I, The Dragon Overlord Chapter 371

The Goddess of Morning's words descended upon everyone, but there was no reaction at all – neither applause nor booing. The audience simply waited for her next words.

“Your Highness Lorentia, you initiated this meeting, so hurry up and say what you want. Everyone is busy with things and we do not all have time to waste on frivolities.”

The God of War, Marzalis, spoke out. His voice was like a metallic staccato and like spears and swords clashing. It was husky and contained the harshness of war.

The God of War and the Goddess of Morning were having some rivalry between them at the moment Louie leaned on his throne and looked at the two gods with a smile. From the looks of it, the God of War possessed a competitive spirit, making him quite dissatisfied that the Goddess of Morning was above him.

The other gods did not say anything, but from their expressions and gestures, it was clear that they were in agreement with the God of War's words. The gods had just ascended, so it was more important than anything else to gather their incarnations and perfect their divine kingdom.

“His Highness Marzalis is right. If you have anything to say, please just say it. We are gods, so there's no need to add fanciful words like mortals.”

The Silver Moon Goddess supported the God of War's opinion. She stared at the Goddess of Morning with vague hostility. Lorentia was indifferent to the God of War's words, but this orderly good God had ferocity in her eyes as she looked at the Silver Moon Goddess.

Louie became curious and carefully observed the Silver Moon Goddess. It finally dawned on him that when the Silver Moon Goddess ascended, she had surprisingly recovered a part of the divine authorities of light and sun.

As the first Goddess of the Sun and Light, Selune had lost her important divine authorities in her battle with Shae. It was then taken by the Goddess of Morning, who used her divine authorities of light and sun to gain the status of a powerful god.

However, Selune was the essence of light. This gave the Goddess of Morning some restrictions in her power. If the Goddess of Morning possessed the complete divine authority, then she could also tear off Selune's essence and become the new essence of light.

'But Lorentia is very smart. She let Selune go knowing that obtaining the two complete divine authorities would make her archenemies with Shae. In order to let Shae continue to target Sleune, she did not take the complete divine authority and only the majority of it.'

'But Lorentia also did not expect that Selune would once again take back a portion of the divine authorities when she was ascending.'

Now, Lorentia possessed the divine authorities of morning, noon, and a majority of light. On the other hand, Selune had obtained dusk and a small part of light. The combination of all these was the complete divine authority of sun and light. It could be said that the two gods were now mortal enemies!

'No, it's not like Lorentia didn't anticipate this situation. She had already predicted this and made two preparations. She had taken the God of Justice's divine authority to leave a back door for herself.'

Thinking of this, Louie sucked in the cold air. None of these ancient gods who had survived for hundreds of thousands of years were easy to deal with. This group of gods who had survived the Era of Disaster was simply a group of old foxes.

If the Goddess of Morning could defeat Selune and obtain the divine authority of sun and light, she would immediately be able to reach level 20 and become the strongest among the gods. Even if she lost the battle, she still possessed the divine authority of justice. As long as it was in her hands, she could reach level 16. She was simply invincible no matter how she fought. Whether she lost or won, she would still be a high-tier god.

Justice also matched Loretia's nature.

'Only at this moment will I recognize you as the strongest!'

Louie joked in his heart. He knew that if he had not encountered the Serpent of Order as well as other miraculous encounters, he would probably not be able to do anything to this goddess.

'With my alliance with Her Highness Selune, it's also possible that I will have to go up against Lorentia… However, the Mother Earth Goddess also wants to become a god with level 20 divine power. She might have a bone to pick with the Goddess of Morning, and if the Goddess of Morning learns that the Mother Earth Goddess has returned to her original nature, she may also dislike her. Heh, there's much fun to be had.'

Louie became more and more interested in the relationship between the gods. It was really very complicated and every god could be an ally or an enemy.

Even if they were life and death enemies, the gods would not make a move inside the Pantheon. Here, everyone was only a projection through divinity. There was no one stronger than anyone. After the words of the God of War and the Goddess of Silver Moon, the Goddess of Morning continued, “Everyone here is either a god who has survived from the Era of Disaster or a new god.”

