Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 212 The Zerg Disaster
With the blessing of the World Tree Leaf, the process of recruiting new members for the All-Spirit Alliance went very smoothly.

Basically, as soon as the news was released, a large number of citizens of the Myriad Gods system submitted applications to the city.

After being reviewed by Hua Luoyi and other managers of the All-Spirit Alliance, tens of thousands of new members were eventually recruited.

With the addition of these new members, the scale of the entire city has increased more than tenfold.

According to Chen Li's plan, about one-tenth of these tens of thousands of new members will directly participate in external battles.

As for the other members, they will be responsible for other areas of the All-Spirit Alliance.

As any faction develops into its later stages, the proportion of its members directly involved in external wars will decrease.

Just like how the proportion of warriors decreases as a civilization develops to a later stage.

It will not only pursue development in the field of war, but will also carry out simultaneous development in all fields.

After recruiting tens of thousands of new members, the All-Spirit Alliance temporarily halted its external expansion.

For the current All-Spirit Alliance, this number of new members is already sufficient.

With the resources currently available to the All-Spirit Alliance, it is impossible to guarantee the normal development of more members.

The leaves of the World Tree are capable of evolving the world, which is indeed very precious.

However, even three thousand leaves are not enough to fully meet the needs of the entire All-Spirit Alliance.

Those Earth citizens who had recently joined the Alliance of All Spirits also knew that the leaves of the World Tree were not so easy to obtain.

But no matter what, we must give them some hope.

It's reasonable for one out of a dozen or even dozens of new members to obtain a leaf from the World Tree.

But if none of the hundreds of new members manage to obtain a leaf from the World Tree, then the Alliance of All Spirits' actions will be nothing more than empty promises.

The citizens of Earth are not fools. If joining the Alliance of All Souls would not bring them any real benefits, they would not join it.

After all, apart from the leaves of the World Tree, the Alliance of All Spirits couldn't offer any other benefits of sufficient value.

Tens of thousands of new members must give away at least a thousand World Tree leaves.

In addition, the first batch of members also need to give away a certain number of World Tree Leaves.

Furthermore, storing a portion of the leaves as a resource can also serve as an incentive for many members of the All-Spirit Alliance.

In total, recruiting tens of thousands of new members would be about the limit.

After recruiting new members, the All-Spirit Alliance entered a period of stable development.

The entire All-Spirit Alliance focused its efforts on the construction of the city.

Any faction that wants to develop healthily must work hard to build its own city on Earth.

If we consider the entire world ruled by all members of the faction as a whole, then the cities on Earth are undoubtedly the capitals of those worlds.

The role of many cities is not merely to secure the kingdom of the true God.

When newborns appear in the city in the future, they will be raised here and will naturally join the Alliance of All Spirits after leaving the Land of Origin.

Currently, the outskirts of the city only have some very basic facilities, like a house that has only had a basic framework built.

It can only barely keep out the wind and rain, and has no other functions.

There were no newborns in the city before, and there was only a basic framework, so there weren't any major problems.

In any case, as long as the external wars can be carried out normally, the normal operation of the entire All-Spirit Alliance can be guaranteed.

However, the Alliance of All Spirits has now undergone a round of expansion, and the scale of its outlying cities has increased more than tenfold.

Simply ensuring the normal conduct of external campaigns, as before, is no longer sufficient.

Even if tens of thousands of Earth citizens are ascetic and have unlimited lifespans, they can reproduce whenever they want without any restrictions, and it is impossible for no newborns to be born forever.

It is also very important to prepare a comfortable environment for newborns in advance.

As the entire city is developed and improved, it can attract more Earth citizens to join it.

There is no longer a need to rely on the leaves of the World Tree to attract other Earth citizens to join us.

Rather, a healthy development trend is one where the environment and resources of the city itself are sufficient to attract citizens of other Earth cities.

Time flies by in this rhythm.

Thousands of years have passed since the many members of the All-Spirit Alliance officially left the T09-3054 crystal wall system and returned to Earth.

