¡¯s divine kingdom, the gods could use their connection with the believers to directly descend into that region and start a battle with the enemy gods. ¡°For me, not killing believers is a good thing.¡± ¡°As long as I quickly kill the enemy god, the believers¡¯ fighting spirit will instantly drop. At that time, I can easily recruit the remaining believers into my divine kingdom¡­¡± Within the temple, a confident smile appeared on Dorgus¡¯s face. At this moment, on his palm, there was an ice and snow tornado spinning. Ever since he condensed his divine power, he could clearly feel that he had a very clear understanding of the power in his divine personality. The power of ice and snow had been raised to an extremely powerful level. If he were to make a comparison with four years ago, he was now in the sky, and the previous was on the ground. They were not on the same level at all. It was precisely because of this understanding that Dorgus became more confident in this war. It was simply so. Under the command of Dorgus¡­ This large team of several hundred people quickly charged into the forest dozens of kilometers away. When they entered an area of about 30 kilometers, a red bird circled the forest around them, and then disappeared into the forest. ¡­ ¡°Nearly 600 kobolds?¡± Lorne did not have much of a reaction when he heard this news. Although there were many of them, there were currently 43 Elite level monsters among the Monde orcs, and 11 of them were Tier Two creatures. In terms of combat strength, the Monde orcs were much stronger than the other party. Moreover, among the Tier One monsters, the kobolds¡¯ combat ability was relatively low. Most of the time, they won by numbers. Therefore, there was no need to worry too much about the kobold legion. As for the long-wing flying dragon that the enemy had¡­ Although it was considered a relatively powerful species among Tier Two creatures, the orcs were not afraid of it. The only thing they needed to worry about was the long-wing flying dragon¡¯s flying ability. This type of sky-type soldier was rather troublesome. Without long-range equipment, it would be difficult for the ground troops to deal with the enemy¡¯s attacks. ¡°It seems that this is a god that has been born for a few years¡­¡± Lorne estimated the number of the other party¡¯s believers in his heart and roughly knew the length of time after the god was born. It should be around four to five years. If the divine kingdom was developing at a normal speed, it was very likely that this god had also condensed divine power. This was something that needed to be guarded against. After all, Lorne had only condensed the divine power for a year. If his opponent had condensed divine power for a longer period of time than he had, it would be troublesome. However, Lorne still felt that he had an advantage. Because he had a multi-attribute divine personality. As the God of Thunder and Fire, Lorne¡¯s combat strength was much stronger than a god with a single-attribute divine personality. If the power of the divine power was very close, it would depend on the god¡¯s understanding of power, as well as factors such as the suppression of power attributes. Lorne had a certain level of confidence in these two aspects. He looked towards the northwest with a determined gaze. There was a commotion there, and countless birds were alarmed. They were coming! Chapter 17 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Roar! Roar!¡± All the orcs of the Monde tribe gathered together. They were all strong and had huge axes in their hands. Their eyes were filled with fighting spirit. After the Orc Chief received the order from god, he raised his staff facing everyone. ¡°The false god¡¯s believers have arrived!¡± ¡°Believers of the God of Thunder and Fire, go and kill! Let the glory of our god shine on the entire world!¡± The Orc Chief gave the order to fight. Immediately, all the orcs raised their weapons. ¡°Kill!!!¡± The Monde orcs let out furious roars, and their battle cries were soaring into the sky. The Elite orcs that had evolved to Tier Two opened their protruding jawbones, and their thick fangs were terrifying. Their bodies were much larger than ordinary orcs. Standing in the middle of the crowd, they looked like giants. Furthermore, they were wearing heavy armor. With the additional huge battle axe that was several meters long, such a huge and heavy aura gave off an intense visual impact. Under the command of the Orc Chief, these strong orc warriors were hidding in the surrounding forest. Since the enemy dared to charge at them so brazenly, they must not be allowed to return. None of the believers of the false god was allowed to leave! ¡­ ¡°As expected, they are ridiculously weak.¡± Dorgus¡¯s kobolds had already arrived at the target location. He didn¡¯t waste any time and directly gave the order to launch a full-scale attack. Since it was a surprise attack, they couldn¡¯t give the enemy a chance to catch their breath. Taking down the battle in one go was the perfect example of a surprise attack. ¡°Roar! Roar! Roar!¡± Countless kobolds let out furious roars. They tore open the wooden fence and rushed out, charging into the territory of the Monde tribe. In an instant, hundreds of kobolds charged in, and they began to charge into the surrounding houses. However, they did not discover any traces of the orcs. ¡°In the face of absolute strength, any strategy is meaningless!¡± ¡°Baza, go destroy their temple!¡± Dorgus wasn¡¯t worried at all. He directly ordered the kobold leader to lead the warriors to destroy the temple that symbolized the divine kingdom. Without the temple, the strength of these orcs and their god would be affected. At that time, they would be able to win the war easily. Before long, the kobolds had already invaded the core of the territory. But just as they were about to destroy everything¡­ The next moment! From the surrounding buildings, dozens of rough orcs rushed out. Each of them was extremely tall, with two thick fangs protruding from their jawbones. The huge battle axes in their hands were swung by them, and they directly cut the kobolds beside them into two halves. ¡°Elite monsters?!¡± Dorgus¡¯s eyes widened. The group of ferocious orcs in front of him shocked him. They were actually a group of strong Elite orcs! And there were dozens of them! How was this possible! An Elite monster could easily deal with more than 10 kobolds at the growing stage. If that was the case, his kobold army would suffer heavy losses. Fortunately, these orcs alone were not enough to overturn the entire army. Although their individual strength was very strong, they would definitely die under the attack of hundreds of kobolds. Moreover, there was the help of the long-wing flying dragon in the air. ¡°Destroy them!¡± Dorgus looked at the battlefield in front of him and shouted coldly. In the next moment, a huge black shadow appeared in the sky. It charged directly at an orc that was fighting. Its powerful claws swiped fiercely, and an orc¡¯s head left its body and exploded in the air. Although the Elite monsters were strong, they were completely vulnerable in front of a Tier Two soldier. With the addition of a Tier Two long-wing flying dragon, the kobolds were excited and once again launched a crazy attack. ¡­ At the same time¡­ Lorne looked at the long-wing flying dragon that was attacking in all directions in the sky and could not help but feel surprised. The opponent actually had a long-wing flying dragon! Although this was only an inferior Tier Two dragon¡­ Its strength was no different from an ordinary Tier Three soldier. Moreover, it was a flying object and could launch attacks from the sky against targets on the ground. It had a natural combat advantage. Especially on the current battlefield. The weapon of the Monde orc was an axe. It was very difficult to cause any significant damage to the long-wing flying dragon. This thing could only be targeted by archers and mages. But there was no need to worry. As this was only a normal-blooded flying dragon, in front of a strong Tier Two elite orc, it was not an opponent that could not be dealt with. ¡°Kill!¡± Lorne gave the final order to the Orc Chief. After receiving the order, the Orc Chief immediately walked out of the temple. He was a Tier Two soldier, and he was huge. He was taller than an ordinary orc by half its height, and twice the height of a kobold. When he appeared, the kobolds was hesitant for a moment. However, their faith in god drove them to go crazy again. They opened their bloody mouths and attacked the orcs. ¡°There¡¯s actually a Tier Two creature!¡± Dorgus was a bit surprised. However, he didn¡¯t have much of a reaction. Among the Tier Two soldiers, the long-wing flying dragon was the most powerful existence. This orc was no match for it. Speaking of which, Dorgus was feeling being lucky. If he didn¡¯t discover a long-wing flying dragon egg a year ago, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to obtain such a powerful Tier Two soldier. And without this long-wing flying dragon soldier, he might not be able to take down this orc tribe. However¡­ The Goddess of Luck was kind to him. A sinister smile appeared on Dorgus¡¯s face. He had the long-wing flying dragon as a powerful soldier, so taking down this orc tribe wasn¡¯t a problem at all. This war between the divine kingdoms¡­ He would definitely win! Just as Dorgus was secretly delighted¡­ Suddenly! His pupils constricted. The initial joy was instantly taken over by endless fear. Even the kobold warriors who were fighting had expressions of fear in their eyes. They were frightened. They were so frightened that their bodies could not help but tremble. Following their eyes, they could see a group of huge orcs walking out of the surrounding forest. Each of them was nearly three meters tall, and each of them was wearing black armor and holding a huge battle axe in their hands. The small and skinny kobolds standing in front of them were like a cub. Their muscles and body size were not at the same level. When these ¡®giants¡¯ entered the battlefield from all directions, the kobolds could not help but take a few steps back, fearing these terrifying orcs from their bloodline. ¡°Tier Two Elite!¡± Dorgus¡¯s expression suddenly changed. Through the kobolds¡¯ vision, he could clearly determine the quality of these orcs. They were all Elite Tier Two creatures! There were eleven of them! Chapter 18 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio It¡¯s over. It¡¯s completely over. The kobolds alone were no match for these orcs. Even the long-wing flying dragon couldn¡¯t help. There¡¯s a saying which said that ¡®the defeat is like the collapse of a mountain¡¯. Once the kobolds were wiped out, leaving only the long-wing flying dragon behind would not be able to turn the tide of the battle. ¡°Believers of the God of Thunder and Fire, use your most fanatical states to fight!¡± ¡°Slaughter all the believers of this false god!¡± The Orc Chief raised the magic staff in his hand. In the next moment, all the orcs around him had bloodshot eyes as they entered their most frenzied battle states. This was the effect of the divine spell, fanaticism. Lorne gave the Orc Chief a divine spell specifically to control the situation of large-scale wars. Now, this divine spell had elevated the orc warriors¡¯ states to an unprecedented level. The battle between believers was very important. As long as a high spirit combat unit could maintain an exciting state, the combat power they produced would enough to rival their enemies several times more On the other hand, for some soldiers that did not display the fighting spirit, their combat power on the cruel battlefield would be even less than half of their combat power. On this battlefield, two scenes appeared at the same time. The orc warriors were incomparably fanatical. The huge battle axes in their hands were like the scythe of death, crazily reaping the lives of their opponents. On the contrary, the kobold troops that were excited earlier were now cowering, and their combat strength was dropping like a precipice. Therefore¡­ The situation on the entire battlefield was extremely obvious. Led by the Tier Two orc, the Monde orcs fought back frantically. They had never thought of capturing these kobolds and turning them into their own captives. As the number of orcs was limited, they couldn¡¯t watch over these kobolds. Moreover, when the god of the opposing divine kingdoms still had the consciousness to resist, it was very difficult for their believers to subdue them. Lorne therefore didn¡¯t stop. Let¡¯s just win the war now. As for the spoils, only the ultimate victor could think about them. He was not a victor yet. After all, the fighting power of the other side¡¯s divine kingdom could still be a lot. ¡­ ¡°Pfft!¡± The orcs raised their battle axes and swung their great bone clubs, blowing the heads off the kobolds. Red and white mixed liquid spilled all over the battlefield. Hot blood spilled on the bodies of all the orcs, and their weapons were also covered with the minced meat of the kobolds. Although the number of kobolds was large, in such a battle, the number quickly decreased. When the situation had almost come to a standstill¡­ The Orc Chief¡¯s gaze looked at the figure in the sky who was attacking in all directions, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. Those who dared to tarnish my god¡¯s glory, I would not allow you to be so impudent! Never thought that just because you¡¯re an aerial soldier, we couldn¡¯t do anything to you! ¡°Gather!¡± The Orc Chief summoned a few Tier Two orc warriors and had them gather all the weapons that had fallen to the ground. His method of fighting was very simple, and that was to throw. Under the command of the Orc Chief, a few Tier Two orcs grabbed a few strange-looking weapons. And then! They threw them with all their might! The strength of the Tier Two orcs was exceptionally strong. The weapons that were thrown with all their might were like cannonballs that flew into the sky. Although the hit rate was very low, as long as it was able to hit the long-wind flying dragon once, and it would definitely receive a heavy blow. ¡°Boom, Boom, Boom¡­¡± One after another, wooden spike weapons were thrown at the long-wing flying dragon. The monster immediately could not attack the orcs anymore. It began to dodge the attacks with all its might. However, even though it tried its best to dodge, it was still hit by one or two projectiles in the end. The projectiles that carried a huge amount of power caused the long-wing flying dragon to suffer a lot of injuries. Although it was not that fatal, there were too many projectiles. The Tier Two Elite orcs did not do anything else besides using their weapons to attack it in this manner. There was no way to dodge all of them. Especially now that the sky was dark, the smaller weapons could not be detected in time. The long-wing flying dragon was suffering. If it was not a believer, it would definitely leave this place and seek refuge in a safe area. However, its faith made it unable to do so. In the war of the divine kingdom, it had to fight for the glory to the god. This was also the key to cause its death. A few wooden spears were thrown over by the orc warriors. Due to the principle of the javelins, these wooden spears flew very quickly and were extremely powerful. When the wooden spears hit it, they actually tore the thick armor on its abdomen and pierced into its flesh. ¡°Roar!¡± The long-wing flying dragon let out a shrill cry. Two wooden spears pierced into its abdomen. This was a fatal injury that made it bid farewell to the sky. At this moment, the long-wing flying dragon was like an airplane that had lost its power. Its head was facing the ground as it spun and fell. The moment it fell, a few orc warriors rushed over. The battle axes in their hands directly cut off its wings. However, the orcs didn¡¯t kill it completely. The orc holding the magic staff even burned its wounds with a torch to prevent it dying from blood loss. The long-wing flying dragon looked at the battlefield at its verge of death. The battle was nearing its end. The orcs didn¡¯t kill the kobolds anymore. Instead, they severely injured them. The kobolds, who were completely unable to move, were dragged away by the orcs. In the end, they were all thrown onto the square. The corpses were all dragged to other places. As for the fanatic believers among the kobolds¡­ They were all killed in the end. The fanatic believers¡¯ faith in god had already seeped deep into their bones. There was no way to reverse it. Even if god asked them to cut off their own flesh piece by piece, they would not hesitate at all. Therefore, these crazy believers were completely worthless. No matter how talented they were, they could not be made to work for you. ¡°Leave 10 people to guard them. The rest follow me!¡± The Orc Chief shook away the blood on his magic staff and led most of the orcs towards the northwest. Now, they were going to destroy the false god¡¯s faith! They were going to wipe out all traces of the false god. Only in this way could the kobolds be enlightened and become believers of the God of Thunder and Fire. Chapter 19 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Defeated¡­¡± Having witnessed everything with his own eyes, Dorgus stopped in the empty divine kingdom in a daze. He had lost. He had lost completely. All his believers had been defeated, and even the long-wing flying dragon had been captured alive. At the moment, he no longer had any believer. Moreover, when the divine kingdom was at war, the coordinates of his divine kingdom had been clearly sensed by the other party. In addition, there was only one temple¡¯s coordinates. Therefore, he could only wait for the other party¡¯s arrival at his current location. Dorgus¡¯s face was pale, and his entire body was trembling. What was the outcome of losing the divine war? His mind was filled with this question. Finally, a clear handwriting enveloped his entire world. Die! There were no accidents. Just like what he had thought before. The god who had defeated him must have thought the same. He would destroy his divine kingdom, destroy the temple that symbolized faith, and then kill him as a god. He would extract divine power, take away the divine personality and make it the nutrients for the other party to become stronger¡­ Thinking of this, Dorgus¡¯s felt totally hopeless. Only at this moment did he realize his mistake. He was the one who had discovered the location of the enemy¡¯s divine kingdom first. He should have used this information to plan. However, he chose the most foolish method. He gathered his men that night and attacked the enemy¡¯s divine kingdom at night. He should have chosen to attack during the day. This was because during the day, most of the warriors in the tribe would leave the tribe. At that time, the orc tribe might only have half of its strength. If that was the case, with the kobold legion and the long-wing flying dragon¡¯s assault, they would definitely be able to destroy the enemy¡¯s temple. Without the temple, the believers¡¯ combat power would be greatly weakened. Even the power of the god would be weakened. If that was the case, the one who lose would definitely not be himself. ¡°I was too greedy.¡± Dorgus smiled bitterly in despair. Everything was over now. The other party was already on the way. When the time came to overthrow the temple, he would be the one weakened. How could he defeat that god in such a state. Unless.. He didn¡¯t condense any divine power¡­ Dorgus raised his head. He seemed to be grasping at the last straw. From the number of believers, he could confirm that this god had only been born about a year ago. Although he had many Tier Two orc believers, it could have been due to good luck when he was just born. It was just like how he discovered the long-wing flying dragon egg. If that was the case¡­ Then this god must not have condensed divine power! The Power of Faith he had obtained should have been already used to buy equipment for his believers! ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ¡°That must be the case!¡± Hope reignited in Dorgus¡¯s heart. Although his divine kingdom had been destroyed, as long as he won the war between the gods, he could still keep his life. In the future, he would have the chance to return to the world of believers and re-establish his own divine kingdom. ¡­ Soon after¡­ The Monde orcs crossed a distance of 50 kilometers and arrived at this area. There were no more believers of the false god here. ¡°Go to the temple!