Even though I had spent a great deal of money on this war, as well as a great deal of Divine Power to project an artwork of Jaina's face and voice over the capital, the fruits of my labor ca quickly.
Within the first hour of the Internet going live in the capital of Eldoria, I had already received over 100,000 prayers from curious Internet users, earning a total of 55,000 Divine Power points.
The extra 5,000 Divine Power points I received ca from the 10% increase in efficiency I've had in controlling Divine Power since moving up a rank.
Because I released new updates on the Internet every ti I upgraded, and because I kept the cost of using them very high, my profit never increased.
But the last few days were different.
Even though I had spent Divine Power to test so of the functionalities of my power and what I could do, now I didn't have any new upgrades planned until I beca an Elental God.
So with the extra 10% efficiency, the 0.5 Divine Power points I gained from each prayer of the faithful had increased to 0.55 Divine Power points of gain.
Strangely enough, the cost of broadcasting the audio on the Internet for the believers to learn to read was still as expensive as before, costing 1 Divine Power Point for every hour of audio the believers listened to.
When I tried to understand why, I discovered that even though I had risen in rank, because I hadn't really focused on this area, my knowledge and control of the Divine Power to reproduce this kind of power was not being used 100%.
Obviously, just learning to use Divine Power more efficiently wouldn't cut all my costs manually, but I would have to learn to apply that efficiency to all the uses of Divine Power I would have from now on.
Since the rest of the Internet was sothing I focused on with much more frequency and interest, I unconsciously learned to apply that better efficiency to those airlines.
However, the audio part was completely abandoned by , only Robert and Amber took care of it.
But seeing that I was missing a lot of Divine Power, I decided to concentrate on that part only for the ti being.
With so little Divine Power, I didn't have much to do at the mont.

=========================
The total number of worshippers was increasing at a rapid rate, only slightly slower than when I started the Guardian iMonster feature.
But I was confident that Eldoria would be completely under my control in a few days, so I used my consciousness from the mortal world to control the dragon and help Jaina take complete control of Eldoria, while leaving my main body in the divine world to work on optimizing my use of divine power for audio transmission.
During the attack on Eldoria, I took several photos of Jaina and the dragon attacking the capital of the kingdom, and as soon as the attack was over, a new publication appeared in [Arcantor National].
This publication was a report from Jaina about the attack, warning that the war between the two countries would end, and that she intended to hold a eting between the leaders of Arcantor and the nobles of Eldoria to bring the situation in the country under control.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Since Eldoria's royal family and even the god who protected the kingdom had fallen, almost all the chips in this future negotiation were in the hands of Arcantor's managers, so I wasn't worried about how it would turn out.
At this point, I thought it was funny that I had been so busy sending hidden emissaries to Eldoria, thinking that I would only use them to control the kingdom in a hidden way, but who would have thought that I would send such a frontal attack in just a few days?
But even if the believers who infiltrated the kingdom weren't used as I originally intended, just having them around to gather information about Eldoria and the royal family's activities was extrely useful.
If I had a big data engine, I would have even more information and could even begin to actively control public opinion in Eldoria in an automated way.
But the cost of the big data I needed was too high for at the mont...
===
In the five days that passed, my control of Divine Power for the use of audio on the Internet finally reached the point I wanted, lowering the cost to 0.9 Divine Power points per hour of use by mortals, allowing to receive at least so of the profit from the Divine Power they spent to learn.
By this ti, Robert's Teaching Blessing had expired, and I had to use it on him again.

=========================
When I looked at the screen of the system I had developed, I had a big smile on my face.
I had received more than 200,000 believers from Eldoria and the other neighboring kingdoms, but the vast majority were from Eldoria.
This huge number of believers ant that my average daily gain for the last five days was 577k!
577k Divine Power points of net profit in just one day! A number so staggering that I'm sure if it were known to other gods, it would be a complete shock to anyone who saw it.
Considering that other gods would need to have at least 4 million followers to receive such a large daily amount, I was receiving 7 tis more Divine Power Points than any other god with the sa number of followers as !
In just two days, I had already accumulated enough Divine Power to be able to level up again, but learning from the battle I had just fought, I knew it would be too risky to just level up without having so Divine Power saved up for an ergency.
Considering that Eldoria was now my territory, the probability of an ergency was very low, so much so that at tis I really wanted to ignore this concern and just level up.
But I controlled myself, thinking that sothing bad could happen, and just as I was worried, sothing bad did happen.
Since today was the 30th day of the test in the mortal world and the 15th day in the divine world, this ant that half of the ti available for the test had already passed.
At this point, the Gods had already received four prayers from the believers in the mortal world, solidifying their strength to a point where they felt very comfortable, and this comfort from the Gods ant that the wars in the mortal world were becoming more and more frequent.
But now, with the gods participating even more actively, without worrying so much about the cost of divine power, they are making attacks on other gods.
Just as the God of Fear and I were fighting, using our Divine Power as fuel to dominate each other's territory, other gods were doing the sa thing.
This happened to one of Arcantor's neighboring kingdoms, Valoria, the kingdom ruled by the God of Mountains.
An opponent that I thought would be quite difficult to deal with, but who was surprisingly defeated by the God of Thunder!
According to posts from Valorian Internet users who were converted by the caravans I sent there, there was apparently an extrely noisy war between the God of Thunder and the God of the Mountains that destroyed several cities and ended with the defeat of the God of the Mountains.
The problem with all this was that, theoretically, the Earth Elent should be a counter to the Electric Elent, right?
And from what the mortals of Valoria were talking about on the Internet, Zack was actually using electric attacks when he attacked...
That didn't make sense, even if the God of the Mountains was weaker than Zack, their difference wasn't so big that Zack's weakness was ignored and he won that battle, which left very confused.
Until I thought of sothing.
Zack was the God of Thunder, not the God of Lightning, which ant that his divinity was not electricity, but the sound that thunder made.
Possibly due to a misinterpretation of his divinity and a slight affinity with lightning, he unconsciously used lightning as a ans of spreading thunder, but the real damage he caused was through the sound waves of the attacks!
The more I thought about it, the more it made sense!
What remained to be seen was whether Zack knew this or not, because if he did and had deliberately tricked the other gods into thinking he had an elental weakness against the Earth, he was smarter than I thought.
Or he just didn't know, and he may have wasted a lot of divine power in his attacks to unintentionally compensate for that weakness.
By better understanding how this divinity of his worked, I could use my Divine Power to deal with him more effectively.
Especially considering that this might be the mont when he was at his weakest because he had spent so much Divine Power on this battle, it would also be the best ti to take advantage of his weakness and attack!
So, with a plan in mind, I decided to use 1.2 million Divine Power to rise to rank 9 and call another eting with the Archmages of Arcantor to prepare for another attack.
