#1225 - Painting a Pie for God

Gavin leaned forward slightly, and the overwhelming divine power surged like chains, tying the dancing butterfly like a butterfly. The joyful high priest who never stopped for a moment firmly in place looked down at her and said in a very serious tone: "If you continue to be stubborn.

You will inevitably become a victim of profligacy, a trophy of the goddess of torture and pain, and live in endless agony."

The eyes of the young demigod seemed to turn into a whirlpool, directly sucking in the soul of the Joyful High Priestess Krannah.

It's like a dream.

In that extremely real dream, the goddess of wealth did not return. Under her leadership, the Church of Joy had been squandering the wealth accumulated by the Church of Woking over countless years for more than ten years.

All over the world in Faerun, grand banquets are held, using singing and dancing to cover up the trouble and bring joy and happiness to countless regions.

But when they leave, disaster and suffering often befall them.

Or they might be besieged and conquered by monsters - because while enjoying themselves, they diverted the military funds that were supposed to be used to repair the city walls and improve armaments.

Or they were caught up in plague and disaster - the emergency relief funds were squandered by them.

Or resources are scarce - the money used to repair roads is used to beautify parks.

Lady of Torment and Pain, Lawrence, follows like a shadow, relentlessly pursuing you.

And she was completely unaware until Lawina reached out her hands to her side and lashed her hard with the whip of torture...

“No…” The High Priest of Joy screamed loudly, his whole body trembling uncontrollably and sweat pouring down like rain. He was like a frightened little bird, endearing and lovable, without any trace of the charm he had before.

"Is this what you want to see?" Gavin showed no mercy and continued to be aggressive.

There must be something hateful about a pitiful person.

This was the case with this person. It was she and her goddess who caused her own destruction and death.

What Gavin had just shown her was the future as he knew it.

This is the benefit of his choice not to keep the secret of the reborn. He can use it as a prophecy spell, and it will be more effective when combined with dreams.

In his previous life, this High Priest of Joy was assassinated by the followers of the Lady of Torture and Pain, which became the fuse.

The war between the two goddesses broke out in full swing. In order to seek revenge, the Goddess of Joy instructed her followers to regroup and specially formed an assassination cult called the Scarlet Orchestra.

They travel around the continent of Faerun, performing elaborate and deadly dances in disguise, using dancing shoes with hidden blades and dancing ropes as weapons to silently take the lives of the followers of the Maiden of Pain.

Of course, the illusion of the future that Gavin showed to the High Priest of Joy was false, and it forcibly linked it to the disaster caused by excessive squandering.

Although it makes sense, who can tell for sure whether it is true or not?

The priesthood of joy and happiness held by the Goddess of Joy and the priesthood of torture and pain held by the Maiden of Pain are inherently hostile priesthoods. The hostility between them has begun from the moment they were born, and it is the same whether there is a lady of wealth or not.

"What was that just now? A prophecy illusion? Or a divine spell?" The Joyful High Priest asked repeatedly, not daring to look Gavin in the eye.

Whether it was a normal illusion or a dream, it was impossible to scare her like this.

She is the chosen one of Lady Joy, the High Priestess of Joy, and is on equal footing with the Archbishop of Holy Coin.

But she had just experienced Gavin's prophetic dream, and the feeling was extremely real. This kind of reality did not mean that the situation there was so real that she was confused about everything.

It was that invisible feeling in the dark, especially when being backstabbed by the painful girl, the pain and torture seemed to act directly on the soul.

"This is the future you need to face as the Goddess of Wealth cannot return to her normal position." Gavin responded truthfully.

The effect of this prophetic dream was also a little beyond his expectations. After all, this was his first time using it.

If you think about it carefully, it seems easy to explain.

His predictions are not just predictions, but the real future.

What will happen in the future if you don't intervene.

If the other person was just an ordinary person, he would probably be frightened by the content of the prophetic dream.

But the other party is strong enough and has a strong enough perception, so strong that under the right circumstances, he can even sense his own future destiny.

The prophetic dream created the right conditions.

As a result, a top-level priest was frightened to the point of paralysis.

"You two gods teamed up to humiliate my chosen people. Do you have the nerve to do that?"

The High Priest of Joy, who had curled up into a ball, jumped up from the ground with an extremely graceful posture without even being seen exerting any effort.

Her appearance did not change at all, but her aura had changed drastically, and she was surrounded by an indescribable atmosphere of joy.

Everyone couldn't help but recall the happiest thing in their lives. That feeling of happiness surged into their hearts again, as if it had just happened, and a happy smile from the heart couldn't help but reveal itself at the corners of their mouths.

The goddess of joy arrived in the form of a spirit and directly descended into the body of her high priest of joy.

