Within the Dark God System, headed by Kaguya, with Yao Yao as second master, combat effectiveness was the strongest. They liked fighting very much.
The goddesses at the bottom couldn't be said to be miserable—just looked down upon. And the stronger the goddess, the more popular she was.
It belonged to the god system with the most obvious law of the jungle. As long as a goddess was motivated, this was definitely the best choice. After all, there were two gods in charge.
And since Bai Suzhen became a god, coupled with the support of the Tu Shan sisters, a group of goddesses who didn't want to practice every day became independent, thus forming the Demon Spirit System.
It could be regarded as a line between the dark and light factions, just with less strict requirements. There wouldn't be a battle every seven days.
There were many goddesses in this department. And the newly promoted god, Golden Elf Galadriel, had also joined this faction at Bai Suzhen's invitation.
On the whole, they were made up of goddesses who weren't of human identity. Like the first batch of goddesses—Shirahoshi, Hancock—and the current Tu Shan sisters. There were always many people together, and the number was actually not small.
In fact, this was very easy to understand. With more than one goddess, there would naturally be more thoughts.
In the current god systems, the Life God System had the largest number of people. Even if Jade Spirit was a monster, she still chose to stay in the Life God System, like a housemaid every day, doing research in the Temple of Life. Uncontested.
The Light God System was completely a dove faction. Apart from fighting against the Dark God System, they practiced and played every day, belonging to the Salted Fish Faction.
Although Shi Feixuan and others tried their best to urge the goddesses under their command to practice, on one hand, the qualifications were there. On the other hand, those joining this faction rarely liked fighting like Xueqi did.
As a result, their combat effectiveness had become the weakest. Fortunately, Kikyo and other witches had recently joined, so things would probably become more lively.
Yunluo thought for a while and finally chose the Dark God System. Xue Ji chose the Light God System. Haitang had no intention to fight and chose the Life God System.
When it was Piaoxu's turn, she chose the Demon Spirit God System.
The reason was very simple—she felt the fox demon sister before her was very kind and helpful to her future development.
Piaoxu had her own careful thoughts. She felt that since the god liked her, what other choice was better than pleasing the god?
Though young at this time, Piaoxu's mind wasn't simple. The fox demons in the Demon Spirit line must be skilled in matters between men and women.
When learning divine arts, she could just ask for some advice. If she could dual cultivate with the god...
Piaoxu's face slowly turned pink. The young girl's love had already begun.
And how could Tu Shan Honghong know her thoughts? The fox demon was best at this skill, so gathering hearts and recruiting goddesses didn't need advertising. Just standing there was a golden sign!
Hehe... didn't you see that naive Sea Emperor Ji? Under her own training, she knew how to serve the god. So her own god system was created with Divine Ling's approval as well.
With new members for a while, Tu Shan Yaya naturally needed to show the other party around and explain the shrine's rules along the way.
"We goddesses can fight or be jealous of each other, but there's a limit to everything. The god likes to see us stay vibrant, but that doesn't mean our goddesses can act recklessly! Always remember that we are goddesses born to serve the god! We are God's servant girls, not God's companions. If you don't know this, then one day you will be eliminated."
When Tu Shan Honghong said this, her tone became extremely serious.
Everything about them was given by God. Though God didn't say it clearly, as goddesses, they must have self-awareness.
Wanting to be jealous and become the god's queen—that was just thinking too much.
Now that this newcomer had come to her god system, as an instructor, Tu Shan Honghong must teach well.
Once, when she'd come to the shrine, there were also goddesses who'd told her that red line was insurmountable. Otherwise, no matter how good God's temper was, they would be abandoned. At that time, everything would be lost.
Hearing this, Piaoxu was startled and quickly nodded obediently.
"I know, Sister Honghong, and I will never dare have that kind of unreasonable thinking in the future. Thank you for your advice."
"Well, you understand."
Tu Shan Honghong touched the top of the other party's head and smiled, no longer showing the coldness from just now.
Piaoxu knew in her heart that if she had ambitions, the other party would directly abandon her. There would be no backing.
"However, even though she's a newly promoted goddess, if the god likes her, she'll still be recruited to attend him. As long as we serve the god well and give play to our respective strengths, we can still live very comfortably. After all, there are no hard and fast rules in the shrine."
Speaking of this, Tu Shan Honghong couldn't help feeling a bit proud. The three sisters had attended the god most frequently in the past six months—especially herself and her second sister.
Every time they had to stay for several days. If Bai Suzhen hadn't reminded her, they would almost lose themselves.
Although being favored by God was good, one also couldn't be overwhelmed by it. So in the past month, they'd taken the initiative to apply for not attending in order to balance relationships with other gods.