¡± The Orc Chief led his people directly to the other party¡¯s temple. Then, without any hesitation, he ordered his people to completely destroy the building. Without the temple, the divine kingdom lost its faith. At the same time, he could convert the captured kobolds to accept the same faith as himself. After doing all this¡­ The Orc Chief led the other orcs to stand on the ruins of the temple. Then, he raised his hands toward the sky and began to pray loudly. ¡°Great God of Thunder and Fire, your humble believers have suppressed the believers of the false god. The faith of the false god has been overturned. Please come here and purify everything here¡­¡± The ORC Chief did not know the meaning of this ritual, but since it was the will of the god, he would naturally carry it out without hesitation. And the moment he finished speaking, the sky began to be covered by dark clouds, and thunder began to explode in all directions, as if the world had been destroyed. Then, a mighty divine might descended. In a parallel space that the orcs could not see, Lorne¡¯s real body descended. In that parallel world, Lorne seemed to have walked from the universe. He took a step forward and arrived in the sky. Standing in the sky, he was like a supreme god, looking down at the entire world and a human figure on the ground. The moment he appeared¡­ Endless sky fire spewed out, completely covering the entire sky. The white clouds in the sky turned into flames, and the entire world was rendered into an apocalyptic scene. This was the power of god. It was a terrifying divine might that was enough to destroy the entire world. ¡°Flames?¡± Dorgus also flew up and came to the opposite side of Lorne. It was a little out of Lorne¡¯s expectations that he did not feel much fear. Logically speaking, he should be very fearful when he faced with such a high probability of dying. He did not know what he had that he could rely on. Lorne did not underestimate his opponent because of his great advantage. On the contrary, he was very cautious and did not attack rashly. On the other hand, Dorgus looked at his divine power attribute disdainfully. His opponent was fire, while he was ice and snow. If they were of the same quality, ice and snow could greatly reduce his opponent¡¯s attack. From this aspect, he still had an advantage. Thinking of this, Dorgus also released his power. Immediately, the surrounding temperature began to drop drastically. The ground was gradually covered by ice, turning into an ice field. Around Dorgus, there was a snowstorm circling, blocking everything that tried to get close to him. Obviously, the power that Dorgus released was no different from Lorne¡¯s. Even if the temple was destroyed, his understanding of the divine personality attribute over the years would allow him to barely fight Lorne. ¡°It seems that your strength is only so-so.¡± Dorgus laughed coldly. In fact, since he released his power, he had been using the power of ice and snow to erode Lorne¡¯s body to test the strength of his flames. After a few rounds of testing, Dorgus had a clear judgment. The God of Fire in front of him also hid his power. If he released all of it, it would completely suppress his power of ice and snow. This was the effect of the destruction of the temple, so it was normal for it to be suppressed. But fortunately, Dorgus still had a trace of divine power to use. If he used this trace of divine power to fight, he would definitely be able to turn the tide of the battle to win the battle! At the thought of this, Dorgus suddenly launched an attack. He rushed out quickly, and in almost an instant, he crossed a hundred miles. At the same time, his palm turned into a hand knife, and a crystal clear ice blade quickly froze on it, intending to cut off Lorne¡¯s head in one go! Chapter 20 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The power of a god surpassed the knowledge of mortals. Even a single thought could destroy a hundred miles of land. If a God were to intervene in the world of believers, before long, this world would be completely changed inevitably in tatters. Therefore, under the special rules, a God could not directly act in the world of believers. Even if the gods fought with each other, they would do it in the special parallel space and wouldn¡¯t cause a destructive blow to the world of believers. Therefore, the two gods didn¡¯t hold back. Fire and ice, the two powers covered thousands of land, making this world appear to be on the verge of destruction. Swoosh! Dorgus took the initiative to attack, bringing with him a monstrous storm. He condensed an ice blade in his hand, and when he thrust it out, his surrounding space was frozen as well. That was the most fundamental ice element between heaven and earth. Even if a god¡¯s body came into contact with it, the body would be frozen into a block of ice, sealed in ice forever. But Lorne did not retreat. He clenched his fists and charged forward. Endless fire energy soared into the sky, dyeing half of the sky behind him red. Boom! The monstrous flames and the violent snowstorm collided. Instantly, the world trembled. The energy storm swept across the vast land like a wave, dispersing the smoke and clouds. Crack! The sound of glass shattering rang out. In the face-to-face confrontation with Lorne, the ice blade in Dorgus¡¯ hand was shattered. Even if he used his most powerful ice power, he could not break through Lorne¡¯s flame fists. On the contrary, after gritting his teeth and enduring, Dorgus was sent flying for thousands of kilometers by the surging power of flames. In this confrontation, three of Dorgus¡¯ ribs were broken, and his arms could not help but tremble. ¡°Ah!¡± A furious roar sounded. Dorgus was unwilling to die in such a way, so he launched a crazy counterattack once again. At this moment, the snowstorm became more and more intense. It was incomparably violent as it struck the land below, destroying the mountains within thousands of miles. If this were in the world of believers, just the aftermath of such a battle would have caused all the believers of the two gods to disappear from this world. ¡­ ¡°No wonder the gods in the world of gods are so hot-blooded. The battles between gods are so enjoyable.¡± Lorne also erupted with the power of flames in his body and fought against Dorgus. But he was different from his opponent. Lorne was extremely relaxed on this battlefield. His opponent¡¯s strength was much weaker than he had imagined. To be more precise, it was the divine personality attribute of God of Thunder and Fire that was too powerful. Lorne was the God of Thunder and Fire, with two divine power attributes. His original power was much stronger than ordinary gods¡¯. But Lorne didn¡¯t expect his strength to be much stronger than he had imagined. Even if he only used one type of power now, he could completely suppress this god who had been born four to five years ago. ¡°Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom¡­¡± Explosions resounded in the sky, and waves of energy swept in all directions. It was like a violent tsunami in the sky. An hour later. There were also some minor injuries to Lorne¡¯s body. There were black marks on his arms and chest, which were the cold poison that had invaded his body. But he did not want to retreat at all. He confronted his opponent again and again and fought with his opponent in the most fanatical state. He had an extremely excited smile on his face as if every muscle in his body was eager to fight so that his attacks were extremely fierce. Dorgus was already covered in wounds. There was nowhere uninjured of his body. Almost half of his bones were broken, and his muscles were charred by the terrible flames. He had been numb to the pain. Five fingers of his left hand were broken, and his right hand was as dry as charcoal. It was so dry that there was no trace of water. Dorgus could no longer launch an attack. At this moment, it was difficult for him to even float in the air. But Lorne seemed to be at the most heated moment in the battle. He rushed thousands of miles in one step and instantly charged forward. The monstrous flame fists crashed down. Dorgus did not have the time or strength to block it. The image of fire reflected in his pupils became brighter and brighter. Then, the scene turned black. Dorgus disappeared. The next second. In the distance, a huge gully that was hundreds of miles wide and millions of miles long appeared. The scene was extremely shocking! And this was the power of a god. A scene that even the hot-blooded cartoon did not have appeared before Lorne¡¯s eyes. ¡°If an ordinary God is so powerful, then how much more power does a higher god have?¡± Lorne looked at his fist and muttered to himself. When he had never fought before, he hadn¡¯t understood his own power. That was why he had never used his full strength against Dorgus. Instead, he had used a part of his power that was almost the same as his opponent¡¯s. Because of this, he had suffered from some damage. Dorgus¡¯ cold poison had invaded Lorne¡¯s body, wanting to corrode his power. Unfortunately, in front of a god with two divine personality attributes, this cold poison was meaningless. Lorne withdrew his power and dispersed the flames that filled the sky. Then, he flew to the end of the ravine on the ground. Dorgus was lying miserably in the huge pit. His body was full of wounds, and the divine blood spilled on the soil. He was completely unable to move. One of Dorgus¡¯ eyeballs was blown off. The other one was filled with blood. He could barely lift his eyelids. He took one last look at Lorne and then closed his eyes. He seemed to admit defeat. After a series of battles, he had lost to Lorne completely. Both in terms of his divine body and the power of his divine personality, he had been utterly defeated. Now, he was going to die. There wouldn¡¯t be any miracle. Lorne floated by his side. Flames condensed in his hands again, wanting to give this opponent one last blow. But at this moment¡­ Suddenly! Dorgus opened his eyes abruptly. The power in his body had also burst out beyond his peak power. It was the divine power he had condensed a while ago. Now, he was going all out, wanting to kill this opponent in one blow. Using divine power to drive the power of the divine personality would produce an extremely powerful effect! This was Dorgus¡¯ last trump card. He had been hiding, even willing to let his opponent beat him until his last breath. All these efforts are for the sake of waiting for this perfect opportunity. When the enemy thought that he was sure to win, a sudden launch of an attack would have the highest success rate. Dorgus had always thought so. Go to hell! Chapter 21 When the divine power activated the power of divinity, the explosive power produced was extremely terrifying. An incomparably terrifying storm appeared, and a bone-piercing cold wind seemed to freeze everything in this world! This was the final blow that Dorgus had unleashed. He wanted to use this attack to turn the tide of the battle. But just as he was brimming with confidence, Dorgus saw Lorne smile. The next moment, Lorne turned into a bolt of lightning and instantly appeared behind him. At the same time, he heard a voice that was like a silver needle piercing into his brain. ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for you for a long time.¡± Dorgus¡¯ hair stood on end and the fear of death instantly swept through his entire body. Before he could think, a terrifying white lightning bolt descended from the sky. The destructive power destroyed the snowstorm shield around Dorgus and pierced through his divine body. Like a silver spear, it pierced through the sky and into the Earth. Dorgus, who had been hit, instantly lost his life. The destructive power wreaked havoc in his body and finally turned him into ashes. It was over. Everything was finally settled. Lorne stood where he was and looked at the flashing electric arcs in his hands. ¡°Is this the power of lightning?¡± Although he had a lot of knowledge on the power of divinity, it was not until he used this power did he truly sense how terrifying this power of lightning was. That vast and boundless power was enough to destroy everything in the world. In addition, Lorne had also obtained an understanding of the fusion of lightning and fire during this battle. As long as he can continue cultivating this area and truly fuse lightning and fire, he would obtain even greater power. However, Lorne could not take things lightly even after gaining these achievements. He had to be much more careful in the future. The more Lorne understood the power of the divine, the more he feared them. Lorne¡¯s current power level only placed him at the bottom of this world. The opponents he would meet in the future, the events he would experience, and even the path of cultivation were still very long. He had to be cautious at all times. Whoosh ¡ª Lorne took a deep breath. Then, he set his gaze upon the spot where Dorgus died. There was a mark that looked like a snowflake, floating quietly in the air. This was Dorgus¡¯ divine personality of Ice and Snow. Lorne took the divine personality and pulled out three streaks of snow-white light. This was the divine power contained in the divine personality. If anyone decided to sell it, a trace of divine power would cost around 800,000 power of faith. Three streaks would be worth 2.4 million power of faith. Such an income would be a huge fortune for a god that had only been born for a year. However, divine power was not the biggest gain from this event. What was truly valuable was this divine personality that looked like a snowflake. Lorne focused his gaze on it and a complicated magic array bloomed within his eyes. ¡ª Divine Personality: [ God of Ice and Snow ] Quality: Ordinary Effect: After fusing, you can become the God of Ice and Snow and control the power of ice and snow. ¡ª This was an ordinary divine personality. But because the power of ice and snow is considered more powerful than most, its value was still worth looking forward to. However, just selling it like this made Lorne feel like he was missing out on something. Now that divine personality was so scarce on the market, it definitely meant that it would be of great use in the future. Unfortunately, in the world of gods, discussing topics related to divine personalities was prohibited, so one needed to explore most of the topics by themselves or ask other ancient gods to find out. Lorne thought for a while and finally decided to use this divine personality on himself. Divine personalities were equivalent to divine positions. As long as you obtained the corresponding divine position, you would naturally be able to control the corresponding power. Although Lorne¡¯s divine personality of Thunder and Fire was already very powerful, that did not prevent him from controlling more power. Thinking to this point, Lorne did not waste any more time. He picked up the divine personality of Ice and Snow and absorbed it quickly. In the next moment, the snowflake-like divine personality turned into light and entered Lorne¡¯s body. The addition of the new divine personality immediately brought Lorne some new knowledge. Originally, Lorne only had an affinity for lightning and fire, but now, he also had a very clear understanding of ice and snow. This natural feeling made Lorne subconsciously think that he was the God of Ice and Snow. Lorne immersed himself in this power for a while, then forced himself to withdraw from his apperception. ¡°The same as when a mage control elements¡­¡± Lorne muttered to himself. In his eyes, the power of divinity was the elemental power of the world. Gods and mages had a lot in common. For example, ¡®fire¡¯, ¡®ice¡¯, ¡®thunder¡¯, and so on were the same sort of powers that were controlled by mages in anime from Earth. However, the elemental powers controlled by mages were very superficial. But the elemental powers of the gods were the most fundamental powers of this world. Just like the battle just now, when the gods got angry, they could destroy the whole world, million miles long mountain ranges would disappear in an instant. ¡°This is the power of ice and snow?¡± Lorne reached out his hand and there was an ice and snow tornado on it. The temperature surrounding him also dropped to the extreme. Gods could easily launch an attack of such power, but if the two gods were well-matched, they would need to engage in combat to decide the outcome. This would test the strength of the gods¡¯ bodies and their understanding of combat. Just like the battle between the two of them. Therefore, gods need to train their divine bodies, divine souls, and divine personalities. In order to achieve all of those, one must have sufficient divine power. ¡°I¡¯ll wait until I¡¯m at the City of Gods and refine it.¡± Lorne didn¡¯t use the three strands of divine power. If he trained in the City of Gods, his understanding of this divine power would be clearer and he would be able to fast forward through the boring waiting time. After collecting all his spoils from the battle, Lorne didn¡¯t stay in this dimension for too long. Instead, he took a step forward and returned to the World of Believers. ¡­ World of Believers. Due to the death of Dorgus, his divine kingdom was also destroyed. This place had become a ruin. The orcs stood in the ruins, waiting for god¡¯s next order. Lorne told them to return to the tribe. There was nothing valuable in this place, so there was no need to waste time here. Soon, all the orcs returned to their territories. As the victors, they began to gather around the bonfire to celebrate the victory of this battle. As a god, Lorne also gave these believers a gift. He used the Power of Faith to heal all of the orcs¡¯ bodies. However, the battle was also very fierce. Facing an attack of hundreds of kobolds, 7 orcs in the territory died, including an Elite-Tier monster. Such a loss was quite heavy for the Monde tribe, which had a population of just over 50. However, compared to the kobold tribe, this was not a loss at all. This was because more than 400 kobolds were killed, which was equivalent to four-fifths of their total population. Now, there were only 100 or so kobolds left, all piled up on the square. Besides the kobold, there was also a long-wing flying dragon that was on its last breath. It was the most valuable creature among all the captives. Chapter 22 ¡°It seems that we can have a living sacrifice.¡± Lorne¡¯s eyes were abnormally bright. A living sacrifice was different from an ordinary sacrifice. Its requirements were even stricter and it usually took 10 years for it to be carried out. However, if it was forcefully carried out, it would directly put the lives of all the believers in danger. And as the name implied, a living sacrifice was sacrificing a living creature. After being sacrificed, the living creature would become a disciple that has a higher status than the fanatics. A disciple could bring 100 points of Power of Faith to their god every day. The higher the quality, the higher the increase in the Power of Faith. For example, an elite grade disciple could bring 200 points of Power of Faith to their god every day, which would be equivalent to the amount that 200 cursory believers would bring. Furthermore, disciples could listen to their god¡¯s commands directly. Even if they left their divine kingdom, they could still command from afar. ¡°A living sacrifice should trigger a ¡°100 times reward¡± booster, right?¡± ¡°When that time comes, will I be able to obtain a transcendent-level disciple?¡± Lorne began to ponder. A transcendent level believer could produce four times the amount of faith, which could provide Lorne with 400 points of Power of Faith every day. In addition, transcendent level believers could quickly raise their quality and the amount of Power of Faith they could produce every day would increase. With that, just a single believer could bring Lorne more than 150,000 points of Power of Faith every year. It was exhilarating! However, before the living sacrifice, Lorne still needed to recruit these kobold captives as believers. After that, he would use them to carry out the winged dragon¡¯s living sacrifice ceremony. After all, the orcs already went through a sacrifice, and it hadn¡¯t even been a year yet. If they were to go through another sacrifice, their spirits may be harmed. The orcs didn¡¯t have high intelligence, to begin with. If they were affected again, they would probably degenerate into wild beasts. ¡°Let¡¯s treat them first.¡± To prevent the kobolds from escaping, Lorne specifically asked the orcs to focus on their attacks. Therefore, most of the kobolds were now seriously injured and could not even move. Lorne did not think too much about it and used his Power of Faith right away. Power of Faith could dispel the injuries suffered by the believers. The amount of energy consumed depended on the condition of the injuries. However, Lorne did not heal the kobolds all the way. He only restored their basic ability to move. The orc chief then instructed the orcs to drive the kobolds to the square in front of the temple. ¡°Quick!¡± ¡°Hurry up!¡± ¡°The fake god is dead. You are all slaves of the Monde tribe!¡± ¡°If you want to rid yourself of your slave status, you have to believe in our god and become his believers!¡± The orcs pushed the kobolds and brought them to the front of the temple. This group of kobolds had lost their faith and, with the threat of the orcs, they were all very obedient. More than a hundred kobolds faced the temple and trembled on the ground. The orcs surrounded them and also prostrated themselves. The orc chief knelt in front of the group and began to pray. ¡°Great God of Thunder and Fire, it is you who brought us light, gave us hope, and illuminated our future.¡± ¡°You are the guardian of the Monde tribe.¡± ¡°You are our faith.¡± ¡°You are the supreme existence.