The Era of Gods-Chapter 641: Sudden Development, The Rise of the Beastman’s Chief God
At this time, the Divine System was Lin Xiao’s absolute monarchy; neither the indigenous deities nor the members of the descended Giant God Combat Team could resist his authority—his word was the God Command.
The Faith Waterfall is a forbidden area within the Divine Realm and also the place that the Gods in the Divine System most yearn to visit. However, without his permission, no one dares to go there.
The so-called Faith Waterfall is a giant tower within the Divine Realm that reaches through hundreds of levels of the kingdom, where the originally intangible, tasteless, and colorless Power of Faith is condensed into milky-white droplets. Countless droplets coalesce to form a vast waterfall that cascades down from the hundred-level tower, creating a remarkably spectacular Faith Waterfall.
The waterfall runs through the Divine Realm and collects under it to create the Sea of Faith, upon which the Divine Palace is suspended.
This thing is one of the forbidden places within the Dark God Kingdom and the most precious treasure of the Divine System, formed by the Power of Faith of all the followers of the entire Divine System.
In this waterfall, every droplet of faith is enough for an Indigenous True God to struggle for a long time on the Primary Material Plane to obtain what is here condensed into a waterfall and an ocean.
Once inside the range of the Faith Waterfall, the Gods in the Divine System either stand, sit cross-legged, or lie down under the waterfall, letting countless droplets of the Power of Faith turn into waterfall water that flows into their divine bodies, absorbed by the Divinity within, and transformed into Divine Power.
For any Deity, this place is simply Heaven—the Heaven of Deities, especially for the many Indigenous True Gods who, a few hundred years ago, would have had to spend a very long time to gather each droplet’s condensed Power of Faith and even had to compete against other True Gods for it.
And now, they have nothing to do but enjoy this vast Power of Faith, and they could even bathe in it.
If this extravagant behaviour were known to others, it would make most True Gods in the Hall of All Gods envious to the point of turning green with envy.
Less than ten minutes after entering the Faith Waterfall, there were no less than five True Gods whose God Level rose directly by one rank; subsequently, more Deities’ God Level began to ascend. As time passed, even the two Medium Divine Powers within the Divine System gradually increased by one rank in God Level.
When they reluctantly left the Faith Waterfall, the average God Level of all affiliated Gods had risen by two to three levels, with every affiliated God at least advancing to Weak Divine Power and the average rank being above Level 5.
The ones who gained the most were the God of Wisdom and the God of Knowledge. Initially at God Level 9, they broke through and promoted to Medium Divine Power when the Main God lifted the restrictions.
At the moment of their ascension, the seats in the Hall of All Gods that represented the Gods began to shift, with the God of Wisdom and the God of Knowledge having the largest movement of their throne. They leapt from Rank 3 of Weak Divine Power directly to Rank 2 of Medium Divine Power, drawing the attention of many other Gods still in the Hall of All Gods, who looked askance and speculated.
Raising the average God Level of more than a dozen True Gods in the Divine System by two to three levels in a short time was undoubtedly a remarkable feat.
It’s known that even obtaining a single Divinity of Powerful Divine Power couldn’t achieve the rapid promotion by multiple God Levels in a short time, as absorbing Divinity and advancing is not very fast, and if it’s not the corresponding Godhood, it’s even slower.
With the Power of Faith from more than a hundred and thirty billion fifth-generation Cave-dwellers, Lin Xiao accomplished this feat.
Without a doubt, his actions greatly boosted the morale of the Gods in the Divine System and heightened their loyalty.
Anyone seeing his methods, as well as the vast accumulated Power of Faith within the Divine Realm, would feel that his Divine System has a bright future and would naturally follow him loyally.
Even if the War of Gods fell into a disadvantage, even if Mighty Divine Power intervened, as long as this vast Power of Faith remained, they would have enough confidence to hold out to the end.
As Lin Xiao made final preparations for the full-scale War of Gods, he also secretly sent out an Incarnation to contact the God of Vengeance. One day, his complexion suddenly changed drastically, and his will appeared in the Hall of All Gods.
In the midst of the astonished looks of the Gods in the Hall of All Gods, the seat of the Gods at the second tier, ranked third and fourth, suddenly lit up with a soaring blood light. Then, the seat ranked fourth burned away and disappeared in the blood light, while the blood light around the third-ranked seat violently surged, carrying the throne skyward, passing the second tier that represented Medium Divine Power. Amidst the shocked gazes of the Gods, it ascended to the first tier that represented Powerful Divine Power, edging past Lord of the Sun’s throne and squeezing into the position between the Justice God.
There was silence in the Hall of All Gods. Lin Xiao was also extremely surprised and quickly learned what had happened.

It was clear that a great change had taken place among the Species: Orcs in the northernmost bitter cold lands of the main continent.
The Orc Chief God Bana-ro, who was the strongest of the two Medium Divine Powers among the Species: Orc in the farthest north of the continent, unexpectedly defeated the other Medium Divine Power, the Beast-Man War God Lunimum, in the midst of the unawareness of the other True Gods in the Hall of All Gods. He seized the Beast-Man War God’s dominions of Beastmen, War, Barbarism, Courage, and other Godhoods, successfully promoting to Powerful Divine Power.
