Sacred Souls: Genesis - Chapter 385

Chapter 385: Chapter 372: A Bit of Pressing Number (Second Update) Chapter 385: Chapter 372: A Bit of Pressing Number (Second Update) “Unable to do it? Why?” the Daylight God asked him loudly.

“I always thought you were stupid, but can you keep it down now?” the God of Commerce was getting a headache from the Daylight God’s righteous questioning.

Right now, a bunch of spirits are happily leading their recruited gods in line to Biland Island, but the Daylight God is like a tiger that suddenly appears to block the road halfway there.

“We are stationed in the City of the Gods not just for the Divine Power Crystals, but also to resist the invasion of the Abyss; and do you, as a god, really want to… live under a mortal’s roof?” the Daylight God asked in a lowered voice, pressing the God of Commerce for an answer.

“God this, god that… buddy, we are just ‘creatures’ born from faith. Though your believers are widespread, and you have had tremendous power since birth, do you really expect everyone to follow you unconditionally, like your believers? Those spirits are not your followers, and the relationship we have in the Alliance of Gods with the spirits is not that of gods and mortals!”

The God of Commerce had felt very uncomfortable with the Daylight God’s… strange sense of superiority long ago. The Daylight God was one of the most powerful deities in their world, and the God of Commerce was no match for him, hence he dared not bicker too much.

But now, with the protection of the spirits, he finally got the chance to argue with the Daylight God.

The Daylight God’s ideas also represent… what most gods in their world think, which is to be far above mortals in power. The God of Commerce thought this was just nonsense.

“Let me be frank… I came to the City of the Gods this time just to earn Divine Power Crystals. I can’t defeat the Magic Thieves with Abyssal power, so I have to rely on doing business with spirits to barely scrape some benefits! Now that all the spirit guilds have united, if you refuse their employment, they won’t spend… not even a speck of Divine Power Dust on you!”

As the God of Commerce spoke, he gestured a tiny amount, then continued.

“You gods who are capable of fighting transferred the responsibility of eliminating the Magic Thieves to the spirits to protect yourselves. Now that the Divine Power Crystals are monopolized, and you still don’t allow me to work for the spirits? Is this reasonable?”

“Are you planning to abandon your followers?”

The Daylight God also noticed that the God of Commerce didn’t seem to intend to stay at the spirits’ stronghold for a day or two. He planned to stay permanently!

“The spirits have a word for it, part-time, understand? Part-time! My followers are doing just fine; I’m just going there to keep the books part-time! I’ve had enough of your madness, I’m off.” After saying this, the God of Commerce directly passed through the teleportation gate and headed to Biland Island.

The other lower gods standing at the gate… When swept by the Daylight God’s gaze, all chose to evade his attention and followed closely beside their accompanying spirits.

“This is absurd.” The Daylight God turned to his friend, the Flowing Water God; he was still unwilling to believe that the deities of the City of the Gods were actually willing to willingly become lowly workers for the spirits.

“Regarding that…” The Flowing Water God glanced to the other sides of the street. In fact, not all lower gods had succumbed to the spirits’ temptation.

The Daylight God, with strong self-esteem, believed that neither he nor the gods under his command should become servants of the spirits… Many higher gods felt the same.

Therefore, under their pressure, actually a small part of the lower gods in the Alliance of Gods dared not follow the spirits at all.

Until…

“President Can Xin, aren’t you afraid that doing this will decrease the Alliance of Gods’ reputation to hostile levels?”

“We are from the planar pirate faction; what do we care if the Alliance of Gods’ reputation becomes hostile to us?”

Can Xin had been scrolling through the Spirit Tearing group chat messages since leaving the Daylight God’s shop. This tearing group chat had essentially become the ‘Enticing * Abduction Alliance of Gods Discussion Group’.

The guild leaders and their members from various major guilds kept sending back excellent news, whereas Can Xin failed to recruit a beauty god and ended up bitterly struggling. Finally, Jiang Qiao, who had been lurking in the tearful chat group, decided to pop up and offer a tip.

‘The relationships among the members of the Alliance of Gods are like one family after another. The beauty god’s reluctance to follow you is very likely because “her mom” or “her dad” disagrees. President Can Xin, if there’s an option to threaten other gods, you could try it, @Can Xin.’
Can Xin actually took Jiang Qiao’s advice. As the most impulsive guild among the saint spirits, Can Xin directly mentioned all the members in the Abyss Temple…

At this moment, the beauty god was following the Daylight God with a gloomy heart. The Shadow Goddess chose not to show herself in front of the saint spirits, and by the time the beauty god snapped out of it, a group of saint spirits had already surrounded her.

“Second employment request!” This time, Can Xin spoke more briskly. “Our stronghold has some troubles that need your assistance to handle! Are you willing to accept this request?”

“I…” Before the beauty god could finish her words, her chest began to ache again.

Can Xin noticed the change in the beauty god’s expression, but at that moment, an option he was willing to choose appeared in the dialog box.

“Who is it? Is it that god threatening you? Perhaps we can talk with them directly.”

“Thank you for your kindness, saint spirits, but I fear your good intentions cannot be sustained forever.” The beauty god knew what the consequences of defying her superior god were, and maybe under the protection of the saint spirits, she could live for a while.

But she was unrelated to the saint spirits; at most, it was merely an employer-employee relationship. The saint spirits couldn’t protect her forever.

Can Xin paused for a bit, and the option that appeared next in the dialog box was somewhat difficult to say out loud. However, he steeled himself and went ahead anyway.

“Though this employment contract is temporary! But if you want, it can continue to be renewed!” Can Xin said. “And is that the extent of your ambition?”

In the end, the beauty god hesitated for a moment before opening the cloth bag containing the Divine Power Crystal that Can Xin had given her earlier, swallowing one of the Divine Power Crystals.

“I accept this employment,” said the beauty god, once again showing her professional smile.

And just as the beauty god agreed to the employment invitation from the Abyss Temple, War God Wuerde appeared in a corner of the city, outstretching his hand and lightly tapping… Jiang Qiao, who was also hiding in the alley and watching everything unfold.

“Saint spirits, what exactly do you plan to do?” War God Wuerde clutched Jiang Qiao’s shoulder, as if he would not let go unless Jiang Qiao gave a satisfactory answer.

“Just introducing a new part-time job to you gods, that’s all. Aren’t you tired of being a god of one world? Are you interested in coming over to our side and taking on a second job?”

Jiang Qiao kept promoting the idea to War God Wuerde, but he decisively shook his head and declined. At this moment, he seemed to find no reason to stop Jiang Qiao from carrying out this recruitment plan.

In the end, he could only leave behind a single statement…

“The Battle of Black Tide Island… if you lose, you’ll have nothing left.”

“I am aware of that,” Jiang Qiao said, looking up at a window on the edge of the alley that had been opened as soon as he felt War God Wuerde leave. “What’s your choice? Stay in this city and face the risk of being hunted by the Magic Thief and the other gods, or go stay a few days at the saint spirits’ stronghold?”

“We probably don’t have much of a choice,” said the lady of the house, sticking her head out of the window with resignation.
