How could Louie not perceive the arrival of a divine incarnation? He smiled and turned to look and see a middle-aged woman with a face full of kindness and peace.
“Your Highness Louie, the earth and magic divine authorities in your hands are not very useful. Holding them would only make you enemies with me and Mismisella. It is a very unwise act.”
“How about this, return to me the part of the divine authority of earth in your hands and I will give you the complete divine authority of crops in my hands. What do you think?”
The Goddess of Earth’s proposal caused not only Louie, but even the Goddess of magic to change her expression.
The role of the divine authority of crops was very great. Many farmers believed in this divine authority. It could be said that exchanging this would cause the Mother Earth Goddess to lose out a lot, as it would decrease her godhood by at least two levels.
In normal circumstances, Louie would not refuse. In the eyes of the gods, Louie refusing was the same as not giving face to the Mother Earth Goddess.
Louie raised his eyebrows. This ancient goddess truly knew how to give him hard problems. He had expected that the Mother Earth Goddess would appear in a younger form, but he did not expect her to appear as a middle-aged woman. This meant that she did not yet want the gods to know that she had reverted to her original form.

The fact that the Mother Earth Goddess was rarely involved in strife was indeed enough to make those gods who know nothing let their guards down against her.
“So that’s how it is. The Goddess of Earth had planned to give up on agriculture and instead focus on the more general concept of earth. Although the domain of agriculture allowed her to stay as a powerful god, it also limited her growth. In her hands were the divine authorities of summer and autumn. Once she obtains the complete divine authority of earth as well as spring and winter. With the cycle of seasons and the power of the earth, she could reach level 20 godhood. Adding her motherly nature to that would allow her to return the world back to a matriarchal state…’
‘In other words, this goddess was more ambitious than I expected. She plans to use the culture of the main continent as a means to help her become the god of gods!’
Gods were not without desire, otherwise, they would struggle to reach a high level of godhood. Every god had the desire to become the god of gods, but to obtain that chance, one had to have a godhood of level 20. This requirement alone made it difficult for the gods to succeed.
Since the gods had become faith-based, no one has ever reached a godhood of level 20. The Prince of Lies had once reached a level 19 godhood and planned to reach level 20 through means of killing, but because he had gone overboard, the gods had banded together in fear and took away his divine authority of doom, preventing him from staying on top.
Chauntea had been the next best candidate for this, but she had problems maintaining her vitality and lost the motivation to move forward. Even if she possessed level 19 godhood, no god had felt that she was a threat.
But who could have imagined that the catastrophe that swept the world instead helped this goddess regain her youth and vitality. In addition her godhood could reach level 19 and she was on good terms with most of the gods due to her temper. It was most likely possible for her to reach level 20 with no one finding out.
Once she did so, it was possible for her to become the god of gods. No matter how high or low this was, Louie could not allow it. If the Goddess of Earth truly became the god of gods, then he would never have the chance.
Therefore, he could never give her the divine authority of earth. This was simply helping the enemy.
“I appreciate your good intentions, Your Highness Chauntea! But my divine authority is quite complicated and messy enough. Before I perfect my divine authority, adding any more would just be a burden to a new god like me. The once Prince of Lies is an example of this. Because of his overly powerful and complicated divine authority, he had been ushered into madness. This is a lesson taken from the past.”
“However, I am flattered that you would give me one of your most important divine authority.”
Louie still rejected Chauntea’s offer. Moreover, she used this method to warn the Goddess of Magic and plans to use her mouth to spread it to other gods. For the Goddess of Earth to give up her important divine authority, there was definitely something strange about it.
If Louie directly told the gods that Chauntea had regained her youth and was seizing more power without sufficient evidence, the gods would not believe him. Realistic creatures like gods would not go against powerful gods just for speculation.
Therefore, he could only use euphemisms to remind them.
As expected, after hearing Louie’s words, the Goddess of Magic’s mysterious eyes flashed with understanding. As smart as she was, she began to doubt the Chauntea.
For some reason, Chauntea laughed, “It seems that Your Highness Louie has a huge misunderstanding of me. I am a very old god who has lost her vitality. The immortality of the body is different from the immortality of the mind. I have already gained some understanding of the thoughts of my old friend, the ‘Lord of the End of All Things’, and how he gave up his divine authority and lived a life of seclusion.”
“I can give you the divine authority of crops, and I hope that you will return a part of the divine authority of earth to me so that I can fulfill my last obligation as the Goddess of Earth.”
Chauntea’s words stopped the Goddess of Magic from overthinking. In the Era of the Gods, Chauntea already had thoughts of living in seclusion during the era of the gods, so in the goddess of Magic’s opinion, these were the real thoughts of the Goddess of Earth.
