Who told him to rush up there?.

"Seeing me on behalf of the Pope?"

Hearing Saint Noya's words, Eli was obviously stunned. He had no contact with the Pope of Light in either his previous life or this life. What was his intention in sending the Saint to see him?
In his previous life, he was not qualified to have any interaction with His Holiness the Pope. He just caught a glimpse of Him from afar a few times among the cheering crowd. In this life, he has become somewhat powerful and qualified to meet with His Holiness the Pope, but he has never considered this issue.

After all, compared to him, a lazy man, the Pope of Light is truly busy with affairs of state. He is definitely busier than the Emperor of Dawn and the Queen of Elf combined. Even it is difficult for the cardinals of the Holy See to see him, let alone outsiders.

"Your Holiness the Pope is unable to come see you right now, but Your Excellency Eli is extremely important to the Holy See, so he took the opportunity of Cassia breaking through the Saint Stage and letting me come here first."

Saint Noa hugged Alyssa and said seriously that the saint had a very high status in the Holy See of Light and was considered one of the highest level people. It was very appropriate for her to represent the Pope to meet Eli first.

What's more, she didn't come alone. Another Holy Lady of Light was also here. When the two of them appeared at the same time, it basically represented the Pope's intention.

"Then what advice does Her Royal Highness Saint have for you?"

Since Saint Noa came to see him on behalf of the Pope of Light, Eli had to behave more solemnly. After all, that person was the pinnacle of the entire mortal world and the number one person under the gods.

"I don't deserve your advice. I came here mainly to communicate with Lord Eli. The Holy See intends to include you and your partner in the God-making Plan. The Holy See will provide you and your partner with the divine objects and treasures you need to the greatest extent possible. The part that Cassia took away before is not the most precious collection of the Holy See. If you agree to join, the Holy See will guarantee that you will ascend to the Temple of the Gods within ten years."

Saint Noa may not be a qualified messenger because her tone was too calm when she was negotiating the terms. It was not tempting at all. She was just making a simple statement, just like reciting the terms. But even so, what she said was still very tempting.

By joining the deification plan of the Holy See of Light, they can enjoy the divine objects and treasures provided by the Holy See, which will have an extremely terrifying impact on the strength of all of them.

Even Eli, who had taken advantage of his rebirth to sweep across and absorb many resources of the continent, did not dare to say that he could compete with the Holy See of Light in wealth. After all, the Holy See had gods above them and could always obtain rare things that were not produced in the mortal world.

This can't be considered a pie falling from the sky, it's a complete feast falling from the sky. Although Eli is still young in this life, he has experienced three lives after all. He still understands the simple truth that there is no free lunch in the world.

"Then what do I... and we need to pay? The Holy See of Light can't possibly sponsor us for free, right?"

Saint Noa has already said what she meant. Eli doesn't have much to consider. He just needs to know what the price is, and then he can decide whether to join the god-making plan.

"In fact, the conditions are very simple. After you become gods, you must all become subordinate gods of the God of Light, and... you may be sent to the most dangerous battlefield of the God War..."

When she said this, Saint Noa seemed to lack confidence. She also knew that although the conditions of the Holy See were simple, the price was not easy. It might be okay to become a god, but going to the most difficult battlefield of the war between gods was indeed a bit difficult.

Oh, I see, they want us to be filler babies...

Eli's brain wasn't particularly good, but he wasn't stupid either. Saint Noa didn't hide anything, so of course he understood what she meant.

"It's not that I don't..."

"no!"

Eli didn't think much about it and was about to reply to Saint Noah. However, before he could finish his words, voices of opposition were heard in the living room.

The high priest stood up from her seat. She looked serious and shook her head at Eli before continuing...

"We elves are believers of the Goddess of Life in life and the heroic spirits of the Goddess of Life in death. No matter what happens, we will not betray our beliefs. If an elf in the elf tribe becomes a god, he will automatically become a subordinate god of the Goddess of Life. Even the Lord of Light cannot change this!"

