Chapter 352
The fight between Yorgaardman and the Dragon of Chaos became more and more boring, while the fight in the God’s Kingdom of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest was growing more and more fierce and interesting .

As time passed by, the devils had gradually adapted to the rules of the God’s Kingdom of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest, so they stopped putting a lot of effort into self-defense . Many of them had been cautious against the Goddess of Bumper Harvest before and saved half of their power for self-defense, but now, even the most conservative ones used seventy to eighty percent of their power to attack . Some of them even made full use of their great power, which would be enough to fight with a God .
This could be seen clearly through the circles formed by the radiation of power around their bodies . When they had first entered the God’s Kingdom of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest, they; hadn’t adapted to the rules of the surrounding environment . To ensure their own safety, these devils had spared almost no effort to form huge circles around their bodies, using their own strength to repel the rules of the God’s Kingdom of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest . Now they had stopped doing that, not because of their lack of power, but because they had fully adapted to the environment and were no longer worried about being hindered by the rules of this God’s Kingdom .
It cost an amazing amount of power to create a unique environment in another’s God’s Kingdom, and when they put that power into attacking, the effect was also astonishing .
The Goddess of Bumper Harvest, who had barely withstood the attacks before, was now retreating bit by bit . Although the oracles died and were resuscitated quickly, they were still suppressed by the attack of the devils . Even the Goddess of Bumper Harvest herself, the main fighting power, was unable to resist the joint attack of two devils from the Machinery Realm and had to step back again and again .
Her retreat wasn’t fast, and the God’s Kingdom was big enough, but every step of her retreat was difficult and painful, as if she was walking on a cliff of ten thousand feet and might fall down and break into pieces at any time .
More importantly, she was a great God, trusted by all her followers and oracles, so every step of her retreat had a great impact on their confidence and morale . No matter how high a morale they had, after seeing her retreat several times, they grew upset and worried . The oracles would be fine, but some of her followers might run away, so the Goddess of Bumper Harvest didn’t want to retreat, not even one step .
She warned herself, “Moritre, you can’t retreat any more, or you’ll have no way out . ”
However, she still retreated again and again .
She had thought several times about whether she should just stay there to fight until she won or died, rather than taking even one step back, yet if it came to the occasion that she didn’t retreat, she would suffer a bad injury or even death, and in the end, she couldn’t take the risk . Thus, she retreated continually .
Gradually, she began to see her retreat wasn’t a serious problem at all . She even began to consider whether to run away right then, since she was still in a good condition .
It would cause extreme damage for a God to abandon their God’s Kingdom and run away . First, they would drop directly to the bottom level of Weak Divine Power . Second, they could suffer a lot of damage and might even lose their divine position .

If a God at the level of Weak Divine Power lost their divine position, they would die immediately .
Thus, for a God, giving up their God’s Kingdom and running away was a choice not much better than immediate death . Most of the Gods would rather fight to the death than give up their God’s Kingdoms and run away, unless they were sure that they could find a reliable helper to supply a great amount of Divine Power to them in time after running away .
The Goddess of Bumper Harvest had believed that she would be one of those Gods who would never escape .
She didn’t realize that she was afraid of death until she faced it . Thus, even if there was just a small chance for her to live, she still didn’t want to die .
Actually, she had a large chance of surviving . As an important member of the Natural God System, as long as she could manage to escape to the God’s Kingdom of the Natural God System, she would find a lot of friends to help her . She didn’t need to worry about a lack of Divine Power at all .
Then, should she have ran away right then?
She was reluctant .
This God’s Kingdom was the result of tens of thousands of years’ of her effort . There was a great deal of Divine Power inside it, as well as numerous followers and oracles . Losing it, she would fall directly from a senior master of the Mid-level Divine Power to a lonely master of Weak Divine Power . Not only would her status be far different from now, but she would also spend a long time restoring her vitality .
Since ancient times, how many of the Gods who had abandoned their God’s Kingdoms and ran away could come back?
Three? Or two?
She knew one for a fact . It was the God of Knights, whose God’s Kingdom had once been destroyed by the Orc Gods . At that time, he hadn’t even been able to find someone to seek help from . He had struggled so hard alone, watching out for those who wanted to steal his divine position while protecting the human beings who were attacked by various disasters and demons . Life was hard for him .

