Chapter 1571 - 448: The Divine and the Divine Chosen (Part 3)
They all received Gold Level appointments.
The Silver Level that followed won't be described one by one. Many players have reached this tier through Contribution Points, and some players leveling up quickly are about to climb to the Gold Level.
After the enfeoffment conference ended, Luo Yan dismissed the demons and returned to the sleeping palace in the Great Graveyard.
Sitting down to enter a state of meditation, he looked at the statistics panel before him, his face showing an expression of emotion.
"Sure enough, whether it's an Emperor or a Divine, it's the most enjoyable at the beginning of the reign."

At this moment, he is like an Emperor holding a bunch of "titles."
As long as he doesn't throw all this hoarded Power of Faith to the players for them to squander, it's far from enough just to enfeoff Demon Generals!
As for why he doesn't throw it all to players?
That's obviously because there are too many heaven-defying companions, and their jealousy of each other is strong; he must be cautious in his giving, carefully using the power of rules to send them to different ecological niches.
Moreover, player death doesn't come without punishment for him; the stronger the player, the more Power of Faith it requires to resurrect.
And this part of consumption is quite difficult to quantify, just like the fluctuation of Power of Faith collected during each worship ceremony in the temple of the Great Graveyard, only reacting to "Efficiency of Dominance" after it has produced an influence.
After all, the players' resurrection mechanism is different from the reincarnation mechanism of common demons; each resurrection is akin to the "divine enlightenment" by the strength of the Divines.
If the death penalty for players were increased, making them start leveling from soul level every time they die, like those NPCs who died and were reborn, most players certainly couldn't accept it.
Then they'd have to maintain most players at a relatively "reasonable" level; this minimizes the Faith System burden on the Great Graveyard and relatively improves the players' gaming experience.
At least before gaining more sources of Power of Faith, it's a compromise.
Looking at the seemingly inflated Demon King's demeanor, Youyou, floating beside Luo Yan, softly reminded.
"Lord Demon King, it's best for you to take it easy, you know. Everything tends to bloat with time, ten sealed per year, in ten years it's a hundred, in a thousand years it's ten thousand..."
Though it hasn't seen Saint Sis, it believes that Saint Sis must have been just as inflated initially, casually enfeoffing vast Power of Faith from the Old Gods it seized.
After all, when sharing others' cake, there's no reason to hold back.
As a thousand years pass, progeny unending, the total Faith Map doesn't change, but the epic grows thicker.
Even if not all souls reincarnate in the same era, nor do all noble souls pursue transcendent strength... the top strong occupying the Faith Map is also quite serious.
Luo Yan certainly knows what Youyou is worrying about, but its worry is clearly unnecessary.
He has long considered future matters.
"Rest assured, I've got it under control."
The Divines of the Second Epoch patched the gaps in the Faith System of the First Epoch Gods, yet they still had limitations.
As a Demon King versed in the histories of Hell and humanity and having gained enlightenment from the Void Realm, he will, in the coming Third Epoch, fill in the missing piece of the puzzle left by Saint Sis and the Demon God...
...
As the Demon King returned to his loyal Great Graveyard, the Salvation Army entrenched around Sparrow Wood Territory advanced under Holy Maiden Carian's leadership towards Griffin Cliff Territory engulfed in war.
It was the Earl Domain west of Twilight City, once the land of Count Solde Swift, now occupied by the "Executioner" Ah Ka and his subordinates.
Facts proved this group of ruthless individuals didn't do better than Count Solde.
Abiding by the Knightly Code, Solde was at most poor, unable to conjure food to fill everyone's bellies.
These individuals fully adhered to the scorched-earth policy, pillaging, slaughtering, burning, and digging three meters deep for remaining grain, dismantling farmers' huts to scrape off the wheat paste on the walls.
To say they acted out of sheer survival isn't entirely accurate.
After all, "Quartermaster" Selas actually resolved their supply issues. Supported by the Ratmen Brothers from the Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Range, he truly didn't let his comrades starve.
Yet, he didn't let them eat too much either.
Moreover, he issued orders to the "Logistics Team" tasked with gathering provisions, demanding grain collection as the top priority, meeting logistical supply at any cost.
To please "Quartermaster" Selas, as well as that universally acknowledged Divine, all Chiliarchs and even Centurions madly implemented the whispers of Chaos.
