Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 485 - 222 Main Quest of Plane War

The sudden system prompt stunned Lin Rui.

Not only did he not get beaten to death, but his loyalty actually increased?

At this moment, Wutong had already withdrawn her fair right hand and was frowning at Lin Rui.

Lin Rui felt a bit guilty. Which words exactly moved Wutong?

Wutong calmly asked an unrelated question: "Have you ever thought about why plane wars need to happen?"

Why engage in dimensional warfare?

The Chaos Gods seem to do it for entertainment; more specifically, to pass the time and amuse themselves with mortals. Playing chess and games—that’s their delight.

But this doesn’t explain why the Order Gods also participate in dimensional warfare.

One must know this world is full of holes, where all sorts of strange beings will jump out and invade the world.

Yet in this severe situation, the Order Gods still choose to send out the most outstanding batch of explorers from the territory leaderboard to participate in dimensional warfare.

Saying they’re out for resource plundering is nonsense.

What resources could compare to these brilliant talents?

It wouldn’t even be as bad as killing the hen to get the eggs. It’s like exchanging jade for rubble.

With the Earth Mother Goddess throwing money around like water each cycle, showering countless resources on all explorers, it doesn’t look like there’s any scarcity of resources.

Speaking of which, why does the Earth Mother Goddess distribute so much wealth to all resource points? Why don’t other deities?

Logically, whichever god the believers worship, that god should distribute plentiful resources through divine statues. That would make sense.

But the Earth Mother Goddess not only distributes resources to her own church’s believers but also showers resources indiscriminately to followers of the Church of Light, War God Church, Magic Church, Dark Church, Church of Fortune.

Despite distributing so many resources, she isn’t particularly revered, and other gods don’t show her special respect. There’s only a legend saying she’s the wealthiest goddess in the world, not even the most powerful.

This is quite interesting.

What exactly are these gods busy with after achieving their divine positions?

Before Lin Rui could figure it out, Wutong calmly said, "I can give you another chance. If you can get access to the main warline task in this plane war, what you wish for might not be impossible."

Lin Rui felt a rush of blood to his brain, shocked into blurting out, "You don’t mind getting married?"

He simply couldn’t imagine what it would be like for the Empress to get married. Such an unparalleled charm, such a dignified Empress, allowing a man to hold her down?

More importantly... that man might be him?

But from Wutong’s indifferent gaze, there was no hint of affection for him at all.

Wutong merely glanced at him, without any reply or reaction, then calmly put away the gift box and extended her hand.

Lin Rui didn’t understand and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Resources needed to enhance the Sacred Treasures."

Lin Rui immediately handed over the legendary-level spatial artifact [Revelation: Seventh Seal].

At that moment, Lin Rui didn’t care about the expense, even if it drained everything, he considered it as his bride price for marrying the Empress!

Besides, this enhancement of the Sacred Treasures would benefit the Golden Pansy Domain as well.

It wasn’t until Wutong’s indifferent departing figure vanished that Lin Rui returned to his senses, bewildered, and asked Su Xi, "What does Wutong mean?"

Su Xi expressionlessly asked, "Do you know the Duke of Champagne?"

"Duke of Champagne?" Lin Rui shook his head, "Never heard of them, what’s up?"

"Duke of Champagne, Elliaya, owns the vast and prosperous Champagne Duke’s Domain, one of the most powerful women in the empire. She married the Riceland Elector, thus greatly boosting the Riceland Elector’s power, overshadowing other electors to become the Emperor of the Empire."

Lin Rui was puzzled, asking, "So?"

"The current Emperor of Riceland Domain not only governs the Rickland Domain but also manages the Champagne Duke’s Domain."

Lin Rui’s eyes lit up and he said, "You mean Wutong wants to form a strategic marriage alliance with me, giving her empire to me?"

Su Xi expressionlessly said, "No, I mean you are in the role of Duke of Champagne, Elliaya."

What?

So, he wouldn’t become Wutong’s consort?

Lin Rui firmly said, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! As the Lord of the Golden Pansy Territory, how could I fall to the point of giving my land away?"

Su Xi couldn’t be bothered to retort, simply asking, "Will Wutong participate in the plane war?"

"Well..." It’s really hard to say. Not to mention her attitude, even if she wanted to participate, who would dare send her in?

Besides, if she stayed behind and he died in the plane war, it seemed natural that she would be the first in line to inherit the territory.

There’s no rule that an Empress can only have one foundation.

If this became her second foundation, her second home, she would naturally invest emotions in this territory. Maybe using this territory, she could reclaim her past world... if it still existed.

But Lin Rui quickly swept away these rambling thoughts from his mind.

Forget about dying in battle, forget about the inheritance, keep all that away!

He certainly wouldn’t die in battle, he must reach the dimensional warfare’s main line, and maybe even marry the Empress, possess her supreme beauty, and reach the pinnacle of life!

And not long after Lin Rui firmed his resolve, Lei ran up to him and handed the spatial artifact back to him.
