Louie’s mood shifted as he returned their gazes. Just like the other gods inside the Pantheon, the Goddesses of Magic and Earth also had hazy appearances. Only the aura of their divine authority could be felt on the surface.
The Goddess of Magic’s aura was obscure and difficult to understand due to the nature of magic which hinted at endless knowledge. On the other hand, the Goddess of Earth let out a mild and elegant aura like farmers emitting vigorous joy while working on the land during spring and summer.
‘If Shae had not told me that she had regained her original self, the air surrounding her seemed to be peaceful and unwilling to go to war. It was definitely an aura that was worthy of many gods’ respect.’
This was the truth. In the Era of the Gods, there might have been some people who could not see eye to eye with the Mother Earth Goddess, but no one hated her to death. She did not appear publicly much and also looked like an old lady to the point that some people even forgot that such a god existed.
If she had not grasped the divine authority of ‘earth’ and ‘farming’ that were closely tied with human livelihood that allowed her to possess level 18 divine power, then many people might have forgotten her.
The significance of the Mother Earth Goddess Chauntea among humans could be described as the god of the land and grain. This was the origin of Chauntea’s power.
‘Shae warned me to keep myself young at heart. Although gods are physically immortal, the spirit will still decay and grow old along the river of time. This was similar to words spoken by Taoists. Chauntea was a good example for all the gods, telling them what the gods would look like if their minds grew old.’
‘If she was still the same, Chauntea might have given up her own divine authority by herself after tens of thousands of years and lived a reclusive life. However, the Terran Civilization’s invasion was instead a big help to her and allowed her to regain her original appearance and vitality.’
Chauntea had given all the gods a cautionary example and used herself to tell the gods how to maintain their spiritedness, otherwise, they would one day be physically immortal but spiritually aging.
Thinking about this, Louie felt that the goddesses living in the Arborea Realm had more comfortable lives. They would have banquets and live a life of pleasure, making it impossible for their spirits to decay.
The three gods did not say anything, but their gazes were intertwined. What surprised Louie was that the Goddess of Magic was hostile to him, but her hostility was relatively light, while the Goddess of Earth’s hostility was unusually strong.
After thinking about it, Louie could vaguely guess why that was so. The Goddess of Magic was currently in her third generation. The original first generation’s nature had been greatly reduced. As a result, the current generation did not have much ambition. Even if Louie took away a part of her divine authority, it was not harmful to her at all. . As long as Louie did not interfere with her ‘magic network’, they would not become archnemeses.
On the other hand, Chauntea was different. Chauntea had now recovered her original self which was a young and lively girl. She also had plans to make everyone return to the matriarchy which meant that she had a lot of ambition. Louie had taken away a part of her divine authority which was something that she could never accept. Lacking a portion of her divine authority would mean that she would not be able to reach level 20.
‘Compared to the Goddess of Magic, I should pay more attention to Chauntea. This Goddess has always maintained above level 18 godhood and mostly level 19 is the true threat.’
Louie felt a headache. If possible, he really did not want to make enemies with such a god, but Louie was now a god, so he could not just grovel in front of the other gods. If he did, everyone would laugh at him. He would lose his majesty and dignity. As a result, he would never take the initiative to return the divine authority.
‘Once I become the Serpent of Order, I will crush you to death with a finger if you do not submit.’
Although he had such powerful gods as enemies, Louie was not afraid. His future was unlimited, and everything now was just a momentary gain or loss.
Louie nodded to the Goddess of Magic and Goddess of Earth. Although everyone was already showing their true face, no one was rogue enough to start shouting in this Pantheon. They still maintained the most basic reservations.
At the same time, Louie had seen all the gods present.
The three gods at the highest position were the Goddess of Morning, Lorentia, the God of War, Marzalis, and the Goddess of Earth, Chauntea. These three gods were gods of the human divine system and were temporarily the strongest gods.
In Louie’s point of view, these three were at level 9 or 10. It was likely that they could reach higher, but they probably decided not to shoot themselves in the foot or were perhaps still consolidating their faith.
