Devil's Bible

After exchanging a few words with the Sun God, most of the other powerful deities had already left.

Only the divine power of the sun god remained in place, enveloping the land of slumber.

Not many people know the secrets of the Land of Slumber.

Most people only know that this is a rare site where the phenomenon of source material regression occurs.

But they were unaware that a quagmire lay within it.

This is inevitable, because the quagmire, like mud stains, possesses the characteristic of 'anti-fate exploration'.

Without personally venturing into the inner realm, even the most powerful divine abilities cannot discern what lies within.

Their exploration abilities were insufficient to penetrate the pit; they even considered it merely a somewhat unusual earthen pit.

When the nature of things is uncertain, the gods' ability to act is limited.

but……

At this moment, the Sun God's divine power was undergoing a transformation, causing his attention to be somewhat diverted from this place.

To become a powerful deity, almost everyone has eight hundred schemes in their mind.

They were unwilling to unite and force a conflict with the sun god, but that did not mean they had truly given up on the matter.

The Sun God was certain that these people had probably left behind some hidden agents and were observing this place in some special way.

Once they focus their attention on this place for an extended period, they will inevitably intensify their observation of it.

This will only cause more problems.

The attitude He should be showing now is that there is something of value here, but not of very high value.

He could fight back against those people's observations and probing, but he couldn't use his power beyond his limits.

Otherwise, the interests would not align.

Given their powerful understanding of each other, if one of them uses too much power, the other will immediately press forward, probing the other's moves and then quickly escalating the situation.

At that time, the true state of the sleeping land will be exposed even more severely.

In the current situation, He can only act secretly. Only by eliminating all the people inside the Sleeping Land can He use other methods to cover up the core of the Sleeping Land, and then disguise it by placing something of sufficient value but not particularly important inside.

That way, we can completely hide from these people's investigation.

Of course now...

"This is troublesome." The sun god lowered his gaze and glanced at the interior of the slumbering land.

Inside, there are still about nine thousand people.

In this situation, a direct attack is clearly not an option.

“Low-scale divine power, low attention… Nemus’s abilities might find a loophole.” The Sun God never underestimated Nemus, because that would be underestimating himself.

He and Nemes started from the same point; only their starting points were moved.

But in essence, they are similar.

Boldness is an essential trait.

In the current world, the identity of an outsider like Nemus is the biggest opportunity.

When the wind is blowing in your favor, boldness will surely allow you to soar.

After transmigrating, Nems's true nature remained bold.

With this inherent quality, once one experiences setbacks, one will inevitably develop meticulousness and attention to detail.

Coupled with the powerful 'will' that his instincts might possess, Nemus is likely to succeed in this world and become a 'big shot'.

The fact that the opponent was able to accumulate power so quickly under these circumstances and then kill one of the Sun Saints already speaks volumes.

This process is very troublesome.

He needed to both resist the probing of other gods and, without using too much power, reduce the number of people in the Land of Slumber to a certain level before Nems discovered the flaw in his divine power.
-
Within the Land of Slumber. Nemus emerged from the edge of the mud pit, gazing at the Land of Slumber, which had grown to the size of a town, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

The current situation is actually quite normal.

Divine power enveloped the land of slumber, yet prohibited the flow of information.

Given this, it would be difficult for people in the land of slumber, who are all intelligent, to believe in the sun god.

The idea that the sun god, being a god, would not lie is entirely a figment of the imagination of the lower classes.

It's like the misconception that nobles must be noble, wealthy, and moral.

Identity does not equate to morality.

When there is enough benefit, it is perfectly normal for God to lie.

Those who choose to leave are not necessarily foolish; it's just that everyone's mindset is different.

Having endured so much confinement in the End of the World, it's perfectly normal for them to want to take a gamble.

However, those who remained cannot be said to be truly rational.

There are probably more people with ulterior motives here than you might imagine.

As expected, the first thing Thirteen did after seeing Nemus emerge was to establish an organization to manage this world belonging to Nemus.

The second matter directly addressed those who remained.

“I think quite a few of them might defect to the Sun God,” Thirteen said.

Nems nodded in agreement.

Thirteen chose to bet on himself, so someone else chose to bet on the sun god.

This is a perfectly normal thing.

Their previous fear of being killed by the sun god would be greatly reduced once they became one of the sun god's own.

There are definitely people like that.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the sun god has an absolute advantage.

Even if they struggled, it would be difficult for them to escape the encirclement of the sun god.

Therefore, there will be no shortage of people who want to surrender.

After a brief discussion, Nemes and Thirteen began preparations for the establishment of the fictitious church.

In any case, on the surface, Nemus has saved them all with the song "Unfinished Elegy".

Furthermore, the main authority over the music is still in Naim's hands, and given the previous contract they signed with Naim, Naim nominally has jurisdiction over everyone.

With the establishment of the fictional church here, Nemes has essentially completed the acquisition of ownership of the Sleeping Town.

Of course, this is because most of the people here have the skill to manipulate elements and then use those elements to create various things.

Therefore, there aren't that many issues in the town; it's enough to plan some areas and resolve some basic conflicts.

The main task then was to explore the land of slumber and figure out how to break through the divine power's protection and make contact with the outside world.

The fact that the Sun God controls the flow of information both inside and outside indicates that the information from the land of slumber is something He does not want the outside world to know.

If information channels can be opened, the situation in the Land of Slumber might change.

There are still quite a few people interested in this kind of thing.

There are so many people here, and so many experts.

The environmental resources, due to the elements brought about by the transformation of mud into natural resources, are also quite abundant.

If we put these resources together, we might actually discover something. (End of Chapter)
