Actually, setting aside the mythological war, the relationships among the gods of West Land in the long millennia after were quite good. How should I put it, amidst the changing times, there were only a few who could maintain their existence, like how Kongming wanted to spare the Abyssal Dragon back then: "In the same era, losing one truly means losing one." If not forced, these surviving gods were not willing to confront each other, let alone harm those they could almost consider as "friends".

Assuming the strength of both sides was equal.

Even though the Beast God's strength was indeed inferior to the Goddess of the Light before, they were both divine beings. So, even if the Goddess wanted to stop her, it was quite difficult. But now... Anas did not have the capacity to refuse.

"Although I don't like to put it this way, the threat is real, isn't it?"

Adjusting her sitting posture, the Goddess leaned on her hand. Well, in the end, it was just to let Anas spare Xiang Ling, which she might find extremely annoying, but it wouldn't really result in a grudge, right?

Probably...?

On the desolate plain destroyed by the divine showdown, the Elf God Artemis canceled the invisibility spell on herself and walked slowly next to Anas, who was struggling to suppress her anger.

With the wind element slightly lifting her body off the ground so she could reach the Beast God's shoulder, her slender fingers lightly drew a symbol on the back of it.

"What's the point of doing this unnecessary thing?"

Knowing it was Artemis, Anas did not resist but let Artemis trace her finger.

Compared to the sleek and benevolent appearance that the Goddess always projected, and the fact that she always seemed condescending unintentionally, the relationship between the Elf God and Anas, who formed an alliance thousands of years ago, was actually closer. So, there were no barriers between them.

After the symbol of Elf magic shone brightly on the shoulder, thin and delicate plants grew from the ground, twining around her body like living creatures, weaving a garment similar to her original clothing style to cover her athletic figure.

"I'm just saying, even if you don't care, think about your followers a bit."

Artemis pointed at Shadir, who had been watching on the side since receiving the order.

Miss Dragonkin had been feeling awkward and uneasy since her deity's transformation back to an animal form, not knowing where to go and just ended up covering her eyes with red cheeks — of course, her honest body still involuntarily peeked between her fingers.

Oh... Is this, is this Lady Anas's body? These proportions, these muscular lines, they're truly perfect... I'm so lucky.

"... Your thoughts are written all over your face, aren't they?"

The princess sighed, covering her face.

"Eh?" Shadir hesitated for a moment, quickly put down her hands and turned around, only to find Tiran and Aya beside her, not knowing when they had come over.

"Don't mind, there's no need for us to continue the fight in this situation. It's better to watch and praise the big shots."

Aya said with emphasis, and took a sip of the ice water taken out from Tiran's storage ring... Well, the reason it was ice water was mainly because it felt inappropriate to have fancy drinks in the current situation, but she still wanted something to moisten her throat.

Three... Oh, adding in the Divine Beings who didn't show up in the sky, that should be four Divine Beings in total, plus the three Holy Ranks observing this side. It was probably rare to find a gathering of this caliber anywhere in the world.

"Annoying, really."

Anas didn't dwell on the clothes matter anymore, just refocused her attention on the still unseen Goddess of the Light.

"Alright. I won't lay a hand on her anymore," the Orc God said, arms crossed.

"Oh-oh, as expected of you, Tatar. You are straightforward, well then, it's all resolved."

"But," Anas didn't bother to continue the issue about the title, "there was a strange something that intruded into my territory before, and this child got involved in the human war because of investigating this. Do you know about that individual?"

"Huh?" The Goddess of the Light looked innocent and confused, "That's your territory. How would I have an answer for that? At the end of the day, I don't even know what strange thing you're talking about."

"It's a human, but its aura is peculiar-"

Anas pointed to Tiran standing in the group, "-and has a similar feeling to her. What, don't you understand? I thought as the god of human belief, you would know everything."

The Goddess chuckled a couple of times but couldn't hide the hint of awkwardness on her face.

"Even if the foundation of faith is large, there are quite a few non-believers... Really, why did some go to believe in materialism? Clearly, I am a factual and objective existence, why would some refuse to believe in me, and the East, the East is also a human kingdom but doesn't believe in us... And the taste of the younger humans has been getting stranger. When I went to investigate before, I even found that some liked those old gods of fantasy and tentacles. Have young, cute, naive, and kind girls become unpopular? Are they trying to force idols to attract believers...?"

