Global Deities: My Talent Comes from the Stars

Chapter 76 Communication Between Gods

"No, this is a promise made by the gods to their beloved divine messengers."

In the corridor of the present world, Liang Jiu suddenly spoke up, attracting the curiosity of Pan Xiaopang who was standing next to him.

"Liang Jiu, what did you just say?"

"I was moved by what I saw in the divine realm, that's all."

Pan Xiaopang stopped and circled Liang Jiu twice, scrutinizing him closely. "Being able to simultaneously perceive both the divine realm and the mortal world—shouldn't that be a skill only a third-level god could master? Liang Jiu, have you been in the divine realm for too long and are your perceptions becoming confused?"

"Perhaps I have a special talent?" Liang Jiu replied.

"Could my brother really be a genius?" Pan Xiaopang didn't joke around and flattered him, then brought his thoughts back to the main topic, "But let's continue with our previous conversation. Liang Jiu, I'd like to spend some Federal Coins to buy some iron weapons from your divine realm to prepare for the upcoming exam. I can pay a higher price than the market price."

Liang Jiu was somewhat surprised: "The Druids are still unwilling to develop iron tools?"

"Oh, don't even mention it. Their profession is what it is; they're essentially a bunch of barbarians, and they happen to be bloodthirsty barbarians who advocate environmental protection. Asking them to mine mountains and build furnaces to forge weapons is worse than taking their lives."

He sighed and continued to complain, "The technology can't be developed at all, and I don't know if that's good or bad. The good thing is that they will always maintain the most primitive faith in the gods. The bad thing is that it seems that I can only go down the path of cultivating extraordinary followers. I don't know if introducing a second follower can alleviate the problem, but it's a long shot and can't solve the immediate problem. Besides, my current divine realm can only accommodate a few mortals at most."

After listening, Liang Jiu made a plan in his mind.

The Smelter Clan's smelting technology is now mature, with blast furnaces operating day and night, making it easy to produce surplus pig iron weapons. However, his own divine realm is currently facing a new predicament.

As the proportion of extraordinary individuals among the Xin Clan increases, ordinary warhorses can no longer match the physical capabilities of these extraordinary individuals. Whether in terms of charging speed or long-distance stamina, ordinary horses offer no clear advantage, becoming a burden on the battlefield and hindering the extraordinary individuals' actions. The warhorse he had painstakingly brought back from Li Qinggu's divine realm ultimately ended up competing with oxen for plowing.

Li Qinggu's retinue consisted of necromancers with poor physical strength, and Fanma could already meet her needs, but to provide combat power for the Xin Clan, he needed to go a step further.

"We can provide you with weapons, free of charge, guaranteed to be heavy weapons suitable for druids," Liang Jiu offered.

Pan Xiaopang was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands repeatedly: "Even brothers should keep clear accounts. Ironware is a hard currency in all the divine realms. Your divine realm also needs to consume its own resource production. How can I take it for free?"

"I also have some conditions." Liang Jiu didn't keep them in suspense and explained his intentions. "I need the druids in your divine realm to do me a favor. I need them to help me find a mate for the horses in my divine realm."

Pan Xiaopang perked up: "Mating?"

"The warriors of the Clan have already reached the transcendent realm, and their existing horses are all ordinary breeds, offering no help on the battlefield," Liang Jiu explained. "Druids excel at communicating with nature and wild beasts. Perhaps having them guide the breeding of those horses could lead to the creation of mounts adapted to the transcendent."

Upon hearing this, Pan Xiaopang immediately patted his chest and said, "Druids are indeed good at communicating with wild beasts, but the creation of hybrids cannot be accomplished in one generation, and hybrids also face the degradation of traits in self-breeding populations."

Liang Jiu was naturally aware of this. As long as one is still a mortal and has not stepped into the realm of the extraordinary, one will inevitably be bound by the constraints of one's genes. The upper limit of mortals is there, and without the existence of gods, most mortals will never be able to cross it in their entire lives.

However, Pan Xiaopang currently needs a batch of iron weapons as an emergency measure to cope with the upcoming mid-term internal examination, and Liang Jiu's request is the same. He doesn't have the energy or wealth to spend a long time deduce the perfect extraordinary creature; he only needs a batch of horses that can form a cavalry in the short term.

Liang Jiu had already come up with a good hybrid combination in his mind.

A special species known as the "White Moss Grey Horse." Although classified as a common breed, it originates from the land of the dead, a native of the dead, and is known for its fierce and violent nature, even capable of devouring flesh. Purebred White Moss Grey Horses are difficult to tame, but their hybrid offspring, created by crossing with ordinary horses, are relatively easier to manage.

When Liang Jiu brought up the terminal and displayed the selected parent image, Pan Xiaopang was genuinely startled.

On the projected image, a giant horse covered in mottled gray and white hair and with bloodshot eyes was tearing at a bloody chunk of flesh.

"You call it a horse?" Pan Xiaopang swallowed hard. "Although it's much cheaper than a superhuman horse and its combat power is strong enough, it's so wild and eats meat. Throwing it directly into my divine realm would be quite a problem for the druids below."

But despite his complaints, with the mid-term internal exams just around the corner, he might not be able to get a good ranking by relying solely on the Druid's nature spells.

Pan Xiaopang gritted his teeth and readily agreed, "Okay, I'll help you with this."

Iron weapons were a necessity to solve the immediate crisis, but Pan Xiaopang also roughly understood Liang Jiu's intentions. Druids are inherently averse to mining and smelting, and their technology tree has long stagnated, leaving them with no choice but to seek breakthroughs in the biological path. If they could gain experience in breeding the White Moss Gray Horses and master the rules of domestication and hybridization of extraordinary creatures, they could apply the same principles to strengthening their own followers in the future.

Every successful deity is a brave person who can open up new paths.

Seeing that he agreed, Liang Jiu began operating the terminal interface. The two leaned against the corridor wall, carefully sifting through the trading pool. After more than half an hour of comparison, they finally purchased a batch of robust and relatively docile females using Federal Coins.

Although these special horses retain their carnivorous nature, as long as their aggression is not strong, they can give the druids some time to cast nature magic and establish communication. And as long as there is communication, taming is possible.

Once the selection was complete, Liang Jiu immediately connected the passage between the two divine realms.

The transaction was complete. The batch of grey-haired white horses transformed into streaks of light and were sent to Pan Xiaopang's territory. At the same time, the first batch of ironware from the Xinzu blast furnace area also crossed the boundary.

Bundles of cast iron spears and broadswords were delivered to the druid's camp, red-eyed horses paced restlessly in their cages, and the natural magic emanating from the resistance forces was palpable everywhere.

The two young gods were more confident in the face of the brutal tests that followed.
