Chapter 535 - 535 Last Meeting
535 Last Meeting
The gods of the eastern barren didn’t expect that their leader would surrender faster than them. If they had thought of it, they would not have followed her in the first place.
The God of Darkness, who had already returned to the pact of all gods, sat on the balcony of a tall building, hugging her knees. It looked at the bright moon in the sky quietly, feeling the power of the moonlight, and sighed.
This time, she had gone to the emperor’s palace and met him face to face. She had also seen the missing gods of the eastern barren. She had gained a lot of information. At least she knew that the Human Emperor was behind all this. As long as she surrendered, she would not disappear for no reason.
After hesitating for a while, she rang the gods bell and summoned all the gods for a conference. This should be the last gods’ conference.
!!
The silver moonlight shone through the skylight above, shining on the long conference table and the throne at the head of the conference. This was the throne of the God of Darkness.
The next moment, the bunny-eared lady appeared in her best attire, and with the help of the powerful moonlight, she suppressed all the eastern barren gods below.
After all, they were transformed from desolate beasts, so they all had the title of gods. However, they were still desolate beasts in essence — wild and difficult to tame.
The originally noisy desolate beasts and gods finally quieted down after the God of Darkness’s powerful aura. First, the Sun God and Moon God had ruled the eastern barren for a long time. Even though the Sun God had disappeared, the Moon God was still around, so she still had some power. Second, the main topic of this meeting should be the whereabouts of the agreement of the gods. It was related to their own interests, so they had to be serious.
More than a month ago, King Ri led the gods to conquer the southern barbarians. The southeast mountain range disappeared. War broke out in the southeast and King Ri disappeared mysteriously. At the same time, the Human Emperor invaded the eastern barren. The other gods also had an accident and disappeared. The Human Emperor devoured the eastern barren and came to the agreement of the gods with great power.
“Everyone, today we must discuss the war and come to a conclusion. Whether to fight, defend, surrender, or escape, time will not wait for any man!”
The Moon God briefly explained what had happened. Among the gods of the eastern barren, there were a few who had not attended the meeting before. This time, she rang the bell for the meeting of the gods, and all the gods were finally gathered.
For a moment, all the gods were silent. The situation had changed so fast that there was no time for them to react. They were as stable as Mount Tai, but suddenly a fight broke out. If they fought, then so be it. King RI had disappeared. What was even more outrageous was that all the other gods had disappeared too!
Of course, the disappearance of the gods was not a big deal. Many gods who stayed under the gods’ constraints could not help but laugh. When they received the news, they immediately went to the living areas of the gods who had disappeared and took their followers.
In just one night’s time, the number of divine citizens had increased, and the speed of their cultivation had also increased.
Now, they were in trouble.
How were they going to fight? Among all the gods present, which one of them could fight against Human Emperor Lin Xuan?
All of the gods turned to look at the God of Darkness sitting at the head of the table, only to see her shake her head helplessly. She didn’t say anything, but it was clear that the God of Darkness was no match for the Human Emperor.
It was better to defend the city. With the covenant of gods, which had been in operation for hundreds of years, they could barely resist the invasion of the Human Emperor. However, it was not clear how long they could resist. Relatively speaking, many gods who had gained an advantage wanted to defend the city.
After all, the defense of the city was the responsibility of everyone, but with every extra day, the power of belief would increase.
Surrendering was also a hot topic. The Xia Dynasty had offered the title of the sacred beast to the demon dragon, which showed all the gods the benefits. Many gods wanted to become the second sacred beast. Once the great Xia Dynasty conquered the eastern barren, not only would they have an additional territory, but their population would also double!
What did doubling the population mean? It was very simple. They were the people that worshiped the gods. The number of people who could provide them with the power of faith would double!
The temptation increased greatly!
However, in the meeting, not many gods would say that they wanted to surrender. After all, gods were high and mighty. If they became the nation-protecting sacred beast, they would basically be living under someone else’s command. It was easy to do but not easy to say, and it would be embarrassing to say it out loud.
The last option to escape was even less of a choice. After all, where could they escape to? Moreover, it was basically impossible to take the divine beings with them. This also meant that once they escaped, they would have to give up their identity as gods and return to being desolate beasts.
How could this be? After becoming a desolate beast, if one wanted to become stronger, they would have to fight other desolate beasts to the death. If they were not careful, they would lose their lives.
It was difficult to go from spending extravagantly to living frugally!
In the end, most of the gods expressed that they would continue to defend the city. After all, if they could not hold on, they would surrender or escape.
The Moon God sat on the throne quietly. She looked at the discussion of all the gods present and summarized the tendencies of all the gods. Two of them were inclined to fight, four were inclined to escape, three wanted to surrender, and the rest wanted to defend the city first and see the situation.
She silently jotted it down in her little notebook. When the time came, she would hand this data over to Human Emperor Lin Xuan.
In reality, Lin Xuan was sitting on an empty throne made of sunlight at the side. He looked quietly at the eastern barren territory gods who were making a ruckus below and laughed disdainfully. He then looked at God of Darkness, who did not make a sound but was moving silently.
It was almost time. From now on, the eastern barren territory could be said to have been conquered. The next step was to cooperate with the God of Darkness and swallow the covenant of god’s whole without any trouble. By then, the whole of the eastern barren territory would fall into the hands of the Xia Dynasty.
From this moment on, Beiping, the capital of the Xia Dynasty, sent a large number of manpower to start the infrastructure of the eastern barren. There were wide roads, farmland, channels, and water diversion. The eastern barren was more suitable for the growth of crops than the northern land. In the future, the eastern barren would be the largest granary of the Xia Dynasty.
The gods of the eastern barren territory had already made their decision. Although Lin Xuan knew about it, he was not in a hurry and continued to head towards the covenant of gods slowly. Finally, all the villages, towns, and small cities outside the covenant of gods were swept clean by Lin Xuan and his men. There were no humans left, and only the covenant of gods still had people.
