MC's career as foreign lord

“Only the young can say such things!” Oharlekun said. “If any of the gods' followers heard your words, they would be met with divine punishment!”

“I dare to say this because I have confidence!” Zhou Ren said. “Your gods are supporting me; they dare to gamble, so why shouldn't I?”

Sidd shook his head and said, “But my Church of the Goddess of Wealth and my goddess will not pay for your madness. We are not qualified to fall out with the gods!”

This is reality! A stark reality, devoid of any fantasy!

Gods may be emotional beings, but sects are purely rational. They can lose their minds for the sake of the future, but only if they have a chance to survive!

Once it involves such fundamental issues, affecting the massive profits generated by a divine system, I fear that all the gods of faith will be tempted!

This is not just a powerful godhead; it's the birth of a divine system called 'Wealth'! Even Yeg, the God of Death who once held three great godheads, might be tempted!

These things are beyond the reach of Waukeen, the weak goddess. The reason she holds the position of wealth is that the power of this divine duty is not significant, and others don't care about it.

If money truly flowed and wealth abounded as Zhou Ren said, Waukeen's divine kingdom would be trampled by the main gods wielding power!

“Therefore, the one who can truly provide protection is His Majesty Corellon!” Oharlekun said confidently. “The elven gods surpass all elves' faith. This is the elven race!”

Unlike other races, Corellon, a god from outside the realm, even created his own followers. Although he cleverly borrowed the power of Yggdrasil, his power cannot be denied!

Moreover, the elven divine system has a large population. Apart from two Greater Gods, the remaining ten gods only have two Weak Gods and Minor Gods respectively, and the rest are Intermediate Gods. This is a lineup that can stand against a high-level world, and even withstand a wave of the Nine Hells!

In the whole world, the divine systems that can surpass the elven gods are probably only the dragon divine system and the human gods.

But the disunity of these two is well-known. Civil wars between humans and dragons are still raging throughout Toril!

So, the elves' words are not an exaggeration. In the territory of the elves, all difficulties will cease to be difficulties. This is the confidence of a divine system!

Zhou Ren shook his head. “If you implement it according to your method, perhaps Waukeen can achieve a powerful divine power, but it will definitely not reach the top!”

This is not what Zhou Ren is pursuing. “Even a divine system cannot be formed! Only a top-level powerful divine force like His Majesty Corellon can support such a huge system as the elven divine system, right?”

“Why is that? Isn't it all about popularizing your concept of money? As long as such experience points are strong enough, all races will recognize it!” Oharlekun didn't understand. This was clearly the simplest way!

Zhou Ren shook his head and turned to ask Mosa, “What do you say, if I stir up a storm in this world, will it make it look better?”

“Of course you can!” Mosa said. “If you wish, the world will yield to your will!”

“Haha! You, you always refuse to say anything discouraging to me!” Zhou Ren laughed. “Archbishop, Elder, I am different from you! I am young, and I think this world has been silent for too long! Then, let me overturn it!”

His eyes shone brightly, as if seeing a distant future. “I don’t like this place, and I happen to have a little power to transform the world. This monetary revolution may be just the first step!”

“The opinions of the two of you are not very important. I am not asking you two, but the two behind you!” Zhou Ren said. “Whether it is the Pope or the Pontiff, or even the gods! You can't possibly hope that I won't sense them in my territory, right?”

He revealed his purpose at this moment. These words were not spoken to the agents. Zhou Ren didn't believe that they really believed everything the executors said about such an important matter.

This is not a simple matter of interests, it is a true realm belonging to the gods, a perspective from the gods!

Unless this god has a truly big heart, so big that they can even ignore the huge benefits of the godhead, this matter… perhaps only Yeg, who has completely let go, can do it, right?

Zhou Ren raised his head with some doubts. On the Territory Authority in his hand, there were actually three consciousnesses, not two!

“What a sensitive young man! If Corellon had your spirit when he first came, that would have been great!” A smile came, and the light from Sidd gradually flickered, then turned into three humanoid creatures like radiance.

“Share your elf fruit with the three of us! Your Excellency Zhou Ren!” As soon as these words were spoken, Oharlekun, Mosa, and Sidd tactfully closed their mouths and retreated behind them.

“Of course, three… Your Excellencies!” Zhou Ren said. This was also a move that Corellon had done before. He believed that Zhou Ren was one of them, not an ordinary life.

But Corellon's figure was definitely not among these people. That familiar elven main god would not wait for Zhou Ren to give the elven fruit, but would come and take it himself!

Zhou Ren separated three fruits and handed them to the three gods. This was also Corellon's experience. Originally, the gods could not descend to the lower realms, and even their consciousness could not be condensed, except for avatars or true bodies descending!

However, those few smart people who seemed to be in the Year of Troubles had already told them the consequences of the true body descending, so in this era, the gods had almost no contact with the main material plane except for necessary descents.

Until… someone named Corellon acted cool in front of them, and then Angharradh knew!

As Corellon's divine queen, she rightfully obtained the identity to descend to the lower realm this time (this is what she told Zhou Ren).

“Why does it feel similar to immortals descending to the mortal world? A magical version of Juedi Tiantong?” Zhou Ren complained, watching the three people sitting in front of the tea table, while the three legendary mages behind them could only stand there like little girls, watching the three gods reveal themselves.

