Chapter 1428: Chapter 1386: The Fall of the Main God Chapter 1428: Chapter 1386: The Fall of the Main God “What could possibly be ominous about it? This weapon was crafted using a descendant who intended to start a rebellion as the material. in the realm of divine artifacts, its power ranks among the top,”
Father was somewhat surprised by Muria’s reason for refusal and explained again. His matter-of-fact attitude left Muria speechless.

Should I say it’s no wonder for a primordial deity who has lived for so long? He’s completely unbound by any ties of kinship and does as he pleases.

To kill his own descendent and then make a weapon out of him to be given to other deities, this method is undeniably savage. Nevertheless, the god of war and victory, who had unfortunately been turned into a weapon, was no less cruel.

He too wanted to kill his own Father and take his place. Muria felt no sympathy or regret for his fall.

Now before him stood a deity who, in the pursuit of power, cared nothing for appearances, but it was too late for him. Or perhaps, his methods and strength could never surpass his father.

“Speaking of the power contained within these two weapons, indeed it is so. However,” Muria shook his head, feeling somewhat uneasy about such weapons.

Moreover, the fact that the Mountain Lord offered them as a congratulatory gift for winning spurred suspicions in Muria’s mind about possible hidden meanings.

Since he had already detected and swiftly dealt with the rebellious descendant, it was likely he had also discovered the possibility of conspiracy with him.

The Mountain Lord’s visit this time likely had reasons: partly to inquire about the war but possibly also to display power.

“If Majesty of the Netherworld truly does not wish to accept them, then I’ll exchange them for another two!”

The Mountain Lord spoke with a smile, his tone as gentle as ever. However, having seen his ruthless side, Muria certainly did not take his words or demeanor at face value.

“Forget it, since it is Mountain Lord’s kind gesture, I’ll accept it after all!”

Realizing his hesitation was out of character, Muria quickly made a decision. The tangible benefits outweighed his discomfort; after all, he would not personally use these two divine artifacts but assign them to his subordinate gods.

“That is good.”

The Mountain Lord cleanly handed over the two divine artifacts crafted from the descendant to Muria.

Afterward, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two powerfully divine beings became even more harmonious. The deities then discussed their respective suggestions for the future development between their divine systems and for the prosperity of the world…

“So after you accepted these two ominous artifacts, you just chatted with that deity?”

Michaela frowned as she inspected the spear and shield before her, feeling hesitant to even touch them after hearing their origins from Muria.

“I only kept him company in conversation, what else could I do? I couldn’t exactly ask him to leave,” Muria answered with a helpless smile.

According to Muria’s preference, he wouldn’t want to deal with that deity at all; however, the reality was, he could not afford to do so. He must maintain an appearance of harmony. With him at war against the Sun God, he could not afford to create more enemies for himself.

“Do you really plan to cooperate with him?”

“He controls the Supreme Divine Position of ‘Earth’, what do you think?” Muria replied with a smile full of deeper meaning.

“He is bound to fall!”

Michaela understood; her partner held a divine position related to Earth. For the sake of completeness of his divine position, Muria would inevitably have to kill this Mountain Lord at some moment in the future, “When do you plan to make your move?”

“Why are you more anxious than me? I can’t say for sure; I need to take care of the Sun God first,” Muria said, laughing.

“Speaking of the Sun God, I’m about to advance to Intermediate Divine Strength soon, which should be able to help you. But your student is advancing faster than me; he’s on the brink of it.”

“It’s good news that Jiuli is about to become a Powerful Divine Force. This brings me closer to my goal,” Muria said, raising an eyebrow and showing a look of delight. The fall of the Sun God was crucial to him, as having control over two Supreme Divine Positions would make him truly invincible.

By then, his strength would snowball more and more. Defeating the Sun God, whom he seeks to be the Lord of the World, basically cements his position.

“When do you plan to begin the war?”

“Let’s wait until you’re promoted to a Powerful Divine Force!” Muria decided to play it safe. The ultimate battlefield would undoubtedly be within the divine kingdom of the Sun God. By then, with the geographical advantage of the divine kingdom, facing two opponents would be no issue at all.

But with Michaela’s promotion, the situation would be completely different. Three against one, even with the geographical advantage of the divine kingdom, could not negate the absolute advantage in numbers.