The high priestess spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, but with great determination, leaving no room for compromise. She was the most loyal believer of the Goddess of Life and the messenger of Life, and everyone could understand her determination and ideas.

"That's right, we will never betray our beliefs!"

At this time, Luna also stood up and joined in. As for Wendy and Clea, although they did not loudly oppose, they also stood up and stood beside the high priest to express their attitude.

The attitudes of the elves were very clear. They would not accept the conditions of the Holy See of Light. Although the Goddess of Life had fallen, the elves' faith would not change. That was the main god who had protected them for countless generations. No elf would choose to turn to her.

"We in the Church of Light respect the beliefs of other races. Although the Lady Goddess of Life is no longer with us, she is a great deity who has made outstanding contributions to the world. The Lord King of Light will not rob her of her followers... But if you don't join the God-making plan, then the resources promised to His Excellency Eli will not include you. I hope you can understand. After all, the sacred treasures of the Church of Light are not blown away by the wind."

In fact, Saint Noa had anticipated the reaction of Eli's elven companions before she came, so she did not expect the elven geniuses to be impressed by her conditions at the beginning, and the target of the Holy See was not them.

"That... I can't do that either. We dwarves believe in the God of Forging, and we can't change our beliefs."

Eleanor scratched her head and said in distress that she really wanted the sponsorship of the Holy See of Light, but the elves could not betray their faith, and the same was true for the dwarves.

"Eleanor, did you hear clearly? Saint Noa was talking about me and my companions. Did you..."

Eli turned his head to look at Eleanor at this time, which made the cutie look so surprised that she even stopped scratching her head.

"Is it difficult... is it anything? Since I am not included, then it has nothing to do with me. Just pretend that I didn't say anything!"

After coming to her senses, Eleanor grumbled a few words angrily and slapped Eli on the back of his head. What a hateful guy, always finding some small faults and mistakes to bully her, huh!
"I am from the Dragon Clan, and Lord Dragon God is the ancestor god of my clan, so I will not join either..."

After Eleanor, Thor also expressed his opinion. Although she did not like the Dragon Kingdom and was not a particularly devout believer in the Dragon God, the dragon clan's belief was quite unique. The original dragon bloodline all came from the Dragon God, so He was both the dragon clan's belief and the dragon clan's ancestor. An unsteady belief could be changed, but who could change the ancestors? So Thor had no choice but to refuse.

“It doesn’t matter. The Holy See respects everyone’s beliefs and will not force you to join the God-making plan.” Saint Noa said, turning her gaze to the remaining people. These people are the ones who truly possess the identity of the human race, and they are the target set by the Holy See at the beginning.

However, not all human beings can be won over. For example, the Holy See of Light has never thought of winning Evelyn over. After all, her practice is contrary to that of the Holy See of Light.

"I...I can't join either. I believe in Lord Hades...and the Church of Light and I...will not get along."

Evelyn did not need anyone to remind her, she was very clear about her situation. Although the relationship between Lord Hades and the Temple of the Gods was relatively friendly, death and light had a restraining relationship with each other. Although not as contradictory as pure light and darkness, they still could not play together at all.

With Evelyn's withdrawal, there were not many people left. In fact, when Saint Noah came, the task required by the Holy See to be given to her was only for Jessica and Cecilia.

Because of the excessive attention paid to Eli, the Holy See also tried to understand the people around him. After some investigation, they found that their extraordinary talents could not be hidden at all.

In fact, with Eli's active debut, no one hid this thing. The so-called investigation of the Holy See of Light was nothing more than the situation learned through the Imperial Capital Magic and Martial Arts Academy. Although it was an internal competition of the Magic and Martial Arts Academy, it was not top secret, and the Holy See of Light still had a way to get the news.

But Eli may have some special hobbies. As a human, there are not many human beauties around him. Instead, most of them are beauties from other races.

