Lara ran happily in the dense forest with Alexia on her back. The Ancient Tree of Life had countless rhizomes running through the earth around it, creating a miniature forest in and of itself. It was also a sacred place for elves, rangers, and druids.

The holy unicorn treaded lightly as the skirt of the elven girl on her back fluttered in the wind. That was a true elf under the moon. Her laughter was like silver bells, beautiful and fantastical.

Louie and Selune also followed in step. The two did not walk fast, but no matter how quickly Lara ran, the two were still following close behind. Together, they looked at the elven girl with eyes full of tenderness.

“Even if she is born with knowledge, she is still just a child, curious about everything in this world.”

Louie spoke with a soft tone. His gaze followed Alexia’s petite body while he spoke to the Silver Moon Goddess beside him.

Alexia possessed a lot of knowledge, but this was not from her own memory. It was the same as people on the internet who enjoyed the scenery and photos that other people shared. However, knowing was different from experiencing things by one’s self.

This was the case with Alexia. She could only fully understand people and objects and relate them with things in her mind if she saw them in person.

“She is not an ordinary child, and this kind of childhood fun will not last long.”

The Silver Moon Goddess spoke in a light and elegant tone. There was no guilt in her words at her child’s inability to enjoy her childhood, but rather she took it for granted.

Gods could spoil their children, but it was different from how mortals spoiled their children for no reason. If Alexia could not show her value, Selune would still care about her, but she would not always keep her eye on her.

Mortals had children to continue on their lineage and their instincts were to reproduce, but for the gods, they did not need to have any heirs. Their children were there to be a continuation of their philosophy, a tool, or perhaps even a prop for their resurrection.

Gods were such cruel beings that did not have the three views on morality. For example, Sisna was adopted by Selune, but it was done for Selune’s plans, to allow herself to resurrect.

She could not be blamed for being heartless as this was the nature of all gods.

“You are right. Alexia will not be able to play like a real child. Once she perceives all things corresponding to her knowledge, it will be time for her to show her true value.”

Louie nodded in response. Although it was a little twisted, he was already seeing and solving problems in the way a god did.

“I believe in Your Highness Louie’s ability to teach Alexia well. You are far superior to me in ruling over mortals.”

The Silver Moon Goddess said sincerely.

Gods were not omnipotent. Each god specialized in different areas, and the vast majority of them did not have any talent in leadership. If they lost their divine power, they could become ordinary kings, but they might not necessarily be able to do better than mortal kings.

On the other hand, Selune had always watched the development of Dragon City. In just a few short years, Louie had developed the territory to a high standard. Even if it was unknown where Louie obtained material support, his concept of governance and philosophy were definitely beyond the level of civilization in this world.

The Terran Civilization calling this world a group of barbarians was not a mistake, but in the development of arts and mystical power, the Terrans could not compare. That said, in other aspects, San Soliel could not even beat Earth, let alone the Terran Civilization.

“Please rest assured of this point, Your Highness Selune. I have already passed on all my knowledge to Alexia. She is the crystallization of both of our excellence. I believe that she would be able to comprehend it and perfect the management of our territories and believers.”

Louie responded with a slight nod of his head.

“I also believe that Alexia could do better. I believe that the elven race would become more vitalized under her leadership. With her here, I can safely put down all matters of the main continent and focus on the threat that other gods pose. As long as the number of elves in the community doubles, I will have enough believers and can also train more gods in the elven system.”

The Silver Moon Goddess spoke lightly as if she was able to visualize the day she would become one of the strongest gods with the same might as the previous elven god.

A god’s power depended not only on its own power but also on the number of its allies and the total number of gods in its divine system.

So, when there were too many believers, it did not bring much power to them in maintaining the basic number of believers. They would need to configure their system optimally. For example, when the elven population doubled, the Silver Moon Goddess would only need half while the other half could become the believer of a different god under the same system. This was the best way to cultivate gods.

“The population of Dragon City is also close to saturation. With the special crops I brought, Dragon City can reach complete self-sufficiency soon. Once I completely step into the world of the gods, I can use the divine authority of the earth to cultivate priests who will use divine magic to increase the yield of food.”

“If that happens, there would probably be a surplus of food even if the Silver Moon Kingdom was also given a share. Since selling food is not a good trade, I decided—”

Before Louie could finish, the Silver Moon Goddess cut him off, “You want to expand your territory?”