¡± Under the leadership of the orc chief, everyone began to pray. The kobolds were no exception. They were now slaves and there was no way out except to submit. The orc chief spread his arms and knelt on the ground. ¡°We are grateful to you. We wish for your divine power to be eternal.¡± ¡°To let your glory shine on the entire world, your humble believers have brought you these ignorant kobolds. They are sheep who have lost their way and yearn for your protection.¡± ¡°Boom!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a solemn and sacred aura enveloped the entire tribe. The temple began to burn with intense flames and thunder rumbled above their heads. All the orcs and kobolds buried their heads on the ground. They are worshipping their god with complete devotion. At the same time, a solemn and grand voice echoed above the Monde tribe. ¡°I, the God of Thunder and Fire, Syltero Mifal Karo Giusto¡­ accept your belief.¡± Along with the sounds of thunder and fire, Lorne¡¯s solemn words were transmitted to every devout believer. And when the kobolds heard the name of their god, totem marks that were the same as the orcs manifested on their foreheads. This was the recognition of their god, which meant that they had become the most devout believers of their god. The kobolds were ecstatic. All the imprints and memories that the fake god left on their bodies were shattered by this totem. The kobolds were now Lorne¡¯s most loyal believers. Because they had experienced a crushing defeat, they feared Lorne¡¯s existence from the bottom of their hearts. Considering that were also pardoned, they naturally respected Lorne even more. It was also at this moment that the totem imprints on the kobolds¡¯ foreheads bloomed with light. A ray of light flowed out from the totem and entered the kobolds¡¯ bodies. Just like the orcs around them, these lost lambs also received blessings from their god. This was an incomparable honor for them. The kobolds¡¯ injuries were all healed. Not only that their strength was greatly enhanced. This was because Lorne¡¯s divine personality was enhanced, so his blessings were also enhanced on his believers. ¡°Great body of lightning and fire, your humble believers thank you for your blessing.¡± Boom! When the kobolds knelt down, Lorne could feel that the communication between him and the group of new believers became more fortified. It was as if these kobolds evolved from cursory believers to true believers. ¡°120 true believers, 16 devout believers!¡± ¡°Now my Power of Faith will double every day.¡± Although the kobolds were of low ranking, there were many of them. Especially the kobolds¡¯ reproductive ability. Producing seven or eight children at once was a speed that the orcs would never be able to catch up to. At this moment, the kobold leader was shocked to find that his spirit greatly improved. Even magical elements that kobolds could not grasp became clear at this moment. This was the same change that the orc chief experienced. It was the prelude to evolving into a Shaman. Under normal circumstances, a god could only transform one believer into a Shaman. But Lorne was different. He was a triple-position god now. In theory, he could transform three believers into Shamans. But now, because there was no suitable candidate, he only had two. One could see that with Lorne¡¯s blessing, the kobold leader who did not have the talent of a spell-caster suddenly became the second Shaman of the Monde tribe. It was unbelievable. Chapter 23 Shamans were intelligent believers. They could control the power of magic. Of course. They could not just rely on themselves. Lorne would have to bless them for them to ascend. After all, magic had always been a sacred and inviolable power in this world. ¡°Thank you, my god, for your blessing!¡± The kobold leader called out respectfully. Behind him, the weak kobolds were also affected by his words and began to revere Lorne even more. The deeper their faith, the more Power of Faith Lorne would get. However, let¡¯s not talk about that for now. The most important thing at the moment was the winged dragon¡¯s sacrifice. That was a creature that was close to Tier-Three. If it was amplified a hundred times, what level would the final product reach? Lorne was looking forward to it. He passed down his divine mandate. He asked the newly promoted kobold leader to lead the kobolds in a live sacrifice. As the orcs had already experienced a sacrifice, a year hadn¡¯t passed yet, so they weren¡¯t allowed to continue this sacrifice for now. Multiple sacrifices would affect the believers¡¯ spirits. However, the first sacrifice would not affect the believers¡¯ spirits. Instead, it would increase their faith in the gods. Furthermore, this was a live sacrifice. Perhaps, this group of mindless kobolds could become true believers. As lowly believers who had been blessed, the kobolds were extremely excited. A group of orcs dragged the winged dragon over. This Tier-Two creature who once stood at the top was now on the verge of death. Its injuries were still very serious. There were at least a hundred wounds on its body and its wings had been sliced in half. However, it still had the bloodline of a dragon. Although it was not pure, its powerful body allowed it to heal. From its defeat until now, only an hour had passed but the wounds on the winged dragon¡¯s body had already started to heal. Unfortunately, the orcs had been watching over it. Whenever its wounds showed any signs of healing, it would receive new attacks. So it didn¡¯t stand a chance. It could only lie in the square, waiting to be sacrificed during the sacrificial ceremony. Looking at the hundreds of people on the square, the winged dragon¡¯s heart was as dead as ash. Not long ago, ss the Holy Spirit, it clearly felt the fall of his god. Its faith completely collapsed at that moment. At this moment, it no longer had any desire to struggle. Other than fearing this unfamiliar god, it had no other thoughts. ¡°Place the sacrifice here¡­¡± Under the command of the orc chief, the winged dragon was placed at the entrance of the temple. Hot blood was flowing over the ground. Powerful blood energy filled the entire square. The orc chief led everyone to respectfully kneel on the ground. After such a fierce battle, his faith in gods became even more resolute. Vaguely. He had reached a threshold. It seemed that he could break through the boundary at any time. Unfortunately, due to his potential, he wasn¡¯t qualified to become a god¡¯s Holy Spirit. After praying respectfully, the orc chief straightened his body and raised the staff in his hand. ¡°I shall strictly obey my god¡¯s order!¡± ¡°Now! Sacrifice this winged dragon to my god!¡± The orc chief shouted loudly. The orcs and kobolds who heard the god¡¯s mandate roared. ¡°Live sacrifice!¡± ¡°Live sacrifice!¡± ¡°Live sacrifice!¡± The Mond orcs roared with incomparable fanaticism. After experiencing their first god war, all the Mond orcs¡¯ faith in the gods had been greatly enhanced. The originally devout believers had now become fanatics. Even the young orcs that were born later had become devout believers of the God of Thunder and Fire after experiencing the war. ¡°Awoooo!¡± In comparison, the kobolds only humbly echoed. There were too many cursory believers among them, and they didn¡¯t dare to make a sound in such an occasion. Under the leadership of the orc chief and the kobold leader, the grand sacrificial ceremony began. The bonfire burned. The winged dragon was placed in front of the temple. All the orcs and kobolds knelt in front of the temple, paying their highest respect to the god. ¡°Great God of Thunder and Fire, you have given us a new life, you have given us hope.¡± ¡°You have illuminated our path!¡± ¡°You are our ancestor!¡± ¡°You are our faith!¡± ¡°You are the supreme existence of the Monde tribe!¡± The orcs prayed with the orc leader, their voices passionate and fanatical. The kobolds lowered their heads and followed the prayer. ¡°We are grateful to you!¡± ¡°We wish for you to be immortal!¡± ¡°Today, your humble believers will sacrifice this winged dragon to you!¡± ¡°We request for your protection and guide the Monde tribe in the right direction!¡± The orc chief opened his hands and raised his magic staff in his hands. At this moment. Boom! An incomparably hot light shot out. Terrifying flames engulfed the entire temple and lit up the sky above the Mond tribe. At the same time, a solemn and holy aura came from all directions. The power of the gods covered the entire Mond tribe. Blazing flames burned! Endless thunderclaps sounded! Snowflakes flew all over the sky! The three types of divine powers fused together and formed a might so powerful that it caused the believers in the entire tribe to fear. The winged dragon raised its heavy eyes. It couldn¡¯t believe what it was feeling. Within that incomparably violent energy, there was an extremely familiar aura. That was Dorgus¡¯ aura! It was the god it once believed in! How was this possible? Wasn¡¯t that god destroyed? The winged dragon looked at the changes in the temple in shock. Even the kobolds were stunned. They also felt the aura of the deceased god. They didn¡¯t know if it was because their uneasy hearts found a sense of belonging, but now they actually calmed down. Their faith in this god was rapidly increasing. Soon, more than half of the cursory believers evolved into true believers at this moment. This was the same as their previous faith. The only difference was the object of their faith. The original Dorgus had become the current Lorne. As for the orcs kneeling in front, they were stunned for a moment, but then they became ecstatic. This was because they could feel that the god they worshiped seemed to have grasped the power of the false god and became even stronger. And a strong god meant that their group of believers had a better future. Therefore, the orcs were all proud of being believers in this god. At the same time, they felt extremely honored for their god to descend here. Chapter 24 ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°You have obtained 50 points of Power of Faith.¡± ¡°You have obtained 200 points of Power of Faith.¡± ¡°You have obtained 200 points of Power of Faith.¡± ¡°You have obtained 50 points of Power of Faith.¡± ¡°¡­¡± As the live sacrifice began, Lorne, who had descended to the world of believers, obtained a large amount of Power of Faith. These beliefs came from the kobolds. They were the main initiators of this live sacrifice. And to Lorne¡¯s surprise, after he had absorbed Dorgus¡¯ power of divinity of Ice and Snow, the kobolds fortified their faith in him and established a thick channel of faith. One minute ago there were only 120 true believers, 16 devout believers, and dozens of cursory believers. Now, all the cursory believers became true believers. Out of the 120 true believers, 60 became devout believers. And out of the 16 devout believers, 10 became fanatics. These kobolds and orcs were low-level creatures with low intelligence, so it¡¯s not hard to obtain their faith. But it was still a pleasant surprise. So many high quality believers could bring more Power of Faith to Lorne. As for the orcs? They were not the main believers of this sacrifice. Therefore, the Power of Faith they brought was limited. But facing such a grand scene, they were still affected by the atmosphere and brought a lot of Power of Faith to Lorne. At this moment! Buzz! Countless rays of light emerged from the kobolds¡¯ bodies. These rays of light enveloped the winged dragon in front of the temple and turned it into a huge light cocoon. Following the solemn and grand prayer, the winged dragon¡¯s body completely merged with the rays of light and punched into the sky. This was the god receiving the live sacrifice! The orcs and kobold didn¡¯t dare raise their heads. They could clearly feel that their god was watching them. Perhaps everyone would soon receive their god¡¯s blessings. At the thought of this, everyone in the square was extremely excited and all prayed reverently. ¡­ Rip! In Lorne¡¯s world, a crack sliced through his space. This was a god¡¯s world that transcended the worshippers¡¯ world and overlapped with the worshippers¡¯ world at the same time! A world that only gods could see. Now, because of the live sacrifice, the winged dragon was lucky enough to descend here. At the same time. A system notification sounded in Lorne¡¯s ears. [ Your believers held a devout live sacrifice ceremony for you! ] [ Your believers sacrificed a Tier-Two winged dragon! ] [ You obtained 5000 points of Power of Faith! ] [ You obtained a Tier-Two normal grade disciple ¡ª a winged dragon! ] The system interface flashed with the notifications from this sacrifice. However, the voice did not stop there. Lorne¡¯s innate skills were activated. A golden panel popped up. Following that was an even louder notification. [ Your followers blood sacrificed a Tier-Two winged dragon. ] [ You obtained 5000 points of Power of Faith! ] [ Due to the ¡°100 times amplification booster¡±, you have obtained 500,000 points of Power of Faith! ] [ You obtained a Tier-Two normal grade disciple¨C a winged dragon! ] [ Due to the ¡°100 times amplification booster¡±, you obtained 100 Tier-Two normal grade winged dragons (or 1 Tier-Two transcendent level ¡°Great Winged Black Scaled Dragon¡±) ! ] ¡ª The system gave Lorne two choices. The first was 100 Tier-Two normal grade winged dragons! For a newly born divine kingdom, the greater the number of troops, the faster the divine kingdom would develop. This was because having more troops had an advantage, which was being able to carry out multiple missions at the same time. 100 winged dragons could instantly occupy the 100-kilometer forest surround them! They could also attack from many directions, helping the divine kingdom rapidly increase its population. Hence, from a normal person¡¯s point of view, this was definitely the most suitable choice for Lorne. But unfortunately, Lorne was a god with dreams. He wasn¡¯t willing to have 100 Tier-Two winged dragons. After all, they were just creatures with ordinary bloodlines, meaning that they were the most common types of troops. They cannot be compared to a transcendent level creature. For a god, a transcendent level creature was something that one did not come across frequently. If you didn¡¯t have enough luck, then you might never be able to obtain a transcendent level believer. Although Lorne had a ¡°100 times amplification booster¡± so he didn¡¯t have to worry about this problem, he was still unwilling to give it up. Rather than having a bunch of kobolds with low combat power, he might as well have a winged dragon. This was what he thought. A truly powerful army could turn the tide of the battle. Especially the flying units. Thinking of this, Lorne did not hesitate. ¡°I choose the Great Winged Black Scaled Dragon!¡± Lorne made his choice. The moment he finished speaking¡­. Suddenly! ¡°Roar! ! !¡± The entire world resounded with the low roar of a dragon. The sound came from within the crack. Lorne looked over. His god eyes pierced through the space and saw a huge flying dragon. It was flying very fast and rushed through the crack excitedly. It came in front of Lorne. The black-scaled dragon was suspended in the air and lowered its head. One could see that it was a young black dragon with a wingspan that stretched more than 20 meters. Her entire body was covered in black scales and ferocious bone spikes grew out of her limbs. Four horns grew out of its huge head and black flames were spewing from them, extending from her head all the way to her powerful tail. Lorn reached out and touched her head, accepting her act of submission. ¡°Grrrrrrr¡­¡± The black-scaled dragon let out a purr and flapped its wings joyfully. It seemed that she had no connection with the winged dragon anymore. She was more like a newborn dragon. After receiving her master¡¯s approval, she was as happy as a little girl who had just become sensible. It is true that this big fellow¡¯s temperament was completely different from her ferocious appearance. ¡°From now on, you shall be called Nia.¡± Lorn gave his first disciple her name. When he gave her the name, a ray of light immediately rose from Nia¡¯s body and her body size grew. Yes, she had evolved! From a Tier-Two creature, she evolved into a Tier-Three creature! Some people might not understand the function of bloodlines. It¡¯s actually very simple. Bloodlines represented potential. Different bloodlines meant that creatures had different levels of potential. For example, Nia¡¯s transcendent-level bloodline meant that as long as she reached adulthood, she would automatically become a powerful Tier-10 creature. And this would just be the minimum tier level. According to the information Lorne received, a creature with transcendent-level bloodlines could reach Tier-13 at most. And in the World of Believers, Tier-14 was the highest level a creature can become. If she took another step, she could ignite the divine fire. Igniting the divine fire meant that she had the qualifications to become a god. At that time, if Lorne gave his disciple a divine personality, she would become a god. Chapter 25 Although Nia only has a transcendent level bloodline, she had the possibility of becoming a god. However, it was still too far away to say that now. Currently, Nia was only Tier-Three. ¡°My first Tier-Three soldier, who also has a transcendent level bloodline. I wonder what her attributes are like?¡± Lorne was looking forward to it. Dragon! Pure blooded dragon! The most powerful flying unit in this world. Their destructive power was extremely terrifying. Even the lowest-ranked winged dragon had extremely destructive power. Not to mention the Great Winged Black Scaled dragon! She belonged to a high-ranked dragon clan. As long as she reached adulthood, she would have the combat strength of a Tier-10 life form. Moreover, unlike other dragons, the Great Winged Black Scaled dragons were immune to high-ranked magic. When facing low-level life forms, this dragon would have an unrefutable chance of winning. Thinking of this, Lorne couldn¡¯t wait to open Nia¡¯s interface. But in the next second, his pupils suddenly constricted. ¡ª [ Name ]: Nia [ Race ]: Great Winged Black Scaled Dragon (high-level dragon) [ Rank ] : Tier-Three [ Grade ] : Transcendent Level [ Occupation ] : Dragon Lord [ Status ] : Infancy [ Attributes ] : Strength 18, Vitality 18, Agility 15.4, Spirit 19. [ Talent ]: Magic Immunity (immune to all spells that are equal to or less than your level) [ Talent ]: Great Winged Black Scaled Dragon (for every level increased, attack and defense skills will increase by 5% based on its original grade) [ Talent ]: Black Flame (all spells have an additional burn effect on the target) [ Skills ]: Offense Lvl 3, Defensive Lvl 3, Resistance Lvl 3, Wisdom Lvl 3¡­ ¡ª ¡°Is this what dragon attributes are like?¡± Lorne marveled. Orcs, by contrast, are inconsequential. A Tier-One orc¡¯s comprehensive attributes score was only 1.5 but the black-scaled dragon before him had a comprehensive attribute score close to 20. There was no way the two could be compared. Other than that Nia also had three other talents. First! [ Magic Immunity ]! This skill allowed her to be immune to all low-level enemy attacks. She was practically a divine weapon that could destroy weak creatures. It was no exaggeration to say that as long as Lorne allowed it, Nia could wipe out the 200 Monde tribe members without suffering any damage. Secondly! [ Great Winged Black Scaled Dragon ]! This talent allowed her to increase her attributes every time she leveled up. Compared to the other troops, Nia¡¯s talent allowed her to have more potential than all the other troops. Finally! [ Black Flame ]! This was a powerful offensive skill. With this talent, all of Nia¡¯s attacks would have special effects. Because the Dragon language has powerful magic, the special effects would also be very impressive. No wonder giant dragons were known as the strongest soldiers, considering that their talents were so powerful. To be honest, this was indeed beyond Lorne¡¯s expectations. Perhaps he had watched the orcs for too long. In addition, he was greatly victorious in the divine war, so he felt that the orcs under him also had very strong combat abilities. ¡°Gulu ~ ~¡± [ Respected master, thank you for giving me my name. ] Nia was still unable to speak in human language. But because she was his disciple, Lorne could understand what she meant. The little fellow felt honored to be his follower. ¡°Go, rest near the Monde tribe and contribute to the expansion of the divine kingdom.¡± ¡°Also remember, before making any decision to attack, you must thoroughly investigate the enemy¡¯s defense and only attack after obtaining my permission.¡± Lorne passed down his mandate and the entire world rumbled. Lightning engulfed the sky and earth, accompanied by a white storm of ice and snow. A great and sacred power enveloped the entire world. ¡°Nia shall obey your will.¡± The black-scaled dragon bowed her head respectfully. At this moment, a crack appeared in the sky. Nia flapped her wings and rushed into the crack. The next second, she appeared in the sky above the Monde tribe. ¡°Dragon!¡± ¡°A black dragon!¡± ¡°A dragon more powerful than a winged dragon!