The Orc Chief God himself was already at the pinnacle of Rank 14 Medium Divine Power, and alongside the Beast-Man War God, was ranked third and fourth in the Hall of All Gods. Now with the death of the Beast-Man War God, and with the ascension of the Orc Chief God, two spots of Medium Divine Power were left vacant, and Lin Xiao’s rank naturally rose to third among Medium Divine Power.
However, this is not the main focus, as few gods are concerned about this now. What everyone is paying attention to is the newly ascended throne in the Hall of All Gods.
A Level 4 Powerful Divine Power was birthed at this moment, surpassing the Lord of the Sun, who had been promoted hundreds of years ago, and ranking just behind the Justice God.
It is certain that this is just the beginning. Once the Beastman’s Chief God assimilates the Godhood of the Beast-Man War God and unifies the Species: Orcs, his strength will undoubtedly grow rapidly. It is estimated that it won’t be long before he surpasses the Justice God to become the second in rank.
It is also foreseeable that, before long, the Species: Orcs will move south from the harsh cold of the north under the push of the Beastman’s Chief God, attacking the Human Race to seize territories.
This poses a tremendous threat to the human deities and could directly affect the upcoming war between the Dark God System and the magic deity sequence.
Lin Xiao analyzed the situation in his heart and found that he was unsure if this was good or bad for him.
Because among the four Powerful Divine Powers within the Hall of All Gods, only the Justice God and the God of the Sun are of human origin. The origin of the Chaos God, who is not a human, is unknown—after all, the Chaos God is the most ancient True God in the world, and no one knows what His True Body is.
The rise of the Beastmen poses the greatest threat to humans and will undoubtedly occupy a major portion of the Justice God’s attention, the strongest True God among humans. The God of the Sun cannot avoid it either; as a True God born of humans, he must safeguard the overall interests of the Human Race. With the invasion of the Beastmen, they must stand up.
In light of this, for the overall benefit of the Human Race, the Justice God and the Lord of the Sun are very likely to issue a Divine-mandate prohibiting a full-on Divine War between the two Divine Systems at this time, and they might even order to personally engage in the battle.
Even though many deities within the Dark God System are from Other Races, their Main God is human.
Fortunately, he is human. Had he been from another race, he probably wouldn’t even get the chance to compete with the Magic God.
As he expected, in less than a month, Lin Xiao received the Divine Envoy’s command from the Justice God, ordering a cessation of the Divine War between the two Divine Systems and commanding him to participate in the war against the Beastman God System.
Lin Xiao complied and issued the Divine-mandate to the Church of the Divine System. Before long, the Ground Dweller legion situated near a passage to the Surface Kingdom set out. After communication with the Surface Kingdom, the legion received permission to cross the passage and entered the surface world.
In the war against the Beastmen, it was sufficient to send a legion to represent the effort. Deploying a large force would not only consume too much but also risk revealing the strength he had been preparing for a long time.
Moreover, the most critical point is that the kingdoms on the surface would never allow millions, or even tens of millions, of subterranean forces onto the surface. There’s a saying: inviting the deity is easy, but seeing them off is hard. Imagine the staggering number of millions or tens of millions of troops. Even several Powerful Divine Powers can’t summon such forces in a short time, so how could they be allowed to enter the surface? Once he harbored other intentions, it would be quite easy to occupy an area on the surface and settle down.
Instead of endless wrangling, it was better to send a token gesture, while also staying behind the scenes, perhaps to take advantage of the chaos.
Following the issuance of the Divine-mandates by the Justice God and the Lord of the Sun, the human deities began to mobilize to assemble a vast Allied Forces to establish a defensive line at the border of the Tundra and the Orcs, engaging in fierce battle with the invading Orc forces from the north.
The war soon escalated into an intense state. The Orcs, having long lived on the Land of Bitter Cold, were extremely powerful and harbored a strong desire for the fertile lands of the south, which gave them a strong will to fight.
The promotion of the Beastman’s Chief God to a Powerful Divine Power also bolstered their confidence, resulting in the Orcs initially overpowering the Allied Forces and pushing forward several hundred kilometers into the borders of several kingdoms.
Through the Magic Net Planet’s Virtual map, Lin Xiao could clearly observe the many battlefields spanning tens of thousands of kilometers from east to west in the northern part of the continent, gaining a clearer understanding of the overall war than many human True Gods who had their incarnations present on the battlefields.
On an individual level, the Orcs had the advantage, especially the dominant Beastman races, such as the Minotaur, Pandaren, Tiger people, and so on, who performed extremely well on the battlefield. The human armies were no match for them in small-scale skirmishes. Only on larger battlefields, with the support of various War Machinery and the assistance of Mage teams and Priest Teams, were they able to combat the Beastman Legion.
While the Orcs consistently held an advantage on smaller battlefields, several crucial battles ended in defeat for the Orcs.
Such large-scale wars are ultimately decided by major direct confrontations. The advantage on smaller battlefields, no matter how significant, would not affect the overall situation.
Two years later, Lin Xiao once again deployed a legion to the battlefield, along with an incarnation which he sent to the front lines.
Within just two years, the seemingly unstoppable Orcs were halted outside the heartland of the humans. After several major battles and severe losses of their main forces, the Orc offensive was blocked, and the humans shifted to a counter-offensive stance.
At this point, the Justice God and the God of the Sun began to summon the human deities, no doubt preparing to strike directly at the Beastman deities.
