From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 144: Deceiving
"Your Majesty, we succeeded!" Alvin's voice was filled with immense joy, a joy that was palpable, steady and delighted. "We have succeeded in making him believe in the existence of this world. A special will from the gods has proven this!"

Bai Yang nodded, but there wasn't much joy on his face. "We'll discuss the use of this power of will later. Let's continue with our plan and not give up halfway!"

He was still creating a special "environment" for Lova, and every second that was released was "divine power." How could he not feel heartache?

“We cannot be satisfied with just a little bit of belief. We must make him part of our plan, an actor in our story, not a threat!”

His hands moved more steadily, and more divine power poured out!

Now that the first step has been successful, the second and third steps will naturally follow!

……

Inside the enormous and majestic temple, thunder roared and stars exploded. It was a true waterfall of divine power, consuming enough divine power every second to make even a god of medium strength feel heartache!
Inside the temple, the demigod named Lova is telling the story of his world.

Those were the gods of the "Dylan Continent," which Bai Yang was extremely familiar with, and also the things the other party had described most clearly.

"In our world, the gods are constantly fighting and vying for power. This is my world, and this is where I came from!" Lova said.

His experience told him that it was foolish and short-sighted to conceal himself in front of a group of powerful gods, so he simply told them everything.

Upon hearing these words, the "God-King" at the highest point slowly raised his head. "Hmm... a pantheon that hasn't truly been unified yet? Interesting..."

"Heimdall!" The voice of the God-King rang out, causing the deity who had only spoken moments before to peek out. "Is there any hope for us to get involved?"

"No, Your Majesty!" Another deity exuding divine power appeared, terrifying Lova. This was yet another powerful deity. Did this pantheon already have three powerful deities? What a terrifying power this was!

He quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at the other person's true form. The sight of that divine power spreading made him feel as if he would be crushed to death by the person in front of him if he looked up!

"Our gods are scattered throughout the nine realms. The world war is not yet over, and we cannot spare the resources to govern the faith of this world!"

Heimdall's reply was very earnest: "You need to consider the reality after the War of the Worlds. We still have many worlds to conquer; this world is not necessary!"

"We don't lack believers. It's pointless to compete with a group of indigenous gods for faith!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a ripple arose around them, as if another group of gods were nodding in agreement. Such ripples proved that they possessed powerful divine strength!

This fluctuation left Lova bewildered. When did powerful divine power become so commonplace? Could it be that gods other than those with powerful divine power couldn't enter this palace?

No wonder they can call themselves "native gods." The density and strength of such gods are terrifying. If they go to the Dylan Continent, they will definitely be the first-class power that crushes the Radiant Sect!

"In that case, this otherworldly god is yours to deal with!" Upon hearing this, the God King suddenly lost interest, waved his hand, and knocked Lova directly out of the huge temple.

Lova was kicked out of the building without any ability to resist. During the flight, he saw the vastness and immensity of the world, as well as the exaggerated waste of divine power!
"I'm afraid only a pantheon of so many powerful gods and deities would dare to create such a divine kingdom!" He felt no anger at being kicked out, only amazement at this world.

The divine power that was slipping away every second made him yearn for this world even more.

What happened next shattered Lova's worldview!
Because after he flew out of that palace and continent, what he saw was not a new continent or a new world, but an almost endless, boundless, vast and boundless starry sky!

The vastness and grandeur of the starry sky left the young demigod almost speechless.

He stared blankly at everything before him, feeling it was all unreal. He couldn't unleash his divine power, but his senses wouldn't lie. Every "point of light" in the starry sky was a world he couldn't even imagine!

"What's so interesting about the starry sky? Snap out of it!" Just then, a voice came from Lova's ear.

Their divine power allows them to communicate effectively even though they don't speak the language of this world.

Lova finally snapped out of his daze and said in surprise, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm just surprised by the differences in your world... Please forgive my offense, I'm not familiar with many of your customs..."

Upon hearing this, the newcomer smiled slightly, showing no remorse for his offense. "No need to be so tense. I am not a god of war, king of the dead, god of power, god of magic, or god-king like my father. I am merely a guardian, a gatekeeper of the divine realm!" "You can call me Heimdall!"

These words sent shivers down Lova's spine. To have a powerful god guard the gate? How terrifying was that!

Although the man before him did not unleash his immense power, Lova recognized him at a glance and showed him even greater respect.

He lowered his head and asked, "Your Majesty, what is your treatment of me?"

Heimdall said nonchalantly, "Of course it's up to you! If you want to join Asgard, we will cleanse your godhood and let you join us as a warrior, and one day in the future, become one of the gods of Asgard!"

"If you are unwilling to join us, Odin, the king of the gods, will banish you from the realm of the gods and cast you into the starry sky!"

Lova was even more taken aback. "You call this boundless area the starry sky? But... these stars are all worlds!"

"In your world, do you call planets 'worlds'?" Heimdall asked with a smile. "Then what is your starry sky?"

"It's just an embellishment of the night, operated by the Goddess of Night..." Lova said with great surprise, "It's just an embellishment. We don't have as many worlds as you, we only have one world."

Heimdall exclaimed in surprise, "I heard the King of Gods say that you are an indigenous world, but I thought it was a joke. I didn't expect it to be true..."

Upon hearing this, Lova felt like a native, while the deity before him was a true "Celestial Empire"!
This fact that this kingdom was even willing to accept him surprised Lova even more. "What you mean by 'a member of the gods' is..."

"Of course, it's bestowed by the God-King, granting you your own divine office, divine authority, and territory, making you a god of our race!" Heimdall looked at him in surprise, "Haven't you experienced it?"

“No…” Lova shook his head regretfully. “I became a demigod on my own, and then barely became a subordinate of the God of Ice and Snow, and then worked for the God of Ice and Snow in exchange for believers and divine power.”

"You have the ability to become a god yourself, yet you can only be a subordinate?" Heimdall expressed his incomprehension. "In our pantheon, we should all have our own base, our own temples, and our own priests... Is your pantheon really legitimate?"

These words nearly broke Lova's composure, but he still tried to salvage his reputation, saying, "Fortunately, I still managed to get a few hundred followers..."

These words made the strange look in Heimdall's eyes disappear, replaced by deep pity.

With a look that seemed to ask, "Have you never eaten well before?", he showed Lova the city before him and the people in it.

"This is the third largest city in the country. If you were a subordinate deity, your statue would be enshrined in the city's temple! Moreover, Odin would order that you would have one-third of the city's followers..."

Hearing this, Lova completely broke down. He looked at Heimdall dejectedly, "Then... can I join you? A smaller city would be fine, not as big as this..."

Heimdall's actions completely fooled Lova!
He was surprised to discover that he and the gods of the Dylan Continent were truly frogs in a well, who had thought that continent, time, space, and dimensional boundaries were already an endless world.

He never imagined that there were so many universes, so many gods, and such powerful beings outside his own world.

And this pantheon looks so legitimate!

He originally thought that being a formally appointed demigod was already quite good, and that he was considered a prominent figure in the Dylan Continent.

Unexpectedly, in this world, he wasn't even at the "lowest level," but rather a complete and utterly pathetic wretch!

He broke down. He didn't want to go back. He wanted to join this pantheon, even if it meant replacing his godhood!

……

At this moment, Bai Yang smiled and loosened his grip on the hand. Fortunately, he was a genius and managed to control this guy!

Lova, this demigod, is now in his grasp; everything is under his control!
