Chapter 257: Chapter 127

The universe was made up of numerous worlds of different sizes . Between two worlds, there was endless Void Space . These worlds and the Void Space formed a large circle, in which the power of the world came from the Positive Plane, moved through the Matter Plane into the Negative Plane . It then left the Negative Plane, moved through the Spirit Plane and back to the Positive Plane . This cycle was called the Ring of the World .

The holy kingdom of each god was also an independent world which had been built according to different preferences and sources . These worlds were located everywhere in the Ring of the World with no recurring pattern . Of course, there were some basic rules . For example, in the Matter Plane, the Main Plane of the strongest world could not have any large holy kingdoms because the Main Plane itself boasted great power . It was difficult for gods to build a large world there . A small world might be possible . Another example was that it was impossible to build a holy kingdom in the central area of the four planes of the Ring of the World . If a holy kingdom was built there, it would have to withstand the super pure and strong source power, which was impossible for gods . The only exception had been the Wheel of Order in the center of the Positive Plane of the Ring of the World .

Thus it could be seen that the God of Order had been really powerful and generous . In fact, it had been impossible for most gods to enter the central area of the four planes, let alone build their holy kingdoms there . Among the current gods, there were very few of them who had been to the central area of the four planes . One such deity was the God of Justice . He had been to the Wheel of Order in the central area of the Positive Plane where he had challenged the God of Order . Although he had been quickly defeated by the God of Order, his entering into this area had been enough to prove his power .

The holy kingdom of the Orc gods was called the Endless Field . In it sat the Matter Plane of the Ring of the World, close to the Negative Plane . Starting from here, passing a relatively short distance in the Void Space and going through a few worlds, one could skip through the huge cycle and enter into the Negative Plane of the Ring of the World .

It was a long way from the Main Plane to getting there . Generally speaking, one had to rely on famous landmarks and make a few space jumps to arrive there quickly .

Instead of going that far, the avatar of Sui Xiong had made a giant space jump, directly arriving at the Endless Field .

His vision had been shaken fiercely for a long time . When the shaking stopped, he didn’t see the holy kingdom of the Desolation God System anymore, but rather, a larger world that even a god could not find its borders .

The holy kingdom of the Desolation God System had been a part of the Endless Field . Morani and others surely knew the exact coordinates of it since they had been living in the Endless Field for so long . Knowing that these two worlds had been in the same plane and had the exact same coordinates, Sui Xiong made this extraordinarily long-distance space jump possible .

Different from the holy kingdom of the Desolation God System, which Sui Xiong jokingly called the “circle of friends,” the Endless Field was amazingly vast . Floating in the sky, Sui Xiong gazed into the distance only to see the desolated Endless Field stretching out of his sight .

The field had been no different from that of the Main Plane, save for the higher mountains, the lusher grass, the abundant resources, and of course the fiercer devil monsters .

For example, Sui Xiong had been flying for a while in the direction given by Morani when a great wave surged in the miles-wide river on the ground . A monster looking like a fish with strong arms appeared from the wave, walked on the clouds, and fiercely rushed towards him .

This monster had been really powerful . If it went to the Main Plane, it would be a disastrous danger . But it was not powerful enough to Sui Xiong’s avatar . Considering that he was not here to make trouble, Sui Xiong didn’t kill this monster . He just knocked it down back to the river with his tentacles .

But as Sui Xiong continued, he kept meeting all kinds of monsters . They were all strange and evil looking, and none of them were willing to sit down and talk to him . Instead, they just attacked Sui Xiong with loud roars . Although Sui Xiong had been extraordinarily strong and repelled them one by one, he couldn’t help but be annoyed .

“Is this the holy kingdom of the Orc God System or the home of the monster troops!” he complained . “Morani is unreliable! How could he tell me nothing about the terrible situation here?”

“It’s not his fault,” came a calm voice beside him . Sui Xiong was scared by that and prepared all his tentacles to fight; then he looked over .

He froze at what he saw .

He didn’t know when a god, who looked like a man with a canine head, appeared next to him . This god was of great height and had a strong build . He was much more handsome than those short and weak Dogmen and looked elegant even with his canine head . Compared to average Orcs, it was only his linen robes and the hoe on his shoulder that had exposed who he was .

“Your Excellency is… the God of Agriculture from the Orc gods?” Sui Xiong made a guess .

