However, the Sovereigns of the other factions were not as easy to deal with as the Sovereigns of the Infernal Realm. Perhaps they did not have the guts to come to the Divine Darkness Plane to question the Ruler of Darkness, but when their main god army was preaching in the material plane and encountered the Church of Darkness or the Church of Destruction that Grayson had developed long ago, they would not care about their feelings at all. Instead, they would crush them mercilessly.
For a moment, facing the onslaught of dozens of Main Gods, the countless material planes under Grayson's command that believed in the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Destruction were almost all drawn into the flames of war.
The large planes that had Highgod experts guarding them were still alright. At the very least, they still had some power to resist. However, the small and medium-sized planes that were completely handed over to the native experts of the material planes to manage had mostly changed their flag and fallen. Even if there were a small number of dimensions that did not fall, it was not because the native experts had resisted. It was because the location of the dimension was too remote, and it had not been affected by the flames of war for a while.
However, the Chief Sovereign of Destruction and the Chief Sovereign of Darkness didn't react as violently as they had imagined. As for the reason, it was naturally because they were already Paragons. Their need for faith power was no longer as urgent as other Sovereigns.
However, the Chief Sovereign of Destruction and the Chief Sovereign of Darkness were unable to step out of this War of Faith, where almost all the Sovereigns were directly involved. They simply watched from the sidelines. Because they still had a large family of underlings to feed.
It had to be known that in the countless years before this, the religion of darkness and destruction that Grayson had sent people to establish did not believe in all the Main Gods of darkness and destruction, but only the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Destruction!
In the past, when all the Sovereigns did not know about this matter, he was naturally happy to play dumb and not say anything. However, now that his subordinates had clearly stated their need for the power of faith, he could no longer pretend that he did not see it.
And so, the Chief Sovereign of Destruction directly stepped forward and powerfully drew out an enormous area, restricting all of the material planes within that area to produce power of faith that belonged to the seven Sovereigns of Destruction. The Sovereigns of the other elements were not allowed to interfere!
At the same time, after limiting the area, he blatantly sent his troops to the material planes in this area to establish a destructive Church. He also stipulated that the target of the Church's faith was no longer him alone, but all the Main Gods of the Destruction Element.
As for the armies under the command of the other Sovereigns that remained in the material planes in this region, they were given a time to retreat. Those who did not retreat after the time limit would be hunted down by all the Sovereigns of Destruction. Even the Sovereigns behind them would be pursued by the Chief Sovereign of Destruction!
His unyielding methods, his iron-blooded style, and his swift and decisive actions allowed him to snatch a large piece of the cake for the group of Destruction Sovereigns under him. Instantly, the Destruction-type Master God was no longer displeased, and he became even more loyal to the Destruction Master God.
When the other Chief Sovereigns of the Edicts saw this, they followed suit and drew out a large 'domain', indicating that the power of faith in this territory belonged to the Sovereigns of Life (Death, Fate). Whoever dared to snatch it would be offending all of us!
What was worth mentioning was that after Orloff had become the Chief Sovereign of Fate, the remaining four Lesser Sovereigns of Fate who were struggling on their last legs had immediately gathered under his command, so that he wouldn't appear to be isolated and helpless in his attempt to carve out territory. However, compared to the other Chief Sovereigns of the Edicts, Life and Death, the Sovereigns of Fate were much more subdued. After all, the two God-level sparks were still in Grayson's hands.
The Chief Sovereign of the Laws was extremely powerful, and he dared to lead his subordinates to divide up the power of faith without any scruples. However, the other Chief Sovereigns of the Laws did not have the courage and confidence to do so. Most importantly, even if they braced themselves and shouted, they would not be able to gather all the Main Gods of the same faction as them.
If the hearts of the people were not united, how could they lead the team!
Speaking of which, if it was the Chief Sovereign of Darkness, he would have the ability to split up his territory and play with it like the Chief Sovereign of the Edicts. In addition, those Darkness Sovereigns who had pledged allegiance to the Chief Sovereign of the Edicts might have been waiting for him to call out to them.
