Corruption Goddess's Gift
"The entire Northlands is a cage."
"A cage set by the Corruption Goddess."
"A large slaughterhouse."
As a deity, Chen Changhe could sense that the power of the Corruption Godstone he held was essentially the same as the Divine Power within the Corruption Mists.
The Corruption Godstone absorbs the Corruption Divine Power primarily due to the special rules bestowed upon it by the Corruption Goddess.
However, this special rule can be granted and also cancelled.
"When the Northlands are covered with newly established territories."
"And then suddenly render the Corruption Godstone ineffective..."
That scene must be beautiful.
That Corruption Goddess really knows how to play the game!
Chen Changhe was certain.
The connection between Imperium Nefertari Vivi, the dragon, and the Corruption Goddess must be very close.
However, Chen Changhe didn't care.
When he officially returned to Blackwater Fief, he activated the territory.
His Orkification Lord Talent truly came into play; he was able to dispel the effects of the Corruption Divine Power without using the Corruption Godstone.
Ultimately, this is a contest of Divine Power.
Everyone here is at the level of Main God.
Who's afraid of whom between us?
The Corruption Divine Power possesses strong corrosive and aggressive properties.
However, the Waaagh Power is not inferior.
In terms of power and quality, the Waaagh Power is a level higher.
Chen Changhe doesn't need to worry about being at a disadvantage in this contest of strength.
"Besides..."
"Wait until my people are fully Orkification."
"They can breathe directly into the Corruption Mists."
"At most, the air quality will be a bit worse."
"Given their physical abilities after the Orkification, they're not even afraid of gutter oil, so why would they fear the Corruption Divine Power accompanying the Corruption Mists?"
"No way!"
Chen Changhe did not take a car, but walked on the ground.
He was standing on a grassy field.
After the appearance of the Corruption Mists, the plants also underwent abnormal changes.
The grass he trampled on was no exception.
The grass on the ground has now transformed into clumps of wriggling green tentacles.
Twisting and intertwining, each blade of grass seemed to possess a life of its own, constantly stretching and contracting, struggling desperately in agony.
The original fragrance of the plants had been replaced by a putrid stench that made one want to vomit.
However, apart from this, this mutated plant is not aggressive.
"This kind of grass can be eaten after being roasted over charcoal; it tastes quite good."
Vasili introduced it to Chen Changhe.
Having been stationed in the Northlands for many years, he knew the Northlands better than anyone else.
"However... you shouldn't eat too much."
"Otherwise you'll get diarrhea."
Vasili seemed to be recalling some unpleasant memory.
Chen Changhe nodded.
Given Vasili's previous physical condition, he might have gotten diarrhea.
However, given his current physical condition...
That's perfectly fine.
Vasili, who had already begun to Orkification, had significantly enhanced his digestive abilities.
Chen Changhe noted down the shapes of these grasses.
This territory consumes an astonishing amount of food.
Although he brought in a lot of grain this time.
However, since there are better alternatives.
Why waste money?
Because of the fog of Corruption Mists.
This kind of grass is everywhere.
Now he doesn't have to worry about food anymore.
In any case, after Orkification, humans have already reached a monstrous level of nutrient absorption efficiency.
Even if you eat grass every day, you can still provide your body with enough energy.
Moreover, this herb has absorbed the Divine Power of the Corruption Goddess.
Consuming it over a long period of time can indirectly allow one to profit from the Corruption Goddess.
Wouldn't it be better to leave their time and energy to serve and pray for the Ork God?
Chen Changhe asked a question.
I discovered that this plant has no name.
Chen Changhe simply named it "The Corruption Goddess's Gift".
After all, the creation of this crop owes a debt to the Corruption Goddess.
Several hours later, Chen Changhe and his entourage finally entered Blackwater Fief in a grand procession.
The entire Blackwater Fief consists of Blackwater City, three smaller territory cities, dozens of villages, and numerous logging camps, mines, and farms.
Chen Changhe first occupied a large farm.
Vasili's team had already cleared away the Corrupted Creatures from the farm.
Even the solution of Corruption Godstone used to irrigate the land has been completed.
With fewer than a thousand people, a farmhouse is more than enough to accommodate them.
Chen Changhe also had no intention of continuing to conquer other territories.
"Activating the territory first is more important."
With Chen Changhe officially taking over the farm, he chose it as the temporary residence of his lord.
His Divine Power was officially linked to this land, constantly flowing into the soil beneath his feet.
The Divine Power spread rapidly like a torrent, covering the entire farm and a large surrounding area.
With the infusion of Divine Power, Chen Changhe could clearly sense the subtle changes taking place on this land.
The land, which had been completely corrupted by the Corruption Mists decay, suddenly became fertile, and the vegetation began to shed its corrupt state, regain its original shape, and grow vigorously.
The putrid smell in the air completely disappeared, replaced by a rich, spiritual energy; the fresh air was invigorating.
He closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and calmed his mind.
At that moment, his body seemed to become one with the land.
When he stands on this land, he can feel the breath and power of this earth, as if he can hear the breath of every inch of soil and every plant.
The entire farm and the surrounding area seemed to be under Chen Changhe's control.
Chen Changhe seemed to have returned to his Divine Domain.
"Ordinary lords certainly couldn't do that."
"But I am not a lord."
It's God!
Ork God.
Chen Changhe is a deity disguised as a lord.
The changes that were taking place in the territory were observed by the people.
They were all terrified and knelt on the ground, chanting "waaaaagh".
On the way here, Chen Changhe did not slacken his efforts to brainwash and proselytize this group of people.
They have been spreading the Waaagh Codex to them, instilling in them the concept that the Ork God, Waaaaagh, is the greatest deity in this plane of existence and will ultimately rule this plane of existence.
The people were unfamiliar with terms like "dimensional world" and "Ancient God."
However, this does not prevent them from accepting that only followers of the Ork God waaaaagh can enter heaven and enjoy a wonderful afterlife.
The concept that, apart from the followers of Ork God, all followers of other gods are destined for hell after death.
This world has always been governed by a polytheistic worldview.
Here, everyone holds an unwavering faith in a particular deity.
However, it is worth noting that although they worship only specific deities, they also hold other deities in high esteem.
Even a dangerous figure like the Corruption Goddess, who is hostile to many deities, is still respectfully addressed as "Your Majesty Corruption Goddess" by the God's Chosen of the other gods.
This undoubtedly demonstrates a respect that transcends the boundaries between friend and foe, and also reflects the unique ecology of this world where gods coexist.
In this world, the gods do not exist in isolation; their relationships are complex, and humanity seeks its own way of survival amidst the conflicts among the gods.
In such circumstances, even for those God's Chosen, changing their faith is commonplace.
However, Chen Changhe embarked on the path of monotheistic deification.
The only deity to worship is the Ork God Waaaaagh; all other gods are false gods or Evil God.
In short, Chen Changhe chose to roll up his sleeves on the track of faith.
