Chapter 2518: Chapter 525: Lord of Dusk
Levi had never encountered a stranger who seemed so intrinsically connected to him.
He had a premonition that one day, he would meet Surgard again.
Hopefully, by then, he wouldn’t need to run away.
...
Near the Land of Darkness, not far from the Nar World.
On a magic mountain.
Surgard grinned.
"Interesting, there’s actually an insect daring to spy on me. But it’s somewhat capable, able to shield itself from my backtracking."
It wiped the Sword of World Destruction in its hand and looked forward.
There lies the Nar World, the belief land of the Heavenly Father.
Also, the next world it is about to destroy.
Now, the god of the astral world is busy fighting the Dark Insects, unable to duplicate themselves.
Undoubtedly, it’s the Abyss’s rare opportunity to strike.
As long as they keep reducing the number of the Gods’ belief lands.
Their strength will naturally decline gradually.
When belief ceases to exist, and no one remembers these Gods.
Their so-called immortality will become nothing but a dream.
...
Three days later.
Surgard arrived at the Nar World.
The apocalyptic plan began.
The Dawn Church was effortlessly crushed before such a Level 9 Demon.
As the apocalypse descended, the ignorant mortals awaited their God.
Unfortunately, until the last person died.
The Gods did not lend a helping hand.
In the magma, a church began to melt.
Before the altar of prayer, lay the remains of a saint clutching the Dawn Scripture, long dead.
On the cover of the scripture were bloody words.
[The God abandoned us...]
...
Astral world.
The dwelling place of the Gods.
Vast and boundless, it seemed to have no borders.
The spiritual force of all living beings transformed into an indescribable Sea of Ruins.
The Gods built their Divine Kingdoms upon the Sea of Ruins, basing them on belief.
For the past thousand years.
War and smoke have spread across the Sea of Ruins like wildfire.
The Gods rode Heavenly Horses, severing the thousands-mile-long insect motherships with godly swords.
Various forms of God’s Angels were arrayed around them.
Boundless divine power transformed into endless divine arts, engulfing the insects.
Some Gods were struck by biological floating cannons capable of destroying stars.
Their Divine Bodies were mostly dissolved and then wrapped like mummies by billions of insects.
They died suffocatingly amid angry roars.
Such scenes were common everywhere.
As more Gods joined the battle, the attack of the insects was finally initially curbed.
But expelling this absolutely united and efficient slaughter machine is still very distant.
The crux of this battle lies more in the struggles of the top-tier Gods and the mother nest’s will.
That is a super battle beyond the imagining of ordinary Gods.
The astral world does not possess conventional space orientations.
It is a place bizarre beyond logic and comprehension.
Any attempt to map the astral world is foolish.
Or rather, it is ever-changing, like the rotation of stars.
Weak Gods generally reside in Divine Kingdoms scattered everywhere within the stars.
These places, called the Star Wilderness, can be understood as the frontier of the mortal kingdoms.
The Star Wilderness can reflect only incomplete Multidimensional Planes.
This means fewer worlds and belief lands, fewer followers.
If the size and number of worlds were to quantify the Gods’ share of belief lands simply.
The share of the Gods dwelling in the Star Wilderness would be the Three Thousand Small Worlds.
It sounds like a lot, but for Gods needing to sow belief, it is far from enough.
Firstly, small worlds are often very small, restricted by productivity and other factors, their population is also not large.
Among them, many small worlds are barren and primitive, uninhabited and not suitable for proselytizing.
Quite a few planes are always at risk of being destroyed by various natural and human disasters.
The truly usable small world.
May only be one-third to one-tenth of the Three Thousand Small Worlds.
The Path of Faith is inherently unstable.
If the base is insufficient, the incense can easily stop, and belief can wither.
Divine power will also fluctuate accordingly, at best dropping in rank, at worst extinguishing the divine fire.
Therefore, only those weak Gods: including but not limited to various Wild Gods, Wild Gods, powerful totem emissions, newly enthroned mortal life, would dwell here.
In short, this is the "slum" of the astral world.
If the Star Wilderness were considered the outer sea region of the Endless Sea.
Going further in, through the Universal Believers Ring Mountain, you can gradually enter the Inner Circle Area:
Its name is: Forest of Myriad Phenomena.
The Gods residing in the Forest of Myriad Phenomena are no longer those miscellaneous Wild Gods.
They are renowned and legendary across the Multidimensional Plane.
These Gods are collectively termed as Intermediate Divine Power Users, or Intermediate Gods.
Before the God’s Incarnation of the Father of Plagues was slain, it was an Intermediate God.
Thus, the Universal Believers Ring Mountain marks the distinction between weak and intermediate Gods.
Those not meeting the divine power standard find it difficult to surpass this ring mountain.
Unless, as a God, you lower yourself, living humbly below others.
To become the "Subordinate God" or "Servant God" of an Intermediate God.
This means the Authority and power of faith you hold must also be shared with the Main God.
You need to change the doctrine of your followers, prioritizing the acceptance of a greater Main God.
When initiating a divine war to combat demons, the attendant gods are also those who charge forward.
In short, they are constrained at every turn.
It can be seen that the Gods are not aloof, detached from worldly desires.
On the contrary, they are more secular than mortals.
Because they are the "parasites" born of secular faith!
The Gods residing in the Forest of Myriad Phenomena have a share of belief lands that reflect all realms as:
