The evil witch BOSS just wants to develop in a low-key manner

Chapter 279 [The Birth of an Ancient God]

After hearing the conditions of the evil god Zorn.

Tai Xinggu and many other deities quickly began to discuss it privately.

"That guy talks a good game, but when it comes to a real fight, how can a shallow 4th-level Saint God compare to us mid-to-high-level Saint Gods?"

"That may be true, but don't forget the power behind Zorn."

"Now, the Disaster Court has first conquered the ancient divine kingdom of the Emerald Kingdom, and now it is suppressing two major divine kingdoms with its own strength. Its momentum is strong."

"If we really tear off the mask of civility, we will be the ones who suffer."

"Indeed."

"That may be true, but even if we win, we will only gain a hundred years, which is perhaps too short."

"A hundred years is indeed a short time, but as long as we can defeat that evil god Zorn and make him suffer a great loss in the War of Heroes, even a hundred years later, he will not dare to launch an attack on us again. After all, the most powerful thing about that evil god Zorn right now is his many Heroes."

"In that case, let's start the War of Heroes against that evil god Zorn based on these conditions."

A deity suggested this.

“I also think these conditions are good. Even if we lose, we will only lose five portions of the divine kingdom’s territory.”

"Hmph... Your astral territory is so-so, that evil god Zorn might not even look at it. Regardless of the outcome, you may not suffer any losses."

“But our divine kingdom is enormous, containing thousands of material planes. If that evil god were to covet our divine kingdom, wouldn’t we suffer a devastating loss?”

"Therefore, we must strive to win, and even if we cannot win, we must still deplete the resources of those gods Zon."

"Once his heroic spirits are exhausted, given his own strength, would he really dare to enter our world and launch a preemptive attack?"

These words immediately enlightened the other higher gods.

Many of the higher-ranking gods immediately showed expressions of sudden realization.

Before long, the gods had finished their discussion.

The leader, Tai Xinggu, looked at Zorn and said loudly.

"Zorn, the evil god, since you insist on not retreating, then let's have a war of heroic gods according to your conditions."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, these are the conditions you put forward yourself."

"rest assured!"

Zorn said calmly.

“Since I, Zorn, have said so, I will keep my word.”

"Gentlemen... let's begin!"

With a thought, Zorn began to deploy large numbers of high-ranking and mid-ranking Servants into the battlefield, according to a ratio of one to five.

The eighteen deities also sat cross-legged on their respective magic ring trees.

A vast array of divine spirits, of all kinds, surged across the Dharma Ring Bridge and stormed into the battlefield.

Before long, the divine spirits of both sides clashed in a massive battle.

At this time, the number of Zorn was only over 200,000.

The opposing force numbers a staggering twenty to thirty million.

Although their divine spirits are not of high level, most of them are below level 20.

But this number is truly astonishing.

Clearly, these many high-ranking god rulers who came to provide support would not easily bring out their high-level divine spirits.

Although the situation appears to favor the 18 gods.

However, thanks to the high-level divine defenses, Zorn was able to hold out.

At the same time, a portion of the power of the ancient artifact [Resurrection·Cosmic Death Ring] slowly seeped into this world.

Within the divine realm's crystal furnace, which restrains the resurrected power, burns ritual flames.

The greatest advantage of heroic spirits is their ability to resurrect; they can be continuously resurrected through the power of the divine kingdom.

The most powerful aspect of the ancient artifact, [Resurrection Cosmic Death Ring], is its ability to suppress resurrection.

As the War of Heroes continues.

The ancient artifact, [Resurrection Cosmic Death Ring], continuously pulls the resurrected heroic spirits into the Divine Kingdom Crystal Wall Furnace.

As many heroic spirits entered, the ritual fire began to burn rapidly, growing ever more intense.

The heroic spirits that repeatedly die and are resurrected continuously release "Calamity Essence," most of which is used to nourish the divine kingdom, while a small portion is used to strengthen and expand the crystal furnace.

Using war to sustain war is why Zorn dared to confront the eighteen gods.

Zorn's use of the ancient artifact [Resurrection Cosmic Death Ring] naturally came to the attention of the many high-ranking god rulers.

“Tai Xing Gu, that evil god Zorn seems to be using some kind of ritual to consume and burn our heroic spirits,” said Florson, a high-ranking god in the Void Sequence, in a deep voice.

"I felt it, so let it burn!"

"Let him burn it?"

