With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 154 Dungeon Conference (3)

Of course, Lin Fan didn't have much time to continue these thoughts since there was a change with the hall.

It was a very sudden change that wasn't subtle at all.

All of the lights in the room suddenly turned off and all of the dungeon cores suddenly turned in one direction.

It was an obscure door that had been in the corner of the hall from the beginning.

Lin Fan had already noticed this door when he had been looking around the room earlier, but he didn't think much about it since it was just a normal looking door.

However, the moment that the dungeon cores all suddenly turned to look at it, he naturally couldn't ignore it.

Rokuko beside him couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"

But of course, no one answered this question since they were all busy.

Then in unison as if they had already planned it ahead of time, all of the dungeon cores fell onto one knee and bowed in the direction of that door even though the door hadn't  opened yet. That was, everyone except for Lin Fan and Rokuko who still didn't know what was happening.

As the only two who were still standing, naturally they attracted plenty of attention from the other dungeon cores.

There were many different looks that were aimed at them.

Some were filled with hostility, some were filled with anger, some were filled with indignation, but not a single one of them was filled with sympathy. It was almost as if every single dungeon core felt that they were committing a crime right now.

Lin Fan immediately knew what he should do, so he pulled Rokuko by the hand and brought her down to one knee as he bowed along with everyone.

When they finally bowed down, there were people that stopped paying them attention, but not all of them looked away. There were still a few that were looking in their directions with hostile looks.

It seemed that with just a single move, they had already made some enemies…

Lin Fan couldn't help bitterly shaking his head at this, but there was nothing he could do now.

Rather, he was more curious why everyone was suddenly bowing to this seemingly normal looking door. Or it could be said that he was curious who was currently behind this seemingly normal looking door.

After the way that everyone had acted, it was impossible for him to not notice that there was something special about the person who was supposed to come out of this door.

But even after everyone kneeled down, there was no one who came out.

It took a full minute before the door finally opened and a sloppily dressed person came out.

There was nothing special about this person, even his appearance was as normal as could be. In fact, he actually looked worse than normal because his hair was a mess and his clothes were dirty.

However, none of the dungeon cores cared about this as they all showed looks of reverence towards this person.

Lin Fan couldn't help wondering just who this person was.

This person came through the door and just stood there looking at the dungeon cores bowing to him. After looking at them for a while, he didn't say anything as he turned in another direction and walked over to a luxurious looking chair that had been prepared for him.

He sat down in the chair and then waved his hand before saying, "Alright, you can all do what you want. I'll just sit here and listen."

One of the people suddenly came forward and said with a bow, "Yes, father."

Then this person turned to the rest and said, "Let's begin this year's dungeon conference."

After this, all of the dungeon cores finally stood up and started mingling with one another again.

Lin Fan couldn't help knitting his brows as he looked at the sloppily dressed person who had come in.

Even a fool could see how important he was to these dungeon cores, so even a fool could guess that this person was most likely…the one who had created the dungeon cores.

But just to be sure, Lin Fan checked with his system.

As for why he didn't use the Appraisal Eyes, he was certain that it would be impossible for him to see through a god with these Appraisal Eyes. He couldn't even see through Mu Bao Bao who was only in the Golden Core Realm with them and had even received a backlash.

He didn't even want to think about how strong the backlash of trying to use the Appraisal Eyes on a god would be.

So he asked the system since the system was sensitive to divine power.

As expected, the system said, "Correct, that is a god with divine power, but it is only a clone just like the one that the host has met before."

Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "Aphrodite was only a clone?"

The system said in a slightly annoyed voice, "Host, do you really think that the gods are as free as you? They are able to split parts of their consciousness off as clones to handle matters for them. Naturally, they would use clones for small matters like this."

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile when he heard this, but there was nothing that he could refute the system with.

After all, he was indeed unable to compare to any god right now.

But at the same time, there was a thought that passed through his mind.

Since there was a god in front of him, if he was able to get a sliver of divine energy from this god, wouldn't he be able to complete the main quest and level up his system again?

The last level up unlocked the mission tab and the store tab, so he was looking forward to what would be unlocked this time.

But even though this was only a thought that passed through his mind, the system said, "Host, if you wish to die, please choose a smarter way. If you try to steal divine energy from this god, then you will most certainly be attacked by every dungeon core in this room. There will be no way for you to escape this place, especially since you have no way to leave this place in the first place."

Lin Fan once again revealed a bitter smile, but he chose not to respond to this. Mainly it was because once again, there was nothing that he could refute it with.

There weren't many people who came over to talk to them, but that was normal since they were the newest members to come to this conference. No one believed that they had any valuable information, so naturally no one came to talk to them.

Well, it wasn't no one, there were still some dungeon cores that did come and talk to them.

These were the younger dungeon cores that all belonged to different factions among dungeon cores and since they were closer to Rokuko in age, it was more appropriate for them to talk to her. But all they talked about was how their faction was the best and how Rokuko should join their faction.

From these talks, Lin Fan was able to learn that there were three different factions among the dungeon cores.

They were the three factions that everyone expected. They were the aggressive, neutral, and friendly factions.

As for what they were aggressive, neutral, or friendly towards, naturally it was the humans who dominated most of the lands in this world.

The aggressive faction was led by the number 2 core who believed that dungeon cores should attack humans and kill them all for DP. The dungeon cores that made up this faction all invested their DP into strengthening their dungeons, making sure that they could defeat any challengers that came.

The friendly factions were those that welcomed humans and tried to co-exist with them. They invested their DP into designing their dungeons in a way that humans would want to keep visiting their dungeons, earning them DP over time while also allowing them to integrate into human society.

Most of these dungeons were found in large human cities and were the foundations of many nations, so their power came from their human armies rather than their own forces. Of course, they didn't lack forces since they also earned quite a bit of DP from the humans that lived in their territory. So they were able to summon the best monsters to defend their dungeons with.

Though most of the time, those monsters were used for other things. Such as being used as personal servants, ministers, or generals.

As for the neutral faction, as their name implied, they were a faction that refrained from interacting with humans completely. They just built their dungeons and earned points however they earned points.

While those in the neutral faction earned far less DP than the aggressive and friendly factions, they were by no means weaker than these two other factions.

Otherwise, if they were too weak, there was no way for them to create this neutral faction. This neutral faction had only been created with the strength of the three leaders of the neutral faction, three dungeon cores that had incredible strength and minions that deterred the other dungeon cores from having any ideas about the neutral faction.

After learning all this information, Lin Fan was careful about his decision on which faction to join.

Of course, that was only between the friendly faction and the neutral faction. The aggressive faction was completely out of the question since it went against Lin Fan's ideals.

The funny thing was that Haku who approached them before was actually the leader of the friendly faction and she controlled it with an iron fist. After all, she controlled one of the strongest empires on the magic continent, so there really wasn't anyone who could challenge her.

At the same time, Haku had also shown interest towards Lin Fan and Rokuko, so Lin Fan was actually more partial towards joining the friendly faction.

However, before he knew what the strength of each faction was like, it was unwise to rush into a decision. So for now, Lin Fan had decided not to join any of the factions.

Of course, Rokuko left all of the decisions to Lin Fan like she had been doing this entire time, so she never said a thing. There was a buffet that had been served at this conference and that was what attracted her attention.

As they were mingling, one of the dungeon cores made his way over to the man sitting on the throne and whispered a few words to him. After this, the man suddenly looked up and turned his gaze to look at Lin Fan and Rokuko who were currently mingling with some other dungeon cores.

After looking at Lin Fan for a while, the man suddenly revealed a smile and stroked his chin as he said, "Interesting, very interesting…"
