Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 169: Considerations for the Placement of Believers
It takes time to fully form the Chain of Destiny.

During this period, Chen Li did not stay in the place of origin, but returned to the real Blue Star.

Once the Holy War begins, there will rarely be any ups and downs. It will basically be smooth sailing, but the speed of the advance will vary.

Therefore, Chen Li does not need to stay in the place of origin all the time to prevent any unexpected situations from happening.

This time he returned to Blue Star for an important matter: the resettlement of all believers.

After becoming a true god, Chen Li will leave the place of origin.

At that time, his believers will have only two futures: either follow their gods and leave the place of origin, or stay in the place of origin.

Then, under the influence of the rules of the place of origin, they gradually lost their own faith.

If given a choice, no Blue Star god would leave any of their believers in the place of origin.

Every believer not only has real benefits for the Blue Star gods, but also has deep feelings for them.

Leaving them at the place of origin would be an emotional blow to both the believers and the Blue Star gods themselves.

But the reality is cruel. Every Blue Star god rules over at least one or two complete planes when leaving the place of origin.

There are billions of believers living there, and ordinary Blue Star gods simply do not have the ability to bring them out.

After all, in this regard, the place of origin also has a clear price tag.

Any believer, regardless of race and strength, when the gods of Blue Star must leave the place of origin, the price of bringing them from the place of origin to Blue Star is a crystallization of faith.

Billions of faith crystals, not taking into account fixed assets, are enough to bankrupt most of the demigods on Blue Star.

What's more, bringing them out is only the first step, and how to place them afterwards is the top priority.

It is impossible to stay on Blue Star, except for the Blue Star gods' clan living in the kingdom of the true God.

Every individual who is not a citizen of Blue Star needs to pay a high fee to stay and live on Blue Star, and this money naturally needs to be paid by the Blue Star gods corresponding to those individuals.

The Blue Star God, who is capable of allowing billions of believers to live on the Blue Star, has assets that are more than enough to buy a large plane.

Therefore, when most of the Blue Star gods leave their place of origin, they can only take some of their believers with them.

If one wants to take all of his believers away, he must either have a strong background and be able to directly purchase a complete plane in the endless void for his believers to live there.

Or they are so powerful that they can become true gods in the place of origin, then naturally they don’t need to worry about the placement of believers.

After all, with the power of a true god, it is very easy to take over some complete planes in the endless void to accommodate his believers.

With a profound background and strong strength, Chen Li naturally does not need to worry about the placement of his believers.

However, he will be leaving the place of origin soon, so it is necessary to make some preparations in advance.

After saying hello to his family, Chen Li came to the teleportation platform in Licheng and was directly teleported to the Divine Court.

As the center of the entire divine system, ordinary cities do not actually have the authority to teleport directly to the divine court.

However, Licheng is the foundation of Chen Li's future. Although the various infrastructures are still relatively simple, some of the permissions are ridiculously high.

It is enough to be compared with some large cities built by higher true gods.

"Name, city you're from, purpose of coming to the Divine Court, and what areas and activities you plan to attend."

“Fill it out yourself and then apply.”

I just teleported to the Divine Palace and haven’t had time to use the teleportation platform inside the Divine Palace.

An application form was handed to Chen Li by the staff at the transmission station.

Before Chen Kai could speak, a vast divine power descended.

A middle-aged man with a gentle expression came in front of Chen Li and bowed slightly.

"Your Highness, welcome back to the Divine Court."

The staff member nearby changed his expression.

In the entire pantheon, only the Lord of the pantheon and the direct descendants of several other powerful gods are qualified to be called His Highness.

Being respected so highly as the leader of the true God, he must be the most honorable among all the princes.

Thinking of this, the staff couldn't help but look bitter.

If a prince of extremely noble status wanted to make things difficult for him because of his cold attitude just now, he could be fired in minutes.

Although he has a certain background, his family had to work hard to find him a job that was both leisurely and well-paid through connections.

There is no need for citizens from ordinary families to go through at least hundreds of thousands of years of foreign wars before they can build a foundation and enjoy a retirement life.

Since he left the place of origin, he has never left Blue Star to participate in foreign wars.

But he still has the ability to purchase a complete plane for his believers to live in.

It depends on the generous salary of this job. Although it is not as good as those real geniuses, it is still better than the worst.

If I lose this hard-earned job, it will not be easy to find such a good job again.

Without paying attention to the staff's complicated inner thoughts, Chen Li just nodded casually.

"I have to attend the bidding meeting tomorrow, please help me."

"no problem."

The middle-aged true god did not hesitate at all and directly opened the corresponding teleportation platform for Chen Li.

After another round of teleportation, Chen Li also arrived at the area where the bidding conference was held.

As a project specifically designed to conduct external conquests in the endless void, the importance of the bidding conference in the entire pantheon is self-evident.

Only the Divine Court, the center of the divine system, is qualified to hold a bidding conference.

Once you enter the bidding venue, the first thing you need to do is register some basic information.

Although the entire bidding conference is a free auction, the prerequisite is that you have sufficient strength.

Otherwise, if you take a picture but can't take it down, it would be pure trouble.

The many factions within the pantheon fight for the right to conquer those areas, which not only represents huge interests, but also a responsibility.

If the corresponding area is photographed but cannot be taken down for a long time, it may exceed the time specified by the divine system.

Not only will they lose the corresponding right to fight, but they will also face punishment from the pantheon.

With Chen Li's current strength, he is actually not qualified to bid.

Even if he is sure that he can become a true God in a short period of time, as long as he has not become a true God, he will not be eligible to bid in his own name.

So he did not fill in his own name in the guarantor column, but filled in his parents' names.

After filling in some basic information, Chen Li looked around.

