The villain queen eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and won't let me lie down?

"Father God… He actually took action for a group of mortals?"

All five gods were shocked. Powerful divine senses fluctuated violently within the Void Between Worlds, their emotional upheaval surpassing even the God of Knowledge's initial reaction to the God-King's decision.

Now that's what I call influence!

Chapter 271: The Gods' First Counterattack

The five gods' reactions were not surprising. They found it genuinely difficult to imagine that the God-King, who had been dormant for who knows how long, would express an intention to intervene in the upcoming war for the sake of a group of mortals.

In the eyes of the gods, this was their failure.

After all, they didn't understand the world beyond the universe. They didn't know that, for them, who already occupied the vast majority of resources in this world, there were still enemies that exceeded the upper limit of power in this world, enemies that had to be treated with their full strength.

But the news announced by the God of Knowledge was enough to make any god who still harbored some dissatisfaction straighten their attitude and stop dwelling on personal matters.

They might have more or less opinions about the God of Knowledge, but every god here was created by the God-King, and they had heartfelt love and respect for their Father God.

If it was His will, then they would resolutely implement it, without any complaints!

Just put on a good show and let Father God see how powerful we are now!

The God of Knowledge also knew that such a proclamation was just a limited dose of hype and couldn't keep these gods, who were no longer young and passionate, fooled forever.

Fortunately, he wasn't deceiving them. The God-King had already made a decision. Next, he announced a series of resources and corresponding divine spells that would be open to all the gods present.

Even gods have their strengths and weaknesses. There were many forbidden techniques within the God-King's camp that were usually not used for various reasons.

But this time, as they listened to the God of Knowledge describe the grand operational plan, said to be personally formulated by the Father God, and the resources being invested without regard to cost, they didn't feel excitement, but rather sensed a hint of unusualness.

"As far as I know, that should be the last plane that Father God has reserved. If He does this… where will He get His future faith power from?"

The Sea God silently calculated the God-King's investment and then discovered a shocking detail.

The God of Knowledge's heart trembled, but his expression didn't waver. He said in a matter-of-course tone:

"Father God's realm is beyond what you and I can imagine. Faith power is no longer essential to Him now."

"So powerful!"

The other gods exclaimed. The Sea God didn't speak, lowering her head as if deep in thought.

From her perspective, the God of Knowledge wasn't lying, but her intuition told her that the God of Knowledge was also withholding a lot of information.

But one signal after another, the gods' unprecedented investment, all indicated that this war would be very different.

When they put down their arrogance, put down their calculations, and instead fully invested and prepared, this wasn't a good sign. It only fully demonstrated the power of the enemy, not the kind of ordinary opponent that could be solved simply by how much time and resources they were willing to spend, like in the past.

Many aspects of the overall arrangement were not fully explained. The five gods were only responsible for execution. The true goal was only clear to the God of Knowledge and the God-King.

But they suddenly felt panic.

A group of mortals, were they worth them adopting such a posture, giving off the feeling of a final decisive battle?

No matter how difficult those guys were, no matter how surprising their performance was, they were just mortals!

Just then, a powerful yet ethereal consciousness descended into the Void Between Worlds:

"You are afraid, and because of fear, you refuse to believe something, my children."

"Greetings, Father God!"

Immediately, the six gods present stood up and bowed in salute.

That consciousness didn't overly reprimand them, but only stirred up a gentle breeze, seeming to brush over the heads of the six gods, before saying somewhat ethereally:

"You have also grown up in countless wars. Do not forget our growth. Gods pursue eternity, but they should not be afraid of falling. Being timid and afraid is the real path to self-destruction."

"Understood, Father God."

The six gods lowered their heads and responded with shame.

The principle that the God-King pointed out was also correct. It wasn't that this world had become complicated, but that, after a long time, they had forgotten the dangers that had always existed.

Even gods shouldn't be trapped by the name of eternity and be afraid to let go, instead giving the enemy an opportunity.

"I believe you are all good children."

The God-King was smiling, and the consciousness gradually drifted away.

The gods were somewhat reluctant, but they also felt their fighting spirit soar, and they became firm again.

The Father God was watching them. No one wanted to lose face in this battle, and no one wanted to be the only one, like the God of Knowledge, to always receive the most attention and praise from the Father God.

A different kind of temperament from the past appeared among the current six gods. Their war rhythm began to become unscrupulous, not caring about input and output.

This naturally led to the pressure faced by the Green Vine Empire suddenly increasing countless times.

……

……

God-Slaying Fortress, now this place has become Roger's permanent residence.

Although he had met the certain Empress once and even held her hand, she was clearly unwilling to see him again.

Obviously, the hurdle in her heart hadn't passed, and she didn't know if it ever would.

Although his skin had been toughened, he also knew that approaching her at this time would likely have the opposite effect.

It just so happened that the God-Slaying Fortress also needed someone with sufficient status to preside over the overall situation, to withstand the increasingly frantic attacks of the six gods, and to restrain the fleet marshals, so he simply took up permanent residence here.