¡± ¡°She has the aura of a Valkyrie. Could she be a believer of my god?¡± ¡°Oh my ¡­¡± Kneeling in front of the temple, everyone was overwhelmed with emotions. That was a dragon! And it was a high-level dragon! The strongest creature in the world! But she was also a believer of their god. It was truly unbelievable. ¡°Great God of Thunder and Fire, your power is endless!¡± ¡°We thank you!¡± ¡°It was your protection that allowed lowly believers like us to survive.¡± ¡°It was you who gave us the flying dragon to ensure our safety¡­¡± The orc chief knelt on the ground and prayed loudly. The orcs and kobolds kneeling behind him also echoed loudly. They were extremely respectful as they thanked Lorne for his gift. To them, the dragon before them was a gift and encouragement from the gods. As the lowest level species in the world, the orcs and kobolds were not qualified to receive the protection of a flying dragon, nor were they qualified to be on the same side as the dragon. However, their god did not despise their birth. He even allowed a high-level dragon to descend among them to protect their safety. This was a great honor. At the same time. Lorne looked down at the entire tribe. Looking at more than 200 worshippers below him, as well as the Great Winged Black Scaled dragon soaring in the sky, Lorne smiled in satisfaction. Even though this flying dragon was still in her infancy, due to her powerful strength, she could annihilate any kingdom that was born within the last five years. And if the same divine war happened again, Lorne wouldn¡¯t even need to send any troops. Just the appearance of this Tier-Three Great Winged Black Scaled dragon was enough to overturn the entire situation. Phew ¡ª Lorne let out a slight sigh of relief. The territory now had a certain level of defense. At least he didn¡¯t have to worry about his safety as much as before. Thinking of this, he didn¡¯t stay any longer. He left the World of Believers and returned to the City of Gods. As for the blessing that he was to give to his believers, it wasn¡¯t actually that black-scaled dragon. But because he hadn¡¯t had the time to buy items yet, he temporarily put that aside. Lorn didn¡¯t start immediately. He had more important things to do now. He must absorb all the wisps of divine power he had obtained as soon as possible to increase his power! In addition, he must fuse the divine personality of Ice and Snow. Lorn needed to analyze the power inside to allow the three attributes to be perfectly fused. When he truly grasped the power brought by the divine personality of Ice and Snow, the three-attribute divine personality would allow his strength to soar again and reach an even more terrifying level. Chapter 26 The City of Gods. After the divine war, Lorne returned to this place as soon as possible. But he did not immediately begin absorbing the divine power. Instead, he left his private castle and came to a huge palace with a long history. This was a high-class place to make friends! Usually, the surrounding gods would come here to exchange information or trade information. Here, you could find a good friend who matched your personality. You could also trade. You could even team up and explore unknown mystical realms. Lorne didn¡¯t think that far ahead. He was just here to familiarize himself with the environment. He sat in a corner. This was the trading area. Most gods who had special items to sell would wait for customers to come here. He also took out a few strands of divine power from his hands. Divine power couldn¡¯t be directly absorbed. The divine power that was taken from other gods was contaminated with complicated energy. It might clash with the energy in your body. So, when a god obtained divine power, it would be purified and then absorbed. And as a new god, it would take a lot of time to purify the divine power. Lorne didn¡¯t have that much time. One day in the World of Gods was equivalent to 24 days in the World of Believers. Close to a month. In other words¡­ If he spent around 15 days in the World of Gods¡­ Then one year would pass in the World of Believers. This cannot be accepted. Ever since this divine war, Lorne had been paying close attention to the development of his divine kingdom. He wanted to develop his kingdom in the shortest amount of time possible. So¡­ Even if he was at a disadvantage, he would exchange his divine power with other gods. A whisp of divine power was condensed from a million Powers of Faith. But in the market, because of the need to purify, a whisp of divine power could only be exchanged for 800,000 Powers of Faith. Lorne chose to accept it. This was an inevitable loss in the race against time. Soon, he made a deal with another god. He sold all three strands of divine power and obtained 2.4 million Power of Faith. Adding up the 500,000 obtained during the live sacrifice and a portion provided by the believers, all of them added up to exactly 3 million Power of Faith ¡°I wonder if I can absorb two strands.¡± Lorne muttered to himself. Although he could condense three strands of pure divine power, in Lorne¡¯s divine kingdom, the additional 100 or so believers were all kobolds with weaker physiques. So he had to improve the physiques of these weak believers. Hence, Lorne bought 200 portions of Tauren Blood Essence from other gods, spending a total of 400,000 points of Power of Faith. The blood essences weren¡¯t high-quality and its effects were limited. It could only strengthen the physique of the kobolds. But that was enough. After all, they were just a group of kobolds. Even if you gave them high-quality blood essence, kobolds foundation would affect the effectiveness, resulting in negative results. On the contrary, such a low-level item was just perfect. ¡­ ¡°I still have 2.6 million Power of Faith¡­¡± Lorne leaned against the gem-encrusted seat and lowered his head in deep thought. Other gods often passed by him. There were giants, elves, undead, demons, orcs, humans, and so on. Their forms were all strange. But none of them could affect Lorne. At this moment, he was looking at the system interface. There was the basic information of the territory on it. ¡ª Divine Kingdom Interface [ Divine Kingdom ]: Cloud Top [ Level ]: Level 1 [ Area ]: 0.25 square kilometers. [ Building ]: Temple 1, Wooden Houses 55. [ Population ]: 213 [ Subordinate ]: Celtic Tolomiphal Karo Chosdo¡­ ¡­ ¡ª One could see that the population of his divine kingdom had already exceeded 200. And because of this year¡¯s development, the divine kingdom¡¯s territory had expanded to 0.25 square kilometers. This distance was calculated based on the buildings in the divine kingdom. Only places where the buildings were connected would be counted as the divine kingdom¡¯s territory. As for the surrounding forest, that was not considered the divine kingdom¡¯s area. Lorne did not care about this. He felt that the current calculation method was very good. At the very least, it would make him feel that he was unremarkable and wouldn¡¯t easily clash with other gods. In addition, the current population of his divine kingdom was 213 people. This should be considered a ¡®small town¡¯ level kingdom. Starting from a village at the beginning to a small town of some scale now, this data made Lorne very happy. As the population increased, the power of faith produced by the divine kingdom also changed dramatically. ¡ª Believer Interface [ Holy Spirit ] : 0 [ Disciple ] : 1 [ Fanatic ] : 58 [ Devout Believer] : 62 [ True Believer ] : 90 [ Cursory Believer ] : 0 [ Shaman ] : 2 ¡ª Race Interface ¡ª This was the Believer Interface. One could see that the believers of Lorne all had very high quality. Fanatics 58, devout believers 62, true believers 90, and there was also one disciple and two Shamans. The status of the Shamans was rather special and they did not belong to the regular believers¡¯ system. If one had to distinguish between the two by the Power of Faith provided, the role of the two lies between the disciple and the fanatic. A true believer would produce 3 points of Power of Faith every day. A devout believer would produce 5 points of Power of Faith every day. A fanatic would produce 10 points of Power of Faith every day. A believer with an elite bloodline would produce twice as much Power of Faith. Among Lorne¡¯s fanatics, 42 of them had an elite bloodline and there were even 10 orcs who had reached Tier-Two. This way, the amount of Power of Faith he received every day would be even greater. Lorne would receive1,680 points of Power of Faith from regular believers every day. In addition, Nia, as a disciple with a transcendent level bloodline, could provide 500 points of Power of Faith every day. The two Shamans added up to 200 points per day. All of them added up to a total of 2,380 points of Power of Faith. If he calculated based on this daily income, Lorne would receive about 860,000 points of Power of Faith every year. This income was several times more than half a year ago. Lorne happily scanned through it and opened the list of races. ¡ª [ Race ]: Monde Orc [ Rank ]: Tier-Two [ Grade ]: Elite [ Job ]: None [ Talent ]: Sturdy Lvl 2, Battle Will Lvl 2. [ Skills ] : Cleave Lvl 2. [ Attributes ] : Strength 3.3, Vitality 3.2, Agility 2.0, Spirit 1.1. ¡ª This was the interface of the strongest orc warrior in the territory. It could be seen that the stats of the Monde orc, which had been upgraded to Tier-Two elite, had received a huge boost. Although the other orc warriors had not been upgraded to Tier-Two, their bloodlines had been upgraded to elite. Naturally, their stats had also received a huge boost. They and the Tier-Two orc warriors were the main forces in future battles. So Lorne had to get some armor and weapons for all of them. Chapter 27 Currently, the territory had 42 elite orcs, and 10 of them already have their own equipment, so he only needed to equip 32 sets of equipment. It was better to buy the simplest Tier-One melee equipment. 14,000 points for a set. Lorne directly spent 448,000 points of Power of Faith. This was equipment for all orcs to wear in the upcoming wars. In addition, he also needed to buy some weapons. Although the kobolds weren¡¯t worth much, they had a lot of people, so they were quite powerful when organized. If they were equipped with decent weapons, their capabilities in battle wouldn¡¯t be any less than other troops. With this in mind, Lorne set his eyes on the spears. Kobolds had low combat awareness. Long weapons could bring them higher combat power. As for crossbows? He should also equip some. However, crossbows were much more expensive than other types of equipment. Especially high-level crossbows. The price was two to three times that of swords, sometimes even higher. Lorn did not buy too many. He purchased 15 sets of the longbows used for firepower suppression, which cost 300,000 points of Power of Faith. The remaining ones were all equipped with spears and sabers. However, considering the limited amount of money, he could only equip 60 people with weapons. These weapons cost 840,000 points of Power of Faith. Apart from that, Lorne also bought some shields. The price of the shields was the same as the longbows. They were considered expensive equipment and cost more than 20,000 points. Although they were expensive, they had to be equipped. After all, he was also worried that the other party may also have longbows. That would cause huge casualties. In the end, Lorne spent 500,000 points of Power of Faith and equipped 20 shields. Just like that, Lorne became poor again. He only had one million points of Power of Faith left in his body. One had to know that a few minutes ago, he was still a rich man with three million points. ¡°The longevity of gods is not unreasonable.¡± Lorn shook his head. A million Power of Faith could only condense one trace of divine power. But to improve his strength, he needed at least a thousand strands of divine power and he also needed to cultivate his body and soul. In this way, the amount of Power of Faith required was somewhat difficult to calculate. At least with Lorne¡¯s current thinking, he did not dare to think about such a terrifying thing. But it was still okay. With this wave of improvement, his strength and the combat strength of his divine kingdom would be greatly improved. Lorne was very happy when he thought of this. Then, he descended into the World of Believers again. Two days had passed here and his believers were rebuilding their territories. As mentioned before, the scope of the divine kingdom was calculated by the buildings within the scope. Therefore, the more buildings there were, the larger the kingdom would be. Lorne was very willing to see this. As for Nia, she often flew out of the divine kingdom these days to explore the surrounding forests. But because she was afraid that she would be discovered by other large-scale kingdoms, she deliberately reduced the scope of her activities and used a step-by-step expansion method to explore the outer forest. Now was the time for her to return to her territory and submit the information she obtained. At this moment, as a disciple, she sensed the arrival of her god. She immediately flew up into the sky. When she passed through the clouds, the world she was in changed. She received Lorne¡¯s permission to come up from the World of Believers to this divine plane that only gods could reach. ¡°Master.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Lorne touched her big head and said, ¡°Did you find anything new?¡± Nia said, ¡°Master, there are no traces of false gods in the surrounding 50 kilometers of forest, but I found some centaurs¡¯ nests.¡± ¡°Centaurs?¡± Hearing the information, Lorne pondered. Truth be told, the number of believers could be increased through enlightenment. He was unsuccessful before because the orcs themselves were not very strong. The monsters they captured were all very low-level and almost did not have intelligence. Therefore, the difficulty of enlightenment was also unprecedentedly high. However, some monsters, due to their level of intelligence, had a high chance of enlightenment. For example, the centaurs. Centaurs were life forms with higher intelligence. Furthermore, they had rich combat experience and were considered natural warriors. Compared to the orcs, the centaurs had greater mobility and group organization. They were the best troops to launch surprise attacks. ¡°How many are there?¡± ¡°About 200.¡± Nia said, ¡°There are four centaur lairs. They are not far away from each other. As soon as battles occur, the centaurs from the other lairs will rush over. Therefore, if we want to conquer them, we have to consider facing 200 centaurs directly.¡± ¡°En¡­¡± Lorne did not mind. He had to capture all these centaurs. Although his divine kingdom did not have a numerical advantage, with Nia around, as a Tier-Three transcendent level soldier and a flying unit, she could control the entire battle. However, Lorne¡¯s only concern now was the centaurs¡¯ enlightenment. If they spent dozens or even hundreds of lives to capture these centaurs, if they were not able to enlighten these centaurs quickly, the kingdom¡¯s combat power would be greatly affected. If they were to encounter another kingdom¡¯s invasion at this time, then the situation would be dangerous. ¡°Nia, keep an eye on the centaurs¡¯ nest and pinpoint their position.¡± ¡°Yes, Master.¡± Lorne did not want to start a war right now. His divine kingdom had just gone through a battle, and it was time for him to recuperate. He could not rush for immediate benefits. Furthermore, he still had unabsorbed Power of Faith in his body and he had not completely grasped the power of his divine personality. Rashly starting a war would only put himself in danger. Thinking of this, Lorne did not stay any longer. He descended upon the Monde tribe. All his believers gathered in the square, prostrating on the ground, waiting for their god¡¯s orders. Lorne said a few encouraging words and then gave them all the equipment he had purchased previously. The orcs received the equipment. They wore armor and held huge battle axes in their hands. Some also held shields. They looked even more steady and fierce, especially when they stood together, their imposing manner made the surrounding kobolds feel terrified. Then, Lorne blessed the kobolds again. He gave them the Tauren blood essence that could improve their physique. The Thunder and Fire marks on the kobolds emitted a ray of light. After it was injected into their bodies, the kobolds¡¯ bodies immediately underwent a huge change. The originally thin and weak kobolds, under the blessing of the light, evolved and their muscles swelled up. Their bodies also became stronger. Even though the blood essence could not allow them to evolve, it was still a great gift to them. Moreover, their god gave them powerful weapons. After receiving the two blessings, all of the kobolds let out rough growls. The expressions in their eyes also became fanatical. Even their faith was greatly enhanced. Chapter 28 City of Gods! Lorne returned to his private castle. Time waits for no one. It was time to start his own tasks. Half a year ago, he condensed his first strand of divine power. And now he was about to condense his second strand of divine power. The difference was that half a year ago when he condensed his divine power, Lorne only grasped the power of thunder and fire. But now, he had a third power. He didn¡¯t know if three divinity attributes would make his divine power stronger. Whoosh ¡ª Lorne let out a long breath, then sat cross-legged in the air. Condense divine power! With the experience from last time, Lorne became very familiar with the movement needed to condense divine power. A million points of Power of Faith instantly condensed into a strand of purple-red energy. This was Lorne¡¯s divine power. It was like a ribbon with purple, red, and white colors. The three colors gathered together and looked very mysterious. ¡°The divine power of three elements!¡± Lorne could feel that there were indeed three powers in this strand of divine power. However, he did not know if it was because he did not have a thorough grasp of the divine personality of Ice and Snow, the white part of the energy strand was very faint. If he did not look carefully, he would have had a hard time even detecting its existence. ¡°The overall quality indeed improved.¡± ¡°If this divine power is used to cast divine spells, it should be able to release even more power.¡± ¡°However, this strand of divine power does not seem to be complete¡­¡± Lorne pondered. He could clearly sense that the power of ice and snow in the divine power was very illusory as if it could not erupt with enough power, and it was not because of the divine personality of Ice and Snow itself. Lorne felt that it was more like an intercontinental missile. If the fuel tank of the missile was not filled, it would not be able to fly the maximum distance. This strand of divine power was in this situation. ¡°Do I have to have more Power of Faith to truly fuse three elements of divine power?¡± Lorne felt that it was possible. If the Power of Faith was the basic material that forms divine power, then when the quality of divine power increased, the demand for the Power of Faith would naturally increase. But unfortunately, Lorne did not have any more Power of Faith in his body. He could not verify this theory, but he did not get held up with his thoughts. The most important thing now was to use this strand of divine power. Although the most important use of divine power was to cast divine spells, Lorne wanted to know the effect of using divine power to cultivate his body. After the battle with Dorgus, Lorne knew that the body of a god was also very crucial in battle. Dorgus was almost smashed into pieces during the battle. Lorne, on the other hand, only received a little damage. One could see the benefits of having a strong body. Why this was the case? It was actually very simple. Lorne was a dual-class god since birth, so his potential was double or even triple that of an ordinary god. Apart from that, he had already condensed divine power and comprehended that divine power for half a year. As for Dorgus, he had just condensed his divine power but didn¡¯t have the time to comprehend it yet. So, in the end, Dorgus died. ¡°Come, let me see what it¡¯s like to cultivate my body with divine power!¡± Lorne didn¡¯t think too much as he immediately began to temper his body. As the divine power entered his body¡­. Boom! ! ! Terrifying Thunderbolts exploded in his body. Terrifying energy poured in from all directions. Every muscle on Lorne¡¯s body seemed to have a life of its own. They were greedily swallowing and absorbing the surrounding energy into his body while filtering out the impurities. Crack crack crack crack crack¡­ Every bone in Lorne¡¯s body was exploding. His veins, blood, and flesh were being tempered like steel. The divine power disintegrated, turning into endless energy. Thunder, fire, and ice. Three terrifying powers were circling Lorne. At this moment, he seemed to be standing in a nebula storm. The violent thunder transformed into a war hammer, hammering his bones! The surging flames turned into a furnace, tempering his flesh and blood! The ice-cold wind and snow turned into blades, striking his skin! The entire process seemed extremely cruel, and it also caused Lorne to be in extreme pain. But the strange thing was, amidst all the pain, Lorne felt comfortable. It was as if a programmer who had been sitting for more than 24 hours could finally stand up and move. The impurities were like shackles, imprisoning Lorne¡¯s body. And now, the hammering was breaking the shackles, trying to break the seal on Lorne¡¯s body. So he was in pain but still looking forward to it. Every time he endured the hammering, Lorne became more and more excited. Because he could clearly feel that his body was gradually becoming stronger. Just like that, it lasted for two days. Suddenly! ¡°Roar!