Chapter 34 Persuading the Goddess! [Request for Recommendation Votes]
The year is about to end.
The time for the final promotion ceremony held by the God of d*ath – Naraku is drawing near. Modo has begun reconstruction after the war, as the demon attack resulted in the d*ath of many civilians, prompting the City Hall to migrate the population once again. Fortunately, Soren’s initial layout has been completed, and the City Hall’s council has taken on most of the power of secular governance, managed by Gloria, so some trivial matters no longer need Soren’s attention. Currently, the secular power structure in Modo has emerged, and they are fulfilling their duties under the pressure of the deities, but how long they can maintain this is yet to be tested by time.
Having handed many matters over to others and instructed the Fallen Witch to try to harness the powers of the Plague Goddess, Soren began his very important journey.
The Frozen Kingdom, Arendelle.
This is Soren’s first destination. Compared to other deities, the Princess has the closest relationship with him, and they have collaborated the most.
At this moment.
In the depths of Arendelle’s Royal Palace, Soren’s and the Princess’s figures stand side by side.
“Are you really planning to compete for the God of d*ath Profession?”
The Princess furrowed her brows as she looked at Soren, slowly saying, “This is no small matter. The gods are all quietly paying attention to everything. Getting involved at this time can be extremely dangerous; one wrong step could lead to total failure!”
Soren nodded, “I know.”
“But opportunities like this may not come once in a thousand years. If I back down this time, I’m afraid I will have to face a new God of d*ath in the future, especially since my powers inherit part of those of the Three d*ath Deities.”
“At that time, both Vivian and I will be in great danger!”
“I know it’s very dangerous to get involved, but I still have to try! I’m preparing to attempt to persuade other deities. If I can gain their recognition, perhaps the final difficulty will be a bit smaller.”
“But.”
“Right now, what I need most is your support!”
Having said that, Soren raised his eyes to meet the Princess’s gaze, waiting for her answer.
The Princess fell into deep thought.
After a long time, she finally looked up at Soren and slowly said, “Since you’ve made up your mind, I will support you.”
“Thank you.” Soren felt a surge of excitement and couldn’t help but give the Princess a hug.
The most crucial step has been taken.
With the support of the Princess in this contest, Soren’s current chances of victory have increased to at least over thirty percent, and what remains for him to do is to gain an even higher chance.
“Don’t celebrate too early.”
The Princess calmly stepped back a bit, looking less tranquil than she appeared, and firmly said, “If you really want to compete with Naraku and Klanvor for the God of d*ath Profession, then at least three more parties need to be persuaded.”
Soren acknowledged this with a nod.
The Princess gave him an encouraging look before saying, “Go prepare. To persuade them, you will have to pay a price.”
…………….
Southern Region. City of Harvest.
When Soren’s figure stepped into this beautiful realm, the Agricultural Goddess appeared before him.
Next to her were the River Goddess and the Spring Goddess. The Agricultural Goddess seemed a bit surprised by Soren’s sudden visit and asked in confusion, “I heard that Modo has suffered a demon attack. Shouldn’t you be overseeing Modo at this time? Why did you suddenly think of coming here?”
With a gentle wave of her hand, green vines automatically grew from the ground to form several vine chairs, and her tall figure lay back on one while she watched Soren, saying, “Let me guess!”
“You usually don’t come without reason, so you must be here for…”
As if thinking of something.
The Agricultural Goddess suddenly looked up in surprise at Soren, murmuring, “You plan to intervene in the struggle between Naraku and Klanvor?”
An intelligent goddess.
Sometimes talking to smart people requires being straightforward, so Soren nodded, “Yes.”
“This won’t be easy. You are still too young among the gods.” The Agricultural Goddess frowned and said, “As far as I know, even though Klanvor has not shown himself in a long time since being ambushed by Naraku, I’ve learned from many sources that Klanvor has been in contact with several deities.”
“He is also gathering allies among the gods.”
“Klanvor is very clever. He knows that Naraku is not favored by other deities, and many of the gods do not wish for Naraku to control the Underworld.”
Soren looked at the Agricultural Goddess and slowly said, “I am more suited than them.”
The Agricultural Goddess shook her head with a smile, “But the other deities won’t believe that. As a True God, your rise has been too fast. Many gods do not know you well enough; they will not trust you. Moreover, your rise has come through the slaughter of other deities. To be honest, many among them fear you.”
Soren chuckled and replied, “Isn’t that good? Fear can help me solve some troubles.”
The Agricultural Goddess slightly furrowed her elegant brows, “Are you serious?”
“Very serious.” Soren nodded.
At this, the Agricultural Goddess finally fell silent, pondering for a while before saying, “I must say, this matter is very difficult. Because you are indeed too young, there aren’t many gods willing to stand by your side.”
Soren nodded, “I know.”
“Therefore, I need your help! The God of d*ath – Naraku is too extreme. He must pay the price for the great disaster in the Material Plane. Countless beings have died needlessly because of his ambition; all of this sin must be borne by him. Klanvor has already proven his negligence. If it weren’t for his doctrines and delusions, many Undead Lords would not have sided with Naraku, and this disaster would not have affected countless people.”
“He has failed once.”
“Even if he regains the God of d*ath Profession, Klanvor’s relationship with the Undead Lords will still not improve, and the Underworld will be difficult for him to regain control of in a short time.”
The Agricultural Goddess remained silent.
After a moment, she looked up at Soren and slowly said, “Why come to me? Do you want me to persuade my father?”
“Yes.” Soren nodded.
If one wishes to grasp the God of d*ath Profession, then the Lord of Radiance is an unavoidable hurdle. Although the Lord of Radiance is currently focused on Asmothiels, the Underworld ultimately influences the entire lower planes, and he is bound to intervene in the final ownership of the God of d*ath Profession. Moreover, according to the original historical progress, the Lord of Radiance has dealt a heavy blow to the God of d*ath – Naraku, making him pay a painful price for his evil deeds.
Soren cannot enlist or even approach the Lord of Radiance.
But.
This is something the Agricultural Goddess can do!
Thus, whether or not he can gain the support of the Agricultural Goddess is crucial. If she is willing to stand by his side, Soren’s chances of victory will rise to at least over fifty percent.
