“This is unreasonable,” War God Urd said.
“Of course it’s unreasonable. How much power have you endowed to a single Divine Chosen One? One-tenth? One-fifth? They possess vitality and combat strength far exceeding the Holy Spirits under my command… Compared to your Divine Chosen Ones, the Holy Spirits are far too fragile,” Jiang Qiao’s voice carried a hint of grievance.
Fragile? Urd’s lips twitched, unable to conceive of the brutal and cunning Holy Spirits, who were akin to robbers, being described as fragile.
“There is an entire army of Holy Spirits under your command,” War God Urd didn’t believe that his Divine Chosen Ones could take on hundreds alone.
Each Divine Chosen One had health ranging from one million to three million, which was typical of lord-level bosses. Their attack power was formidable as well, possessing plenty of AOE skills, but… the Holy Spirits had already slaughtered countless such lord-level bosses.
“A duel,” Jiang Qiao proposed an idea that tempted Urd. “I guarantee that the Divine Chosen Ones, warriors, zealots, or whatever you send to challenge the Holy Spirits… will face only one to four Holy Spirits at a time.”
The island of Biland was already swarming with giant monsters that were strong and could use AOE attacks; creatures like the Flame Ash Dragon had greatly enhanced the challenge posed by such large monsters.
The real weakness of players lay in battling humanoid monsters, not the AI-generated humanoid monsters in the game with frighteningly low intelligence, but actual beings with rich combat experience and exceptional skills like Sword Saints, Gun Gods, or Sages.
Perhaps the combat skills of players themselves needed honing; according to the statistics in the system’s manual, ninety percent of all Holy Spirit players were still using combat assistance systems, even some members of the elite strategy groups of major guilds used system assistance for skill deployment and basic attacks.
Using system assistance to deploy skills was indeed exhilarating, allowing one to effortlessly unleash a plethora of dazzling skills. However, such deployment was too rigid, as seen during the duel with Denghis Xisi. Once Denghis Xisi figured out the routine of players’ skill deployments, he would easily dodge them and deliver critical strikes to the players.
Jiang Qiao didn’t expect every player to enhance their gaming skills to the level of Zhao Mingwei. After all, casual players still made up the majority among Holy Spirits, and he didn’t object to their enjoyment of deploying skills with system assistance.
But for those top-tier players targeting to be number one in the arena ladders, or part of the top strategy groups or guilds among Holy Spirits, and aiming for world-first achievements, it would be truly embarrassing if they lost their combat skills to wild monsters.
Therefore, Jiang Qiao planned to find mentors for the Holy Spirits, whether casual players or top-tier players aiming for world firsts, so they could refine their combat abilities.
Naturally, this was also part of the daily challenge tasks in Holy Spirit World, the kind with very generous rewards.
“How can I trust you?” War God Urd didn’t trust Jiang Qiao, the Debater, to… fulfill his promise so easily.
“I swear by the name of the Devouring God, well, that might not mean much, but for mutual benefit, if your Divine Chosen Ones fail to defeat fifty of my Holy Spirits consecutively, and I don’t cleanse an area of Biland Island, how could our cooperation continue?” Jiang Qiao said.
“…”
War God Urd pondered for a while. At least this would ensure that the Holy Spirits would only cleanse two more areas of Biland Island; the weakened island, with only one remaining area, wouldn’t necessarily need the Holy Spirits, as the gods of this world could deal with it themselves.
“What are the methods and rules of the duel?” War God Urd didn’t believe a single Holy Spirit could defeat any Divine Chosen One, as their health points belonged to entirely different levels.
The Holy Spirits would need tens of thousands of hits to kill a Divine Chosen One, whereas a Divine Chosen One might only need a dozen hits to do the same.
“Actually, it’s just a war of attrition. Suppose there are fifty Holy Spirits who take turns challenging your Divine Chosen One until your chosen one’s health drops below ten percent, at which point the battle is declared over.” Jiang Qiao said, “Defeat won’t affect you much, right? We will heal your Divine Chosen, and they also have rest periods and can always return to their original world.”
As he spoke, Jiang Qiao took out the red and blue Crystal Stones given by the Earth Mother Goddess earlier, which could easily traverse between this world and the Holy Spirit World.
Moreover, in terms of the instance leader’s benefits, Jiang Qiao considered himself to have done quite well.
“I need to discuss this with the other gods,” said War God Wuerde.
“Go ahead. It doesn’t have to be only the Divine Chosen Ones; those Holy Spirits who haven’t fully matured are much weaker than you might think. I bet there are also many potential mortals among your believers? They might seem insignificant in your eyes, but they too could come and try,” Jiang Qiao said, then unexpectedly used a courtesy he had performed before, “I will ensure that the mortals under your command will receive interesting rewards.”
War God Wuerde felt weird as Jiang Qiao’s attitude changed, but he said nothing and vanished in front of Jiang Qiao with the Earth Mother Goddess.
……
After following Jiang Qiao’s suggestion and discussing with other gods, more than half of them agreed to accept the proposal.
Thus, various divine signs began to appear all over this world… and also a large group of odd Chosen Ones, who were selected by the gods and sent to a strange space in a state of confusion.
War God Wuerde selected six of his most hopeful believers, explained the heavy responsibility they carried to save the world, and then came alone to a horse farm on the edge of this world.
The horse farm was clearly the kind of place that would shelter a reclusive expert. However, War God Wuerde was a deity, the highest form of life in this world; hence, anyone residing here could not simply be called a reclusive expert, but rather… an otherworldly expert.
War God Wuerde walked into the warehouse where the hay was stored, and a man with a bearded face was lying on top of the hay. The man’s clothes were tattered, which under normal circumstances would mean he is either a vagrant or a madman, or he is an extremely capable individual.
He was both…

As War God Wuerde entered the warehouse, the man’s figure had already vanished from above the hay, replaced by a… branch pointed straight at his throat.
“What do the gods of this world want from my little place?” the man asked.
“You have a chance to cross swords with the followers of the Devouring God again.” War God Wuerde, moving the branch away from his own throat with his hand, said.
“Trying to please me again? The Devouring God has been dead for hundreds of years.”
“See for yourself.”
War God Wuerde handed the man a blue Crystal Stone. He glanced at the stone, said nothing, and completely crushed it, disappearing from the horse farm in an instant.
