After hearing the G.o.d of Light’s recount, Sui Xiong was silent for a very long time. Then finally, he asked, “So, the G.o.d of Knights, he… did he succeed?”

The G.o.d of Light did not reply. He merely shook his head.

This answer was not unexpected. The G.o.d of Knights had undoubtedly fallen at that time. Sui Xiong was just asking on the off-chance that there was still hope for him.

“But I heard from friends who witnessed the battle that the strength of power at his final moment was beyond imagination,” he said.

“Yes, it was beyond imagination. It was almost close to his peak,” said the G.o.d of Light. “But he failed.”

Sui Xiong was momentarily at a loss for words.

Yes, so what if he was extremely powerful? He failed. He had fallen. Everything became so meaningless.

Among the G.o.ds, the old King of Earth Elements of former years was so powerful that he could propel the Earth Element Plane into engulfing the Main Plane. There was even the need for the Master of Order to personally intervene before he could be stopped. The King of Wind Elements relied solely on his own strength to set up a complete circulation within the inner side of the Ring of the World, thereby establis.h.i.+ng the concept of the “Inner Plane.”

But they had all fallen, and that fall meant that they were nothing at all. Many years later, even the people who knew about them were so few. They were completely buried and forgotten in the clouds and dust of history. After a long time, he remembered a QQ signature of a painter friend of his that said, “Wherever one has trodden, there had to be some traces.”

The G.o.d of Light laughed and said, “What you just said made sense, but it’s also very meaningless.”

Sui Xiong also laughed. After laughing, he asked, “Do you think I’ll be able to use this method of a direct breakthrough of the World’s Origin?”

The G.o.d of Light looked at him seriously for a moment, then said, “I’ll advise you not to try. Because the previous one who tried to do so has died.”

“Perhaps your teacher died because he had abandoned his priesthoods and had become much too weak,” Sui Xiong said.

“You have a point. Maybe your guess is correct, but are you sure you want to put your life on the line all because of this ‘maybe?’”

Sui Xiong thought carefully for a long time and shook his head.

“This is a wise choice.” The G.o.d of Light nodded. Then, two light b.a.l.l.s appeared in his hand.

“These two things here, one is for you, and the other is for my junior, who’s all brawn but no brains,” he said. “If there comes a day where I die, these light b.a.l.l.s shall be the legacy I leave for you both.”

Sui Xiong froze for a moment, then asked, “Why are you suddenly talking about this? From how I see it, you don’t look like you’re going to die.”

“How many people in the world will look like they are about to die?” the G.o.d of Light asked him back.

Sui Xiong laughed drying then took the two light b.a.l.l.s from the G.o.d of Light. Then he asked again, “Which is for me? Which is for my elder brother?”

“Whichever you want. Both are the same,” the G.o.d of Light said. He simply touched on the matter lightly by saying, “Just like those dozens of legacies that the good-for-nothing, who I’ve hacked to death before, had given out; these two legacies are exactly the same.”

Sui Xiong’s smile froze.

After a while, he asked cautiously, “You… know about it?”

“Not at first. I got to know about it later,” the G.o.d of Light said. “Although every G.o.d who received a legacy was very careful in keeping the secret, a secret was something that would always reveal traces of itself when it’s shared by many. Like what you just said, wherever one has trodden, there had to be traces. I noticed this fast enough, so with the help of a little trick, I managed to get one.”

Sui Xiong smiled awkwardly. After a moment, he could not help feeling curious and again, he asked, “What do you think of his legacy?”

“His idea is too clichéd; the standard is not high enough. In short, it certainly was very suitable for someone at his level,” the G.o.d of Light mocked the former Sun G.o.d in a vicious tone. “Even if he was not hacked to death by me, at the end of this road, what awaited him would also not be some greater Divine Power, but rather… Bang!”

He clasped both hands together then push them wide apart to make the action of an explosion.

Sui Xiong nodded. Since he learned about the way the King of Fire Elements had died, he knew that the former Sun G.o.d’s way of thinking was unquestionably not feasible. No matter how reasonable this path might seem, the issue of “intrinsic attributes” was ultimately a dead knot that could never be undone.