In his impression, there had been no such god in the divine position of agriculture among the Orc gods . However, the Orc God System was so large that there had been many followers that had advanced to the level of a real god . But they only took trivial divine positions . Maybe this was one of those .

The Dogman god laughed and said, “I’m learning agriculture, but I haven’t taken the divine position yet . Your Majesty, Void Mask comes from afar, I was in such a hurry to welcome you that I forgot to change my clothes . I’m sorry . ”

With the glorious light floating around him, the god put on a brutal-looking leather armor and wore a bone crown on his head .

Sui Xiong immediately recognized him .

Isn’t he the Master God of the Orc God System, the “Sky Devourer Canine” Lefon!?

However, why did such a master god look like a farmer?

With a smile on his face, Lefon tapped the air with the hoe in his hand, and the scenery around them changed suddenly . They went to the middle of the Endless Field where there were mountains and rivers . However, the land between the mountains and the rivers had been cultivated . Countless Orcs, Semi-Orcs and even some powerful gods were farming there .

“What’s going on here?” Sui Xiong opened his eyes wide . “Morani told me that there were many nomads and soldiers and very few farmers in your holy kingdom . But why does it look like that there are all farmers here?”

“This is a test,” Lefon said . “I’m wondering if the Orcs can change their long-standing lifestyle into one where agriculture is the main focus, and animal breeding is subsidiary . ”

“You turned the entire Orc God System into this just because you were curious?” Sui Xiong was surprised at that . “Did the other gods agree with you?”

“Of course not!” It was not Lefon that gave this answer, but a strong man with an elephant head in the distance . This man, as tall as a three-storied building, bent his hoe in two and threw it on the ground . He stretched his hand behind him and took out a large battle axe .

“I want to challenge you!” he shouted to Lefon .

While saying that, the god with an elephant head rushed towards them with a roar . He was surely ranked high among the gods . Surrounded by his Divine Power, he grew taller and stronger with every step . When he rushed in front of Lefon and Sui Xiong , he had turned into a giant whose every step shook the mountains and the earth . Even Sui Xiong was secretly astonished .

Compared with this giant, Lefon was much smaller in size . However, he had never been frightened by the giant’s power . He just waved his hand, and a huge hand even larger than the giant in the air appeared . The large hand held the giant up in the sky and then dropped him to the ground heavily .

The powerful god was unable to stand up, and his body had changed back to how he looked before . It was weird that with such a heavy drop, there were no sounds or vibrations . Even the plants in the field were not damaged .

That made Sui Xiong quite impressed, and he couldn’t help but praise Lefon . He had a more intuitive understanding of this master god’s power .

“Minster has always been reckless and can’t keep calm . ” After throwing that powerful god on the ground and making him unable to get backup, Lefon turned to Sui Xiong with a smile and said, “As you can see, there are a lot of Orcs that disagree with me . However, they can’t beat me in a fight, so they have to till the land obediently . ”

Sui Xiong was stunned for a while and suddenly remembered something, so he asked, “So… did all the Orc Gods in the Pantheon temple disappear just for that?”

“Yes . They are forced to till the land here by me . ”

“You’re a tyrant!” the god with the elephant head shouted . Sui Xiong had known who he was; he was the God of Strength who had once overturned the chariot of a master god for having a different opinion than him . He was the Irritable Giant Elephant Minster .

“You have stained the great and glorious tradition of the Orcs!” Minster shouted again .

Lefon smiled unconcernedly; then he lifted his foot and kicked Minster .

“Idiot, do not try to use your brain that has been rusting away for thousands of years to try and guess my thoughts! You just have to do what I say,” Lefon said with a smile . “Go ahead and do your work!”

Minster could do nothing but curse and go back to farm . Lefon shrugged his shoulders and said to Sui Xiong , “Well, it’s almost like that . ”

Sui Xiong was puzzled and did not know what to say .

Before this trip, he had imagined what he would encounter . Sui Xiong thought that maybe the Orc gods would speak ill of him, or his avatar would be blown up in the Endless Field; maybe the Sky Devourer Canine would suppress him in the Endless Field and force him to join the Orc God system . If he remained faithful and refused to join them, he would be boiled into cold, jellyfish stew . All in all, he had expected only terrible things .

But he had never expected that he would see a group of farmers who were oppressed by their master god to plow fields .

This was definitely not the style of the Orcs!
