Chapter 394 Justice Needs No Impurities
Before transmigrating, Xi Wei had read a random magazine, saying that before death, male animals would get an erection or even ejaculate ferociously out of their instincts to procreate. Now, although it was questionable whether Xi Wei was male, he was definitely getting an erection—to be precise, the tentacles he put on for the convenience of creating items were getting hard.
Still, it was not to ejaculate since Xi Wei doesn’t have that function right now. While installing that function was just a matter of thought, now was clearly not the time.
As a matter of fact, he was ready to transmigrate. If the Earthweaver made a move, he would flee with the Great Lion in tow.
Out of considerations for safety, he certainly couldn’t bring the Great Lion along to the mortal realm. Nonetheless, his Transmigration Authority not only allowed him to cross the barrier between the divine realm and the mortal realm, but also to other planes, using them as a stepping stone as they returned to the Divine Kingdom fragment that the Invisible Pantheon used. After that, both him and the Great Lion would return to their respective Divine Kingdoms, and whether the Earthweaver would beat them into a pulp depends entirely on their luck.
And at the moment, the skies of the broken divine kingdom were disintegrating into endless dust by the divine power of the Earthwaver, revealing his true face to Xi Wei’s eyes.
To his comprehension, that was a mountain.
It sounded weird, but that was definitely the case.
That which had appeared beyond the Divine Kingdom and hovered in the void was a valley of mountains stretching forth majestically. Clouds and fog surrounded it and obscured its full form, but one could still make it out clearly through the shadows. The main peak also stood far taller than the other summits, and it was now aimed true at Xi Wei’s direction, with its frightening divine power embodying the force of a typhoon laying waste to the crumbling Divine Kingdom fragment.
“Feast your eyes! This is the God of Gods, one of the seven Divine Fathers, the Ruler of the Ground and the Lord of all Earthen Gods! His Holiness, the Earthweaver!”
The Lord of the Peaks exclaimed proudly. “Your lives may be spared if you admit your wrongdoing now, or you shall fall here!” So, it’s come to this.
In the split second that he sensed that the surging divine power had changed its path, Xi Wei had discreetly charged his Transmigration Authority.
And yet.
The profound divine power landed not on Aslan and Xi Wei’s position, but locked on to the Lord of the Peaks instead.
“Your Holiness?!”
If the Lord of the Peaks did not have a stone face, he must look shocked. “H-hold on, it’s me, the Lord of the Peaks! Your sub-“
“You have overstepped your boundaries.”
The mountain spoke.
His voice was not the same as your typical deity, but an echo amidst the mountains: layered, ethereal and yet immeasurably solemn and majestic.
It was precisely because of the folds of echoes that Xi Wei could not tell whether the Earthweaver’s voice was male, female, old or young. All he could tell that it was all of those yet none of those.
“No, it’s that ball! It clearly broke the rules…” The Lord of the Peaks twisted his body, seemingly intent on escaping the pincer hold of the Earthweaver with his own divine power, but it was clearly futile.
“Though it has been a long time since I’ve last looked down upon the mortal realm, did you think you could cloud my eyes with that level of deceit, Peaks?”.
“Your Holiness…” Panic could now be heard in the Lord of the Peaks’ voice.
Xi Wei’s ball body flashed as he watched everything unfold before him in astonishment.
On the other hand, Aslan did not appear surprised at all even now, aside from being startled by the Earthweaver’s appearance just now.
“Gaaaaaaaaaah—!” Even before Xi Wei spoke to break the standoff, the Lord of the Peaks suddenly started screaming as rocks began to split out of his body and converged along a green radiance, becoming a ball of rock that was almost the same size as Xi Wei.
It was a fragment of the Lord of the Peaks’ divinity.
“As agreed, here is a third of Peaks’ divinity, with ten percent added as way of apology.”
The Earthweaver spoke with a rumble. “However, I shall warn you just this once, Aslan: do not try any tricks with my adjutants.”
Xi Wei, who had been shocked by Earthweaver’s move and was about to say something quickly held his tongue.
He looked in disbelief at Aslan the Great Lion, who was merely a mediator and had never been a part of Xi Wei’s wager against the Lord of the Peaks from beginning to end. However, the Earthweaver directly pinned the blame on Aslan, and the so-called tricks probably referred to how Xi Wei had modified the Elven Synchronized Intellect Nation (SIN) into the Sky Horizon so that it could take to the air without giving the hill-folk a chance to claim it.
Still, when Xi Wei thought that he should argue for Aslan who was made his scapegoat, he realized that the Great Lion wasn’t looking at himself but at the Earthweaver as he spoke, “I have no intention to make enemies of all Earthen Gods either. The truth is that the one who came looking for trouble is that sub-deity of yours.”
The Earthweaver did not say anything else, and merely thickened the divine power around the Divine Kingdom fragment. However, just when it was powerful enough that Xi Wei thought that the Earthweaver would directly crush both him and Aslan, the Earthweaver withdrew it.
Soon, the Earthweaver and the Lord of the Peaks vanished within the cloud and fog, which was in turn consumed by the Void. Only the crumbling Divine Kingdom fragment was left, along with one lion and one ball.
“Aslan, did you know all along that the Earthweaver wouldn’t attack us?” Xi Wei asked the lion in curiosity.
Aslan, however, answered with a question of his own. “Did you know why, of the Seven Divine Fathers, only the Earthweaver and Magic Violet do not have names?”
“Uh… because they don’t like their name? Or maybe most people don’t dare to say their name directly?” Xi Wei guessed, while considering if he should have his own believers call the Earthwaver the god of mysteries or whatnot…
“The reason is because they had offered their names in the last divine war, to take up an oath that they would never fight another divine war.” The Great Lion said meaningfully. “The true names of the gods are immeasurably precious and not something that tiny bits of divine power could compare too. Even if there is just the tiniest of possibility, he would never deliberately take any actions that could trigger another divine war—that is, unless you provoke him on purpose. When that happens, the other gods won’t say a word even if he flattens you.”
“I don’t quite get it…” Xi Wei scratched himself with his tentacle, and then turned towards the ball of rock hovering in the air. “So, want to split that?”
If Xi Wei had personally resolved the entire matter, he would never have split out even a piece of that divinity fragment. Still, the Great Lion did take the bullet for him this time and shoulder all the blame from the Earthen Gods, which was why he couldn’t bear to hog the whole divinity fragment of the Lord of the Peaks for himself.
“No need. Keep it for yourself.” The Great Lion licked his paw and started to groom his mane. “Justice needs no impurities, and if you could strengthen yourself, you would gain more of a say amongst the Invisible Pantheon.”