The God of Light is the deity of the human race. Although he does not require his believers to be human, each race has its own main god. Even if he is the King of Gods, he cannot plunder his believers.

This is even more true when it comes to subordinate gods and following gods. The King of Gods cannot force gods of other tribes to be his subordinates, as there are main gods in their tribes.

"I won't join either. I still prefer the Goddess of War."

Cecilia raised her hand and spoke. She had already confirmed her belief. Only if her master became a god could she change her faith. No one else could do it, not even the God of Light.

Saint Noa didn't care about other people's rejection before, but when she heard that Cecilia was also unwilling to join the god-making plan, she became really anxious.

Her targets for this trip were Eli, Jessica and Cecilia, but now one of them was missing, and she felt it would be difficult to explain when she returned.

"I don't want to join either."

At this time, Jessica also raised her hand like Cecilia, and her opinion was exactly the same as Cecilia's. Although she was different from Cecilia who identified herself as the goddess of war, Jessica also had her own reasons, but she did not think it needed to be explained in detail.

Now Saint Noah was even more speechless. She had heard beforehand that Jessica and Cecilia were always a couple, inseparable, and as close as one person, but she didn't expect that they could maintain such an amazing synchronicity on such an important decision.

"I'd like to join!"

Just when Saint Noah was looking miserable and at a loss, a voice suddenly sounded, which finally gave Saint Noah, who had gained nothing, some encouragement. After all, it seemed that she would not end up with nothing.

When she put on her smile and turned around, she saw Princess Lina of the Dawn Empire standing up. She had just expressed her willingness to join the god-making plan, which was a life-saving surprise for Saint Noa.

Although Lina is not a pure-blooded human, she is a princess who was born and raised in the Dawn Empire. The mark left by the cat people in the Orc Kingdom on her is not deep, and she grew up like a pure-blooded human since she was a child.

"Lina you..."

At this time, many people spoke in unison, but when they realized that everyone was in sync, they all shut up and left only one person to express his opinion.

But as they all remained silent, no one spoke. In this situation, Cecilia, who had always regarded Lina as a competitor, became the first to speak out.

"Lina, you will be out of place if you do this. We are not rejecting the Church of Light. We just value the Master more... It won't take long for the Master to become a god. He also needs powerful believers. Do you understand?"

Cecilia's words may not represent the thoughts of everyone, but at least some people think so. They don't care whether they can become gods faster, they just want Eli to grow more smoothly in the future.

"Then are you sure that Eli himself is absolutely unwilling to join the God-making Project? If he joins, but you don't..."

"Lina, they guessed correctly. I personally do not intend to join this god-making plan."

When Cecilia finished speaking, the somewhat confused Lina wanted to retort, but was quickly interrupted by the person she was talking about.

Lina was even more confused now. Such a good plan could make their strength grow rapidly, allowing them to kill more demons faster. In the future, it could also help everyone become gods faster and help the gods of the Pantheon resist the demons. Although the condition was to become a subordinate god and possibly go to the most dangerous battlefield...

However, compared to killing demons better, what's wrong with these two conditions? Isn't resisting or even destroying the demons the most important thing?

"Why? Isn't it good to follow Lord God of Light to save the world?"

Lina couldn't understand it. She thought she was the most rational person. She didn't have any personal feelings in her heart. She was only focused on destroying demons and saving the world. But why did she become the odd one out in the family?

"It's not that it's bad, it's just that I have my own plans..."

Eli at this time... no, it was not convenient for him to say it clearly at any time. He was really unwilling to follow the God of Light to save the world, because he was different from all those who firmly believed that the God of Light was the most powerful person in the world. He knew very clearly that this big guy could not save the world at all. He could not even save himself.

Becoming a subordinate or subordinate god of a certain god means that he will never be able to surpass the upper limit of the main god, and because of the subordinate relationship, nearly half of the faith power he obtains will have to be "tributed" to the main god. This will make the main god a little stronger, but will obviously hinder the growth of the subordinate god. (End of this chapter)
