Dragonblight was nearly one million square kilometers in area, but despite its size, very few intelligent creatures resided within it. In an ideal scenario, the land should have been bustling with all kinds of creatures. For now, however, it seemed desolate.

As a god, Louie could not just cause his believers to die faster so as to enrich his divine kingdom. He could only wait for a generation of humans to die.

But after thinking that other gods were in a similar state, Louie’s mood was much better. Even the gods could not escape the thought of looking at things this way.

Louie had already prepared for the Goddess of Darkness’ arrival. Now that Shae had temporarily set aside her divine authority of darkness and inherited the identity of the God of Kobolds. Her divine power was not sufficient enough for her to create her divine kingdom, moreover, she had become Louie’s subordinate god with her new identity, so other gods would easily become suspicious of her building her own divine kingdom.

Moreover, Shae’s divine kingdom, the ‘Dark World’, could not be created with her identity as the Kobold God. She needed to wait until she returned to her true identity as the Goddess of Night and abandoned that divine position. Since that was the case, it would be better if she didn’t build a new one.

After receiving Louie’s approval, she directly came into Dragonblight and picked one-tenth of an area to become her divine kingdom. Louie also gave Shae authority over her chosen plot of land. From that day forth, it would be under Shae’s management, though it still belonged to Louie.

Only when their contract was over or when Shae fell would the land return to Louie’s hands.

The fact that Shae was living inside his Dragonblight relieved Louie. Under his own nose, it wouldn’t be easy for this goddess to cause any troubles.

“Your Highness Shae, I allow you to change and transform your divine kingdom as you wish, but please don’t turn it into your ‘Dark World’.”

Louie warned Shae. A god’s divine kingdom was close to a god’s preference. Dragonblight was made over Louie’s preference for nature, while Shae on the other hand preferred never-ending darkness. If she built a kingdom similar to the Dark World, then it would be easy for other gods to find her.

“Please don’t worry, Lord God! I have my own arrangements and will deal with this issue properly. Some of the kobolds like dark caves, so I will transform my divine kingdom into a crypt. It would be darkness, but also different from my divine kingdom.

Shae and Louie walked side by side under the stars of Dragonblight as they talked.

Louie would observe the beauty of the goddess from time to time.

The landscape of a divine kingdom was usually to the god’s preference. It could be turned into perpetual night or day. Louie’s divine kingdom had alternating seasons, a sun, and a moon. This not only represented Louie’s divine authority of time but also represented his preference for change and dislike of stillness.

With the Goddess of Night’s assurance, Louie felt assured. Shae was so cunning and sinister that she would absolutely not make such a mistake.

However, Shae’s choice still showed a part of her nature. She was already at her lowest yet still ensured that her living environment was in her favorite appearance. Sometimes, the gods were truly ‘stupid’ creatures.

After discussing the division of the divine kingdom as well as assigning their duties, Louie smiled and said, “It’s about time, Your Highness Shae. Let’s go to the Pantheon. As a new god, I’m excited to see the place.”

“You may be disappointed when you get there. The Pantheon is just a place for gods to settle disputes, and isn’t special in any way.”

Shae smiled sweetly. Her veil was naturally made to block the vision of the gods. Louie felt that her smile contained cruelty and an evil charm.

He admired her beauty and in the next three thousand years, he could continuously taste her charms and might even make her his own forever.

As the two gods joked, they separated a part of their divinity and sent them to the Pantheon.

The Pantheon was located in a small world inside the Astral Realm. Anyone who was a god would immediately know where it was located, while those who weren’t gods would never be able to find it.

The gods would never let their real bodies or avatars enter the Pantheon. This was also to take care of weaker gods. Some weak gods could only make a few incarnations, and their incarnations were put into different roles. If an incarnation was put aside from important work just to attend the meeting, many weak gods would feel a large amount of pressure, so the gods would only use a strand of their divinities to go there.

This Pantheon had existed for hundreds of thousands of years. After Louie asked about it, Shae told him its origins.

In the beginning, the ancient gods possessed the power of the origin and changed the world at will. As a result, the gods would always solve problems by force and never negotiate. After that the rules of the world changed, resulting in the ancient gods requiring faith. Thus they needed to find more diplomatic resolutions to disputes.

It was under this situation that the gods got together to discuss and agreed to build the Pantheon, which would become a meeting place for the gods as well as a place for negotiations after disputes.

There was no building older than the Pantheon in the world of San Soliel. And it was just as immortal as the gods themselves.

Upon arrival, Louie noticed that the Pantheon was built in the form of a multi-layer irregular temple. It had no roof or floor, instead having dozens of chairs floating in the void. Behind each chair was a stone pillar that stretched endlessly above and below it.

The otherwise vacuum of the Astral Realm was now filled with ether, a colorless substance that connected the many realms of San Soliel together. This location had thus been termed, the Etheric Sea.

According to Shae’s explanation, the gods had deliberated for a long time in the past. No matter what the Pantheon was built to look like, the symbols or substances used would favor one group of gods over the other. In the end, the ancient gods had deliberately replaced the surrounding scenery with something like the Etheric Sea which had no use other than connecting realms and did not belong to any god.

The Pantheon had four levels of seating that symbolized divine power ranks. The stronger the gods were the higher their position was.

As one of the gods to reach level 7, Louie naturally sat at the top.

When his divinity entered the Pantheon, he was automatically sent to his corresponding position. Louie’s divinity transformed into a vague dragon shape that emitted the aura of his main divine authority. He also began to look around after sitting down.

The first thing he saw was Shae who was directly located below him. Her body was blurred and distorted to look like a kobold, and the aura she emitted was also the divine authority of kobolds.

‘This method of stealing the sky and changing the sun can even hide her identity in the Pantheon. It sounds correct since the Pantheon is like a program, so it should not be too difficult to fool.’

Just as Louie was thinking this, he noticed a gaze in front of him. Louie hurriedly looked and saw a figure shrouded in moonlight. He immediately knew that it was the Silver Moon Goddess Selune.

The Silver Moon Goddess nodded her head and transmitted her happiness. Louie replied with a smile. Although the two gods did not speak, they used their eyes to convey their words. Afterward, they looked at the surroundings to find out what other gods were present.

The whole Pantheon was very quiet as all of the gods appraised their surroundings.

Under the Silver Moon Goddess, Louie saw another familiar god. It was the Unicorn Goddess Lara. After a brief glance around, Louie saw how the gods were arranged.

The gods were arranged in terms of godhood, divine system, and alliance. Those with high-level godhood sat at the front while those that were weaker sat behind. Those with the same divine system sat together and those who were under alliance sat close to each other.

‘I have an alliance with Selune, so we sit close to each other. She is in front of me indicating that her godhood is higher level than mine. In this Pantheon, the standings of the gods are clear.’

Thinking of this, Louie was already prepared to go meet some of the gods he wanted to see, but before he could move, he felt two gazes on him.

These two were none other than the Goddess of Magic, Mismisella, and the Goddess of Earth, Chauntea!
