Old Gods

Moweidina's eyes held a hint of surprise.

She hadn't expected that this magical genius, whom she hadn't paid much attention to before, would be able to produce such amazing results.

But actually, if you think about it carefully, it's understandable.

Kalisi was able to lead a group of survivors in a relatively peaceful life and reproduce in the central part of the continent, where mad gods were densely concentrated.

That in itself is proof.

She did not receive any help from Moweidina during this period.

This rare Talent and ability is even more precious than that of the Hero Knight Luoseda, who was secretly helped by Moweidina countless times.

Of course, this is not to say that Luoseda is incompetent.

Luoseda was essentially a very just, Order, yet not pedantic, upright man with a spirit of sacrifice; his qualities were impeccable.

Without Moweidina's secret help, such a person would have died quite quickly in an environment like the apocalypse caused by divine calamity.

But Moweidina needs someone like that to be one of the Greater God of the future world.

The ascension of such a person to godhood is itself a perfection of the world Order.

Compared to Kalisi, Luoseda is more valuable to her, so even if she knew about Kalisi's Talent earlier, she would still choose Luoseda.

The tall trees of Divine Concealment City cast long shadows on the low magic tower floor, their reflections cast by the blood-tinged sunlight.

As the sun sets, its golden light bathes the entire Mount Fetlora in a golden glow.

After a moment's hesitation, a smile appeared on Moweidina's face.

"Okay, Kalisi, I'll trust you this once."

"We'll give you another twenty years. After twenty years, you'll join our ranks with your Exile Array."

Upon hearing this, Kalisi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your understanding and support, dear Lady of Truth."

"Yes, hurry up. The Path to Godhood is not just talk. You need time to study the construction of your Divine Kingdom. Twenty years from now, I hope to see your kingdom in the heavens."

Moweidina still gave some instructions.

"Yes, I will, ma'am, please don't worry."

Kalisi nodded quickly.

"Alright, then I'll be going."

Moweidina waved her hand and vanished silently from Kalisi's sight.

This shocked Kalisi again.

She frowned in thought.

"There was no fluctuation in space, no change in the laws of time, and no activation of any spells within the Holy Tower. How was this achieved?"

"It's like jumping directly from the real world to another dimension?"

Thinking of this, she shook her head again and laughed at herself.

"Dimensional shifts Authority that only the Creator can wield. Although this former Goddess of Wisdom possesses unparalleled intelligence, she probably cannot accomplish this."

"Forget it, I only have twenty years left."

She walked to a high chair in the hall and sat down. After pondering for a while in the shadows of the sunlight, she used her Demigod powers to open the door and called out.

"Todd, come in here for a moment."

A handsome, weathered middle-aged man entered the hall, placed his hand on his chest, and bowed.

"Greetings, Lord."

"Issue my order: from this day forward, remove the restrictive magic array, lift all restrictions on the movement of Divine Concealment City, and encourage childbirth."

Kalisi spoke.

"Ah, remove the magic array and release the restrictions?"

"Lord, we are located at the Mount Fetlora, surrounded by mad gods. If we open up, we are likely to be discovered by them, thus shattering our peaceful life of the past few decades."

"We've worked so hard to grow from a few thousand people to what we are today; we can't afford to take unnecessary risks."

"Although you need more faith to become a deity, you can accumulate it gradually at your current pace."

Todd tried to dissuade him.

"I know, Todd, I know all of that."

Kalisi sighed and began to explain.

"Lady of Truth, Moweidina, just came by."

She said that if I did not become a god, the seven gods were already preparing to exclude me and begin to purge the mad Old God from the earth.

"You're a smart person; you know what this means."

The middle-aged, weathered man immediately frowned.

"This is not just about the seven gods starting to eliminate the Old God and sweep away the old world; it's also about laying the foundation for the Order of the future new world and dividing the power of discourse."

He sighed.

"Indeed, we can no longer proceed with the old, cautious approach."

"Then, Lady Kalisi, how much time do we have?"

"Twenty years, we only have twenty years."

"Kalisi said through gritted teeth."

"How much faith do you need at the very least to become a god?"

Todd asked again.

Two hundred thousand people!

"Kalisi affirmed."

"Only the faith of two hundred thousand people can support the Divine Kingdom that is about to rise in my land."

"I see!"

Todd knelt on one knee and spoke in the most resolute and devout tone.

"Lord Kalisi, within twenty years, Divine Concealment City will surely become the foundation upon your ascension to godhood!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

On the other side.

Moweidina returned to the place where the Seven Gods had agreed to meet.

That is, Landeblair.

This is the territory of Luoseda God of Order and Justice; it is a place where everyone can rest assured.

Moweidina revealed Kalisi's demands and the Exile Array, as well as her promise to give her another twenty years.

Of the six gods, only the gods of life and death in Wind and Sand City God of Life and Final Stillness were slightly dissatisfied; the rest of the gods expressed their agreement.

The Kobold was dissatisfied because his Wind and Sand City had expanded the fastest in recent years, already occupying several large oases.

He himself had fought against several of the Old God in the desert, so naturally he was the most worried.

However, Lady of Truth Moweidina, was highly respected, and his dissatisfaction had no effect; he could only wait another twenty years.

Seventeen years later.

An ordinary afternoon.

As the people of the Landeblair Basin prepare to return home for a nice afternoon nap.

The magical Element throughout the world instantly surged into a frenzy.

Endless magical energy converged towards the center of the continent.

then.

Amidst the hymns of hundreds of thousands, a seven-colored Divine Kingdom ascended into the Divine Kingdom, where a beautiful goddess with long, flowing hair stood, holding a long wooden staff.

"By the Creator."

"I, Kalisi, now raise the Divine Kingdom high in the heavens and ascend to the Godly Seat of the God of Magic."

"I will forever remember my duty to explore magic and protect all living beings."

The Goddess of Magic Kalisi, succeeded.

Seven days later.

Outside Landeblair, there is still that lawn surrounded by stone pillars, which people call Stonehenge.

late at night.

Under the witness of the stars.

Eight gods carved their names and vows beneath a pristine white stone pillar, pledging to cleanse the world of its mad Old God and re-establish world Order.