The entire internal venue of the bidding conference was filled with a large number of incarnations of true gods. Although they were not their real bodies, they still exuded vast divine power.

This is a bidding conference that determines the future direction of each major faction.

All the major factions attached great importance to this event, and most of their top leaders would gather their own avatars to participate. Seeing Chen Li's appearance, some of the True God avatars also smiled enthusiastically.

"Your Highness, you actually have time to attend this bidding conference."

"I heard that you started the Holy War in the Land of Origin. I thought you must be busy dealing with the Abyss and have no time to return to Blue Planet."

Faced with the enthusiastic greetings from many true gods, Chen Li smiled and nodded, responding one by one.

"The situation in the Holy War has stabilized, so I have time to return to Blue Star."

"My believers and I are about to leave the Land of Origin. The Kingdom of God alone cannot accommodate all of our believers, and we also need to make some preparations in the Endless Void in advance."

Even within the Divine Court, the interval between bidding conferences is at least a thousand years.

If you miss this time, you don’t know when the next bidding conference will be.

Even when he becomes a true god, he can no longer obtain the unconditional support of the gods.

If we don't have the right to fight at that time, we can only buy those ready-made planes to accommodate our believers, and the cost will be too high.

"What you said is..."

Many incarnations of true gods were very polite to Chen Li.

This is not only because of Chen Li's noble status, but also because of the powerful talent he has displayed.

It has only been a few thousand years since the divine realm was opened up, which is less than ten years on Blue Star. However, it is possible, or even inevitable, to become a true god.

This talent is extremely rare not only within the pantheon, but even in the entire Blue Star.

Time passed quickly and it was time for the official bidding.

The area being bid for this time is the fourth war zone of the southern war zone of the T09-3054 Crystal Wall System, which is the Crystal Wall System where Chen Li's parents had fought before.

The entire pantheon's external conquests can actually be divided into two parts.

Shenting and other cities.

During foreign wars, the areas where the enemy forces are the largest and the resources are the richest are basically under the responsibility of the Divine Court.

The remaining areas of scrap material will be bid by other cities.

Chen Li’s parents are the true gods belonging to the Divine Court.

After all, their family originally belonged to the direct line of the Divine Court.

People like Chen Li, who built their own city outside the Divine Court, are the outliers.

His parents' kingdom of God and the corresponding real-world area are both in the Divine Court.

The area where his parents had fought before also belonged to the central war zone of the T09-3054 Crystal Wall System.

The God King of the Crystal Wall System T09-3054 has been killed by Chen Li’s ancestor himself, and the central war zone has basically been taken over by the Divine Court.

The remaining war zones will be handed over to factions outside the Divine Court.

The Fourth Theater Command of the Southern Theater Command that is being bid for this time includes a total of 1 advanced theater command, 155 intermediate theater commands and 13455 primary theater commands.

Advanced war zones need to be presided over by a higher-level true god to be eligible to bid.

The intermediate war zone corresponds to the middle-level true god, and the primary war zone corresponds to the lower-level true god.

Therefore, even if he filled in his parents' names, Chen Li was only eligible to bid for those primary war zones.

However, with Chen Li's current strength, he is indeed not qualified to fight in those intermediate and advanced war zones.

Even if one becomes a true god, the huge gap in rank cannot be easily bridged by relying solely on talent and divine duties.

The entire bidding conference is divided into two parts.

The first step is to select your target battle zone.

If no one else competes with you, you only need to pay a basic price to obtain the right to conquer the target war zone.

However, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to be so smooth.

No matter which level of war zone, there is often a shortage of supply and it requires bidding to be won.

It is normal to bid around 10% of the total value of the corresponding war zone, but it usually does not exceed 15%.

Soon, Chen Li found a more suitable primary war zone.

During the bidding conference, corresponding basic intelligence will be provided for each war zone.

According to basic intelligence, in the primary war zone that Chen Li had his eyes on, there was only one indigenous god at the level of a lower true god.

Its internal territory is composed of 1 large plane, 26 medium planes, 457 small planes and a large number of demiplanes.

This is enough to accommodate Chen Li's believers.

Taking into account the indigenous people living there, as well as the believers of other members of the All Souls Alliance.

It only takes a little time to improve the internal ecological environment and increase the capacity of those planes.

The number of Chen Li's followers has always remained at around one trillion, and has not reached trillions or even more.

Trillions of believers have been able to ensure his rapid progress in the demigod stage and meet his many needs.

But for the true God, the number of believers no longer has much meaning.

Even if there were ten trillion or even one hundred trillion believers, Chen Li would not be able to improve his strength as quickly as he did in the demigod stage.

Blindly expanding the number of believers is actually detrimental to the stability of the Dawn Empire.

Moreover, there are too many believers, and it will be difficult to settle them when they leave the place of origin.

There is no difference between the natives of the Endless Void and the natives of the Land of Origin. They can both serve as Chen Li's believers and provide him with faith.

Therefore, Chen Li ruled hundreds of worlds in the Dawn Empire, and the number of believers exceeded one trillion.

They were no longer required to engage in continuous external wars, but instead focused on internal development.

After choosing the war zone, Chen Li did not prepare to bid for the second war zone.

Gaining the right to conquer a war zone does not mean that he can immediately move in. He must first deal with the forces represented by the indigenous gods within the war zone.

After he settles his believers, it will take some time for them to develop stably.

When the time is right, the next bidding conference will definitely be about to begin.

The other true gods did not compete with Chen Li for this primary battle zone.

After all, this was the war zone chosen by Chen Li to settle his believers, not a normal foreign war.

Therefore, the other true gods were willing to give Chen Li face and did not intend to compete with him for the right to fight.

In the end, Chen Li only spent 6 trillion faith crystals, equivalent to % of its total value, to obtain the right to conquer the target war zone.
