The Era of Gods-Chapter 640 - Plotting
Chapter 640: Chapter 640 Plotting
In this world, there are only three Powerful Divine Forces. Hundreds of years ago, there were only two, the Justice God and the Chaos God. The Sun God had recently ascended. These two ancient Powerful Divine Forces have always been suppressing many True Gods qualified to ascend to Powerful Divine Force status.
Lin Xiao could predict that there would be no victor in the divine war between them and the Magic God. Should any hint of victory arise, the Justice God or the Chaos God would absolutely interfere to maintain balance, preventing the birth of a new Powerful Divine Force.

The normal ascension path is now practically impassable, unless he is capable of withstanding the three Powerful Divine Forces, or unless the three Powerful Divine Forces are too preoccupied to act…
“Wait a minute!”
Lin Xiao stroked his chin, a sudden flash of inspiration striking his mind.
...
He may not have had the ability to withstand the three Powerful Divine Forces, but perhaps he could make them too preoccupied to act.
He didn’t need to threaten them, for he had nothing that could threaten all three Powerful Divine Forces at once. But if it was merely about attracting their attention, he had a way.
For instance, Ancient God’s Divinity.
Or a Divine Artifact or treasure that could greatly enhance the strength of a Powerful Divine Force, these could attract their gaze.
After all, maintaining their unique status is important, but even more crucial is obtaining a treasure that can elevate their strength. Given that in this world, Powerful Divine Force is the limit and extremely difficult to advance, the Justice God and the Chaos God, even after ascending for tens of thousands of years, are only at God Level 19. If they could get their hands on a treasure that boosts their God Level, they would certainly fight to the death over it. Their “dog brains” would come out, and they wouldn’t care about their own disputes at all.
Lin Xiao reestablished communication with his girlfriend, using his accumulated authority as a brigadier general from over the years, and the resources of the Giant God Combat Team that had yet to be claimed, he applied to the fifth War Zone for a damaged Fragment of Godhood containing a powerful Godhood—Order.
This was one of the spoils of war from an admiral in the fifth War Zone after defeating a Powerful Divine Force in a certain world. Because the Godhood was incompatible and it was a fragment, it wasn’t used, and it was stored in the war zone’s inner vault for exchange by high-ranking officers at the fortress.
As an elite brigadier general of the war zone, Lin Xiao had already reached the level of the military’s upper echelons and was qualified to exchange.
Every brigadier general’s benefits are extremely high. Even without doing anything, the annual basic resource allocation would make middle and lower-ranked officers green with envy.
Lin Xiao hadn’t used any of his accumulated allocation over the years; he’d saved it all—and now it was just the occasion to use it.
It was just a pity that this was only a Fragment of Godhood, containing incomplete rules. The level of mastery of the Order Godhood obtained after refining was too low, and it was unknown how many years it would take to meet the conditions for ascending to the main Powerful Divine Force position. Otherwise, he would have taken it for refining himself, using the Order Godhood as the Main Godhood to ascend to Powerful Divine Force.
For a Powerful Divine Force, the primary purpose of this Fragment of Godhood was the Order Godhood it contained.
The so-called Order Godhood is one of the basic Godhoods of a world, such as earth, fire, wind, and water; order and chaos; darkness and light. These types of Godhood, which involve the fundamental operation of the world, are exceptionally powerful.
If the Justice God were to obtain the Order Godhood, the combined power would immediately put the Chaos God under pressure.
Yes, among the three Powerful Divine Forces, the Chaos God is the strongest, the Justice God the second, and the Lord of the Sun the third.
For the Lord of the Sun, the Order Godhood is equally important. Once obtained, his strength would immediately skyrocket. Just give him some time to digest the Order Godhood and make it his Main Deity Position, and he would immediately become the Supreme Main God of Order. Add in his Sun Godhood, and his power would leapfrog the two senior Powerful Divine Forces, making him the number one god in the world.
As for the Chaos God, there’s not much need for the Order Godhood—order and chaos are absolutely opposed and cannot coexist.
But for the Chaos God, it doesn’t matter if it can’t be used—it must absolutely prevent the Justice God and the Sun God from getting their hands on it, so it would definitely intervene. In doing so…
Half a year later, a crystal box wrapped and sealed with layers of divine scripts appeared in Lin Xiao’s hands. Despite the hundreds of layers of divine power seals, he could feel the presence of the power of order around the box.
“This must be from a top-notch Powerful Divine Force close to Level 19,” he mused, clicking his tongue. To be honest, he was somewhat reluctant, but without ascension to a Powerful Divine Force, holding onto it would be pointless. He didn’t have time to slowly study and start from scratch to master the Order Godhood.
Two years later, a declaration of divine war shook the entire Hall of All Gods.
The Lord Excavator of the Dark God System, in the Dark Territory, together with the Magic God, declared war on the Magic God, initiating a battle to seize Godhood.
This caused a stir in the entire Hall of All Gods, alarming countless True Gods.
Within the Hall of All Gods, countless True Deity Incarnations appeared on their thrones. Even the aloof three Powerful Divine Forces cast their watchful eyes toward the Hall of All Gods, focusing on the two powerful entities ranked second and fifth under the three Powerful Divine Forces on the first tier.
The gods watched with a mix of concern, excitement, or complex gazes, with many Descenders from Different Domains being the most thrilled.