¡± A dragon¡¯s roar and a tiger¡¯s roar sounded in the sky. Then, there was a cracking sound coming from Lorne¡¯s body. Then, he opened his eyes abruptly and withdrew from his cultivation session. ¡°So this is the divine body after cultivating?¡± Lorne looked at his body excitedly. His muscles flickered with light, just like a glazed jade. Just by clenching his fist, he could feel an intense pressure sweeping in all directions. Strong! Very strong! Although he had only gone through one cultivating session, the power he obtained was tremendous. If he were to fight with Dorgus now, all it would take would be few punches to make his opponent¡¯s divine body crumble. ¡°I¡¯m already so strong after just one round of cultivating.¡± ¡°Thus, if I were to cultivate my body a hundred times, or even a thousand times, what kind of level would my power reach?¡± Lorne looked at his palm that was full of electric arcs. As a young man from Earth who transmigrated a year ago, Lorne¡¯s thoughts had not completely changed. Or it could be said that this power was beyond his expectations. Lorne sighed and then entered a meditative state again. In addition to cultivating his body, he also needed to feel the power in his divine personality. Even if one absorbed the power within the divine personality, which symbolized divinity, that doesn¡¯t mean that one could completely control the power. Even a god must go through a cultivation and comprehension period after absorbing the divine personality in order to gradually control the power and truly integrate it into his divine personality. Lorne knew this very well and was willing to spend a large amount of time in it. He maintained in this state as time quickly passed by. One Day! Two days! Three days! One day in the World of Gods was equivalent to one month in the World of Believers. Thus, during the time that Lorne was cultivating, months have passed for the orcs of the Monde tribe. When Lorne woke up again, it was exactly one year since the last sacrifice, and now the orcs could make another sacrifice. Lorne interrupted his cultivation session and passed down his mandate for another sacrifice to the orc chief. Chapter 29 ¡°Giant Razor Toothed Lizard?¡± Lorne learned about the species of this sacrifice from the orc chief. It was a Tier-Two monster. As it was difficult to find high-tier creatures in the nearby forest, the orcs could only bring out this spare sacrifice. However, Lorne was not satisfied with this. First of all, Tier-Two monsters were not of much significance to the tribe. There were 12 Tier-Two soldiers in the Monde tribe, as well as Nia, a Tier-Three transcendent level great winged black scaled dragon. How could such a force only sacrifice Tier-Two monsters! Absolutely Not! Also. Lorn was not satisfied with the species. The body of a giant razor tooth lizard was very ordinary, it did not have any outstanding advantages. They were not like rock beasts who have hard, thick armor or elves who have accurate shooting abilities. If razor tooth lizard blood essence was used to improve the believers¡¯ physique, then the final benefits would be very ordinary. In Lorne¡¯s opinion, the sacrifice this time was inferior to the bull they used in the previous sacrifice. ¡°It seems like we have to arrange for them to fight a war first.¡± Lorne pondered. It was not that the orcs can¡¯t find a Tier-Three creature during this period, it was just that these Tier-Three creatures had huge hordes around them. Once the battle began, they would have to mobilize everyone to have a chance of winning. Following Lorne¡¯s request, the orcs could not directly engage in such a large-scale battle. Any battle that would result in massive casualties would require Lorne¡¯s permission. Because of this, the orcs only captured a few Tier-Two creatures. But now, they could no longer abide by this rule. Lorne needed high-quality sacrifices so that he could receive sufficient benefits. And so he called for Nia. The black-scaled dragon soaring in the sky quickly and rushed into the clouds. Then, she appeared on the divine plane. ¡°Master.¡± Nia flew in front of Lorne and lowered her head. ¡°Yes.¡± Lorne asked, ¡°Have you found anything recently?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Nia said, ¡°I followed your orders and explored the forest that was beyond 50 kilometers away from the territory. In the river valley, I found some traces of nests, but I didn¡¯t find any traces of false god believers.¡± While he was in his cultivation session, Lorne would occasionally give Nia orders. For a flying dragon, 50 kilometers was too small. A few days after becoming a believer, Nia had already checked all the surrounding areas thoroughly. But because he was afraid that she may encounter believers from elite divine kingdoms, Lorne restricted her range of movement. Beyond 50 kilometers a restriction that he just lifted in the past few days. ¡°What nests?¡±Lorne asked. ¡°There are wooden houses where the elves live, kobolds¡¯ caves, and dwarf cottages.¡± ¡°How are the garrison forces?¡± ¡°They are all joint lairs. The garrison forces are around a few hundred people¡­¡± Lorne¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard the report. Sure enough, the situation in the outer forest was much more complicated than in the nearby forest, considering that only a group of centaurs were discovered near the Monde tribe. The rest were mostly low-level creatures with low intelligence. In contrast, the forest beyond 50 kilometers away was different. There were elves and dwarves there. These two were typical forest creatures who have extraordinary combat abilities in a forest environment. Especially the elves. As long-range troops, they were the most famous hunters in the forest. If he could have such a group of believers, the combat strength of his divine kingdom would greatly improve. But now was not the time to crusade so far. Lorne¡¯s current target was the centaurs that were only a dozen of kilometers away. Centaurs were good at surprise attacks. If he had such a troop, he would have the ability to quickly attack the various nests. A fast pace surprise attack could also prevent monsters in the wild from joining forces, preventing large-scale battles from happening, and effectively reducing the death of captives. ¡°Next, we will attack the Centaurs¡¯ stables.¡± ¡°Now?¡± Stables were the Centaurs¡¯ lairs. A regular stable usually had 50 centaurs, and they were all warriors that were good at charging. Moreover, centaurs also had a strong sense of combat. They understood the importance of scope. Therefore, most of the time, centaurs would form a tribe from a few stables. They would collaborate between offense and defense, using their strongest combat power to destroy the enemy. If Lorne only had a group of orcs and kobolds, he might have delayed the battle in order to end the battle swiftly. But with a powerful creature like Nia, he could ignore this concern. ¡°The impact of facing two hundred centaurs is very terrifying. We must reduce the possibility of joint forces.¡± Lorne thought about it and said, ¡°from the looks of it, splitting our forces into four groups and attacking at the same time should be our best choice.¡± Centaurs were equivalent to cavalry, and the strongest part of cavalry was a collective charge. And the more people there were, the more terrifying the damage would be. So! In order to reduce casualties, the orcs and kobolds must split into several legions and attack these small nests at the same time. With Nia¡¯s help, they should be able to quickly defeat them one by one and win the battle. ¡°Master, because the forest was too dense, my observation may not be very accurate. Before the battle starts, please allow me to send some kobolds to explore.¡± Nia said. She was a flying dragon and could fly in the sky. She could see the scene on the ground. However, this was a forest. The dense trees would indeed affect her judgment. If there were still centaurs that had not been discovered, then the situation would be dangerous. As to why send in the kobolds? This was because the kobolds were more agile. On the other hand, kobolds were cheap. If they were sent to scout the enemy, even if they were discovered and killed by the enemy, it would not be too much of a loss. ¡°Ok, go.¡± With his permission, Nia returned to the worshippers¡¯ world and began to give orders to the kobolds. As a disciple to their god, she had the right to pass on his divine mandates. The kobolds immediately sent out their men. As for the Monde tribe, all of the creatures were extremely excited. The huge creatures raised their battle axes and opened their mouths, letting out loud roars. They were too eager to fight. They already evolved into Tier-Two elite soldiers but their god restricted their actions, not even allowing them to start large-scale battles. This made them feel helpless and melancholic. This was because the orcs really wanted to present an exquisite sacrifice to their god to express their gratitude. However, due to his rule, they had not been satisfied with their harvest. In the end, they even planned to use a Tier-Two creature as a sacrifice. This was indeed shameful. Chapter 30 With Nia¡¯s help, the kobolds quickly brought back information on the Centaurs. ¡°How¡¯s the garrison strength?¡± Lorne asked. ¡°There are about 217 Centaurs. Among them, there are four Tier-Two Centaurs, each leading a small team. There¡¯s also a Tier-Three Centaur.¡± ¡°What about the distance between the stables?¡± Lorne did not care about the Tier-Three Centaur. Even if it was a Tier-Three creature, it would not be able to survive in front of Nia. Compared to this, he was more concerned about the distance between the centaurs. A charge of 200 Centaurs was much more terrifying than a Tier-Three creature. Especially for the kobold troops, which had weak physiques. ¡°About 1000 meters.¡± Nia said, ¡°Centaurs move very fast, 1000 meters might only take 40 seconds to reach¡­¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then we¡¯ll attack at the same time!¡± Lorne immediately made his decision. The centaurs were indeed fast, but as long as they strategized to restrict the Centaurs¡¯ movements, they could effectively separate the Centaur army. As for the four Tier-Two Centaurs and one Tier-Three Centaur, that was not a problem either. The four Tier-Two Centaurs did not possess high intelligence, they were just a few with good physiques. They could not be compared to the orc warriors. After all, these Tier-Two orcs had elite bloodlines. If that was the case, as long as the orc warriors fought, they could control the battlefield easily. Nia would handle the Tier-Three Centaur. She was the nuclear bomb in this war and could end the battle quickly. As long as they could quickly defeat the Centaur formation, they would be able to end the battle as quickly as possible. They would also be able to capture enough captives¡­ ¡ª [ Name ]: Nia [ Race ]: Great Winged Black Scaled Dragon (high-level dragon) [ Rank ]: Tier-Three [ Grade ]: Transcendent [ Status ]: Infancy [ Attributes ]: Strength 26(8¡ü), Vitality 26(8¡ü), Agility 20.5(5.1¡ü), Spirit 27.5(8.5¡ü). ¡ª These were Nia¡¯s current attributes. Although she was still in her infancy, after half a year of growth, her strength had greatly increased. Now, her vitality value reached 26 points. A Tier-One creature had no way of breaking through her defense. As for her attacks, due to her strength value reaching 26 points, when attacking a Tier-One creature, her attacks would cause an extremely terrifying amount of additional damage. However, this time, the targets of her attack were hopefully captives. This was a rather difficult request for Nia who had a powerful destructive ability. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Nia.¡± Lorne made his decision. ¡°Let¡¯s conquer that group of Centaurs.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Nia returned to the World of Believers. At the same time, a terrifying aura descended. Rumble!!! At this moment, dense thunder rumbled above the Monde tribe. A vast divine might spread out. A majestic voice enveloped the entire world. ¡°Conquer the Centaurs!¡± Lorne gave his order. ¡°We shall obey our god¡¯s orders!¡± The orc chief immediately responded with incomparable fanaticism. After saying that, he stood up. Facing all the orcs and kobolds, the orc chief raised his staff high and roared, ¡°Believers of my god, go and rescue those lost lambs!¡± ¡°Roar! ! !¡± The orcs and kobolds roared. They were all full of fighting spirit. To be able to contribute to their god was the most glorious thing for them. ¡­ ¡°Ta Ta Ta¡­¡± Under Nia¡¯s lead, the orc army quickly passed through the forest. This time, Lorne didn¡¯t let all the orcs leave his divine kingdom. Truth be told, having the orcs and Nia was enough. However, in order to capture enough Centaurs, Lorne still sent more people to fight. 10 Tier-Two elite orcs joined the battle team. The remaining orcs also sent two-thirds of their troops. They were the main force of this battle. As elite grade creatures with equipment, they were capable of fighting a Tier-Two monster. The kobold army behind them also held spears. Their mission was to prevent the Centaurs from escaping or leaving the main battlefield. They were not needed directly in the battle. However, as believers of their god, the kobolds still followed closely behind the strong orcs, their eyes filled with a fervent desire for battle. ¡°Everyone!¡± ¡°Form a team!¡± The orc chief walked in front, raising his staff high. Everyone stopped. Everyone started to form their camps. Soon, the team of more than a hundred people was divided into three teams. The Centaurs had four camps. But the orcs only needed to deal with three, leaving the rest to Nia. ¡°In half an hour, attack at the same time!¡± ¡°Yes! ! !¡± These tactics were distributed along the way. When the order was given, everyone immediately went into a battle state of mind. The three orc teams charged in different directions. As for Nia. She was currently hovering in the sky. She couldn¡¯t wait any longer. Lorne allowed her to destroy a stable and it didn¡¯t matter if she killed all the Centaurs there. ¡­ Half an hour later. Nia dove down from the sky. She opened her huge dragon mouth and spewed out dragon breath that covered the sky and earth. Rumble! In an instant, more than half of the stable was destroyed. Raging dark energy swept across the land. Everything that her breath touched looked as if it was bombed by a missile. Even the vegetation around the stable withered. The Centaurs that were hit by the black dragon breath were like burning charcoal that turned into ashes under the violet impact. ¡°Dragon!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a giant dragon!¡± ¡°Enemy attack!¡± ¡°Form a team and fight!¡± Centaurs were creatures with great combat skills. The moment they were attacked, they began to organize the remaining members to fight back effectively. They threw countless spears, accurately hitting Nia¡¯s huge body. Ding Ding Ding Ding!!! The sharp spears stabbed towards Nia¡¯s skin like it was hitting steel. The black-scaled dragon had extremely hard scales, shining brilliantly as if it was made of molten iron. The Centaur¡¯s spears were unable to break through such a defense. It was normal for such a situation to occur. After all, Nia had 26 points of vitality, while the Centaur did not exceed 2 points. In the face of such a huge difference in strength, how could it cause any damage? Therefore, the battle ended very suddenly. The entire battle ended within a minute from starting. Nia did not stop there. She flapped her wings and quickly headed to another battlefield. Chapter 31 Here, a group of orcs was engaged in a fierce battle with the Centaurs. When they saw Nia¡¯s appearance, all the Centaurs began to tremble. Dragons have very strong bloodline suppression capabilities against low-level soldiers. Especially in such a difficult battle. The Centaurs immediately began to panic. Their tight charging formation suffered a violent blow at this moment and was instantly separated by the orcs. Without a group to charge, the combat strength of the Centaurs dropped drastically. Their resistance completely collapsed at this moment. Nia didn¡¯t give them any hope. She flapped her huge wings and spat out dragon breath, directly killing a portion of the Centaur warriors. Losing their effective combat strength, the centaurs could no longer resist the onslaught of the orcs and kobolds. The situation gradually became clear. At this time, Nia left again. She headed to another battlefield. The situation on the next battlefield was no different from before. Nia quickly defeated the Centaur camp using her previous method. The cavalry who had lost the ability to charge was no match for the melee troops. Under the onslaught of the orcs and kobolds, the Centaurs were losing very quickly. In just a few minutes, they were completely defeated. One by one, they won all four battles. The orcs bounded the Centaurs¡¯ hooves together with rope in order to reduce the chances of the Centaurs escaping. After doing all this, the orcs and kobolds let out excited roars. They had won! Within ten minutes. Truth be told, this result exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations. Facing a legion of more than 200 Centaurs, it took less than ten minutes to end the entire battle. It was simply unbelievable. And in this war, half of the 200 Centaurs died during the battle. The Centaurs were too stubborn. Their fighting spirit was much stronger than the orcs. But it was a pity. Facing an absolute advantage in combat capabilities, no matter how strong their fighting spirit was, they couldn¡¯t turn the tide of the battle. When more than half of the Centaurs lost their lives, the remaining Centaurs finally lost their fighting spirit. They were dejectedly escorted by the orcs. They no longer had the will to fight. Of course, the believers also suffered losses. On the contrary, the losses were greater than expected. Under the collective charge of the Centaurs, 17 orcs were seriously injured. Fortunately, the orcs were only injured, not dead. As for the kobolds, their situation was much worse. While facing the Centaurs¡¯ charge, the kobolds lost 10 people due to their weak physique and 49 were seriously injured. The rest were all injured to varying degrees. After all, this was the outcome even with Nia around. If not for Nia, this powerful winged dragon, these weak kobolds might have all died under the Centaurs¡¯ hooves. The orcs had armor to protect them, so they should be able to hold the fruit of victory in their hands. As for how many people would survive in the end? Lorne could only say that there wouldn¡¯t be more than 20 people. Hence, the results of the battle were worth celebrating. ¡°And¡­ I even got a Centaur Shaman!¡± Lorne found a young Centaur girl among the Centaur captives. Although she was young, she was full of pride. Even though she was captured, she still raised her delicate little face. As a god, Lorne could clearly see her intelligence level. Her intelligence level was very high. She was not inferior to Nia. With such a high level of intelligence, she could easily grasp the use of magic. To be honest, Lorne liked this little girl very much. Compared to her intelligence, he liked her pride more. This was a very fascinating personality. ¡­ ¡°Get up!¡± ¡°Quick, follow closely!¡± ¡°Stop pretending to be dead, get up quickly!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Under the urging of the orcs, hundreds of injured Centaurs advanced dozens of kilometers. Because they were all injured, the marching speed was relatively slow. It was not until dusk before the legion finally returned to the divine kingdom. During this time, everything in the divine kingdom was normal. When the orcs guarding the kingdom saw that the majority of the troops returned victoriously, they all went to take over the task of guarding the Centaurs. They drove all the Centaurs to the most sacred square in the territory. Under the threat of the victors, all the Centaurs knelt on the ground and faced the temple. The orcs and kobolds didn¡¯t have time to treat their injuries and all knelt in front of the temple. This war, which was ordered by their god, was finally won. They didn¡¯t crave rewards because this was a task that they had to do. A few tall and strong orcs were carrying a huge Centaur across. This Centaur¡¯s appearance was charred black as if he had walked through flames. As for his life? He had long since died. Because he was where the first batch of Centaurs was at. And that batch of Centaurs, because Nnia released her full firepower, were all burned under her terrifying dragon breath. 