Angharradh, the triune goddess, is one person and also three people, is the chaotic good goddess, is also the elven matriarch, Corellon's second partner, the adhesive of the entire elven divine system.

In a sense, she is more able to gain the trust of others than a certain unreliable elven main god. It is precisely because of this that she was able to summon these two people and descend in person.

“This one you should recognize. He is the true executor of your plan, and the one you need to cooperate with: the goddess of wealth, Waukeen!”

The goddess of wealth, Waukeen, was not an excessively arrogant woman. On the contrary, she seemed exceptionally humble. Supported by the energy of the elven fruit, this deity revealed her true appearance, fully displaying herself in this world.

She was a young, beautiful, and slender woman with bright golden hair and eyes that shone like gold.

Compared to the restrained, mature, and steady Angrboða, this young goddess was even more radiant. She smiled shyly, “I am here to express my gratitude!”

No matter what, she should be grateful to the person who conceived this plan. It was sending her on the path to becoming a god, regardless of that person's motives.

The last man also ate the golden apple, the slowest of them all. He leisurely digested the fruit in his hand bit by bit, and finally, his figure was revealed, transforming into a tall human male.

He also had very bright golden hair, and was pure white. He wore an expensive robe, a beautiful floral crown, and his face was filled with a very healthy smile.

“Lathander, the Lord of the Morning. Of course, you can also call him Amaunator!”

This man was known as the Lord of the Morning, the embodiment of all that was light and justice on the continent, and one of the oldest gods of Faerûn, Amaunator.

Zhou Ren didn't know what to say. He could have imagined the arrival of the elven gods and Waukeen, but he never expected that the third deity to arrive would be the most flamboyant and prosperous church leader on the entire continent.

“What’s wrong? Are you surprised to see me?” Lathander said, “I heard about you from Corellon, so I came down with them to take a look. Now your existence is no longer a secret in the Celestial Plane!”

“Hiss!” Zhou Ren suddenly had a headache. This progress was a bit too fast. He had only just begun to unfold his plan, but it felt like a group of big shots were staring at him.

“Don't worry, you can continue with your plan. The gods of light will not covet your things, at least not those of us who are lawful good and neutral good!”

This Lord of Radiance was indeed something else, taking control of the situation as soon as he arrived. His appearance actually represented the arrival of the gods of the Celestial Plane behind him.

Zhou Ren was no longer the ignorant newbie he once was. He knew very well what a powerful position this Lord of Radiance held in the current divine society! However, this was precisely where his confusion lay.

In truth, this matter had little to do with the gods of light, at most it was just a transfer of wealth power. But for the gods who wielded power, the significance of economics would probably always be just an embellishment.

He very honestly asked this question. The three gods had descended to this world because of these things related to him.

They were gods of justice, so their first consideration was not the issue of利益, but whether these worlds would have an impact on the world.

“I once had a very powerful ideal, and with the goal of doing good for this world, I shaped a top-down revolution of light! But the result was a terrifying large-scale disaster!” Lathander said, “I don’t want to see another good thing turn into a calamity of dawn because of some bad influences!”

Listening to his sincere words, Zhou Ren suddenly understood why he could become the leader among the gods of light.

At least everything he did was good, and he would put these things on the table. Therefore, his arrival meant that he was only a supervisor, not a beneficiary or executor.

“I am very happy that Waukeen can have a new direction for growth, instead of being mired in past pain and accomplishing nothing like she is now!” He said, “That disaster has been over for many, many years, and it’s time for you to stand up!”

Waukeen nodded. This golden-haired goddess seemed to know her own situation very well. “That is also the purpose of my coming here. Lord Zhou Ren, I wonder what your plan is?”

“It’s still the same question as before, you two. I don’t know if you just want a position of greater power, or a brand new divine system that can stir up storms?” Zhou Ren said. Since this Lord of the Morning said he was here to watch the show, he naturally turned his attention to the two people beside him.

The tea water was boiling beside him. As he asked this question, he also very casually picked up the Zisha teacup and poured a cup of water for each of them with the teapot.

“If it’s just an upgrade, it doesn’t have much meaning. Our lineup doesn’t lack a greater power. The problem of this world can’t be solved by simply obtaining the power of a greater god!”

To Zhou Ren’s surprise, the first to agree with his opinion was Waukeen, who was most closely related to利益. This goddess clearly didn’t care much about power.

Her eyes seemed to ignite with golden flames, and what burst out from within the flames was unforgettable hatred.

“I don’t have high demands for power, but I want to have a complete divine system. This means a systematic specification, so at least I won’t suffer such hardships for no reason during the next Time of Troubles!”

She thought of the suffering she had endured during the Time of Troubles. At the moment when the gods were cast down from the heavens, this poor goddess of wealth had been imprisoned by the demon lord Graz'zt.

Although she had implemented her revenge during the later Arcane Empire, the Netherese period, causing Graz'zt, who should have ruled a certain hell, to fall, this goddess seemed to be still trapped in such fear for a long time and unable to extricate herself.

“Alas!” Lathander sighed with some regret, “If you are trapped in such memories for a long time, then I will…”

“If you become a greater power and possess divine artifacts, you can naturally determine your own destiny. So, have you decided?” Zhou Ren said.

This also meant that their conversation was coming to an end. With the avatars of three gods in front of him, many things could be decided in a word.
