Tracing back a thousand years was not an easy job even for a god. It was nothing serious if it was just to trace back to a fixed time and place, but what Sui Xiong had done was track his experience for a thousand years. That was something only possible for a powerful god like him. As for others, not to mention the mortals, even ordinary gods would be exhausted in the process.
Sui Xiong felt tired as well, so he decided to take a rest and wait for his spirit to recover before continuing to track his body.
Anyway, if his body was still somewhere in the sea, it had already been soaking in the water for a thousand years. It probably didn’t care about soaking for another two or three days.
If his body was no longer there, what would be the difference between tracking now and a few days later? If his body had been eaten by a fish or swept away by sea water, he didn’t know how long his tracking would take. Then, what did a few days’ rest matter?
Thus, Sui Xiong, who had originally planned to find his body as soon as possible, changed his mind and then leisurely returned to his God’s Kingdom. He laid on his stomach on the table in the hall again, making his body soft and relaxed. “Oh, I’m so tired. I have to rest for a while.”
By the way, Javier had named this wonderful gesture as the Jellyfish Crouch.
Coincidentally, when Sui Xiong laid down to rest and thought about Javier naming that gesture, Javier came to visit him.
“Talk of the devil and he shall come! I just thought of you in my mind, and you came! You are much faster than the devil!”
“What?”
“Nothing.” Sui Xiong put the proverb from the earth aside and asked with a smile, “What’s the big deal that you’re looking for me this time?”
Javier was surprised at that and asked with confusion, “I haven’t said anything. How did you know that?”
He frowned and said to himself, Did anyone tell him about that? That’s impossible. I didn’t even mention it to anybody before. Even if someone found clues about what I was going to do and make a guess, they wouldn’t come and tell him…
“You’re overthinking now,” Sui Xiong floated up from the table and said with a smile. “I just guessed this casually.”
“Guessed it casually?” Javier did not underestimate that answer. He thought about it carefully and smiled.
After a while, he said happily, “That may be a good thing. Premonition is a common ability and phenomenon, but being able to apply it to a god like me means that your divinity is above mine, much higher than mine.”
“But why are you so happy?” Sui Xiong asked. “I have been more powerful than you in fighting since before too.”
“It has nothing to do with whether you can fight or not. Higher divinity always means the upper limit of divinity that can be reached. I am now a god with a higher divinity as a weak Divine Power, and the fact that your divinity is much higher than mine proves that you can become at least a mid-level Divine Power with a relatively high divinity.”
Sui Xiong still didn’t understand what was so good about that. At present, not to mention the mid-level Divine Powers, even in the face of great Divine Powers, Sui Xiong was not scared at all. What on earth was it worth to be happy about being just a mid-level Divine Power?
Sui Xiong spoke out his doubts frankly, and Javier became very distressed and did not know how to explain it to him.
After thinking about it for a long time, Javier finally said, “We all know that you’re good at fighting. In terms of power, you might have reached the level of a great Divine Power, and you might even be one of the most powerful among them. But being powerful doesn’t mean that you have a respectable status.”
“Doesn’t power represent one’s status?” Sui Xiong asked.
“Yes, it does, but status is not just about power. It is much more than that.” Javier had sorted out his ideas in a short time and explained. “It is not enough to prove one’s high status by power alone.”
“What else does it need?”
“Deity,” Javier said. “Another proof of status is deity. If you are powerful enough but without a high deity, your friends and enemies could respect you, but the gods who have nothing to do with you might treat you as an upstart. Only when you are powerful enough and have a high deity can it convince all the people to respect you.”
Sui Xiong then understood that and couldn’t help but sneer. “Those weak and nameless gods, I don’t care if they are really convinced or not. If they think they are more powerful, they can come and challenge me. I’ll wait here!”
Javier sighed deeply, feeling that sometimes it was really hard for him, a well-educated people, to find a common language with this violent jellyfish.
“Auscar, you are cultured and good-mannered all the time. But why are you so unreasonable on some issues?” he could not help but ask.
“Because it’s my principle,” Sui Xiong answered proudly. “The regime comes out of the barrel of a gun. If I have a gun, I surely can’t tolerant those guys who cling to old ideas.”
“What you’re talking about is… It’s too mean.”
“It’s nothing mean. It’s just my attitude.”
Javier sighed. Instead of tangling with Sui Xiong on this issue, he turned to business. He really had something to do here this time.
