Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton

The projection onto the Divine Body, Lord Light, shook his head and expressionlessly said, “No.”

The shadow cast by Lord Light on the ground also cracked a smile and said, “No.”

“Where did he learn about the new storm then? The stars grow dim, the Red Star shines brightly, thunder is to return? Which thunder?” Guliani asked.

“The Thunder Titan.” Lord Light responded.

As they were conversing, the communication meeting also erupted into chaos. Copperhammer Dwarven King, all agitated, exclaimed, “The Thunder Titan? Are you talking about the Thunder God? The Thunder God is returning?”

“Stars grow dim? How is this so similar to the phenomena I observed when stargazing? The data I collected from the Stargazing Tower over these years showed that the brightness of the stars has indeed been continuously declining. Could this ‘stars grow dim’ refer to this phenomenon?” Tyrone pondered.

“What about the Red Star? If the proverb corresponds to the star pattern, then what about the Red Star? Have you seen the Red Star?” Anthony inquired.

“No, I haven’t spotted the Red Star. What about this new storm? What does it indicate? Surely it can’t be a meteor shower?” Tyrone asked.

“Next, I’m going through the matter of this storm. Please, everyone, pledge an oath not to leak today’s meeting content.” Anthony solemnly stated.

Anthony naturally did not heed him and quickly conveyed the matter of the gods.

Everyone actually had some anticipation and guesswork, after all, the gods have not appeared for thousands of years.

But they dared not to affirm it, because nine hundred years ago, the God of Arbitration still descended, and the God of Life has also been sheltering the elves all along.

Everyone could not differentiate the distinction between the God of Life and other gods, thus treating them all the same.

Upon hearing Anthony’s narration, Tyrone summarised, “So a Faith Storm that took place over a thousand years ago destroyed the majority of the gods, and now, a new Faith Storm is about to arrive?”

“Yes.” Anthony responded.

“Does this Faith Storm affect ordinary people? Such as a Truth Mage like myself?” Tyrone asked.

A Truth Mage, after all, claims to be a Truth ‘God’. Will he be affected by the storm?

Gailard anxiously questioned, “What about the God of Life? Will the God of Life be affected? Has the storm already begun to take effect? Recently, the God of Life has been relatively quiet. Could it be the influence of the storm?”

Anthony sneered in his heart: Is that the storm’s influence? That’s your God of Life running away.

While he thought so in his heart, he couldn’t say it out loud. Anthony clarified, “No, the Faith Storm only affects those beings who possess divinity and Divine Fire.”

Upon hearing these words, Guliani’s heart jolted, and he swiftly asked, “Lord Light, will the Divine Fire also be affected?”

Lord Light shook his head blankly…

Guliani had just heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Lord Light say, “I don’t know.”

Guliani almost spewed out blood. It turned out that ‘shaking his head’ meant he did not know.

The God of the Dark emerged from the shadow, “What are you worry about? You don’t possess the Divine Fire.”

Guliani laughed bitterly and offered his Divine Fire, “Ignited a couple of days ago.”

“That’s impossible. The ignition of the Divine Fire is a grand event, why didn’t anyone detect it? Which plane did you ignite it on?” the God of the Dark asked doubtfully. ṘäＮóΒЁⱾ

When Ange ignited the Divine Fire, Redemption deep within the same plane’s seabed cavern sensed it. Basically, as long as you’re in the same plane, the act of igniting the Divine Fire is easily sensed by other deities.

Guliani lit the Divine Fire a couple of days ago, but nobody felt it. Apparently, when he kindled the Divine Fire, he was not on this plane, nor in the secret world where the God of Light and Darkness resides.

“I’m in… Let’s discuss it later.” Guliani abruptly changed the subject, pointing at the Teleportation Array. Tyrone was speaking.

Tyrone said, “So the current situation is that faith storm a thousand years ago destroyed all gods, it had no effect on ordinary people, so shouldn’t we just ignore it?”