"Yes, this evil god Zorn is willing to fight against all eighteen of us gods by himself. Shouldn't we give him a slight advantage?"

"If we really don't let him use that ancient artifact, do you think he'd still be willing to fight us like this?"

"That's true... but if things continue like this, the power of our divine kingdom will be weakened very quickly."

"Don't worry, although the ancient artifact [Resurrection Cosmic Death Ring] can suppress resurrection methods, it still requires the investment of divine power and is somewhat consumed."

"If you examine it closely, you'll find that the power can only restrain lower-level heroic spirits below level 20 at most. The restraint and pull on mid-level heroic spirits is not strong enough, and they can break free and escape."

"We will certainly lose some lower-ranking Heroic Spirits, but that evil god will also lose Heroic Spirits and consume divine power."

"Just let it go like this."

"Ok!"

……

time flies,
The war between Zorn and the 18 high-ranking gods' kingdom of heroes has unknowingly lasted for half a month.

A small portion of his attention was devoted to maintaining the state of the Heroic Spirits in battle.

Zorn was mostly absorbed in comprehending the Calamity Rune Ring.

Although Zorn appears to be at a disadvantage in the war against the eighteen gods.

But in reality, the outcome of this war of heroes made no difference to Zorn.

If we win, will those two experts with 7 Saint Star and 9 Saint Star status obediently give up their territory?

That's impossible, of course.

It will still take Zorn two or three hundred years of seclusion to raise the rune ring to a sufficiently high level before he can conquer the territories of these two guys.

If they lose, Zorn will have a more legitimate reason to withdraw his troops and retreat for training.

Let's fight again a hundred years from now.

Zorn's challenge to the enemy was merely an excuse to fight them and thus accelerate the development of his divine kingdom.

The result is not important; what matters is the process, the process of growth and development.

Zorn wanted to buy time so that he could continue to grow.

The eighteen deities also seemed to have the same idea of ​​delaying.

As a result, the battle between the two sides remained at a level that was neither too intense nor too weak.

Year after year passed in the Age of Gods.

Meanwhile, Zorn's divine kingdom and his own strength are steadily improving.

…………

The land of the God of Calamity.

Several crystal furnaces are burning.

After witnessing the Divine Realm Forge of the Disaster Court, Zorn invited Lord Kronovat to help construct several Divine Realm Crystal Wall Forges.

These crystal wall furnaces are now being used gradually.

Inside one of the crystal furnaces, the [Cosmic Altar] is slowly refining the white material plane formed by the ancient god thirty million years ago with ritual fire.

And on the side.

Zorn's superior artifact, the "Psycus Wand," is being forged and is absorbing the ancient god.

Refining ancient gods and constructing his own "ancient wand" is what Zorn has been doing for the past one or two hundred years.

For a normal high-level artifact, it would already be very difficult to construct a thousand-ring rune spell ring.

Moreover, the higher the level, the greater the difficulty. Even many high-ranking gods of the Saint Star level only possess high-ranking artifacts with a level of around 2000 rings.

Even the artifacts of those ancient holy gods only have a little over two thousand rings.

Therefore, the maximum amplification of the rune rings obtained by a high-ranking god from a divine artifact is only around two thousand rings.

If it's an offensive ancient artifact.

Therefore, the number of rune rings can easily reach 5000.

If a small amount of [Cosmic Source Matter] is added.

Then the number of its rune rings can be increased significantly, reaching 6000 rings, or even 8000 rings, or even 9000 rings.

Zorn held the Psykers Wand, having already poured a considerable amount of cosmic essence into it.

However, it is an ancient artifact that is merely a superior divine artifact.

Its number of rune rings barely reaches 1980 rings.

After so many years of refining, without absorbing the ancient gods.

In recent years, Sykes Wand has gradually increased the maximum number of rune rings.

Moreover, the efficiency improvement is getting faster and faster.

Although the number of rune rings from this artifact is insufficient to enhance the Tree of Rings and counteract its power.

But it can be used in battle.

Basically, it can be guaranteed that as long as he doesn't fall behind in the battle against the Tree of Laws, he will win.

…………

The divine war between Zorn and more than a dozen high-ranking gods continues.

The war between the three great divine kingdoms of Stardust Plateau is also ongoing.

However, the ancient gods on both sides remained silent and did not participate in the battle.

More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

Zorn was engrossed in constructing the Calamity Rune Circle.

