The gods, who originally thought everything would end once they took down the God of War, now seemed somewhat gloomy. Beyond the God of War, there was an even greater threat...

"Everyone, rather than worry about this unknown problem, why don't we all focus on developing ourselves, improving our strength, and preparing for possible future crises." At some point, Ren had piloted his massive mech near the gods. "I'm confident that within decades, I can make the mortal realm's intelligent population explode several times, even dozens of times over. And each of you gods will receive far more faith power. In this situation, I think even facing some crisis, we won't be completely powerless to resist, right? Besides, I won't be like the God of War, killing the goose that lays the golden eggs."

In his previous life, before industrialization, Earth's human population was between 500-600 million. Adding mountain dwellers, sea people, and primitive tribes, it could reach about 800 million at most. But when he crossed over, it had already reached 8 billion. After every war ended, and with the emergence of various foods and industrial goods, there'd be baby booms bringing massive populations. Ren was absolutely certain of this—as long as he replicated Earth's path on this planet and built a magic-tech industrial system, a population explosion was virtually inevitable.

Beyond this, with food and magic-tech industry output, the annual death toll from starvation and freezing would drastically decrease. Over time, the population would naturally grow. Improvements in medical standards, the spread of druid potions—deaths from disease and injury would also improve, as would the elderly. Even more terrifying, with the establishment of an industrial system, an education system would quickly take shape. More people would become supernatural beings, causing qualitative changes in their faith.

Ren felt that given enough time, making the mortal realm burst forth with ten times, even dozens of times more faith power would be no problem at all.

Beyond this, the spread of products like the Magic Net could additionally stimulate existing mortals to pray more... He couldn't even imagine how terrifying this faith power would be, and how much it would improve these gods.

All gods improving, mortal realm power increasing, plus fighting on home turf with relatively high risk resistance—in this situation, if they still lost, then the God of War turning the whole world into hell probably wouldn't be much different.

Intelligent beings multiplying several times, even over ten times... Just hearing Ren's words, many gods couldn't help but gasp. This God of Technology had quite the ambitious talk! But if it were really true, each god's power would increase several times, dozens of times—they really wouldn't fear any crisis. They couldn't even imagine what kind of enemy could threaten them on their own turf after such super-enhancement...

Honestly, normally if they heard this, they'd definitely scoff. Even gods related to fertility and nature wouldn't dare say such things. At best they could make a small area like this. There were many reasons—constraints on food, constraints on resources, problems with distribution systems, etc. But these words came from the god who'd just helped them kill the God of War, a new but already resource-rich and capable god. Nothing else mattered—just what the Magic Net brought to the Goddess of Writing was enough to make many gods find these words credible.

Really, what Ren had done recently was too far beyond expectations!

"If that's the case, then indeed we won't fear any crisis!"

"Is there anything we can do to help you? Just ask. Now that unknown threats are approaching, we need to work together even more!"

"Earlier you had Writing pass along information, saying you could help us all rapidly improve through the Magic Net too. Was that true or false?"

After a brief silence, some gods reacted and spoke up one after another. Some flattered, some "collected debts." Facing their inquiries, Ren smiled confidently: "Of course. I believe the vast majority of gods will gain massive amounts of faith in the second-gen Magic Net I'm about to fully open. Your believers will also gain huge benefits... Of course, due to this crisis causing massive impact on the mortal realm, before the mortal realm restores stable order, the second-gen Magic Net's rollout efficiency might be a bit slower. I hope everyone can understand this."

Everyone could benefit, just maybe a bit slower—naturally no god would say anything. Otherwise, if he got unhappy and just didn't let them use it, they'd have nowhere to cry.

As for forcing it, forget about the attacks that just erupted—just the Goddess of Magic and the other gods about to rise through the Magic Net wouldn't let them do anything excessive.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, Magic Nets appeared before each god. The Goddess of Magic also spoke: "These are all Magic Nets that don't require prayer to use. Everyone can create accounts, add each other as friends, form a group chat for convenient communication about future matters. Everyone's tired today too, so hurry back and rest!"

When the Goddess of Magic spoke like this, no one dared contradict her. After that battle just now, they'd realized that the combat power the Goddess of Magic could unleash at full strength, even if not equal to the God of War, was still top-tier.

Of course, before each went home, they still worked together to restore the void to its pre-battle state.

"That really was close!" Returning to the divine realm and putting away the mech, Ren finally let out a long breath. "But fortunately the God of War's been dealt with. For a long time ahead, we shouldn't have any major crises. We can develop in peace."

"What do you think about what the God of War said about star spirit gods?"

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Improving strength is the real deal." Ren chuckled. "I wasn't joking earlier. I really am confident I can raise the population and improve faith quality. Of course, who these new believers believe in, well, that's not for me to decide... But now we also have things to do. For instance, quickly taking over the God of War's legacy. Right now, I control all of the God of War's authority!"

Thinking of this, Ren's expression became even more brilliant. The recent open and covert struggles had actually been rough on both the God of War and him. Each had certain authorities seized by the other. This time, with the God of War slain, the powers of both gods were almost entirely absorbed into Ren's body. The improvement in authority was simply... simply earth-shattering!
