Chapter 347: Invitation

"The Zhurizhe Sect might be the capital of this era, or even more powerful, for they possess not only armed forces but also a True God."

No one knows who made this decision, but the True God Sect, which chases money, has arrived; they have smelled a business opportunity and are visibly changing everything around them.

Yet, even the Kingdom and Her Highness the Princess cannot refuse.

With capital entering the field, drawing in human resources and extraordinary combat power, the market, the adventure industry, and even the social actions of the entire city and Kingdom have become active.

This vitality of social and economic activity is the most precious.

A massive influx of foreign goods and commerce has arrived; they promote competition, making it impossible for those high-and-mighty God Sects to ignore this anymore. Competition has come; doing nothing is a crime, and what awaits you is elimination by the market and being eaten away.

Even the bishops of those Shanshen Sects, though they are "unlucky ones cast to the borders," face professional pressure.

You may choose not to expand or achieve results, but if you lose your entire original faith diocese and all your territory is snatched away, that banishment can directly turn into punishment or even execution.

Believe in the greed and fairness of the Gods regarding the power of faith; when their core interests are damaged, in their inhumanity, the Gods are never human.

"Predictably, faith competition will be fierce; this may not be a good thing for us, but it seems to be a good thing for the Kingdom."

Beneath the Hall of Heroic Souls, Her Highness Dai Niya, with black mist dispersing around her, immediately began recruiting companions.

Li En did not stop her; allowing her to use public resources for private ends was itself a form of support.

The "Inheritors" below either whispered to each other or wore expressions of indifference.

Most people did not intend to participate, even viewing everything the Kingdom faced as unrelated to themselves. In their eyes, the inheritance is real, and the development is real, but it has little to do with this small Kingdom; even if your Kingdom is destroyed in two years, the inheritance will still be inherited, and the development will still develop.

Dai Niya's recruitment is an opportunity and a challenge for the Inheritors within the Kingdom; for the citizens of other nations, it is an invitation and a choice, and without sufficient chips and temptation, it is very difficult to make the resolve to leave everything behind in one's hometown and choose to travel far away.

Dai Niya is merely doing her part; only when the pool is large can a true dragon emerge; the small fish raised by those people and those resources simply cannot handle big storms.

This is also the fundamental reason why she and the Kingdom cannot practically refuse the Zhurizhe Sect; the influx of "capital" has indeed greatly activated local exploration activities. Even knowing this is a slow-acting poison, if the Kingdom might be gone in two years, worrying so much has little meaning.

"If possible, I hope your new church can constrain the Zhurizhe Sect to a certain extent."

"You overestimate us."

Since it was a public occasion, Li En still used honorifics, but the content was far from polite.

What tier is the Zhurizhe Sect, and what tier is our side? Li En just asked that Zhurizhe priest; they have four divine spells guaranteed at the first circle, and can reach seven to ten (in total) at the second circle, while our side is uniformly one at the first circle, truly "guaranteed to get the lowest rarity in every gacha pull."

The power gap between the Deities is too great; even though the God of Drama and Mirth does not take a cut of the faith, and I am even subsidizing divine power myself, the power that can be given to priests on the ground is truly too little.

Furthermore, "commerce" and "travel" are also the divine portfolios of the Zhurizhe Sect, which means that the commerce of chasing money itself is fulfilling their doctrine, making them even stronger.

"We'll do as much as we can." Dai Niya rubbed her brow, also having a bit of a headache.

She has always had information passing through; the ones truly eyeing the Radiant City are not just the Zhurizhe Sect; they are just habitually high-profile. Those evil gods, righteous gods, and transnational organizations that have silently infiltrated are all unexploded bombs.

The Deity of Drama and Mirth continues to silently play the zither for self-amusement, seeming completely unconcerned with the Inheritors below. Yet the shepherds and Inheritors who accepted the inheritance do not feel there is any problem.

It seems that Deities should be like this, high above and ungraspable.

Devout shepherds long for the Deity's guidance, while experienced and ambitious shepherds expect the Deity to do nothing, interpreting the Deity's will and goals themselves.