“Exactly.”

Louie smiled and nodded, “For me, the population of Dragon City can no longer guarantee the total number of my believers. In the future, I may also create more subordinate gods, so having a sufficient population is a must.”

“I am going to expand south of Dragon City and occupy all territory directly in the coastline. There are various tribes living primitive lives in this land. With enough material resources at hand, I can give them civilization, so that they could become more of my believers.

“Moreover, the Kingdom of Selar and the Kingdom of Danbusil are preparing in secret to invade Dragon City. This also gives me enough reason to counterattack and occupy the land of these two countries. If I succeed, I will be able to establish a new empire in the south of the continent. With my covenant with you, the entire southern part of the continent will be under both of our controls.”

Louie pointed his finger at a map made of divine power to appear. Louie pointed at the entire southern continent with a gaze full of great ambition.

As long as his plans succeeded, the number of believers would be enough to make him a high-tier god. Louie would even have enough to establish his own divine system.

“The only problem I have is that when the territory grows too big, the faith would be mixed with impurities. Other gods would definitely intervene and compete with me for a portion of the faith.”

Louie lightly sighed. At the moment, Dragon City was the only territory that he possessed. He could make the territory belong to him and believe in him, but once the territory expanded to tens of millions of people, then he would not be able to make everyone believe in him. The gods would certainly intervene and try to take some faith. This was part of the agreement between gods. Any god who defied this agreement would become an enemy of all the gods. They were certain to die.

This was the best way to explain what happened to Shae.

Only the god of gods could completely unify the gods and become the unique king. However, they had never appeared in history. It was only a theoretical existence that countless powerful gods tried to become.

This was also Louie’s ultimate goal!

“The Kingdoms of Selar and Danbusil are actually going to make a move against Dragon City?”

The Silver Moon Goddess’s lips opened, and her eyes flashed with surprise. She obviously did not know this information. Seeing this Louie secretly sighed. Shae’s intelligence network and mastery over secrets was a powerful talent that could make her be called the most dangerous existence among the gods.

“Is it because of Noella?”

Selune frowned. She also knew that Noella had been fooled by Shae a thousand years ago and caused chaos on the main continent. At that time, the gods were gone, and most of the demigods were in hiding. A dragon close to the demigod level was already a natural disaster for mortals. The ancestors of Selar and Danbusil both died under Noella’s dragon breath and even their capital was overturned.

“This is just an excuse because the two countries have the support of the Church of the Goddess of Magic and the Goddess of Earth behind them, they dared to launch an invasion against Dragon City. Noella just became an excuse for the war. Without Noella, they would just find other excuses.”

Hearing Louie’s words, the Silver Moon Goddess gave him a surprised look, wondering where Louie obtained his information. He not only knew that two countries with which he had no contact were going to wage war against him, but he also knew the people backing them.

This kind of agreement between the church and the kingdoms should have been done with absolute secrecy and would not be leaked out.

As long as Louie does not say it, Selune would never imagine that her most hated sister was now hiding in Dragon City and even had a covenant with her lover.

“The Goddess of Magic Mismisella and the Mother Earth Goddess Chauntea… Please rest assured, as your ally, I will stand firmly with you and face them together.”

Seeing the Silver Moon Goddess still have unwavering faith in him, Louie was also joyful.

It must be known that since Selune had fallen this low, it would be an unwise decision to make enemies with any of the powerful gods, but the Silver Moon Goddess was also worthy of the most ancient goddess. She was bold and did not care about making enemies with any god after having the possibility of reaching high-tier divine power again.

“The current Goddess of Magic is the reincarnation of the third generation. The first two generations of the Goddess of Magic have completely fallen… This generation of Goddess of Magic has a relatively mild personality and is not as intense and acerbic as the first two, so I still prefer her… Also, I have an old grudge against the Goddess of Magic, so I will do my best to help you.”

Selune smiled with the moonlight, but a faint bloodlust also came from her.

“You and the Goddess of Magic have an old grudge?”

Louie asked curiously.

“The first Goddess of Magic is the child of Shae and me …”

The Silver Moon Goddess’ words made Louie freeze.

What? Aren’t you both women? And then you still have children? Should I expect no less from the gods?