All the living creatures in this world have their own intrinsic attributes. There were some who had fire, some water, some wind, some light, some order, some kindness… there were also living creatures whose attributes were not so apparent, and there were many others who were merely more inclined towards a certain direction. But unquestionably, no matter how unapparent the attributes of these living creatures were, their most fundamental attributes could always be found by tracing them to their sources.

No matter how all-inclusive, and no matter how they were integrated and expanded, their intrinsic attributes were ultimately unchanging. Even if they could forcibly make some changes to their intrinsic attributes, it would be meaningless—after changing these attributes, they would naturally develop another kind of attribute. There was nothing in this world that could exist “without attributes.

This did not only apply to living creatures, but also to everything else in the world.

The G.o.ds, of course, were no exception.

The former Sun G.o.d hoped that he could harmonize all realms and priesthoods to complete a “whole world.” This was simply impossible. No matter how hard he tried, he could forget about trying to incorporate priesthoods that were contrary to his intrinsic attributes. If he ever tried to create such a fusion, he would eventually find himself at a dead end.

Just like the King of Fire Elements, no matter how powerful he was, the moment he tried to integrate the “water” priesthood as one of his, he exploded right away.

This could also be seen from the legacy of the former Sun G.o.d. He had clearly put in a lot of hard work and effort into studying the realm and priesthood of the direction of “water” and had done a lot of in-depth research about it. But when Sui Xiong compared his understanding of these realms and priesthoods against that of the former Sun G.o.d, he suddenly realized that there was a huge mistake in the G.o.d’s understanding. If the Sun G.o.d attempted to master these realms and priesthoods according to his understanding of them, he was bound to go wrong and definitely would not be able to reap good results.

Likewise, his studies on realms and priesthoods pertaining to fire and light far surpa.s.sed that of Sui Xiong’s. There were many areas that were real eye-openers for Sui Xiong, who could not help clapping and praising his ingenuity while exclaiming, “Oh my G.o.d! So that’s what it is!”

After all, Sui Xiong came from the sea and practiced ice power. He was a great expert in water and ice. But correspondingly, he was not good at all when it came to fire and the likes of it.

So from within that legacy, Sui Xiong obtained many valuable things that added immensely to his knowledge and greatly enhanced his power. He could be said to be reborn after undergoing a complete change.

But even so, he definitely did not want to follow the path of the former Sun G.o.d.

That was courting his own doom!

Now he was more curious about what kind of knowledge could be found in this “legacy” that the G.o.d of Light had left him. Also, what did the G.o.d of Light himself receive from that legacy that the former Sun G.o.d had left him?

“When you open the legacy that I left you with, you will understand all of these,” said the G.o.d of Light, who did not give a direct reply. He purposefully maintained suspense and kept Sui Xiong guessing by saying, “But… maybe you won’t have the chance to see this legacy. Perhaps when I have stepped up to the realm of greater Divine Power, I can personally explain it to you.”

“You are going to try for a breakthrough to a greater Divine Power?” Sui Xiong was taken aback.

“That’s obviously a given, right? I’m definitely going to give it a shot,” the G.o.d of Light smiled and said. “But… I’m still in the midst of preparation. I’m not ready to start yet. It’s still too early.

“I’m just giving this legacy to you now. It’s nothing more than being prepared with precautionary measures, just in case.”

With that, he stood up and made a gesture of seeing his guest off.

“Wait!” Sui Xiong suddenly recalled his purpose of visit and hurriedly asked, “What do you think of my plan of having a friendly compet.i.tion with the greater Divine Powers as a way of learning from each other?”

“There’s nothing wrong with having a hand in a fight against the Dragon of Chaos,” said the G.o.d of Light. The scene before Sui Xiong changed rapidly. This meant that he was being sent out of the Human G.o.d Kingdom, and the voice of the G.o.d of Light that was lingering in his ears went on to say, “As for the rest, it’s better not to ask for unneeded trouble.”
