Who told him to rush up there?.

In this life, even though Eli rose extremely quickly, he did not have enough confidence to change the war situation among the gods, unless he could gain several times more benefits than before with the existing adventures and resources. Otherwise, even if he successfully joined the Pantheon, he would not dare to boast of saving the Lord God of Light who was at the level of the God King.

Perhaps the Lord God of Light does not necessarily need him to save him. Even a mere mortal like him has the opportunity to live again. Who knows if the Lord God of Light who suddenly died in the last life did not leave any backup plan. Maybe this time He can defeat his opponent and kill a Demon King from the Demon Realm?
Oh, that's getting off topic. The God King level is still very far away for him now. Even if Lord God of Light loses again, that will be twenty-nine years later. It's useless for him to worry about it now. He might as well work hard and continue to make the mortal world more powerful than in his previous life, and completely crush the demons' delusions of invasion.

Thinking of this, Eli took out paper and pen from the storage space and quickly wrote out a small note, clearly stating the precautions and instructions for use. Then he took out two small porcelain bottles and solemnly put them into Caroline's treasure chest. The small note was wrapped around one of the bottles so that Caroline could see it at a glance when she opened the brocade box.

"The master is giving special treatment to Gabriella again. He is so partial~~"

When Cecilia saw this scene, her mouth was pouted with jealousy. Her master had always taken special care of Caroline since she was a child. Many good things were only for Caroline, and neither she nor Jessica could get any.

Although the two of them also had many benefits that they did not share with Garcia, there is no reason for a girl to be content. Anyway, I must have what other women have. I may not need it, but I must have it!

Eli believed that he was always fair, and every time he gave Caroline exclusive benefits, he would compensate Jessica and Cecilia with something good, and vice versa. But from time to time, Cecilia would talk faster than her brain and get jealous for no reason.

Sometimes Eli would wonder if Cecilia was just a jealous person. He was obviously the most important person in her heart, and she would force herself to accept whatever he wanted, even if it meant putting herself at a disadvantage. But she rarely gave in, and would even ignore her brain.

"Come on, you used to grumble a few words, but now, you always eat more and take more."

Eli didn't like the word "partiality" because it would show that he was not well-trained enough and didn't even have the basic skill of maintaining a harem. He didn't mean to criticize Cecilia by saying this, he was just telling the truth about his recent life.

"How could I... I don't want to eat more, I just want to make my master feel more comfortable, right?"

Cecilia seemed a little shy when she spoke, and she didn't dare to look the sisters around her straight in the eye. After all, compared with them, she did eat the most meat these days. But she was also telling the truth. Doing that kind of service for the master was to make him enjoy himself, and she was not forcing him to do anything.

Although the output from the service was said to be quite beneficial to them, and Oliver had almost drooled over it, the master said that the stuff could not be superimposed to take effect, and it took a while to digest and absorb it once before it could be used again. She ate more by doing so, but she didn't take more, and it would be useless even if she took more...

Seeing Cecilia's shy behavior and hearing her embarrassing words, the expressions of the other two people were also unnatural. As for why it was two people, it was because Jessica still had a blank expression.

Of the two people with strange expressions, Evelyn was originally a lady from a wealthy family and could not do these things. However, under the demonstration of Cecilia and Jessica, she finally broke the bottom line and tried to do it one day. Although she is still very unskilled now, the beneficiary Eli still expressed his satisfaction with her and encouraged her to keep trying.

But the other person, Princess Cat Lina, was not only inexperienced and cowardly, but also very proud. She could never do such a thing. Eli never forced her. After all, this kind of thing requires mutual consent. If he forced his woman to do such a thing, then what was the difference between him and a simple hooligan and pervert?
Eli is not trying to argue that he is not lustful, but he is pointing out that he is not simply lustful. Just like there is a code of conduct for stealing, there is also a code of conduct for lust.

Mutual consent is the necessary basis for sex. If even this cannot be guaranteed, then it is not sex, but crime. Of course, there may also be a half-hearted issue involved. This is actually also voluntary. If there is really no such intention, how can there be any half-heartedness? As soon as you start pushing, people will report to the Imperial Police Department.

