All the gods turned their attention to the god-kings who held the most power in the pantheon. Strength represented power, and the ranking of the god thrones allowed the gods to intuitively understand their status in the pantheon.

There are only three thrones for the gods in the first row.

The first is naturally the 'World Tree Goddess' Buyer, the second is the 'Mother Goddess of Life' Tiamat, and the third is the 'Lord of the Underworld' Ereshkigal.

There are more thrones of gods in the second row.

'Sun God King' Quetzal, 'Time God King' Ishtar, 'Space God King' Asmod, 'Death God King' Ronava, 'Life God King' Nabelis, 'Water Dragon King' Navellet, 'Rock Dragon King' Jothu, 'Contract God King' Morax, 'Venus God King' Ishtar.

As the supreme aura descended, the gods fell silent and raised their heads to look at the 'throne' at the highest point directly opposite them.

Their Heavenly Lord has appeared on the throne.

【Lord Tenri】

The gods bowed slightly, offering their utmost respect and loyalty.

“Alright.” Los Saint nodded, his golden eyes looking down at all the gods, and finally glancing at Seno, who was at the very bottom and had not yet ascended to godhood, and Stheno, one of the three Gorgon goddesses who was trying to make herself as transparent as possible, and Euryale.

Even those on the ninth level can hear the bells of the 'Palace of Gods'.

Reaching the ninth rank and ascending to godhood is only a matter of time, but the timeframe is uncertain. Sino's rapid ascent to the ninth rank was largely due to luck, which is tantamount to forcing growth. It will take at least several thousand years before he can begin to 'deify' his mortal body.

The mortal body undergoes 'deification' in preparation for the 'incarnation rules'; the moment a mortal begins 'deification,' they will ascend to the divine throne.

At the ninth level, one possesses a 'divine core' and 'power', but the body is still a mortal body, not a divine body. At the sixth level of godhood, one refines the 'divine core', and ultimately the 'divine core', 'power', and 'body' merge into a unified body rule.

'Is this the way of Heaven? The supreme God above God.' Seno sat upright, looking up, holding his breath.

'You didn't see me, you didn't see me...' Stheno and Euryale muttered to themselves, heads bowed, hoping the gods would just ignore them.

Over the past few decades, they have come to understand the world very well, which has made their lives easier than ever before, but they are still unwilling to face these 'gods'.

Because they are too weak, very weak. Even gods do not have the power to fight. The eldest sister, Stheno, represents the charm of a mature woman, while Euryale represents a young girl.

Their actual combat strength may not even be as good as that of a seventh-tier superhuman.

“You did a great job while I was asleep,” Los Saint said with a smile.

Before I reward you, I will tell you the most important thing.

"While I was asleep, 'demonic civilizations' from other universes had already wiped out many alien civilizations in star systems outside our solar system."

"A massive interstellar fleet has already been formed and is preparing to attack the solar system."

"A demonic civilization? It wiped out many alien civilizations? And even formed an interstellar fleet that's coming to the solar system?" Ishtar exclaimed in shock, while involuntarily looking at Beelzebub, the demon king of hell.

The other gods couldn't help but look at Beelzebub as well.

“A demonic civilization, huh?” Wendy looked at Beelzebub with amusement.

Beelzebub immediately broke out in a sweat and stood up, saying...

"No, I want to clarify here that I have absolutely no connection with this 'demon civilization'."

"Pfft... Beelzebub, didn't you say that all demons are servants of your hell?" Ishtar stirred up trouble, as if afraid the world wasn't chaotic enough.

Beelzebub's lips twitched. He knew that the Venusian god king had a very unpredictable temper and would definitely say something surprising next.

“Hey, Beelzebub, I heard from your Lord of Hell that you’re planning to lower the bar for deceiving sinful humans and extend your reach to ordinary people who don’t deserve to die,” Ishtar chuckled wickedly.

Beelzebub's face changed drastically, cold sweat poured down his face, and his voice cracked with nervousness.

"Venus God King, I'm warning you, don't speak recklessly in front of Lord Tianli!"

"I'm suing you for defamation, you know that?"

"I'll sue you for defamation!"

Beelzebub looked around at the gods, then looked in horror at the throne of the gods.

"She's slandering me!"

"She's slandering me!!!"

Chapter 259: The Demon's Guidance, the Birth of the First Lord of Law and Reason

Just then, Beelzebub's communication magic activated.

[A letter from Lord Astton, Your Majesty the Demon King.]

Beelzebub's expression froze, and he was completely dumbfounded. What the hell? Why is he communicating at this time? This is the 'Council of Gods' right now, and he's still being teased by the Venusian God-King.

"What's going on, Beelzebub? Didn't you tell your men not to disturb us at this time?" Mydo asked in confusion. Although she wasn't very bright, she knew a lot of things after spending decades with her sister Bouyel.

Ishtar just wanted to bully Beelzebub because he was easy to bully. Ishtar had heard that she had been humiliated in the Underworld, so she wanted to take the opportunity to verbally attack the god of the Underworld.

"What is it? Answer the call quickly, it's not something you want to hide, is it?" Ishtar said with a smile.

She's not stupid. Everyone knows what she's saying is fake, let alone God like Los Saint. This kind of joke is within acceptable limits; it's just a harmless 'argument'.

“Beelzebub, I believe in you. Keep your spirits up, don’t lose points, well done,” Wendy replied with a smile.

As a seasoned veteran, I might even find this situation fascinating, which is what you call 'finding enjoyment in life,' isn't it?

It's normal for gods to argue with each other, and he often argues with people who criticize his poetry online.

The gods all looked at Beelzebub with a slight smile on their lips. They thought this little brother was quite good; they were still willing to help him if he really encountered trouble.