“I received your gift before, the God’s Kingdom that was sealed by magic, right? I chose a very reliable believer and helped him improve his power, and now he’s almost been able to become a god,” Javier said. “I plan to help him to become a god soon. By the way, I will sort out my beliefs and adjust my clergy. I’ve been the God of Celebration for too long, and it’s time for me to give this clergy to someone else. I plan to change my clergy to the God of Pleasure at this God Ceremony.”
Sui Xiong nodded, but then could not help but frown.
He remembered what had happened when the Goddess of Bumper Harvest promoted her god follower. She had made a lot of preparations for it, but it ended sadly. Not to mention the fact that she had failed to help her god follower become a god, she even died.
Javier was much less powerful than the Goddess of Bumper Harvest. Thus, wouldn’t it be more dangerous for him to promote his god follower?
Sui Xiong spoke of his worries frankly, but Javier just smiled and shook his head.
“With the sealed God’s Kingdom, there is little risk in promoting my god follower. Even if there is, it will not be me bearing it. At most, the God’s Kingdom will collapse, and all I’ll need to do is to save the soul of my believer,” he smiled and said. “I am not as good as you in fighting, but you can’t treat me as a god that can do nothing. It’s not so hard for me to deal with such a trifle.”
Sui Xiong asked worriedly, “But you still have to adjust your clergy.”
“It’s not so dangerous to adjust the clergy. I can hand over the clergy of Celebration to my Holy Spirit. It’s quite logical for the Holy Spirit to inherit the clergy. There’s no risk. The only risk is that I want to fight for the clergy of Pleasure. However, I’ve prepared a lot for it. Most importantly, that clergy has not been occupied by anyone, and there are even no gods who are intending to occupy it, so I don’t have to worry about dangerous competition for the clergy. As long as I manage to get through the period of weakness between losing the clergy of celebration and gaining the clergy of pleasure, there will basically be no problem.”
“What if you can’t make it?” Sui Xiong asked.
“Don’t look down on me like that. How can I not make it!” Javier didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. “Even a dog can survive that short period of weakness as long as no one comes to make trouble!”
A cold intent flashed in Sui Xiong’s eyes. “You came to me today because you are afraid that someone will make trouble with you?”
Javier nodded. That was why he was here.
For a god, the conversion of clergy was not dangerous in itself. The danger was in the period when the god lost his original clergy, and the new clergy was not available yet. During that period, his deity would temporarily fall down to the level of god-to-be, and he would fall into a state of weakness because of losing his clergy. If attacked at this time, he would probably die.
In the past years, more than one god had died like that.
Of course, there were those who were powerful beyond imagination, and even in a weak state, they still maintained great power in fighting. Not only did they survive the enemies’ attack, but they could also kill the enemies in a counter-attack.
Of course, such an amazingly powerful master was not someone like Javier, a civil servant who had just learned how to fight in recent years from Morani. With Javier’s current power, once he was attacked in the period of weakness, there would be only death waiting for him.
So he came to Sui Xiong for help. He hoped that Sui Xiong would act as his bodyguard to protect him from being killed while he was weak, and that could prevent others from taking advantage of his death.
“No problem!” After that, Sui Xiong clapped his body with his tentacles on the part that was probably his chest. He laughed and said, “Trust me!”
“At that time, I will guard the arena with my friends, and I will also talk to some powerful gods that have good relations with me in advance.” Sui Xiong thought about it shortly and began to list the names. “My brother is sure to help, and so is Manissy. Wenner said before that he treated me as his leader, but I haven’t asked for any help from him for years. If I ask him for help now, he surely will come. The three of them and I—there will be four great Divine Powers in total. As for the mid-level Divine Powers, I’m too lazy to count them one by one. I think there will be no problem in having seven or eight of them. There will also be some low-level and weak Divine Powers… Shit, I don’t know how many helpers I have until I list these names. I have a super gorgeous team!”
Javier certainly had thought about that before, so he just smiled at what Sui Xiong said.
“Hey, Javier, please be confident in us, okay?” Sui Xiong made a big grin. “There will be a lot of people acting as your bodyguards. With such a super-luxurious group of bodyguards, are you still afraid that someone will dare to come and make trouble with you?”
“There are no absolute things in the world. Maybe there will be someone fearless,” said Javier.
Sui Xiong sneered and turned his tentacles into hands. He rubbed his palms heavily. “If there really is someone that is so fearless of death, I would like to cut off his head to see if his brain is different from other people!”
