Chapter 1073

Vivila was startled.

The truth was, the quantity of high-level divine stones Lin Yan had provided was simply too vast, and the resources within that ball of light Lin Yan gave were also far from ordinary.

One had to know, those were all the collections of a Venerable.

Furthermore, in that battle, there were seven Divine Lords killed by Lin Yan.

For these seven Divine Lords, Lin Yan had deliberately left behind a sliver of their will, and then used this sliver of will to connect into their divine kingdoms, sweeping up all the treasures inside in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Lin Yan was now extremely wealthy.

Even though Vivila was now at the high-end of the third layer, she still felt that the items Lin Yan had brought out were too many.

Only after looking through them did Vivila discover that many of the items inside were indeed things Lin Yan no longer had any use for.

Vivila carefully and cautiously put away the things Lin Yan had given her.

At this moment, she indeed discovered the items she needed to upgrade her divine body to level 14 inside.

"Venerable, I found them!"

Vivila was very happy.

Lin Yan patted her little head: "Mm, just let Garcia stay busy with the celebration matters; you focus on upgrading your divine body!"

Vivila nodded vigorously: "Mm!"

Following that, Lin Yan went to check on the progress of Dorothy and the other goddesses.

Upon checking, he discovered that Iwenny's godhead was already level 11, and she was currently upgrading her divine body!

That is to say, in Lin Yan's pantheon, there was one more third-layer god.

As for Dorothy, both her godhead and divine body had reached level 10, just one step away from the third layer.

Quintina's godhead had already reached level 10, while her divine body was still level 9.

"Venerable!"

Iwenny was very happy to see Lin Yan come over.

In fact, she was also a bit shy.

Because when Lin Yan bestowed further divine power upon her, he had done the same as he did with Vivila back then.

He had observed her divine body for quite some time.

Although she had been wearing clothes at the time, Lin Yan's spirit had observed very meticulously, which gave Iwenny the feeling of having been seen through by Lin Yan.

However, she did not feel repulsed at all.

Lin Yan gave her another drop of level 12 divine power and instructed her that if she was lacking in resources, she could find Vivila.

"Don't worry, Venerable, Vivila has arranged everything very well!"

Iwenny said.

Lin Yan nodded and went to check on the situation of Dorothy and Quintina.

According to Lin Yan's estimation, in a month, when the celebration was held, perhaps all three of them could reach the third layer.

After all, the one furthest from the third layer among the three of them, which was Quintina, possessed a level 8 godhead and divine body.

She was still a full three small levels away from the third layer; for other deities, this might mean several thousand years of time, but for Lin Yan, after allocating the divine power well and supplementing it with a large amount of resources, this distance actually didn't count as any distance at all.

After checking through like this, Lin Yan arrived at the depths of the Goddess of Eternal Night's residence, in that space, and continued to burn the law fragments.

And while Lin Yan was burning the law fragments, the Goddess of Eternal Night and Vivila discussed the celebration matters briefly.

Then, both the Goddess of Eternal Night and Vivila dispatched a large number of holy spirits and sprites.

These holy spirits and sprites headed to different divine domains respectively to spread the news of the celebration.

A celebration for a fourth-layer deity, of course, the grander the better; this could display the might of a fourth-layer existence.

Moreover, this time it was a celebration for two fourth-layer deities.

Therefore, naturally, the more deities who came to participate, the better.

Additionally, spreading the news everywhere like this actually had another layer of intention!

Meanwhile, in the Flame Empire, preparations for the celebration were also underway.

Mengying and Qing Ling also wanted to celebrate their god becoming a fourth-layer existence.

The Flame Empire's celebration would actually be quite a bit livelier than the one in the Heavenly Realm.

After all, there were too many people on the Continent of Gods.

From this day on, preparations began in the imperial capital of the Flame Empire; lanterns and decorations were hung everywhere, and the entire capital was filled with joy!