"4500 rings!"

Feeling the number of calamity rune rings within his body, Zorn, who had been in seclusion, let out a soft breath.

Then he directed the Sykes Wand toward the object that was being tempered into an ancient artifact.

Upon seeing this, Zorn was overjoyed.

The Sykes Wand, which had only reached 2000 rune rings a decade ago, has now surged to 3100 rune rings.

Under the dual effects of sacrificing to ancient gods and the [cosmic source matter].

The Sykes Wand is transforming into the Ancient Sykes Wand.

"In total, it has the power of approximately seven thousand rune rings."

"Now, I might not be able to say that I can win against Tai Xinggu, who has nine Sacred Stars, but I can definitely win against Florson, who has seven Sacred Stars."

"After all, the level of my Ancient God Spell is absolutely overwhelming compared to theirs."

"but……"

Zorn looked outside at the war between the divine kingdoms and the heroic spirits, which was in a stable state of confrontation.

"If this continues, the longer it drags on, the greater my advantage will become."

"There's no rush to break ties with them."

"Furthermore... Over the years, the Disaster Court has destroyed many gods in the two great kingdoms, and its offensive momentum is becoming increasingly fierce."

"And those top gods seem to have also sensed that this divine war is etching ancient holy marks, and each of them is fighting extremely hard in the battle."

"It is estimated that after a while, the front line will need to advance again, and then we will need to further strengthen our suppression."

"In addition, the infiltration of the two major magic ring trees through the Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path is still underway."

"The ancient gods of these two great divine kingdoms have done an excellent job of protecting their magic ring tree."

"Clearly, they also received this intelligence from the Emerald Kingdom."

"Unfortunately... right now, my main goal is not to infiltrate your two families' magic ring trees, but to refine the 'Starry Sky Ancient Insect Path' through the Insect King Curse."

"The Insect King Curse is almost level 17, and the refining efficiency is getting higher and higher."

"Once you reach level 18, the Insect King Curse will be able to devour and digest material planes. At that time, you will be able to quickly refine many nodes of the ancient starry insect path."

Although ascending to the status of an ancient god is important.

However, the various aspects of foundation required to become an ancient god are equally important.

Otherwise, simply becoming an ancient god would only mean passively taking hits, without daring to take the initiative.

Just as Zorn calmed his mind and continued his steady cultivation.

"Rumble..."

An extremely thick and powerful ancient divine aura bloomed brilliantly above the star realm.

The aura of this ancient god was so astonishing that it resonated throughout the entire astral universe, causing the stars to twinkle.

"This……"

Zorn suddenly looked up at the stars.

Not only Zorn, but also those powerful rulers of the mid-to-high-level holy stars.

At this moment, they all looked up at the vast starry sky and the endless astral universe.

A strange expression appeared on everyone's face.

There were expressions of envy, jealousy, longing, and anticipation.

"Another person has reached the summit!"

A supreme god ruler of a holy star sighed softly.

"Yes! Another deity has ascended to the highest ancient realm."

The strange phenomena that permeated the entire astral universe at this time.

It was clearly caused by a high-ranking god transforming and ascending to become an ancient god.

"The effects of the newly born ancient gods and the mythological wave are beginning to manifest."

"And next, all sides will inevitably launch even fiercer wars, so as to carve their own ancient sacred marks in the wave of mythology."

"The power of war is likely to reach a new level."

Although gods are also eternal beings.

However, even those who have not reached the pinnacle of ancient godhood, and even those who are high-ranking gods, will still need to participate in the brutal wars to some extent.

Even high-ranking gods can fall in war.

In each era of mythological upheaval, a large number of top-tier high-ranking gods perish.

As for the ancient gods, they might not have participated in the battles during many epochal waves.

Even if you participate in combat, your safety will be guaranteed.

Both are eternal.

But the ancient gods are eternal, stable, and enduring.

The eternity of the higher gods will eventually come to an end.

There are many ancient gods who lived hundreds of millions of years ago.

But a supreme god who has lived for hundreds of millions of years is a rare find.

Therefore, every high god desires to ascend to the status of an ancient god and gain control over a more stable eternity.

Once you stand at the pinnacle of the astral universe, no one will threaten your eternity.

Lost in thought, Zorn looked toward the location from which the ancient aura emanated.

"It seems to be... the location of the Emerald Kingdom."

Zorn frowned slightly and rubbed his temples.

"This is really not good news!"
