From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 406 The Otherworld Poverty Alleviation Plan

"Study abroad?" Upon hearing this suggestion, the two powerful deities were indeed intrigued!

They were already full of curiosity about the world next door, and also incredibly curious about how it operated and its global structure.

However, due to the pressure of the world's crystal wall system, they cannot go there in person; even if they go in their consciousness, they will be subjected to considerable pressure.

Under such circumstances, if they wanted to know information about that world, they could only send gods to explore it little by little, cautiously.

But the risks of this kind of exploration are very high, after all, they also know that there is a creator in the other's world!

But now, with Loki's proposal, they have a public reason to go and explore that world!
This is certainly a good thing, and most importantly, everyone who went there can receive a "scholarship"—is there really such a good thing?

Looking at their eager subordinates around them, they knew what the consequences would be if they refused.

However, it's still necessary to clarify this question: "If our gods go to your world, can they really return? Return unscathed?"

Griffiths asked very cautiously, "This is the crucial question. The most terrifying thing would be if they sent their own gods away for these resources and they never came back."

This would be a case of picking up a sesame seed but losing a watermelon; they would never do such a thing.

“You can just send avatars like I did, wouldn’t that be enough?” Lova said confidently. “Besides, our pantheon only needs your knowledge. As for other things… ha, with enough resources, gods are nothing more than a collection of resources!”

In the stories Lova knew, that was indeed the case.

Because the Aesir are essentially giants, and in their legends, not every giant can be called a god; only the best among the giants can join the ranks of the Aesir!

But to the people of the Dylan Continent, these giants were nothing less than gods. They had no god's name, but they had god's power. They had no authority, but their power was no less!

Moreover, Lova also knew that these giants, if they wanted to, could go to some worlds ruled by the Aesir, obtain a divine position, and join the World Tree's great organization; it was just a matter of whether they wanted to or not.

This endless resources, and the ability to choose one's own path, whether or not to become a god, made Lova deeply aware of the gap between the Dylan Continent and his own pantheon. Naturally, he spoke with immense confidence!

Upon hearing Lova's words about being able to split himself and go there, the eyes of the many gods before them lit up immediately!
If you go in person, you worry about wasting your time and never returning; but if you only go in a fake body, who wouldn't want to go? You can get a "scholarship" just by going—is there really such a good thing?

“However—” Lova gasped, causing everyone present to turn around and look at him in astonishment, “not every god has the opportunity to go to the Aesir. His Holiness Loki only needs three slots. Perhaps there will be an increase in the future, but for now there are only three!”

Upon hearing these words, a light immediately shone in the eyes of all the gods!
They also began to look around at their other colleagues, a hint of wariness flashing across their faces. These were their competitors!
After all, there won't be any problems if I go in a clone. And if there really is a scholarship, wouldn't that be a huge win?

They have to go, and their colleagues, of course, would be better off not going.

This is also a strategy. If everyone could go, no one would cherish it. But if they fight hard for it, then it's a different story!

Sunk costs are something that, once invested, are not so easy to recover. Even gods have emotions, and emotions can be manipulated. This is the greatest open conspiracy!

Lova clearly knew this as well. In order to further amplify this emotion, he simply waved his hand, and the huge meteorite next to him, which was so large that it resembled a peninsula, was easily split into three pieces.

He didn't divide it randomly; rather, he divided it into three pieces according to the maximum material foundation required by the weak divine power and divine kingdom!

This meteorite is enough to tempt even a powerful god, and the amount of resources on it is certainly enormous. But these three pieces are enough to tempt even a god of medium power!

"This is the scholarship His Majesty Loki paid in advance. If you return successfully, you'll receive an equal one!" Lova, of course, didn't care for these resources. If he wanted, he could apply to the Pantheon, and Heimdall could send him a planet similar to Earth. However, he didn't want it, nor was it necessary. After all, he wouldn't be able to use it even if given one. Once he could use it, he could obtain it himself from the World Tree, so he wouldn't need it anymore!

But that's just him. The gods of the Dylan Continent still need it. The scarcity of resources here makes every god eager to seize such an opportunity!

"I still can't understand. Are these resources just for the sake of exchanging a little bit of knowledge?" Garfield said, somewhat shocked. "What is your supreme god thinking?"

Lova shook his head. "Actually, this is just a bet between two main gods—they value winning the bet more than these insignificant resources!"

He smiled and said to the gods before him, "Compared to so-called knowledge, if you can make them happy, it wouldn't be difficult for the two main gods to bestow upon you a substance that directly grants you powerful divine strength!"

These words caused an uproar among everyone present!

What they considered an invaluable resource was, in others' eyes, merely an add-on to a bet.

Just how powerful is this pantheon? Its power is utterly despair-inducing!

The two powerful gods thought even more deeply, because they knew that the other world had more than one powerful pantheon, but many, including a terrifying pantheon called "Christianity," and even a terrifying being with immense power bestowed upon him!
With so many powerful pantheons, great beings, and even their own multiverses, these pantheons certainly wouldn't look down on a poor place like theirs.

Even with such powerful divine strength, they've started to place themselves in a "poor place," which shows how effective their plan has been!

"Then, in principle, we can agree to your request!" In the end, the two powerful gods agreed to the plan, which can be considered as placing themselves in a superior position and accepting such a "study abroad" plan!
So, what follows is a special selection process, because the spots involve resources that would drive ordinary gods crazy, and many people are working hard to get them!

After witnessing this scene, Lova, who was not yet ready to return, suddenly realized that this might also be a great opportunity!

After all, he still remembered his conversation with Loki before he came here:

"Loki, you seem quite interested in our world!" Lova asked curiously, a question that had come to mind as he was telling Loki about his world.

Loki chuckled, "A completely closed world, a world with scarce resources but many gods, and legends of a creator—of course I have to investigate!"

"Because, the resources that are readily available in our world are hard currency that can be circulated freely in this world. Don't you find that interesting?"

Lova also knew Loki's personality. He was a cynical person who didn't care about destroying the world at all. Most of the time, he just wanted to have fun!

But if you think his behavior is just for fun, you're wrong. A god of fun can't become the chief god of the Aesir—especially since he is a frost giant.

The Aesir gods looked down on the Frost Giants mainly because these Frost Giants were even more warlike than themselves and completely disregarded other worlds, believers, and the environment.

Loki, however, is an anomaly among them. He is deep in thought, powerful, and most importantly, his ideas are incredibly unique and magical!
“Everything we do poses no threat to them whatsoever. On the contrary, everything we do is reasonable and compliant!” Loki said. “In other words, we are helping the world alleviate poverty!”

“But…” the evil god’s smile was incredibly mischievous, “After the poverty alleviation campaign ends, whether those gods side with this world or with us is no longer our concern, is it?”

"The Aesir are a beacon, a powerful alien divine kingdom, and their dream homeland. Isn't that a good thing?"

Lova remembers feeling a chill run down his spine when he first heard those words.

Fortunately, he was also an Aesir god, so it's alright!
