Bad news always comes with wings.
Looking at the old acquaintance Gan Qianyun, whose body was twisted and transformed, and still carried the aura of flames, Lu Ping’an also sighed a bit.
Back when he participated in the Domineering Three Faces’ martial fight conference, this person was still a prominent emcee, a big shot in Lu Ping’an’s eyes.
But now, this eighth-tier Great Priest, weakened and almost lifeless, still holds strong, and his manner of greeting Lu Ping’an makes Lu sigh at the changes of the world.
"What did Domineering Three Faces say?"
"Lost, accepted it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ping’an couldn’t help but laugh; it was indeed a response fitting the style of Martial God.
However, for those under his command who were involved, it might not be a good thing.
His defeat was somewhat unexpected yet reasonable.
After all, the big tree draws the wind; it expanded too quickly as an outsider and was an aggressive Martial God, with individual strength strong enough to tear... when these "advantageous factors" became the "greatest threat," being beaten out was not surprising at all.
"Three forces of Deities on the same level as My Lord, and they are fairly old players. During the war period, we did not see the appearance of their forces ending..."
This is undoubtedly bad news. The deities of the world might already have the consensus to expel foreign competitors first.
"Is he still there?"
"Still there." This undoubtedly shows that although Domineering Three Faces was seriously injured, he hasn’t faced the reality of death.
Therefore, he should still be able to traverse the stars and return to his homeland.
However, some things cannot be returned.
"Did you stay behind...?"
"We chose this willingly... some unwillingly, some have no choice."
The deities of this world are in a "physical state," and entering this world, Domineering Three Faces also transformed from the Ark of God form into a "demi-human" form.
His strength undoubtedly increased significantly, but his "scale" reduced dramatically, with the watered-down parts originating from the planet’s investment naturally dissipating.
His "total" has certainly greatly decreased, which was only to expel the fat. If able to grow steadily in this world, replenishing the quantity wouldn’t be a problem and would actually significantly increase his upper limit.
But now, he must abandon this world and revert to the Divine Boat.
Even with almost no consumption at the same scale, those washed-out watered-down components wouldn’t return, and the total reduction directly means the "Divine Boat’s" carrying capacity is greatly lowered.
Adding the local trained newcomers, starting from zero with the Beastmen legion, the most troublesome are those demigods selected for evolution... if they weren’t earth’s demigods before, it means they lack the Divine Boat form, implying they cannot traverse the universe.
Contrary to the washed-out Proper Gods, these demigods’ "total" in this world increased significantly.
They occupy more of the ticket quota, and so, the "return ticket" for Domineering Three Faces is certainly insufficient, potentially leaving most behind as the real outcome.
And not leaving... those assassins likely won’t grant an opportunity for revenge or a second rise.
Thus, dispersing some is inevitable...
"Some of the companions, My Lord is willing to entrust to your command... during the period staying in this world."
No words of "borrowing tickets" were spoken; Lu Ping’an is actually in the same situation, if he wins, everything is fine, if he loses, even the tickets are insufficient for himself.
And if intending to remain here, changing allegiances might be the only choice.
Most of the Beastmen are easy to settle, yet some senior professionals are quite intricate... Lu Ping’an’s style is likely the only "contract" solution for entry.
For other deities, since you relied on me, naturally you must fully believe in us and serve us.
Given past friendly relations, even relatively distanced, Gan Qianyun and some others are still willing to come over and rely.
Lu Ping’an agrees without hesitation, having no reason to refuse such free talents.
Here, they are experiencing a shortage of mid-level backbones.
Simultaneously, acquiring significant knowledge and profession from the Martial God Church... this encompasses years of their accumulation and development.
Once agreed, the subsequent atmosphere of conversation lightened significantly.
Lu Ping’an didn’t require them to abandon past beliefs... his "trade principle" is quite appeasing in this regard, not needing excessive devotees.
And for Gan Qianyun and these "fallen dogs," it’s a rare redemption, with other forces not refusing allegiance but devotion being a primary premise.
In casual talks, Lu Ping’an learned that after the dispersal of the Martial God forces, most people were left behind, and then directly scattered.
After all, they mostly didn’t want to rely on the planned assassins of the three big shots, fleeing was inevitable, and forces of such scale, nearby medium and small deities couldn’t accommodate.
Scattered movement and dispersed reliance result in the highest survival rate for them.
"Seven hundred at the outset, foreseeably twelve thousand later? Okay, we can accept that."
While they are quite distant, transporting a few hundred people with flying vehicles is the limit, and subsequent visitors would require sending people over.
Of course, it’s not entirely good news; it might attract many troubles onto Lu Ping’an, possibly even long-distance pursuit for assassination.
However, this "gift" is worth the price.
"Chris, can you modify the main path of Fighter line? In the ’Hero’ profession, incorporate more..."
All sorts of knowledge and experience for Lu Ping’an are broad but not deep, having many paths but lacking depth and breadth compared to specific research into a single path.
The "Hero" profession is quite useful, besides having Heroic Soul traits, most abilities are passive, especially adept at various fighting abilities.
But as a battle-profession, Lu Ping’an indeed lacks accumulation in combat capabilities.
The most straightforward example is an eighth-tier Fighter, with pathways, professional skills, combat experience, cultivation records left behind being this Church’s wealth... possibly an old Church has hundreds of such top-level experience forming their "accumulation."
All might be above rule-level Fighters, with several to dozens of variants, the more mastery-focused an old Church is on a particular path, the more options they provide relevant professionals, elevating their upper limit.
Whereas Lu Ping’an has only a scant few evolution paths.
If able to gain knowledge and accumulation from Martial God Church this time, naturally can complete the supplement.
Normally such a Church’s highest secret, the founding basis of that deity’s nation... but Proper God Domineering Three Faces is already destined to become history, even if successfully returning home, it might take long for recovery, maintaining the Proper God position is absolutely untenable.
This "inheritance" is destined to be shared by the earth’s Gods of this world.
For other old Gods, it’s merely filling certain flaws; whereas for Lu Ping’an lacking senior professions and top battle-profession knowledge, it’s a significant time-saving tonic.
"Uh, now I’m somewhat expecting other earth Gods to fail and flee..."
Indeed, bad news arrives consecutively.