50 centaur corpses were all charred, scattered throughout the forest. This Centaur was the only one that had left behind his corpse. That¡¯s because he was Tier-Three! Even the strongest Tier-Three creature among the Centaurs was no match in front of Nia. With just a few dragon breaths, he and the other Centaurs lost their lives. And now, his corpse was the best sacrifice. The orcs placed the corpse at the entrance of the temple and heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, they had finally completed their mission. They hoped that their god would not give up on these lowly believers. The orcs all knelt behind the orc chief, ready to welcome the arrival of their god. Nia, the orc chief, and the kobold leader all knelt at the front. The oldest orc chief let out a passionate prayer: ¡°Great God of Thunder and Fire, you have given us a new life, you have given us hope.¡± ¡°You are our ancestor and our faith!¡± ¡°You are the supreme existence of the Monde tribe!¡± ¡°We are grateful to you!¡± ¡°We wish for you to be immortal!¡± ¡°Please accept our sacrifices and protect your most humble believers!¡± The orc chief shouted loudly. The orcs behind him also echoed in excitement. They were very excited at this moment. During their first sacrifice, their god had given them a powerful bloodline, which greatly improved their physique and potential. This was their second sacrifice. They wondered if their god would give them more divine assets so that they, the lowest level orcs, could also obtain powerful high level bloodlines? Chapter 32 Boom!!! Just as the Orcs were thinking excitedly, an incomparably holy radiance bloomed, enveloping the entire Monde territory. An energy storm appeared. Amidst the soaring flames, the thunderbolts were emitting an extremely powerful aura. What was even stranger was that within the scorching flames, there was also flying snow. One could see that Lorne had developed exquisite control over these three powers. Compared to half a year ago, he was now more like a god who could control three types of divine power. After immersing himself in his own power, Lorne looked at the sacrifice placed in front of the temple. Like the orcs, Lorne was very excited now. The first sacrifice allowed him to obtain a transcendent-level blood essence. He didn¡¯t know what would happen this time? He focused his concentration. His eyes didn¡¯t blink at all as he stared at the Centaur¡¯s corpse. He could see that the corpse was changing before his eyes. Under the charred fur, through the flesh, three drops of blood were floating around its heart. It was flickering with a faint light, like three sparkling rubies, hanging in the air, shining. It was different from what the other gods saw. What Lorne saw were three numbers. X100! ¡­ ¡°Ding!¡± [ Your believers held a devout blood sacrifice ceremony for you! ] [ Your believers sacrificed a Tier-Three Centaur! ] [ You obtained 15,000 points of Power of Faith! ] [ You obtained three drops of normal-grade Centaur blood essence! ] The system gave the notifications for this sacrifice. But in the next second, the real main character appeared. The golden panel popped out and a pleasant-sounding notification could be heard. ¡°Ding!¡± [ Your followers sacrificed a Tier-Three Centaur! ] [ You received 15,000 points of Power of Faith! ] [ Due to the ¡°100 times amplification¡± booster, you received 1.5 million points of Power of Faith! ] [ You received three drops of normal-grade Centaur blood essence! ] [Due to the ¡°100 times amplification¡± booster, you received 300 drops of normal-grade Centaur blood essence (or three drops of transcendent-level Silver Pegasus Knight blood essence) ! ] ¡°Silver Pegasus Knight?!¡± Lorne¡¯s eyes widened. He even doubted his own ears. After confirming it again and again, he finally accepted the information. Under the 100 times amplification booster, that drop of normal-grade Tier-Three centaur blood essence evolved into Silver Pegasus Knight blood essence! As everyone knew, the advanced form of a Centaur was a Pegasus Knight. Pegasus Knights were all very talented. Due to their bloodline, they could reach a maximum level of a Tier-Six soldier, which was a level that ordinary orcs didn¡¯t dare to imagine. As for Pegasus Knights, their evolved form was a Silver Pegasus Knight. Silver Pegasus Knights were born with the bloodline strength of a ¡°lord¡± status and can raise their potential to Tier-Eight. They were truly a core soldier. What was the status of a transcendent level Silver Pegasus Knight? This was because they had yet to develop their full potential. Just like Nia. Although she also has a transcendent-level bloodline, she needed to grow, so she was only a Tier-Three creature. But no matter what. These three drops of Silver Pegasus Knight blood essence were extremely precious materials. ¡°Why are there three drops?¡± ¡°Could it be because of the believers?¡± He pondered slightly. If there was a difference from the previous sacrifice, other than the quality of the sacrifice, it was the strength of the orcs. In the past, they were only Tier-One normal-grade creatures. But now, they had all become elite-level creatures and a large portion of them even evolved into Tier-Two creatures. Both factors were possible. ¡°Not a single good person!¡± Lorne could not help but spat. He had searched through so much information in the City of Gods, but he could not find any relevant information. Someone must have blocked off the information. This was not friendly to the newly born gods. Lorne shook his head helplessly. Then. He opened the blood essence¡¯s attributes panel. ¡ª Silver Pegasus Knight Blood Essence [ Grade ]: Transcendent-Level [ Quantity ]: Three [ Effect 1 ]: Can help a ¡°lord¡± status monster by increasing the chance of advancing to transcendent-level by 20% . [ Effect 2 ]: Can be divided into 50 portions. It can help an elite-grade monster by increasing its chances of advancing to ¡°lord¡± status by 20%. [ Effect 3 ]: Can be divided into 100 portions. It can help a normal-grade monster by directly raising its upper limit of aptitude to elite-grade. ¡ª One could see that the effect of this blood essence was the same as the blood essence used last time. It was almost exactly the same. Lorne couldn¡¯t believe that the two were exactly the same. Therefore, he carefully observed the panel and finally found a hidden message. It turned out that the differences between the blood essences were not displayed on the panel. It was the type of blood essence. For example, after absorbing the blood essence of the Green Bear Beast King, it would give you a strong physique and strength. As for the Silver Pegasus Knight blood essence, after absorbing it, it would give you an extremely high movement speed. In other words, the blood essence of the same grades would have the same effects, which were the effects shown on the interface. But the most important thing was the hidden effect because the quality of the hidden effect would change according to the original quality of the sacrifice. The blood of a Tier-Two creature would be different from that of a Tier-Three creature. This was the biggest difference between the two. ¡°In other words, this is a Tier-Three transcendent-level blood essence ¡­¡± Lorne calculated. Previously, he had inquired about the price of a Tier-Two transcendent level blood essence. The total price was around two million. The price of a Tier-Three item and a Tier-Two item was not the same. An ordinary Tier-Three item was about twice the price of a Tier-Two item. In other words, this drop of blood essence could be sold for four million points of Power of Faith! If all three drops were sold, Lorne could obtain 12 million points of Power of Faith in one go, which could be converted into 12 strands of divine power! 12 strands! Lorne¡¯s eyes turned red. After all, he had only condensed two strands of divine power in the past year. Now that 12 strands of divine power suddenly landed in front of him, how could he not be excited. However, doing so was not ideal. The divine kingdom still needed to develop. Of the three drops of blood essence, he could only use one. If one were to ask who would receive the most from the Silver Pegasus Knight blood essence, there was no doubt that it would be the Centaurs. As the Centaurs¡¯ advanced state, the Silver Pegasus Knight bloodline would definitely allow the Centaurs to receive a huge upgrade. ¡°Currently, there are a total of 120 Centaur captives.¡± ¡°If all of them were enlightened¡­¡± Lorne immediately gave out a drop of blood essence. A drop of blood essence could only be given to 100 centaurs. If all the Centaurs became his followers, Lorne would have to give a fifth of the other drop of blood essence to the remaining Centaurs. In that case, it would be better to give away the second drop of blood essence. However, Lorne did not intend to give it to the kobolds. This group of weak species would not gain much even if they used the blood essence. So, it was better to keep it for now. Of course, Lorne had to give some to the orcs. They were still the main fighting force in the divine kingdom at the moment, and they would need to initiate the next battle. Chapter 33 In the Monde tribe that had been silent for a while, suddenly, there was a huge explosion. Rumble!!! Although there was no lightning, they could feel the terrifying pressure that enveloped the entire Monde tribe. ¡°Great God of Thunder and Fire, please protect your humble believers!¡± ¡°Great God of Thunder and Fire¡­¡± As soon as their god descended, his believers immediately prostrated on the ground, showing their highest respect to their god. In the center, the Centaurs could not help but lower their heads. That powerful existence was someone they could not look at. The Centaurs were not believers but the respect in their hearts was even deeper. This was because Lorne had taken special care of them. A terrifying pressure enveloped around all the Centaurs, completely shattering their already defeated will. ¡°I am very satisfied with your sacrifice.¡± ¡°This is my reward to you.¡± A loud voice sounded. Then, thunder exploded in the sky. Rays of light fell from the sky. It was like heavy rain, soaking everyone. The rain of light fell on everyone, including the Centaurs kneeling in the center. The spots of light merged into their bodies. In the next second, the injured orcs were all healed. Even the severed arms of the kobolds were growing back. The Centaurs¡¯ wounds and their broken bones were also healing. In just half a minute, all the injured were healed. However, even with a healthy body, none of the Centaurs dared to stand up. That incomparably huge gaze that contains the entire world was watching them. Under this gaze, they were unable to do anything, especially if they tried to stand up and raised their heads. Just as the Centaurs were feeling complicated, a huge roar came from all around them. ¡°Roar Roar Roar Roar!!!¡± Some of the orcs were howling in pain. One could see that their originally three meters tall bodies changed once again. Their bodies kept expanding! In just a few seconds, their bodies grew much taller than before. They were now three and a half meters tall, and they looked like real giants when they stood next to the kobolds. Fortunately, they thought ahead and taken off their equipment. Otherwise, their Tier-One equipment might have been destroyed by the bone spikes on their backs. ¡°The effect is pretty good.¡± Lorne¡¯s lips curled up. Just now, he gave the Tier-Two orc warriors 10 sets of blood that could increase their potential to evolve to ¡°lord¡± status. Although no one directly transformed, from the looks of it, it was definitely worth the price of materials. Moreover, the potential for evolution was still there. If one of them was lucky enough, there was still hope of evolving into a ¡°lord¡± status creature. It¡¯s hard to believe that this was an orc race! A species that was thought to never be able to evolve to ¡°lord¡± status. If it succeeded, then Lorne¡¯s believers would set a historical record. ¡­ Apart from that, the kobolds beside them also received some improvements. But this improvement wasn¡¯t big. Compared to the orcs, it was almost nothing. But even so, it still surprised a large number of Centaurs in the square. It was incredible that the believers of that god could grow to such an extent. As a race that was thirsty for battle, Centaurs also hoped that their strength would increase. All of them have the desire to evolve into Pegasus Knights. Because of this, their current mindset underwent a huge change. There was even a large portion of people who wanted to become a follower of that god and receive his blessings. There was also a portion of people who lingered on the edge of this idea. At this moment, a voice sounded in every Centaurs¡¯ mind. ¡°Those who submit to me will evolve!¡± The majestic voice shocked everyone. All the Centaurs widened their eyes. This was because they saw a treasure before them. It was a drop of blood. It was very high-grade. It seemed to be from a Silver Pegasus Knight, which greatly surpasses a Pegasus Knight! Oh My! Silver Pegasus Knight?!! When they realized the origin of this drop of blood, all the Centaurs who wanted to grow instantly fortified their faith. Their hearts no longer wavered. Instead, they were completely convinced by the god who descended upon their world. The Centaurs quickly bowed their heads respectfully, praying in the direction of the temple with incomparable respect. ¡°Great God of Thunder and Fire, the lost lambs need your guidance and protection.¡± Weng!!! When the prayer sounded, Lorne could see that 60 Centaurs established a channel of faith with him. This meant that he had 60 more Centaur believers. ¡°As expected, I still have to exchange benefits for their faith.¡± ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll let those wavering Centaurs see the benefits of becoming believers!¡± Lorne waved his hand, and immediately, dozens of silver lights descended from the sky. Then, they poured into the lightning fire mark on the Centaurs¡¯ rear. In the next second, the 60 Centaurs couldn¡¯t help but stand up and let out painful roars. Their bodies were expanding and growing. In just a few seconds, these blessed Centaurs were much larger than before. The human part of their bodies became extremely strong, comparable to the orcs. The muscles in the horse part of their bodies also expanded to the point that it was comparable to an extremely strong bull. Their hooves that were originally the size of bowls had grown to the size of washbasins. In addition, they also grew to three to four meters in height. Standing among the believers, they were giants. However, just as the Centaurs grew to their maximum size, something strange happened. Their size began to shrink again. Three meters! Two and a half meters! Two meters! The Centaurs quickly reverted to their original size. However, one could see that the Centaurs now had stronger muscles and a more magnificent aura. They didn¡¯t have those exaggerated muscles from before. But they once again had a strong agile posture. Such a body shape would give the Centaurs super high movement speed and greater combat ability. Compared to their previous strength, Lorne was more willing to see them in their current state. After all, the Centaurs were known for their high mobility. High speed was their greatest advantage and strength. Chapter 34 Buzz Buzz Buzz!!! After the Centaur believers evolved, Lorne could see that the channel of faith between them and him became much thicker. This change was between the cursory believers and the true believers. At the same time, a portion of the Centaurs was also affected. They put down their pride and chose to submit to this god in order to obtain greater strength. As a result, Lorne gained another batch of believers. By the time everything ended, he gained 85 Centaur believers. The remaining ones could be ignored. Just with these Centaur believers, Lorne had already achieved his goal of launching this crusade, which was preparing for the upcoming long-distance crusade. A few months ago, Nia already explored the forest that was within dozens of kilometers from the territory, but she did not find too many troops. Most of the monster nests were more than 50 kilometers away. That was not a short distance. 50 kilometers in the forest was longer than 150 kilometers on the road. Especially with the orcs¡¯ speed, it was impossible to complete a surprise attack across such a long distance. Take today for example, from the moment Lorne gave the order to the moment they returned they used a total of eight hours. One had to know that the battle only lasted less than 10 minutes! In other words, they spent most of their time on the road. However, if it was the Centaur army, if they wanted to raid a nest 50 kilometers away, it would only take them about 10 or so minutes. Such a speed was the fastest among all the troops, aside from the flying units. ¡°It seems that enlightenment is also a good way out¡­¡± ¡°This crusade yielded so many rewards!¡± Lorne couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Not counting the harvest from the sacrifice, just the 85 Centaurs standing before him were definitely a huge reward. If one did not count the divine personality that he obtained from Dorgus, then the rewards from this battle were actually higher than the rewards from the divine war. Of course, if one wanted to attack the Centaurs¡¯ lair, then he must have a lot of power. If Lorne did not have Nia¡¯s help, with the current strength of his territory, he definitely would not have been able to win the battle so easily. If it were any other god, they would not have been able to accomplish such a feat within five years. Thinking of this, Lorne happily opened his follower interface. ¡ª [ Race ]: Centaur [ Rank ]: Tier-One [ Grade ]: Normal [ Occupation ]: Cavalry [ Talent ]: Sturdy LVL 1, Battle Intent LVL 1, Rapid March LVL 1. [ Skills ] : Charge LVL 1. [ Attributes ] : Strength 1.6, Vitality 1.6, Agility 2.3, Spirit 1.5. ¡ª Above were the attributes of the Centaurs. One could see that their attributes were much stronger than the orcs. Their strength and vitality were 0.2 points lower, but their agility was a terrifying 0.9 points higher! Their spirit was also 1.0 points higher. These were only the data gaps displayed on the interface. If one were to calculate the overall combat strength, the strength of the Centaurs was even higher. Because they had a [ charge ] skill, in a ground battle, a collective charge was a very terrifying skill. Even if they had the strength to suppress, during a head on battle, they would still suffer heavy losses. This point was already shown in the battle just now. Apart from that, the Centaurs also had a special talent. [ Rapid March ] This was the Centaurs¡¯ special talent. Because of this talent, they have a unique advantage in marching. ¡°Nia, you will lead this group of Centaurs.¡± ¡°Use your aerial advantage and coordinate with the Centaurs¡¯ movement speed to launch a surprise attack on the surrounding lairs.¡± ¡°First, clear out all the orcs and kobold lairs within a 50 kilometer radius. Capture them into the territory and enlighten them to become believers of the divine kingdom.¡± Lorne¡¯s voice boomed, and the majestic divine might spread throughout the entire Monde tribe. ¡°Nia shall obey your will.¡± The black-scaled dragon girl responded respectfully. Then, the divine might gradually dissipate and the god left this world. All the believers didn¡¯t dare to raise their heads immediately. They continued to kneel. They originally planned to stand up after three minutes. But the Centaurs who didn¡¯t submit to the Divine Kingdom got up first, wanting to escape this place. In the next moment, countless Centaurs got up, surrounding their former companions in the middle. Their eyes no longer contained any friendship from before. To these Centaur believers, only the believers of their god were their companions. These stubborn Centaurs were just a bunch of stupid beasts. Therefore, they would not show any compassion. Under the command of a group of Centaurs, this group of unenlightened Centaurs was all imprisoned. Lorne did not kill them. Enlightenment was not something that could be accomplished in a day or two. After all, this was faith and faith was a spiritual thing. If a living being wanted to believe in a god, it had to witness many miracles and gradually change its way of thinking. So, now the kobolds had a task which was to build enough prison cells. There was no other way. When facing beings with low intelligence, there was only the hard way. Lorne really needed people. