Chapter 974

~8 min read 1,523 words

When the divine soul first emerged from Anthony's body, the Grand Speaker almost laughed out loud: "Just this?"

The individual Fist of the Beauty God and Cleansing Technique were not very high in energy level, so it was impossible to tell the strength before. But if the Vastness of Divine Grace was at this level, then this god was too weak.

After a while, Anthony's divine soul grew a bit stronger. The Grand Speaker muttered thoughtfully: "He is converting the faith of new believers? That's right, having fled so far, their believers should be gone. Converting locally is very reasonable. It seems this kind of divine skill has a very good effect on the Light Disaster. I was afraid he wouldn't be able to complete the task."

This plane alone had a population of four hundred million. The Alliance still had eleven main material planes with over a hundred million population, plus those abyss planes with inhabitants. The entire Holy Light Alliance had at least three billion intelligent beings.

However, the Light Disaster didn't just affect intelligent beings; all animals and plants were affected. After a long time, the balance of nature would collapse.

What is the balance of nature? A long time ago, the Lord of Life told the Grand Speaker that if the insects in the forest died out, the frogs and snakes that ate insects would starve to death, and the eagles that ate frogs and snakes would starve to death. Eventually, all creatures would die. This is the balance of nature.

The Grand Speaker asked at the time: "If frogs and snakes change to eating fruit, wouldn't that work?"

"Yes, but that would require frogs and snakes that eat fruit. So the more diverse the world's creatures, the more stable the balance of nature," the Lord of Nature said slowly.

So the Grand Speaker hoped to solve the Light Disaster problem as soon as possible, letting more creatures live, at least keeping the balance of nature. As for a batch of humans and elves dying, he didn't care, as long as they didn't all die.

As the divine soul gradually grew and the power became stronger, a sound of wind like wailing suddenly sounded in the entire sky. The sound was so shrill that everyone in the square felt panicked.

The Grand Speaker looked up at the surroundings in confusion: "Hmm, why has the death aura become so much thicker? Can the Vastness of Divine Grace also stir up death aura?"

Zhuoshan was piled with thick death soil, but ordinary wind couldn't blow the death soil, and the death aura that rose halfway also settled. Now the wind was actually stirring up the death aura, and by the way, it also stirred up countless vengeful spirits, wailing in the wind turned from death aura.

The Grand Speaker stomped his foot, his soul shook, Boom! A silent soul shock spread out with him as the center, sweeping away the vengeful spirits in the wind. The wind was still blowing, but the wailing sound disappeared.

He gave himself a thumbs up for his coolness in his heart, but after the ceremony was completed, the Grand Speaker returned to the pit under Zhuoshan, looking at the death soil that was one layer less, and was a bit stunned: "Where is my death soil?"

The next day, when Anthony wanted to borrow the square of Zhuoshan to hold a ceremony, the Grand Speaker refused no matter what: "Go, go, go, change to another place to hold the ceremony. By the way, go to other planes first and eliminate the Light Disaster before talking. Treatment is not urgent; first prevent the Light Disaster from worsening."

Anthony smiled: "Actually, it's not me who eliminates the Light Disaster, but the Lord of Life. Since this is the birthplace of the Lord of Life, why don't you ask the Lord of Life to eliminate it?"

The Grand Speaker said: "The Lord of Life has run to the Feilie Empire. Where can I find it? You call it out?"

Anthony scratched his nose, his eyes 'drifting', and said with an 'embarrassed' face: "Grand Speaker, I believe you can see it too. I am a believer of the Lord of Radiance and am not very familiar with the Lord of Life."

"Not very familiar, then how can you trigger the Whisper of the Forest?" the Grand Speaker asked curiously. He naturally saw it, but as long as Anthony had the ability to solve the Light Disaster, he didn't care who was summoning the Lord of Life.

Anthony rubbed his nose: "That's because this happens to be the hometown of the Lord of Life. The one who triggered the Whisper of the Forest was a companion of mine; he is a priest of the Lord of Life."

"I don't care about this. You have already accepted the task. How to solve it is your business. If you can't solve it, I will sacrifice you all into zombies," the Grand Speaker said.

"No, no, no, I don't mean we can't solve it. I mean, the Light Disaster is solved by the Lord of Life, so if we sprinkle the seeds of the Lord of Life to all planes, we can solve the Light Disaster." After some foreshadowing, Anthony finally expressed his true meaning.

"Are you dreaming? If the seeds of the Lord of Life were so easy to grow, wouldn't all planes have World Trees? Why didn't I do such an easy thing years ago? Is it because I don't have the seeds of the Lord of Life?" the Grand Speaker scoffed.

Anthony smiled: "Hehe, so you can't grow the Tree of Life either. But it doesn't matter, the Lord of Life has already found a way to sprout in the Feilie Empire. These are its saplings."

Anthony waved his hand, and the airship flew over. The deck was full of pots of World Tree saplings.

Watching Governor Airi send people to move all the saplings away and teleport them to major planes one by one to plant, Nai Ge Li Si couldn't help but ask: "You went around such a big circle, what exactly do you want to do?"

Anthony whispered: "Trust. Do you think that on one side is the Lord of Life who has been together for a hundred thousand years, and on the other side are believers of refugee deities like us? Who do you think he will believe?"

"Uh, I get it. Good guy, you are equivalent to letting him help us plant World Trees, handing over all planes to us without any defense." Nai Ge Li Si gasped.

It was vicious, using the name of the Lord of Life to gain the Grand Speaker's trust, letting the other party replace them in sowing World Trees with peace of mind. The most absolute thing was that this was really sent out through the branches of the Lord of Life. Theoretically, these saplings were sub-strains of the Lord of Life.

Convinced, Nai Ge Li Si asked: "Is the Grand Speaker wary of us all along?"

"Then I don't know. But whether he is wary of me or not doesn't hinder me from trying my best to win his trust," Anthony said confidently.

Nai Ge Li Si was speechless. If this was heard by others, they would think Anthony was loyal to the Grand Speaker. Clearly plotting against you and still letting you not pick out a single flaw, this damn divine swindler.

In the following period of time, Anthony focused on showing miracles and spreading divine grace, winning waves of believers. The small sapling also went 'ya ya ya' every day, indicating that another sub-strain had been planted and survived.

When the tasks were all completed, the Grand Speaker came to the door: "Not bad, I am very satisfied with your work. How about this, to reward you, I specially approve you to spread your faith within the territory of the Holy Light Alliance."

There is such a good thing? Hearing these words, Silver Coin, Gale, and others all had their eyes light up. However, Anthony refused calmly: "Forget it, forget it. After spreading the faith, it will be slaughtered by the God-Slayer again."

"In my territory, no one dares to slaughter gods, rest assured," the Grand Speaker guaranteed.

"Forget it, forget it. We are not very familiar with heroic spirits. Their methods of slaughtering gods are strange. If we get hit again, it will be over," Anthony said.

Now everyone understood, turning to the side noncommittally, each busy with their own things.

"What's not familiar? Ask me, I am very familiar with heroic spirits. Rest assured, I guarantee that in my territory, heroic spirit warriors can't hurt you. Spread the faith boldly," the Grand Speaker encouraged.

"Forget it, forget it."

"You must."

The Grand Speaker urged for a while longer, and only then did Anthony say reluctantly: "Unless... unless you give me a heroic spirit for me to study. Just that kind of heroic spirit that releases starlight from afar, can release a storm of faith, and eliminate all gods."

"There is such a heroic spirit?"