During this period, the Alliance of All Spirits did not participate in any external wars.

The Myriad Gods System launched external campaigns against several Crystal Wall Systems simultaneously.

However, apart from the T09-3054 crystal wall system, the other crystal wall systems have long since entered the stage of becoming gods, leaving no room for the All-Spirit Alliance to intervene.

For the pantheon on Earth, the most time-consuming part of launching external wars has always been finding a suitable crystal wall system.

Secondly, after conquering the corresponding crystal wall system, maintaining its internal stability also requires a lot of time.

The Blue Star deities from the various factions could not possibly remain there indefinitely.

Without the suppression of the gods of Earth, it would be a pipe dream to maintain internal stability solely through faith.

This is why the Blue Star deities within a conquered crystal wall system do not immediately leave.

Instead, they would stay there for a period of time until they had appointed a sufficient number of native deities to help them maintain the stability within the crystal wall system.

Only the Blue Star deities will leave the Crystal Wall System on a large scale to participate in the next external war.

Why would so many Blue Star deities of the All-Spirit Alliance leave Crystal Wall System T09-3054 so quickly?

That's because the territory that the All-Spirit Alliance conquered in the T09-3054 Crystal Wall System wasn't very large, consisting of only nine primary realms and a few thousand complete planes.

More importantly, the citizens living in the Realm of All Spirits, apart from the Spiritforged Race, are all the followers of the many Blue Star deities of the All Spirits Alliance who came from the Land of Origin.

Some of these clans have lived in the divine realm of the origin since childhood, and are truly connected with their gods.

These beings, who left the land of origin from the divine realm and came to the endless void, could not possibly betray their gods.

With them maintaining stability in the entire Myriad Spirits Realm and the other eight primary realms, the many Blue Star deities of the Myriad Spirits Alliance no longer need to worry.

After Solus was officially crowned as the God of Pain, the Alliance of All Spirits no longer needed to worry about the stability of the T09-3054 Crystal Wall System.

Other factions simply conquered those territories and converted the natives there into their followers.

Naturally, they couldn't leave the T09-3054 crystal wall system as quickly as the All-Spirit Alliance.

Moreover, bestowing a new god title is no easy task. Cases like Thorauth and the Spiritforged are special cases, and even so, with the blessing of fate, it took thousands of years for a suitable candidate to be chosen for the title to emerge.

Even if all factions spare no effort in selecting suitable candidates, it is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time to confer titles on a sufficient number of new gods.

Not to mention that after these new gods are officially appointed, we still have to wait for them to grow up.

One must possess at least the strength of a true god to be qualified to preside over a major event in a large crystal wall system.

Although the rules allow newly appointed gods to grow rapidly, it still takes time.

For this reason, after conquering the T09-3054 crystal wall system, the Myriad Gods system will not immediately hold a victory celebration.

Instead, it would take nearly 100,000 years to appoint a sufficient number of new gods and wait for them to grow up.

Only after the various factions within the T09-3054 crystal wall system returned to Earth one after another and held corresponding celebration banquets.

The passage of time has little significance for the gods of Earth.

As long as the final outcome is under my control, that's enough.

No matter how much time and resources are required, it's just a number.

After the T09-3054 crystal wall system conquered enough planes to house its own civilization in the Land of Origin.

The first batch of members of the All Souls Alliance had already lost any sense of urgency.

Even if they are to participate in new foreign campaigns afterward, they should just let things take their course.

However, the celebration banquet for the T09-3054 crystal wall system has not yet arrived.

The Myriad Gods system has discovered another suitable crystal wall system.

"A crystal wall system that has been invaded by the Zerg, is riddled with holes, and is even gradually dying out?"

In Chen Li's manor, just outside the city center, Hua Luoyi and the others were somewhat surprised to hear the news.

As gods of the blue planet, they were no strangers to the existence of the Zerg.

That is not some kind of insect or similar species as commonly understood.

