199: Gods

To avoid being pushed into marriage, Lin Ye transferred himself to the Stellar River Level.

Humans now spend more effort in the Stellar River Level than in the universe, as the Stellar River Level has abundant resources and is suitable for human habitation.

The human population in the Stellar River Level has now exceeded 150 billion, occupying large territories of the Stellar River Level.

Lin Ye was visiting the Stellar River Level for the first time in a thousand years, and its development left him in awe.

Although rune technology is still not as widespread and convenient as modern technology, basic facilities like trains have been completed, greatly facilitating travel; large areas of land have been transformed into fertile fields, sustaining humanity; and there are many breeding farms, raising exotic beasts that are at least third or fourth-tier.

Lin Ye retracted his Star Eyes. Due to the rapid development, Silver and Gold-tier abilities no longer require ability users to hunt them; these farmed exotic beasts are sufficient.

The large number of liberated ability users either entered the rune innovation industry, or those without the ability to engrave runes went to assembly lines, and those who couldn't even do assembly line work were responsible for transportation; some joined exploration teams, continuing to expand human territory; and others devoted themselves wholeheartedly to cultivation. The developed productivity allowed everyone to meet their daily needs without excessive labor, and the remaining time was used to improve strength, which greatly elevated the overall level of humanity.

Many officials accompanied Lin Ye, guiding him and providing introductions. Although he had already surveyed it with his Star Eyes, Lin Ye still listened carefully to their explanations.

He found that he seemed to have nothing to do; everything was in perfect order.

The only area suitable for him to exert himself, the Orc War, had not yet reached that stage. The Orc Empire was plagued by internal conflicts, and Demons were naturally the arch-enemies of Angels, so the Demon God Cult was naturally their primary enemy.

Lin Ye felt he should understand this aspect.

"Which deity is proselytizing on Yi Lan Continent?" Lin Ye asked.

Angels' birth depends on the Reincarnation Pool.

Many creatures in the Stellar River Level are not born through reproduction and evolution. For example, Demons are generated from the demonic energy of the abyss, forming demon worms, which then evolve into higher-level Demons through continuous combat. Another example is Elves, whose birth depends on the Elf Ancient Tree. Even Dwarves and Giants are said to have been born from the corpses of legendary creatures, inheriting their bloodlines.

Angels are the same; they are born from the Reincarnation Pool, starting as two-winged Angels. As their strength increases, their wings gradually multiply, becoming twelve-winged Angels when they reach a Stellar River Level existence.

If they successfully ascend, meaning they reach the Dominator Level, then they become deities.

Every deity has their own authority and divine duties, which are the source of their power.

The reason Angels are so enthusiastic about the power of faith is that their species greatly needs this energy.

Faith is their food, crucial energy for their advancement, and fuel for their divine fire.

In Heaven, faith is the hardest currency; it can even be used to increase the spawning speed of the Reincarnation Pool and to cast divine spells.

Therefore, for their most beloved faith, Angels widely spread the glory of their deities.

"Reporting, Chief, Hunting Goddess Panir," an official said.

The titles of deities often represent their power and authority. This Hunting Goddess is clearly a deity related to hunting, so her ambition for expansion is relatively large.

If it were a God of Harvest or a God of Planting, you would hardly need to worry about their determination for War, unless you forced them to be unable to farm. When a simple person gets angry, blood splatters five steps away.

Authority is similar to laws. If there are two authorities, then it is a deity promoted through the Fusion of two laws, which is very powerful.

The Hunting Goddess only has one title, so her combat power should not be too strong.

"What is the Orc Empire doing recently?" Lin Ye continued to ask.

"The Orc Empire is still dealing with the Demon God Cult. Since the Orcs were most severely affected by the Demon Invasion, and their level of enlightenment is not high, the Demon God Cult is particularly rampant within their empire. Besides dealing with the Demon God Cult, they are also spreading the faith of the Hunting Goddess. Many Angels are going to various places to build churches and spread faith," someone explained.

Seeing this, Lin Ye knew that there would likely be no major conflicts for the next hundred years.

As for taking advantage of the Orc Empire's internal strife to counterattack? Isn't that a joke? The combined strength of the Orc Empire is much stronger than that of the three races, plus the support of the Hunting Goddess. Isn't that asking for death?

Moreover, the Orc Empire's strategic depth is so absurd; even the Demons couldn't conquer it. Lin Ye didn't think his side could take it down.

However, causing him some trouble is necessary. This Orc fellow cannot be left idle; if he is idle, he will develop problems, gradually engage in infighting, and eventually have to rely on invasion to shift conflicts.

Lin Ye thoroughly reviewed the information sent by his subordinates and felt that this Hunting Goddess was quite good; at least her doctrine was normal, not some evil cult.

The evil cults of Heaven are naturally not the same as the Demon's evil cults, but rather cults whose doctrines teach people about War and the like.

Under such doctrines, the people will be very warlike and belligerent, eventually finding various excuses to initiate War.

The Hunting Goddess's doctrine emphasizes natural harmony, the combination of courage and wisdom, and respect for the Life cycle. She teaches us to live in harmony with nature, cherish resources, and show respect for prey during hunting, ensuring that the ecological balance is not destroyed. She encourages people to develop hunting skills and exercise their bodies, while also emphasizing the importance of mental growth and self-reflection. When facing challenges, she advocates bravely pursuing goals while remaining vigilant and wise to ensure the safety and success of the hunting process. The Hunting Goddess's doctrine also includes responsibility to family and community, and the principles of fairness and integrity in hunting activities.

Lin Ye was full of praise upon reading this doctrine. This goddess focuses on hunting; he wonders if there's a God of Parkour focusing on parkour, or other deities of various sports.

However, although the goddess's doctrine looks good, she will eventually turn her attention to the three races in order to compete for believers.

Even the Goddess of Peace would initiate War for believers. As for the reason? You don't love peace? Then you are a heretic. I will beat you into submission and properly educate you. You started a War? Then you are a heretic among heretics. I will kill your leader and let the innocent people embrace peace.

So, this War is unavoidable.

Lin Ye continued to browse various messages, trying to find information that could give the Orcs something to do.

His subordinates were also busy, offering advice.

But so far, due to the limited information, no particularly good methods have been found.

Lin Ye felt that the intelligence department should be developed.

These Orcs are relatively easy to corrupt, but unfortunately, there are Angels.