Princess Lina was shy, so she could get used to it. Anyway, he had asked Cecilia to feed Lina the useful things. Perhaps the two of them had never thought that their second kiss partner would be a girl. No, they probably had never thought of having a second kiss partner before...

Cecilia also had some complaints about this. It wasn't that she disliked the sweet and soft Princess Lina, but she felt that the fruits of her hard work were fed to the dog... No, it was unfair to feed the cat. She had put in the effort, but the one who benefited was Lina who refused to please her master...

It didn't really matter if Lina got some benefits, but Cecilia was very upset that she refused to please her master. That's it? You call yourself a legal wife? Don't take advantage of others... You take advantage of others and you get all the good things. Do you think you are a princess of the empire and everyone has to spoil you?

Well, I'll spoil him first. The master said to let it go. His words are the imperial decree, and they work better than your father's...

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Only the devout believers of the Lord of Light can digest this stuff. If you take even a little bit of it, you'll be stuffed to death. Don't think I don't know who you believe in..."

Eli put the brocade box back along the way he came, then patted Cecilia's thigh, telling her to be obedient.

"I don't have any faith. My master is Cecilia's god!"

Hearing what her master said, Cecilia's expression remained unchanged, but she hurried over to get close to Eli. She let her master know all her little interests in her spare time. He was really the worm in her stomach, and she could not hide anything from him.

"You should wait until I become a god before you believe in me. The one you believe in now is not bad, you can continue to believe in him."

Eli knew Cecilia inside and out. In her previous life, she was a loyal believer of the god. In this life, as she grew up, she had no chance to come into contact with Him. However, history always repeats itself in a surprising way. Even though her fate changed, she still became His believer.

But it doesn't matter. That god is well-known for his integrity and reliability. He is also known as the God of Knights. Believing in him is not a bad thing, but there is no benefit in it.

After all, in addition to his official job as the goddess of war and his alias as the god of knights, he is also called the God of Poverty by some fearless veterans. This extremely powerful god, who ranks among the ten main gods, has not bestowed any divine objects or substantial rewards to his believers for more than five hundred years.

It’s not that He was stingy for God, He was just really poor…

Anyone who has studied modern history knows that ever since the war between the demon world and the gods, the goddess of war, whose priesthood is war, has always been fighting on the front line. She was once one of the ten great gods, with a vast kingdom and endless resources. In the early days of the war, she was generous in rewarding subordinate gods and believers, which greatly increased the fighting enthusiasm and combat effectiveness of believers. But at that time, no one expected that this war between gods and demons would last so long and be so tragic. The demon gods and the temples of the gods did not go to war for small goals such as fighting or robbing resources. Their purpose was very clear, that is, to destroy the gods and occupy the entire world of gods.

Just like the demons under their command, they went to war with the mortal world not to enslave all races. From the very beginning, they came with the goal of destroying all races in the mortal world, so they almost left no one alive in the war and massacred the city at will. Only some cities in the war zone would occasionally keep some slaves to build fortifications and make siege equipment.

The anti-demon war is carried out simultaneously in the three realms, namely the war between the gods and the demons, the war between the mortal world and the demons, and the war between the underworld and the demon expeditionary force.

Here we have to admit that the demons are powerful. Even if they invade the three realms at the same time, they can gain great advantages in each battlefield. Over the past thousand years, dozens of gods have fallen in the wars of gods. Although this has also caused similar losses to the demons, with the death of the goddess of life, one of the ten main gods half a year ago, the battlefield of the gods has undoubtedly fallen into a disadvantage.

In the mortal world, half of the entire continent has fallen. If it weren't for the immortal blessing of the Goddess of Life and the emergence of a group of geniuses represented by Eli, who greatly curbed the decline of the battlefield and even took the opportunity to counterattack, I am afraid that the war situation in the mortal world would be even more grim.

As for the underworld, because it is separated by different planes and communication is poor, we can only hear a few words from the undead lords occasionally summoned by high-level necromancers. We don't know the battle situation there in detail, but we can also know that we are at a great disadvantage.

