Chapter 200: Xi Wei's Talk-No-Jutsu

The other gods of the Invisible Pantheon were thoughtfully silent.

As a matter of fact, even if the mortal humans and other intelligent races did not feel it, the gods who looked down upon the world like overlords had sharply noticed that things were changing recently.

The centuries of harmony between nations were stirring as they came in conflict in the name of profit, with the fall of Tierra being a starting point.

The once anonymous Demonic Roes were also showing up on the ground in droves, seducing mortals without strong minds and corrupting them into demons, going on rampages fueled by their very desires. It appeared to be a hint that those fiends of hell would return, that the future would not be kind to humans.

Even the various churches that had once been allied had also became hostile each other due to a difference in patron deities.

It was not just humans either-there were no lack of lesser gods who, though born recently, had obtained strong enough divinity to risk attacking other gods.

Everything appeared treading towards the great destruction of a thousand year ago, the War of Gods and Demons that almost wiped out all human civilization in the last era!

That was also why Aslan had been persistent in gathering the Invisible Pantheon-each of the past three divine wars was a calamity for all living beings, and even the gods themselves.

Likewise, it was a rare opportunity.

"But only words would not work. What are you saying we should do?" Gurus, God of the Hunt asked.

Having been waiting for that, Xi Wei promptly adopted a wise, composed tone to reveal his script and schemes. It was a tone only, however, since he had no face and he could not make expressions with the light effects on his ball turned off...

"There is much to be set aside beforehand since it's still early and not the time for it-but stopping the changing of eras is impossible, and it is precisely because we are gods that we must realize our limits. Moreover, our ability as an alliance wouldn't exactly stand out amongst the divine community.

"Therefore, I suggest that we take the partnership of the Invisible Pantheon to the next level. We'll be helping each other to survive even as we engage in mutually beneficial partnerships so that our believers would repent from the mundane and seek the strongest faith, that the first zealots would draw more zealotry so that everyone becomes a zealot!"

"Moreover, since things had yet to turn for a worse at the moment, we should hold back and refrain on deliberate elevations. That way, we would both keep a low profile without drawing the attention of other gods until we have enough power to withstand any invasion upon us."

Despite sounding reasonable, each word of Xi Wei's speech was as empty as the next.

But to put it in simpler, more understandable words, the general gist would be: look, the lion is not going to be carry us anymore. It's time to get to work!

Be that as it may, the gods of this world were none of those angelic investors back on Earth who had never experienced the horrors of PowerPoint presentations, the gods were naturally convinced with relative ease.

Hence, aside from the Great Lion who had the nagging feeling that something was definitely wrong despite how stately Xi Wei's speech was, the other gods completely did not catch on to Xi Wei's ulterior motives having not met him much. Nonetheless, his conviction made him sound quite reasonable, and they all nodded in agreement.