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have gone to such great lengths for a group of orcs and kobolds. After passing on his mandate regarding construction plans within the divine kingdom to the orc chief and kobold leader, Lorne didn¡¯t stay any longer. With a thought, he left the World of Believers. He still had a drop of Silver Pegasus Knight blood essence to sell. This item was equivalent to at least four strands of divine power. If he could absorb all of this divine power, Lorne¡¯s strength would improve by leaps and bounds. As for that Centaur with great potential? Lorne gave her a great deal of help. The amount of Silver Pegasus Knight blood essence in her body was much more than the other Centaurs. There was also a large amount of Power of Faith. Power of Faith acts as a catalyst. It would allow her to absorb the blood essence in her body faster and raise her own potential. Once Lorne settled his own affairs, he would conduct another live sacrifice and make this highly intelligent Centaur a disciple. Chapter 35 After returning to the City of Gods, Lorne did not go to the small street filled with stalls, instead, he went directly to the huge castle where one can make friends. There was a benefit to trading here, which was that he could make many friends. As a newly born god, you could learn information from other gods that you would not find anywhere else. There was also intel. As mentioned before, the World of Believers was extremely vast, just like a universe. There were also countless gods. But after a year, you would realize that you would rarely encounter other divine kingdoms. Hence, because of the vastness of the region, the things that other gods encountered were also very different. Some of them were special ruins or even small spaces, the kind of places a team of gods could enter. It was like a game instance. Lorne wanted to get to know more gods so that if he encountered something like this in the future, he wouldn¡¯t miss it. In addition, the Silver Pegasus Knight Blood Essence was a very precious treasure. He could use this blood essence to make friends with gods with higher seniority. Just as he finished speaking, a god walked up because of the treasure in his hand. ¡°Hello, God of Fire. I am the God of Storms, Michelle.¡± This was a gentle human god. He came up to Lorne and introduced himself. ¡°I heard that you have a high-level blood essence for sale¡­¡± God of Storms? Storms were a relatively powerful branch element. Compared to an authentic wind-type god, their power was relatively singular. However, this god had been born for a very long time, about 40 years. To Lorne, this was a ¡°senior¡±. Lorne opened a holographic panel and pushed it in front of him. The next second, a shocked voice erupted. ¡°Heavens, this is the blood essence of a transcendent level Silver Pegasus Knight!¡± The God of Storms was completely stunned. Transcendent-level bloodline! This was definitely an extremely rare material! At the very least, in Michelle¡¯s eyes, this was something that he didn¡¯t even dare to dream about. Perhaps the newly born gods didn¡¯t know how precious this bloodline was, but any god who had lived in the City of Gods for a period of time knew that this item was truly something that was hard to obtain. In order for a ¡°lord¡± status believer to successfully evolve into a transcendent level life form, one needed a drop of this blood essence. With this drop of blood essence, when believers are evolving, they would have an additional 20% chance of successfully evolving. To a god who had been born for a long time, this was simply a treasure that he could not pass up on. ¡°God of Fire, how many drops of this blood essence do you have?¡± Michelle moved closer to Lorne. He lowered his voice, but the light in his eyes was exceptionally exciting. ¡°One drop.¡± Lorne said casually. Although he did not know why Michelle had such a big reaction, he did realize that this had a lot to do with the Silver Pegasus Knight Blood Essence. ¡°Then I¡¯ll take this drop.¡± Michelle: ¡°Market Price, four million points of Power of Faith.¡± ¡°No.¡± Lorne shook his head. Four million points of Power of Faith was indeed the current market price. But this did not mean that the highest price of this drop of blood essence was only this much. As an ambitious youth who had lived on Earth for 20 years, how could Lorne not know this little rule? Under normal circumstances, such a rare and precious material could exceed the market price. Especially in an auction. If Lorne had not been born not long ago, he would really wanted to hold an auction. ¡°This is a relatively high price in the market, friend.¡± Michelle frowned and explained. But Lorne still shook his head. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise. ¡°Friend, how much do you want to sell it for?¡± ¡°Six Million!¡± ¡°Impossible, this price is too high.¡± Michelle immediately denied it and said, ¡°Four point five million.¡± ¡°Five point five million.¡± Lorne made another bid. If he wanted to get more benefits, of course, he would need to negotiate like this. Michelle was also very clear, so when he heard the price, he said, ¡°This price is still too high, why don¡¯t we each take a step back¡­¡± ¡°Five million!¡± Michelle stretched out his palm and opened his fingers. This was his highest price. After all, it was only a drop of material that could increase the chances of evolution. It was not necessarily an evolution. Any higher price would not be worth it. Lorne did not insist. When the other party made his final bid, he made his decision. ¡°Deal!¡± ¡°Happy trading. I hope that if there are any other good merchandise in the future, you can inform me immediately.¡± ¡°No problem.¡± The two of them quickly completed all the transactions. Lorne and Michelle chatted for a while longer before Lorne left the place. ¡­ ¡°The Silver Pegasus Knight Blood Essence was sold for five million.¡± ¡°And then there¡¯s the one point five million that came from the sacrifice. Together, it¡¯s six point five million Power of Faith.¡± ¡°It cost 470,000 points to bless the believers.¡± ¡°But I still have to reserve a portion for the Centaurs to buy equipment¡­¡± While walking, Lorne looked at the interface and pondered. Previously, he spent more than a million to buy equipment for the kobolds and orcs. If that was the case, he estimated that he would have to reserve at least two million points of Power of Faith for the Centaurs to buy equipment. Because the Centaurs were a long-distance combat unit, they would have more missions. Moreover, the Centaurs mainly used collective charges as their main form of offense. Such a battle method would consume a lot of equipment, and the casualty rate was also high. But in order to keep this army, Lorne gave them the greatest support in terms of equipment. This way, he would have to prepare some higher quality equipment for them. ¡°The price of a regular set is 14,000 per set, and the cavalry set is even more expensive. It requires about 20,000 points of Power of Faith. ¡°There are currently 85 Centaurs in the territory. If I prepare all of them, I¡¯ll need 1.7 million!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll reserve a portion to heal the believers. Two million is just right.¡± Lorne calculated and found that he could still reserve four million points of Power of Faith to train. He originally had other plans. In his previous conversation with Michelle, Lorne knew that the gods could speed up the flow of time in his divine kingdom. The faster the flow of time, the faster the believers would reproduce. It could increase the population of the divine kingdom in the shortest time possible. But now it seemed that this was not something he could do for the time being. Because the consumption needed to speed up time was too great. A million points of Power of Faith could condense one strand of divine power but a strand of divine power could only double the flow of time in the divine kingdom for a year. It was equivalent to one year turning into two years. But this required all the believers in the divine kingdom to be Tier-One ordinary grade creatures. Otherwise, the strand of divine power¡¯s energy wouldn¡¯t last that long. For example, Lorne¡¯s divine kingdom, because of the existence of high-level soldiers, if he wanted to speed up time, he needed to provide more energy. Obviously, now wasn¡¯t the time to do this. Chapter 36 After finding the Goblin God from before, Lorne ordered 85 sets of cavalry equipment from him. This transaction directly consumed 1.7 million points of Power of Faith. After receiving the equipment, Lorne once again descended into the World of Believers. He was about to enter a cultivation session and this session would be very long. The Centaurs naturally would have to equip the equipment that he purchased as soon as possible. He could see that the Centaurs and Nia began to sweep the forest. Although there were no high-quality intelligent species, there were still many kobold and orc tribes. Lorne encouraged the Centaurs, then handed out the exquisite equipment sets. Such a gift allowed Lorne to gain another portion of devout believers. However, he did not stay long. After distributing the equipment, Lorne returned to the World of Gods. ¡°Condense!¡± Lorne immediately began to cultivate. A million points of Power of Faith began to condense inside Lorne¡¯s body, turning into a strand of divine power with magnificent energy. But this time he encountered the problem from before again. ¡°It can still be increased?¡± Lorne frowned slightly. He discovered that the three powers of this strand of divine power didn¡¯t fuse together. It seemed to lack some origin. And this origin was the Power of Faith. The power of ice and snow couldn¡¯t fuse with his thunder and fire, perhaps this was because thunder and fire was the power that Lorne was born with. And a million points of Power of Faith was unable to nourish the ice and snow divine personality. Hence, we have this current situation. Actually, Lorne discovered this problem the last time, but at the time, he didn¡¯t have enough Power of Faith. This time, it was a good opportunity to test his theory. Lorne wasn¡¯t in a pinch. He directly activated his remaining points of Power of Faith and injected them into this strand of divine power. Boom Boom Boom! ! ! An incomparably terrifying power surged out. It was like the universe had exploded! In Lorne¡¯s body, the power brought on by the ice and snow divine personality was fusing with the thunder and fire power in his body. And this fusion was actually carried out in an explosion. This was a situation that never happened before. Lorne quickly calmed his mind and began to concentrate on mobilizing the power in his body. Ice, lightning, and fire, three types of power erupted together. They fused together. In the form of an energy storm, Lorne¡¯s entire body was engulfed. A purple-white light soared into the sky. Carrying Lorne¡¯s divine consciousness, he rushed out of this world and into the universe. Lorne looked at everything around him in surprise. Everything around him was desolate, as if he was in an endless darkness in the universe. Around Lorne, there was a rolling sea of lightning, endless flames were burning, and there was even a silent, dark coldness. The light spots of the three colors interweaved, forming a purplish-red nebula storm. This seemed to be the most primitive form of divine power. Lorne was surprised. But before he could think clearly. Boom! His surroundings suddenly became chaotic. There seemed to be unstable factors in this huge nebula storm. Lorne, who was in the center of the nebula, could clearly feel that the white energy inside was extremely dry. It was like a desert that was yearning for moisture from the rain. It needed the Power of Faith! The power of ice and snow could not balance the divine power of thunder and fire. Without more energy injected, it would be buried by the thunder and fire power and it would be difficult for it to exert its power. Noticing this, Lorne directly poured more Power of Faith down. 1.1 million! 1.2 million! 1.3 million! 1.4 million¡­ What surprised Lorn was that the divine power that could have been condensed with 1 million Power of Faith at this moment, actually consumed 1.4 million points of Power of Faith! And it wasn¡¯t over yet! This consumption was somewhat unbearable. But now was not the time to consider these things. Condensing the three attributes of divine power was the most important goal right now! Lorne gritted his teeth and persevered. He always believed in the principle of getting what you paid for. The amount of Power of Faith consumed today was so massive that when he does use divine power to cast divine spells in the future, it would definitely erupt completely. Therefore, he did not stop injecting more Power of Faith. On the contrary, Lorne completely let go and allowed the nebula storm to absorb enough energy. 1.5 million! 1.6 million! 1.7 million! 1.8 million! 1.9 million! 2 million! ! ! When the injected amount of Power of Faith reached 2 million, the entire universe trembled. It was like a nuclear reactor that had gone out of control. It seemed like a violent explosion that could destroy the world would happen at any moment. Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! The sound of endless divine thunder could be heard. Lorne looked up. It was a pitch-black wormhole that was billions of miles wide. The pitch-black energy that collapsed inward was like a huge mouth that was swallowing everything, swallowing the entire universe. Meteorites! Planets! And nebula storms! Everything surrounding it was sucked into the black hole. The next moment, everything disappeared completely. ¡­ Phew ¡ª Phew ¡ª Phew ¡ª Lorne, who was in the castle, suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils were enlarged to the maximum and his breathing was extremely rapid. The scene just now was too terrifying. The huge black hole swallowed the entire universe. As a newly born God, Lorne had never seen such a strange scene. ¡°No wonder divine power is so magical. ¡°It can cause life to evolve, revive, and even speed up time!¡± Lorne opened his right hand. He saw a shrunken nebula circling in his palm. Purple, red, and white dots of light formed three ribbons, making the entire nebula beautiful. Lorne knew very well that this was divine power! Moreover, the energy within this divine power was more easily controlled. It was as if he was born with it. This feeling was something he had never experienced before. During the previous two times condensing divine power, Lorne also obtained very strong powers, but he felt that something was missing, not like how perfect it is now. ¡°Could this be the complete divine power?¡± ¡°The first two attempts at condensing divine power were too crude. There was no complete fusion between the various elements, so I could not see the scene just now?¡± Lorne muttered to himself. He did not know if the system in this world was too immoral. It did not even explain such a basic thing. He could not even find any relevant information on the internet. What a bastard! Lorne sighed helplessly. However, now was not the time to be sentimental about these things. He still had two million points of Power of Faith in his body. He could completely condense another strand of divine power. ¡°Condense!¡± Lorne condensed the remaining Power of Faith into divine power. Then, he hesitated. One strand of divine power was enough to cast divine spells. As for the other strand? It should be used to try some things. For example, refining the divine body, refining the soul, or upgrading divine spells¡­ Chapter 37 Originally, he prepared these Powers of Faith to condense four strands of divine power. But now he only had half. Lorne¡¯s plan had to change. The idea of using two strands of divine power to temper both the body and soul had to be shelved. Now only one strand of divine power could be used. Lorne pondered for a moment. Finally, he set his target on his soul. Tempering the body could allow him to gain powerful close combat abilities. But cultivating the soul would increase the power of divine spells. It just so happened that he already tempered his body once. And now, he would be able to cultivate his soul to maintain the improvement of his overall combat strength. As for casting divine spells? Well, at this stage, just a thread of divine power was enough to give his opponent a fatal blow. Furthermore, Lorne already reserved two strands of divine power on his body. ¡°Let me see just how amazing it is to cultivate one¡¯s soul.¡± ¡°Cultivate the soul!¡± Lorne immediately began. The divine power in his body disintegrated once more, like an explosion in the universe, releasing all of its energy. At this moment, Lorne truly felt the divine power of the three elements. The effect it displayed was something that ordinary divine power could not compare to. Even the thunder and fire divine power from back then could not compare. Divine power with three elements . In terms of refining the divine soul, the effect was a thousand times better than ordinary gods! Buzz! It was as if a huge rock was thrown into a calm lake. Lorne¡¯s sea of divine soul stirred up huge ripples. With the injection of new energy, his soul was still gradually expanding. There was no earth-shattering momentum like before. At this time, everything was slightly calm. Only the sound of waves crashing on the shore kept echoing in Lorne¡¯s mind. Under this sound, his soul was growing. Every idea! Every thought! Every soul! All were changing. But the process was very slow. It would last for a long time. Lorne seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Obviously, he was not in a hurry. He could take this opportunity to analyze the power of his divine personality. Divine power came from the divine personality. By analyzing the divine personality, one could grasp the elemental laws it carried to a large extent. Killing two birds with one stone was naturally not torture. ¡­ One day in the City of God was equivalent to 24 days in the World of Believers! While Lorne was in his cultivation session, a long time already passed for his believers. It was currently the end of the second year following the birth of the divine kingdom! Although their god had not appeared for a long time, due to the previous population and equipment, the overall strength of the divine kingdom was already very strong. In addition, with the winged dragon Nia around, the kingdom basically would not encounter any danger. On the contrary, during this period, the believers swept through the surrounding forest. The believers cleared out the area within 50 kilometers away from the Monde tribe. Most of it was thanks to the Centaur army. These Centaurs that evolved had overwhelming power in terms of combat strength. Especially when they charged together. Tier-One or even Tier-Two normal grade creatures couldn¡¯t survive their attacks. If it wasn¡¯t for Lorne¡¯s orders not to go too far, the Centaurs might have already advanced a hundred kilometers away. In addition, it was also because they gained a lot during this period that there were many captives in the territory. Kobolds and orcs were the most, with a total number of around 700 people. These were all captives. The kobold leader was planning on enlightening them. Unfortunately, because the kobolds and orcs had limited intelligence, it was far from enough to just rely on words to enlighten them. Unless there was a ¡°miracle¡±. The arrival of their god could convert these creatures with low intelligence at the fastest speed. But they were helpless because the two Shamans in the divine kingdom had no way to contact their god. No matter how much they prayed, they received no response. If it wasn¡¯t for the totem on their bodies, they would have even suspected that their god had abandoned these lowly believers. ¡°Everyone, gather in the square!¡± Early in the morning, many figures appeared in the square outside the temple. They were a group of kobolds and orcs. Driven to the square, they knelt down in the direction of the temple. This was their daily homework. Apart from doing hard labor to carry materials, the only thing they had to do was to pray here. At this time, in front of the team, the orc chief and kobold leader held their staffs high and led thousands of prisoners of war to pray. The benefits of doing so were very low. But there was no other way. In a situation where their god doesn¡¯t appear, they could only pass on the concept of faith to the prisoners of war through such actions. And it wasn¡¯t completely without benefits. During this year, the Shamans successfully enlightened 200 new believers. Although they were only cursory believers, they were still happy to be able to do this. ¡°Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh¡­¡± A few rays of light poured down. Under the duo¡¯s sermon, a few orcs became believers. The God of Thunder and Fire¡¯s totem was carved on their foreheads. At this moment, the hunting team from the divine kingdom returned. In the hands of these strong orcs, they were all carrying huge beasts. The divine kingdom now had nearly 2000 people, so the internal consumption of resources was naturally huge. Fortunately, there were many beasts in the forest, so there was no need to worry about food. The orcs put down their prey and set off again. They continued to hunt. As there were no more nests near the divine kingdom, if they wanted to fight again, they would have to go dozens of kilometers away. Such a long journey was more suitable for the Centaurs. So, the Centaurs were now in charge of all the combat missions. The orcs were in charge of the hunting missions. Finally, the weakest kobolds were in charge of taking care of the captives in the divine kingdom. Such a clear division of labor allowed everything in the divine kingdom to run smoothly. It also allowed the kingdom to have a steady rate of development. And all of this came from a Centaur named Anna. She was the one who suggested it. Let the kingdom prosper. At the same time, she was the fastest growing Centaur among all Centaurs. And the fastest to evolve. She was now one of the four captains of the Centaur Army. At this moment, Anna was already 60 kilometers away from the divine kingdom. With Nia¡¯s investigation and the Centaur scouts¡¯ inspection, she could confirm that the dwarves in front of her had amassed all their combat strength. After the most meticulous consideration, Anna gave the order to attack. 