Godslayer: A random filename extension?

Lin Linhou remained invisible and followed behind an Egyptian goddess, easily entering their secret meeting room.

[Lin Hou, you... I never realized you had the potential to be a pervert!]

[You follow them every time they go to take a bath?]

[What? You've started to have a thing for married women now? Want a Western version of Cao Cao's style?]

Lin Linhou: ?(? ???w??? ?)?……How is that possible?

"I can't do anything about it. These Egyptian gods are just too cautious. They're setting up all sorts of checkpoints in their own stronghold."

"I'm just worried that they might pretend to be going to take a bath, but actually they'll be teleported into some secret space in the blink of an eye."

Being invisible, he naturally couldn't unleash his divine sense to explore and find his way, so he could only rely on this method of running to find the meeting venue.

Fortunately, perseverance pays off. After randomly following a goddess for half a day, she finally led him to the site of the Egyptian divine council.

And Lin Linhou's prediction actually came true.

However, the final teleportation channel was not in the bath, but in a changing room or similar place after the goddesses finished bathing.

After they finished bathing and put on clothes that Lin Linhou thought were not much different from bed sheets, they entered a palace space through a special light gate, and Lin Linhou naturally followed closely behind.

At this moment, the palace was filled with almost all of the current high-ranking officials of the Egyptian kingdom.

One god-king and three goddesses of the chief god level sat in the highest four corner positions.

Rain God: Taphnut.

God: Nut.

Goddess of fertility: Isis.

Guardian of the Dead: Nephthys.

Hmm... four widows, or rather, three widows. After all, Tefnut's husband's timeline has been altered by the Annihilation.

Although these four main gods are in the same tier, the Rain God, the god-king, is still the most important.

After all, the rain goddess is Nut's mother and Isis and Nephthys's grandmother.

Within the current Egyptian divine realm, as Ra's only child and the only god-king among them, his status is naturally highly revered.

Then there are six lesser gods, divided into pairs, sitting below the three main gods excluding the rain god.

On the third level below, 30 goddesses at the mortal god level were also divided into three groups and seated below the position of the rain god.

The fourth floor is below the main hall, which is also the last floor of the conference hall.

Sixty divine servants also took their seats below, but this level was no longer entirely composed of goddesses; instead, there were nine male deities.

The servants of the gods were clearly not qualified to attend the meeting in this temple.

"Mengqing, this is now the last remaining high-level fighting force of the Egyptian Divine Kingdom, right? What do you think would happen if I detonated the remaining two nuclear bombs right here in this venue?"

Lin Linhou really wanted to capture all these gods in one fell swoop.

With so many gods, if we were to devour their laws, it would be more than enough to nourish the little herb garden or serve as experience points for Xingling.

[...]

[I advise you to abandon this idea. This is their stronghold. Even if their divine kingdom is much weaker than Great Xia, their divine kingdom will still be intact even if Great Xia's Heavenly Court is destroyed.]

Lin Linhou wants to unleash his ultimate skill in the enemy's fountain?

It's not that it's impossible, but the required power would have to be extremely high.

After all, miracles can happen with great effort.

However, with only the Tsar Bomba and the ordinary nuclear bomb remaining, it would be wishful thinking to wipe out the enemy along with their base.

"That's such a shame."

Lin Linhou sighed and shook his head. It was for the same reason that he couldn't directly kidnap people in the enemy's hometown or...

(The author is visiting a grave, so this is only halfway through the update.)

……

(The author has returned from visiting the graves and will finish updating yesterday's chapter later.)

……

For the same reason, everything happening within the Egyptian kingdom was under the surveillance of the sun god.

Whether it's the passage of deities, divine servants, or ordinary citizens within the divine realm, everyone is occasionally scanned by that sun god or other deities.

And the numerous measures within Sun City also completely prevented Lin Linhou from making a move.

Lin Linhou was very suspicious. Had this Egyptian kingdom been frequently invaded before? Otherwise, why did it seem to have such a strong "counter-espionage awareness"?

Therefore, if Lin Linhou wants to capture people or gods, he must wait until they leave the Egyptian pantheon and escape the surveillance of the Sun God's laws.

Taking force is not out of the question, but at most, one could only bind a target at the level of a mortal god or a divine servant.

