From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 152: Luowa: So This Is What a Proper Divine Pantheon Feels Like?

Within a hidden space, the man named Luowa slowly gazed at the scene unfolding before him.

He witnessed the battle here, observed the actions of Percival and Freya, and naturally, he saw the object they possessed.

"A Godhead Shard?" Luowa was completely astounded as he stared at the crystal floating in front of Freya.

Others might not recognize it, but he knew it intimately. The structure, the hardness, and the distinct fluctuations radiating from it all clearly told him that this was unequivocally a fragment of a Godhead.

A Godhead Shard that, back on Dylan Continent, would not suffer a single scratch even when struck by an attack of Powerful Divine Power!

Godheads were incomparably indestructible. Even if they were discarded or belonged to a fallen deity, they simply could not be destroyed.

To the knowledge of all deities, this was common sense. It could even be considered the underlying code of the world itself, and absolutely no one would ever question the validity of this fact.

But now, there it was!

The standard properties of a Godhead allowed any deity to clearly identify it, so Luowa was certain he was not mistaken.

And now, this shattered piece of a Godhead seemed to prove to him just how extraordinary this world truly was!"What a formidable Divine Pantheon. They actually shattered the Godhead of an otherworldly deity and casually tossed it to their follower to use..." Luowa was astounded once more. He realized he really was just a country bumpkin of a god. There were so many actions taken by this Divine Pantheon that he simply could not fathom!

He even began to worry. 'Will my own Godhead be shattered too?'

But he quickly snapped out of it. 'Why am I worrying about that?' He had already joined this special religion known as the Aesir, so even if his Godhead was shattered, it seemingly had nothing to do with him anymore.

Now, he, Luowa, was no longer some precarious ordinary deity living day to day, but a Saint under the banner of the Aesir, possessing the promise of Ascending to Godhood and his very own fiefdom of faith!

Thinking of this, he even felt a bit disdainful of the gods back on Dylan Continent!

'Look at them, and then look at yourselves! Who are you to look down on anyone with your meager amount of resources?'

Seeing his astonished expression, the deity standing beside Luowa, a Valkyrie, spoke to him, "This is your domain for Faith Sealing the Nation, Lord Luowa!"

"If there is anything you wish to know, I can explain it on their behalf!" As the direct subordinates of Odin, the Valkyries had the responsibility of guiding new gods to their territories, and naturally, they also had the obligation to explain this new world to them.

Of course, this was also a part of Bai Yang's plan to deceive Luowa. Every single move this otherworldly deity made was under observation, and the cost to maintain it was incredibly small.

After all, without a Godhead, no matter how high Luowa's other attributes were, he was simply insignificant in this fundamentally exaggerated Universe.

He could not distinguish the Worldview fabricated by Lies, and could only sink deeper and deeper into this illusionary world!

So, from this moment onward, Luowa was no longer a threat to this Universe, but had instead become a source of assistance for Bai Yang.

Hearing her words, Luowa finally snapped back to reality. He looked at the Valkyrie beside him, a flash of envy passing through his eyes.

Over his few days of learning, he had successfully grasped the general hierarchy of the entire Divine Pantheon. The highest twelve deities were all gods possessing Powerful Divine Power, a strength that stemmed from the overwhelming dominance of the Divine Pantheon itself and the contributions from its territories across various worlds.

Among the remaining gods, they basically fell into the categories of Medium Divine Power or Weak Divine Power. Only deities like the Valkyrie possessed Weak Divinity.

'Only,' what an incredibly enviable word that was to him.

Fortunately, this level of power no longer made him fearful; it only made him feel immensely satisfied. After all, this was now his own backing as well.

With this thought in mind, Luowa turned to his own concerns. "Is this city an existing territory that belongs to us, or is it merely a designated operational zone?"

This point was crucial. It determined whether he could just step down and take over, or if he needed to prepare to wage a special war of Divine Faith!

"This is, of course, a realm belonging to the Aesir gods. A millennium ago, we laid down our Divine Faith and spread Divine Grace here. However, due to the war across All Worlds, this place has forgotten the blessings of the gods..."

The Valkyrie explained, "A short while ago, His Crown, God King Odin, bestowed a new blessing and guided the birth of a Witch. She will be your collaborator on this land!"

The position of a Witch within the Aesir Divine Pantheon was quite magical, which Luowa knew well. After all, the Divine Queen herself, Frigga, who wielded Powerful Divine Power, was also a Witch.

It seemed to be a completely different advancement system within the entire Divine Pantheon. These Witches possessed magical powers distinct from those of deities, and in many cases, they were formidable allies to rely upon.