Now, the Theocracy had fallen apart, but the existence of the Theocracy had laid a foundation for the Goddess of Morning and God of War. This allowed the two of them to directly intervene in their own church and possess enough believers that supported them, so it made sense that they could occupy the front row.
Chauntea also had a lot of secret movements and even set up the ‘Feminist Witch Council’ which previously included Shae. This meant that her ability to maintain her position was also expected.
The gods under the first three were also quite spectacular. There was the dragon divine system, Louie, and the elven divine system Sleune. There were also the four main gods of the elemental divine system namely the Goddess of the Wind Element Akadi, the God of the Earth Element Grumbar, the God of the Water Element Istishia, and the God of the Fire Element Kossuth.
These four elemental gods were the incarnation of the elements. They lived in the inner plans of the four elemental realms. Their followers were the major elementals, and they had little influence over the main continent with only a few believers there. As a result, all the gods maintained respect for them but did not pay them any mind. Moreover, the four of them were hostile to each other in ways similar to Shae and Selune.
Other than the four elemental gods, there was also the God of Beastmen Gwen, the God of Dwarves Moradin, the God of Gnomes Garl, the God of Halflings Yondalla, and the list goes on and on. These non-human gods and goddesses were now alone without any subordinate gods. Other than the beastmen divine system and the human divine system who had been fighting, the other gods and goddesses had their own businesses, so there was no need to concern themselves with them too much.
In fact, the last dragon divine system was the same, but now that Louie was the Dragon God, he had broken through racial restrictions and began to compete with the human divine system on the main continent.
Louie gazed at each one of the gods, but the only ones that nodded back in a friendly manner were those from non-human divine systems that had no hostility toward him. These non-human gods would also sometimes unite together to fight against the human gods.
In the past, the Dragon God was too arrogant and did not interact with other gods, so it wasn’t able to make any friends and alliances, but they saw that the new Dragon God was different from the past one. Their ambitions and differences could be seen especially when the new Dragon God had stirred up a storm on the main continent. If they could get help from the Dragon God, they could improve their position greatly.
What surprised Louie the most was how friendly the God of War was to him, but thinking again, the God of War did not have any clashes with him. Moreover, the Goddess of Morning was pressuring him, so it made sense that he wanted to have a good relationship.
The complexity of the relationships of the gods was even more chaotic than in a human kingdom, because some gods had conflicts entirely due to divine authority, and these conflicts might not even be intentional.
After looking past these gods, Louie looked at those gods below level 5.
There was the Goddess of the Unicorns Lara, his subordinate god pretending to be the God of Kobolds, Shae, the God of Power Kord who the barbarians believed in, the Goddess of Winter, who the primitive female tribes in the northern highlands believed in, the Goddess of Spiders who Louie had met before, and her subordinate god, the God of Mollusks.
The Goddess of Magic and the Goddess of Love and Beauty also belonged in this category. The Goddess of Magic had not yet constructed her magic network, as a result, not many mages placed their faith in her, so she was still weak. Once she finished doing so she could gain a lot of faith and strong divine power.
On the other hand, the Goddess of Love and Beauty had been defeated by the Goddess of Morning and God of War in stealing believers in the Theocracy, but with her teachings, it would not be difficult for her to be able to gain more believers.
One of the most striking to Louie was a domineering god that was also the new God of Fairness and Law, Thoma.
It was said that in the Era of the Gods, there was an extremely powerful god who held only two divine authorities — ‘justice’ and ‘fairness’. This allowed him to become a high-tier god, but this god had already fallen. His most important divine authority of justice had been taken away by the Goddess of Morning, and the divine authority of fairness had been taken by this new god.
‘Fairness and law are also very promising divine authorities.’
Louie sighed. In addition to this, there was also the newly ordained Goddess of Joy, God of Knowledge, and so on and so forth. Although this was just the start of the new era, there were already a lot of gods.
In this Pantheon, 20 to 30 of the gods were the real rulers of this universe.
By the time one last god sat down, all of the gods who had ascended had arrived.
“My fellow gods, a new era has arrived. The Pantheon has opened and here, the meeting of the gods begins!”
As the strongest god at the moment, the Goddess of Morning spoke out.