“… The past agreement of the gods has long expired, and the vast majority of the gods who signed the agreement have also fallen, so now is the right time for us to sign a new agreement in the presence of all gods in the Pantheon.”

After the words were spoken, an agreement inscribed in the void appeared in front of each god. It was written in the language of the gods and had a great deal of content, but the gods understood its specifics with just a thought.

The agreement was mainly about one thing. That was the gods were strictly forbidden from fighting on a large scale on the main continent and forbidden from destroying the main continent. If any of the gods violated the agreement, they would band together and attack the offending god.

This was completely understandable to Louie. The main continent was the source of faith for the gods. Although this realm was tough, combat between gods was still capable of destroying it. This would affect all the gods and even make them lose the authority to rule the world. This was something that no god could allow. It could even be said that the gods had an obligation to protect the main continent.

The gods protected the main continent and obtained faith and power in exchange.

“Seconded!”

Those ancient gods looked over the agreement and did not find anything different from the past agreements so they all agreed to it. The new gods also agreed to it as it was something good for all the gods, so naturally, no one refused or even dared to.

The four elemental gods also agreed. Although their source of faith was not on the main continent, the four elements had only given birth to four gods. Leaving aside how the four were against each other, them uniting together against all the gods was like hitting a stone with an egg.

This agreement was the most fundamental and important agreement among the gods.

The Goddess of Morning had already anticipated this. Her figure that was bathed in light flashed. A stone tablet appeared in the center of the Pantheon. The gods focused all thoughts on the plain stone tablet, and in the next instant, the words in the agreement were carved onto the stone in all languages of the world.

Then without anyone having to mention it, everyone's thoughts remained on the stone and pressed with their divine nature and divine power to indicate that they signed the agreement.

At that moment, Louie, for the first time, felt the power of all the gods. They intertwined with magnificence and grandeur, seeming to contain the foundation and supreme authority of this world.

With the endorsement of the gods, the tablet became an extraordinary divine artifact that stood at the center of the Pantheon that also symbolized the covenant of the gods.

“When a new god ascends, just let them come to this Pantheon and have them leave their mark on top of this stone tablet.”

With the words of the Goddess of Morning, the first and most important event of the meeting ended.

In the future, any new god would have to leave its mark on this stone tablet. If any god did not sign their name, the gods would probably join forces to annihilate them.

This was equivalent to a charter for the gods.

However, gods were beings that did what they wanted. It was impossible to use only the agreement to bind them. The only thing that could make the gods comply was only this line. As for other matters, gods would not care. Even if a god were to kill a mortal with a single finger, no other god would care at all.

Naturally, even if a god wants to kill someone, it wouldn't be easy to kill those that were specially protected by gods. For example, if another god wanted to kill Alexia, Louie would definitely interfere and they would be subject to retaliation.

“For the second matter, it is about the God of Death. Now that a new God of Death has not been born, the Underworld remains unmanaged. In order to prevent the demons of the Bottomless Abyss and the Devils of Hell from stealing souls from the Underworld, I propose that everyone send an incarnation to be stationed in the Underworld. The first goal of this is to deter demons and devils, and the second is to guide your own believers back to your divine kingdom. This will be the status quo until a new God of Death is born to take over this work.”

The Goddess of Morning spoke out once more. Her voice was soft and contained a righteous aura that would easily gain the trust of most of the gods except for the evil gods who would feel displeased.

“Seconded!”

There was nothing much to say about this. No god would refuse to do something when it comes to their own believers.

As for the God of Death, the title might look lofty, but the God of Death did the most tiring miscellaneous work. All of the gods' believers were assigned to the God of Death upon their passing before being forwarded to their respective deity's divine kingdoms. It was a mundane position with few benefits.

“For the third matter, there are many of you who have just ascended so you may not know about the matter that happened 30,000 years ago. What I am going to discuss now is the details of the Era of Disaster as well as the problem of the Goddess of Night…”

The Goddess of Morning's words caused an uproar and the Pantheon turned chaotic. Louie also secretly glanced at the well-behaved Shae close to him and revealed a thoughtful look.