Whenever a great war begins, it’s the best time to fish in troubled waters.
God of Fear Vides cloaked himself in darkness to conceal his greedy and excited gaze, and a female voice appeared out of nowhere in his ear:
“Lord Vides, shall we assist the Magic God?”
He shook his head and said,
“No need, observe first!”
“The God of Ground Dwellers is a human Descender. If he gets promoted to Powerful Divine Power, we won’t stand a chance. Are you sure we shouldn’t stop him?”
God of Fear Vedas smiled and shook his head,
“There’s no need for us to act. Neither the Justice God nor the Chaos God will allow his promotion. We don’t need to draw the attention of other gods. It’s best to prosper in the shadows.”
He paused, then continued,
“Gather all True Gods in this world later to discuss how we can seize benefits from the upcoming upheaval.”
“Alright.”
Such conversations appeared in the secret exchanges among the various True Gods, not only among the many gods of Other Races but also among the Native deities.
The entire world was simmering with tension due to the war declarations from the two Powerful God Systems. Countless True Gods were eager, ready to act, hoping to gain a share in the chaos.
However, to the surprise of all True Gods, there were no battles for an entire year following the war declaration. The gods of the Dark God System remained hidden in their God Countries, and no armies were seen on the surface of the mortal realm – the Magic God System was the same. It was as if nothing had happened. If it wasn’t for the fact that the kingdoms within the Magic God System’s jurisdiction were all preparing for war, those unaware would really believe that nothing had taken place.
Yet, surprising as it was, no one was impatient. Divine wars among True Gods are usually prolonged conflicts, not to mention a war involving two Powerful God Systems. It wasn’t uncommon for there to be no battles for ten years as part of the initial preparations, so nobody was in a hurry.
At this very moment, Lin Xiao had withdrawn all his incarnations to prevent any accidents.
The three Powerful Divine Powers had many ways to suppress and meddle with him. The simplest was to destroy a few of his godly incarnations during critical moments of the war.
It should be known that it’s not easy to condense a single incarnation. The stronger the deity, the more troublesome it is to condense an incarnation. It doesn’t just consume a vast amount of Divine Power, but also requires significant Divinity and Soul of God division, and the process itself takes a great deal of time. In critical wartime moments, there definitely wouldn’t be enough time to condense new ones.
To avoid being caught off guard, not just him, but all the True Gods of the Divine System had recalled their incarnations.
In the grand center of the enormous God Country, the Main God Palace towered high. Lin Xiao sat at the head, with many subordinate gods seated below.
On one side were the gods from the Dark Territory that he had conquered, led by Zoel and the God of Plunder, including the God of Ogres, Wilderness God, and gods of the underworld and reptiles. On the other side were the subordinate deities that had descended later and been enthroned, led by the God of War and Victory, including the gods of seasons and climate, God of Laws, and Agriculture and Harvest God, among others.
Unlike the chaotic and disorderly godhoods of the gods from the Dark Territory he had previously conquered, those gods who descended later and were enthroned had carefully chosen divinities, each very useful.
As everyone knows, a Divine System is like a kingdom, the more perfect its rules, the stronger it is.
Therefore, the godhoods he prepared for his new subordinates complemented the rules of the Divine System. For instance, the God of War and Victory being the strongest because the Main God’s Divine System engages in external conquest.
There’s no need to explain the importance of the Agriculture and Harvest God. In this ancient Different Domain, what’s most crucial is to have enough food. As long as there is sufficient food, more followers can be raised, which is critical.
The God of Fertility and Reproduction and the God of Healing and Purification are used to enhance the reproductive speed of followers. In fact, as time goes on in Lin Xiao’s Divine Realm, the gods gradually acquired new godhoods that were beneficial to the realm on top of their original positions.
Other positions like the God of Laws, God of Wisdom and Knowledge, God of Craftsmanship and Forge, and God of Merchants, were all godhoods that sufficiently complement and perfect the Divine System.
The more perfect the godhoods possessed by the gods within a Divine System, the more powerful it will be.
Lin Xiao had early on encouraged these Indigenous True Gods to change, but due to limited thinking, the effect was minimal. They were mostly satisfied with a few racial godhoods they controlled and interested in other powerful godhoods. They had no interest in acquiring other useful godhoods that were beneficial to the Divine System but did little for combat strength or promotion.
After a while, he gave up. If they were unwilling, it was better to focus on cultivating his own subordinates.
Seated at the highest position in the Divine Palace, Lin Xiao’s gaze swept over the seventeen subordinate gods in the palace. Compared to the Magic God System’s fifty to sixty members, his fellows were much fewer, but on average, they were stronger than those of the Magic God System.
Lin Xiao had no unnecessary words. Everything had already been said. Not only he but all the gods of the Divine System had no way out. They all signed Styx Oaths when joining. There was no room for regret. If the Divine System were defeated, the outcome for everyone would be dire. So…
He said in a grave voice,
“You all know the consequences of failure in the battle against the Magic God System. I need not elaborate. In this war, we must win; defeat is not an option.”
His gaze swept over the faces of the subordinate gods, some tense, some apprehensive, some excited, and he continued,
“To better prepare you all for danger, I will soon open the Faith Waterfall.”
At his words, all subordinate gods’ faces lit up with ecstasy.