Unfortunately, he was not willing to play like this. After all, he only had one Shadow Master God under him. After so many years of development, there were still many remnants of the Cult of Shadows. It was enough for just two people to divide it, especially since the Lord of Darkness no longer needed the power of faith.
As for the other Darkness Master Gods, the Darkness Master God only wanted to say,""Scram to the side!" When he saw that he was strong, he remembered to come back and hug his thigh. What had he done earlier? What I want is a loyal subject, a confidant, not a fence-sitter who swayed with the wind!
And so, the Ruler of Darkness brought the Silhouette Master God and started drinking hot tea at the side. They crossed their legs and laughed as they watched the group of Master Gods fight over the power of faith. At the very most, he would help those law-type Main Gods who had sided with the Hell Faction when he could, helping them establish their own religion in the material plane.
There was nothing he could do about it. After all, the true masters of the various elements were the Chief Sovereigns. If he were to establish something like the Water Church, the Radiant Church, the Wind Church, and the Earth Church, it would be very easy for the majority of the power of faith to be diverted to the Chief Sovereigns of the Laws and the Main Gods who had pledged allegiance to them.
As for the Fire and Lightning Elements, they didn't have a Ruler above them, but that didn't mean that they didn't have such hidden dangers. If a new Chief Sovereign of Lightning or Fire was born one day, it would be very easy to seize the faith power of the Fire Church and the Lightning Church.
In fact, even before they were born, a large portion of the faith energy of these two Churches would be stored in their High-Level Sovereign sparks, waiting for the day when they would benefit the lucky ones who refined their Sovereign sparks.
The Law Main Gods who had joined the Infernal Realm were already moved to tears when they saw that the Ruler of Darkness was willing to help them in the War of Faith to a certain extent. They wouldn't hold a grudge against the Chief Sovereign of Destruction just because he cared about the Sovereign of Destruction. Didn't they see that the other Chief Sovereigns of the Edicts were doing the same? After all, in the eyes of the Chief Sovereign of the Edicts, his most direct subordinates were Sovereigns of the same element as him.
They were already very satisfied to be able to obtain a portion of the help of the Chief Sovereign of Darkness, who was no weaker than the Chief Sovereign of the Edicts. This was because just this bit of advantage was enough for them to gain the upper hand in a fight against the other Law Sovereigns who had joined the Chief Sovereign of the Edicts.
However, all the Main Gods, even those who already had a sufficient source of faith power and believed that they could escape from the quagmire of the War of Faith, as well as the Chief Sovereigns of Laws behind them, had taken this War of Faith too lightly.
Very soon, a terrifying chaos that affected more than ninety percent of the Sovereigns and caused the majority of the Sovereigns who were caught in it to fall would be caused by this War of Faith, which in the eyes of the Sovereigns was only a Highgod army.
The Sovereign who was the first to lose control and lose his status as the supreme mastermind behind the scenes in the War of Faith, and who had personally participated in this war, was the Chief Sovereign of Light.
The Chief Sovereign of Light, Retlin, was an extremely ancient supreme expert who had been born in the Divine Life Realm. He had risen to power at almost the same time as the Chief Sovereign of Life.
Before the birth of the Divine Light Plane, he had always lived in the Divine Life Realm. He had the title of "Chief Steward of the Divine Life Realm", similar to the Chief Sovereign of Darkness. While he pursued the Chief Sovereign of Life, he also acted as the Chief Sovereign of Life's spokesperson.
The Life God's attitude towards him had always been ambiguous. Although she had never agreed to his pursuits, she had never explicitly rejected them either. More importantly, with the Life God's tacit approval, she could even mobilize some of the non-Light Main Gods from the Divine Life Realm to a certain extent!
This caused the Chief Sovereign of Light to be certain that the Chief Sovereign of Life had a good impression of him. It was only because she couldn't put down her airs as the Chief Sovereign of the Edicts that she had been so distant from him.? He believed that as long as he had enough time and enough sincerity, he would be able to open the Life God's heart!
