Capítulo 1190: Chapter 1190: Still a Little Short (Happy New Year)

After employing some tactics, the Rhino God before them was finally slain.

“Is everyone recovered? Let’s continue.” Jera didn’t pause and, seeing the others were almost fully recovered, continued advancing. While moving forward, he used Divine Power Crystals to restore himself to full health.

There was no time to control this territory, nor time to enhance his own strength.

However, his subordinates did gain some improvements in strength. They would receive feedback as long as they occupied a territory.

Unlike gods, who must completely control a territory and stabilize it for some time before gaining control rights.

Of course, territory feedback can only reach the peak demigod level; without the empowerment of territorial strength, it’s impossible to ascend to a divine level. This is an absolute rule in this world, one that no one can break.

The task of their team was the most arduous, so everyone participating was at least a Hero Unit, with the rest being those Undead Creatures. Everyone carried some Divine Power Crystals, ready for recovery at any time.

As they crossed this territory, the group quickly arrived at another territory.

Having had little rest, they reached their destination in less than a day. After taking a short break, everyone began the attack directly.

Upon receiving their message, the prepared armies around also mobilized, attacking from multiple directions.

Suddenly, this territory lost a lot, alerting the gods on the other side.

The gods of the neighboring territory did not send any signals before they died, perhaps because they weren’t prepared at all. Moreover, they had recently been attacking each other, and their relationships were not good, so there was no point in notifying each other. Even if they did, it might not be a good thing.

Furthermore, their pace of actions on this side was so quick that intelligence hadn’t yet spread.

Because he didn’t stabilize the territory, Fang Jie also didn’t allocate new territory resources, so Jera gained no enhancements.

Without changes in aura, they wouldn’t be alerted. After this sudden outbreak, the gods on this side thought they were the first to be attacked. “Damn, these bastards, don’t they know how to unite?”

After a dark curse, he planned to hold out for a while, until others discovered what was happening and came to assist.

After all, the reason they revealed themselves from the shadows was the threat posed by Jera.

As long as they could eliminate Jera, they would eventually unite. The threat from other surrounding gods was too great; without uniting, they wouldn’t stand a chance against the neighboring gods.

They didn’t seek expansion, but neither did they wish to be eradicated by others.

As a result, the battle here unfolded much like the previous battles, almost a replica.

When Jera led his people to the forefront, the gods here were stunned to find out how fast the opponent moved. After being suppressed, they realized just how lethal the attribute suppression was.

And when Jera restored his strength, the god before him nearly collapsed, as if cheating was involved.

Another god was dealt with, and Jera didn’t rest, continuing forward tirelessly. Due to the lack of strong subordinates, the people who ran along couldn’t rest and had to keep going.

If there were enough strong subordinates, would it be necessary to do this now?

However, some people were swapped out because they needed recovery after being injured.

Some others, though dead, were resurrected and couldn’t recover all their strength right away, also needing rest.

Jera finally recognized that the power of the gods could indeed destroy souls. Some who died at the hands of gods only left behind lingering soul fragments, which Jera’s Resurrection Technique couldn’t restore.

After all, he was not Fang Jie, who could use the Soul Law to complete their souls, unlike Jera.

After hastily organizing things, Jera continued his journey. The entire process took less than a week, and the four gods around them were all eradicated. However, to completely occupy this area would still take some time.

To stabilize it entirely, it would take at least a month, maybe even longer.

This is to let the people see their power and hope for the future. If it were others, it would take one or two years to fully stabilize such a vast area, which was the biggest challenge.

With the Undead suppressing, those wishing to cause trouble had no courage.

“Still a bit short.” In the void, Fang Jie sensed the power of the territory and shook his head.

Because the current size of the territory was just a bit short of promoting Jera to a Middle-Level God. Fang Jie wanted to cultivate Jera fully to a Middle-Level God, which would then create a form of suppression over the surrounding gods.

Otherwise, being just short was insufficient, at most posing as a standoff against the surrounding gods.

Since among the surrounding gods, there were already those who reached the Middle-Level God Level.

As he gained control over more and more territories, Fang Jie was also able to broadly survey the surroundings.

“What a pity, the territorial empowerment can’t be easily exchanged; otherwise, it could produce many gods.”

Fang Jie found through research that while empowerment can be transferred or revoked, it cannot be done frequently. After each bestowal, changing it requires some time for stabilization, which prevents the mass production of gods.

Each change or revocation results in backlash to the originally empowered gods.

Even gods who lose their territories suffer backlash.

While their strength wouldn’t diminish, the backlash process could injure them, making them unable to utilize all their power, thus becoming prey for others.

This is one reason why gods who lose their territories are targeted.

Fang Jie’s plan was to first elevate Jera to the Middle-Level God level, then promote several Lower Gods as helpers. This way, a region could be fully formed, and they could proceed to the next stage.

For this purpose, Fang Jie’s new White Bone Floating Tower was ready, just awaiting sufficient power on this side.

It seems, further plotting concerning the surrounding individuals is needed. Fang Jie shared his thoughts with Jera, who also frowned and began studying the map, noting that they knew very little about the surrounding situation.

“Now that the internal side is stable, the next step is expansion. Let’s first send some people to gather information.”

Jera summoned his subordinates to begin arrangements. With their management over this period, everyone’s abilities were rapidly increasing. Initially, they weren’t sure how to handle such matters.
