“The matter is settled,” said Sui Xiong. When he returned to his G.o.d’s Kingdom, he lightly touched on the matter, then with a sigh, he said, “I’ll go rest for a while.”

“Your Majesty… Is the G.o.d of Plague powerful?” asked the G.o.d of Medicine, Arcaian, who was a little worried.

Sui Xiong shook his head and said, “Not powerful at all. But… he was not an easy guy to talk to. That guy’s way of thinking is completely different from normal people.”

With that, he left the conference hall. The various G.o.ds left in the room looked at one another with looks of wonder written all over their faces.

“This is my first time seeing Auscar say something like that,” Javier said.

“True. Usually, we are the ones thinking that his way of thinking is different from normal people. Now, he’s the one who actually finds someone else’s way of thinking strange…” Morani muttered to himself with shock written all over his face. “Exactly how unbelievable can this guy be, to make His Majesty so shocked?”

The crowd discussed for a good half a day but could not find an answer.

Without a word, Sui Xiong randomly found a place and sprawled on the ground listlessly. He was put into the doldrums.

A round of communication with the G.o.d of Plague left him feeling very hurt with an intense mental injury.

After resting for a while, he began to ponder the question of the G.o.d of Plague. Other than spreading and transmitting plague, were there any other paths that the G.o.d of Plague could take?

At first glance, it seemed as though there were none. But thinking about it carefully, Sui Xiong felt that a transformation was not impossible.

He could transform from “a G.o.d who spread the plague” to “a G.o.d that managed the plague,” and then even progress further to become “a G.o.d who managed illness.” That should not be that impossible, right?

He thought again and shook his head in silence. With the bearlike appearance of that G.o.d of Plague, most likely, this would not work out.

Regardless of the angle, that guy looked no different from a mental patient. Sui Xiong felt that he would never be able to understand things that were too profound. He also felt that the G.o.d of Plague would not be able to settle down and concentrate on research in order to adjust his priesthood.

Up to this point, Sui Xiong suddenly froze. Then quietly, he pa.s.sed on a message to the G.o.d of Justice.

“Big brother, if one is sealed as a G.o.d by killing and then seizing the priesthood of another G.o.d, can he skip the step of ‘understanding of the priesthood?’”

The G.o.d of Justice replied, “Yes, it’s indeed possible, but the requirements are stringent. Only a Legendary Master who has killed a G.o.d can seize the priesthood and directly proceed to the path of being a sealed G.o.d. This is not possible for demiG.o.ds.”

“In other words, if I catch a few waning G.o.ds and get a few of my Legendary Masters to kill these G.o.ds, my men will be able to obtain more followers?”

The G.o.d of Justice was silent for a moment, then said, “Wait a while. Let me go sound this out first.”

Within the Pantheon temple, his clone crept up to the Master of Order quietly and asked in a low voice.

“It’s long been disallowed,” said the Master of Order without any expression. “I had previously allowed this to happen in the hope of bringing in some variables that could bring about changes in this world. As a result, out of those who were sealed as G.o.ds via this way, almost none were decent G.o.ds. So I abolished this practice. Now, it’s not possible for a mortal to directly seize a priesthood after killing a G.o.d to become a sealed G.o.d.”

“Such a big matter, yet you did not even tell us about it?” said the G.o.d of Justice, who was greatly taken aback.

The Master of Order simply ignored him.

The G.o.d of Justice gave a mirthless laugh and relayed his reply to Sui Xiong. When Sui Xiong heard about it, he shook his head and sighed.

“How could I have missed that opportune time…?”

He also knew that it was not difficult for him if he truly wanted to promote a G.o.d follower. He could directly gather a few elite followers and entrust them with those sealed G.o.d’s Kingdom—for example, Rhode, who was finally tired of living and ended his mortal life to come to his G.o.d’s Kingdom as a follower. He would be an ideal candidate. Then they would have great hope in being sealed as G.o.ds.

However, such a way also entailed considerable risks.

The time since the establishment of Church of the Void Mask was still too short. There were too few outstanding talents within his G.o.d’s Kingdom. A follower who was a good match for a priesthood had to be found in order to increase the success rate of successfully sealed G.o.ds. Yet such followers were not easy to find.

In the past, Javier had promoted two of his followers to G.o.ds in one go. It seemed like he breezed through the process, but there was a reason for it—between these two G.o.ds, one of them was the successor to his original priesthood, “Celebration.” The succession of a priesthood was sure to proceed without a hitch so long as that follower was a Holy Spirit of Javier. On the other hand, the other G.o.d succeeded to the priesthood of the “G.o.d of Wine” to become a G.o.d who showed great reverence for pleasure and intense fondness for celebration. It was not difficult for Javier to find a wine lover among his believers.

By contrast, for the rest of the G.o.d’s Kingdoms, finding suitable successors for them was not as easy.

This was also very normal. If a successor was so easily found, the War G.o.d System would have long found suitable followers and conferred the priesthoods to them. Several G.o.d followers would have been promoted then. Why would they have remained up till now?

In truth, Sui Xiong felt that if he really wanted to promote the G.o.d followers, he could probably use the corpses of elven G.o.ds found among the Master of Mystery’s treasure collection as a medium and extract their divinity. Then he could find suitable successors from the advanced elves of the Elven race, or even from within the Legendary Masters. Maybe this would be the most reliable way.

He was someone who put his thoughts into action, so he went straight to the treasure trove and opened up the little world that was specifically used for collecting the heritage of elven G.o.ds.

This little world was sealed by extremely clever means, so the pa.s.sage of time had a negligible effect on it. Everything that was stored in it was no different from how they were when they were just put in.

Sui Xiong lauded at how omnipotent the Master of Mystery was. Then he began his search.

“The elves’ G.o.d of Hunting. This is pretty good. It should be easy to find a successor for this. There must be many hunters in the Elven race.

“The elves’ G.o.ddess of Reproduction. Haha. It’s certainly going to be easy finding a successor for this too…! No, this one doesn’t give me a good vibe. It might probably cause trouble. Skip, skip.

“The elves’ G.o.d of Revenge. This seems to exist already…

“The elves’ G.o.d of Art, also, G.o.ds of Opera, Sculpture, Painting, Dance, Calligraphy and so on… This guy is almost like a little G.o.d King, with so many followers under his command. I remember Wall and Song Ballard also have elf followers. Maybe they can consider promoting one or two of them to become G.o.ds.

“The elves’ G.o.d of Protection. This one causes trouble too easily. No way, no way.”

He looked left and right, choosing and selecting from the numerous elven G.o.ds’ corpses like an auntie buying vegetables, but even towards the end, he did not go near to the Master G.o.d of the Elven race—the G.o.d of Nature and Balance.

This Master G.o.d of the Elven race might have fallen, but his priesthood had never been reacquired by any other G.o.d. It was generally believed that at his moment of death, he entrusted his priesthood to the great nature. Any spellcaster who aspired to protect nature and maintain the balance of the world could resonate with his priesthood and thus, gain his Divine Power and divinity.

In other words, it was precisely because of this “entrusting one’s body to the mountains” before he died that this world could have many druids who did not need to believe in any G.o.d but could still cast spells. They relied only on their respect and love for nature, as well as their resonance with nature.

Sui Xiong had no wish to create a “G.o.d of Druids,” so he would absolutely stay away from hitting on the elves’ G.o.d Master.

Just as he was carefully making his selections, he frowned all of a sudden as his gaze fell upon a small pearl.

“Sealed Pearl?! What’s hidden in here?”
