"Actively initiate a 'God War'..."
Li Yue raised an eyebrow.
He had only experienced a "God War" once.
The series of battles in the Twin Star Deity Confrontation Gala didn't count, after all. No one actually died in the gala.
But a "God War"—
Was a fight to the death!
It was a complete method of raising Gu.
The victor gained all the Believers the defeated deity had painstakingly amassed. Even Believers who died in the Believer War would leave behind their souls, which would change their faith.
On top of that, the victor could also obtain the divine power the defeated deity had left.
It could be said—
A "God War" completely treated the defeated deity as nourishment, strengthening the victor.
If a deity could win one battle after another in a "God War," emerging victorious in a hundred battles, the speed of their advancement would be simply unimaginable.
Of course—
Such a deity could not exist.
Every "God War" was a fight for one's life.
It wasn't just the deities risking their lives. The Believers and Subordinate Gods were risking theirs, too.
The Believers and Subordinate Gods who died in the Believer War and Subordinate God War wouldn't all come back to life just because you won.
Dead was dead. Only their souls could be preserved.
But those preserved souls couldn't fight in the Believer War or Subordinate God War of the next "God War."
So there was no such thing as a deity winning battle after battle.
After a bloody battle, most of their Believers and Subordinate Gods would be dead or wounded.
How could they possibly win the Believer War and Subordinate God War in the next "God War"?
Losing the Believer War or Subordinate God War—
Meant having half your strength cut away, which was
