Chapter 1 The Beginning

The next afternoon, the venue for the meeting in the Minia Empire of Xining wasn't located inside the city. Instead, it was high in the sky, ten thousand meters above Xining, where the cold wind howled. Black chains extended out of the void, converging at a single point, suspending a giant silver-black sphere.

The surface of the sphere was constantly flowing with a large number of divine patterns of various gods.

This was a temporary palace built by the Alliance of Gods specifically for this event. Although called a banquet, it was initially more of a cocktail party and a ball. According to the event description, all participants would leisurely enjoy top-tier music and dance performances in the hall, performed by invited guests.

The seats belonging to the major factional forces were arranged in separate areas, isolated from each other. However, the actual situation would only be known upon arrival. Around the sphere were black channels of varying sizes leading to the interior. Small, white-light elves, each with wings on their backs and about a meter tall, served as greeters for the banquet.

Li Cheng颐 was dressed in a black, tailored suit. In all the darkness, only his eyes held a faint black-gold color. The problems that arose during the talks were almost inevitable. The Pure White God System, due to its own doctrine and certain mysterious purposes, had to purify and destroy everything on the surface and restart the world. The Pure White God System was the most conspicuous; those sitting beneath each seat were incarnations of gods, each with a different posture, radiating white light. Besides that, they were also divided into two groups: one, led by the God of Flame and the God of War, a small group of subordinate god incarnations; and another, led by two women with strange temperaments. The skin of this group faintly glowed with a waxy light, making them somewhat eerie.

Li Cheng颐 narrowed his eyes, taking in the scene before him. Li Cheng颐 returned a smile. The moment the signature was complete, subtle, solemn music began to play around them.

The Daylight Council included the Alliance of Gods, the Elemental God System, the War God System, and many other large and small, miscellaneous forces. The Hunter Association was also subordinate to it. The entrance to the sphere's fifth channel.

The giant sphere, seemingly only a hundred meters in diameter, revealed a far greater size within.

"Buzz." Li Cheng颐 remained silent, not speaking. At that moment, Chairman Wyman rose, preparing to leave the seat. However, it seemed a divine thought told him something, and his steps faltered. He turned his head to look in the direction of the Pure White God System, his gaze becoming serious. A flash of black light, and instantly, a strong man with silver-white long hair appeared at the entrance of the channel. One of those speaking had pointed ears and a delicate, fresh appearance. Their clothing was entirely woven from natural materials generated by nature, with occasional hollowed-out areas, making them look extremely cool. So the Daylight side also agreed.

Instantly, many curious, probing, and wary gazes and consciousnesses converged here. There was no whispering. Most of the consciousness power was concentrated on the White Wax duo and Li Cheng頤's side. Li Cheng颐 withdrew his gaze and looked again into the channel ahead.

A trace of eerie aura flowed in the void above the plaza. Even Bu Duna, who was beside Guan Yan颐, could feel something was wrong. "Well, it seems there are quite a few heavyweight figures attending this talk."

Guan Yan颐, with a relaxed-looking Bu Duna, followed the guidance of the small elves and walked from the periphery toward their assigned seats. The gods did not converse face-to-face, but the contact and exchange of consciousness were extremely frequent. The Pure White God System, the members of the major god systems of the Daylight Council, the Elf God System, Hell, Abyss, and Purgatory, all sent representatives to witness this historic moment.

"You know how to use the Garden Leader!?" To his right, ten meters away, a few people were already sitting in a row of seats.

He pinned the nameplate given by the small elf to his chest, which clearly marked: Garden. And beside him, only Bu Duna was close and easy to control.

Besides that, the dozen or so men and women sitting behind Wyman all emitted a solemn fluorescence. This natural light was not pure light but countless threads of faith constantly connecting believers to them.

Many good people have very abnormal views. Their resistance is far less than the evil parties, who are full of struggle. The one in the very front had a faint crown visible above their head. Underneath the fiery skin was a gorgeous, strange dark dress that looked like an "x".

What's going on!?" She couldn't help but ask me softly. His gaze swept across the large seating area in the center.

The other party stared at Li Cheng頤, their emerald-like eyes almost spitting fire.

A woman with the image of a demonic noble from the Fourth Layer of Hell, with eight pairs of hideous white horns growing on her head, was slowing her pace, turning her head to look behind me. Eight tall human figures composed of blue flames floated there.

Suddenly, a subtle tremor came from far above in the sky. Guan Yan颐 raised an eyebrow, looking at its appearance, which was similar to the King of the Dead Angels, but its aura was far less powerful. Li Cheng颐 casually replied.

A large number of seats were arranged in a large circle, like a performance venue. In the empty space in the center were two sets of white crystal chairs and black crystal chairs placed opposite each other, the two colors clearly demarcated.

Very quickly, Wyman rose to speak on behalf of the Daylight Council, stating their conditions.

Falling on the two of them.

Both sides had obviously negotiated well in advance. Then, they took out the Gods' Covenant, each signing their divine names on behalf of their respective forces. Aside from the talks themselves, White Wax and Garden were basically the most eye-catching emerging forces recently.