However, he finally made it through . He not only rebuilt his God’s Kingdom, but also guarded the entire human race during its steady progress . He finally selected an excellent successor and entrusted his title to him, then became an assistant to his successor .
Now, human beings had become bigger and stronger, and there was no doubt that they had become one of the most powerful races in the whole universe . Compared to that hard time when the God of Knights had fallen down and lost his God’s Kingdom, people were really amazed at how things had developed .
However, even the God of Knights was gone now .
Bah! That’s unfortunate!
The Goddess of Bumper Harvest covertly spat and drove those bad thoughts away, but she still hadn’t figured out whether she should run away .
She had never been a God with foresight and decisiveness . As a God of Belief, she relied on the yearnings for a good harvest from various farming nations in the world . To put it simply, she was by nature a great farmer .
Maybe she had once been wise or decisive, but that had been in the past . She thought of the former Goddess of Ocean, who had been a gentle and strong guardian for her followers . However, as time passed by, the Goddess of Ocean was eroded by countless beliefs and finally degenerated into a fierce villain .
The situation of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest now was no better than that .
She knew she couldn’t win in this fight . The best choice for her was to run away right now, but she couldn’t just give up everything there .
This was the nature of farmers . It was common to see soldiers abandon everything and flee directly from danger, as did businessmen, but few farmers did so .
Unless there was no way out in front of them, farmers always cherished hoping and waiting to see if it came to fruition .

Sometimes they succeeded, but more often, they were just desperate in the end .
The Goddess of Bumper Harvest was now in the state of waiting . She waited and waited again, hesitant to run away . Under the devils’ attacks, she retreated repeatedly, constantly losing her valuable reserves of Divine Power .
In the Pantheon temple, the Master God of Natural God System and the King of Sky, Tavana, and Heiner, Earth Mother, who ranked second in the Natural God System, both frowned .
As the Ancient Gods of Nature, the King of Sky and Earth Mother had been cautious in accepting belief from humans, so they hadn’t been seriously eroded by different beliefs . The passing of time had only brought them more foresight . Although they weren’t famous for their wisdom, as long as they grasped the general trend and made steady developments bit by bit, they would eventually make great achievements .
Both of them, the Great Divine Powers, had seen the dilemma of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest . They thought she was just wasting time and energy . She would have been better off running away as quickly as possible, or she wouldn’t have a chance to leave .
They were supposed to send avatars to help her at this time . As two Great Divine Powers, if they sent their avatars to fight with all they had, they could help Goddess of Bumper Harvest to at least maintain the situation, if not defeat those devils . And if they would have liked to find her one or two more helpers, it would even be possible for her to win .
But neither the King of Sky nor Earth Mother had the intention to do that . They were just looking at the fight and saying nothing .
Of course, they didn’t stop other Gods of the Natural God System from helping her, but these Gods, such as the God of Forest, Goddess of Spring Water and God of River, were all mid-level Divine Powers . They had sent avatars to help the Goddess of Bumper Harvest, but these avatars had all been defeated . As for those Gods with low-level and weak Divine Powers, even if they wanted help, they would be persuaded not to join the fight .
For a normal god, an avatar was much less powerful than the true self . For Gods who were good at fighting, such as the God of Justice, Yorgaardman, who was in a fierce fight with the Dragon of Chaos now, their avatars were just slightly less powerful than their actual selves, and their avatars also belonged to the level of the Great Divine Power . But for the Gods in and below mid-level Divine Power, their avatars were much weaker .
That was to say, an avatar of a mid-level Divine Power God was similar to a God with low-level Divine Power, which still could help on the battlefield . An avatar of a low-level Divine Power God was similar to a God with weak Divine Power, which could do almost nothing there . As for an avatar of a weak Divine Power God, they would definitely die in the fight happening just then .
In fact, in the Master God’s Kingdom of the Natural God System, several Gods with mid-level Divine Power were gathering their power again and preparing to send their strongest avatars to help . They planned to win the battle with a single attack .
However, they were also waiting for the result of the fight between Yorgaardman and the Dragon of Chaos .
The level of this battle was so high that the mid-level Divine Powers were not even qualified to take part in it . The only thing they could do was wait .
If the God of Justice won, even if he was exhausted and unable to fight again, these Gods of the Natural God System still felt they had a larger chance of winning, since the Dragon of Chaos would be gone . If the God of Justice was defeated, it would be impossible for these Gods to enter the God’s Kingdom of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest to help, since the Dragon of Chaos would be guarding it .
A war between Gods was just like that . Although the God followers were busy fighting, and the oracles and followers were even more enthusiastic, it meant nothing . What really decided the final result of a war was the confrontation between the powerful Gods at the top .
This was somewhat similar to the situation on earth, such as the small countries in the Middle East that had been caught in fierce wars and worried about producing all kinds of astonishing and scary news from time to time . But in fact, for big countries, conflicts between small countries were just small tricks . If the big powers really made a move, even if it was something like a slight slap, the seemingly powerful forces of these small countries would be in a terrible mess . They could do nothing but seek help from their stronger allies .
The poor Goddess of Bumper Harvest was now facing such a dilemma . For her, the stronger helper was naturally the two Great Divine Powers—the King of Sky and Earth Mother . However, for the same reason that the Goddess of Bumper Harvest had once tried to take the position of the Master God of Natural God system, these two Great Divine Powers did not like her and had no intention to help her at all . Among other Great Divine Powers, only the God of Justice acted on righteousness, but it wasn’t enough .
In this way, the only thing left for her to do was run away or die .
No, because of her hesitation and indecisiveness, there probably would be no chance to escape when it came to the last minute .
What was waiting for her was only death!
