!?The Strong Against the Strong?!
Su Luo continued to travel in the Celestial Rail and soon discovered the reason.
"With the death of the Wisdom Main God, the 0.05 share it occupied was partially stolen by someone like me who entered through Back Door."
Su Luo checked the detectors scattered around the Divine Court World and discovered that three powerful, unknown creatures exuding an aura of faith had left. One of them entered the [Abyss], and the other had provoked the natives and was driven away.
"So it turns out it got smashed while exploring; the Wisdom Main God must have died in the Abyss."
Su Luo felt relieved, and then checked the share occupied by the other Chief Gods.
The most numerous of this generation's Chief Gods is the Command Chief God, accounting for 0.06%. Hecate accounts for 0.04%, the Goddess of Light for 0.03%, and the Fourth-Generation Main Gods for 0.67%...
This explains why the older the world, the stronger it becomes. After the predecessors divided the spoils, the pie for the successors gets smaller and smaller. Under normal circumstances, this would lead to a shrinking pie, but in the Divine Court World, everyone is just slacking off and has no intention of making the pie bigger.
Hecate counts as half. At least she's working on the Demon Network, trying to expand the sources of faith, and attempting to make the pie bigger.
"These guys are still too corrupt. Let's take over more privileges first."
Su Luo decided to make a quick buck and run away before the Large Dungeon arrived.
"So, the interstellar era is so powerful it's ridiculous? If I went there now, I'd get completely crushed?"
Layton listened to his subordinate's statement with a skeptical expression.
"That's right. Judging from how the technology tree in the District War progresses, the interstellar era is still too terrifying. The Mechanical Ascension and Genetic Ascension in the game are technologies from the early stages of interstellar warfare. From the mid-game onwards, it's practically science fiction," the subordinate replied.
"Um... how sci-fi is it?" Layton still didn't quite understand, his tone somewhat listless.
"It seems that mid-interstellar civilizations liked to mine by blasting Fixed Stars? Back then, the later technology trees were shrouded in Mist, only a small part was visible, so it wasn't very clear, but we should run away immediately," the subordinate said seriously.
"Take advantage of the fact that they are not used to the special environment of the Land of Darkness and run away quickly, otherwise they will realize what's happening and develop suitable technology, and we will be in big trouble."
Layton nodded slightly, feeling that what he said made a lot of sense. He didn't want to fight a battle he wasn't sure he could win, nor did he want his region to become a stepping stone for the expansion of interstellar civilizations.
"I'll get you some transportation."
After saying that, Layton disappeared from the spot, only to reappear half an hour later.
"The automated breeding Warships in Zone 76."
Layton took out a three-cubic-meter-sized silver-white metal block from the System Space and threw it on the ground.
The moment the metal block hit the ground, it was like an activated seed, rapidly transforming into streams of water that expanded and took shape. The silvery-white liquid flowed and changed on the ground.
In just a few minutes, a square metal block transformed into a growing complex of countless tiny modules, expanding rapidly.
"Approximately how long will it take to expand the Warship to be usable across the entire region?" The subordinate didn't mince words, knowing Layton was in a bad mood, and only asked the most crucial question.
"About a day and a half, at 800 Sonic speeds. Go pack up and prepare to move in the opposite direction." Layton waved his hand.
"Okay, take care." The subordinate quickly left.
He knew that staying put in the current area would only hinder Layton and increase the risks. The threat posed by the arriving unknown civilization was too great, and it seemed to be exceptionally powerful.
Layton watched his men leave, remaining silent for a moment.
He took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, took a drag, and exhaled a cloud of white smoke that slowly rose into the darkness before being swallowed by it.
"Sigh, Binluk, you shouldn't have died in the Continued Battle. Without you, I feel so stupid talking to others..."
Layton stood there, looking at the perpetually deep darkness of the Land of Darkness, finished his cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, and crushed it out with his foot.
"Let's go see what's so sacred about this civilization. If all else fails, we can always go back to the heavens and mingle."
His figure vanished into the darkness.
The Fourth-Generation Fire God sat imposingly at the entrance of the Divine Court, watching the maddened scene unfold across the entire universe.
"It's been confirmed; it has merged with some other large world."
Fire God pondered this terrible news with a hint of melancholy.
It might not be a bad thing, but it might not be a good thing either. That's a truism.
The good thing is that a new world brings new resources, new possibilities, and new power. The bad thing is that a new world also brings new threats, new enemies, and new unknowns.
The rate at Power of Faith is collected is only 10% of what it was before the darkness descended.
Although it is related to the sharp decline in population, the total population of the Three Thousand Mortal Realms has only decreased by 75%, not to mention that faith will generate more amidst chaos and death.
This indicates that a problem has occurred in one of the components, most likely the Celestial Rail System, or perhaps there was a thief.
However, Fire God used his authority to investigate for several days, even leaving the Divine Court to conduct a physical investigation on the Celestial Rail, but found no problems. The data flow was normal, the energy flow was normal, and the distribution of Power of Faith was normal.
However, the total amount is less; some of the Power of Faith seems to have gone nowhere and was not collected.
"It's also possible that this generation's main magical god stole the Celestial Orbit System from the Magic Network. Although the probability is low, this guess is better than the world's rules not allowing the generation of faith power..."
The Fire God muttered something, stood up, and prepared to first find the current Magic Chief God, and also see what new and interesting things her Demon Network contained.
A commotion arose from the center of the distant Divine Court. The Fire God glanced over and saw that several Chief Gods had gathered together.
It seems that a new level 100 hero has arrived in the Divine Court. Several Chief Gods have designated him for their inheritance, and the number of Chief Gods' inheritances is inexplicably increasing, from three to nine.
A mortal being chosen by the inheritance of nine Chief Gods simultaneously is unprecedented in the history of the Divine Court.
It's strange, someone born to be a Chief God has appeared.
He withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention. The commotion in the Divine Court was irrelevant to him; he was only concerned with the source of darkness and the direction of faith.
The Fire God left the Divine Court, the Order Chief God, holding a candle and a whip, searched for the Command Chief God within the Divine Court, Ming Yuanwu was troubled about which divine position to accept, and the Goddess of Light was resting and idling away.
Everyone faces a dark Future.
