Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 16 The Status of Demigod

The difference between a kingdom and an empire in many dimensions is actually just a difference in name.

Among the gods of Blue Star, there is a set of relevant standards for this. Although it is not mandatory, it can be regarded as a consensus.

After all, when the gods of Blue Star communicate with each other, they often bring along their own clan civilizations. If the clan civilization under a god has a total population of only a few thousand, or ten or twenty thousand people, it would be a bit funny to call itself a kingdom or even an empire.

Therefore, among the gods of Blue Star, it is generally necessary for the clan civilization under their command to form a complete civilization system and have at least three or more elite legions or stronger legions before they can call themselves a kingdom.

As for an empire, it needs to rule at least an entire large plane, or a group of planes, to be qualified to call itself an empire.

With the current strength of the Kingdom of Dawn, it is still far from reaching the standards of the Empire.

The so-called empire established by those deep-sea fishmen is naturally not the empire-level civilization recognized by the gods' followers such as the legion commander.

Even so, this also means that they at least have a certain order and can organize the fish people in the entire ocean to a certain extent.

But behind this order is a greater chaos. The winged warriors who have had contact with the murlocs have cast camp identification spells on them, and the results they obtained are all chaotic evil without exception.

According to reports from the elite teams that went to the deep sea to gather intelligence, there were originally many other intelligent marine races in the ocean of this demiplane, but they seemed to have been exterminated by the deep-sea fishmen.

The many underwater cities they left behind have also been occupied by deep-sea merfolk. It is likely that merfolk are the only intelligent race left in the entire ocean.

There is also the rising sea level reported by Kane's team. All signs indicate that the existence of this fishman empire is not that simple.

Of course, a maritime empire composed solely of mermen is itself the biggest anomaly, and there must be some unknown secrets hidden in it.

The original plan of the Legion Commander was to explore all the maritime forces and conquer as many as possible before the other three Legions completely conquered all the land forces.

It seems that this may be difficult to achieve now. The deep-sea fishmen have established their own empire. Even from some intelligence obtained by the elite team, this so-called empire is more like a loose large-scale tribal alliance, but they do have their own ways of contact.

A rash conquest would easily alert the enemy, and the four major legions are not yet ready for a full-scale war with the maritime forces.

After all, the ocean does not belong to the Winged People's territory. In order to have no worries, the four legions are also preparing to conquer all the land forces in this demiplane first, and then go deep into the ocean territory.

As for the Fourth Legion, because its foundation was relatively weak and conquering land forces did not require so many people, they were assigned the task of exploring marine intelligence.

The original purpose of assigning such a task to the Fourth Legion was to give them an opportunity to make meritorious service and to serve as a form of support for the newly established legion.

But judging from the current intelligence, forget about making any contribution. It would be good enough if we could find out the specific information about the Deep Sea Mermaid Empire. We don't ask for any merit, but we just hope to avoid making any mistakes.

Thinking of this, the legion commander felt helpless and sighed deeply.

As for the other three legions, they had a relatively smooth conquest of the land races. As a guard legion composed entirely of Templars, and possessing the ability to fly, they were able to completely defeat the land races of this demiplane with a complete dimensionality reduction attack, achieving a complete crushing victory.

Various environments such as swamps and rainforests have no effect on these winged warriors. With the blessing of [Battle Master], ordinary harsh environments cannot affect their combat effectiveness at all.

Overall, the process of conquering the entire demiplane was relatively smooth. Once the three legions conquered all the land races, and with the various intelligence gathered by the Fourth Legion, it was only a matter of time before the demiplane was completely conquered.

……

The overseas conquest is progressing steadily. Although there is the uncertain factor of the Murloc Empire, it will not affect the overall situation.

In any case, as long as there is no demigod-level power in this plane, he is not qualified to confront the Kingdom of Dawn head-on.

Chen Li was relatively relieved about this. The demigod had already said when they were making a deal that there was no demigod-level power in this demiplane. The [Void Anchor] cast by the demigod was not so bad as to be unable to judge even this most basic information.

Therefore, after observing for a while and confirming that there was no problem, Chen Li withdrew from the Place of Origin and returned to Blue Star.

Billions of years have passed since we came to Blue Star from the Land of Origin, and the social structure of the entire Blue Star has already changed a lot from what it was long ago.

After all, it is a super civilization where all the members are gods, and the lowest level of them can become demigods. They are unique in the entire endless void.

Although from the perspective of the power structure of Blue Star, demigods are only at the bottom, but in the entire endless void, demigods have their own place no matter where they go.

The powerful strength and almost infinite lifespan make the demigod the pinnacle of conventional combat power in the entire endless void.

In the outside world, although it is difficult for them to rule an entire plane or even a group of planes as they do in the Place of Origin, they are demigods with a huge number of believers, and are a force that cannot be underestimated in any plane.

Even some of the most powerful demigods can seize a piece of territory that belongs entirely to them in the endless void, turning an entire plane into their own foundation and possessing the potential to become true gods.

These demigods who have extremely high status in the endless void will not fall from the clouds to the bottom of the valley all of a sudden even if they return to Blue Star.

It is impossible for a situation to occur where one moment he is displaying his divine power in the endless void, and the next moment he returns to Blue Star and has to rely on serving tea and water to others to make a living.

In today's Blue Star, there is actually no so-called concept of the bottom layer. Every citizen of Blue Star is an independent and powerful individual and can get enough respect everywhere.

Almost all service industries are run by the gods' followers. For most of the gods' followers, working on Blue Star is not only an honor, but also brings extremely generous rewards. This kind of opportunity is hard to come by.

A dignified demigod would not fall to the point of serving others, unless he has his own hobbies, then there is nothing to say.