The construction here was still mainly focused on defense, with a large number of fleets stationed, absorbing talents and powerhouses from various planes, relying on the Conqueror's Canyon as the center, and constantly expanding outwards. Warships and newly built non-motorized fortresses crisscrossed, forming an extremely complex three-dimensional defense line.

Even if the gods themselves came here, it would be impossible to break through the fortress group in a short time and attack the planes protected behind it.

Moreover, as the Green Vine Empire no longer hid behind the scenes, their relationship with the System Sons' worlds was also made public. In addition, with the outstanding results achieved by the Tianming Army in various planes, the God-Slaying Fortress had the feeling of an international space station:

It almost gathered the essence of worlds with autonomous capabilities and unwilling to accept the gods' beliefs, countless powerhouses worked here, and massive resources converged here.

Saying no to the old rulers had become the most steadfast ideal entrusted to the bottom of these existences' hearts.

With the technical support provided by the Green Vine Empire, and with Galillei, Newton, and others analyzing the deeper rules of the multiverse, the routes and restrictions for teleportation between the major planes were adjusted.

Originally, the entire multiverse was an interlaced Rubik's Cube, with complex internal routes. The so-called teleportation was to carry out rapid movement through the subspace channels between the major planes.

The God of Knowledge's Void Between Worlds was to directly make the subspace permanent, thereby creating a transportation hub, so it would appear so special in the God Kingdom.

Although the subspace did not correspond one-to-one with the real universe, it also had a complex three-dimensional transportation network, and there were many paths to choose for teleportation.

A higher level of spatial understanding could optimize the teleportation path and find shortcuts. It was not necessarily an increase in speed, but it could use better fuel consumption to reach the target world.

Tianhai Tower had always been the ceiling of the Green Vine Empire's magical space theory. With the improvement of the empire's national strength, it had also obtained a large number of talents, and a large number of mages who traveled in various worlds and had a deeper understanding of space and planes.

They were originally good at cross-space movement and had long been acquainted with Galillei and others, but no one was convinced by anyone.

Until Tianhai Tower ate the welfare of the empire's rapid development, the equipment and equipment that all kinds of theoretical madmen craved were manufactured as if they didn't cost money, and the attraction to these magical lunatics naturally increased exponentially.

It wasn't that other mages were poor, but many things not only required resources, but also required massive manpower and productivity, stacked up with countless man-hours.

In traditional magical civilizations, this kind of super-advanced magical item was gradually polished by legendary magic.

This method could still be used to create personal artifact equipment, but if it was the kind of research item that required the power of the entire country to complete, in order to carry out deeper magical research, it was not something that one or two magic towers, or the power of a certain school, could do.

Only the Green Vine Empire, which industrialized magic and cultivated enough high-quality workers, and had a sound and perfect socialized production system, could concentrate its power to accomplish many magical designs that verified the most cutting-edge concepts.

It was precisely by relying on this advantage that Tianhai Tower became a sacred place for mages to study space theory within the scope of the multiverse.

Concentrating talents and resources brought about the collision of ideas and gave birth to more and more results.

Among them, a very important item, relying on the exploration of the mysteries of space, the Green Vine Empire can now block the subspace of a certain target, leaving only a single channel to enter.

It is somewhat similar to space anchors and dimensional locks, but this is a deeper and more precise blockade, and the blockade has become a kind of control over space, similar to the firewall control, which can be accurately controlled.

This technology is called the Galillei Dam, somewhat similar to the firewall of later generations' computer networks, which artificially intervenes and artificially controls the teleportation of space.

The principle is very simple, but the real operation requires an extremely thorough understanding of space, and to obtain detailed information about that plane, then carry out calculations, and finally start the blockade and deployment. It is a super project that requires a massive investment of technical power, manpower, and material resources.

The Galillei Dam has become a supplement to the plane wandering plan and has been well developed. After the successful practice in the Eternal Night World, it continues to be promoted to other planes.

The premise is that the world has been controlled by more than half of the territory by non-believing mortal forces, and can resist the church's counterattack for a period of time, and has a relatively stable construction period.

When the Galillei Dam is completed, the victory of the mortals can be announced. The world will not be easily invaded by the gods in a short time. The church will not get external supplements and will eventually be destroyed by constant internal uprisings and the encirclement of the Tianming Army.

As the Galillei Dams are completed one by one, and the worlds owned by mortals are built up, there will be a system called the "God Burial Maze", which is connected by planes and becomes the natural danger arranged by the mortals for the gods, which the Green Vine Empire mainly relies on.

The Galillei Dam restricts the teleportation of the gods and restricts their power projection. The teleportation between a series of planes can only pass through the fixed path designed by Tianhai Tower.

This is like the gods' attack routes being restricted due to terrain factors when they want to break through these planes.

In the past, the six gods also attacked one plane at a time, but that attack route was designated by the God of Knowledge, but now the mortals set the questions and limit the mobility of the gods.

As more and more planes with Galillei Dams are built, the maze formed will become larger and more complex.

