Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 197 Collapse of the Spirit Realm
"There are still 6 primary war zones left. After that, if we want to launch further external campaigns, we will have to go to other crystal wall systems."

Hearing Chen Li say this, Zheng Jie nodded.

"Unfortunately, by the time we became true gods, the conquest of the entire Crystal Wall system was already nearing its end."

"Those primary war zones with the richest resources have long been divided up by the Divine Court and other factions."

Throughout the entire pantheon's external wars, the official Divine Court always contributes the most and reaps the greatest benefits.

Outside of the Divine Court, the various factions basically competed with each other based on their own abilities during this process.

Although Chen Li's status is noble, other factions are unlikely to deliberately leave any resource-rich primary war zones for him to take over.

"Being able to directly secure the right to conquer eight primary war zones is already quite impressive."

“The time interval between a normal bidding conference is at least in the thousands of years.”

"This is also because the entire Crystal Wall system's conquest is nearing its end, leaving only some obscure and insignificant places that the major factions don't really care about."

"That's why, only a few hundred years after the last bidding conference, the next bidding conference was held."

"The goal is to integrate the remaining resources and complete the rule transformation of the entire crystal wall system as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, we might not have had a chance to take over these primary war zones. After we took over the Myriad Spirits Realm, we would have been able to rest and recuperate."

"We must wait for the pantheon to discover the next crystal wall system before we can continue our external conquests."

Chen Li didn't care about this. As a newly promoted True God, and with the All-Spirit Alliance being an independent faction, they didn't have the right to be picky.

Even in some basic war zones with ordinary or even slightly scarce resources and very remote locations.

Bringing them under the rule of the Alliance of All Spirits will also enhance the overall strength of the Alliance and the power of the two true gods to a certain extent.

Furthermore, one of the main reasons why other factions look down on those remote and obscure places is that it is difficult for those places to establish stable connections with other realms.

Even with a space teleportation device, the teleportation distance is still limited.

This would significantly increase the cost for them to maintain their rule.

However, the spatial rules that Chen Li has mastered can perfectly solve this problem.

Whether it's achieving stable teleportation or directly shortening the distance between those primary realms, it's not a difficult task for Chen Li.

"The higher-ups of the pantheon are currently searching for suitable crystal wall systems to prepare for a new external war. How long will this take?"

For a newly ascended true god like Zheng Jie, there is no need to worry about the imbalance between his divinity and humanity in the short term.

What they need to consider is how to conquer more worlds and gain more believers, thereby increasing their strength and the foundation of their clan's civilization.

Crystal Wall No. T09-3054 is just one of the many Crystal Wall systems that the Myriad Gods system simultaneously conquers.

However, the other crystal wall systems had already been divided up by various factions of the Myriad Manifestations God System. Even if they had not been completely taken over, the Myriad Spirits Alliance could not possibly interfere.

If they want to continue their external conquests, they can only wait until the higher-ups of the Myriad Manifestations system find a new and suitable crystal wall system.

"Who can say for sure? It might only take tens of thousands of years, or it might take hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. It's all entirely possible."

"Although the crystal wall system of the endless void is infinite, the endless void itself is even more unimaginably vast."

"Any crystal wall system is just an invisible speck of dust in it."

"It is not an easy task for the higher-ups of the pantheon to find a suitable crystal wall system based on the needs of the pantheon itself."

"The gods have infinite lifespans, and with our will, our civilization can also continue indefinitely."

"There's no need to rush. Let's take down the remaining six primary war zones first, and then develop them slowly."

Chen Li's voice reached Zheng Jie's ears, and Zheng Jie nodded upon hearing it.

"That's true. I've heard that once you encounter the true God, you need to pay special attention to whether your divinity and humanity are in a balanced state."

"This will directly affect the ultimate limit of every true god."

"Although I haven't reached that limit yet, it's not a bad thing to take some time to settle down."

Under the will of the two true gods, the entire Alliance of All Spirits has always maintained its maximum power operation.

Once a primary war zone has been conquered and its internal situation stabilized, preparations can be made to launch a war against the next primary war zone.

In this pace of warfare, the Alliance of All Spirits conquered the remaining six primary war zones in less than a thousand years.

At this point, the entire All-Spirit Alliance had already ruled over nine primary realms within the T09-3054 crystal wall system.

There are more than 7,000 planes of varying sizes, not including demiplanes, and the number of natives under their rule is nearly 20 trillion.

At this point, the entire All-Spirit Alliance will have no more battles to fight in the short term.

The entire T09-3054 crystal wall system has been completely divided up.

Even if some war zones have not been captured, they are the targets of other factions and have nothing to do with the All-Spirit Alliance.

After the state of war was lifted, the All-Spirit Alliance began to recuperate and rebuild, constantly accumulating strength and improving itself, awaiting the arrival of the next war.

In the year 3545 of the Wanling Calendar, with the complete modification of the rules of heaven and earth in the entire crystal wall system, the will of Blue Star finally descended and carried out the final round of transformation of the entire crystal wall system.

Each Earth God's localized modifications to various war zones are merely the first step in the process.

Only after the Blue Star's will transformed the entire crystal wall system could the rules of the entire crystal wall system be formally incorporated into the Blue Star's rules.

This final round of transformation will not last long. The size of a large crystal wall system is like the difference between a drop of water and the entire ocean compared to the whole planet.

Moreover, the rules of the entire crystal wall system have been modified by the true god of Blue Star, so it has no power to fight back against the transformation of Blue Star's will.

With the arrival of the Blue Star's will, many Blue Star True Gods also received the reward for modifying the internal rules of the Crystal Wall System.

With the blessing of the Blue Star's will, Chen Li's divine power was also rapidly increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If a true god of Earth wants to increase their divine power, there are generally only two ways.

