Global Deities: My Talent Comes from the Stars

Chapter 3 The First War of Gods

Two buildings rose from the ground in Liang Jiu's divine realm.

Liang Jiu's family members emerged from the cave, some of them already dressed in animal skins, and several torches were held in their hands.

Witnessing the miracle unfold before their eyes, the still-uncivilized people knelt and worshipped in the direction of the temple. Among them were several newborn children who imitated their parents, even though they did not yet understand the reason behind it.

Liang Jiu felt the faith flowing towards him grow stronger, and his control over the divine realm also increased significantly.

He summoned Xin and instilled in him the matters of the sacrifice.

"I grant you the opportunity; you will be the first human king I have chosen, and you will be qualified to have your name engraved on this monument."

Xin was bewildered after understanding the oracle. He couldn't understand why he was qualified to leave a mark on the miracle. But the gods wouldn't change their minds because of his wishes, and a line of words appeared on it.

"He who holds the fire for all, is the source of the flame."

So be it.

Liang Jiu was very satisfied with this, even though at this time Xin was at best a strong barbarian, the leader of a mortal tribe.

Time will not let him off the hook; summer will pass and winter will come.

He will marry, have children, and die soon after.

For Liang Jiu, "soon" means about a week from now.

But God has already divided his faith, and his offspring will not only inherit his superior physique, but also his wisdom and experience through the effect of [genetic memory]. This will be passed down from generation to generation, and the accumulation of experience will create mass-producible elites. Perhaps naturally, there will be sorcerers who are born with magical abilities.

The next day.

Back in class, most of the students had black smoke rings around their eyes. After all, it was everyone's first time awakening their divine realm, and they were all filled with joy and excitement. Most of them had been completely absorbed in their divine realm last night.

Pan Xiaopang spotted Liang Jiu as he entered and greeted him.

"Liang Jiu, how's the adjustment with your family going?"

"Not bad, intelligent species are relatively easy to work with, especially humans."

Upon hearing Liang Jiu's words, Pan Xiaopang slumped helplessly onto the table, utterly dejected.

"I really envy you. Most of my druids are still barbarians. Even after I revealed my divine form, some of them still attacked me. I've drunk several bottles of divine power recovery potions, but I still haven't gotten them to work properly."

"We have a divine arts class today. See if you can learn some methods. If not, I'll help you step by step," Liang Jiu said.

The process of getting along is never a simple matter, especially when there is a conflict of ideas between the followers and the gods. Most gods will get stuck on this for a while, and the divine power consumed during this period cannot be replenished through faith. They often have to rely on expensive divine power recovery potions to replenish it.

The reason I was able to succeed on my first try is because the level of mutual understanding among humans is inherently high, and the level of enlightenment among my relatives is relatively low.

Upon hearing Liang Jiu's words, Pan Xiaopang was so grateful that tears welled up in his eyes, and he moved closer to Liang Jiu, tears streaming down his face.

Liang Jiu was startled by his appearance and felt disgusted, but then he saw him stuff a card into his hand.

"What is this?" Before Liang Jiu could ask.

"My dad knows you're struggling financially, so he prepared this especially for you. If you don't accept it, I'm going to get a beating."

In the end, Liang Jiu accepted the card [Inspiration from Primitive Language].

That's exactly what he needs.

Little Fatty, how am I supposed to repay such a kindness in the future?

Just then, the magic teacher walked in and began the day's lessons.

"Battles between gods are an important way for the divine realm to progress. Only by constantly bringing external pressure to the followers in the divine realm can we promote their progress and reduce the risk of internal strife. Of course, everyone's divine realm is still in its early stages, and there are not many personal followers, so we must keep the battles in check."

The essence of battle is survival of the fittest. Some divine realm owners will even actively fight against the strong to eliminate weak individuals in their divine realm in order to improve the quality of their population. The cost is that the number of their followers increases more slowly, but the quality often outweighs the quantity. This is especially true for Liang Jiu, whose [genetic memory] gives his followers a faster learning speed than ordinary people.

With enough low-intensity battles over a long period of time, every newborn will become a natural combat expert.

"A divine realm that has lost its destined familiars is like a tree without roots. Although it can be maintained by introducing familiars from the outside, it is unlikely to advance any further. Here, the teacher suggests that students whose initial number of destined familiars is less than one hundred should actively introduce complementary subordinate familiars to reduce the losses caused by war."

"Any students willing to participate in a simulated battle of gods? I can provide resources to help mitigate any losses."

Huang Ba stepped forward first, looking at Liang Jiu provocatively. He said to Liang Jiu, "Our academic genius Liang's Divine Realm must already be at a high level of combat power. Why don't we have him come and spar with me?"

That's what you want.

Since the losses could be compensated, Liang Jiu naturally had no reason to back down. The last confrontation had allowed Liang Jiu's Evolution Hunter to complete the situation, and this time, he could not satisfy his thirst for blood.

It's time to eat lots of meat!

He followed them onto the stage and stood before Huang Ba.

"I thought a coward like you wouldn't dare come."

"They learn from their mistakes, but never remember them?"

Enraged, Huang Ba unleashed his divine domain, a white mist enveloping Liang Jiu. His use of divine power was noticeably more skillful than before.

Liang Jiu was not to be outdone, releasing an even larger and more profound inky divine domain.

In their first encounter, Liang Jiuxian gained the upper hand.

"The first step in the God War is the clash of divine realms. The side with more divine power and more skillful operation will gain more divine power to command and occupy in the subsequent God War. Currently, Liang Jiu has the advantage. Everyone, pay attention to his use of divine power." The teacher on the side explained the battle. He didn't care about the students' private conflicts. After all, the God War is the most common scenery on the road to godhood.

Within the divine realm, Xin Hu, who was teaching his people how to hunt, sensed something. He looked up and saw that the distant sky had turned pitch black, as if something was coming together and approaching.

A fierce wind howled, and Liang Jiu's voice rang in the ears of every member of the family.

"I will accompany you on your northern expedition, protecting you all to victory."

Xin dared not delay and immediately rallied the young and strong members of his tribe to grab their weapons and head north on foot.

As they traversed mountains and valleys, the primitive Homo sapiens discovered that golden light shone down upon them from the sky, instantly dispelling their fatigue and forever igniting their fighting spirit.

Soon after, they encountered their enemies at the border of the divine realm: a group of green-skinned dwarfs.

As Liang Jiu had predicted, Huang Ba's initial retinue, though composed of giant demons, must have been extremely small in number. He couldn't possibly have been willing to send them into the war of gods; instead, the retinues he had bought were the ones leading the charge.

Hundreds of goblins shoved and jostled each other as they marched forward, but before they even encountered Liang Jiu's retinue, they began to suffer casualties due to the stampede.

When hundreds of humans appeared before them, the goblins behind them began to retreat, but before they could run, they were killed by Huang Ba, who was overseeing the battle, with his divine power.

A bolt of lightning struck, and the goblins of the town charged forward with gritted teeth.

"Families who haven't worked out together often resist with a commotion. Although force can still subdue them, it will consume a lot of divine power." The divine magic teacher's voice could actually be heard from the real world into the divine realm, which made Huang Ba feel irritated. He then unleashed several more bolts of heavenly lightning, killing a few goblins.
