"Boom! Boom!"
The entire world faintly heard thunderous roars and loud explosions.
And for those observers who saw the mushroom clouds, it was perhaps a more direct response.
The Plane War broke out without any warning... especially in areas possessing the "Rule Holy Land," directly becoming battlefields for True Gods to make their moves.
Originally, the Gods’ chess game, the orderly "upgrade game," had completely transformed into a bloody and cruel arena.
Those ancients, one by one, had all joined the battlefield, no longer holding back... Some were eager to enter the Heavenly Realm, some began consolidating the Deity Legion, and some directly acted against their neighbors.
Lu Ping’an’s side remained relatively stable.
Because this was originally a "rural area," occupying the fringe, and as he had just arrived, he hadn’t occupied much rule environment and Territory, immediately starting to "neutralize."
And after defeating the Spider God, the surrounding areas, which originally had no Strongman, turned those formerly peaceful neighbors into barriers....
"Are those ’barriers’ now at war?"
The "impression of being poor yet strong"... is the primary reason Lu Ping’an could stay out of the way initially, but once the victors around decide, and a grand lord emerges among the Little Lords, they will naturally come knocking.
The original peace proclamation seemed to become a joke, but on Lu Ping’an’s side as the "Peace God," each day he felt himself growing stronger and stronger.
"During times of war, the Peace God would instead receive more yearning and faith, what a hellish joke...."
Lu Ping’an is the God of Life, and his main Divine Position is the thing Fei’er inherited, that duality of "war" and "peace."
In this era of sudden Plane Wars, what people long for most... what the entire world most needs, is instead peace, and on the other hand, the continuous occurrence of acts of war also makes the aspect of his War God even more prominent.
"Are you doing this on purpose? It seems once the war starts, you will definitely become stronger..."
"War God is a large category, not only am I benefitting, I’m just following the seniors...."
In this aspect, the Victory Goddess, who is not a War God but far surpasses one, is perhaps the best example.
The concept of war becoming a Main God Level Divine Position is naturally due to its necessity.
And if a real Plane burns fiercely, then the war-related deities will also receive significant strengthening. Fellows include concepts like "revenge," "victory," "hope," and "desire."
These composite priesthoods are quite rare in this world with a large number of "illiterates," thus allowing outsiders to catch a bargain.
Unknowingly, the Courtyard grows slowly every moment, and the earth originally connected beneath has become more and more "courtyard-ized."
Originally, the Ark was parked above this world like flowers inserted into a flowerpot; your maximum growth capacity had already been limited.
But now, all chains naturally disappeared, the earth directly devoured and Fused, acting against the earth was now exceedingly easy.... "The dead" will not resist.
Lu Ping’an’s Legion didn’t start a war, but actually, his war gains increased daily; in other worlds, there is no such "fertile" rule-regulated land to allow the Courtyard to Fuse and Devour and it was because Lu Ping’an’s main body broke free from the shackles of growth that the Courtyard was able to expand so crazily.
"The Legion has completed reorganization, do we need to act..."
Chris’s meaning was already completed reorganization of several legions.
Among them, two war legions had submitted reports numerous times.
Most conspicuously, the Little Flame’s Burning Legion... despite having solved the problem of life force loss, they who naturally crave burning life wouldn’t miss the battlefield.
Additionally, the machinery Legion had completed mechanized war machines, Hua Xueyi, Fang Wen, and Zhi Xi were all ready and waiting.
"Take action, send the machinery Legion to mediate, tell them to stop."
Meditate? In this era of Plane War? In this era when even the neighbor’s dog’s brain is beaten up, to mediate between the deadlocked parties?
"Aren’t you worried they might gang up on you... oh, is this what you wanted?"
"Having a justified reason is extremely important."
"Even in Chaos Times?"
"Especially in Chaos Times."
The development of events indeed unfolded as expected, Lu Ping’an’s "goodwill" was despised and mocked, the Messenger was forced back, and the trade caravans on exploration missions were further pillaged... they even looted the temporary station prepared during peacetime for the trade caravans, seized the relatively few goods there, and threw them into the War.
Hence, inevitably, the "battle for justice" broke out.
"Should we dispatch?"
"Unnecessary, let ’the kids’ try first."
Finally, the Burning Legion, bringing death, was dispatched.
On another front, the metallic "Peace Legion" also genuinely began to act as a mediator Messenger, attempting to bring peace to other war participants.
This time, "Water God Su Ke," who had previously expelled Lu Ping’an’s trade caravan personnel, lasted just twenty-four hours before directly declaring surrender.
And as the "Peace God," Lu Ping’an mercifully granted pardon and promised a Demigod position.
At critical moments, Lu Ping’an also needed to form a God Series.
"We need more losers, especially high-level ones....."
Don’t say, that Water God was not strong, but the rule environment within his Territory, Lu Ping’an had been eyeing it for a while.
"You never expected it to be so easy to soak in hot springs in the Otherworldly....."
Precious water resources, at the Water God’s place, could be casually waved to yield countless consumables, and this rule environment of water origin is exceptionally valuable.
It’s said that as long as you don’t die and are left in these hot springs, you can quickly be revived to full health.
Moreover, washing one’s flesh life here can greatly increase one’s "Recovery Power," even achieving the Purification of bodily poisoning and impurities.
"Self-healing" and "Purification" count as the most useful abilities in the Water system Extraordinary Ability... but they are less effective on deities because their proportions are too inflated, the increment in Recovery Power, the practical effect is not obvious.
"But for our Legion, it’s quite beneficial."
The Legion under Lu Ping’an, such as Beastmen, machinery, Beast Taming Group, etc., had significant logistics pressure and just needed this aspect of ability supplementation.
On another front, the "Gardener" was also a large water consumer, especially as various Magic Plants were rapidly growing.
Lu Ping’an and Chris remained quite restrained, yet the Demigods and Army Commanders under them began managing the War.
In a physical sense, they placated the surrounding neighbors... in less than half a month, Lu Ping’an’s side had three more Territories and rule environments, the efficiency of this mediation was exceedingly high.
And while Lu Ping’an was still considering how to develop next, a request for aid came from distant allies.