'Poor Demon King.' Euryale said telepathically to her elder sister Stheno beside her, 'The gods are all so terrifying.'

"Yes, thankfully we're sitting at the very back so we won't be noticed," Stheno nodded.

The gods of this world are far more powerful than the Olympian gods.

The three god-kings sitting in the front row were definitely more powerful than Chaos, the origin of Olympus, and even the weakest one in the second row was more powerful than Zeus.

"I wonder when the Council of the Gods will end. I really want to go back to Sicily," Euryale said weakly.

She wouldn't want to leave Sicily if it weren't for the 'Conference of the Gods' which required the gods' attendance.

She and her sister are now goddesses worshipped by the people of Sicily. They have done a lot for humanity, but because they were too weak, there wasn't much they could do, though their strength has increased a little.

Overall, however, the powerful gods were very friendly to them, unlike the weaker gods of Olympus who would be bullied if they didn't rely on a powerful god.

Beelzebub looked tremblingly at the throne of God, where their one and only God was watching him with interest, his cheek propped up by his hand. He swallowed hard.

"What are you dawdling for? Come on, let me help you." Ishtar waved her hand, and Beelzebub's communication magic was instantly activated.

As the 'Venus God-King', in some civilizations 'Venus' represents 'magic', so she is also the 'Goddess of Magic'. She has a portion of the power to define all 'magic' in this world, but she doesn't use this power much.

“Speak,” Beelzebub said expressionlessly.

[Your Majesty, we have largely completed the mission of guiding the easily corrupted sinners in Petersburg, Fontainebleau, Ceres. You...]

Before the person on the other end of the communication could finish speaking, Beelzebub's eyelids twitched wildly as he berated him.

"What do you mean, 'you'?!"

"How dare you guide ordinary people who don't deserve to die!"

"Huh? An ordinary person whose crime doesn't warrant death? Your Majesty, I..."

"What do you mean, 'me'?!"

"You have six minutes to come to the Demon King's Castle and turn yourself in!"

"Your Majesty, I..."

"What do you mean, 'I'? Don't even think about shirking your responsibilities, and don't even think about pretending to be human, boarding a spaceship to the moon, and then going to Mars, Saturn, Pluto to leave the solar system!"

"Don't let me see you!" Beelzebub said, becoming more and more agitated.

"If you let me see you, I'll kill you in a heartbeat!!!"

After Beelzebub finished his excitement, he immediately disconnected the communication spell.

After Beelzebub disconnected the communication spell, he realized that he had been too anxious. Strange eyes were fixed on him as he looked around.

The gods all looked at him with astonishment, and even the Lord of Heaven stroked his chin with his finger, as if scrutinizing his impulsive behavior.

"Gulp~" Beelzebub swallowed hard and quickly raised his hand to shout loudly.

"I am mortal with evil! Loyalty!!!"

"Okay!" Although Mydo didn't understand what Beelzebub meant before, she immediately clapped her hands when she heard this.

All the gods couldn't help but look at Maido. When Maido saw that she was the only one clapping, she gave an embarrassed laugh, lowered her head quietly, and playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Alright, alright, stop bullying Beelzebub." Los Saint waved his hand with a smile: "He's been working hard, it hasn't been easy for him."

"Lord of Heaven!" Beelzebub was so moved that he wanted to kneel down and kowtow immediately.

"Hurry up and advance to the level of a main god. Only by advancing to the level of a main god can you wield the 'plane authority' of the magma hell," said Luo Sheng.

The Seven Hells have long since become a major plane. The Seven Hells are the seven major planes. Only the 'Incarnation of Rules' is qualified to truly control a 'major plane' and then use the 'Power of the Plane'.

The power of a 'Great Plane' is no less than the 'Great Power of the God-King'.

If one becomes a 'Great Power God-King', then the power of great authority plus the power of the plane will be no weaker than that of a 'Medium Great Power God-King'.

Hell is considered his direct descendant, and possesses considerable power. However, mastering it requires a very high rank; otherwise, it's like a child holding a nuclear bomb—they'll kill themselves before they can even use it.

"Yes, Lord Tianli!" Beelzebub was on the verge of tears. Lord Tianli hadn't forgotten his Hell. He had always thought that Hell did the dirtiest work and was like a stepchild compared to the other factions.

The method of controlling 'dimensional authority' suddenly appeared in his mind, and while he was moved, his confidence soared.

He was right; other factions' gods all have authority like 'planetary sovereignty,' so it's impossible for Hell not to have it too.

Alas, he is still too weak and not qualified to approach them. Only when he reaches the level of a main god can he be able to look at the god-kings on equal footing to some extent.

“Ishtar.” Los Saint looked at Ishtar, who had already sat up straight and become a well-behaved child.

"Yes," Ishtar replied, feeling a little guilty. She had been a bit unreasonable just now, but she couldn't control herself.

“Alright, Tiamat, Ishtar needs to grow a bit, understand?” Los Saint looked at Tiamat.

“I understand… cough cough cough, I understand, Lord Tenri, I promise to make Ishtar…” Tiamat raised her hand excitedly, but was interrupted before she could finish.

“You, you should just give up. You’re like a child.” Los Saint waved his hand. “Let’s leave it to Buyer. Some gods need a little education, not in terms of personality.”

"Yes, I will educate Ishtar properly and help her become an even better god," Buyer said gently. The entire pantheon is now in a state of rapid development, and many gods are not yet mature enough. If this continues, they will fall behind when the civilization steps out of the solar system.

Besides Ishtar, Medo and the Gorgon sisters from Sicily are also gods who need education.

"Ugh..." Tiamat pouted, feeling underestimated again. Actually, she was very experienced in raising children.
