From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 413: The American Pantheon is Complete!

At this moment, the three deities from different pantheons seemed to fall silent.

Kukulkan coming here to directly provoke them was, of course, a slap in the face to The Church. After all, in this world, it was The Church that had occupied their territory and caused their lack of Divine Faith.

"Feathered Serpent God, this is not the point of our arrival. The Lord has already formed a Contract with your pantheon. We shall compete fairly in this world!" Saint Peter declared. "Render unto faith what belongs to faith, and unto believers what belongs to believers. You must not act recklessly!"

Being the one with the lowest status among those present, this Saint had no better option than to argue based on reason.

In the end, the gods of these pantheons were not exactly a reasonable bunch. If they flew into a rage and started another Divine War, it was entirely possible!

"Naturally, I have always abided by the Contract. However, I came to this land because some of your people are not honoring it!" Kukulkan stated bluntly. "Many of our believers are still held in your followers' prisons, and many others are forbidden from worshiping us. You are not exactly fair either!"

When it came to the struggle for Divine Faith, true fairness was impossible. Everyone resorted to underhanded tactics, a fact that Saint Peter knew perfectly well.

However, since the god had brought it up publicly, he replied with grave seriousness, "The Church will not allow such things to happen. It will be resolved!"

He looked toward Bennett Angus. The acting Pope nodded. "I have already investigated the specific incidents and am working hard to resolve them. The Church should attract believers with faith and a promised future, not through such methods!"

Hearing this, Kukulkan finally nodded in satisfaction. He turned to Carl, naturally noticing Jaron beside him as well. "Children of the Gods, on behalf of the pantheon, I welcome your return!"At this moment, all the indigenous believers felt a wave of bittersweet emotion welling up from the depths of their hearts.

Finally! After holding on for so many years, they had finally waited until the return of the deities, and received the welcome of a great god like Kukulkan!

Many even burst into tears. For these Native Americans, especially those who still held onto their own Culture in their hearts, life had been far too bitter.

To be bullied by foreign cultures on their own land—what kind of sorrow, misery, and desolation was that?

But now, under the descent of the Feathered Serpent God, this desolate feeling transformed into an emotion they could finally vent. This Culture that belonged to them was gradually turning into a power that belonged to them!

The people on the side of The Church now looked quite awkward, for they could also sense the Wish Power that originally belonged to them beginning to waver and drift toward the opposition.

The battle for faith on this land had truly entered its first phase starting from this very moment!

However, none of this had anything to do with Norse Mythology. Baldur was happy to just watch the show. Deities all possessed the ability of Information Perception and reception. Even though he had just awakened, the knowledge he held was by no means small, making his gaze appear all the more gentle.

Beside him, three Valkyries whispered softly to him, making this handsome God of Light appear incredibly radiant and dazzling under the watchful eyes of the entire world.

Just by standing there, he had already attracted countless eyes, drawing the attention of many people who naturally possessed a Germanic Bloodline or harbored a Norse Sentiment toward this Pantheon.

Compared to the fiercely xenophobic American Pantheon, or the Christian pantheon which demanded devout faith, Āsathrú placed much less emphasis on bloodlines. After all, Vanir gods, Frost Giants, and even Sea Giants could join the Asgardian Pantheon. Instead, they valued personal capability. Could this be a viable choice as well?

Since it was all about pursuing Transcendence, why abandon what was accessible for something distant? We could also join the World Tree! We could also become Midgardians!

After all, the Asgardian Pantheon demanded no Bloody Sacrifices and had no strict faith requirements. Was that not vastly more appealing than the other two?

Thus, the original Funeral, under the descent of three deities, transformed into a unique stage to showcase their power to the world. It became a true Heaven in the hearts of every believer!

To The Faithful, it truly was Heaven, because they now knew exactly what their future as believers entailed!

The devout of The Church would enter Heaven after Death. The Warriors of the Asgardian Pantheon would enter Valhalla after dying in battle. And the Native Americans also had their own Underworld and Divine Kingdom to go to.

This dismantling of Death itself was the very reason they were so incredibly thrilled!

