Faser, high above the heavens.

More than a hundred deities sat upon their thrones, eyes closed in meditation.

This was the place where the Sky God convened the meeting of the gods.

However, since the Lava Demon God and Naseng’s demon gods descended, the gods had all fallen into slumber.

They used slumber to ensure they wouldn’t perish.

The damage the Lava Demon God caused to Faser was immense!

Of course, this was only in the eyes of the gods.

After all, in their eyes, Faser existed for them.

And now, the faith in the gods from Faser is weakening, to the point where a Great Mage proposed the "Tool God" theory.

The "Tool God" was proposed by Buck, or rather, Lin Ke, representing a kind of transaction between gods and mortals.

When there’s no water, mortals would use faith power to exchange for water, such as having the Water God send some rain.

Though this was humiliating, at least many gods saw a chance to exist again.

Thus, the deities slumbered, with power handed over to the Popes.

The world changed.

...

"Creak..."

A slight sound.

This was the Sky God at the very top moving a finger!

This noise was as faint as a fly rubbing its legs, or an ant closing its mouth, but to the gods, it was like a thunderclap.

"That great presence... has arrived..."

The Sky God’s voice resounded, devoid of emotion.

But that instant of finger movement made it clear to the deities that the Sky God’s heart was far from calm.

Calm?

How could it be calm!

Not long ago, their once supreme deity, who was to become the God of Gods, King of Gods, the one all gods worshiped, was seized.

As if like a tiny duckling, it was plucked away by an immense hand reaching for the skies.

That hand was ordinary, without any fluctuations of magic or divine power, just like a normal person’s hand, even a bit chubby.

Yet, this seemingly ordinary and slightly fat hand tore open the void of the Faser Plane, tore through the Plane Crystal Wall of Faser, and breeched the Divine Kingdom’s barrier of the Sky God.

All the laws and magic powers around the Sky God were instantly crushed by that hand, unable to resist for even a second.

Next, the Sky God couldn’t even let out a scream before being seized.

A chick or duckling caught in the hand would at least make a sound.

The Sky God couldn’t utter a sound.

Then, in less than a minute, the Sky God was thrown back, face full of terror.

No god knew what happened to the Sky God in that less than a minute.

No deity dared to ask, but everyone speculated privately.

It was surely Naseng, an even greater power behind the Lava Demon God.

And now, seeing the Sky God’s unrest, it was apparent that someone from Naseng had indeed arrived.

"Deities, awaken together with me to welcome the supreme arrival of His Majesty Lin Ke."

The Sky God’s voice was steady and calm, exuding an aura of natural authority.

Someone not in the know would think the Sky God was always unflappable in the face of danger!

"The Duke of... Lava is here?"

"Yes, the great, supreme, and unmatched Duke of Lava, Your Highness!"

"Our belief, our beacon, our Divine King!"

The incarnations of the gods suddenly became spirited.

Calling him Your Majesty on one side, and Duke on the other, it seemed contradictory, but no one found it odd.

Whether truthful or not, these deities displayed fanaticism, as if Lin Ke truly was their deity, and they his fanatical believers.

After all, these gods had been prayed to daily by their saints and devout followers, so they knew this routine like the back of their hand.

One might say they hadn’t eaten pork, but they’d seen pigs run.

The more zealous the deities acted, the more complicated the Sky God’s mood became.

He, towards Lin Ke, had long lost any feelings of resistance or hostility.

Merely recalling that terrifying existence who once conversed with the Duke of Lava was enough for his godhood to feel shaken, as if on the brink of explosion.

Frightening!

Utterly terrifying!

Just the memory of it made his godhood tremble!

With an inward sigh, the Sky God stood up with his face to the ground, like the most loyal and humble servant greeting his master, rising, and leading the fervent deities to descend to the mortal realm together.

Faser, the capital of the Fan Ye Party.

Here, people came and went, crowded as far as the eye could see.

Everyone came to witness the great achievements of Buck.

This was the great cause that overthrew the gods!

And in such a situation, issues such as public order, food, housing, and many other problems became extremely important.

For instance, in a certain very important hall at the moment, there was a huge teleportation array.

It was heavily guarded here.

Including a hundred-man Demon Pattern Knight Order, a ten-man Demon Pattern Great Magic Guide Team, and a powerful entity above level twenty, whether a deity or a Magic Pattern Mage was possible.

Because this was a Space-Time Teleportation Array!

A large-scale space-time teleportation array from Faser to Naseng!

Originally, this space-time teleportation array did not exist.

It was after Naseng’s forces were taken away that Sleepless gave Lin Ke the Plane Key of Faser, and Lin Ke sent people to set it up.

At this moment, the long dormant space-time portal emitted a faint light.

In an instant, a group of people appeared here.

These were the strong guards stationed here!

"Arrived?"

"Lord Buck... no, Lord Lin Ke has returned?"

"It must be! It’s the great King of Lava, Buck... Lin Ke!"

"Quickly report to Lord Andor and Lady Bai Bing! Lady Yongge is in the south, but she can also come quickly!"

"Fantastic, Lord Lin Ke has returned to lead us!"

These strong beings were one more excited than the other.

Because they knew that this time, the ones coming through the teleportation array were obviously those using the Plane Key mentioned in records and not through another space-time teleportation array.

The Plane Key was only in the hands of Lord Lin Ke!

And following their orders, one servant after another swiftly went to the adjacent room to work on a row of magic brains, tapping on them.

This was something Lin Ke created, similar to a computer.

Though primitive, it held great potential.

While the strong beings were excited, the gods descended.

Led by the Sky God, the gods descended outside this grand hall.

They hid their bodies, silently waiting outside the hall.

Before long, they sensed the fluctuations of space-time, knowing that the one had arrived.

So one by one, they arranged their expressions and postures, ensuring that what appeared in Lin Ke’s eyes was one of excitement, fervor, and humble worship.

However, just then, as Lin Ke had just arrived, his voice instantly spread around.

"Faser, prepare for battle!"

"Great Wilderness City plans to attack the former invaders, this is our chance for revenge!"

"It’s the Forest Hut! The one that once used our civilians as shields and feasted on them as blood food!"

"So, join the Great Wilderness Army, let the Forest Hut see that once-invaded we have stood up!"