"We are just having a normal doctrinal debate and stating a fact. How can it be considered bullying?" Gavin asked back, not wanting to be outdone.

"Sophistry!" The smile on Ms. Joy's face was as happy and sweet as ever, but it clearly made people feel a chill, "The goddess of wealth has already returned, so where is the other future?

How long are you going to hide, Waukeen?

How come it's all my fault now? And you've become an innocent victim?"

The moment Lady of Joy arrived, everything in the Golden Tower was in a state of stillness.

It wasn't that she cast a powerful time magic, but that the powerful divine power directly isolated the inside and the outside, separating them from ordinary people.

This is the instinctive reaction of these veteran gods. Some of their conversations are not suitable for their believers to hear.

If you are not careful, your faith may collapse.

After all, when the gods start fighting, the scene won’t be very pretty, especially between two good girlfriends.

"I have never blamed you!" At this moment, the goddess of wealth, Wojin, had to show up and said with an extremely sincere expression, "It's because I don't want our relationship to become too awkward.

So, I have always avoided it.

Even though he had already returned to Faerun, he did not take any action.

It was your high priest who was greedy and didn't know when to give in.

If she had known when to step forward and not shown up in such situations, things wouldn't have gotten so awkward."

"After all, it's our fault. You are just innocent victims." Ms. Joy said coldly.

“We have never denied the happiness and joy that ladies bring to people, we just think it should not take precedence over being together.

To divert wealth that should be used for legitimate purposes to enjoyment is tantamount to squandering and indulging oneself.

As long as we agree on this, I think we will have a lot of common topics to talk about.”

Gavin changed his previous strong attitude and acted as a peacemaker.

After all, the priesthood of Lady Joy is here, and they themselves are not unforgivable evildoers.

Unless Lila really breaks off relations with her and takes over the position of the Goddess of Wealth and refuses to return it.

This is premised on her having the ability to do so.

She was merely in charge of the priesthood of wealth on behalf of Woking, not that she had integrated the priesthood into her body.

The priesthood is still preserved in the kingdom of Lady Fortune!

Even if the Goddess of Wealth was imprisoned in the bottomless abyss for more than ten years in her previous life, it would only take a few minutes for her to return and take back her priesthood.

This is also the reason why the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, is so confident. Otherwise, she would definitely not waste even a second in the material plane.

When I could have returned to the Kingdom of God, I would have chosen to return.

Don't underestimate the adventurous spirit of the Goddess of Wealth. She dared to go deep into the bottomless abyss alone and signed a devil's contract with the Dark Prince Graz'zt, one of the three giants of the abyss.

Now, because of the potential that Gavin has shown, they are betting heavily on him.

This is something that most gods cannot do.

Just look at the series of gods that Gavin has come into contact with and you will know that most of them only showed up because they saw a business that was sure to make money.

The second god who dared to place a heavy bet on Gavin, besides the one created by Gavin himself, was the goddess of wealth Waukin.

The first one is naturally Ms. Strategy, who has made a fortune from this.

"There is no trouble that a happy dance cannot make go away," replied the merry lady stubbornly.

A god is very stubborn in his own field of ministry, and cannot be changed by just a few words from others.

Gavin knew this very well, so he didn't work on it at all, but said solemnly: "We never planned to change the lady.

I just want to say that we should each do our part.

I am responsible for production, construction and development, Ms. Fortune is responsible for trade and accumulation of wealth, and you, Ms. Joy, just need to concentrate on bringing joy and happiness to people, use your dance to heal people's hearts and make them forget their sorrow and pain.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

However, extravagance and unbridled indulgence must be resisted, because they are not only detrimental to social development, but are a regression.

We should use the saved energy on development, build more cities, pave more roads, and give birth to more people.

When there are billions of people in this world, all of them have enough food to eat, sleep well, the elderly have someone to rely on, the young are well taken care of, and all of them are filled with a sense of happiness.

Wouldn't happiness and joy fill the whole world? Wouldn't you, lady, have a greater role to play? Don't you want to see such a world?"

Gavin once again started doing what he is best at - painting big rosy pictures for these gods.

Only this time, it was not just empty talk, but a direct sharing of the scene of peace and prosperity and singing and dancing on Earth.

Not to mention Ms. Joy, even the Goddess of Wealth was so shocked that she couldn't take her eyes away.

The Goddess of Wealth could not help but ask, "Which material plane did you show us? How come we have never heard of it? And we have never been there! Aren't the gods of wealth and joy there all powerful?"

Neither the Goddess of Wealth nor the Goddess of Joy are pure gods of faith; they are more like conceptual gods.

If a world has enough wealth and joy, even if they don't have any believers, it will not prevent them from becoming powerful gods, and vice versa.

