To be honest, when Yorgaardman suddenly attacked, Sui Xiong was extremely nervous.
At the most urgent moment, he was even thinking of how to escape.
His older brother was powerful, so he would have been able to escape, even if he couldn’t win. However, Sui Xiong was so weak that he couldn’t fight against so many Gods. Especially since the Great Divine Power, Goddess Gaia, was there, too. Moreover, Goddess Gaia’s best friend, the God of Sky, was also a Great Divine Power who was ready to attack at any time.
Holy crap! If he fought with them, he would be made directly into a jellyfish dish!
However, the God of Justice was so powerful and mighty that he really controlled everyone’s attention!
When Goddess Gaia gradually disappeared with a gloomy expression, and the other Gods also left as if their parents had died, Sui Xiong was very cheerful, excited, and disordered. At that moment, he just wanted to sing a song for his older brother that was similar to the background music played when heroes won a final fight, or a song for the running Gods.
In fact, he did play a song.
“It’s a good tune.” Yorgaardman came back when the music started, and he patted Sui Xiong on his shoulder. Smiling, he said, “I like it!”
Also smiling, Sui Xiong answered, “In the future, whenever you’re going to hit someone, just play a song like this.”
“Forget that, but it’s okay to play a song like this once in a while.” The God of Justice was humble at that moment and had lost all the aggression he had just shown.
Sui Xiong was trying to talk about what he had just done, but he suddenly recalled an important point. Therefore, he asked anxiously, “My brother, the Goddess of Bumper Harvest is dead, and the Priesthood of Harvest is smashed. Will there be famine in the human world?”
“You’re overthinking it. The God of Bumper Harvest and the Priesthood of Harvest can only collect the belief of harvest in the world so that they can promote it. But even if they don’t exist, days will go on all the same,” the God of Justice answered, laughing. “Believing in a God is just a side gig. It’s good to have it, but it’s almost the same without it. There wasn’t a God of Bumper Harvest in the world before Moritre became a God, and famine didn’t happen every year at that time.”
Sui Xiong nodded, finally relieved.
At this time, he noticed that in the God’s Kingdom of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest, the devils had completely killed all the Oracles and began to dismantle the God’s Kingdom itself.
The God’s Kingdom was essentially the condensation of Divine Power, in which every blade of grass and tree contained Divine Power. In other words, the God’s Kingdom was the real existence of a God. As long as the God’s Kingdom wasn’t destroyed, the God would not actually fall.
The Goddess of Bumper Harvest had been shot by the God of Marsh, and although she had been badly injured, she hadn’t been killed. However, in order to retaliate, she had detonated the core of her God’s Kingdom before she had fled. As a result, she had fallen and couldn’t even be resurrected.
Of course, even if she was resurrected, it wouldn’t be pretty.
She would come back to life among a group of devils, and she would be temporarily weak for a period of time after the resurrection. Sui Xiong thought for a while, and he thought that it seemed better to simply die, lest any disharmonious things happen.
Now that the Goddess of Bumper Harvest was completely dead, and even the clergy crystal of harvest had been crushed with an axe by the God of Justice, the God’s Kingdom that was controlled by the Dragon of Chaos naturally had no owner, making it a trophy for devils.
What they were doing was dividing up the spoils of the war.
If the whole God’s Kingdom of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest was dismantled and transformed into Divine Power, how much would there be?
Sui Xiong tried estimating it, then he found that his math wasn’t good enough. It was inconvenient to calculate such a large number, so he had to stop.
The God’s Kingdom of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest was dismantled bit by bit. From the most central part, which had the highest core value, it broke apart into fragments. Then the devils transformed them into pure Divine Power and swallowed it up. Looking at this, Sui Xiong suddenly felt a little sad.
Although the relationship between him and the Goddess of Bumper Harvest had not been good, and even could have been called hostile, it wasn’t pleasant to see this scene. Her God’s Kingdom, which she had worked hard on for thousands of years, was completely destroyed after her death.
A poem says that relatives feel sad for their family’s deaths, and others also sigh for their deaths, but death isn’t something serious. They’re just buried in the mountains. If humans die, they can be buried in the mountains. However, in this world, when Gods fall, they can’t have a tomb. Even their hard-working business will eventually be completely destroyed and become Divine Power for others to enjoy.
He sighed deeply, thinking about the believers of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest whom he had saved.
They had been lucky to escape the tragic end of their God’s Kingdom, but they had also been eroded by the power of the Dragon of Chaos. If he wanted to cure them, he would expend infinite time and energy.
Suddenly, Sui Xiong remembered one thing. After thinking for a while, he flew into the God’s Kingdom of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest.
“You guys,” he yelled. “My name is Oscar, and I’m called the Void Mask. I want to make a deal with you.”
The devils who were busy dividing up the spoils stopped, looking at him together.
“Haha, what’s the deal?” the Dragon of Chaos asked with an old voice, smiling.
“I want to buy the buildings and the furniture from the residential area of the ordinary believers that were in this God’s Kingdom,” Sui Xiong said. “You know, I saved many believers. They’re all souls, so they can’t live in the human world anymore. I have to arrange houses and other things for them. There are ready-made houses and furniture here, and they’re actually the ones they used, so I want to buy them at the original prices. You’ll save the trouble of tearing down the houses, and I’ll save the trouble of building houses on my own.”
