Chapter 824: Authority Control Progress, Another Divine Power Troop (2)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ji Chen’s gaze slightly narrowed, not particularly concerned about the words of praise, but rather about a certain issue.

You mentioned that since tens of thousands of years ago, the gods have been unable to descend into the main world in their true forms?”

Nora replied confidently, “That’s right. However, the orderly gods did not disclose this information to the believers in the main world. Since then, the gods have only appeared to believers in the form of divine manifestations… Anyway, due to beliefs and such, the believers couldn’t tell them apart either.” “What reasons led to the main world restricting the entry of the gods?” “Well, the orderly gods speculate that it is mostly related to the breaking of the seal by the dark gods.” Nora pursed her lips. “But some gods have also discovered that the world rules seem to no longer welcome overly powerful beings to stay in the main world.”

This became somewhat evident after the first divine war, perhaps because the scars inflicted by the war on this world and its planes were too severe.

In pursuit of their own interests, factions, and preferences, the gods continuously waged wars, causing mountains and rivers to collapse, living beings to suffer, and countless believers to perish. Consequently, the world rules began actively repelling the gods who initiated the divine war.

Forcing these “destructors” to leave.

As time passed, the suppression and rejection gradually intensified. The gods had no choice but to leave the main world and return to the divine realm in the void, occasionally manifesting to believers through divine manifestations to sustain the power of faith.

These are secrets known only to the gods, lost in the long river of time in the main world, narrated through the mouth of this “descended” Starlight God. “Then is the Elf Mother Goddess Eluvita also affected? I heard from the elves that in the past decade or so, they have not received any commands from the Elf Mother Goddess.”

“Most likely, Eluvita is one of the most powerful gods among the Orderly Gods, so she should have suffered the most severe suppression and rejection. In recent years, the dark gods have been continuously compressing the frontline of the gods of order, even launching attacks on various orderly god realms. Although we Orderly Gods cannot descend commands, receiving prayers from believers in the main world is still possible through the power of faith.”

Nora pursed her lips and said, “But why are you inquiring about this great god Eluvita?”

…The Empress of the Elf Empire told me about this matter, and I was somewhat curious.”

Ji Chen said, “Anyway, after defeating the Decay Lord this time, three of the five demon lords who assisted the dark gods in attacking cities and strongholds have been slain. Once the last two are also defeated, the faith in darkness and evil will be extinguished.

Then, no matter how the dark gods scheme and conspire, their efforts will be in vain. The faith of the orderly fraction will continuously empower the orderly gods for the battle ahead.”

Nora agreed. “That’s right. Since the gods cannot descend into the main world, as long as all those minions who stick their heads out are killed, the dark gods will only march towards their doom step by step!”

In this conversation, Ji Chen gained quite a bit of useful information.

The rejection of the world rules, the dark gods attacking the orderly god realms, Eluvita…

Upon knowing for certain that the gods cannot directly come to the main world and can only manifest through divine incarnations, Ji Chen felt as if something in his heart had been set down.

Perhaps he could be more aggressive in his actions.

Returning to the New Moon Islands from the Mordor Strait, Ji Chen immediately came to the Divine Power Forest. After continuously nurturing with rare resources day after day, now every treetop of the more than 13,000 Divine Power Trees was adorned with crystalline divine power crystals. Some were as big as pumpkins, while others were as small as baby fists.

It could be inferred from the ambush by five incarnated gods in the Mordor Strait that he was now in the sights of the dark gods and even considered an enemy that needed to be personally eliminated.

Therefore, the Crown of the Ocean must also possess the power to resist the gods.

This was Ji Chen’s goal and idea.

Now the only way was to fully develop divine power troops, at least to be able to confront the minions of the dark gods – the Black Beasts.

Otherwise, if Ji Chen were absent from his territory one day and the dark gods secretly sent a large army of Black Beasts to launch a surprise attack, the result could be imagined.

In addition, he also needed to continue to strengthen his own strength, focusing on leveling up, and then searching for more neglected authority left in the main world.

According to the Starlight God Nora’s words, in that distant era that was now almost imperceptible, the gods were not as rare as they are now.

Every race was extremely developed and prosperous, with many individuals ascending to become gods, and the existing divine powers were not limited to the hundreds recorded today.

During the first war of the gods, the dark gods, the orderly gods, and even other neutral gods fought each other for believers, land, and resources. Hundreds of fallen gods were scattered throughout the world.

After the first war of the gods ended, the orderly gods organized efforts to retrieve some of the scattered authorities, but there were still quite a few authorities scattered in hidden places, waiting for someone destined to find them.

Although these authorities might not be stronger than the ones recorded now, they still possessed considerable power. If obtained, it would undoubtedly be a significant boost.

Once the plan was determined, Ji Chen put it on the agenda.

If this Divine Power Forest was continuously fed with rare resources, the weekly output would be about 300,000 units of divine power crystals, enough to promote the sixth-tier troops equivalent to the number of Oceanic Crystal Dragons into Divine Power troops.

Regarding the next promoted troop, he also had a quantified amount in mind. First, Ji Chen harvested a wave of mature divine power crystals from the Divine Power Trees, harvesting 300,000 units of divine power crystals this week, accumulating the remaining 60,000 units of divine power crystals from the previously transformed Oceanic Crystal Dragons.

Then he opened the troop technology tree.

(Naga Iron Colossus (Sixth-tier 4-star): Consumes 275 units of divine power crystals, can transform one unit of Naga Iron Colossus into Divine Power Naga Iron Colossus (Sixth-tier 9-star)]

[Current divine power crystal count is 362,500 units, allowing the transformation of up to 1,318 Naga Iron Colossus (Sixth-tier 4-star) into Divine Power Naga Iron Colossus (Sixth-tier 9-star)]

[Confirm?]

“Confirm.”

“Consuming 362,500 units, transforming 1,318 Naga Iron Colossus (Sixth-tier

[Northwest Axe King Advanced Version]

Like the transformed Divine Power Oceanic Crystal Dragons, the Naga Iron Colossus underwent tremendous changes after transforming into Divine Power troops.

Just as its name suggests, behind the name Iron Colossus lies a defense comparable to city walls, and its ability to enlarge its body makes it akin to heavy cavalry.

However, even if all the divine power crystals on hand were used up, only over a thousand Naga Iron Colossi could be transformed. It would still take some time to transform the remaining over three thousand.
