Chapter 26

The City of Gods.

After the divine war, Lorne returned to this place as soon as possible.

But he did not immediately begin absorbing the divine power.

Instead, he left his private castle and came to a huge palace with a long history.

This was a high-class place to make friends!

Usually, the surrounding gods would come here to exchange information or trade information.

Here, you could find a good friend who matched your personality.

You could also trade.

You could even team up and explore unknown mystical realms.

Lorne didn’t think that far ahead. He was just here to familiarize himself with the environment.

He sat in a corner.

This was the trading area.

Most gods who had special items to sell would wait for customers to come here.

He also took out a few strands of divine power from his hands.

Divine power couldn’t be directly absorbed.

The divine power that was taken from other gods was contaminated with complicated energy.

It might clash with the energy in your body.

So, when a god obtained divine power, it would be purified and then absorbed.

And as a new god, it would take a lot of time to purify the divine power.

Lorne didn’t have that much time.

One day in the World of Gods was equivalent to 24 days in the World of Believers.

Close to a month.

In other words…

If he spent around 15 days in the World of Gods…

Then one year would pass in the World of Believers.

This cannot be accepted.

Ever since this divine war, Lorne had been paying close attention to the development of his divine kingdom.

He wanted to develop his kingdom in the shortest amount of time possible.

So…

Even if he was at a disadvantage, he would exchange his divine power with other gods.

A whisp of divine power was condensed from a million Powers of Faith.

But in the market, because of the need to purify, a whisp of divine power could only be exchanged for 800,000 Powers of Faith.

Lorne chose to accept it.

This was an inevitable loss in the race against time.

Soon, he made a deal with another god.

He sold all three strands of divine power and obtained 2.4 million Power of Faith.

Adding up the 500,000 obtained during the live sacrifice and a portion provided by the believers, all of them added up to exactly 3 million Power of Faith

“I wonder if I can absorb two strands.”

Lorne muttered to himself.

Although he could condense three strands of pure divine power, in Lorne’s divine kingdom, the additional 100 or so believers were all kobolds with weaker physiques. So he had to improve the physiques of these weak believers.

Hence, Lorne bought 200 portions of Tauren Blood Essence from other gods, spending a total of 400,000 points of Power of Faith.

The blood essences weren’t high-quality and its effects were limited.

It could only strengthen the physique of the kobolds.

But that was enough.

After all, they were just a group of kobolds. Even if you gave them high-quality blood essence, kobolds foundation would affect the effectiveness, resulting in negative results.

On the contrary, such a low-level item was just perfect.

…

“I still have 2.6 million Power of Faith…”

Lorne leaned against the gem-encrusted seat and lowered his head in deep thought.

Other gods often passed by him.

There were giants, elves, undead, demons, orcs, humans, and so on.

Their forms were all strange.

But none of them could affect Lorne.

At this moment, he was looking at the system interface.

There was the basic information of the territory on it.

—

Divine Kingdom Interface

[ Divine Kingdom ]: Cloud Top

[ Level ]: Level 1

[ Area ]: 0.25 square kilometers.

[ Building ]: Temple 1, Wooden Houses 55.

[ Population ]: 213

[ Subordinate ]: Celtic Tolomiphal Karo Chosdo… …

One could see that the population of his divine kingdom had already exceeded 200.

And because of this year’s development, the divine kingdom’s territory had expanded to 0.25 square kilometers.

This distance was calculated based on the buildings in the divine kingdom.

Only places where the buildings were connected would be counted as the divine kingdom’s territory.

As for the surrounding forest, that was not considered the divine kingdom’s area.

Lorne did not care about this.

He felt that the current calculation method was very good. At the very least, it would make him feel that he was unremarkable and wouldn’t easily clash with other gods.

In addition, the current population of his divine kingdom was 213 people.

This should be considered a ‘small town’ level kingdom.

Starting from a village at the beginning to a small town of some scale now, this data made Lorne very happy.

As the population increased, the power of faith produced by the divine kingdom also changed dramatically.

Believer Interface

[ Holy Spirit ] : 0

[ Disciple ] : 1

[ Fanatic ] : 58

[ Devout Believer] : 62

[ True Believer ] : 90

[ Cursory Believer ] : 0

[ Shaman ] : 2

— Race Interface

This was the Believer Interface.

One could see that the believers of Lorne all had very high quality.

Fanatics 58, devout believers 62, true believers 90, and there was also one disciple and two Shamans.

The status of the Shamans was rather special and they did not belong to the regular believers’ system.

If one had to distinguish between the two by the Power of Faith provided, the role of the two lies between the disciple and the fanatic.

A true believer would produce 3 points of Power of Faith every day.

A devout believer would produce 5 points of Power of Faith every day.

A fanatic would produce 10 points of Power of Faith every day.

A believer with an elite bloodline would produce twice as much Power of Faith.

Among Lorne’s fanatics, 42 of them had an elite bloodline and there were even 10 orcs who had reached Tier-Two.

This way, the amount of Power of Faith he received every day would be even greater.

Lorne would receive1,680 points of Power of Faith from regular believers every day.

In addition, Nia, as a disciple with a transcendent level bloodline, could provide 500 points of Power of Faith every day.

The two Shamans added up to 200 points per day.

All of them added up to a total of 2,380 points of Power of Faith.

If he calculated based on this daily income, Lorne would receive about 860,000 points of Power of Faith every year.

This income was several times more than half a year ago.

Lorne happily scanned through it and opened the list of races.

—

[ Race ]: Monde Orc

[ Rank ]: Tier-Two

[ Grade ]: Elite

[ Job ]: None

[ Talent ]: Sturdy Lvl 2, Battle Will Lvl 2.

[ Skills ] : Cleave Lvl 2.

[ Attributes ] : Strength 3.3, Vitality 3.2, Agility 2.0, Spirit 1.1.

This was the interface of the strongest orc warrior in the territory.

It could be seen that the stats of the Monde orc, which had been upgraded to Tier-Two elite, had received a huge boost.

Although the other orc warriors had not been upgraded to Tier-Two, their bloodlines had been upgraded to elite.

Naturally, their stats had also received a huge boost.

They and the Tier-Two orc warriors were the main forces in future battles.

So Lorne had to get some armor and weapons for all of them.