Unfortunately, even after the Divine Light Plane was established and the Chief Sovereign of Light no longer had an excuse to remain in the Divine Life Plane, the Chief Sovereign of Life still hadn't been conquered. As a result, he could only enter the Divine Light Plane that belonged to him with regret.
Only after leaving the Divine Life Realm did the Chief Sovereign of Light realize that his power as the second most powerful person in the Divine Life Realm was but a reflection of the moon in the water, an illusion!
After he left the Divine Life Realm, the non-Light-type Law Sovereigns no longer bowed down to him. Instead, they were as cold as passersby! It turned out that the reason why he could command them was because of the seemingly weak Life God behind him! Perhaps in their eyes, he was just a clown who used his power to intimidate others.
After realizing this, the Chief Sovereign of Light began to yearn for power. This was especially true when he saw that he was the only Sovereign of Light guarding the entire Divine Light Plane. He madly desired to be like the Chief Sovereign of Darkness, to have power comparable to the Chief Sovereign of the Edicts!
It had to be said that in many aspects, the Chief Sovereign of Light was very similar to the Chief Sovereign of Darkness. Both of them had the title of 'Chief Steward' in the Higher Planes, and they were also seen as puppets pushed out by the Chief Sovereigns of Destruction and Life respectively. Moreover, the subordinates of these two were also born in a Higher Plane that was different from his own. This meant that after he established the Divine Plane, he would be in danger of becoming a commander without a leader.
At the same time, due to the natural opposites of their attributes, once a Main God mentioned either of them, the other would definitely be used as a comparison.
But regrettably, the Chief Sovereign of Light was inferior to the Chief Sovereign of Darkness in almost every aspect!
In the Higher Planes, the Chief Sovereign of Darkness was a butler and a puppet on the surface, but in truth, he was the second-in-command. As long as the Chief Sovereign of Destruction didn't come out, he had absolute authority in the Infernal Realm! As for the Chief Sovereign of Light? He was a butler through and through. He was only able to barely control the other Sovereigns of the Life Divine Realm by relying on the Chief Sovereign of Life behind him.
After leaving the Higher Planes: Although all of the Darkness Master Gods under the Chief Sovereign of Darkness were born in the Higher Planes outside of the Infernal Realm, there was still the Silhouette Master God who was willing to follow him. As for the Chief Sovereign of Light? All of the Sovereigns of Light were born in the Higher Planes outside of the Divine Life Realm, but even the Demigod Sovereigns of Light who had just been born in the Heavenly Realm were unwilling to give a damn about him! After all, Orloff hadn't even been the Chief Sovereign of Fate back then, and the Celestial Realm hadn't even had a single Sovereign.
In terms of personal power, the Chief Sovereign of Darkness was a Paragon Sovereign. Although he was a Chief Sovereign of Laws, his power was comparable to that of the Chief Sovereign of the Edicts. He had even defeated the Chief Sovereign of Death in a one-on-one battle! As for the Chief Sovereign of Light? He was just an ordinary Chief Sovereign of the Laws. In front of any Chief Sovereign of the Edicts, he would have to bow down and submit, just like how a Middle Sovereign would bow down to a High Sovereign.
…In comparison, it seemed as if the Chief Sovereign of Light had been completely defeated by the Chief Sovereign of Darkness.
What did the Chief Sovereign of Light think of this?
Strength! It was all because of strength! If I were a Paragon Sovereign like Grayson and could fight against the Chief Sovereign of the Edicts, I definitely wouldn't be inferior to him! As long as I have the power of the Chief Sovereign of the Edicts, will that slut, Vivia, continue to reject me? Would a Sovereign of Light who has joined Orloff and the Chief Sovereign of Death still dare to give me a hard time? No, it wouldn't! As long as I have the strength, none of this will happen!
This was the first thought that came to the Chief Sovereign of Light's mind after he had personally guarded the Divine Light Plane and experienced the same desolation as the Chief Sovereigns of Lightning and Fire.
Thus, he began to pursue power even more madly. He spent practically every day training without rest, hoping to fuse all the profound mysteries of the Laws and reach the Paragon level.
