Swamp Lord: I have an intelligence system.

Lear raised an eyebrow as he looked at the writhing flesh and blood of the Abyss Duke within the Swamp God Kingdom.

It was clear that the other party's soul had not yet dissolved and was still attached to the flesh and blood.

Given time, it can still recover.

It does take some effort to completely kill a being that possesses divine qualities.

If the difficulty is greater than the same level, even if the opponent can't beat you, can't you at least run away?
The reason why this evil god could be defeated so easily is not because the opponent was weak, but because its strength far exceeded the limit.

Lear had previously obtained a piece of the flesh of the Abyss Duke, which was sealed within the Crimson Rotten Flesh, continuously absorbing the power of the void to provide energy.

It was eventually consumed completely.

Therefore, he still had a good impression of the flesh and blood of these evil gods.

As he pondered, his gaze shifted slightly.

This Abyss Duke made him realize his own power for the first time.

From this perspective, we can act more boldly.

He hadn't used the Holy Angel Sword yet; he had only activated the battle intent chains wrapped around it.

Although the Chains of Battle Intent have been fused with the Holy Angel Sword, he can still mobilize them independently whenever needed.

Even without the Holy Angel Sword, it is still a high-level artifact.

Killing a minor Abyss Duke with weak divine power is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

Moreover, the current disturbances in the Abyss have made it easier for the Abyss Grand Dukes to be born, and the number of these evil gods with weak divine power has become quite considerable.

While pondering, he immediately ordered the three in the Abyss, Tulos, the Flesh Slayer, and the Spider God, to contact the Abyss Grand Duke immediately if they encountered anyone they were not confident of defeating.

He shall execute him.

Karanis had her own path to follow, and he didn't want to interfere.

The best way to help him is to help him grow up as quickly as possible.

The three responded immediately upon hearing the order, and then reported that they were ready to take action against the second abyssal plane.

That plane has two Abyss Grand Dukes.
Lear was very satisfied.

After offering a few words of encouragement, he returned to the City of Slight Dew, carrying with him the flesh and blood of the Abyss Duke.

They arrived at the alchemy workshop and handed it over to the ancient goblin god.

This ancient being became excited upon seeing this.

"Your Majesty, with this flesh and blood, I will be able to create the God-Slaying Mechanical Puppet by the end of the month!"

The culmination of the goblin civilization was formed after they plunged into the abyss and hunted down evil gods.

Now that we have the most important material, we can quickly speed up the molding process.

Li Er smiled happily.

"We are hunting down abyssal gods. Keep up the good work, there's more divine flesh and blood for you to use!"

The ancient goblin god was extremely excited.

He didn't linger, letting the other person do their own research, while he headed to Catanaro.

While things were bustling in the City of Slight Dew, Lear didn't neglect the Primal Plane either.

He now controls 45 temples, plus the temple of the Lake God from which he previously obtained the power of life, bringing the total to 46. He has a great chance of controlling over a hundred temples.

With major changes imminent, he had little interest in remaining hidden any longer.

He needs to quickly gain control of the second batch of temples and transform into a powerful, high-ranking deity.

This prompted Catanaro to send a large army to search for temples near the Longthorn Mountains.
Three temples have now been discovered to be occupied by three different factions. Two of these factions are particularly difficult to conquer: the Lord of Dawn and the God of Justice, both of whom are top-tier beings.

He doesn't want to mess with these guys right now.

The last force is a pantheon hidden in a dimensional plane—the Heart-Eating Demon God Pantheon.

It controls a total of 17 temples, more than the wild pantheon.

The Heart-Eating Demon wreaked havoc millions of years ago, unleashing a terrifying catastrophe that devoured hearts.

It nearly wiped out humanity in the main plane.

In the end, it was only through the combined efforts of the gods of light that these ferocious creatures were finally eradicated from the main plane.

Their gods were extraordinary; even when besieged, they managed to hide in a dimensional plane.

This reappearance is clearly due to the major changes in the political landscape.

