Alternate World: I Started With Two SSS Templates

521 Slow Walk

Not only was the God of Darkness’s priest shocked, but the God of Darkness was just the same.

The Xia Dynasty was actually going for it!

No, no, could it be that the people of the Xia Dynasty were instigating in the dark?

It was very possible!

The eastern barren territory was in trouble now. Although they could still gather a few strong cultivators through the covenant of gods, they were not confident in dealing with the Xia Dynasty easily.

The southern barbarians had gathered more than half of the top forces. Although the gods had not made a move yet, their true forms were already hidden in the southern barbarians. They were confronting the top cultivators from the South.

They were all aware that the war was deliberately incited by someone, and it was precisely because of that that both sides were very restrained and tried not to fight as much as possible. However, their expressions were very unsightly in the face of the increasing number of warriors that kept showing up. Be it the gods or the priests, they had always been high and mighty, but in fact, they were well aware that the gods needed faith, and the priests needed to manage the faith for the gods.However, faith came from the lower class citizens.

Once their actions don’t meet the expectations of the lower class citizens, the level of faith would decline, the power of faith would become impure, and the power they have will decrease… All in all, the path to become stronger slows down.

In the age of desolation, if the path to becoming stronger slows down, it means that one would fall behind. Falling behind meant being beaten, and the final outcome would probably be that other gods would snatch away their believers, completely losing all faith and becoming a desolate beast with no future.

Even if the gods commanded all living beings, they could not defy the will of all living beings.

Right now, many low-level believers vowed to fight to the death with the southern barbarians. First, it was because of the previous conflict, where a stone spear stabbed a priest to death. Second, it was because the gods of the eastern barren had been spreading the hatred of the southern people for a long time, and had established a clear enemy.

This propaganda was originally a good thing. Having a clear enemy was beneficial to internal stability. With the southeast mountain range as a partition, the two sides would not fight too much.

Who would have thought one day, the southeast mountain range would disappear without a trace, and the enemy that had been promoted day and night was right in front of them. New hatred added to old hatred, and the mood for battle was ignited.

The atmosphere of the battle roared.

A banner officer riding on a wild beast quickly rushed to Lin Xuan. He got down his mount and half-knelt in front of Lin Xuan.

“Your Majesty, our army has crossed the heavenly chasm and is now reorganizing in the eastern barren territory.”

“Pass on my order. Start a fire, eat well and rest up. There’s no hurry to charge into the battlefield.”

Lin Xuan sat on Qiu. This super genius of the dragon race had finally woken up from its deep sleep. As Lin Xuan’s breakthrough was too fast, it brought too much improvement to Qiu. Even though it was a super genius, it could not bear it. It could only result in hibernation to grow at full speed.

He had been sleeping for almost a year. Now, he finally woke up from the comfortable sleep.

Now, his strength increased, and he had steadily entered the invincible level of the earth-rank. He was proficient in divine arts. With the knowledge of the dragon’s inheritance, Qiu had significantly grown up.

Lin Xuan leaped down after patting Qiu. To be honest, he was not in a hurry to get to the covenant of gods. He even wanted to tour the mountains and rivers along the way. This way, he could give the villages and towns in the eastern barren territory enough time to evacuate and then take them all into his hands.

In the eastern barren, the covenant of gods was the largest city there. The permanent population was as high as 80 million, which accounted for about 50 percent of the total population. The other 50 percent were scattered in various areas of the eastern barren in the form of villages and towns. The residents of these small cities also believed in the council of gods.

These small villages and towns would collect resources in the eastern wasteland and transport them to the covenant of gods. The covenant of gods of the eastern wasteland was a famous metropolis in the whole continent and was known as the pearl of the wilderness world dungeon.

Let’s not talk about that for now, it was time for the determinators to make a decision.

The great Xia Dynasty army set out to the eastern barren, safely crossed the natural chasm, and headed straight for the covenant of gods. With the defensive power of the covenant of gods, there was a high probability that they could defend against them. However, there was a problem.

What about the villages and towns?

Should they ignore them or defend them?

Soon, the priests in the covenant of gods made a decision to abandon the villages and towns and let all the priests who were supervising outside return.

Overnight, all the villages and towns in the eastern barren had lost their priests. The totems that protected the villages were still there, but without priests, how could ordinary people like them communicate with the gods and ask for protection when the wild beasts attacked?

After a while, someone finally realized that they had been abandoned by their God.

The sovereign views his subjects as his hands and feet, while his subjects view him as their heart.

At that moment, the faith of many gods in the eastern barren territory began to waver. Lin Xuan had only led his men into the eastern barren territory, easily forcing the gods of the eastern barren territory to give up about half of their divine beings.

Everything was going according to plan.

He was not in a hurry to get to the covenant of the gods. Firstly, he wanted to put pressure on the southern barbarians and put the eastern barren soldiers in a dilemma. They had to either return to help or fight with the southern barbarians. It would be best if they could defeat them.

Secondly, it was to force the gods to give up on the villages in the eastern barren. With the strength of the covenant of gods, the people in the towns were more than enough to defend the city but not enough to attack. All they could do was to hide inside the covenant of gods and wait for the warriors from the southeast battlefield to return. Once the gods give up on the people in the villages and towns, other than shaking the foundation of faith and losing hope, it would also have a positive effect on Lin Xuan’s acceptance of these people.

Thirdly, Lin Xuan also had to make sufficient preparations for his rule over the eastern barren territory, such as geological exploration and mapping… These steps required time to complete.

Hence, Lin Xuan was not in a hurry at all. He would take it slow since he had time.

According to the analysis of many military experts in Taixia County, as long as Lin Xuan gave them enough pressure, he would force the eastern barren soldiers in the southeast battlefield to be more courageous. When they were under great pressure, they would vent it out.

It would result in a life-and-death battle!

Once the battle started, whether the war would be fought or not, and how it would end up, was not something that those gods who did not participate could decide!
