Chapter 869: Vol V Chapter 229
Sui Xiong did not know the God of Royalty, but Wenner did.
The background of this god was actually quite ordinary. He was originally someone who was sealed god during the early stage of the great development of mankind. Before him, the social system of mankind was not very different from that of the Orcs, where the tribes formed the core when regarding nation-building. It was he who initially formulated the kingdom and official system, which later developed into the aristocratic feudal system.
He was considered to be the first true “king” in human history, which explained why he was sealed god after his death to become the God of Royalty. At first, his divinity was not powerful. But as the kingdom system gained popularity, his strength grew stronger. Especially after the aristocracy feudal system was established, the kingdom system gradually penetrated the people’s hearts. There were many other worlds that soon adopted this system, let alone the Main Plane. His divinity was constantly on the rise. Ultimately, he even made it near to becoming a great Divine Power.
Unfortunately, just as he was about to become a great Divine Power, he was assassinated by the God of Aristocracy and the God of Conspiracy, who had conspired against him. Thus, he had fallen, and his priesthood was largely taken over by the God of Aristocracy. He was practically replaced by the God of Aristocracy.
Now, he had reappeared in the mortal world. Although he was merely a shadow, Wenner could still recognize him at a glance anyway.
Wenner introduced this god to Sui Xiong. Sui Xiong nodded slightly and asked, “So… is he considered to be the husband of the God of Aristocracy?”
“Far from being their husband. At that time, the God of Aristocracy was only one of his… Haha, you know what I mean. They have no status to speak of at all,” Wenner said. He thought for a moment, then finally came up with a nicer description. “Favorite belle, or something like that.”
Sui Xiong understood then. This was just the same as saying she was his “beloved concubine.”
He recalled what Professor Cheng had once said. Those “beloved concubines” in love novels might seem all high and mighty, yet in truth, their social status was nowhere higher than the slaves. They all belonged to the class of slaves that belonged to a master—the practice of “polygamy” never existed in ancient China. On the contrary, it was extremely firm in its orientation towards the “monogamy” system. So the wives were the masters of these concubines, and they had the authority to punish, or even expel these concubines at their disposal.
For the concubines, their masters’ favor was the one and only thing they could rely on. And at that time, for the God of Aristocracy, pleasing the God of Royalty with their beauty was basically what they had to do to ensure survival.
The God of Aristocracy was a proud and ambitious god. Of course, they would not willingly reconcile with being a plaything. So it was not surprising that they would choose to assassinate the God of Royalty and take his place.
To be honest, they did quite well as the God of Aristocracy. In just about 300 years or slightly more, they finally entered the ranks of great Divine Power. But Sui Xiong felt that… if the God of Aristocracy were allowed to go on like this, something would go wrong.
Something big would happen!
Now, that something big had happened.
The God of Royalty was about to be resurrected. What should the God of Aristocracy do?
At the thought of it, Sui Xiong found it a little amusing.
“This is going to be a big story!” he said. “I seriously didn’t think something like this would happen!”
“I think, I can almost guess the identity of that Holy Spirit,” Wenner said. He smiled and said with much confidence, “The divinity contained in this Holy Spirit is readily absorbed by the divinity of the God of Royalty, thus contributing to the resurrection of the God of Royalty. This also means that he’s most likely the Holy Spirit of the God of Royalty.”
“The Holy Spirit of the God of Royalty? Wasn’t the God of Royalty killed by the God of Aristocracy? If he still has a Holy Spirit, how could he have been killed?” Sui Xiong asked curiously.
Wenner shook his head and explained, “Holy Spirits can only take over the priesthood after the respective gods have fallen and become the next generation of gods. At that time, the God of Aristocracy had directly devoured the divinity of the God of Royalty. Though indigestion caused them to let out some of it, overall, there was no chance for the Holy Spirits of the God of Royalty to take over his priesthood. But after that, the Holy Spirits of the God of Royalty never re-appeared. I even thought they had been killed by the God of Aristocracy…”
“So I take it that… they have gone through all this trouble just to resurrect the God of Royalty?” Sui Xiong asked.
Wenner fell deep in thought. After a long, he frowned and said, “It should be like that by right. But… I keep having the feeling that something’s not quite right. There’s no clear and definite connection between these two events…”
Generally speaking, when the gods wanted to be resurrected, they would normally preach and restore the belief in themselves, build altars and restore their Divine Power, as well as to find suitable carriers. The practice of the God of Eagle was the best example of the most standard resurrection process.
But the situation of the God of Royalty was obviously different. If they were to talk about belief, his belief had probably completely usurped by the God of Aristocracy for the past three hundred years. If they had to talk about altars, under the situation where the God of Aristocracy had directly taken over his priesthoods, it was most unlikely that there would be an altar of his that could escape the sharp eyes of the God of Aristocracy. Most of these altars built for him would have been transformed into altars for the God of Aristocracy instead. Only the aspect pertaining to carriers was still relatively reliable. A Holy Spirit plus a physical body could possibly be considered as enough to satisfy the demands.
Just that, just relying on this condition for the resurrection, Sui Xiong felt that there was not much hope.
“The resurrection of gods… can also fail, right?” he asked subconsciously. Then he could not help laughing.
Of course, it could fail. There was no need to ask at all.
If it could not fail, what was he doing here? Waiting to see Leon transform into the God of Eagle?
“I’ve asked a stupid question. Don’t mind me.”
Wenner laughed and indicated that he would not mind.
After laughing, he said, “Generally speaking, the resurrection of gods is more likely to fail, the number of successful resurrections is in fact, very, very few. Out of ten times, there may not even necessarily be one or two successes. It’s mainly due to the exhaustion of belief, the lack of Divine Power and that good carriers are hard to find… Except for the gods who have prepared everything in advance and who have fallen a short time ago, it’s really difficult for the other gods to be brought back to like.
“For example, not long ago, there was a god taking over the priesthood of the God of Wine. There was once a God of Wine, but the present God of Wine is different from the previous one, so there is no way the previous one can be resurrected.”
Sui Xiong nodded. He had understood.
But he could not help thinking of another idea.
The God of Eagle was so well-prepared. All he lacked was a good carrier. The God of Royalty, on the contrary, was not prepared at all. The only thing worth affirmation was that he had a good carrier…
If these two were combined, would it not be perfect!
Thinking of this, he could not help but secretly ponder how he should help the two achieve a perfect union.
Of course, this perfect union that he wanted to carry out would definitely be sacrificing the God of Eagle for the God of Royalty. On the one hand, the incident where the God of Eagle schemed to attempt using Leon’s body for acquiring rebirth annoys him. He can’t help but want to viciously deal with that reckless fellow. On the other hand, he could make some trouble for the God of Aristocracy. Even if it was no great trouble, it would ultimately be something that would lift his spirits.
In that case, this matter would be happily decided as such!
Thinking about this, Sui Xiong began to slowly gather his Divine Power and readied himself for an attack.
He could take a gamble. If the current situation were to continue developing in this manner, both resurrections of the God of Royalty and the God of Eagle were bound to fail. So he needed to lend a helping hand to the God of Royalty in dire moments while taking the chance to pull the God of Eagle down.
It was not that easy if all of this was to be done artlessly and beautifully…