Because of the strength of the demons and the protracted war, the earliest batch of wealthy gods are now exhausted. Other gods have some time to rest and recover slowly during their rotation, but the goddess of war, whose duty is warfare, has never left the battlefield for thousands of years. Her exhaustion cannot be replenished, and she has no time to recover.

Even with His dignity as the Lord God, the wealth of His Kingdom could not support the constant crazy consumption. One hundred years before the War of Gods, He would often reward His subordinate gods and frequently send down divine objects to His believers.

In the 200th year of the God War, He occasionally rewarded subordinate gods and occasionally bestowed divine objects.

In the 300th year of the God's War, He would only reward and bestow divine objects upon those who had made great contributions or achievements.

In the 400th year of the God's War, his kingdom was short of resources, and although he did not demand tribute from the gods and believers, the rewards were already very few.

In the 500th year of the War of Gods, the resources of the Kingdom of War were exhausted. The Goddess of War severed her subordinate ties with the subordinate gods, allowing them to freely defect to the new Lord God. All the servants and spirits in the Kingdom of God were sent to the mortal world or the underworld to participate in the war and were no longer supported by the Kingdom of God.

It was also from that year that the Goddess of War no longer bestowed divine objects on the mortal world. Even the master of the Temple of War never received a gift from the God again.

From then on, the followers of the Goddess of War became treasures without a mother to love them, and completely degenerated into little grasses that no one knew about.

In fact, the initial years were not bad. After all, there was the foundation of a main god-level temple, and its believers were extremely suitable for tempering and growing on the battlefield. At that time, not to mention that most of the front-line soldiers believed in the goddess of war, at least half of the front-line fighters believed in her, one-third of the soldiers believed in her sincerely, and one-tenth of the soldiers were even her fanatics.

But such a grand scene eventually declined due to the lack of the goddess's blessing. It was not because these believers coveted the gods' rewards, but without sufficient resource allocation and occasional stimulation from divine objects, their growth rate was really not as fast as that of believers of other gods, even if they fought hard on the battlefield.

The gradual decline of the Temple of War God is due to just one word: poverty!

They don’t have sufficient resources, no divine objects dropped from the sky, and apart from the benefits of “killing monsters” experience bonus, there is almost nothing to gain…

Here we say "almost", because they are not really left with nothing. At least all of them can receive the blessing of the goddess of war, that is, the blessing of the light of victory.

The blessing of gods does not require the consumption of divine objects or the accumulation of resources, but it is not lossless. It will directly consume the power of faith that gods obtain from believers.

In theory, His blessing is to transform the power of faith contributed by the believers into blessings and return them to the believers. It seems like getting it for free, but in fact, without the power of faith, the cultivation progress of the gods will be greatly affected. Not making any progress for a thousand years is a small matter. If the source of faith is completely lost, it may even affect the gods' own power, causing irreversible damage to them, and their strength will decline instead of improve.

Just like the goddess of war, her anti-demon war has been going on for more than a thousand years, but her strength has never increased. In fact, due to the decline of the kingdom of God and the decrease in believers, her strength has shown a downward trend.

If it weren't for the fact that all gods were united during the anti-demon war, and other gods had not come to help, and often sent down oracles to instruct their popes or temple masters to preach for the Goddess of War, I am afraid that in the next five hundred years, the Temple of War would not only decline, but would gradually disappear.

Of course, this is just an exaggeration. As long as the anti-demon war continues, the Temple of War will not truly disappear. Because of the special nature of the temple, it is destined that a part of the front-line soldiers will join the Temple of War.

After all, the blessing called the Light of Victory is a real battlefield artifact. It is simply the supreme masterpiece of the Goddess of War. Even the blessing of the God of Light is not as effective as the Light of Victory on the battlefield.

Light of Victory: Every time you win a battle against the demons, you can seize 5% of the defeated's power for yourself.

The effect of the blessing is simple and clear, even an illiterate person can understand it at once. Although 5% does not sound high, our predecessors 500 years ago have already tested it and found that the effect of the light of victory can be infinitely stacked.

In other words, it's fun to kill a demon, and you'll feel great if you keep killing them. As you keep getting better, you might even advance to a higher level. After you advance to a higher level, it'll be even more fun to kill... (End of this chapter)
