Chapter 1017: The Prototype of the All Gods Guild
Qin Lan rolled her eyes impatiently: "Of course, there are many. Do you realize what status you have now? You are an Upper God. Many gods want to join a divine race led by an Upper God."
"If it weren't for the fact that you belong to the Undead Camp, probably even gods from the Light Camp and Nature Camp would want to join us. Some have already secretly sent messages hoping we can take them in."
"Aren't those people just some fugitives? Is the divine race really that desirable?"
Qin Lan sighed, "Not necessarily fugitives, but it's normal for the divine race to be desirable. With the protection of a powerful god, they are much safer, and they might even gain many benefits."
Although a big portion of those benefits needs to be handed over, they still get to keep quite a lot.
If they are a god without any backing, even if they built their own alliance, they still couldn't handle some benefits. For instance, if they discover some powerful worlds, they wouldn't dare to conquer them.
They wouldn't even dare to tell some powerful divine races, fearing those people might attack them directly.
After all, if they get wiped out, those treasures would be exclusively enjoyed by their attackers. It's not that it hasn't happened before; in fact, it happens often. Even if some survive, there's nowhere to appeal for justice.
"Then what about the other divine races? Why are their numbers so small?"
"That's because maintaining a divine race requires huge expenses. They need elite members, not cannon fodder, so the divine race itself wouldn't recruit randomly. Even if they add more gods in the future, they are mostly self-cultivated."
That's normal because those raised by oneself can better ensure loyalty.
"Some divine races even use only their subordinate gods, without a single outsider."
Fang Jie, on the other hand, doesn't have any subordinate gods, only Affiliate Gods, which is actually quite peculiar.
"Alright, let's not talk about this. Let's discuss what the Black Lotus Venerable Sage instructed before." The Black Lotus Venerable Sage's visit was unknown to anyone except Fang Jie, not even the slightest sense of it.
As Fang Jie recounted, Qin Lan thought hard and kept asking for more details.
That Void Map, Qin Lan had seen it too, but due to her own strength, what she saw was all blurry, unable to make out anything. To see clearly in such a map, at least Middle-Level God Level strength is needed.
Unable to see clearly, Qin Lan had to give up and asked Fang Jie to describe the general situation.
"So you're saying that now we need to prepare to go to the frontline war, and your talent has also changed."
Seeing Fang Jie nod, Qin Lan smiled: "Then I have an idea; why don't we build the divine race into a guild?"
"What kind of guild?" Fang Jie was a bit surprised; Qin Lan's mind seemed to start thinking differently again.
"It's more like those guilds inside small worlds, assigning tasks for others to complete, and then giving out some benefits. When we first set up, the tasks and benefits would be ours to take."
Qin Lan pointed at Fang Jie and said, "Not to mention other things, at least those Undead Divine Beasts in your hands can be used as rewards, and perhaps this fission synthesis can also be offered as a reward."
Fang Jie, drawing inferences, said: "Furthermore, when we're on the frontlines, it equates to developing the otherworld, so we can gain a lot of resources. Whether from their own missions or the rewards we obtain, it's enough to attract people."
Since he hasn't completely transitioned from an ordinary person's mindset, some things are still conceivable.
The gods can't all not think of it; they just don't have such a basis, so they never thought in that direction.
Suddenly, Fang Jie furrowed his brow: "But it won't work. This foundation would be very massive. Such a large organization is beyond our control."
Fang Jie knew very well that it's not merely a simple divine race anymore.
Once such an organization is established, it's not something we can control. At least Supreme Divine Power level gods are needed to manage it, possibly not even one is enough.
If we really expand it this much, would those Supreme Gods just watch idly?
They would directly seize it or force us to become their subordinates. The biggest fear is that they might just kill us, which isn't impossible; rather, it's very likely.
On one hand, it's because the interests involved are enormous; on the other hand, it's because we might affect some people's interests.
Such a large organization of gods has a huge influence and can accomplish many things.
Qin Lan suddenly realized the dangers. Following Fang Jie all the way, due to Fang Jie's strength maintaining order, they had hardly faced any danger or trouble, which Qin Lan had already overlooked.
Now this matter isn't like before; if it's not handled properly, it could be very dangerous.
"In that case, we shouldn't build this guild outright. Let's first create a prototype, something we can control, limited to our internal members."
"What do you mean?" In this regard, Fang Jie's mind indeed wasn't as astute as Qin Lan's.
"I was thinking that since we're expanding the divine race and many people want to join, we might as well take them all. But part of them as internal divine race members and part as peripheral members."
"Afterward, we can issue tasks and have these peripheral members complete them for benefits. For now, the tasks are issued by us only, so the influence can be minimized."
Qin Lan thought for a moment and continued, "If we need more people in the future, we can also temporarily narrow the participants within the Undead System, even within our region's Undead System."
Fang Jie nodded; anyway, when he sets up the Teleportation Array, it can only connect one location.
"That's a good approach; familiarizing with operations and expanding when needed."
"That's the idea, so let's start now. I'll direct the construction of the divine race. You get someone to build a large public Divine Domain; it has to be big, or it won't support such level of Teleportation Array."
"Indeed, we need to speed up; otherwise, ten years might not be enough."
Originally feeling ample time, Fang Jie now felt time becoming urgent. Never having visited the divine race, Fang Jie now finally needed to show up.
