Submission

The other three, besides Steven, fared much worse.

They don't have a backer as strong as Steven.

Despite the intimidating name of the Church of the God of Light, they actually have no connection with the Chief God of Light.

It was purely created by the first Light Pope to collect faith and comprehend the laws.

The god they worshipped was actually this Light Pope himself.

When Philias looked at the three of them, they immediately felt immense pressure.

His gaze seemed to weigh a ton as it pressed down on the three of them.

The three of them instinctively wanted to look away, unable to meet his gaze.

"Submit or die, choose one." Philias spoke domineeringly again, as his Divine Domain enveloped the three of them. He wanted to make them see the difference in power completely, so as to shatter the last hope in their hearts.

Steven remained silent. He had no right to speak; the fact that he hadn't been forced to submit was already out of respect for the Chief God behind him, and he couldn't afford to be ungrateful.

He finally understood that this person had asked him to be a witness, and also to give him a warning.

Osiris, the first Light Pope, and the Beast King fought with all their might, even temporarily cooperating to fight against Philias.

The three deployed their Divine Domain and cooperated to deal with Philias's Divine Domain.

Even so, they struggled to cope, as if they were about to be overwhelmed at any moment.

"Heh." Philias looked at their performance and smiled contemptuously.

A dark green figure emerged from his body, and at the same time, a Divine Domain overlapped with it.

The superimposed Divine Domain of the two High-level God completely suppressed the three of them. Their Divine Domain were instantly shattered, and they were even backfired, causing their Divine Power to become chaotic.

This was truly a desperate situation; the three felt utterly hopeless.

One High-level God could easily suppress them, and this one even has a High-level God Clone?

"I surrender." In the end, the first Light Pope could not withstand the pressure and chose to surrender.

"Hahaha, good." Philias released his hold on him, giving him a chance to catch his breath.

Without the First Light Pope to share the burden, Osiris and the Beast King were in even worse shape.

"My lord, I am willing to hand over my forces to you and grant me my freedom. I will immediately travel to the Divine Plane." The Beast King attempted to exchange his forces for his freedom.

"I'm willing too." Osiris immediately followed suit. As long as he could leave, he was willing to do anything. Let whoever wants to stay in this Tara Plane of the ditch stay; he was going to the Divine Plane.

If he can escape this time, he will immediately head to the Divine Plane.

"No, you must pledge allegiance to me," Philias refused outright.

He escaped the Plane Prison through Spatial Turbulence, nearly dying in the process, so naturally he couldn't take any of his subordinates with him.

No problem, they're just subordinates. We can just recruit them again in the Tara Plane.

Here, he doesn't have to worry about getting out all the time like he does in the Plane Prison. He can build a stable force, starting with unifying the Tara Plane.

He's already planning to build up his power base, and he'll be going to the Divine Plane realm in the future. How can he manage without a few capable subordinates?

He can't possibly have to personally intervene every time he encounters a Mid-level God, can he? That would be too beneath him. Doesn't he have any pride?

The two men looked conflicted; once they pledged allegiance, they would lose their freedom, and even their deaths would be beyond their control.

Philias dared to make them pledge allegiance, so he must have had the means to do so; perhaps the contract was already prepared.

Once you sign, there's no escaping it.

To be or not to be, that is a multiple-choice question.

While we might want to shout, "Give me liberty or give me death!", how many people can truly do it when faced with a life-or-death decision?

Seeing this, Philias intensified his efforts to suppress the two.

Seeing that Philias was growing impatient and about to run out of patience, preparing to teach the two a lesson, the two finally lowered their proud heads.

The first Light Pope nodded inwardly. He had already knelt; if these two didn't kneel, where would he put his face?

Of course, he would prefer that the two of them not kneel, thus enraging the High-level God before him, who would then kill them outright.

After all, as the dominant figures in their respective planes, these individuals have considerable conflicts with each other due to their rivalry over interests.

He would be even happier if those two were killed on the spot.

However, I can accept that these two will suffer misfortune along with me.

The main message is: if I'm not having a good time, you won't have a good time either.

Seeing everyone else suffer made him feel better.

Unfortunately, Steven didn't suffer the same misfortune.

This High-level God is a bit of a coward. He's just Plane Overseer, right? If he's so capable, why doesn't he take him down? He's so arrogant, isn't he?

Afterwards, Philias forced the three to sign a pact, pledging allegiance to him for one hundred million years. This essentially meant that the three would remain loyal to him until their deaths.

Unless he dies, the three of them will never find peace in this lifetime.

