Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 820 - 49

Perfikot had previously obtained information about the gods from the former God of Wisdom, so she was quite familiar with them.

However, this understanding was gained through the previous God of Wisdom, lacking timeliness in intelligence.

After all, the former God of Wisdom was killed in the mythological era, several thousand years have passed since then, and human civilization, having broken free from the control of the gods, has developed significantly.

This has led to much of the information becoming outdated or distorted.

Human intelligence on the gods is practically nonexistent; Perfikot can only gather information about the gods from church records and confessions of captured cultists.

The arrival of Aili supplemented Perfikot's lack of intelligence in this area, bringing the latest information about the gods.

"Currently, there are only seven main gods left; five of the original twelve main gods have fallen, with three of them confirmed to be completely dead," Aili began with this shocking news for Perfikot.

The former God of Wisdom had told Perfikot about the twelve gods, and now Aili says five are dead, with three confirmed unrecoverable, which indeed brings Perfikot a significant concern.

"Which five have died?" Perfikot asked worriedly, needing to know who her enemies were.

Aili understood that Perfikot would ask this question, so she concisely said, "Agriculture, the sea, the home, wisdom, and hunting, all five main gods are positions closely related to humans.

Once humans stopped worshipping them, their powers started dwindling until they perished."

"No wonder the gods resorted to freezing the world to cleanse humanity instead of other methods." Perfikot nodded in understanding and was not puzzled by the death of the five main gods.

The whole world was frozen, and the sea completely frozen; if the God of the Sea were still alive, he would never accept being sealed like this.

As for the God of Wisdom, one had already died, and another dying did not surprise Perfikot either.

Claiming to be wise, yet unable to save one's own life is truly ironic, leaving others to wonder where the wisdom of the two generations of Wisdom Gods truly lies.

As for the remaining agriculture, home, and hunting, these three positions are also closely related to humans, and when humans stop worshipping them, they are bound to decline.

On the contrary, gods like the War God and Goddess of Beauty are not so easily perishable.

It's ironic when spoken of; humanity will never be without war, and the love of beauty accompanies humanity to its end.

"Who are the two with hopes of resurrection? Wisdom must be one, who is the other?" Perfikot recalled she had a wisdom crown, guessing it might be the trump card for the God of Wisdom's resurrection.

Aili widened her eyes at Perfikot, surprised she knew, but answered, "It's the God of the Sea; although he is dead, as long as the sea exists, he has the opportunity for resurrection."

This outcome did not exceed Perfikot's expectations. In fact, apart from the God of Wisdom, she wouldn't be surprised if any of the other four had a chance of resurrection.

More than that, Perfikot was concerned about one thing: "You said the gods plan to launch a new round of attacks, what's going on?"

"I've already dealt with the subordinates sent by the Goddess of Beauty and resolved the blizzard; what else can they come up with? Who's the next wave of attackers?"

"You mean the Dream Sect incident, right? Strictly speaking, they are not followers of the Goddess of Beauty but indeed have faith in her." Aili was aware of the events Perfikot mentioned and nodded before continuing: "This blizzard was the work of the God of Snow and Ice. She's the new main god replacing the God of Light.

This blizzard is not the end but the beginning, and she will continue to bring even more extreme and harsh weather.

After this comes the War God, whom you have met; his attack method is war, a war waged by his followers and minions."

"No wonder you were so anxious for us to gather troops and prepare for war; so that's what this is about." Perfikot nodded in understanding, realizing Aili's motives for her previous actions.

Aili was excited when Perfikot finally grasped her concerns and exclaimed, "That's it! The War God's army can invade any time, and you're all still so leisurely, it's frustrating!"

"It's certainly a problem, but your focus seems misguided; you should have come to me first." Perfikot shook her head, still not agreeing with Aili's previous actions: "Simply exploiting workers to increase production efficiency is ineffective; the policy seems good mostly because your powers are at work.

I had people investigate other factories and found that, after the new policy was implemented, workers' labor hours and intensity increased, and though they earned more, their enthusiasm decreased.

They began to complain more about the toil and started experiencing fatigue and resentment.

So far, no more issues have surfaced, but the factory's product quality and production efficiency have indeed slightly declined."

Hearing Perfikot's words, Aili felt embarrassed and apologized to Perfikot: "I'm sorry! I really didn't know it would cause so many consequences; it was after asking shipyard workers that I told Miss Kafka like that!"

Aili wasn't recklessly doing things; she had indeed conducted a serious investigation and only told Kafka what to do after reaching a conclusion. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Hearing Aili's response, Perfikot wasn't angry but helplessly explained, "Workers do hope for more base pay, especially shipyard workers, since their base wages aren't high, mostly earning extra from fulfilling ship orders and overtime pay.

They'd certainly want an increase in base wages.

Especially as their work hours are determined by the urgency of orders, the completion period of a ship is their bonus payout timeline.

If slightly extending daily work hours to implement a double shift increases speed, it's an acceptable cost for shipyard workers.

Because that's their workload, finishing faster means they get paid sooner.

But it's different for workers elsewhere; they aren't paid this way, but perform repetitive mechanical tasks daily; over time, they get more tired of work than shipyard workers.

That's why your approach faces issues."
