From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 400 Self Strategy
What can the will of the gods do?

In the beginning, Lova's will was even able to enable Bai Yang to establish Yggdrasil and create a special space somewhere on Earth, giving the Norse pantheon a true foundation.

Now, the Norse pantheon has certainly achieved sufficient development, and propagators of the "Asahi religion" have appeared throughout Northern Europe, and even throughout the Germanic region, the German states, and the former Viking lands.

Under this combination of divine and corresponding extraordinary powers, the Norse divine kingdom, which was originally just a small initial "anchor point," and its special World Tree, also grew little by little under the nourishment of the power of will.

The very origin of this growth is that extraordinary willpower.

Of course, the greater reason for the emergence of that extraordinary willpower was that the willpower at the divine level had been greatly enhanced under the blessing of the world's will, thus giving it such ability.

This ability is unmatched even by the will of a powerful deity.

A single strand of willpower won't work, so why not use more? Bai Yang had already set his sights on this powerful deity. "I think they'll be back soon!"

"We can't be there in person, but we can still use other methods to let them know about the changes in the world, about these pantheons that span all realms, about the arrangements these pantheons have made here, and even get a glimpse of the deeper level of the war between the gods!"

Bai Yang said, gazing at the seemingly calm ocean and noticing the special altar on the seabed, "Then let's use this original performance venue to put on an even more profound performance and give them a shock befitting a high-level pantheon!"

Alvin bowed his head. "Of course, this is your creation, Your Majesty!"

……

Meanwhile, on the distant continent of Dylan in an unknown space, Griffith, the god of justice, was listening to the explanation of his old friend, Garfield, the god of bards.

"A pope who can wield the power of creation? Are you kidding me?" Griffiths said. "The power of creation? Let alone me, even powerful gods like the Lord of Light, the God of War, or the Ancient Gods of the Elements, whose divine level has reached the limit of level 20, have only had contact with it, not used it!"

"If he truly possesses this power, then is his supreme god a god above gods, or a being of great divine power?"

In the continent of Dylan, there has always been a legend that powerful divine power is not the final form of gods. Above that, there is a terrifying being called the "God Above Gods," who, as the creator of the world, reigns supreme over all people.

Besides true creators like gods, a powerful deity who was completely annihilated in the river of time also left behind a special last message: "I saw... I saw that above power, there is greatness!"

After he finished speaking, he was annihilated along with his divine status, but the legend continued to circulate among the highest levels of the divine information flow on the continent of Dylan. Both of them were powerful gods and of course knew about it.

Upon hearing Griffiths' words, Garfield became anxious and exclaimed, "I don't believe it either, but I have evidence!"

As he spoke, he showed the scene of Mario displaying his abilities and battling the false god Kuchamama.

When Griffiths saw the power that created something from nothing, he was utterly astonished. "How is this possible? Something from nothing... Is this really the authority of the Creator? The 'God' he speaks of is the Creator?"

“I don’t know…” Garfield shook his head. “This is a scene from another world. I only know some information about it, but I can confirm that the information here is not false!”

As he spoke, he told his old friend some stories about that world: "I followed the God of Thieves to that special rift, but as his divine fire and divinity were completely extinguished, I did not rashly choose to go directly there!"

"That rift is the one we know, the rift that leads to the outside world. But as you also know, powerful divine forces passed through the rifts that appeared on the continent of Dylan, but no other information came back!"

"Therefore, I dispatched my men from God Hal to that world, and they eventually obtained information from there..."

"In that world, there are also gods, but they are not like us, gods who uphold a divine kingdom and reign supreme over the world. They are just gods who existed in legends. They did not even establish their own world in that world, but simply spread their faith!"

Hearing this, Griffiths was surprised. "So extravagant? A world with believers, yet they're unwilling to establish a nation to collect faith?" "I initially thought the same as you, until I learned about the origins of these gods!" Garfield said. "According to the information Hal gathered, these gods aren't the original deities of that world, but rather come from the so-called World Sea!"

"They have their own world, which is in the ocean of the world, and this world that is connected to us is a world in which they spread their faith!"

"For these gods, a world with endless believers is merely a tool for spreading their religion..."

Hearing this, even the God of Justice was utterly shocked. "What do you mean, 'merely for missionary work'? Are they uninterested in anything else in this world? Is this world small? Is it resource-scarce? Is it sparsely populated?"

Garfield shook his head. "No, that's not it. It's a world no less than the continent of Dylan, perhaps even more populated, without gods, and with far more abundant resources! I feel they might just be looking down on it..."

The only explanation this bard's deity could think of was, "Each of their pantheons is capable of traversing the World Sea, which is why they possess this ability—perhaps, like our plane, they are a group of gods capable of controlling numerous worlds..."

Griffiths grasped the key point: "Does 'each pantheon' mean there are differences between them?"

"Of course, they don't belong to the same world, but to different worlds. Each pantheon is a complete system of gods..." Garfield sighed. "I even wonder if there is one or more creators, great divine powers, or supreme gods behind them? Otherwise, how can they roam the ocean of this world?"

As gods trapped within the world, they felt nothing but envy, jealousy, and resentment towards their colleagues who could travel freely.

Furthermore, they possess immense divine power and have even more thoughts on their minds.

Griffiths was saying, "So... does this existence know about our world?"

Thinking of this, the two looked at each other at the same time, their eyes filled with astonishment and fear—as powerful gods, they had not felt this kind of fear for many years.

That's incredible divine power! It's an existence on par with the highest god. Although they've never seen the highest god, they still know the legends about him.

In the more ancient times of the continent of Dylan, the legendary supreme god would occasionally come out to walk around, and some of the gods would go to people's homes to steal things.

Later, the item was stolen, but the highest god also found out. This creator was angry and cast the gods down to the continent of Dylan, causing their divine kingdoms to crash and all their abilities to be sealed away, turning them into legendary powerhouses who had lost their divinity!
It was a divine catastrophe that seems terrifying even now. More than a thousand gods were replaced by five hundred, and new, powerful gods were born. The ancient gods were hunted down by extraordinary beings for the divine essence that existed within their bodies.

This disaster, known as the "Catastrophe of the Fall of Gods," made all the gods aware of the terrifying nature of the highest gods!
And now, in the world they know, each of those pantheons has a being similar to a supreme god behind it. How terrifying is that?

Garfield shook his head. "Let's not scare ourselves. God above all gods are creators, how could they be everywhere?"

"But you're right. I'll have Hal be extra careful when he goes, so he doesn't leave any trace and doesn't affect anyone. We'll just watch, that should be fine, right?"

He said he shouldn't scare himself, but he still chose the safest method without hesitation.

"If it's true, what should we do?" asked Griffith, the god of justice. "Stay away, and never contact them again?"

The god of bards, being romantic at heart, murmured, "Why stay away? Make contact! Negotiate! What if we could find a way to connect our world to the World Sea?"

"We've been trapped by this world for too long. Why let this opportunity slip by?"

Before Bai Yang could even perform, the two powerful gods had already won him over.

"Wow, two more wishes have been granted. Is this some kind of good thing?"
