Chapter 191 Dividing the World in Two
The Fallen God is a colossal true god connected to the Chaos Sea. He is fully capable of suppressing the Eternal Sun and even has the power to restrain another true god.
The Night and the God of War are keeping each other in check and have not yet participated in this matter.
Solomon, Medici, and Urolius—these are the three kings of the angels!
The dioceses of the Eternal Sun Church simply couldn't withstand the pressure.
While watching the drama unfold in the Kingdom of Constantine, Chael received a letter from the Solomon family.
The Solomon family and the forces of the Fallen God are willing to support the Kingdom of Constant in attacking the parish of the Lord of Storms.
The bargaining chip in the letter was quite simple: as the angel King Constantine, didn't the elves want to regain control of the angel island (Sonia Island)?
Moreover, the elves and the Church of Storms are natural enemies, and their paths naturally clash.
"Heh~"
Why don't you just say the world is divided in two?
Xia'er laughed when he received the letter, but he still decided to take action because if he didn't intervene, the possibility of the True Creator and the Solomon family uniting the Northern Continent was slim.
Even if the six gods have great conflicts, they are still six deities. You, Solomon, are just an angel king. You can expand your territory while consolidating your rule over the occupied areas and building the new order that gods need.
While guarding against the counterattack of the Six Gods Church and constantly splitting them, he also had to spare the energy and time to become a god.
Isn't this treating Liushen like an idiot?
If you don't rebel, you won't be able to perform the ascension ceremony under the Eternal Sun.
Even if you rebel, you still need to suppress the Six Gods Church to expand its territory while establishing an empire, making the people of the empire associate you with the title of emperor, and also build the new order needed to become a god.
Xia Er couldn't understand how the Black Emperor Solomon became a god in the original timeline without her. It didn't make sense; it must have been a bit of luck.
Solomon could not become king without relying on the gods, because the six gods plus the true creator were all in the northern continent. It was too chaotic here. Without relying on the gods and the church, it was impossible to put together a decent kingdom. There were parishes of the seven gods everywhere.
Becoming a king by siding with a deity means being unable to become an emperor. No church can tolerate its own king wanting to rise above the church, and no deity can accept having a black emperor in their parish who is equal to or even more powerful than themselves.
Six Gods would almost never allow such a thing to happen on their territory.
The true creator might be able to accept it, but at most he could only be a king. There was absolutely no way he could become an emperor in the true creator's territory; he would be targeted by the Fengzhi Baisan family.
How could the Black Emperor's ascension ceremony, the Lord of Storms, and the Eternal Sun, former confidants of the White Emperor, be completely unaware of it? How could the wise dragon, who wields omniscience, be completely oblivious?
The Black Emperor's rituals could not be kept secret. To establish a completely new order, Solomon's preferred style seemed to emphasize distortion and disharmony, which made it even more attention-grabbing.
Having one's own country, linking one's name with the title of emperor, and making it common knowledge among the people, is equally striking.
The others in the Fourth Age operated in the form of parishes and states. The church was in charge of different regions, and the relatives of the church leaders were the local nobles. Because of the conflicts between the various churches, this non-unified system was more convenient. Today you take away one of my parishes, tomorrow I will take away one of yours.
If all six gods were to unify the same territory, wouldn't that hinder the church from missionary work and territorial expansion in other areas?
All areas of the Northern Continent are loosely united by churches, which facilitates cooperation or conflict between churches based on their regions. When the Eternal Sun Diocese and the Church of the Storm Lord in the north cooperate, it doesn't prevent the dioceses of the two churches in the south from beating each other senseless.
Because each territory is a small, fragmented area, the Six Gods Church can operate throughout the entire Northern Continent.
The current Six Gods do not need the concept of a country. The country is actually a constraint on the church. They can travel around preaching, so why should they be confined to one place?
Only the Solomon family has always been thinking about unification and expansion. Such a contrast, such an anomaly, and they still want to keep Liu Shen from knowing the true purpose of the Solomon family?
In this situation, in this power struggle, how can the "imperial power" rise and suppress the "ecclesiastical power" in a short period of time?
This is somewhat disrespectful to the intelligence of the other six gods.
At least from the perspective of the Solomon family, Xia Er believed that he could never reach such a high position.
This may be because he doesn't understand politics, doesn't understand corrupt emperors, doesn't understand how to distort checks and balances, and doesn't understand how to engage in corruption, bribery, or scheming.
But in this era where gods coexisted and spirits roamed the earth, the Solomon family persevered and cultivated this difficult path for many years, becoming the first god of the new generation.
Furthermore, through an alliance with the fallen god, the rift between the six gods, and the support of extraordinary nobles, they actually managed to unify the Northern Continent.
It would allow the Six Gods to acknowledge its rule and relocate the Six Gods' "Earth Kingdom" to a more barren region.
Chael admitted that his political wisdom was insufficient to achieve this level of influence, not even through subtle influence or gradual erosion of the Church of the Six Gods. The fact that the First Solomon Empire lasted for approximately 300 years was an incredibly sophisticated method of checks and balances.
The Fallen God was probably able to take on two opponents at once, and Solomon, after gaining power, might also be able to take on two opponents at once, given the vast territory of his empire and the special nature of the real-world gods. Theoretically, he could achieve this level of feat.
However, Xia'er didn't know how to gain momentum. Becoming a god was already difficult, and even after becoming a god and forming an alliance between the two gods, they would still have to maintain the rift between the six gods.
It's even more difficult to prevent the six gods from forming an alliance.
In theory, there is a chance as long as there are not three or more gods forming an alliance at the same time, and the possibility of manipulation is also very high, but Xia'er still feels that it is very unreliable.
If he were the Black Emperor, he would acknowledge the legitimate status of the Fallen God, making him the first-order deity of the Northern Continent. He would also elevate the Church of the Earth Mother to the position of the state religion, and then allow the Church of the God of War and the Church of the Goddess of Night to freely spread their faith throughout the Northern Continent.
However, we must respect the faith in the fallen God and the status of the state religion of the Earth Church.
As for Feng, Zhi, and Bai?
They'll blacklist them directly, preventing them from proselytizing.
If you disagree, let's fight. It would be best if we could drive them out of the Northern Continent and force Feng, Zhi, and Bai to the Southern Continent and the Death God's Scroll.
Wouldn't it be fair to have four gods from the Northern Continent and four gods from the Southern Continent?
"What I can understand, the politically astute Solomon family has no reason not to understand."
"Isn't this just an attempt to win over the Earth Church?"
"As for why the original timeline couldn't be won over, who knows?"
After Xia Er finalized his plan to divide the world in two, he dragged the Earth Pope out of the church and took him to find the Earth Mother Goddess.
Shael made his position clear: if the Earth Mother was unwilling to get too involved, he would declare war on the Storm Parish in the name of the Kingdom of Constant and the Elven race. Considering the existence of the Lord of Storms, it wouldn't matter if they didn't go to war; they could just keep the Storm Parish occupied.
"You think I'm afraid of Leodorus?"
Upon hearing this, the Earth Mother's gentle expression softened.