Compared to the other two forces, the Heart Eater is the easiest to control.
Just as Lear was about to make his move, the mark left by the Goddess of Misfortune within him suddenly lit up.

Then a dark red energy condensed and took shape around him.

The aloof goddess brought him a bombshell as soon as she opened her mouth.

“Lord Lear, I have asked several of my companions to give up all the temples they occupied in the original plane, a total of 32. These gods are all absolutely trustworthy companions.”

"I hope this can be of some help to you."

Lear felt a warmth in his heart and took a deep look at the goddess.

If he has these 32 temples, then the total number of temples under his control will reach 78!
If we can capture the remaining 17 temples of the Mind Eater, the total number will rise to 95, bringing us one step away from controlling over a hundred temples!
“We all hope you can be promoted again as soon as possible. In the midst of this great upheaval, we will be your most steadfast ally.”

The Goddess of Misfortune understood even more deeply than Lear that the strength of one's companions was also the strength of oneself.

Without Lear, she might have perished by now.

Their friendship had been tested by life and death.

In this situation, if we don't band together for mutual support, how can we possibly stop those crazed abyssal evil gods?
How to defend against the hidden mastermind who has never been revealed?

Li Er let out a long sigh, his eyes brightening.

"Your Highness, please thank everyone for me. Did you inform them of that information?"

The goddess of misfortune shook her head.

"No, that information was only known to me. These temples are just a reward for your previous reminder. Don't worry, I know the stakes, and I'm already making arrangements. I won't let these two months go to waste."

His tone became serious as he spoke.

"Lord Lear, I have also made arrangements for you. If you can break through to become a powerful high-ranking god within these two months, then I am confident that you will be promoted to a chief god after the turmoil begins."

Lear paused for a moment, then looked deeply at this ancient being before slowly nodding.

"I will."

The goddess of misfortune smiled, said no more pleasantries, and vanished in a streak of light.

The trust and friendship between the two parties have reached an extremely high level, and their way of getting along has become increasingly simple.

It took Lear a long time to come to his senses after the other person left.

Having such a reliable ally feels pretty good.

A slight smile appeared on his face as he turned and returned to Catanaro, preparing to continue deploying troops for the campaign.

But as the army assembled, he felt the mark of the goddess of misfortune radiate warmth and begin to guide him.

He followed the other party's power perception and immediately sensed new temples appearing before his eyes.

Perception immediately enveloped it.

He immediately experienced a total of six powers. However, Lear only comprehended and experienced the process of the birth of these powers, without transgressing in the slightest.

This made the gods who were secretly observing feel particularly pleased, and they tacitly approved of Lear.

This is a gift, but also a test. If he can't even resist this temptation, then why should we believe that he can fight alongside them in the future?
Lear ignored everything else and took control of the temples in the most direct way.

At the same time, he could feel the original position's restrictions on him weakening again.

He can even mobilize some divine power here.

The most convenient thing is that it can open up spatial rifts!
This is undoubtedly a huge benefit, as it eliminates the need for several days of marching to attack the territories of the wild gods, as was the case before.

We can simply send the troops there now.

Comfortable.

In addition, the Faith required to remove the Wetland Angel from the temple battle is reduced to a negligible level.

This undoubtedly made the power in his hands extremely terrifying.

I'm very happy.

After calming down, Li Er immediately returned to the temple in Catanarlo and used a huge amount of faith power to increase the number of wetland angels to a whole squad.

A thousand-strong ultimate unit would be an extremely powerful fighting force in the primordial plane where the level cap is only 15.

Without wasting any time, Lear immediately mustered his troops and went out.

They soon arrived at the first territory of the Heart Eater, a territory built on a mountaintop with no weaknesses, which could only be attacked head-on.

But Lear skipped the siege phase and opened a spatial rift in the enemy city with a wave of his hand, sending the Wetland Angels inside.

Once these ultimate units have unleashed their fury, then teleport in the Cold-Blooded Cavalry, Crowned Gryphon Knights, Night Hunters, and even Ancient Treant Guardians. With this combo, no one can withstand it under such circumstances!
For several days in a row, until January 18th, Lear took over all 17 temples occupied by the Heart Eater God system.

