Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 926 510: The Violent Death God and the Indolent Wealth God

"It's good not to dwell on it; some folks have ulterior motives, trying to sow discord among you."
"They won't understand the bond between me and my brother."
Malicious words of discord clearly cannot shake the brotherly bond between the Holy Dragon Descendants. The Dawn Guardian Iliad, residing in Heaven, turns a blind eye to the rumors filling his ears. With his broad-mindedness and patience, he bears all criticism, slander, and negative words directed at him.
As for Terramus, who roams the Void, hunting the whereabouts of the Big Snake, upon hearing the rumors, resorted to the most violent response.
He charged into the Lower Plane, found several Evil Demon Lords spreading rumors, and using Divine Power, forcefully killed them. Then, he unleashed the Mechanical Undead Legion, plundering and destroying the Lower Plane governed by these Evil Demon Lords, before leaving triumphantly.
Such a mighty act of brutality made many Evil Demons revere him, and for a time, related voices almost disappeared.
That one in Heaven seems to have a nice temper, doesn't mind a few words, but the Death God clearly has a bad temper, responds to any offense by killing mercilessly.
However, his unruly, unreasonable, and violent actions unexpectedly spread the name of this newly ascended Dragon Clan Death God in the Lower Plane, creating many Evil Demon followers or worshipers.
The basic rule of the survival of the fittest is vividly demonstrated now. In the Lower Plane, as long as you show yourself to be strong and ruthless enough, even gods will have Evil Demons revere them and want to follow.
Such a bizarre and laughable phenomenon; however, as the Dragon God, Terramus shares the same trait as many Dragon Gods, which is a lack of particular concern for the preservation of faith.
Believe if you want, reasons for believing remain, if not, he's too lazy to bother.
When the deeds of the Death God Terramus were passed back to the Dragon Realm, it undoubtedly sparked a sensation and a wave of imitation seeking.
Especially in the western region of the Xilantia Continent, it ignited a frenzy among the Goblins, who immediately held a grand ceremony for the God of Machinery to express their worship.
"Second brother is amazing, father, I also want to be a god!"
However, compared to the rejoicing over the deeds of the Holy Dragon Descendant and the accompanying large-scale events held by many vassals and local city-states, the youngest daughter of Noah, who is the only one of his descendants not yet ascended to godhood, immediately began to throw a tantrum.
"Okay, you will ascend to godhood too, but what kind of god do you want to be?"
Facing his youngest daughter's coquettish demands, Noah naturally didn't refuse, especially since he had already planned,
"God of Wealth? Or Ice and Snow Goddess?"
"Wealth? Ice and Snow?"
Upon hearing Noah's choices, Scadino's expression instantly fell into a dilemma; Wealth was her interest, while Ice and Snow was her innate power.
"Can I, like my second brother, choose both?"
"Of course you can."
"Then I want to be the Goddess of Wealth and Ice."
"Alright."
Choosing Wealth as the main divine position and Ice and Snow as the secondary, supportive role meant that this youngest daughter's base of faith couldn't be chosen in those remote and barren worlds, only in progressively prosperous worlds could vast wealth be cultivated.
"Your base of faith will be set in the Dragon Realm!"
Unlike her eldest and second brothers, whose base of faith was set in the Dusk World, as the youngest daughter, due to the particularity of the chosen divine position, Noah chose to spread her faith in the Dragon Realm.
"Alright!"
Upon hearing that she could spread faith on her home ground, and the Dragon Realm was chosen as the base, Scadino quickly became ecstatic, but soon, this little female dragon realized she had rejoiced too early.
Everywhere in the Dragon Realm were her father's Favored and Servants, with numerous fervent followers among them. Trying to spread the faith of a god, especially a faith of an Ascender not yet ascended, in the Dragon Realm equated the difficulty to mortals ascending to heaven.
This was an almost impossible task; initially, Scadino was unaware of this and even took pride in it, as all beings in the Dragon Realm worshipped her father.
However, when she wanted to become a Divine, wanted to spread faith on this land, she immediately felt the pain, as this land had hardly anyone willing to listen to her preach; even if someone would temporarily linger because of wealth, they would abandon it after further understanding.
The world rich with Dragon Vein creatures undoubtedly pursued money, but the mainstream Wisdom Species had higher desires for power and ambitions to establish sects and countries.
In comparison, mere temptation of wealth seemed too monotonous and meager; even if it could attract some followers, they were only able to offer scarce, sporadic faith, which was less useful than the identity of the Holy Dragon's daughter.
"Ahhh, I don't want to preach in the Dragon Realm, I want to go to the surrounding satellite worlds!"
Ultimately, after several years of trial and error, realizing she couldn't gather a somewhat sizable church group even on the Dragon Realm's home turf, Scadino chose to give up and switch her target.
She confirmed that, from top to bottom in the Dragon Realm, only her father was recognized, everywhere were her father's devotees and fervent believers, some of whom had souls so pure they could be Saints.
These were the immortal foundations that even the Divine envied, but were discarded like old shoes by her father, remaining unnoticed. If her father chose to become a Divine, not to mention becoming a Strong Divine Power instantly during the Divine Enthronement, based on this foundation, he would soon become a supreme figure in the Divine sequence.
"Great Scadino, master of wealth, may your Divine Throne be lifted high like the stars, never to fall, may you grant us endless wealth."
"My Lord Scadino, you are the progeny of the Sun, guardian of the endless treasury. Your wealth forges an immortal Divine Throne, your ice becomes an Eternal Divine Domain!"
Once again resonates the Sealing God Prayer belonging to the Holy Dragon Descendant, but it's no longer echoed in the desolate Void, rather in the increasingly prosperous surroundings of the Dragon Realm. In those Material Realms that have long been conquered by the Dragon-man Army.
As the Holy Dragon's daughter, Scadino ultimately couldn't withstand the invisible pressure exerted by her father. Even with wealth as bait, not many Dragon-men were willing to worship her, leaving her with no other choice but to set her sights on the worlds around the Dragon Domain. Despite their economy not matching the Dragon Realm, they weren't lacking either.
"Progeny of the Sun? Really~"
Hearing the content of his daughter's prayer, inside the circulating sun within the Dragon Realm, dragon shadows gathered, from which an amused voice echoed,
"Quite lazy indeed."
If Noah also followed the path of the Divine, simply based on what Scadino said during the Divine Enthronement, he would unavoidably become her subordinate god or Servant God.
However, Noah is the Dragon King, doesn't need faith; also, he's her father, certainly wouldn't do anything to his daughter. Such cunning antics to conveniently collect faith are permissible.
Nonetheless, the collected faith would likely be quite miscellaneous, but as a Dragon God, the purity of faith doesn't matter. As long as the rules can be touched, that's sufficient.
"Weak Divine Power indeed."
Scadino's result from Divine Enthronement was no surprise; her Divine Power Level equaled her elder brother's; as for potential and developmental limits, they weren't lacking either, there's a possibility of becoming a Strong Divine Power.
Especially the Wealth Divine Position, once formed, its scale of Divine Power is definitely among the first tier of gods, there's a chance it would never be exhausted no matter how much is squandered.
But the premise is that wealth-related faith must reach a certain scale, followers must reach a certain base, otherwise, it's just an empty shell.
"Weak is weak, yet it's sufficient."