And while the fox-girl Qing Ling was preparing for the celebration, Mengying led a million-strong army and left the Flame Empire, wanting to take over that half of the territory and five hundred million population of the Purple Cloud Empire before the celebration.

The Purple Cloud Empire had already completely withdrawn its forces from that half of the territory.

There were still quite a few nobles remaining inside.

After all, these nobles' fiefs were all there; once they left, these nobles would become nobles without land.

But the great nobles had basically all left.

Many great nobles took their own armed forces and went east of the Purple Cloud Empire.

There, it was a vast, vast stretch of wilderness, and the Purple Cloud Empire promised them that as long as they cultivated these wild areas, no matter how much they cultivated, they could take away one-third of the land.

The great nobles had this strength.

But how could the small and medium nobles have the strength to penetrate deep into the wilderness?

The wilderness was full of dangers; inside, not only were there large numbers of fierce wild tribes, but also countless magical beasts, and even legendary creatures, such as dragons, giants, and other terrifying existences with extremely powerful individual strength.

Additionally, some of the most heinous criminals who had committed crimes in human kingdoms also often hid in the vast, unknown wilderness.

One had to know, on the current Continent of Gods, more than half of the area was still wilderness!

In fact, the Purple Cloud Empire was a great empire that had developed purely from the wilderness.

The wilderness surrounding the Purple Cloud Empire was many times larger than the stretch of wilderness between the northern twenty provinces and the central provinces of the current Flame Empire!

That was a wilderness that could truly be called boundless!

With the cooperation of the Purple Cloud Empire, the takeover would be quite smooth.

After incorporating these five hundred million-plus population, the total population of the Flame Empire would exceed six billion!

For other kingdoms, taking in so many people might not necessarily mean they could utilize them well.

But for the Flame Empire, it was completely different.

A god's philosophy could influence the prosperity of a kingdom.

Otherwise, why was a great empire with a population of one billion not even one-tenth as prosperous as the Eternal Night Empire with a population of over three billion?

Many deities, although they valued their kingdoms, would not put too much energy into their own kingdoms, nor could they put too much energy; after all, they were in the Heavenly Realm and could only remote-control them.

On the entire Continent of Gods, Lin Yan was the only transmigrator, and a transmigrator who possessed a system at that.

Moreover, Lin Yan also possessed a large number of loyal holy maidens; these holy maidens completely executed some of Lin Yan's philosophies, and they executed them quite excellently.

This was the key to the Flame Empire's strength.

In the Heavenly Realm, after a large number of female holy spirits and sprites spread the news, the first to know were still those deities who were still in the Elf Divine Domain.

In the current Elf Divine Domain, quite a few deities left every day.

However, the number of deities arriving every day was also not small.

"A celebration in a month? Two fourth-layer gods holding a celebration together, such a grand event, I must participate; hmm, I need to think about preparing some gifts!"

A third-layer god thought after hearing the news.

There was no threshold for participating in a celebration held by a fourth-layer god, nor would any fourth-layer god demand gifts.

However, even for a deity, participating in a celebration for a fourth-layer big shot empty-handed would ultimately be somewhat unjustifiable.

Not only did third-layer gods want to participate.

Some first and second-layer gods also wanted to participate.

After all, it had been a long time since there was such a grand event.

And it was two fourth-layer gods holding a celebration together.

Some deities who wanted to join Lin Yan's pantheon were even more determined to prepare a large amount of gifts, deciding to make a good impression.

"Even if I can't join the Flame Lord's pantheon, joining a reserve pantheon is also fine."

Some deities thought.

They didn't know that Lin Yan's pantheon didn't have a reserve pantheon at all, only a servant pantheon.

A reserve pantheon was used by the main pantheon to select deities; after joining a reserve pantheon, there was a possibility of becoming a full member.

However, after joining a servant pantheon, there was no possibility of becoming a full member, unless it was some powerful goddess, perhaps there might be a possibility.
