The situation in the material world has fallen into an embarrassing situation.
If past inertia is followed, when the first gods appear in the material world, the gods will start a civil war mode, start fighting for faith, and launch a series of divine wars in the material world.
But not now.
The reason is simple.
Previously, the God of Death had promised recognition, ensuring that the forerunners would not oppress the latecomers and would ensure the advancement of everyone.
Nowadays, the foreign enemies originating from the wizarding world have receded. Because of his previous achievements in saving the gods and defending the material world, the God of Death has a faint tendency to become the head of the gods.
But if the conditions he promised before are not fulfilled and the gods are allowed to conquer the material world, then the prestige that was finally established will be in vain.
Therefore, no matter from which aspect, he cannot allow the divine war to start in the world of gods, and must stop it.
But if you want to stop this, it is not enough to forcefully suppress it.
Forcibly suppressing and suppressing those forerunners with force may be effective in the short term, but in the long run it will cause considerable hidden dangers, and it will be detrimental to the God of Death himself.
Therefore, this choice is not a last resort and the God of Death will never make it.
Therefore, how to coordinate the contradictions between the parties and how to make the conflict between the forerunners and the latecomers less acute is the first problem that the God of Death is currently facing, and it is also what he must face if he wants to become the King of the Gods.
The first challenge.
However, the God of Death has already been prepared for this.
In the material world, leading the resurrected gods, the God of Death began to expand on a large scale.
The contradictions in the world of gods begin with the struggle for faith.
The number of believers in the entire material world is limited. If you have more believers, I will have fewer believers.
It is precisely for this reason that the relationship between the gods is not harmonious and they are competitors.
If you want to prevent the gods from competing, you must satisfy the gods' need for faith so that they have enough believers.
In the eyes of the God of Death, this problem is not too difficult.
Just make the cake bigger.
In order to satisfy the basic needs of all gods for faith, it is not enough to rely solely on believers in the material world.
But since this is the case, then it is enough to increase the number of believers in the material world.
The land in the material world is very vast. Even though it has existed for so long, a lot of the land is still not occupied by people. In other words, although there are living creatures, the utilization efficiency is not very high.
Past experience tells the God of Death that the same piece of land can support different populations.
In primitive times, an extremely large amount of land may be needed to satisfy a tribe, but with the advancement and explosion of productivity, more and more products are produced on a piece of land, and the population that can be supplied will continue to increase.
And this trend of change is often the criterion for judging whether a civilization is advanced enough.
However, at this moment, in the entire material world, due to the past conquests between the gods and some reasons brought about by faith, there are not many civilized and advanced areas in the material world. Instead, they are occupied by wild and barren areas.
Most of it.
Even in those areas with advanced civilization, the productivity in them may not be that strong in the eyes of the God of Death. It can only be said to be better than other places.
Commonly known as ** rotten.
The existence of this phenomenon is undoubtedly extremely detrimental to population reproduction.
Especially in some areas, there is even slavery, where precious people are openly sacrificed.
In the past, no one thought about changing. It was not that no one saw it, but that the gods were involved in each other and held each other back, which was the result.
Those who want to change are powerless, and those who have the ability already have vested interests and have no motivation to change at all.
But now that the God of Death is here, the situation is somewhat different.
The situation in the material world before us has reached a point where it cannot be changed without change.
Unless, the God of Death is willing to overturn his promise.
This is possible, but the God of Death will never do it unless it is absolutely necessary.
In response to the situation in the material world, the God of Death led the gods and began to actively take action.
In various aspects, they began to make changes.
The gods themselves took action and intervened on mortals, and the speed of change was extremely fast.
Under the illumination of the divine power of the gods, the entire material world began to slowly change. Ancient and obsolete empires continued to collapse, and new empires continued to be established and collapsed.
On the earth, various high-yielding crops were discovered and put into use, which greatly alleviated the food pressure and the population began to increase in number.
At the same time, the development of wild areas has also promoted the growth of population in the material world.
The population of the entire material world has increased several times in just a few thousand years, which is enough to meet the needs of the gods for recovery.
At this time, the God of Death also used his own prestige to hold the second regular meeting of the gods.