Unless it's a completely one-sided victory where he can instantly bind and escape, if the opponent puts up any resistance or delays, he'll end up empty-handed.

"Furthermore, their strength is so different from what was reported in the intelligence reports. They're even stronger now."

According to Lin Linhou's intelligence, shouldn't these Egyptian goddesses have all suffered heavy losses in the previous process of resisting Lin Linhou's "Nuclear Peace of the World"?

Now, not only have they all fully recovered from their injuries, but they have also all advanced to the peak of their respective realms.

Especially Nephnut, the rain goddess sitting in the main seat.

In terms of cultivation level, he had actually caught up with Su, whom he had killed, and became a god at the peak of the God King level.

The same applies to other main gods and secondary gods.

[This is normal, because the gods who were previously annihilated in Bactria were merely subject to their divine laws; the core beliefs and divine essence of the Egyptian pantheon were not significantly lost.]

[After those gods fell, compared to them, they actually received a smaller share of the spoils, and the laws of divine positions held a greater weight within their divine realms, so their cultivation levels and strength naturally increased...]

Especially after the fall of the gods, even the sun god Ra personally healed all the remaining gods.

With the increased cohesion of faith, the power of the Egyptian gods even reached its first peak since the fog descended.

After all, if the original divine kingdom is likened to an ark that can carry 200 people, and suddenly 100 people fall into the water and die, then the remaining resources are simply "congratulations on getting rich" for the other survivors.

Even the sun god who had suffered serious injuries was restored as a result.

And that is exactly the situation in Egypt right now.

Another aspect is that they must quickly incorporate and uphold all the laws of the divine realm.

Only then can we defend against the fog that has been cleared by the nuclear bomb spreading back.

"Good heavens, have I just helped the Egyptian divine kingdom undergo a purification process?"

Lin Linhou smiled, but he also knew that this kind of purification was not good news, at least not for the Egyptian kingdom.

就比如现在，1+1+3+6+30+60=101。

If we exclude the sun god Ra, how can the Egyptian kingdom, which has only one hundred gods left, survive for long in this misty region?

Even if Lin Linhou doesn't interfere, they will probably disappear on their own in a few hundred years.

This is nothing more than a new round of short-sighted, destructive practices, a fleeting, desperate surge before the inevitable collapse...

While Lin Linhou was pondering, the meeting of the Egyptian gods also began.

Lin Linhou came to his senses and seemed to hear news about the Ancient God Church again.

Lin Linhou: ( ??_? ?)……

Are these investors going to invest in shares again?

As expected, the rain god Nephnut stated that, according to the oracle of the sun god...

The Egyptian divine kingdom is too weak now and urgently needs external support to strengthen it.

Great Xia was naturally the only suitable target.

They were also certain that after the previous battle, the Great Xia would not be able to muster even greater fighting strength in a short period of time.

Moreover, having learned from their previous experience, this time they will split up, using a feigned attack while secretly advancing, and ensuring they can evacuate at any time.

The Rain God instructed the main and secondary gods present to first launch harassing attacks around the border of the Great Xia, diverting the Great Xia's top combat forces.

Then the Church of the Ancient Gods will somehow reopen the two channels of guidance, giving the Egyptian kingdom the opportunity to send weaker gods to carry out religious acts such as raids and theft of the nation's destiny.

The chosen agents for this operation were the nine male deities among the divine servants.

The oracle of the sun god indicated this.

If the operation succeeds, he will once again use the laws of creation to assist these nine male gods in advancing from divine servants to chief gods and secondary gods.

She even became the husband of three other main goddesses and six secondary goddesses, in addition to the rain god.

This is equivalent to restoring the high-level structure of the Egyptian pantheon to its original state.

This order naturally flattered the nine divine servants, as it represented a direct advancement of two major ranks, and they would also become the new husbands of those previously high and mighty goddesses.

However, it was obvious that at this moment, the three main gods and the six secondary gods all had slightly furrowed brows, and their faces looked very unpleasant.

After all, even a goddess with a history of complicated relationships would find it hard to accept that her husband had just passed away and she was immediately betrothed to another stranger.