He is no longer a newbie who has just entered the primordial plane.

With moderately powerful divine strength, wielding supreme artifacts, and allies such as the Goddess of Misfortune, he also has five or six subordinate gods and a strong and well-equipped army. He swept through the land.

And we are not afraid of the other party retaliating in the future!

After taking control of 17 temples, Lear now has 95 temples under his command!
Only 5 more buildings remain to achieve the established goal.

Lear felt a surge of excitement.

Their gaze turned to the southwest of the Longthorn Mountains, where ten temples were controlled by an evil god known as the Thousand-Faced Wolf Mother.

Without hesitation, they mustered their troops and marched into battle.
-

Lorraine.

In the bustling central area of ​​the Grand Duke of Loran's mansion, in the very center of the largest conference hall, Philena stood before a waist-high wooden table, gazing intently at the detailed map of the primordial plane spread out before her, her eyes deep and thoughtful.

The maid, Jasmine, hesitated slightly before speaking.

"Your Highness, what did Lord Lear say to you? You've been looking at maps for three hours already."

Dressed in a pure white noble robe, the elegant and classic Northern Flower finally came to her senses and turned to look at her maid.

His deep eyes were like the starry sky, exuding endless mystery.

How widespread is the Rose Codex?

This was clearly a change of topic, and Jasmine didn't dare to delve into it, so she replied immediately.

"Your Highness, most of the soldiers and civilians in Loran City have already embraced the Rose Codex, and the last group of nobles also abandoned their faith in the gods yesterday and turned to the Codex."

"The spread of the Rose Codex has exceeded our expectations."

Philena nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said meaningfully.

"Jasmine, you said that if the Rose Law could one day gain the faith of everyone and become an unshakable supreme law."

What would the world be like?

Jasmine paused for a moment, hesitated for a long time, and then answered honestly.

"Your Highness, I don't know either."

She had always known about His Highness's dream, but she couldn't picture that scene.

So what is her dream? Well, a long time ago, it was to break through level 15 and become an extraordinary being admired by everyone.

Later, Her Highness said that she no longer wanted to see the gods of this world act recklessly, and that she wanted to regulate everything with laws.

From then on, her dream became to work with His Highness to achieve this goal. Although she knew it would be difficult, it was His Highness's dream, and she wanted to help him achieve it.

Although she couldn't understand why she had to pay such a high price to achieve such an unattainable dream.
But she will always follow His Highness!

Philena couldn't help but smile at Jasmine's bewildered expression.

Although outwardly she appeared to be a shrewd and capable maid who did many tedious tasks for her and was highly respected by those below her.

But only she knew that the other person was still a little girl at heart, just good at pretending.

He shook his head and changed the subject.

"As soon as possible, gather the residents of the cities occupied by the original plane into Rose City. Also, instruct the logistics department to speed up the production of military supplies, day and night!"

"At the same time, send troops to sweep around the surrounding areas and gather all the people found in Loran City. If Loran City cannot accommodate them, they can move to the dimensional plane. Do not let anyone go. If they disagree, use force. Do not leave anyone behind."

"At the same time, we will continue to search for food from outside and increase our food reserves by any means necessary."

"An unprecedented war is about to break out. But I firmly believe that Loran City will shine forever under the protection of the Rose Codex!"

Jasmine sensed the heaviness in his tone, her gaze suddenly sharpened, and she straightened her chest in agreement.

When he turned around to relay the order, his steps became heavy.

Lord Lear must have sent some very important information, otherwise His Highness would not be so serious.

She rarely saw His Highness with such an expression.
After passing through the open arched gate, I subconsciously looked up at the sky.

In the distance, a dark cloud is drifting in.

On the other side, the afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the earth.

But the setting sun was being covered by dark clouds.
-

The Primordial Plane.

After taking control of 95 temples, Lear descended in his true form.

Although still suppressed by the rules, he is already able to use the power of a demigod.