The first regular meeting of the gods was when Adil and other ancient wizards invaded the material world.
At that time, the gods were threatened by wizards, so they came one after another to seek protection from the God of Death.
But this time, the regular meeting of the gods was held again, relying on the prestige of the God of Death himself.
After thousands of years of hard work, the God of Death's prestige has been further enhanced. While the population of the material world is multiplying, he has gained control of many key authorities and gained more support from the material world.
It can be said that after thousands of years of hard work and preparation, the prestige of the God of Death is now no less than that of the former King of the Sun.
Compared with the former King of the Sun, there is no one who can compete with him in today's material world.
All the gods are newly born, and their strength is at a low ebb. They dare not disobey the orders of the God of Death.
Facing his call, the gods came one after another without much hesitation.
At this meeting of the gods, under the witness of the gods, the God of Death established several principles.
There are many contents in it, but there are only two really key and specific ones.
First, believers of the gods are not allowed to perform blood sacrifices or adopt any rituals and sacrifices that use intelligent creatures to sacrifice. Anyone who violates this rule will be labeled as an evil god, and the gods will jointly attack them.
The second is to allow believers to believe in multiple gods together, and their beliefs are no longer unique.
In the past, a person who believed in the Sun King could no longer believe in the Earth Goddess, but now this situation has changed.
An ordinary mortal may not only believe in the God of Death, but he may also believe in other gods.
Faith is no longer unique.
This change may not seem good, but it is actually a means to liberate believers.
Believers who can believe in multiple gods cannot be devout believers of a certain god. Even if they are not allowed to believe in other gods at the same time, their belief in the original god may not be so pious, and the supply of power of faith may not be so pious.
There can't be many.
But if it is allowed to believe in multiple gods, it can provide the power of faith to multiple gods at the same time, which invisibly increases resource utilization.
At the same time, this also gives those weak gods a way to survive.
There are strong and weak powers among the gods, and the powers they hold are also different.
There are many gods whose priesthoods and powers are too niche, and their followers are destined to be few and far between.
In the past, when a believer could only believe in one god, there were bound to be fewer followers of such gods, and they were simply unable to compete with those powerful gods.
But if believers are allowed to believe in multiple gods at the same time, then the situation will undoubtedly be much better.
At least after believers have more choices, the chances of these weak gods will be greatly improved.
In addition to these two, there are actually many smaller regulations, but these are the only two that really have an impact on the gods.
After reaching a consensus with the gods and jointly formulating the laws of the gods, the prestige of the God of Death increased again invisibly.
The reason is simple.
Law enforcement power.
If you want to conscientiously implement these two rules, you will naturally need monitors and enforcers.
As the currently looming head of the gods, and as the initiator of the meeting of the gods, the God of Death automatically possesses these two rights, and his deterrent effect on the gods has naturally become stronger.
And this is also one of the purposes for the God of Death to take the initiative to convene a meeting of the gods.
In the days that followed, the material world gradually fell into calm.
The gods lurked silently, began to cultivate in their respective regions, and slowly restored their own strength.
But for those beings under the gods, the material world seems extremely lively.
The regulations formulated by the meeting of gods have a certain restrictive effect on the gods, but the impact on those beings under the gods is even more terrifying.
In the material world, there are many legendary strong men, and even some demigods have the habit of asking believers to make blood sacrifices in order to gain power.
This is one of the ways to obtain power. After all, demigods are not real gods, and the sources of power are far from that wide.
Therefore, in the material world, many demigods use blood sacrifice as their main means to obtain power.
At this moment, as soon as the regulations of the Conference of Gods came out, many such beings were directly labeled as evil gods.
In the material world, the priests of the God of Death continued to take action, killing such existences one after another.
If they were demigods, they would even have artifacts, and even some incarnations of gods would personally take action against them.
For a moment, these existences can be described as extremely miserable.
The severity of the blow and the terror of the power were something those evil beings had never imagined.
As this kind of blow continued, the atmosphere of the entire material world became purified in a short period of time, making it appear much purer.
In this atmosphere, the God of Death also began to prepare new actions.