"That is a world without gods. Everything there is created by humans themselves. It is even very likely a world outside the multiverse, or it has been hidden from the multiverse. The gods cannot set foot there." Gavin answered truthfully.

Before becoming a demigod, when Gavin cast the teleportation spell, he could vaguely feel a mysterious connection with the Earth.

However, after becoming a demigod of roads and his teleportation abilities were greatly enhanced, he completely lost his sense of the Earth.

This situation was obviously not directed at him, but at the gods.

This is why the gods know very little about the situation on Earth. Otherwise, with their powers, the Earth would have long become a battlefield for their faith struggle.

The technological weapons on Earth may not be able to withstand the invasion of the gods.

No matter how powerful technological weapons are, they are in the hands of fragile mortals.

The gods have countless means to control mortals and use them before those weapons take effect.

Even nuclear weapons, which humans rely on the most, cannot completely kill the gods - as long as their believers are still there, even if their bodies are destroyed, they will be reborn in the kingdom of God.

This is also the reason why technological weapons develop slowly in the multiverse.

"A world without gods? A world wiped from the multiverse?"

The Goddess of Fortune and Lady Joy looked at each other involuntarily and said in unison: "The hidden place of the God of Gods!"

In this world, there is only one person who can do this, and that is AO, the father of gods, the creator of the multiverse, the god above all gods.

As for why the God of Gods did this, no one knows.

No one can guess his thoughts and will, not even the gods.

In front of him, even those powerful gods were like children. Just because of his words, they were thrown down to the mortal world and their souls were imprisoned in the bodies of saints.

The two goddesses looked at Gavin with a different look in their eyes.

The Goddess of Wealth was the first to exclaim: "So you come from the hidden place of the gods above the gods. No wonder you have made so many extraordinary moves in such a short time and brought so many changes to this continent.

It seems that I made the right bet this time.

The continent of Faerun does not need to be as prosperous as the Hidden Land of the Gods. It only needs half of it, no, even one-tenth of it, and I can become a powerful god."

If we say that she had only 30% confidence in Gavin's ability to develop before, now it has soared to 80%.

This confidence does not come from Gavin, but from God above all else.

Can a soul that comes from the hidden place of the gods above gods be an ordinary soul?

How could the God above all Gods not know about this matter?

In other words, all of this was done with the tacit approval of the God above all else.

In other words, the fact that the other party's soul could come from a hidden place might be the work of the God above Gods.

"It's not that simple." Gavin sighed, "The reason why humans on Earth have developed to that level.

To a large extent, it is because the population is of a single ethnic group and there is no interference from many powerful external forces.

Even so, they are still divided into many countries and races, and they are constantly fighting each other for energy and materials.

Not to mention that this is a place where there are many intelligent races, gods exist, and powerful forces surround us.

When we grow to a certain level, we will definitely want someone to share the cake with us.”

He was speaking from his heart.

The greater his own power, the greater his awe.

Because there is always someone better than you.

In the past, even if one had reached the level of a legendary warrior, he was still ignorant and fearless, and believed that preventing the coming of the arcane calamity was not a difficult task.

All we need to do is send this message to the Goddess of Magic and let her guard against the conspiracy of the Goddess of Night Shar and the God of Conspiracy Xirik, and the problem will be solved.

This idea seems so naive now.

The fall of the Goddess of Magic is most likely not just a matter between the Goddess of Night and the God of Conspiracy, but may involve many divine power games.

Many gods may not have participated, but they did not stop it either. Instead, they just watched it happen.

The reason is simple, huge interests are involved.

The fall of the Magic Goddess was more beneficial to them, at least they might have thought so, but they did not expect the consequences to be so serious.

Anyway, Gavin is not going to rely on any person or God for this matter. It is more realistic to push it forward by himself.

The Goddess of Wealth disagreed with this and said: "We can't stop making cakes just because some people want to share the cake. If we do that, no one will have anything to eat.

We should find ways to make the pie bigger, and then everyone will get more from it.”

Gavin nodded in agreement and said, "I agree with the lady on this matter. I have always done this. I just wonder if Ms. Joy wants to join in the cake-making process?

Even if there is a severe drought for three years, the cook will not starve to death.

For those of us who make the cake, it will be natural for us to taste it or get an extra portion during the process.”

"You two cooperated well and managed to trick me without me noticing!" Lady Joy looked back and forth between Gavin and the goddess of wealth, Waukeen. "You two are a perfect match, and it seems like you have already reached an agreement.

But both of you are practical clergy, one is engaged in production and construction, and the other is engaged in finance and trade. Even if I want to join in, what can I do?" (End of this chapter)