They either rely on the accumulation of many years or modify the rules within many crystal wall systems to obtain the reward of the Blue Star's will.

This time, Chen Li modified the internal rules of seven primary realms, and the rewards he received were also quite good.

Given his current number of followers, it would take him at least 700,000 years to raise his divine power to this level.

This is equivalent to the rewards for each primary realm saving Chen Li at least 100,000 years. "The rewards from the Blue Star's will are indeed unexpectedly generous."

"If this happens a few more times, I could break through to the second level of divine power directly."

"No wonder so many true gods of Earth are so keen on waging wars in the endless void."

"This will not only bring more rule support and more believers, but also naturally improve one's divine power level."

Zheng Jie also modified the internal rules of two primary realms. Although the benefits he gained were not as great as those of Chen Li, it still saved him at least hundreds of thousands of years.

"Enhancing one's divine power is actually the least cost-effective reward."

"It's like when we were in the Origin Land, after saving those worlds that were being invaded by the Abyss, we only received some basic resource cards."

"After all, divine power can be accumulated slowly over time, and time doesn't have much value for us."

"Whether it's millions of years or tens of millions of years, it's just a brief link in our long history."

"As long as our divinity and humanity can remain in balance, our divine power can continue to grow steadily."

"For the true god of Blue Star, the most precious reward of the Blue Star will is that it can raise the god's divine rank."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jie was quite surprised: "There's actually such a good thing?"

For the true gods of Earth, divine rank not only represents the proportion of the corresponding rules in the universe, but also represents the upper limit of their ultimate divine power level.

A low-ranking priest like him can only raise his divine power to level seven at most.

After that, you'll either be stuck there and unable to move, or you'll need to increase your divine rank and reach a higher potential.

Chen Li nodded: "Divine power can be steadily increased over time, but improving one's divine rank is a completely different story."

"After all, we, the true gods of Blue Star, are not like the native true gods of the endless void, who are merely appendages of the rules of heaven and earth."

"Whether within our own divine kingdom or in the regions of the endless void that we have conquered, we are the masters of the rules."

"Therefore, we cannot rely on that kind of upward climbing to improve our clerical rank."

"To advance one's divine rank, one must either undergo self-transcendence or receive the blessing of the will of Earth."

"Compared to the extremely difficult process of self-transcendence, the blessing of the Blue Star's will is undoubtedly much easier to obtain."

"As long as we continue to wage wars against foreign powers, when our divine power reaches a bottleneck, the will of Earth will naturally help us to improve our divine status."

"Therefore, under the premise of maintaining the balance between one's own divinity and humanity, constantly waging war against external forces is a true path to heaven."

There is basically no concept of class stratification within the entire planet Earth.

Different backgrounds lead to different talents and different treatment, but the will of Earth treats all Earth citizens equally.

In the process of conquering foreign lands, every citizen of Earth has unlimited potential.

As Chen Li and other True Gods received the rewards from the will of Blue Star, the entire T09-3054 crystal wall system also underwent unprecedented changes.

Besides representing the fundamental rules of the material world, a large number of special rules have been devastated.

The most serious of these is the collapse of a dimension beyond reality, a change so obvious that even beings in the material world can feel it.

"The spirit world is collapsing rapidly."

Chen Li's gaze transcended the limitations of dimensions, arriving in a space independent of reality.

Before the Myriad Gods System arrived at Crystal Wall System T09-3054.

In order to better manage their believers and reduce the occurrence of unexpected situations, the gods jointly created the spirit world, a space independent of reality.

With the barrier of the spiritual realm, the concentration of extraordinary factors in reality has been reduced to an extreme level.

This is why any superhuman can dominate a region in reality, and there are very few legendary superhumans in an entire primary realm.

However, the barriers of the spirit world are limited; it is impossible to keep all extraordinary factors out of reality forever.

Every million years or so, the concentration of extraordinary factors in the spirit world reaches its limit.

Once it becomes completely unbearable, it will pour into reality all at once, causing a scene that seems like a supernatural resurrection.

In this respect, the spirit world is more like a reservoir.

The resurgence of extraordinary beings will naturally lead to the rise of a large number of extraordinary individuals, including many at the Eternal level.

The appearance of these eternal-level superhumans is naturally not a good thing for the gods.

Especially given that many main gods, even the god-king, intentionally indulged this.

Each extraordinary resurgence leads to the fall of a large number of true gods.

In this way, many chief gods can also legitimately reap the divine status and power of the true gods below them, making their own positions more and more secure.

When the Myriad Gods system arrived at Crystal Wall System T09-3054, less than 100,000 years had passed since their last extraordinary resurgence.

Therefore, even though the gods actively triggered a supernatural resurgence after the arrival of the Myriad Manifestations God System, it still couldn't pose much of an obstacle to the Myriad Manifestations God System.

"What a pity. There should be a lot of good stuff inside the Spirit Realm. If we could go in and harvest some, we would make a fortune."

Zheng Jie also witnessed the collapse of the spirit world and said with some emotion.

Influenced by the original rules of heaven and earth of the T09-3054 crystal wall system, the rules of the spirit world are also very hostile to these Blue Star deities.

Let alone these Blue Star deities, even if their followers enter the spirit realm, it will cause the spirit realm to collapse rapidly, and they will not gain any benefits.

"If we could go in and harvest, we wouldn't be the ones to go in."

Chen Li shook his head. How could the two of them, lower-level True Gods, possibly compete with those middle-level or even upper-level True Gods?

"Besides, we're not short of people on our side."

"The souls of the Spiritforged race are incomplete, and even if they are improved, it is still difficult for them to form a faith."

“There are quite a few suitable candidates within the Spiritforge Clan.”