But at this moment, it seemed that even the Overgods had abandoned him. This was because in the short five hundred years between the establishment of the Divine Light Plane and the birth of the Planar Battlefield, he hadn't even found the fusion point for the sixth profound mystery. The terrifying moment that all the Sovereigns called the 'Twilight Era' had arrived.
All of the Sovereigns 'comprehension of the profound mysteries and laws had become blurry. If the profound mysteries of the Laws were like the ocean, and the Sovereigns were like fish swimming in the ocean at the start, then right now, the school of fish seemed to have been wrapped in a giant plastic bag. Although they could still see the scenery of the ocean through the transparent bag, it was no longer clear, and they couldn't directly touch it!
To all Sovereigns who had yet to become Paragons, this was the most terrifying nightmare!
The Chief Sovereign of Light had almost been driven mad, and he had almost been forced to fight the Chief Sovereign of Earth, who had been fighting him to vent his anger.
After returning to the Divine Light Plane, he had tried all sorts of methods, but none of them were able to restore his clear understanding of the profound mysteries of the Laws.
Just as he was about to collapse in despair, a piece of heavenly news came. The power of faith could help Sovereigns cultivate, and it could even help Sovereigns become Paragons! Along with the news, there was another successful example-the Lord of Darkness! The unknown Master God who spread the news said to him with certainty and responsibility,"This fellow relied on the help of a huge amount of faith power to become a Paragon!”
After receiving this news, the Chief Sovereign of Light went mad. He immediately sent out all of his armies and emissaries to those countless material planes to crazily plunder the power of faith for him. He had even projected his will into the material plane many times to help his army defeat the armies of other Main Gods.
It could be said that the Chief Sovereign of Light was the craziest of all the Sovereigns who had participated in this War of Faith. There was no other!
Many Sovereigns had formed grudges against him due to his unscrupulous methods of fighting for the power of belief. However, due to his Ruler strength, they did not erupt.
After all, although the Chief Sovereign of Light had gone mad, he wasn't stupid. The Chief Sovereign of the Edicts had already drawn out the boundaries of his influence, and the Chief Sovereign of Darkness wasn't directly involved. He wasn't stupid enough to overestimate his own abilities and provoke this group of ruthless people.
However, when facing other Law Sovereigns, he was much more unrestrained. He didn't care which Chief Sovereign of the Edicts stood behind these Sovereigns at all. In fact, he even directly clashed with the armies of several of the Law Sovereigns.
The Chief Sovereign of Light, whose eyes had already turned red from snatching the power of faith, didn't care at all about the number of enemies he made. All he cared about was how to occupy more material planes and gather more power of faith towards him.
And it was under these circumstances that something happened that caused the already crazed Chief Sovereign of Light to choose to directly enter the fray, becoming the first Sovereign to personally join the fray and no longer be the commander behind the scenes!
The fuse of the matter was a few Main Gods of the Heaven Realm Faction.(It has to be said that Orloff's rallying power was quite strong. After he became the Chief Sovereign of Fate, the originally missing Sovereigns of the Celestial Realm appeared one after another and gathered under him once again.) He couldn't stand the shameless method of the Chief Sovereign of Light's will projection descending to help his subordinates, so he secretly plotted to set up a trap in a certain material plane. Several Sovereigns 'armies ambushed the subordinates of the Chief Sovereign of Light and wiped them out, leaving the Chief Sovereign of Light unable to even rescue them in time.
As soon as this happened, the Chief Sovereign of Light immediately flew into a rage. This was because one of the Law Sovereigns who had plotted against him was the new Sovereign of Light who had ignored him back then. Now, all of his old and new grudges surged into his heart.
As the saying goes, anger comes from the heart and evil comes from the guts. The Chief Sovereign of Light, who could not vent his anger, was already tired of fighting small-scale battles by relying on his subordinates. He went all out and found an opportunity to kill the few Law Master Gods who had plotted against him when they left the Heavenly Realm!
Even though there were Middle Sovereigns among these Sovereigns, they were still unable to withstand a single blow from the Chief Sovereign of Light. Not a single one of them managed to escape, and they were all wiped out.