Noticing the change in the Goddess of Magic’s expression, Louie sarcastically thought, ‘You cunning old lady. It would be strange if I believed you. However, this old lady can really talk. A few words from her already stopped the Goddess of Magic’s doubts!’
Louie certainly knew about the god known as the ‘Lord of the End of All Things’. It was the oldest god of death who was once powerful beyond comparison, but no one imagined the god of death to take the initiative to give up his divine authority of death. As a result, he fell from a powerful god to a weak god.
This might seem incredible to the gods, and they would at most attribute it to the Lord of the End of All Things losing its vitality which resulted in him giving up his divine authority. As one of the oldest gods that lived in the same era as the Goddess of Earth, other gods would think that her thoughts were the same as the God of Death.
However, Louie did not think so. After Louie came in contact with the source of order, he suspected that the God of Death had glimpsed a shot at level 20 godhood and had come in contact with the source of death in this world, which would allow them to become the god of gods. This god was clever to give up his divine authority and assist the new God of Death to remove the vigilance of other gods. Then he would secretly study the source of death to one day become the god of gods.
However, the Lord of the End of All Things was a tragic god. He had given up his divine authority to become weak, and by chance the Terran Civilization had invaded the world, killing him in seconds. No matter how smart he was, he could not imagine that it was not the gods that killed him, but a foreign civilization from beyond the Crystal Wall System.
He clearly could have become the god of gods, but never imagined that he would fall before he could succeed. None of the gods had even suspected him.
“Your Highness Chauntea, your offer is truly moving, but as a dragon, my pride does not allow me to hand over what I have in my hands. Even if you want to exchange, I cannot do so. Dragons do not let others covet their property. If you really want to get your hands on the divine authority of earth, then come take it!”
“As a dragon, I hate these kinds of win-win situations the most. This might be normal from a self-righteous god like you, but I shall firmly say no!”
Louie pretended to be arrogant. He used his identity as a dragon to fool Chauntea and let her think that he refused due to his arrogance and not because of his goal.
Chauntea and Mismisella believe his words because a dragon’s arrogance was the most troublesome thing in the world.
The Goddess of Earth appeared angry and shook her head at Louie, “The Five-colored Dragon God also had such a temper. He did not communicate with the other gods and remained arrogant to the end. I thought that Your highness Louie was different, but now it seems I was wrong. You are the same as the once Five-colored Dragon God. Like all dragons, you are stubborn to the point where you don’t know what compromise is at all.”
“Such a character will make you suffer a great loss!”
“You old hags all use the same annoying tone. Stop spouting rubbish and let us use power to solve the problem. When have we gods done things in such a gentle manner?!”
Louie also showed that he was angry at Chauntea’s provocative words, but much of this was faked.
“Your Highness Mismisella, it seems that His Highness Louie is stubborn. We should join hands and make him submit.”
“You are right, Your Highness Chauntea! Dragons are notoriously stubborn. You have given him such benefits yet he still won’t listen. Even the gods won’t feel sorry for him right?”
The two gods gradually surrounded Louie.
“He, Your Highness Chauntea and Your Highness Mismisella, you think that you could take a bite out of me… From the surface, it might seem like I am not your opponent. After all, how could one incarnation of mine be able to beat the incarnation of two powerful gods.”
Seeing Louie show a good-natured look, the Goddess of Magic was slightly uncomfortable and probed, “Your Highness Louie, are you waiting for reinforcements? If you are waiting for Her Highness Selune, then I advise you not to wait. If she makes a move, the Spider Goddess will definitely stop her. Even if the Spider Queen is not her match, she could still stall for a while.”
“You misunderstand me, your Highness Mismisella! I am not waiting for reinforcements, for I alone am enough to finish the both of you off!”
As Louie’s words fell, the two goddesses wondered what kind of nonsense he was spouting, but they suddenly felt something and looked to the side. There a male figure with bronze hair and pupils came out from nowhere. This was Louie’s time incarnation.
“How, how do you have so much divine power? How could you use the divine authority of time to create two incarnations?!”
The Goddess of Magic uttered in shock and even the Goddess of Earth became depressed.
“Hahahahahaha! Your Highnesses, I wonder if you still have enough divine power left? Let’s just see who’s underestimating who here!”
Louie laughed out loud. His dream incarnation suddenly transformed into a huge emerald dragon and spouted a dragon breath.
War was fought with resources, and a war between gods was no different. With no qualitative gap in power, whoever had more reserves of divine power had the greater advantage.
In terms of faith, Louie had the seven billion people of Earth as his believers that no other god could match!