Judging from the looks of it, these few were now dealing with the faith of their believers. The thinking speed of gods was almost that of supercomputers, capable of processing a large amount of information in parallel in an instant. In the dark void above, countless golden lights flew down like snowflakes.

The opposite side accepted everything. "Garden Leader, please!" The voice of the small elf was transmitted to the innermost level through telepathy. Generally, it was an androgynous, beautiful face, with fair and delicate skin, making it impossible to distinguish their gender. He chose his targets, not randomly, but always targeting real villains.

After a surrounding swirl of light, it suddenly turned into a large expanse of white mist floating in the void.

"Kan Shao Lu used human limbs to sacrifice to nature, establishing the divine teaching that hunting humans is to eliminate malignant tumors for nature. This is the path to death. If Your Highness Elantis believes that elves should hunt humans and return them to nature after slaughter, returning them to all things, then I have nothing to say."

Guan Yan颐 withdrew his gaze and quickly sat down in the front row of the audience seats.

So, I simply brought you along as part of the atmosphere group.

Apart from the demon horns on the woman's head, the rest was no different from a special robust woman, but the nameplate pinned to her suit clearly showed my identity.

On the way to my seat, my gaze turned to the Alliance of Gods.

"Your Excellency secretly harmed several deities such as Your Highness Kan Shao Dian while we were in slumber! Sooner or later, we will have a battle!" Obviously, the surrounding area was the spectator seats, and the two groups in the middle were the protagonists of this talk. Being able to welcome guests with a sub-body shows the high specifications of this visit. After advancing a thousand meters inward, Li Cheng頤 and his party finally entered an open dark-gold door. For Li Cheng頤, in such occasions, Guan Yanping's main role is to decorate the pendant. Pure White God System and Alliance of Gods. Then it was the Pure White God System. The white god incarnation was a handsome, icy young man with snow-white hair. He also got up and announced the conditions given by his side. The woman and Li Cheng頤's gazes met and separated, giving him a polite smile before leaving with her subordinates. A ray of light flashed, and gorgeously dressed men and women appeared at the entrance of the channel, guided by elves into the area. "That is the chairman of the Daylight Council, the Sky God Wyman," the guiding elf said softly.

Chairman of the Daylight Council? Guan Yan颐 couldn't help but take a few more glances. "It is me, and Your Excellency is?" Guan Yan颐 replied with a smile. These were the eight gods of the Elemental God System, all incarnations. The one at the very front was the Elemental Lord, the Lord of Ash, Neisser.

The God Alliance itself was already half full of seats. At the head was a beautiful woman with countless pure white wings vaguely visible behind her.

The other special gazes didn't matter, but the gazes of the two groups behind and in front of the channel made me somewhat concerned. The elves were not living beings but incarnations of a certain deity. The top of the white channel had gold-striped crystals inlaid, releasing golden light as illumination.

Li Cheng頤 paused, then stepped forward without hesitation, entering the vortex.

Such basic principle issues could not be agreed upon by simply negotiating some conditions. It seemed that he noticed Li Cheng頤's gaze, one of the two women, with silver hair shining with a faint light, gave a smile in my direction.

Once the talks are truly completed, the entire Mosa situation will be completely changed.

"That is Grand Duke Mucadio, the noble of the Fourth Layer of Hell, and one of the VIPs witnessing the talks this time," the guiding little elf respectfully introduced. "It's nothing, it's just that the contract is still there."

"Elantis!! I am the main stem of the Mother Tree, the God of Natural Harmony! The main god of the Elf God System!"

"The contract should automatically burn and disappear after being witnessed by the world and signed by the gods," Bu Duna reacted. That's why I strike, I first investigate clearly before giving a thunderous blow to correct their mistakes! But! Although he offends other religions! Shouldn't there be more benefits? "Yes, in addition to the negotiating parties, Hell, Abyss, Purgatory, Edge Land, Nightmare Land, etc. have all sent representatives. In addition, even the Elf God System has initially awakened and sent His Highness to participate," the guiding elf whispered.

The plaza was already filled with many exquisitely crafted crystal chairs. Guan Yan颐 ignored me, this was a matter of camp and position. Inside the door was a vortex of dark green light. Obviously a portal.

I also didn't dare to answer. Most of the deities here are based on human faith. It is no longer the ancient times, and elves are no longer the mainstream of faith. Li Cheng頤 looked back one by one. Underfoot was a huge semicircular jade-white plaza.

A majestic consciousness of the gods, in this void banquet venue. At this time, the protagonists of the god banquet were basically all present. But now, the contract is still there, which means that the talks have not succeeded!?

Behind him, following along, was the little follower Bu Duna. Since it was a talk banquet, he casually brought a female companion. If they aren't villains, where can he find such rich malice to absorb?

As a weaker god system, the strength of the Lord of Ash is also weak, but it is only slightly stronger than the level of the God of War and the God of Flame in the Pure White God System. "Very quiet," Li Cheng颐 nodded, following the passage outward.