Richard was completely unaware of everything that was happening here.

Out of caution, he dared not use his divine sense to investigate, lest he be discovered by this unknown High-level God.

When Osiris returned, he summoned all his Low-level God and announced that the entire Osiris Empire was under the rule of the great Philias.

The great Philias is High-level God, and it is an honor for the Osiris Empire to submit to his command, and so on.

Although reluctant, I still had to say the polite words; who knew if Lord Philias was watching this place with his divine sense?

If Richard knew what he was thinking, he would tell him: Yes, Philias really is watching this place.

Meanwhile, the same scene played out on the side of the Beast King and the first Light Pope.

Thus, the Tara Plane changed hands.

The era of the great Philias's reign has begun.

Those Low-level God who didn't join the ranks of the three Mid-level God won't escape either; the three Mid-level God have already gone to notify each of these Low-level God.

The three of them didn't escape, and you think you can? No way! You all must pledge your allegiance to the great Lord Philias.

Thus, even on the distant Scarborough Continent, Kailina could not escape the Fate of pledging allegiance to Philias.

It's like being at home when disaster strikes out of nowhere; by then, it was too late for her to escape to the Divine Plane.

She didn't even know what had happened; Philias acted too quickly, directly attacking several Mid-level God.

While all the Low-level God were unaware of what was happening, the entire Tara Plane was already under his control.

It wasn't until she asked her other God Level friends that she understood what had happened. A High-level God had suddenly appeared and conquered all the Mid-level God with overwhelming power. No one could escape; they all pledged their allegiance to this god.

She was on the verge of tears; what a terrible situation!

I should have gone to the Divine Plane sooner. But the good news is that these Low-level God only verbally pledged their allegiance; there was no mandatory binding force.

Of course, this was simply because Philias disdained to have these Low-level God sign a contract.

In his mind, controlling these few Mid-level God was enough; he didn't even consider the low- Low-level God a threat.

In his eyes, even Low-level God was not as valuable as the contract he held that allowed him to control God Level powerhouse.

They are only scarce in the Material Plane; in Plane Prison, they are plentiful.

There will definitely be many more in the Divine Plane in the future, and there will even be many Mid-level God.

With his strength, he could even forcibly subdue ordinary High-level God, and at that point, he might not even look down on Mid-level God.

Of course, it was precisely this disdain that allowed Richard to continue to hide.

If he forced Low-level God to sign loyalty contracts, Richard would definitely explode at him.

If things don't go well, I can always just run away to another group of friends.

Want him to sign an allegiance contract? Dream on.

As for now, we can continue to hide, at least our public identity must be concealed.

Meanwhile, Philias was searching the world.

At that time, after Osiris and his two companions pledged their allegiance to him, they believed that "if I am not doing well, I must not let the enemy do well either."

So without hesitation, they reported to him the mysterious Mid-level God had recently beaten up the three of them, along with the Plane Overseer Steven, and who was now hiding somewhere.

But one thing is certain: that guy definitely didn't go to the Divine Plane through the Plane Teleportation Array.

There's a very high chance they're still hiding somewhere in the Tara Plane.

Philias was very interested in this fellow inmate Mid-level God who also appeared to have come from the Plane Prison and possessed considerable strength.

Such a capable fighter should be put to his use.

After monitoring several Mid-level God who announced their allegiance to him, he went out to find this Mid-level God was hiding very well.

He wanted to see where this guy was hiding, since he hadn't found him after scanning the entire plane with his divine sense.

This time he searched the entire plane very carefully, leaving no suspicious place unchecked, but still found nothing.

If those guys hadn't spoken with such conviction, he would have suspected they were conspiring to deceive him.

Meanwhile, Richard was unaware that the High-level God was going to great lengths to find him.

His Earth Element Divine Clone is currently overseeing the construction of a palace for that High-level God, along with several other Low-level God.

This man had a penchant for extravagance, demanding that his palace be built in a magnificent, opulent style, with walls made of gold.

Many level 8 or 9 Warrior, as well as Mage and even Saint Domain Mage, were brought in to do the work.

These guys, who would have a good status elsewhere, have become mere laborers here; even the Saint Domain Mage haven't gained much more prestige.

Who can blame them when the supervisors are all God Level experts?

Rare building materials from all over the world are being shipped here like they're free.

It can only be said that the barren Plane Prison hindered Philias's performance.

In other words, Richard had already robbed several of the Mid-level God, otherwise he wouldn't have let their little wallets go.

He didn't even care about the meager wealth of the Low-level God.