The devils looked at each other, feeling weird.
To be honest, although the God’s Kingdom of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest was very large, valuable parts were few. The concentration of the Divine Power condensed in different parts were different, so the places with a high concentration of Divine Power naturally had higher value, and the places with a low concentration of Divine Power had much lower value.
The core of the God’s Kingdom was naturally the most valuable. The second most valuable places were the barriers of the God’s Kingdom, the huge magic array throughout the whole God’s Kingdom, the training grounds for the cultivation of Oracles, and similar places. The least valuable place was the residential area of ordinary believers.
The ordinary believers could offer the power of faith through prayers, which had been their only value to the Goddess of Bumper Harvest. She hadn’t lacked the power of faith, so she hadn’t paid much attention to the ordinary believers. Therefore, the residential area had seemed to be flourishing in appearance, but in fact, it had been quite rough, with some parts that didn’t even contain Divine Power. Therefore, in the eyes of the devils, they had very little value.
They couldn’t gain much Divine Power from pulling down these buildings, but they had to deal with the garbage. That was horrible!
However, when Sui Xiong proposed buying the buildings and the furniture inside, they became suspicious.
The Jellyfish God is powerful, and he doesn’t look like a fool. He’s going to buy those worthless things, so could there be any treasures hidden in them?
To be honest, greed was an unavoidable sin of all living creatures. There were few exceptions, from the great Gods down to the mad devils.
It wasn’t surprising that one would do something foolish once greed dominated their mind.
Therefore, although they knew it was a very profitable deal, the devils still looked at each other, and nobody wanted to agree.
Seeing that they were suddenly beginning to hesitate, Sui Xiong frowned. He asked, “What’s wrong? You don’t want to sell them?”
“We want to sell them… but the prices…”
“Damn the prices! What if there’s something good in there?”
“There won’t be any good things in the residential area where the ordinary believers lived.”
“You promise?”
“Why should I promise you?”
“Then don’t talk nonsense!”
“Kid, you’re too arrogant! Believe it or not, I could beat you tomorrow!”
“Tomorrow? I’ll beat you up now!”
Watching the devils quarreling and starting to argue, the three faces of the Dragon of Chaos all had angry looks. He shouted angrily, “Shut up!”
This supreme devil was still very dignified, so his simple words quieted the noisy devils. Then he turned his head to Sui Xiong. After thinking for a moment, he said, “That area is nothing, I’ll just give them to you.”
“Boss! That’s a loss! We shouldn’t make such a deal!”
“Yes, it’s a loss!”
The devils persuaded him one after another, but the Dragon of Chaos calmed them down just by turning around and glancing at them.
He looked at Sui Xiong again, smiling, and said kindly, “If I remember correctly… you’re the brother of Yorgaardman, the God of Justice, aren’t you?”
Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, and he didn’t understand what he meant, but he still nodded.
“Just now, your older brother asked me for a favor in order to save the Goddess of Bumper Harvest,” the Dragon of Chaos said slowly. “Unfortunately, the Goddess of Bumper Harvest is still dead after all, and the value of this favor has greatly diminished. I’m old, and I don’t care for Divine Power or treasures. I like to sell favors to others, so I think… you can take whatever you want in the God’s Kingdom, as long as you owe me one.”
Now, it was Sui Xiong’s turn to make a difficult decision.
The Dragon of Chaos had sounded polite at first, but it was harsh when he thought about it carefully.
What debt was the hardest to pay? A debt of favor.
It was all right to owe ordinary people, but such an extremely strong Ancient Master Evil God like the Dragon of Chaos, should he owe him a favor?
Sui Xiong knew that his abilities were limited, and he wasn’t strong enough. He didn’t have the same will as his elder brother. He couldn’t afford to owe a favor to the supreme devil, and he couldn’t return the favor of an inimitable strongman.
He hesitated for a while and at last, sighed deeply. He honestly said, “I can’t afford to owe you a favor. Forget it.”
After that, he turned around regretfully and was about to leave. However, he heard the laughter of the old Dragon of Chaos.
“Then you don’t need to owe me a favor. After all, it’s still something of little value, I’ll give it to you.”
After that, the whole God’s Kingdom shook slightly, and all the buildings in the residential area, along with the furniture inside, flew up, merged into a stream of light, and landed in front of Sui Xiong.
At first glance, it looked like a mess of mud. However, if he looked at it carefully, he could see all kinds of things lying in order. In fact, it wasn’t messy at all. With a little effort and energy, he could recover everything completely.
To be able to do such a thing casually, the Dragon of Chaos was indeed powerful. He was a matchless creature who had even defeated the God of Justice!
Sui Xiong hesitated for a moment, and took the “mess.” He turned to the Dragon of Chaos and expressed his thanks to him.
“Thank you very much!”
“You’re welcome.” The three faces of the Dragon of Chaos laughed together, and then he said, “If you really want to thank me, let me have a chance to sell you a favor. Own up to your true self as soon as possible.”