By concentrating the arrangement and allocation of power and resources, and withdrawing the production population to the rear, and establishing one fortress world after another on the front line, it will definitely make the gods fight until they vomit blood.

The entrance to the entire God Burial Maze is the God-Slaying Fortress. It must be broken before the gods can truly come into contact with the mortal planes protected by the God Burial Maze system.

Under such a three-dimensional defense system, even if it is impossible to achieve an inch of land for an inch of blood, it can greatly delay the gods' attack power and delay the time they have.

Originally, the construction of this orientation system was quite smooth. The actions of the Tianming Army were smooth, and the System Sons' resistance to the gods also achieved a highlight moment of counterattack. The God Burial Maze was expanding rapidly, and their confidence in defending the power of the gods was also growing.

Then the six gods changed their moves. It seemed that the sleeping dragon had finally woken up and showed its fangs. They no longer passively dismantled the problems thrown out by the Green Vine Empire, but also posed a problem for the actions of the Tianming Army:

Clear the fields and carry out super-large-scale sacrifices!

"Our Spark Program can no longer be carried out and can be declared a failure."

Xiana painfully stated, "Because the enemy's actions were too decisive, a large number of our excellent soldiers were killed during the infiltration process and had no time to retreat. It was my untimely reaction."

"Don't blame you. After all, Nalinair has never seen such a scene. The six gods suddenly being so ruthless is indeed beyond our expectations, but it is also reasonable - if they didn't have such means, they would not have become the victors of the previous universe."

Roger looked at the shocking number of casualties and also felt deeply shocked, but he tried to maintain his composure and stabilize the oppressive atmosphere in the conference room at this moment.

Because the six gods could not stand the harassment of the Tianming Army, faced with continuous uprisings and independent battles, and felt that this was something they could not handle, and the cost of identifying ordinary believers and Tianming Army undercover agents was too high, they simply and neatly carried out a ruthless policy:

Slaughter.

Aren't you playing undercover, playing with believer rebellion?

Okay, we will kill these believers cleanly and directly extract them into faith power. Let's see if the methods that your Tianming Army is best at are still useful?

So a terrible massacre began. Countless worlds that had been controlled by the gods, or were semi-controlled and could penetrate power, were destroyed and then subjected to a terrifying slaughter sacrifice.

Not only were those civilians and believers heavily casualties, but also the Tianming Army soldiers ambushed in those worlds by the Spark Program were not withdrawn, and the number of deaths exceeded one million.

To be able to become an undercover agent to carry out the Spark Program, they must be elites, with no shortage of brains, abilities, and minds. They are irreplaceable talents in the short term.

This move by the gods disrupted all the demigods of the Green Vine Empire.

"But how will they solve the consumption of faith power without believers?"

Nalineel looked puzzled until she saw the latest intelligence.

Chapter 272: The Eternal Night Empress's Initiative Invitation

The answer to how the Six Gods solved the source of faith power is also very simple: rebuild the church and cultivate new races that can become believers.

Prior to this, a God-level Abomination ship crashed in battle, and then the Seven Gods' camp mastered the Azure Vine Empire's modified creatures and directional modulation technology.

In addition, they already had extensive experience in biological modification. The process of bestowing various divine powers and descension all involved biological modification to varying degrees.

This time, the gods didn't want combat power, nor did they want believers who were intelligent, clever, or skilled in music and other arts. They simply wanted simple 'milk cows' that could provide faith.

Whether it was the God of Knowledge or other gods who participated, the Six Gods created a swarm-like creature that reproduces rapidly through oviparity and whose emotions are controlled by biological pheromones.

They regard the Six Gods as supreme, mother-like beings, able to endure the most tedious repetitive labor, and do not undertake the work of reproduction, only work and praise the gods, but all the meaning of their existence.

Even the combat power of this swarm is very worrying. They are only good at reproduction and ignorant prayer. The encirclement work is undertaken by prayer warriors and angels.

Strictly speaking, this cannot become a Zerg race. The most terrifying infinite evolution ability of the Zerg has been deleted, and the growth of intelligence and body may have been restricted. No matter how many eras they exist, they can only contribute faith as livestock.

Indeed, the gods also positioned them that way, regardless of whether they used to position mortals that way, which in turn triggered the rebellion of mortals.

Now they simply leave no possibility of rebellion. At least at this moment when the Tianming Army is trying to ignite the spark, they prohibit the intellectual growth of the most basic believers and name them 'God-Chanting Worms'.

Each one only needs to constantly expand the nest and hatch cubs with sufficient food, and then worship the existence of the gods under the control of pheromones.

Admittedly, the efficiency of obtaining faith is closely related to attributes such as intelligence, perception, and the complexity of thinking. The efficiency of obtaining faith power from a bunch of worms that cannot even give birth to civilization is also very low.

Under the same weight, they may not even be able to provide one-tenth of what ordinary people used to provide, after all, these worms will not understand what is piety and what is a fanatic.

They have just reached the 'faith' line and are pets that can provide faith.

But the benefit of low energy is that they are stable, will not betray, will not think wildly, and will not become targets for the Tianming Army to use.
