From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 367 The Formation of a Divine System, A Real-World Experiment
"The integration of willpower has increased?" Alvin clearly heard this as well, and turned around curiously. "Your Majesty, do you mean that the power of the South American gods has increased?"

“No, that’s not it!” Bai Yang shook his head. “The power of the South American gods was set by me, so it’s impossible for it to be increased easily. If it were, our lives would be difficult. There would be too many gods, and the density of their willpower would decrease.”

"Then what is this...?" Alvin asked, puzzled.

Bai Yang thought for a moment and explained, "Let me put it this way, you know that each pantheon has its own focus on the power of will, right? That is, each different pantheon emphasizes a different direction of the power of will!"

“Of course! On the continent of Dylan, the emphasis of willpower is completely different between lawful justice and chaotic evil!” Alvin nodded.

"Yes, in this world, different forces emphasize different aspects of what is called 'willpower.' For example, the Norse pantheon, born from the Vikings, places more emphasis on combat, sacrifice, and agriculture, while Buddhism emphasizes compassion and dedication, and Christianity emphasizes atonement..."

"The gods of South America, on the other hand, emphasize war, sacrifice, and agriculture. In their mythological system, these three gods often occupy a very important position. In fact, in a certain period of Mayan mythology, the corn gods were directly the chief gods!"

Bai Yang spoke slowly, which made Alvin realize something. "You mean, with the emergence of agriculture and the increase in the integration of willpower, the true anchor of the South American gods' faith has been established?"

“Yes!” A hint of excitement flashed in Bai Yang’s eyes. “I originally thought that even if we conquered Mexico, we would only gain superficial believers. After all, Christianity has been cultivating this land for far too long. It will take some time before we can truly obtain enough power to support a pantheon!”

"However, with the spread of the belief in agricultural deities, this power is actually rapidly solidifying!"

He had previously overlooked the strength and necessity of this agricultural attribute for an agricultural country.

While Christianity is indeed very powerful, its strength is built on the foundation of its own faith.

And now, what is the cornerstone of faith for farmers?
It is planting, it is agriculture, it is favorable weather, it is the germination of seeds!
In any country, this is the most basic wish of farmers, and it is also the special foundation upon which the gods of agriculture can truly develop!

Now, this foundation is reclaiming the faith of indigenous peoples who had long since drifted away from their own culture. Having gained security, they are vaguely sensing what their gods can actually offer them.

This level of integration means that the vast majority of farmers will truly become believers in these deities, rather than just bystanders.

In Bai Yang's hand, the gathered power of will spun rapidly, quickly solidifying into a nearly flawless corner of the world. "That's enough, it's more than enough. The core of this world is now perfectly complete!"

In the previous ritual, he successfully allowed the belief in the gods of the Americas to take root and flourish in this land, eventually surpassing ten million.

Now, this willpower allows him to complete the establishment of another pantheon!

"Your Majesty, what is the foundation of this pantheon? Is it the divine fire of Christianity, or the divine kingdom of the Norse gods?" Alvin asked curiously.

The remaining few extraordinary forces are still just small-scale operations. The only ones that truly possess divine attributes are still the two divine systems that Bai Yang initially established.

Of course, Buddhism also has this attribute, but Buddhism belongs to the more illusory so-called "flow" sect. They are themselves a virtual deity test conducted by Bai Yang, so let's not talk about them for now.

“None of those!” Bai Yang said with a smile. “This will be their own special system, called polytheism!”

He greatly admired this group of Native Americans. Even after he left, leaving only a little bit of illusory willpower and faith to support them, they did not fall apart or get intimidated by the infiltration of various forces. Instead, relying on Atlas's deterrence, they successfully completed a transformation of their own.

Through their faith, prayer, and sacrifice, they actually cultivated and transformed their extraordinary abilities, something Bai Yang greatly admired.

