Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan

Therefore, in this Cosmos, it was clear that if Deities wanted to grow quickly, they couldn't do so without faith.

Furthermore, in this Cosmos, all worlds—be they planets or non-planetary planes—had no so-called source of Star Energy.

If they didn't plunder the Heart Cores of other worlds to grow...

...then their only recourse was to slowly raise their energy levels over eons by absorbing the essence of all living things through the prosperity and demise of countless lives.

Thus, in a Cosmos like this, if a world couldn't find other worlds to accelerate its growth...

...then the only way to grow at the fastest possible rate was to create cyclical doomsdays to continually harvest living beings.

This was precisely the case with the current Witch God World.

If a Deity achieved a status similar to a Main God—that is, a Fourth Heaven existence—

...then they would naturally receive feedback from the rules and understand how to help their world become a High Level World as quickly as possible.

Therefore, in such a world, once that point was reached, cyclical doomsdays were an absolute certainty.

Even if not doomsdays, then cyclical great wars would constantly play out among the many worlds.

It was also worth mentioning...

...that although the current Witch God World was only a Third Heaven world...

...it could only accommodate the existence of a single Deity at the Fourth Heaven realm.

But even if a Fourth Heaven Deity appeared, the world would not automatically increase its energy level.

It would, therefore, remain a Third Heaven world.

The Celestial Realm wouldn't automatically add 'another Heaven' just because a Fourth Heaven Deity existed.

The simplest way for a world to ascend was to devour multiple Third Heaven worlds, or a single Sixth Heaven world, to directly ascend to a Sixth Heaven world in one go.

One could only imagine the difficulty involved.

But this also served as a reflection of this Cosmos's cruelty.

Compared to the Star Cosmos, the Great Dao of this Cosmos was clearly much less "humane."

It was truly raising all life and Deities like insects in a jar, forcing them to fight to the death.

However, the Star Cosmos wasn't much better.

After all, this was the very backdrop from which civilizational conflicts arose.

In any case, given the current situation, Lince planned to go with the flow.

In fact, Lince had always been rather easygoing and disliked speaking with the stern, stuffy tone of an Upper-Rank being.

This suited him just fine.

"I am now fully recovered."

"I have summoned you here simply to inform you all that I have healed."

"Now, it's time for the conflicts of the mortal world—or rather, the conflicts of this Third Heaven—to come to an end."

Lince's tone was perfectly calm.

But upon hearing this, Witch Slaughter's expression went blank.

Witch Slaughter was naturally overjoyed that the Deity had recovered.

But from what the Blazing God was saying, he intended to take revenge the moment he returned?

'How is that possible?'

The Frost Silkworm God had now absorbed the treacherous Subordinate Gods who had abandoned the Blazing God during his defeat, as well as the Deities of some surrounding minor tribes.

Given the situation...

...Witch Slaughter felt it would be a feat if the Blazing God could simply protect himself, let alone if the Flame Race could hold on to their current territory.

'How could he take such a risk?'

'Even if he wanted revenge, now wasn't the time!'

'At the very least, he should summon a group of Witch God Guards, or even persuade some Subordinate Gods to return to our side first!'

Thus, Witch Slaughter's expression was one of alarm.

He immediately spoke up:

"Blazing God, do you mean to seek revenge on the Frost Silkworm God right now?"

Seeing Witch Slaughter's expression, a hint of a smile finally appeared in Lince's indifferent eyes.

"Alright, I know what you're thinking, little one."

"But your worries are unnecessary."

"You must understand, now that I have returned to my own Celestial Domain, even if I don't go looking for trouble with the Frost Silkworm God, it will come looking for trouble with me."

As he said this...

...Lince suddenly turned the Lizard's head to look toward a section of the Celestial Realm to his left.

Then, he suddenly gave another inexplicable smile.

"See? Look. The Frost Silkworm God is already here, unable to wait any longer."

Startled again, Witch Slaughter immediately looked in the direction Lince had turned.

And right there...

...piercing through the vast, white curtains of clouds in the Celestial Realm...

...a gigantic, snow-white Ice Silkworm suddenly revealed itself!

And behind it followed four Second Heaven Deities and more than ten First Heaven Deities.

In the Witch God World...

...Deities at the Second Heaven realm could only remain in the Second Heaven.

The same was true for the First Heaven.

To cross the boundary between Heavens, one either had to advance in Divine Power or be permitted entry by a Deity from that higher layer, who would open a passage for them.

Otherwise, it was absolutely impossible for Deities from the Second Heaven, let alone the First Heaven, to appear in the Third Heaven.

The rules of this Cosmos, of this world, were incredibly strict.

This was true for mortals, and even more so for Deities.

Therefore, the Second and First Heaven Deities appearing behind the Ice Silkworm now were naturally its Vassal Subordinate Gods.

But the forces behind the Ice Silkworm were far from just that, as more than six hundred Witch God Guards were now appearing in succession behind it.

...Witch Slaughter was now somewhat terrified.

But before the Ice Silkworm or Witch Slaughter could speak to Lince...

...Lince spoke first with a faint smile.

"It seems, Frost Silkworm, that you can't wait a single moment longer for my demise."

The Ice Silkworm had yet to speak. Seeing that the Giant Lizard not only didn't flee but was even speaking to it with what seemed like forced composure...

...it frowned.

As if suspicious of something, it immediately scanned the surrounding Celestial Realm and said:

"Hmph!"

"Scorched Lizard, cut the crap. You should have known this day would come for us sooner or later."