In the Great Qin World, accompanied by falling stars, Ying Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"This widow has waited for years and finally sees hope!"
"Hehe, you've waited a long time. Now Great Qin's iron cavalry has spread throughout the world. Come, Your Majesty... we should make sacrifices!"
"It should be so."
Where the celestial star fell—
Lao Gao had known for a long time.
The benefits of always pleasing the goddess were now revealing themselves.
Originally, the Kingdom of Qin had been based in Xianyang. Now it had relocated to the place where the star fell, and this move had been praised by countless people.
The two stepped outside.
Lao Gao glanced at the "savage" caged on his left and couldn't help but snort. "I've fed and housed you all this time—do you regret it now?"
The savage turned his head dully and begged in a low voice.
"Please... immortal master, kill me. For the sake of our friendship, give me a quick death."
As a transmigrator, Xiaochuan had been squatting in this cage ever since the iron cavalry caught him. He ate and drank well every day, but from long periods of inactivity, his lower body had become completely paralyzed. If not for the skilled physician who tended to him daily, he would have wanted to die long ago.
Incidentally, like Xiang Yu, Xiaochuan served as a plaything for amusement.
Lao Gao smiled faintly. "I'll keep you alive forever. Weren't you a messenger of justice at the beginning? You said you couldn't change history, or you wouldn't be able to return home. You claimed the First Emperor of Qin would die soon. And the result? Open your dog eyes and look at this world of Qin! The entire Asian continent is under Qin's rule—how magnificent is that?"
Ying Zheng stood beside him, laughing without a word.
In the past, if he had heard such outrageous things, he would never have believed them. But with the spread of the faith and the popularization of knowledge, Ying Zheng naturally understood what this so-called "Asia" was.
"Master, such ignorant people aren't worth our anger. Let's go—we mustn't delay the auspicious hour!"
"Indeed, Your Majesty speaks truly."
The two exchanged a glance and laughed, then walked toward the altar.
The heavenly platform was enormous—like a small hill. The exterior was built of countless stones, while the interior housed a meteorite that radiated astonishing energy, or rather, a fallen star. It contained abundant life energy!
According to Lao Gao's estimation, a mortal need only swallow a tiny fragment to achieve immortality. Yet they had not embezzled any of it. Instead, they chose to offer it as a sacrifice to the gods.
Mere longevity meant nothing. They had already achieved that long ago—only the advancement of the world was their ultimate pursuit!
"Light the temple fires and commence the national sacrifice!"
Boom.
Flames ignited in the greatest temple of Qin. At the same time, wherever temples stood throughout the world, fires were lit.
"This is the sign—the god will descend soon!"
"Ring the bells and announce to the entire city—come pray before the temple!"
Throughout the Great Qin lands, activity began to bustle.
About an hour later, Lao Gao ascended the altar at Ying Zheng's signal.
He shouted loudly: "Great God of Eternity! I am your devout believer. This time, Great Qin will hold a sacrifice with the strength of the entire nation, presenting to you our most precious offering!"
"We welcome the coming of the great Eternal God!"
"We welcome the coming of the great Eternal God!"
The voices rang out in perfect unison, piercing straight toward the heavens.
Such a spectacular scene shocked not only Xiang Yu but even the modern-era Xiaochuan. The same thought arose in his mind: Could there truly be a god?
God's Domain World
A notification sound entered Liu Che's consciousness.
"Ding... your believer Lao Gao has initiated a kingdom sacrifice, offering you a Life Star Core. Triggering a millionfold amplification. Congratulations on obtaining the Law of Life!"
Below the notification came a system note:
[Name]: Life Star Core
[Grade]: Super Rare
[Function]: Contains boundless life energy. If a god obtains it, they can create a living planet or plane. Therefore, in ordinary worlds, planes, and dimensions, it is exceedingly difficult for a second Life Star Core to appear.
Seeing this, Liu Che suddenly understood. The Life Star Core was the primary material for creating a plane. No wonder.
In his meditation within the Eternal God's Domain, change began anew. Especially the gods and goddesses of the life pantheon—all felt their vitality continuously strengthening.
"Is this... the god growing stronger?"
"Such powerful life force—it's beyond imagination..."
The vitality coalesced.
A brand-new law manifested within Liu Che's God's Domain. It seemed invisible, yet it encompassed hundreds of millions of lives.
The Law of Life was an immense law, containing countless subsidiary laws within it. Just by obtaining this law, the believers in God's Domain felt their power increasing and their lifespans continuously extending.
And all believers of the Wood Element saw their strength directly increase threefold!
