Chapter 1069

There are advantages, and there are drawbacks.

The greatest drawback is having to rely on others' goodwill.

And any being who becomes a god, wasn't once towering above all on the Continent of Gods? Many gods simply dislike this feeling of dependence, so they'd rather travel alone.

Unless they belong to some powerful divine system.

Of course, ordinary gods who wish to join a divine system aren't even guaranteed acceptance.

Like A-Lun, a new god of the first tier who entered the powerful Fairy Divine System and became a disciple of the Fairy Lord—such a case is exceedingly rare.

So when the Goddess of Eternal Night decided to join Lin Yan's divine system, it was truly a monumental decision.

For other fourth-tier gods, it's simply impossible to join a divine system led by a fourth-tier god.

Yet the Goddess of Eternal Night spoke of it with casual ease, handling it with effortless grace.

That's her way of doing things—she dislikes deliberately emphasizing anything.

The Goddess of Eternal Night quickly opened the channel, then began collecting faith power.

But the Goddess of Eternal Night soon noticed that the faith power didn't enter the channel—instead…

It was siphoned away while still hovering in midair over the Continent of Gods!

But less than half a second later, all of that faith power returned.

The Goddess of Eternal Night didn't find it strange; she gripped the large mass of faith power in her hand, didn't even look at it, and prepared to shove it directly into her divine core.

Yet immediately, she sensed something was off.

Because the quantity of that large mass of faith power… seemed too much!

Not just a little too much.

But vastly too much!

"Huh?"

The Goddess of Eternal Night let out a soft exclamation, then sensed it more closely.

Quickly, the Goddess of Eternal Night sensed the exact amount of faith power within.

It was equivalent to… over five thousand high-grade divine stones!

Previously, from the Eternal Night Empire, her annual income amounted to barely over ten thousand high-grade divine stones—roughly a thousand per month.

Her monthly income already equaled more than ten months' worth of income from a great empire like the Star Fall Empire.

After joining Lin Yan's divine system and with the Eternal Night Empire merging into the Flame Empire, and the former citizens retaining dual faith, the Goddess of Eternal Night had expected her faith power to shrink drastically.

Not to mention the divine system's extraction—30% alone.

She didn't know that Lin Yan's divine system contract extracted 50%.

Even if calculated at 30%, her monthly income should have been below the faith power contained in seven hundred high-grade divine stones.

But…

Now it was over five thousand!

Not only hadn't it decreased—it had quintupled!

This left the Goddess of Eternal Night utterly baffled.

"Could the Lord have given me some of his own faith power?"

The Goddess of Eternal Night thought.

From the entire Eternal Night Empire, the maximum monthly income the Goddess of Eternal Night ever received was barely over a thousand high-grade divine stones.

This time, it was five thousand—equivalent to five times the income of the entire Eternal Night Empire.

"Does the Lord have several other great empires?"

The Goddess of Eternal Night thought again.

But five times the income of the Eternal Night Empire? That's not something an ordinary great empire could provide—and on the Continent of Gods, such great empires… all already have masters!

Still, in the Goddess of Eternal Night's mind, it must be that the Lord had given her a massive amount of faith power.

Though the thought moved her deeply, she decided to communicate with Lin Yan.

She wasn't actually short on faith power at all.

After all, she had completely plundered the accumulated faith of the Morning Star Divine System.

The Morning Star Divine System had no known nations before its divine capital, due to reckless manipulation of law fragments, was entirely annihilated by backlash from the Law Force—and the Goddess of Eternal Night could never locate any of its nations.

That divine system had hidden itself too well.

So well that after all its gods were collectively erased, not a single god in the Heavenly Realm even knew—leaving everything to the Goddess of Eternal Night by pure chance.

So the Goddess of Eternal Night possessed an enormous amount of high-grade divine stones.

Even the two million high-grade divine stones paid as compensation by those divine lords last time, she refused to take—she gave them all to Lin Yan.

The Goddess of Eternal Night entered that space and saw Lin Yan still burning law fragments; she hesitated to speak, afraid of disturbing him.

At that moment, Lin Yan's mental resonance came: "Nina, what is it?"

The Goddess of Eternal Night then said: "Lord, this time, Nina's collected faith power from the Eternal Night Empire suddenly increased several-fold. May I ask, Lord, did you give some of your faith power to Nina?"

"No, this is your normal income."

Lin Yan said calmly.

Hearing Lin Yan's words, the Goddess of Eternal Night remained utterly confused.

Yet she didn't press further.

Because she knew Lin Yan wouldn't lie to her.

At that moment, the Goddess of Eternal Night recalled the anomaly during faith collection.

"Could it be related to the divine system contract?"

The Goddess of Eternal Night thought.

But what kind of divine pact could have such a miraculous effect?

The Goddess of Eternal Night thought for a moment, left this place, and then asked Vivira and Mevis, and soon learned that they were the same.

"Don't worry, Nina—anything related to the Zunzhu is just this miraculous. You'll get used to it after seeing more of it,"

said Vivira.

"So it really is related to the Zunzhu!"

thought the Goddess of Eternal Night.

She had never imagined that after joining Lin Yan's divine system, she had already prepared herself for a long-term reduction in gains.

Yet she never expected that not only had the gains not shrunk, they had increased several-fold!

It became a huge surprise!

For a god, long-term gains are the most crucial.

The Goddess of Eternal Night had gained the accumulated wealth of the Morning Star Divine System over tens of thousands of years, but that wealth had taken them tens of thousands of years to accumulate.

Which other deity doesn't have to accumulate slowly?

Opportunities for sudden wealth do exist, but they are extremely rare—each Luminous Energy Tide is one such case.

However, how much one gains during a Luminous Energy Tide depends on luck!

Long-term gains are the foundation of a god!

For a moment, the Goddess of Eternal Night became even more curious about Lin Yan.

"Outside, everyone is saying the Zunzhu is a powerful ancient god from the ancient era; some say certain ancient gods have no gender…"

The Goddess of Eternal Night didn't know why she thought of this.

Then she realized it.

"What am I thinking?"

Her face turned red.

Because just now, her subconscious had actually wondered: if the Zunzhu truly had no gender, wouldn't that be a pity?

A pity for what?

In that space, the fragment of divine law was continuously melting under Lin Yan's flames.

This fragment of divine law was indeed powerful.

Lin Yan had been burning it for over a month, yet he hadn't even burned through half of it.

But Lin Yan now knew what kind of divine law fragment it was.

On his panel, a new section had clearly appeared:

【Dark Law Fragment: Current Progress 3%】

The Morning Star Divine System had studied this fragment of divine law for tens of thousands of years—it was precisely the power the Morning Star Divine Lord excelled in.