He has never been stingy with rewards for such a highly motivated group, and the composition of their pantheon is Bai Yang's reward to this group!

“This continent will become a battleground between the faiths of the American gods and the Christian faith in the future!” Bai Yang said.

Christianity remains the majority religion in South America, which is unavoidable. It's worth noting that Mexico's Christian membership is an astonishing 92%, even higher than America's. While the rise of indigenous communities may cause many to leave Christianity, the Catholic Church is not to be underestimated; they will certainly react and consolidate their base through various means.

This has nothing to do with kindness or malice, but rather the nature of the sect.

"Therefore, I will use Aztec mythology as the main axis and Mayan mythology as the branch to establish a completely new lineage belonging to American mythology!" Bai Yang raised his hand, and a hidden lineage slowly appeared in his hand and gradually solidified, completely transforming into a real and authentic world line.

"Through this thread, the three originally scattered pantheons can be connected and transformed into a special timeline, making this faith more concrete and allowing this pantheon to truly appear in this world!"

He waved his hand, and this special mythical river actually began to flow slowly beside them, gradually merging with the divine fire summoned by Bai Yang!
The divine fire of Christianity and the rivers of American mythology merged in his hands, creating a dazzling light. Then, under the power of the poplar tree, they slowly intertwined into a very special light, which appeared in this world.

Alvin stared at the scene in disbelief: "Is this... grafting the historical transformation model of Christianity onto the history of South America?"

"No, no, no, Alvin, you shouldn't think like that!" Bai Yang shook his head. "Look at it from a broader perspective. All the gods and pantheons in the world are traceable. Under such circumstances, all pantheons should have records of each other!"

"Only when these histories are corroborated will they appear more real, rather than false!"

"You must understand that although these pantheons are all fictitious, once this method of recording is established, the power of will will also make these pantheons real!"

With a wave of his hand, the two different concepts before him began to shine together as they intertwined—a light that influenced and altered history through his own willpower.

The Vatican's secret archives contain records of certain supernatural wars—this is the reason Jesus came here; they did indeed help the Spanish suppress the supernatural forces here.

And beneath Mexico City, beneath the buried city of Tenochtitlan, there are also detailed descriptions of this battle.

Bai Yang's idea is simple: these things will not be discovered now or even for a long time to come, but once they are discovered, the integration of willpower in this area will reach a new high!

This is a minor move, not particularly important; his real objective is still right in front of him.

Currently, the location of Populus is Proxima Centauri, which also has a more famous name: Alpha Centauri.

In literary and film works, this place is a place where talents emerge in large numbers because it is a three-star system, the location of the Trisolarans described in "The Three-Body Problem", the location of Pandora described in "Avatar", and the location of Cybertron in "Transformers".

However, Bai Yang could explain to them that there is actually no life here, only some planets and satellites, cold and lifeless, just like the entire universe.

"Let's think about it another way. Since the world needs matter, why don't we just build the virtual world on a real physical planet?" Bai Yang thought to himself, gazing at the physical planet in front of him.

The more he thought about it, the more promising it seemed. "Let's set this planet as a world from the American pantheon, and set the time and place as 500 years ago!"

Bai Yang chuckled to himself, "This will be a very interesting mythological experiment, and the purpose of the experiment is to let us see if making a phantom soul real can provide real and authentic willpower?"

With a wave of his hand, his willpower surged and divine power was generated. A group of souls that were originally liberated by "Jesus" were transformed by him into imperial people who survived the terrible fall of divine authority in 1521!
"In the Fifth Sun Age, Cortés conquered Tenochtitlan... However, a group of survivors from the Aztec Empire chose not to remain on their land, but instead sought the help of the gods and arrived on a strange continent..."

Bai Yang smiled and nodded gently as he looked at the group of bewildered people in front of him.

"If this experiment succeeds, perhaps these areas can also become the necessary places for me to build my pantheon!"

"And my world doesn't necessarily have to be confined to one planet!"
