Facing Lis’s inquiry, Morris smiled wryly and nodded: "You’re right, that’s indeed the case." "So, where did things go wrong?" Lis sat down opposite Morris, his expression becoming a bit more solemn. Once he handed over the relevant information to the Church of the Gods and the Elf Kingdom, there was almost nothing left for him to intervene in, strictly speaking. Even with his special status, it was impossible for him to interfere in the internal affairs of others. Regardless of whether it was the Elf Kingdom, it made no difference. Moreover, from Lis’s perspective, as long as the Church of the Gods didn’t make any major mistakes, there shouldn’t be any unexpected occurrences, right? In the past {Phillips Crystal} mutation event, the Church of the Gods and the Evil God believers were entangled for quite a long time without a clear winner or loser. It makes no sense that the Church of the Gods couldn’t hold out so quickly when Lis provided intelligence. Facing Lis’s inquiry, Morris sighed and said: "Actually, the attacks on those small worlds occupied by Evil God believers have been quite smooth, especially after we carefully selected the targets for attack." "We successfully occupied most of the small worlds, and the Evil God believers suffered significant casualties caught off guard." "However, we didn’t expect that even with the careful selection of targets, there would still be unexpected incidents." Seeing Morris’s appearance, Lis’s mind quickly contemplated. Could it be that the Evil God believers are flipping the table? Other than this, Lis couldn’t think of any other possibilities that would cause the Church of the Gods to fail in attacking those small worlds. Did they use Holy Artifacts or Half-God Artifacts? Did a demigod make a move? Or is it that... those divine beings couldn’t hold back any longer? Lis shook his head slightly. Situations were noted during discussions with the Church of the Gods. After all, while the small worlds chosen as targets weren’t the most critical for Evil God believers, the possibility of powerful beings or methods couldn’t be ruled out either. Therefore, the Church of the Gods had specific countermeasures in place for this situation. As for the third possibility, there was really no way around it. Those beings above the divine rank were beyond Lis’s current ability to speculate. However, Lis didn’t think those Evil Gods would make a move so easily. In the past, during the stalemate between the Church of the Gods and the Evil God believers, those of divine rank never intervened. But now it seems, the situation has changed. Noticing Lis’s gaze, Morris nodded and said: "Indeed, we didn’t expect a divine being to make a direct move." "In the Ice Dawn Mini World occupied by the followers of the Winter Goddess Ouluer, just as the Suffering God Church’s divine officers were about to fully take over that small world, the Winter Goddess Ouluer made her move." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel·fiɾe·net "She destroyed that small world, including even her own believers!" "If it weren’t for the Suffering God’s timely intervention, the church’s divine officers might have been completely annihilated." Lis let out a breath. If she really made a move, then the implications are quite different. Before this, Lis’s understanding of the All Gods was not very deep, strictly speaking. After all, in the past, players mostly engaged in major events within the Gaia World, rarely involving disputes above the divine level. At most, they could gather scattered clues from the Church of the Gods and analyze them. After roughly reviewing the historical records of the Elves, Lis discovered that the relationships between the All Gods were not as simple as they seemed. In fact, the accumulated conflicts and disputes over millennia were quite complex. For instance, Lis had a fairly pleasant cooperation with the True God Church. But in reality, the disputes within the True God Church were no less than those among Evil Gods. The reason Lis, or players, felt the True God Church was more reliable is partly because the Church of the Gods truly believed in the existence of divine beings and would self-constraint to spread the faith. On the other hand, players mainly came into contact with churches within the Human God System in the True God Church. Under the alliance of the God of Dawn Losanda and the Earth Mother Goddess Shangzhiya, the human gods were quite united. However, the Gaia World is not limited to the Human God System. In the True God Church, there are also divine beings from various races like Elves, Beastmen, and Dwarves. And the conflicts and hatreds between different races are no less intense than those toward Evil Gods and Abyss Lords. For instance, the divine beings of Elves and Dwarves often clashed, having many disputes. But Elves and Beastmen divine beings were true arch-enemies. Only under the threat of Evil Gods and Abyss Lords did the two sides barely manage not to end in violence, as part of the Order Camp of True Gods. This situation occurred quite frequently. For instance, with the Human God System, almost all divine beings from other races harbored significant hostility toward human gods. Most notably, the Beast Race. The reason for this was that the Human God System, as the last victor of the previous tidal age, possessed the strongest strength with two powerful divine powers and many intermediate divine beings. Thus, humans occupied the majority of habitable lands on the continent of Gaia World. And there was a tacit understanding among the All Gods not to target each other’s believers directly. Each divine church was painstakingly cultivated and was the most important way to gain faith. Even for opposing divine beings, targeting the other’s believers was considered a last resort to flipping the table by the All Gods. The consequences of tearing down the facade were something no one could bear. If a divine being’s believers in Gaia World were all killed, then even with Prayers in the Divine Country, they couldn’t sustain long before falling. And now, while the intervention of the Winter Goddess Ouluer didn’t result in severe consequences, the cost of breaking the tacit understanding would not disappear. Is this why they are part of a Chaos camp of Evil Gods? Even if not a Demon, sometimes one truly doesn’t know what they’re thinking, always causing major disruptions.... With such an event happening, the remaining trust among the All Gods is now on the verge of collapse. Especially for cooperators like the Church of the Gods and Lis, nobody wishes to become a direct target for divine intervention. It’s time to keep a low profile for a while! Lis secretly decided in his heart. "What should we do next?" Lis looked at Morris and asked in a deep voice. "Even though this has occurred, what needs doing must still continue." "Otherwise, it would waste all previous efforts." "My Lord has already issued an oracle and will pay attention to this event." "As far as I know, other churches have similar situations." Morris’s expression turned a bit heavy, then looked at Lis and said: "The reason I’m specifically coming to you is to inform you about this matter." "Be more careful during this period." "Being a World Tree Favored, you have already attracted a lot of attention from Evil Gods, and it’s possible they might seize this chance to make a move." "Even with the protection of the Elf Gods, it is still quite a dangerous situation." After pausing for a moment, Morris continued: "So, best not to leave Gaia World recently, and it’s even better not to leave Kane Floating City." "Got it, thanks for letting me know." Lis nodded at Morris, expressing his gratitude. If not for Morris’s information, he really wouldn’t know that such an event occurred. In the past, this never happened, and possibly it was a chain reaction of his proactive changes. Lis had no regrets; who could predict a certain future? Nevertheless, Lis became more vigilant. Going to a small world now might likely lead to trouble. He certainly did not wish to face a crazed divine being! Thankfully, he had already obtained the {Thunder} world rune. Lis had no plans to enter a small world anytime soon, and he could just take this time to honestly enrich himself and increase his reserves. After informing Lis, Morris soon left. As an archbishop of the Dawn Church, he was quite busy recently. Lis then went to meet the second guest who had arrived. Upon seeing Lis, Oriolan spoke with a smile: "Lis, the Councilman asks you to visit the Pan-Continent Mage Association!"
