Chapter 981: The Exchange (Part 3)

The God of Light did not really notice the suspicious gazes cast upon him by Sui Xiong and instead continued to speak . “Previously, I was always focused upon the humans’ idea of glory . It was simply too irresistible that even I fell prey to it for a long, long time . I even played on the idea of glory to discover the path towards great Divine Power and borrowed the glory of the humans to push myself into that level . In hindsight, that was rather rash . If I had been calmer or less indulgent, I definitely would not have done such a thing . Well, that’s a thing of the past now . Clearly, I was blinded with greed for glory in the past . ”

“Yes, that was indeed a dangerous move . Using a race’s destiny to cross into a higher level could easily diminish it and cause the race to weaken severely,” Sui Xiong said . “Even if they did not weaken, they would still be in debt or be lost; it’s hard to say . ”

“Destiny? That’s an interesting term to use here . Did you derive that term from luck? Well, what you said is true . This is why, in the past, the fairy race had also been glorious once . However, they’d rather the entire God System bring the race to complete the Great Migration and explore new worlds than walk down this path,” the God of Light shook his head . “They did succeed, but they left behind a huge number of old and sick members of their race . That diminished the worth of what they achieved greatly!”

“Ah? The fairies’ Great Migration… succeeded?”

“Yes, they succeeded . It is just that their brand new world was originally unable to take on too much strength in one go . They left behind their original bodies as well as those who had extra strength behind and used this energy to forcefully push the God of Art and Culture to reach the Divine Power level . They then fabricated the lie of how the Master of Mystery had single-handedly annihilated the entire Fairy God System… I have to admit, they really managed to successfully lie to many . Even for me, I only dug out the truth after I caught that liar and interrogated it out of him . ”

Sui Xiong finally understood the matters of the past and the truth between the fairy race and the Master of Mystery .



“Well, none of it mattered much as at that time, the Human God System was far more powerful than the Fairy God System, and so I could not care less,” the God of Light said . “The biggest issue faced by the fairies was that they did not have enough manpower, and thus their glory… or rather, in your terms, their destiny, was unable to maintain the efforts of pushing someone to the Divine Power level . If they had managed to, there definitely would have been severe repercussions in store for them . ”

“Just before he had died, the God of Conspiracy had mentioned that you rose to the great Divine Power level by riding on the destiny of the humans . This signaled to him the end of the reign of the humans rather than the start of it . Perhaps he had felt that the humans would face similar repercussions as the fairies and become extinct,” Sui Xiong said .

“He was wrong! The foundation of the human race is much stronger than that of the fairies . It can be used as a support, can resist many things, and is overall much steadier than that of the fairies . That is why I chose to walk down this road after getting the relevant information regarding the fairies from that liar, the Master of Mystery,” the God of Light said . “No matter what, this path seemed to bring about higher chances of success . ”

Sui Xiong nodded . The truth was that the God of Conspiracy’s final scheme had failed while the God of Light’s choice had been proven to be the right one . The humans, who had won over the allied troops of other races, did indeed have enough power to propel the God of Light to a higher level and still have many destinies left behind as well .

“At first, I assumed that becoming a great Divine Power would allow me the best view and allow me to understand this world’s deepest, darkest secrets, curing the emptiness in my heart,” the God of Light’s facial expressions changed and his tone became colder . “However, I did not expect that, even before I could fully adjust and stabilize myself in this world, before I could begin to uncover any secrets, before I could get a good look at the view, that enemies would follow close behind .



“Auscar, you… I really hate you!”


Sui Xiong was speechless as he felt that he was innocent in this case .

“Actually… I had no intention to discover the great Divine Power world…” Even though he knew it was useless, Sui Xiong still felt the urge to defend himself . “I am not the same as you, I do not feel empty, I do not need to find anything to fill any hole in my heart . I am fully satisfied and at peace with myself . ”

“This I know, which makes you all the more despicable!” the God of Light bellowed sternly . “I spent all my time, racked my brains and paid the price in order to somehow crawl up this ladder . In the end, even before I could enjoy it, I watched you wave your hands before my very eyes and simply step into this level . What’s worse is that you continue to be free and without any stress, you don’t even feel anything or any pain… I can’t take this lying down!”

The God of Light hated him because of his lack of pain? Sui Xiong felt extremely maligned and started believing further in the idea that the God of Light was going insane . This was no longer an issue of mere jealousy… it was crazy and ridiculous!



However, Sui Xiong did not speak his mind . He knew that if he were to utter those words, the God of Light would explode with rage, and their war would begin immediately . He had long prepared for this war but, as compared to it, he wanted to drag a bit of time in order to satisfy his own curiosity .

There’s a Chinese saying that stated that one could only die with no regrets if they knew all the truths . It was clear to Sui Xiong that at this very moment, satisfying his curiosity was more important to him than fighting a war of life and death!

In the end, the God of Light did not explode with rage . After scolding him with a few angry words, he slowly became calm again and continued speaking . “I was extremely shocked and felt like time was suddenly betraying me . That was why, although I did not have much confidence, I had no choice but to activate the scheme I had prepared and challenge the Master of Order . If I could win against him, I could steal his throne before you could cross into the great Divine Power level…”

“I still don’t understand . Why was it a necessity for you to challenge the Master of Order?” Sui Xiong asked .

The God of Light glanced at Sui Xiong as if he were an idiot . “If I did not defeat the old leader, how could I truly ever be a new leader? As a jellyfish, I’m afraid you simply cannot understand the nuances of human thought . ”

Sui Xiong felt the urge to tell the God of Light that he was a human himself . Furthermore, he had a much clearer brain and control of logic . However, he had no way to prove it and thus kept quiet .

“Actually, the fact that you went forward so relentlessly is to blame too . If not, I would have wanted to spend the next thousands of years preparing myself before I challenged the Master of Order,” the God of Light said unhappily . “Although I won in the end, it was simply too dangerous! I should have been able to win much more easily and steadily!”

Sui Xiong was speechless again . Although the evil version of the God of Light gave him heart palpitations and incited hate in him, this normal version of the God of Light was not quite right as well . Why was it that being stronger caused him stress, to the point where he had to challenge the Master of Order even before he himself had become a great Divine Power? Why did he feel that, after being strong, he had to find trouble for himself? Was it that he was someone who liked to stir up trouble or find fault with others constantly? It was simply ridiculous!

At this moment, Sui Xiong suddenly remembered a story that an old professor had shared with him back on Earth . As long as one was greedy, one would always be slightly deluded . This was especially so for those who had weak morals as they were the ones who were most likely to go a little insane . The most extreme examples would be the King of France, Charles (whether it was Charles the First, Second, Third or Tenth, Sui Xiong simply could not remember), as well as China’s Emperor Gaozong of Song . One of them had betrayed a hero of France, Jean, while the other had done the same to a hero of China, Yue Fei . If they had a chance to meet in hell, they would definitely have many common topics to speak about . That is, if they still had the mood to casually chat in the wake of all the punishments that were waiting for them in hell .

If the God of Light were to meet those two bastards, he would probably join in their conversation . As for Sui Xiong, a kind and warm person, he somewhat felt threatened by it all .