Humans inherently feared Death. Previously, they had no choice, so they thirsted for Eternal Life and yearned for peace after passing. But now, they had options. There was a new life to choose from after dying, a brand-new future laid out before them. This caused even the most stubborn skeptics to gradually entertain the idea of having Divine Faith!

The impact of this live broadcast continued to spread, and the influence of the three pantheons kept rising. Especially with three Foreign Gods watching, the Wish Power they provided experienced an even further sublimation.

This prompted Bai Yang, who had merely been observing, to suddenly bring out a cluster of Divine Flame.

This was the Christian Divine Flame. Burning upon it was the faith and history of Christianity, as well as the future of the religion.

Bai Yang raised his hand, directly manifesting the accumulated divine Wish Power in his grasp into a special ray of Light, roasting it over the Divine Flame. Only he could come up with such a bizarre yet brilliant idea.

Such an action left Alvin somewhat astonished for a moment. "Crown, are you using the power of the Divine Flame to roast the Wish Power? What are you planning to do?"

Wish Power was intangible, and so was the Divine Flame. This so-called roasting should actually be called Divine Staining, allowing the formless Wish Power to be dyed with the unique colors of this deity under the heat of the Divine Flame.

The color of The Church was naturally Holy Light, but that was unimportant. The crucial point was that Bai Yang needed the history of The Church!

The history of the Native Americans was far too sparse, so scarce it almost felt non-existent. This lack of historical documentation left Bai Yang completely At One's Wit's End when trying to find their Historical Anchor Point.

"Crown, are you intending to use The Church's history to anchor the history of the American gods? How do you plan to design this Pantheon?" Alvin had deciphered Bai Yang's method, which only fueled his Curiosity.

"I have no choice. They have too little history, and many of the records were actually written down by missionaries..." Bai Yang said helplessly. The colonizers of that era had destroyed the history of this continent to a ludicrous degree. He could not just fabricate everything out of thin air either, as that would affect the judgment of the World Will.

All his actions and constructs had to be logical and reasonable. This made it much easier to gain the "approval" of the world, just like what he was doing right now.

Soon, he released the Wish Power in his hand, transforming it into an almost perfect sphere of Radiance that flickered before the two of them.

"As for what you asked—what will we use to anchor the history of this world and mold the origin anchor of this Pantheon?" Bai Yang's eyes gleamed brightly. "The Sun, of course!"

"In American Mythology, all the major deities are inevitably Sun Gods. For example, the Feathered Serpent God, Weiqiluobocitli, Inti... These Deities are all Sun Gods, or at the very least, a manifestation of the Sun. Therefore, for this American Pantheon, there is no anchor more suitable than the Sun!"

As Bai Yang spoke, he raised the Radiance in his hand high into the air. He then gradually melded its elements into the history of this world, making this "Sun" appear even brighter!

The next second, he tore open the space beside him, bringing another celestial body into view. It was an incredibly dazzling star, so bright it was almost exaggerated. It was a star—more accurately, a Main-Sequence Star!

"What kind of sun could be a better Divine System Anchor for this Pantheon than a literal sun?" Bai Yang said with a beaming smile. "Alpha Centauri. An M-type Main-Sequence Star, a Red Dwarf Star. Its Energy output is not as strong as our Sun, but it still possesses an absurd amount of mass!"

"From this moment forth, the true anchor of the American Pantheon, the sun belonging to the Sun Gods, shall be this very star!"

In his hands, the ray of light connected with the star before him. A trace of Extraordinary Great Power gradually manifested, fully transforming into the Divine System Anchor that Bai Yang had established for the American Pantheon!

Bai Yang chuckled and added, "This is also a good thing. It links perfectly with our upcoming operations. I have already figured it out: if any deities from the Dylan Continent attempt to explore this world through prophecy or magical connections, then this star will surely become a lingering Nightmare they can never shake off!"

This star possessed no Transcendent Power whatsoever, but that did not matter in the slightest. The terrifying heat and even more horrifying mass were in themselves existences that could rival Transcendence!

With this, Bai Yang could finally declare that his American Pantheon had been successfully established!
