From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 36, Make the Best of a Mistake

I was confused, but I finally freed up my hands.

Du Yuan came to the listless Eye of Rules and grabbed it. The Eye of Rules, which had just been taught a lesson by the Divine Core, was unusually obedient and was obediently caught in Du Yuan's hand.

And under the guidance of Du Yuan's divine power, it obediently turned into a group of graffiti-like eyes and fixed on Du Yuan's forehead.

The special treasure called Divine Eye is not like the divine card which can only work on the followers. Divine Eye is a treasure used by gods.

Du Yuan had now completed the control of the Eye of Rules, but the graffiti lines on his forehead could no longer be hidden.

Even though Du Yuan subdued the Eye of Rules through a brutal fight with the Divine Core, as an apprentice god, he was not able to completely control the Eye of Rules, so this graffiti eye appeared.

I am convinced but only roughly. However, this is all I can do for now, so I just let it be.

The problem is easy to solve. Once Du Yuan's rank is raised, this problem can be solved naturally.

But before that, Du Yuan looked at the busy rats below him, but he was not very satisfied. During this period, the rats developed very rapidly and the number of slave rats was expanding rapidly.

Almost nine-tenths of the ratmen became slave rats and worked in these mountains.

The mineral veins were mined very quickly.

The ratmen's army swept through the forest without stopping.

Even the priests of his own clan were devoutly and fanatically preparing to give him a gift.

Everything seemed to be going well, except for a few minor problems.

Du Yuan cast his gaze towards the depths of the forest in the east not far away.

In a corner explored by the ratmen, on the edge of a vast swamp wetland, traces of old friends appeared.

Some scattered lizardmen roam among them.

There is no doubt that that was the direction Li Sheng retreated to.

On the other side, in the west of the endless forest, some strange shadows appeared.

Because there were still a few ratmen active in that direction, Du Yuan was not sure about the specific situation there, but Du Yuan had a hunch that that person should also be a student.

And these rat people were indifferent.

The rat-men warlords were constantly chasing after easy targets for more blood mushrooms and had no interest in paying attention to the strange shadows in the far west. Under pressure from sacrifices and white rats, the priests simply ignored the lizardmen who retreated into the wetlands.

I can’t tell whether it’s because I’m arrogant or because I’m minding my own business and don’t want to get involved in those troubles.

This is a big problem.

Although it was a bitter fruit that had to be eaten, it was the bitter fruit that was brewed when Du Yuan accepted the rat people's greedy beliefs and when the rat people, driven by the blood mushrooms, rushed towards theocracy and slavery.

Greedy rats only care about their own interests, while devout ratmen fanatically try to please the gods.

For these two things, everything else can give way.

This is a difficult problem to correct, but if you think about it from a different perspective, this problem can be transformed.

Since it's already a theocratic slavery, why not just turn it into a fanatical theocratic military slavery.

The devout fight holy wars for their faith, and the greedy fight bloody battles for profit.

Even though the road was wrong from the beginning, we might as well just go with it.

But before that, Du Yuan decided to do one thing first. The gods are not always as vast and benevolent as the earth, but as unpredictable as the ocean and as difficult to approach as a storm.

In short, the unhappy Du Yuan wanted to show his anger to the rats. He looked at the slowly building pyramid below him, the gift that was prepared for him.

Du Yuan would accept this gift, and at the same time, it would make these cunning, cowardly, greedy and crazy mice understand what exactly they should do.

Du Yuan accepted his identity as the evil god very calmly. Perhaps it was because the recent troubles made him need power more urgently, or perhaps it was because he really had no backing and no sense of security.

………….

In the academy, a hooded and somewhat suspicious figure stood in a corner, waiting for something.

Not long after, the person he was waiting for arrived, a young man with hurried steps, although there was a hint of hesitation on his face when he saw Du Yuan.

"Brother Du?"

He shouted out with a little hesitation.

"What's wrong? Just because I'm wearing a hat, you can't recognize me?"

After hearing Du Yuan's voice, the young man hurriedly explained.

"No, no, it's just that recently there's been a rumor in school that Mr. Li has been targeting you and using you as a stepping stone!"

"Well, that's a small matter, but I did have some minor troubles recently. Well, I didn't ask you out to talk about this."

Du Yuan just said a few words casually, skipped over the matter, and then took out a stack of cards from his arms.

"I haven't had much free time recently. Please help me deliver these things to the hospital."

Du Yuan gave Liu San a stack of Faith God Cards. Judging from the thickness, there were probably about three thousand of them. He stuffed them into Liu San's arms.

Nothing more was said.

Du Yuan turned around and left. After Du Yuan left, Liu Sandu was still dizzy holding the Faith God Card in his arms.

This is a huge sum of money for ordinary students.

But Du Yuan gave it to him, so naturally he trusted him. Soon Liu San came to his senses, stuffed the magic card in his hand into his arms, and after a brief thought, he looked in the direction where Du Yuan left with some worry.

As a child who came out of the orphanage with Du Yuan, he certainly knew Du Yuan inside and out. In his opinion, Du Yuan was probably pushed to the limit by Li Sheng, and had already converted his faith into a Faith God Card and took it out.

However, he couldn't help Du Yuan anymore, and Liu San felt inexplicably depressed.

Although being noticed by the Academy of Gods and successfully becoming an apprentice god is something that many people can't even dream of, if given a choice, who would want to go through such a hard time as being a war god?

But in fact, the hardships involved are hard to explain, especially for people like him and Du Yuan.

Don’t you see, even someone as tenacious as Du Yuan was inexplicably used as a stepping stone by the young man of that family, and was forced to give up the path to becoming a god out of helplessness.

The road ahead is long and difficult. Inexplicably, Liu San had some strange insights and determination, until he was interrupted by the news brought by a young man who was also in a hurry.

"Liu San, Liu San, Brother Du won! That Li Sheng was defeated miserably by Brother Du!"

"you sure?!"

"This matter has spread throughout the academy, and the big sister is ready to take us back to apologize to Brother Du!"

In a trance, Liu San, who had just realized something, showed a strange expression and perfectly expressed his current complex emotions with one word.

"what?!"
