From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 345 The First Encounter with the God of Deception

"Your Majesty, if this rate of growth were on the continent of Dylan, you would become an enemy of the gods in an instant!" Alvin's voice came, making Bai Yang smile slightly.

“We are now enemies of the gods, but the gods don’t know it. I don’t intend to let them know either. When they finally come to this world, their enemy will no longer be me.”

"Our gods will have a very special battle with them!"

Bai Yang calmly said, "It seems that the god outside the rift has recently lost the desire to explore..."

He was actually somewhat disappointed. The gods of the Dylan Continent lacked a spirit of exploration. So how could he possibly profit from them?
“For powerful gods, exploring the outside world is not necessary. Besides, they have too much time. The long period of time makes them lack basic sensitivity to time. For such beings, a single thought process may take more than one or two hundred years!” Alvin explained.

“Isn’t this the world’s self-protection mechanism?” Bai Yang suddenly said, a statement that piqued Alvin’s curiosity. “Self-protection mechanism? What do you mean?”

Bai Yang explained with a smile, "This is a principle that I slowly came to understand after I reached a position above the gods, which is the explanation of the world hierarchy and the behavior of these gods."

"The incredible things about the continent of Dylan are too many to count, so many that one wonders how this small world could possibly support such a massive pantheon of gods!"

"But with your explanation, I do have some thoughts..."

Bai Yang continued, "No matter how much the continent of Dylan kills and annexes each other, are the number of gods roughly the same? Or is the combined number of high-ranking gods and low-ranking gods roughly the same?"

Hearing this, Alvin thought about it carefully, "If you put it that way... it seems to be true? After the fall of the goddess of magic, Sylvia, many lower-ranking gods did appear, but after the Holy War, the gods fell, and a new goddess of magic appeared..."

"Are you saying that this is actually a global problem?"

Bai Yang nodded, "Of course, there is an upper limit to the energy that a world can bear. This upper limit must be a special threshold, and the gods are the valve of this threshold. Their number is the barometer of the world!"

"And can't the long periods of contemplation and slumber of powerful gods be seen as adjustments to the world? Did these gods choose to slumber?"

Bai Yang's words made Alvin think deeply.

You don't know until you think about it, and it's really shocking. Is this kind of inefficient behavior, this special "divine effect," really what the gods want?
Or is it that the "world" is forcing them to do this?
Bai Yang continued, "Resources are scarce on the Dylan Continent, so they have no choice but to do this. They can only prevent powerful divine forces from appearing frequently and instead delegate the task of their appearance to their followers or lower-level deities!"

He smiled and said, "Isn't this exactly the work we're doing? The resources and faith required by the Lord God are too vast for us to meet, so we can only focus our attention on believers."

Alvin smiled. "So in this world, we are no different from the creators of the Dylan Continent—Your Majesty, this is the correctness of your path!"

Bai Yang waved his hand, "Alright, stop flattering me. Go prepare for the villains on this continent! The Holy See and Heaven don't need to worry about Hell, but we do!"

“Now that you have created a true hell and ascended from the god of lies to the god of trickery, why not try letting go again?” Alvin asked. “This kingdom has no shortage of believers in hell. The demons should be able to do it, right?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yang understood. He smiled and looked at Alvin, "You mean, let us step away from the card table and let these great demons officially join the game?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, that is what you need to do. What we need to control is the potential harm they may cause, and their specific actions are no longer the focus of our consideration. Haven't you been working towards this goal all along? For example, the hellish ritual you instigated worldwide?"

Alvin's words made Bai Yang nod in agreement. "Yes, only by getting them to take action can the extraordinary truly take root in this country. If you put it that way, I think we don't need to consider the issue of the Great Demon for the time being!" "Human nature will allow demons to exist in this country forever, whether they are demons, werewolves, or vampires. It will always be the same situation—and the existence of the Holy See is precisely a symbol that prevents this crisis from getting out of control."

Bai Yang immediately knew what he wanted: human desires would make anyone in distress or despair try the power of hell. They would surely stand out in this country and then be eliminated by the Church.

It sounds like a simple story of good triumphing over evil and the Vatican remaining powerful, but in essence, isn't it also a perfect propaganda for the power of hell?
Because of the existence of social media and the internet, countless people will know what kind of role the "devil believer" who was suppressed by the Vatican was in essence, and then naturally some people will take the initiative to play that role.

Yes, becoming a follower of the devil will send you to hell, make you a target of the Church, and make you an unacceptable being in the human world—but so what?

Those who embark on this path are either impoverished people driven to despair, ambitious individuals hoping to gain power, or certain tycoons...

No matter what, they will definitely be the kind of people who will not regret it. They will promote the power of hell, and they will also indirectly promote the power of the Holy See.

In fact, knowing that ordinary people have this way out might make their future better—capitalists aren't stupid either. Once they discover that the ordinary people they killed at will have the power to send them to their deaths, they will definitely restrain themselves!

Of course, if you say that capitalists can also choose to degenerate and become demons, then it depends on whether they degenerate faster or the Vatican's knife is faster.

Moreover, even if they do complete the transformation, manage their subordinates, and repel the demonic invasion, they still have a final safeguard.

If the Vatican discovers something through its search for demonic power, would those fanatical believers who now take the Bible as their basic code really just let those evildoers go unpunished?
Jesus said that it is sinful to watch people do evil and not stop them!
Alvin, of course, could have guessed this as well. He said in surprise, "Your Majesty, you still care about those ordinary people..."

“Ordinary people are the foundation of emperors and gods, how could we not think about them?” Bai Yang said with a smile. “Only when they live well and are willing to have children can we gain more faith, right?”

"Besides, America's capitalists are really a bit too inhumane; I need to fix them up!"

As a great man once said, "A single spark can start a prairie fire!"

This is Bai Yang's open plan, and many people have already thought of it, because it is something that is very easy to predict, but no one can stop it because it is effective enough.

The criteria for selecting demons are simple: as long as you offer your soul and sacrifice everything, you can obtain the power you desire.

As for what you want to do with these powers, nobody cares, because you will eventually fall because of them.

If someone could truly resist the erosion of such a power? Well, sorry, such a person would never be able to gain power; he should have been invited by the Holy See to become a saint long ago.

"This is also a trick, Alvin!" Bai Yang said with a chuckle. "Who says a trick has to be full of conspiracies? A plan made openly and honestly is still a trick!"

"I will use this kind of trickery to continue telling my extraordinary story to the whole world..."

Bai Yang snapped his fingers, and in that snap, the whole world seemed to tremble slightly, yet it also seemed to remain unchanged.

But in any case, the first encounter with the "God of Deception" has begun!
P.S.: Oh no, I shouldn't have eaten both hot and cold food, now I have diarrhea that's making me stupid... Waaah!
