The Creeping Zone was like a dense, dark forest in which the gods travelled slowly, and no one knew what would happen next.
Unable to change, they could only adapt.
Against the backdrop of this difficult journey, the descent of the Title Gods was an opportunity for the Gods.
The title gods consumed their faith to kill a god and did not obtain much faith fire, and the population they obtained were backward and creatively inferior refugees, so incorporating them into the divine Kingdom would be a waste of resources and an aggravation of their burdens.
These populations hadn’t experienced the Leap Zone, and bringing them over there would result in heavy deaths and injuries, like fish in the deep sea unable to live near the surface.
The Creeping Zone in the Title Divine was a desolate, barren land.
Therefore, Title Gods rarely appeared in the Creeping Zone, and even if there was a need, their subordinate gods would carry out the orders on their behalf.
“The appearance of apostles or believers under the …… Title Gods usually means that He is examining a certain god, or some special world.”
Slymod spoke, “You, Lord God, possess a might comparable to that of a Lord God, and the appearance of the Sandwalker will cause the Psi-God and the Bamboo Reed King to behave positively, and it’s only natural for them to make an alliance.”
The facts also proved his judgement.
What Lu Yao was more concerned about was that since he despised the Gods, why did the [Golden Possession Star] and other Title Deities have to come together in the first place to harvest the Flame of Faith of the Gods?
“Lord Deity, individual Gods are very small, but once their numbers increase, the Flame of Faith they hold is also very considerable. It’s like a flock of chickens and a flock of sheep, if we can use a simple but effective method to make Him willingly offer the Flame of Faith, this would naturally be the best.”
A smiley face appeared on the two green leaves above Slemod’s head.
“The Gods will lie to themselves.”
“When He holds a title deity in extreme esteem, anything this deity does, He will find reasonable. Without having to resort to too complicated means, He will offer the Fire of Faith and lie to Himself for that non-existent chance.”
Lu Yao couldn’t help but think of the lottery.
It took him a lot of time and quite a bit of money to figure it out: if a person bought a lottery ticket with two dollars, it meant that the person would have two dollars less.
But there were always many people who would buy lottery tickets.
The tougher the times, the more you need hope, and a lottery ticket may not make any difference, but it can bring a false hope.
False hope is also hope.
“There is a consensus amongst the titled gods that great power and bodies are for display and intimidation, not for use and battle.”
“Unlike the frequent wars between the gods, this class of Title Gods is extraordinarily restrained, rarely initiating wars even when they are completely opposed to each other.”
This Senior Master, who was shaped like a Slime, spoke.
Lu Yao silently remembered.
He asked a question.
In what form did Titled Gods generally come into contact with the Gods?
Having to figure this out, Lu Yao could then subsequently operate the Psi-Ghost Realm and the Bamboo Reed Kingdom.
“Lord God, regarding this point, I have a slight understanding from several Title Gods. Although the Gods have different personalities and styles, they do share some commonalities.”
The dialogue box on Slymod’s head slowly floated with text.
“First of all, Title Gods hardly ever actively recruit the gods.”
“The high and mighty Title Gods do not need the Gods, while the Gods are extremely reliant on the Title Gods for shelter and guidance, so they must never take the initiative to solicit them, and no matter how outstanding the Gods are when they encounter them, the Title Gods will never take the initiative.”
“This is an attitude that needs to be carried through from start to finish, so that the Gods understand their position and identity. Powerful Title Gods need not be Gods, but can give some mercy and appreciation, but that is also a response that the Gods may only receive if they make an effort to follow.”
Slymod continued, “Further, it is not to show attitudes and oracles easily.”
“The gods wanting to follow the Title Gods can sometimes be extremely arduous, as the entire ordeal can be stranded extraordinarily long, not knowing when it will come to a head and whether there is a definite good outcome.”
“The Title Deity will usually give a task and then observe the Gods over a long period of time, which is both a test for Him and a constant screening process.”
“The last point is unopposed.”