She trailed off into a mutter, it seemed she held quite some grudges...

"Young, cute, naive, and kind... Which of these fits you?"

Even Artemis couldn't stand it anymore. After all these years of interacting, the impression left was shrewd and clever, especially when it came to playing cards, she had a variety of cheating methods!

"However... A strange something that is somehow similar to me..."

Recalling Shadir's words earlier, Tiran and Aya almost instantly reached a conclusion as they shared a glance.

This guy is really persistent! Why is he everywhere!

...

"Achoo!"

Yuan sneezed forcefully, spitting out the drink in his mouth all over the floor and even some into his nostrils, making it uncomfortable as it went down his windpipe. His entire nasal cavity was filled with the taste of carbonation.

"Oh, why sneeze at a time like this?"

He automatically grabbed a nearby cloth to wipe himself. Yuan rubbed his nose with his hand.

"Maybe it's because Yuan did something bad?"

"Superstitions are not to be taken lightly! If sneezing is really because of something bad... Forget it." Yuan shook his head, burying himself once more in the spell of remote projection.

If sneezing meant one had done something bad, he probably wouldn't be able to speak properly at all, right?

Although the alchemical puppet originally placed near Kent Mountain was destroyed by the aftermath of the divine eruption, he had anticipated this possibility and buried some backups in the mountain in advance. Now that the battle seemed to have ended, he attempted to reactivate them to check the current situation but seemed unable to connect due to the high-frequency magical wave conduit that had been disturbed by the impact.

"Such a hassle..."

Yuan whispered softly to himself, shaking his head once more.

Forget about it, now is not the time to ponder over such matters. If he couldn't see it, he couldn't see it.

Although he didn't witness the conclusion of the drama in Kent Mountains, there probably wouldn't be any more news from Brad's side. But ultimately, even though the divine beings of the Beast God were drawn to the human battlefield, it was just a side effect. What he truly wanted had already been achieved.

"Oh, is it time for research again?"

Standing up and stretching lazily, Yuan walked towards his studio. "Little Vera, I'm going to stay here for some time, so please don't disturb me. Of course, if you want to go out and play, just be safe."

...

His gaze returned to the battlefield north of Kent Mountains.

Having not received any answers from the Goddess of the Light, Anas had to return disheartened. Whether what the Goddess said about this matter was true, she had no way of knowing.

Artemis and Shadir also left with Anas towards the northern border of the human world. Eventually, only humans and the Dragon remained on the scene.

The faction division of this race was quite similar to that of The Second Legendary War.

"Thank you."

Even though not knowing the other party's intentions for saving her, Xiang Ling earnestly thanked them. Despite her soft voice, as a god who often listened to the prayers of her followers, the Goddess would surely have heard it, right?

"Thank you is enough, Eastern Immortal... or to address you in our terms, New God."

Goddess of the Light's tone was somewhat lazy.

"However, I must remind you, even gods must abide by some rules. I'm not too thrilled about you interfering in the human war in West Land this time. Whatever happens in the East, I am not concerned, so I suggest you stay in your own domain and not cross boundaries."

For the latter part of the assertive words, Xiang Ling didn't have much reaction, just nodded silently.

"Well... let me think, what else? Oh, take care. The East seems to have been without gods for a long time. I am looking forward to seeing what you can make of that continent."

"Right, Miss Tiran, I have successfully separated Ural's soul from Fiona's body. If all goes well, she should be able to return to you in a few days."

"Oh... Huh?" Tiran paused for a moment.

She hadn't expected that the Goddess of the Light would continue to let little Angel come back, after all, she had originally captured little Angel, seeming to be in a somewhat precarious position. She thought the Goddess of the Light would use the opportunity of the covenant being destroyed by the Holy Spirit to reclaim control of little Angel...

But now it seemed that she actually wanted little Angel to stay by her side?

Was she really that likable to the divine beings?

After all, by now, she theoretically had met quite a few remarkable gods and figures.

"In any case, keep working hard, young lady. I am looking forward to your future performances."

Leaving behind this sentence, the Goddess's voice drifted away.