"A collaborator? Then our enemies are..." Luowa asked again. "The God King does not wish for pagans or Evil Gods to exist on this land. Therefore, all heretics must either convert or be expelled!" the Valkyrie stated once more. "This is what you must do!"

"Thank you for your explanation and guidance. Please convey my sincere greetings to His Crown, the God King!" Luowa said, watching as the Valkyrie beside him rode off on her Pegasus.

Then, the man who had been suppressing himself for so long finally stretched his body. "Whew... hanging around these beings who wield Powerful Divine Power at the drop of a hat is truly a lot of pressure!"

The information the Valkyrie had just shared was already etched into Luowa's mind. He clearly noted several distinct terms, such as 'war across All Worlds', 'pagans', and 'Evil Gods'.

Others might not catch anything amiss, but in his eyes, these concepts represented a great deal.

A war across All Worlds meant that even the mighty Aesir still had active enemies.

Moreover, they were not enemies of this world, but enemies from other worlds. It seemed he had truly joined an extraordinary Divine Pantheon, one far more expansive than the Dylan Continent!

As for pagans and Evil Gods, that meant they were not the only deities on this planet eyeing the Wish Power resources.

"But this is still a bit too extravagant!" Luowa sighed emotionally. Initially, to Ascend to Godhood, he had paid an immeasurable Price just to obtain his own Godhead.

As for The Faithful who followed him, he had truly lured them in bit by bit. It took hundreds of years to accumulate enough resources for godhood, barely allowing him to accept the Divine Nature and divine portfolio of a Godhead.

Only after joining the faction of the God of Ice and Snow did he finally secure a small town as a true anchor for his Divine Faith, gaining the followers of a single town.

Though it was barely worth mentioning, compared to those Demigods who fought tooth and nail just to maintain their very existence, he was already considered incredibly lucky.

As a result, he never could have imagined that his so-called luck would be dismissed by the Aesir as an informal Divine Pantheon, only for them to turn around and toss a massive gift package right into his lap.

"Out of the three hundred thousand people in this city, a hundred thousand will become my followers, and this place will become my nation of faith..." Looking at the sight before him and imagining his infinitely bright future, Luowa could not help but break into a wide grin.

This Divine Pantheon truly made him feel a little too good.

Therefore, he was exceptionally devoted to the task of absorbing Wish Power. The Divine Faith of this city was directly tied to the specific details of his path to Ascend to Godhood; it was impossible for him not to care.

"This time, I do not need to start as a Demigod and fight for that slim hope of ascending. With the power of the Aesir, I can directly tap into their Divine Faith, history, and culture to Ignite Divine Fire, condense my own Godhead, and cross the threshold to Ascend to Godhood in a single step, becoming a True God! Starting from Weak Divinity, rather than from a Demigod!"

Luowa was thrilled and full of purpose. In mere minutes, he had completed his self-assessment and positioned his goals.

The light known as Ambition flickered continuously around him, burning ever more intensely!

...

"He really does want to Ascend to Godhood. In that case, his divine fire will also be the divine fire of the Aesir!" Bai Yang stood right beside him, listening to his words and waiting for him to act. Now that Luowa had made his move, Bai Yang made his as well.

Standing nearby, Alvin found the scene to be entirely A Sight to Behold, because Bai Yang's ideas were truly a bit too unorthodox!

"The continuation of a Divine Pantheon requires an anchor. Luowa will only assume that he is anchored to the Divine Pantheon. He would absolutely never imagine that this Divine Pantheon is actually anchored to him!"

Bai Yang said with a beaming smile. Flipping heaven and earth upside down, he tied Luowa together with the Aesir, and even the entirety of the Norse Pantheon and the Germanic pantheon. As long as the other party Ignited Divine Fire once again, he could ride that momentum and hang the karma of the entire Divine Pantheon squarely upon Luowa's shoulders.

This was called turning the result into the cause; this was karmic inversion!

His demigod flames could also serve as the birth fire for God King Odin, or even the World Tree itself. And the process of Luowa becoming a God would likewise become the process of this Divine Pantheon transitioning from illusion into reality!

The moment Luowa relinquished his Godhead, his destiny had already been rewritten into this shape by Bai Yang. The utility of this far outweighed simply killing him.

"Then, he will be deeply bound to the entire Aesir race!" Alvin remarked. "Will he start thinking he is some sort of chosen one?"

Bai Yang chuckled and shook his head. "Of course not. As a God, Luowa is still very realistic. He will only think that this is the normal experience of a proper Divine Pantheon, and that all of this is merely the assistance of the pantheon!"

Now that was what you called a proper Divine Pantheon (hands on hips)!