The key point is that these nine divine servants were the lowest-ranking members of the gods in the past, neither high nor low in rank, and they all had many wives and concubines, and some even had extravagant private lives.

Even the lowest-ranking deity is still a deity, and they have the right to lord it over the people and indulge in their desires, which is why they have an extremely bad reputation.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been excluded when the large army was dispatched to raid the Great Xia and "divide the cake".

But now, it is these nine people who have survived, and as one of the few surviving male gods in the Egyptian pantheon, they have even been given the opportunity for promotion.

However, although the three goddesses were very unwilling in their hearts, it was, after all, a divine decree issued by their supreme leader, the sun god Ra.

Therefore, they cannot directly voice their opposition, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the sun god Ra.

The six lesser gods didn't even dare to show their displeasure.

Otherwise, in these turbulent times, they might be stripped of their divine positions and replaced directly.

"Heh, this is really interesting. By some twist of fate, a few male heirs with bad reputations have survived in the Widow Goddess Kingdom."

Lin Linhou sat leisurely in any random spot, watching the grand spectacle unfold.

And this great sun god really would use any means to ensure the continuation of the Egyptian divine kingdom, throwing out three new main gods and six secondary gods, as well as the wives of the original owners, as temptations to drive and spur them to work hard.

One of the main gods was even Ra's granddaughter, and two of his great-granddaughters.

[Doing it this way, it seems, could easily cause discord among the gods within the Egyptian pantheon in the long run.]

Ra's actions were somewhat similar to robbing Peter to pay Paul internally. This kind of behavior, where he used his subordinate gods as pawns without any discussion or negotiation, easily made all the gods feel insecure.

Even goddesses at the level of chief gods cannot escape this fate, so what about the mortal gods and divine servants present at the meeting today?

At this very moment, Dream Detection revealed that many deities had fleeting thoughts of "rebellion" or "escape" in their hearts.

After all, loyalty and faith are reciprocal. If loyalty and faith can no longer bring benefits, but may even lead to one's own demise, then faith and loyalty will be slowly eroded until they disappear completely.

As beings at the level of gods, they are beings who adhere to their own laws, and those royal methods such as "keeping the people ignorant makes them easier to govern" or "hypnotizing and brainwashing" are no longer applicable.

After all, it's a fantasy world of cultivation, where people often emphasize that if someone doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be punished by heaven and earth. Even relatively selfless gods at least seek a good reputation.

If one blindly remains loyal, not only will one end up with a miserable fate, but one will also be used as a negative example or be infamous for eternity. What is the point of that?

People worship the sun not because it is so powerful, but because it brings them warmth and light.

[This action by the sun god was undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse, yet he found himself trapped in a path he believed he had no other choice.]

"Well, that's true."

The Egyptian kingdom is now in turmoil, and the sun god can only maintain its balance by having the remaining nine male gods bear the power to resist the fog in the future.

He actually had another option, but he would never take that other path.

That is, to bring the Egyptian gods, including the people of the divine kingdom, to submit to Bactria, and after a round of "royal education" to remove the dross and take the essence, they will become a certain minority group, or something like the Four Heavenly Kings.

In this way, the gods of the Egyptian kingdom and their people can be kept at peace.

This may be a good thing for the gods in the future, but for the top gods, especially the highest leader, it is a completely bad thing.

Our ancestors said that deep down everyone thinks it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

Not to mention those who were originally from prominent families.

Having held high positions for so long, even in death, they would rather not become second-in-command or even a prisoner.

This can no longer be called pride; it can only be described as an extreme desire.

As for the people of the gods? The people of the Egyptian gods were merely tools kept by the Egyptian gods to draw strength from their faith.

In the eyes of the Egyptian gods, those divine beings were nothing more than livestock, cattle, and horses. Only the managers among them, the divine servants who could directly transmit information to the gods, were considered to have any autonomy.

For example, how could the sun god Ra possibly give up his status, rights, and power as the sole supreme god of his divine kingdom and humbly beg for peace and protection from Great Xia for the sake of the future happiness of a herd of livestock?

After all, if he were to seek peace, integrate, and become subordinate, he would likely be punished by having his laws dissipated and be demoted to the level of a God-King.

At least he can no longer act like the supreme god of Egypt, doing whatever he wants.