30 Centaurs formed a cavalry formation and launched a surprise attack on the ¡°dwarf cottage¡± when no one was on guard. Chapter 38 Under the collective charge of the Centaur army, this group of Tier-One dwarves simply could not withstand such an impact. They only resisted for a short period before they completely lost the ability to fight. The Centaurs gathered all the dwarves together and then a Centaur team that specialized in transporting prisoners of war was responsible for escorting them. Just like that, the population of the divine kingdom greatly increased. During this period, the Centaurs already raided several dwarf cottages and captured more than 100 dwarves. Dwarves were very ugly creatures. But their intelligence was not ordinary. Dwarves could forge equipment and even do business. Of course, those were dwarves with a higher degree of intelligence. The dwarves around here were the lowest level ones. They could only make furs or stone tools. This was still of great significance to the divine kingdom currently. Winter would come eventually, furs could help them resist the cold. At the same time, they could use the fur from their prey to not waste resources. It was a pity that Lorne was still in his cultivation session. Otherwise, he would definitely use the dwarves as a foundation to prepare a live sacrifice. After all, this was a troop that could produce equipment. Apart from the dwarves, under Nia and Anna¡¯s collaboration, the Centaur army also took a few wooden houses. These wooden houses were elven nests. As everyone knew, elves were natural forest hunters. As long-range troops, they would have an irreplaceable position in a weak divine kingdom. Finally, there were the Centaur nests. Fifty kilometers outside the kingdom in the forest, there were many wandering Centaurs. To the current divine kingdom, they were very important battle resources. Anna also understood this very well. Hence, when she was conquering the outside world, she already planned to attack the Centaur nests. However, after such a long time, she still had not launched an attack. This was because she had to take into account the Centaurs¡¯ fighting will. Without the appearance of their god, the Shamans in the divine kingdom could not change their minds. Thus, Anna only recorded the location of the Centaurs¡¯ lair. She wanted to wait for the day when her god descended before launching a crusade against the Centaurs¡¯ lair. ¡­ Just like that time flew by. Soon, it was the third year. Lorne, who was cultivating in the City of Gods suddenly opened his eyes. In an instant, divine light appeared and thunder rumbled. A smile gradually appeared on his face. ¡°So, I see why refining the soul is so important now¡­¡± After cultivating his soul, Lorne had a clear understanding of the benefits. Cultivating a god¡¯s soul could make a god¡¯s divine spell more powerful. At the same time, it could allow the god to use more divine spells. Yes, divine spells could not be used unlimitedly. For example, if the god¡¯s soul was not powerful enough, then the effect of a high-level divine spell that reverses time would not be truly displayed. But if the god¡¯s soul was extremely powerful, then even if he cast an ordinary divine spell, the final power displayed would be much stronger than that of an ordinary god. ¡°Divine power, divine spell, divine body, divine soul, the relationship between them all complement each other.¡± If he wanted to become powerful, then he had to improve in all aspects. This was because a weak divine body would not be able to support a powerful divine soul to display its full strength, and it would not be able to support the tremendous pressure when using divine spells. After thinking this through, Lorne had a clearer understanding of his future. ¡°Has it been this long?!¡± Lorne looked at the time and was slightly shocked. Who would have thought that 20 days had already passed? This meant that in his divine kingdom in the World of Believers 480 days had already passed! After not paying attention to them for such a long time, he did not know how their current situation was. But to be honest, Lorne was not worried. After all, with Nia around and having such a large army, even if they encountered a divine kingdom that had been born for ten years, they would still have the capabilities to fight. What Lorn was curious about was the current population of his divine kingdom. ¡°There are so many?¡± Lorne sensed that his channel of faith now had more branches. Compared to before, there were actually two times more. In other words, there were nearly 1000 believers in his divine kingdom now! Although most of the believers¡¯ level of faith was very shallow, this was still an extraordinary achievement. It was also because of the increase in believers, during this one year, Lorne accumulated a huge amount of wealth. At the current stage, there were a total of 950 believers in the divine kingdom, even though most of them were cursory believers. Adding everything up, they could produce 3,100 points of Power of Faith every day. Today, after 480 days, they brought Lorne a total of 1,488,000 points of Power of Faith. Since he finished his cultivating session, all these points of Power of Faith could be used towards his divine kingdom. Lorne once again found the dwarven god with whom he made many transactions before and bought a batch of equipment from him. There were also some special items. All in all, it cost about one million points of Power of Faith. As for the remaining 500,000 points, Lorne bought some skill books. Shamans could learn the simplest divine spells while ordinary believers could only learn lower-level skills. The value of these items was very low. About 10,000 points of Power of Faith could buy one. Lorne bought 50 skill books. Then, he left the City of God and came to the World of Believers. Just then, a request was sent to Lorne along the channel of faith. Believers could communicate with their gods. There were two ways. The first was to pray. For example, when the orc chief leads the other believers to perform a sacrifice. At this time, they could pass the message to their god. The other type was through the disciples and holy spirits! After reaching the level of a disciple, they could rely on the channel of faith between themselves and their gods to pass the message. And this time, the message came from Lorne¡¯s disciple, Nia. Accept. ¡°Master, you¡¯re back?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Lorne said, ¡°Please report the situation.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Nia said, ¡°Since you blessed us a year ago, I led the Centaurs to sweep the surrounding forest. There are many nests in the dense forest. After my search and the Centaurs¡¯ ground surveillance, we finally found 18 orc tribes and 45 kobold caves¡­¡±. ¡°¡­ ¡°¡­¡± There were so many of them! Lorne¡¯s eyes lit up. Under normal circumstances, there would only be about 50 monsters guarding a monster lair. The number of kobolds was slightly higher. All in all, there were at least 5,000 combat units. Of course. If there was a battle, there would be death. By estimating a rate of 40% casualties, there should be about 3,000 people who were captured! No wonder the population of the divine kingdom suddenly increased so much. It was all because of the large number of prisoners of war. Chapter 39 ¡°After exploring all the forests in the surrounding 50 kilometers, we have been building our territory. It was not until two months ago that we started to expand the exploration area.¡± ¡°In the areas about 60 kilometers away from the kingdom, we have taken down several dwarven cottages and elven wooden houses. In the past two months, we captured more than 300 dwarves and elves.¡± ¡°Unfortunately, they are too stubborn. Until now, that group of ignorant dwarves and elves are still locked in prison cells¡­¡± When it came to captives, Nia was very helpless. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that those stubborn fellows were useful to her master, she wanted to burn them to death with her dragon breath. This way, the food consumption rate within the divine kingdom would be greatly reduced. ¡°Mm, well done.¡± Lorne needed believers who could help his divine kingdom develop. When there were too many people in the kingdom, these believers with high command could help the kingdom develop to a higher level. And Nia was obviously a soldier who was good at fighting. Although she hasn¡¯t been around long, in her hands, the population of his divine kingdom increased by dozens of times. This was definitely an achievement worthy of praise. ¡°What are your plans now?¡± ¡°So, Anna and I have locked down a few Centaur lairs, but we¡¯ve been worried that we won¡¯t be able to enlighten them, so our crusade plan had been postponed¡­¡± ¡°Go, take down the Centaur lairs and return to the divine kingdom as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± ¡­ ¡°Anna, let¡¯s go!¡± With Lorne¡¯s approval, Nia began to attack the Centaurs lairs that she already investigated. Roar Roar Roar!!!! To reduce losses, Nia often acted as the main force in the battle and attacked the strongest creature in the enemy¡¯s army. The wild Centaurs immediately discovered the black-scaled dragon. They did not know about such a creature, but this did not diminish the fear that the giant dragon brought upon them. Even under extreme fear, the Centaurs still formed a battle team and launched a counterattack against the incoming enemy. Unfortunately, the opponent this time was in the sky. In this world, it was difficult for creatures on land to attack flying creatures. Unless you had a large machine. For example, a huge dragon-hunting crossbow or a dragon-catching net. Otherwise, the probability of victory was extremely low. Nia flew across the sky and spat out dragon breath at the same time. The pitch-black flames instantly tore the earth apart, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of Centaurs fell. After a year of growth, Nia¡¯s attributes increased by a large margin. Under her huge size, her attack range was also incomparably huge. If it wasn¡¯t for Nia intentionally controlling the energy she spat out, just that one dragon breath was enough to destroy this well-trained Centaur army. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The remaining Centaurs threw their spears one after another. Most of them missed and only a few landed on Nia¡¯s body. Unfortunately, their strength was too low so they were unable to pierce through her dragon scales. On the other hand, Nia had to control her attacks to avoid killing all the enemies. Moreover, spears were the Centaurs¡¯ weapons. The moment they threw their spears, it also meant that they had lost their weapons. Thus, at this moment, the Centaur captain Anna waved the spear in her hand and gave the order to attack. Suddenly facing the charge of an elite Centaur team, these wild Centaurs had no chance of resistance at all. After only three waves of charges, they had disintegrated all their combat strength. ¡°Not bad.¡± Lorne was watching their battle. Even though it was because of Nia¡¯s help that everything ended so quickly, he could not deny Anna¡¯s contribution. This Centaur beauty that Lorne had taken special care of a long time ago had completed her transformation after a year of hard work and became a very outstanding leader. ¡°It just so happens that there are so many new believers. I can start several sacrificial ceremonies at the same time.¡± The sacrificial ceremonies could be carried out separately, as long as the believers who initiated the sacrifice were different. Are there benefits of having more people to carry out the sacrificial activities? Of course, there were. During the sacrificial ceremonies, the more believers present, the greater the increase in the quality of the sacrificial items. In fact, when the number of believers was large enough, the quality of the sacrificial items could even evolve. Usually, a divine kingdom with a large enough population would carry out such an operation every few decades. After all, it was difficult to obtain high-level sacrifices. If one could obtain them this way, it would naturally be the best. But Lorne did not need to do that. Because he had a ¡°100 times amplification¡± booster, any sacrifice would have a 100-fold increase. Therefore, what he needed the most was the number of sacrifices. ¡­ Next. Anna quickly conquered three Centaurs lairs and captured a total of 110 Centaur captives. By the time their team returned to their territory, there were already thousands of people gathered in the square. The captives were kneeling in the middle. The total number exceeded 3,000. The believers were surrounding them. The total number exceeded 1,000. In total, there were close to 5,000 of them. This beautiful scene surprised Lorne. He thought there were only about 500 people. But who knew that there were 10 times more than he expected! This was indeed a surprise. Lorne was not stingy. He started to give out rewards to everyone from a year ago. Powers of Faith were injected into their bodies, causing their physique and spirit to improve greatly. There were even dozens of Centaurs who evolved at this time. Especially Anna. This most talented Centaur was wrapped in a ball of light. Under the gentle holy light, everyone saw a pair of huge wings growing out of her body! Pegasus! Pegasus! Oh My, she evolved into a Pegasus Knight! All the wild Centaurs widened their eyes, not daring to believe their own eyes. In the world of the Centaurs, only 1% of Centaurs could evolve into Pegasus Knights. Therefore, in their eyes, Pegasus Knights had an extremely high status, even if they did not know each other. As for those Centaurs who had long become believers, they all had endless respect for their god. This was because they knew very well that Anna was able to evolve into a Pegasus Knight at such a young age was because of the blessings of their god. If not for the Silver Pegasus Knight blood essence bestowed by their god, Anna would never have been able to accomplish such a historical achievement. At this thought, the Centaurs prayed fervently to their god, hoping that he would notice his humble followers. Chapter 40 ¡°Eh?¡± Lorne, who was standing above the tribe, was stunned. He saw that he gained nearly 100 more channels of faith. He couldn¡¯t help but feel a little surprised. Under Anna¡¯s influence, the Centaur captives in the territory all changed their attitudes and began to worship Lorne. This was a pleasant surprise. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s start the live sacrifice!¡± Lorne directly issued his divine mandate. At this moment, there were a total of 200 Centaurs in his divine kingdom so he asked everyone to join the sacrifice. After all, they were his believers, so there was no need to be calculative. ¡­ Soon. The live sacrifice began. This was not the first time a live sacrifice was held, but what was interesting was that the person who presided over this sacrifice was Anna herself. She looked at the temple with great yearning, moving her limbs, she gradually approached. When she was close enough, she stopped, then knelt down and began to pray with great sincerity. Behind her, more than 200 Centaur warriors echoed her prayers. Buzz!!! Countless rays of light emerged from the Centaur warriors¡¯ bodies. These rays of light enveloped Anna, turning her into an even larger cocoon of light. Amidst the solemn prayers, Anna transformed into a ray of light, charging straight into the heavens. Her god accepted the live sacrifice! The believers did not dare to raise their heads. The captives did not dare to show any signs of agitation because they truly felt the existence of this god, a god that was above the world! ¡­ A world where gods existed. Another crack appeared in this dimension. Anna, who had become a believer, was finally fortunate enough to come to the world of gods. This was simply the greatest glory of her life. At the same time, the system notification sounded in Lorne¡¯s ears. [ Your believers held a devout live sacrifice ceremony for you! ] [ Your followers sacrificed a Tier-Two Pegasus Knight! ] [ You obtained 5000 points of Power of Faith! ] [ You obtained a Tier-Two normal grade disciple ¡ª Pegasus Knight! ] The notification for the live sacrifice appeared. At the same time, another golden panel popped up. [ Your followers sacrificed a Tier-Two elite grade Pegasus Knight. ] [ You gained 10,000 points of Power of Faith! ] [ Due to the ¡°100 times amplification¡± booster, you gained 1,000,000 points of Power of Faith! ] [ You gained a Tier-Two elite grade disciple ¡ª Pegasus Knight! ] [ Due to the ¡°100 times amplification¡± booster, you gained 100 Tier-Two elite grade Pegasus Knights (or one Tier-Two transcendent level Valkyrie)! ] ¡ª Anna was a Tier-Two elite grade creature. Therefore, the effect under the ¡°100 times amplification¡± booster was even better. However, Lorne still did not want quantity. He wanted quality! Ever since he obtained Nia, Lorne had made up his mind. As long as the quality reached transcendent levels, he would choose it. This time was no exception. Lorne chose the latter. After he made this choice, Anna¡¯s appearance underwent a huge change once again. In the light, a beautiful blonde woman rode a snow-white Pegasus through the spatial rift and flew straight towards Lorne. It was a female knight with long blonde hair, wearing blue-white armor and a snow-white battle dress. She had pointy ears like an elf and there were feathers on them. This made Lorne¡¯s eyes widen because he remembered the identity of the believer in front of him. This was the hidden class of the Centaurs ¡ª the Valkyrie! As mentioned before, the evolved form of a Centaur was a Pegasus Knight, and the advanced form of a Pegasus Knight was a Silver Pegasus Knight. This was the highest stage that a Centaur could reach. But in the Centaur race, there was another legendary hidden class. And that was the Valkyrie! The Valkyrie had even higher potential and could reach Tier-10. There were even rumors that the Valkyrie could reach Tier-12. However, as there were very few of them, it was difficult to find out relevant information, so this was only a rumor. However, a Tier-10 soldier was already very powerful. For a powerful divine kingdom, Tier-10 was the core differentiating point of a soldier. Among gods, a Tier-10 soldier was also called an ace soldier. In other words, the outcomes of future wars would be decided by their numbers and combat strength. Originally, Centaurs weren¡¯t qualified to step into that domain, but after the mutation, as a Valkyrie, they would be lucky enough to reach it. ¡°Ta Ta Ta¡­¡± Anna urged the Pegasus to come before Lorne and bowed respectfully. ¡°Valkyrie, Anna, it is my honor to be able to bask in my Master¡¯s glory.¡± ¡ª [ Name ]: Anna [ Race ]: Valkyrie (Hidden Elf race) [ Rank ]: Tier-Two [ Grade ]: Transcendent [Job ]: Sky Knight [ Status ]: Growth period [ Attributes ]: Strength 10.0, Vitality 10.1, Agility 12.3, Spirit 17. [ Talent ]: Heroic body (immune to all spells below Tier-Three) [ Talent ]: War of Destiny (enemy¡¯s damage to herself would be minimum, her damage to the enemy would be maximum) [ Talent ]: Valkyrie (Can train Silver Pegasus Knights to become Valkyries) [ Skills ]: Command LVL 3, Leadership LVL 3, Wisdom LVL 3¡­ ¡ª Holy shit! Lorn suddenly spat out two uncivilized words. He almost thought he misread something. But when he saw it clearly, Lorne had to take a deep breath. He, who was a god, was already very calm, but today, he was still shocked by Anna¡¯s innate skill. She could actually train one to become a Valkyrie! ¡°Strategic level innate skill!¡± Lorne recalled the words that he saw when he was searching for information. Strategic level innate skill, as the name implied, her existence could change the world. For example, Anna¡¯s innate skill could train other Silver Pegasus Knights to become Valkyries! Wasn¡¯t this equivalent to a production line that could continuously produce Tier-10 soldiers!!! Everyone who understood war knew how powerful this talent was. Even Lorne took a few deep breaths for a while before regaining his senses. When he looked at the price of training a Valkyrie Lorne¡¯s pupils dilated once more.
