CHAPTER 1353: CHAPTER 717: UPPER-LEVEL NEWS BROUGHT BY LADY STRATEGY_3

With countless glorious wars and victories in battles, Lady Strategy’s prestige in this area has been forged. The Victory Clergy will naturally fall upon her head without any need to seize or snatch, thereby opening the possibility of advancing the Victory Clergy.

At that time, the Goddess of Luck, Tymora, would certainly not stand idly by.

"That’s my business. Since you’re here, why not listen to our development plan?" Gaven, of course, did not want to easily let Lady Strategy go.

"You know the rules. Regarding worldly affairs, especially those related to my clergy, I must remain silent. I find myself at a disadvantage here; it would be better for Katherine to provide you with advice."

Lady Strategy’s gaze fell upon Gaven, as if penetrating directly into the depths of his soul. "I have come here not for the Victory Clergy, but for your affairs. Your recent actions have been quite significant; concerning the initiation of the Road Clergy, all the True Gods, relevant or not, are already aware."

"So quickly? I thought I was being subtle enough!" Gaven was not too surprised by the upper-level news brought by Lady Strategy.

After all, the Road Clergy is different from the Undead Clergy and the Divine Office of Dreams; the latter two already exist and have merely opened a small branch with Gaven.

In Felen, the Road Clergy has never been formally consolidated. When the Road Divinity spark ignited, the entire Law of Felen likely underwent adjustments.

Mortals cannot perceive such adjustments, but they cannot be concealed from the True Gods, who can easily guess.

"You call this subtle? You’ve openly erected four Road Idols, all in your own likeness. Your little ploy can’t even fool many mortals, let alone All Gods." Lady Strategy bluntly exposed Gaven.

"What is the reaction of All Gods?" Gaven took the opportunity to probe the upper-level intelligence.

This is the benefit of having connections above, at least you can know some top-secret information.

"Most are observers, after all, the Road Clergy is entirely new and neutral, useful not only to the good gods but even more beneficial to the Evil Gods than harmful. Many are watching to see what extent you, a mortal, can achieve.

Or rather, they are waiting for you to grow big and strong so that they can reap a bigger fruit of victory."

Lady Strategy’s gaze bore undisguised admiration, "Your choice is wise; you would rather confine this strength at the mortal level than easily step into the ranks of the gods, rendering many of their tactics unusable.

It’s a pity; I had no such choice back then, or my divine path would have gone smoother.

The world only sees the splendor and strength of the True Gods but does not know that the competition here is far more ruthless and intense than among mortals; even the slightest mistake means both form and spirit are annihilated."

What Lady Strategy referred to was Gaven’s delay in merging with the Road Divinity Spark, stepping into the demigod domain.

Obviously, her advice was also for Gaven to accumulate enough foundations in the worldly realm before stepping into the domain of gods.

"The path of the mortal world, I have not yet understood. How dare I easily tread the divine path? Especially with the changing faith laws, the relationship between All Gods and mortals is more intimate.

Gods have the advantages of gods, mortals have the benefits of mortals. At the Mortal Stage, utilizing the powers of gods to accumulate enough authority and benefits for oneself before stepping onto the divine path is the most correct choice."

Lady Strategy’s response made Gaven more determined to persist in the mundane world for now.

With his current divine armor and the support of these several True Gods behind him, even encountering a Divine Nature Incarnation, there is a possibility of seeking help and escaping, even if he cannot defeat them.

But upon reaching the True Gods level, where Divine Nature Incarnations are no longer the enemy’s limit, he would immediately become a small fry.

Before making sense of his comfort zone, it’s best not to leave it easily.

Moreover, his unique current state is his greatest advantage; even many True Gods have to rely on him, so does Lady Strategy, and so does the Forest Queen.

Earlier, when she entered the Dragon Oak Dream Realm, it was impossible not to perceive the Dream Divine Spark contained within, yet she turned a blind eye and never mentioned it.

It is not that the Divine Office of Dreams does not align with her, but rather the value displayed by the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and Gaven far exceeds that of a single Divine Office of Dreams.

"It’s best that you understand this yourself, but the intelligence I provide is only targeted at most of the True Gods. You must not, by any means, become careless; many True Gods may not act personally, but this does not mean their servants and believers will not. Even if not offering it to their True Gods, they can use it themselves to step on the demigod path." Lady Strategy admonished.

"Understood, possessing a precious item invites sin! Since All Gods know this, it is likely an open secret now." Gaven nodded in understanding, "But this is also good; I no longer have to hide and conceal. I can openly promote this aspect of faith and continue to accumulate this advantage."

Everything has its pros and cons.

By utilizing the power of True Gods in advance, one must bear the price of being watched.

From now on, he is a moving treasure. As long as someone takes him down, not only can they gain a pile of divine armor but also the Road Divinity Spark.

This will drive countless people and countless creatures insane.

As for whether they have the capability to take him down and acquire the divine armor and Divinity Spark?

If people in this world were so rational and self-aware, there wouldn’t be so many adventure stories and underdog victories.

Never underestimate a person’s gambler mentality.

Even Gaven sometimes harbors such a mindset, doesn’t he?

It’s just that he gambled and won.

Even before this, not even the Goddess of Luck, Tymora, dared to clearly declare victory or defeat; she could only ensure which side had slightly better odds.