As a result, this matter was only exposed three days later. By then, the Chief Sovereign of Light had already made preparations to deal with everything.
This hunt had allowed the Chief Sovereign of Light to gain five Sovereign sparks of various types. One of them was at the Mid Level, while the other four were at the Demigod Level. Aside from the fire-type Lesser Sovereign spark, which he had chosen to let his divine clone refine, the remaining four Sovereign sparks were all given to his trusted subordinates, the Highgods, to refine.
With this, the Chief Sovereign of Light had gained four more Sovereigns to assist him, and one of them was even a Middle Sovereign!
When he learned that his subordinate had been killed by the Chief Sovereign of Light, even the good old Orloff was enraged. After all, aside from the four Sovereigns of Fate, this was the only thing he had left! Now that they were all killed, how could they not be angry?
Thus, Orloff went straight to the Chief Sovereign of Light, wanting to seek justice. But who would have thought that after the Chief Sovereign of Light fused with a fire-type Lesser Sovereign spark, he would gain an additional portion of Will, allowing him to survive Orloff's attacks and even successfully escape!
All the Sovereigns were in an uproar when they heard this news. Only now did they know that the method for a Sovereign to increase their strength was not only to train hard to become a Paragon, but also to have their divine clones refine a second Sovereign spark, increasing the power of their wills!
Instantly, when the Sovereign with the divine clone looked at the other Sovereigns who were weaker than him, his eyes had an indescribable light in them.
The Chief Sovereign of Light was the first Sovereign known to all Sovereigns to have two Sovereign clones, but he was destined not to be the last.
Very soon, the other Sovereigns who had grudges against each other began to kill each other. There was naturally no need to talk about those who were unlucky enough to be killed and have their Sovereign sparks stolen. However, those who were lucky enough to survive would naturally have to call upon their friends to avenge themselves.
As a result, both parties were trying to rope in the Main Gods they were usually on good terms with, wanting to use the human wave tactic to defeat their opponents. The end result was that the chaos became more and more intense, and more and more Main Gods were dragged into it. Even the Main Gods of Laws, who had been watching from the sidelines and not participating in the War of Faith, were not spared. After all, who didn't have a friend?
Now that things had developed to this stage, only the four Chief Sovereigns of the Edicts and the Chief Sovereign of Darkness, who was at the same level of power, could remain unharmed. The reason was naturally because they were too powerful. No Master God dared to provoke them, and similarly, no Master God could drag them down with them.
Even the Chief Sovereign of Fate, Orloff, who had been chasing after the Chief Sovereign of Light, had managed to withdraw in time as the chaos began to rise. However, no one knew if this seemingly friendly little old man had been secretly watching the Chief Sovereign of Light, waiting for an opportunity to give him a cold, vicious blow.
The Chief Sovereigns of the Edicts didn't participate, but they also didn't have any intention of ending the chaos. Perhaps they wanted to take advantage of the situation to weaken their opponents.
As for the Chief Sovereign of the Edicts, the Chief Sovereign of Destruction, who had the greatest power, was being targeted by the other three factions. The Sovereigns under the command of the three Higher Planes, under the orders of their bosses, would either intentionally or unintentionally coerce the Sovereigns of the Divine Planes into attacking the Sovereigns of the Infernal Faction again and again.
Unfortunately, the Heaven Realm was too weak and could not contribute much. It was not wrong to say that the Life Immortal Realm and the Netherworld had joined forces. Furthermore, the Sovereigns weren't fools. They wouldn't be foolish enough to become cannon fodder. As a result, even the Sovereigns of the Higher Planes didn't put in any effort, much less the Sovereigns of the Divine Planes who had been coerced.
As for the Sovereigns of the Infernal Realm, they were united against the enemy. In terms of high-level combat power, not only did they have the invincible Chief Sovereign of Destruction, but they also had the Chief Sovereign of Darkness, who was even more powerful than the Chief Sovereign of Death, helping them out. Their morale was even higher than the other three factions combined.
Thus, even though the Infernal Realm was facing off against all the Main Gods, they weren't actually at a disadvantage. They were basically evenly matched.