The God of Light and Darkness could no longer care about Guliani’s change in topic. Even Guliani himself was so overcome with urgency that he said, “No way!”

“But I think Tyrone makes a lot of sense,” Copperhammer’s voice rang out: “Since the gods fell a thousand years ago, why should we still care about the faith storm? Shouldn’t we welcome the return of the Thunder God after the Red Star Flash?”

Without their War God and God of Forging, the Dwarves didn’t have to worry about the faith storm. Instead, they eagerly awaited the Thunder God’s return after the Red Star Flash.

“I…” Just as Guliani was about to speak, he was interrupted by Copperhammer: “What? You want to block the return of the Thunder? We Dwarves will fight to the death.”

Oh no, had internal strife arisen between humans and dwarves even before the meeting ended?

Tyrone frowned, intending to maintain some order, only to hear Anthony say, “Enough, don’t be so naive. The returning Thunder might not necessarily be your Thunder God. What if it isn’t? If it were your Thunder God, why didn’t he notify you directly?”

Copperhammer was taken aback. He was so excited about Thunder’s return that he hadn’t thought it through. Reminded by Anthony, he finally got it: “You’ve got a point, but what if it’s the real Thunder God?”

“If it is the real Thunder God, I guarantee his safe return, but I will stop those who bring him back. That way, he will rely on you Dwarves again. Otherwise, if he brings back a bunch of Titans, who will you listen to then? You can believe, but you need to take the initiative,” Anthony explained.

Several gasps resounded from the Teleportation Array. Even Tyrone was impressed. This was a genuine attempt to sow discord, trying to drive a wedge between the Dwarves and the Thunder God.

Compared with Anthony, Guliani’s previous attempts at stirring trouble seemed forced.

This was the best strategy for the Dwarves. If it was not the Thunder God, they ought to block it. If it was, then they should stop those who brought the Thunder God back. Otherwise, why should the Dwarves continue to receive the protection of the Thunder God?

Apart from being slightly disrespectful to the gods, everyone knew what choice Copperhammer would make. As expected, no more sound came from the Teleportation Array. The silence at that moment was tantamount to tacit agreement.

Having calmed Copperhammer down, Anthony continued: “Not all deities have perished. As far as I know, the God of Arbitration, God of Light and Darkness, God of Shadows, God of Farming, Goddess of Redemption, God of Balance, and the Harvest Goddess are still alive.”

“What? Really?!”

Guliani, shocked, turned to look at the God of Light and Darkness. The God of Shadows emerged from the shadow, astonished, “Redemption and Balance are still alive? Why didn’t you mention it?”

Confused, Guliani said, “I didn’t know.”

“Then why does Anthony know? Who’s the actual Pope? Your intelligence network is weaker than his? What kind of Pope are you!” the God of Dark couldn’t help but scold.

Guliani was at a loss for words and weakly countered, “He might be lying as well.”

The God of Dark made a strong case. As the Pope, Guliani’s sources were less informed than a high-ranking Archbishop’s. Who was truly the Pope?

The problem was that among the three major districts, he currently only had control over the Western District. His power didn’t surpass even Anthony’s, and with Dyson’s abilities falling short, it was only natural for his sources to be lacking after failing to manage his own district for so long.

Anthony’s voice continued: “The most pressing issue now is to deal with this faith storm, to find a way to protect our gods to keep them from being harmed in the faith storm. For His Majesty Gailard and Lord Brooks, who the Thunder returns with is the most important question.”

“If the Thunder were only to return by itself, there would absolutely be no need to first launch a faith storm. We must unite everyone’s strength to face this crisis, but as you all have seen recently…”

At this point, Anthony’s voice suddenly turned serious: “Guliani has no ability to unite the power of the church at all. A famine almost caused the death of several million people in the Western District.”

“He is incompetent, and now I formally propose to the council to vote against Guliani’s position as the Pope of the Church of Light, and for me to take up the post of Pope,”

Guliani’s anger nearly erupted from the Teleportation Array: “Anthony, are you rebelling?”