With a full burst of power, reaching the level of weak divine power in a short time is not a problem.

With sufficient confidence, Lear headed straight for the southwest. Thousand-Faced Wolf Mother - Ilmaz.

This area was originally occupied by the tyrannical god Bane, but he was defeated by the Thousand-Faced Wolf Mother and was taken away by her.

In the main plane, the Thousand-Faced Wolf Mother is not well-known, but in the Abyss she is extremely fierce, a demon god with powerful lower-level divine power.

It commands the unique evil race of the Abyss—the Thousand-Faced Demon Wolves—and its territory covers three Abyss planes.

Ordinary Abyss Grand Dukes wouldn't dare approach.

But this is the primordial plane, not the abyss.

Upon arriving at the first city occupied by the enemy, without any hesitation, they tore through the void and dispatched the Wetland Angels inside.

The ultimate troops, numbering over a thousand, immediately launched a terrifying massacre in the enemy's city.

The spatial rift on the other side was also erased immediately.

This time, Lear did not bring an army; he merely sent the wetland angels to fight.

But the scene was even more terrifying. How could those abyssal creatures with only level 15 withstand the blades of the ultimate unit?
The battle had barely begun when the phantom of the Thousand-Faced Wolf Mother suddenly materialized in mid-air, her dark eyes glaring menacingly at Lear.

But before it could speak, Lear waved his hand and shattered the phantom.

Then, without changing his expression, he looked at the slaughtered army of Thousand-Faced Demon Wolves.

In the current situation, it's pointless for the other party to hold a grudge. Let's wait until the rules of the main plane completely collapse before making any moves.

When March 1st arrives, the Abyss will transform into the most insane and brutal death arena.

Those evil gods will go mad.
The Thousand-Faced Demon Wolves in front mostly take the form of giant wolves, but during the battle, they can suddenly change their form.

They could either transform into standing werewolf warriors or alter their physical bodies, such as making their claws sharper, their fangs more pointed, or even enlarge their heads to make them easier to bite.

It can change body parts according to the type of enemy.

It's quite peculiar.

No wonder it's called the Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf; it's very fitting.

However, under the strangulation of the Wetland Angel, no matter what form you are, you will be killed with a single blow.

With no enemy forces to restrain them, thousands of ultimate units began a frenzied slaughter.

In just two hours, the city, which housed more than 200,000 thousand-faced demon wolves, was completely annihilated, and the ground was littered with crimson corpse fragments.

It was like a living hell.

The temple stood amidst the corpses scattered everywhere, with the giant wave statue inside, crouching on the ground, standing out prominently.

Without hesitation, Lear entered the temple and forcibly took it using the power of the swamp.

After taking control of the temple, he immediately gained the opportunity to comprehend the power of the Thousand-Faced Wolf Mother. Unfortunately, it was a racial power, and he could only sense it but not control it.

However, watching the entire process of the Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf's birth and growth was quite inspiring for him.

Every life form has a different form and its own evolutionary path; this is true for the Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf, and it is also true for his swamp.

Although he failed to seize power, the insights he gained were still remarkable, and Lear felt he had learned a great deal.

He didn't stop there; he repeated the same method and conquered all the cities occupied by the Thousand-Faced Wolf Mother.

One by one, the temples were brought under control. When 99 were under control, only one remained.

Lear stood before the Temple of the Demon Wolf, his emotions fluctuating, his gaze burning with intensity.

Without any hesitation, he strode in and used overwhelming force to bring the temple under his control.

In an instant, the number of temples under his control exceeded 100!
At that very moment, streams of power surged from the entire primordial plane into his body, and a profound and mysterious feeling welled up in his mind.

With a slight thought, Lear immediately closed his eyes to comprehend the meaning.
Before long, countless followers of the Swamp Cult raised their heads in the city of Weilu, in Catanaro, in the wilderness, and in various dimensional planes.

His chest felt incredibly hot.

They once again felt the greatness of their faith, like the rising sun, radiating endless light.

God has ascended to a higher status once again!! (End of Chapter)