“Hmm!” Michaela approved of Muria’s cautious decision.

Time slowly passed, and the war between the Netherworld Divine System and the Sun God System continued. The domains governed by these two divine systems clashed continuously, although the frequency had decreased from the initial stages. Both sides were entering a period of exhaustion.

The war inevitably fell into a long and drawn-out struggle. The prolonged period made many creatures born during the war accustomed to it, even seeing it as a part of their life.

And the gods, who had originally paid great attention to this vast war, also, over time, no longer focused on this conflict, even considering it the norm.

In such a situation, the Ming King God System began to methodically and deliberately block off certain domains, and within these metaphors, promoted the faith of two deities.

One was the god Jiuli, who controlled multiple divine positions such as [Water], [Earth], and [Fire]; the other was the Blazing Sky Goddess, who presided over [Light] and [Hope].

The faith of these two deities not only spread within the blocked domains but also across other divine systems governed by the Ming King God System. However, in domains without blocks, the churches of these two deities seemed no different from the churches of other deities—very ordinary and not drawing any external attention.

Thus, when the god Jiuli became a powerful divine force, apart from a few deities, almost all gods in the world did not realize that there was another significant deity emerging.

…

“Ah, I really can’t take it anymore, this war has been going on for almost a hundred years now. My number of believers has been declining all through the war, never picking up.”

The main force in the war is, undoubtedly, energetic young adults. Yet the war is a merciless flesh grinder, decimating all lives that partake in it.

The existence of the war suppresses the number of deities in its area and can even lead to the ecological extinction in some regions. Therefore, even gods who typically disregard mortal lives developed a weary sentiment toward the war because the prolonged conflict had started affecting their fundamental interests.

“You might be fed up, but you’ll have to endure. As long as the two Majesties don’t wish to stop, we must continue fighting.”

“But how long must we fight? Do you know, ever since ten years ago, I’ve conducted a census in my territories and my number of believers has been falling. Based on the rate of decline, I might lose my divine position in about a millennium.”

“A millennium, huh? This war shouldn’t last that long, you can be assured of that. And these matters, they don’t follow any fixed patterns.”

“Humph! A millennium? With the attitude of those two Majesties, not just a thousand, but even ten thousand years could be possible. Like some folks said, the war will become a routine for our Sun God System and the Ming King Divine Artifact.”

“If one of those two Majesties would just slightly bow their head and give in, this war could immediately end.”

“Easy to say, but that’s absolutely impossible. Majesty of the Netherworld, who has always had the upper hand in this war, how could he possibly bow his head in defeat?”

“And let’s not even start on the Majesty of the Sun God. Just think about what power he controls, when does the sun ever bow its head?”

“Ah, I really don’t want to fight anymore. If possible, I’d even consider fleeing.”

“You can’t escape, and do you really want to face the wrath of the Majesty of the Sun God?”

“If, I mean if!” A deity, suddenly struck by a thought, looked at his colleague and close friend and repeatedly emphasized before proceeding with his thought.

“Speak, don’t babble, even if you say something that shouldn’t be said, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.”

“If the Majesty of the Sun God were to fall…”

“Cough, stop, enough!”

“Why such a big reaction? I said if.”

“How can you carelessly talk about such things? If His Majesty finds out, your fate…”

“That’s why I’m only telling you!”

“Stop dreaming. Such an event simply isn’t possible. Our divine system, although weakening in this war, only affects minor deities like us, and cannot possibly have any real impact on existences like the Majesty of the Sun God.”

“I was just saying… that’s all.”

The deity who originally wanted to discuss this taboo topic with his close friend suddenly froze, sensing the suddenly shattered shackles deep within his divine soul, his expression turning bizarrely strange.

“That… do you feel anything?”

“…The contract with His Majesty is gone!” After a long silence, the deity replied with some difficulty.

“Me too, I thought there was something wrong with my perception.”

A contract between deities suddenly collapsing usually indicates that one of the parties who signed the contract had fallen. In such cases, the contract automatically becomes null and void.

“But… how is this possible? This is a powerful divine force! How could it suddenly fall? There was absolutely no sign beforehand.”

“No, there were some signs.”