The so-called Zerg are a name for a type of natural disaster that is most notorious in the entire endless void.

Wherever the Zerg go, it's not just barren land; even the rules themselves become objects that the Zerg can devour.

Even the countless crystal wall systems ruled by Blue Star will face the threat of the Zerg.

Many crystal walls were completely devoured by the Zerg, which was a significant loss for Earth.

For this reason, long ago, the high-ranking officials of Earth listed the Zerg as one of the disasters that needed to be addressed.

In the course of conquering foreign lands, those crystal wall systems invaded by the Zerg were not necessarily suitable for being brought under their rule.

After discovering those crystal wall systems, it is also necessary to address them.
If a system is unable to govern or is deemed unsuitable, it can be submitted to higher authorities, who will then delegate the task to a suitable pantheon.

However, under normal circumstances, unless they are truly unable to deal with the Zerg, no pantheon would choose to refuse.

In conventional external conquests, the Blue Star pantheon can only gain three kinds of benefits.

This includes the faith within the crystal wall system, the rule enhancements gained after modifying the rules, and the rewards from the will of Blue Star.

However, for crystal wall systems like this one that have been invaded by the Zerg, the Blue Star pantheon can gain even more benefits on top of what they already have.

After saving these crystal walls from destruction, all the gods of Blue Star can once again receive the gifts of the world will of the crystal walls.

Furthermore, one can also obtain even more generous rewards in terms of the rewards from the will of Blue Star.

Even after saving these crystal wall systems, the Blue Star pantheon will still modify its internal rules, or rather, it will never conceal this from the beginning.

However, in the face of complete destruction or altered rules, the world will of these crystal walls will always make the right choice.

"This crystal wall system seems to have survived for millions of years despite being devoured by the Zerg."

"From its initial size, which was close to that of a super-large crystal wall system, it has now almost fallen to the size of a medium-sized crystal wall system. The overall size is now less than one-tenth of what it used to be."

"Many of the rules there have been swallowed up, and our strength will be greatly limited there."

"Even I need the blessing of the divine kingdom to fully unleash my power."

"It is no exaggeration to say that even a true god would be in considerable danger in such an environment, let alone a demigod."

"Therefore, I will not require any member to participate in this insect infestation control; it is entirely up to you to decide."

After Chen Li finished speaking, he quietly looked at Hua Luoyi and the others, waiting for their choice.

The people present were all important members of the All-Spirit Alliance, or they could be said to be the managers of the All-Spirit Alliance.

As the All-Spirit Alliance continues to expand, their status also rises accordingly.

However, this situation will not last forever. If they cannot keep up with the growth of the All-Spirit Alliance, they will eventually lose their current status.

Zheng Jie was the first to give an answer.

"I'm definitely going. It's high-risk, high-reward, and much more lucrative than normal foreign expeditions."

Chen Li nodded; he wasn't surprised by Zheng Jie's answer.

Although even true gods face considerable risks, they are still true gods after all, protected by their divine kingdom, so they are unlikely to perish completely.

Zheng Jie is currently still working hard to repay his loan.

He had been feeling restless for so long because he couldn't participate in new foreign campaigns, and now that he finally had a new opportunity, he naturally had no reason to give it up.

"I'll go too."

The second person to give an answer was Liu Yi.

Although he was not one of the founders of the All-Spirit Alliance like Hua Luoyi and the others.

However, the time he joined the All-Spirit Alliance was not much different from that of Hua Luoyi and the others; they were all among the original members of the All-Spirit Alliance.

In addition to his innate talent as a seed of the supreme god, and the divine authority he embodied through prophecy and wisdom, he gradually became one of the managers of the Alliance of All Spirits.

"I have a feeling that this insect infestation control is a great opportunity that I can't miss."

Chen Li's gaze shifted to Hua Luoyi.

If we were to name someone among those present who truly had no reason to participate in this insect infestation control effort, it would be Hua Luoyi.
