The Growth of a God
Chapter 197 5: Cultivating Gods (2/3)
That day, at dusk.
As the college entrance examination approached, Li Hao's study life became increasingly busy.
Especially in this special senior year crash course, even if Li Hao could "cheat" and memorize all the key points in a short time, daily life inevitably became more hectic.
However, despite the tight schedule, Li Hao did not neglect his main responsibilities.
Firstly, regarding Maitreya Buddha, He ultimately agreed to the plan to open the "World of Fallen Gods."
Unexpectedly, yet logically, Maitreya Buddha turned out to be a user of the [Civilization Game] as well.
At the invitation of a Huang Mei Tongzi, Li Hao's incarnation in the [Civilization Game]—Hua She—finally arrived at the "Maitreya Pure Land" where Maitreya Buddha resided.
Like the world of the Faceless, it was also a small secret realm exclusive to Maitreya Buddha.
In the Maitreya Pure Land, Li Hao and Maitreya Buddha agreed on the steps and plans to open the "World of Fallen Gods."
It was only at that moment that Li Hao realized he had somewhat underestimated those ancient gods who had lived since time immemorial.
In fact, from a long time ago, Maitreya Buddha had already been contemplating the future development trends of the "World of Fallen Gods."
Initially, He wanted to use that world to create a [Primordial Spirit Incarnation], thereby gaining supreme authority akin to the Creator.
However, the plan ultimately failed, and Maitreya Buddha had no choice but to turn the world into a place specifically for cultivating His apostles and ascenders.
As the future Buddha and the Three Temporal Buddhas destined to succeed the entire system of All Buddhas,
Maitreya Buddha's ambition was never merely to cultivate some apostles and ascenders; He wanted to cultivate divine beings truly belonging to Him, even god subordinates.
On this premise, Maitreya Buddha further proposed that since the whole "World of Fallen Gods" was to be opened, why not aim even higher?
"To cultivate true gods? That sounds outrageous enough!"
Sitting in front of his computer, Li Hao found that the "vision" indeed widened as battles deepened.
While he was still pondering on how to put the Mountain and Sea Realm's civilization on the right track, the true ancient gods had started thinking about mass-cultivating their own gods.
Here, it has to be mentioned again the advantages of the "World of Fallen Gods."
Generally, for a normal world to nurture gods, either the world itself is rich enough to support the ascension of an innate god,
or the internal civilization is prosperous enough to enable gods to ascend with the help of civilization's power.
However, in either case, as long as a world gives birth to a god, it means the corresponding divine position is occupied.
For such a world to give birth to another god with the same divine position, it is almost impossible unless the former is overthrown or killed.
But the "World of Fallen Gods" is different; the gods of this world are either dead or fled.
Currently, the rulers of this world, whether Maitreya Buddha or Li Hao, have little demand for divine positions.
Moreover, the "World of Fallen Gods" itself has two equally powerful forces in confrontation, with good and evil, chaos and order indistinguishable, generating a very special war civilization.
Theoretically speaking, as long as Maitreya Buddha and Li Hao do not intervene, the "World of Fallen Gods" would be one of the easiest worlds in All Heavens and Myriad Realms to give birth to gods.
In this respect, the appeal of opening up the "World of Fallen Gods" is indeed extraordinary.
Especially for those demigods who are just one step away from divine investiture for various reasons, they would be willing to pay any price to go to the "World of Fallen Gods" to seize that slim chance.
As for whether they can successfully ascend or not?
Neither Li Hao nor Maitreya Buddha would care too much about that.
Li Hao merely wanted an "outward window" to keep track of the movements of gods throughout All Heavens and Myriad Realms, and even to introduce the technologies and ideas of All Heavens and Myriad Realms into the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Although Maitreya Buddha had long had a similar "window," the opportunity to collaborate with a Creator was extremely rare.
Not to mention, Li Hao had long agreed to Maitreya Buddha that all the results originating from the "World of Fallen Gods" would be shared.
This means that Maitreya Buddha can not only use the "World of Fallen Gods" to cultivate His own gods, but might even truly complete the "Artificial Primordial Spirit" project.
It was also with this in mind that Maitreya Buddha dispatched His Huang Mei Tongzi and reached an agreement with Li Hao in the [Civilization Game].
After all, it takes Celestial Father rank power to qualify for two mighty ancient gods to sign a contract.
Under the [Balance of Truth] of Celestial Father Hathor, both sides of the transaction must offer equivalent exchanges and fulfill the contents of the agreement.
This is a rule that must be followed across All Heavens and Myriad Realms, a power more ancient than the world itself.
Li Hao was not certain if his [Immortal Body] could withstand the power of the Celestial Father, but he believed Maitreya Buddha definitely did not have that capability.
.........................................................
"God of Gods?"
While Li Hao was immersed in his thoughts, Hua She's slightly confused voice suddenly awakened him.
Blinking, Li Hao realized that Hua She had been waiting for quite a while.
"Aren't you logging into 'Civilization Game' today?"
As the White Serpent slowly descended from the lamp, Li Hao clearly saw the anticipation in Hua She's eyes.
Because recently, Hua She's original self controlled the character "Hua She," she seemed to have become somewhat addicted.
As a result, even the usual quarrels with Huo Dou had decreased significantly.
For a moment, it left Li Hao feeling somewhat unaccustomed.
"You're becoming more and more like those internet-addicted girls addicted to online games..."
With a somewhat helpless quip, Li Hao raised his phone and unlocked the [Civilization Game] for Hua She.
"As before, try to spread the information about the 'World of Fallen Gods' in various secret realms..."
"Especially emphasize that the two rulers of that world welcome any demigod to ascend there."
"If you encounter issues that cannot be resolved, remember to consult with Huang Mei Tongzi."
Pausing slightly in his tone, Li Hao then added another sentence.
"Only after handling the main tasks can you enter the secret realm of the 'God of Contracts, Games, and War.'
"Also, when playing those bizarre games, make sure not to harm or kill people indiscriminately..."
"After all, many of the God of Games' games actually take place as real events in another world."
Perfectly understanding Li Hao's concerns, while Hua She inwardly dismissed them a bit, she still nodded seriously to show her understanding.
"Got it! I won't play those true games, rest assured!"