The blades on top of Slemod’s head gently swung, “Whether the Gods take the initiative to pay tribute or fight for the Title Deity to kill the enemy, the Title Deity will not oppose it, which will give Him hope, and also represents the benevolence and tolerance of the Title Deity.”
“After going through many tests, the Genus God that the Title Deity wants will be born among the final leftovers.”
Lu Yao felt that something was not right somewhere.
His brows furrowed as he moved the mouse again to read the text in Slemod’s dialogue box.
Wasn’t this what was commonly known as the three no’s principle?
No initiative, no statement, no rejection.
Crap!
Title Gods really are PUA Masters per capita.
Lu Yao thought back.
The gods didn’t seem to have any other options.
To Him, the Title Deity was the best guide, and finding a backer would make it possible to take many fewer detours and desperate paths. After all, the Title Gods had all entered the Leap Zone, and He was the best target to learn from.
Compared to the dangerous jungle life in the Creeping Zone, becoming a Genus God possessed a further path and a more definite hope of advancement despite being exploited and oppressed.
The pathway of ascension was firmly stifled by the Title Gods, and the entire Creeping Zone presented a state of class solidification, leaving the Gods with no choice.
Unless one was superbly talented or extremely lucky, it was difficult to break through independently.
Lu Yao asked about the specific guidelines for dealing with the Phantom Demon God and the Bamboo Reed King.
“Lord God, it seems like you don’t want to recruit Him as a subordinate god?”
Receiving an affirmative reply, Slemod said, “That would be simple, have them pay tribute every hundred years by offering a certain percentage of the Flame of Faith, and they will be more than happy to do so.”
“Based on past experience, this percentage at 70% is the best, just enough for Him to have very little left but be able to tolerate and accept it.”
Lu Yao: “……”
Tough or you guys are tough.
Lu Yao spoke about his plans.
“A ring-shaped realm cluster where the gods gather? What a marvellous and grandiose project ……”
Slemod pondered for a while, “Lord God, your construction of a strategy is beyond my humble shallow knowledge, and I am unable to judge it. However, if you want to gradually naturalise and tame these two Gods, you don’t need to do too much, just continue as you did before, and send over the less useful Martial Cultivators after converting them to Sandwalkers.”
“This will make Him feel that the test is still continuing.”
“As time passes, invisible shackles will bind Him. The longer time passes, the more He will not dare to flee and defy Your will, and fear and hope will trap Him further, which is also in line with the Title Gods’ lofty style.”
Lu Yao decided that this was how it would be for now.
Follow up step by step.
……
He cut his perspective back to the Yao Race World.
Earlier, Nongbase said that the strongest weapon was the Black Rose.
Lu Yao remembered that in the Rose Kingdom, the Black Rose was also a taboo and a disaster, a dangerous species born from a union between roses.
How did Pinkman pound out the Black Rose?
At this moment in the Valley of the Gods, a black rose was growing in the rose garden, and excluding the petals which were pitch black, they looked perfectly normal.
The red roses made Red Leaf and the yellow roses made Yellow Lie stand guard, while Pinkman was pacing back and forth, his head a mess.
Lu Yao clicked on the black rose.
……
[Killer Black Rose LV6
Life Value: 12/12
Mana: 5/5
Damage: 52
Defence: 0
Speed: 20
[Killer Instinct]
Can perceive the target’s weakness to deliver a fatal blow, causing [Bleed] and [Weakness].
[Flower Language XLIV – Black Withering]
A flower language spell where the petals of a black rose pierce into the target, turning into debris and tearing through the wound, dealing massive damage.
[Ranged LV2]
……
Seeing this panel, Lu Yao crouched down.
LV6 Black Rose damage was 50?
The strength of the attack panel was outrageous!
Numerically, it was even higher than the LV40 Kingdom of Mirrors Konoha.
It was no wonder that after the appearance of this biochemical weapon, the Farmer’s Bastion that had been indomitable in killing bugs was given a whole lot of depression.
