Chapter 198: Invisible Pantheon (part One) (1/2)

Xi Wei was a shut-in even if he really didn’t want to admit it—the evidence was that he had only left his divine kingdom three times in a novel that’s almost two hundred chapters long.

In fact, he was staying in his own domain even during the first time he slew another god, biding his time and waiting for his target to come to him and get killed.

After judging his behavior, Xi Wei eventually yielded and admitted that he was a shut-in even after he had transmigrated to another world and became a god.

“But there is a reason I shut myself in my home. This is how I’m connected to my believers in spirit, to accept their devout prayers in every moment, help them when they’re in need and pave the way ahead for them!”

“And as long as I’m here in this divine kingdom, my believers would never stop. The Church of Games would never stop, and the path towards greater gods would keep extending!”

“So, you must understand, I’m staying inside my divine kingdom for my adorable believers!” Xi Wei declared generously. “It’s not because ‘I can be a shut-in therefore I am’, but because I have to be a shut-in! That’s the tragedy of being the God of Games, Aslan!”

Meanwhile, the Great Lion was wiping away the spit over his face and keeping impassive. “I mostly get what you’re saying, but that’s not a reason to refuse joining an exchange amongst the Invisible Pantheon.”

Aslan had come looking for Xi Wei not too long after he put the finishing touches to the new Holy Lancer class, asking him to be a part of the Invisible Pantheon’s meeting.

But Xi Wei, who had not met other gods (the contact with Luna was like a phone-call) aside from Aslan and was having a solo player complex naturally reacted with disgust and did not hesitate to refuse.

Still, the Great Lion Wasn’t giving up.

“Tsk.”

Xi Wei started rolling around in his divine kingdom, quietly using a physical protest against the exchange.

That being said, it was not as if he had social anxiety—he simply found it too much of a hassle.

Compared to the gods’ idle chatting and bootlicking, he would rather stay in his divine kingdom and entertain himself with the silly antics of the Players.

The life of the God of Games was truly so monotonous and boring.

“Even if I’m not concerned about formalities between us gods, aren’t you being impolite here?” Aslan said in annoyance.”

“You told me that the group is relaxed back when lured me to join the Invisible Pantheon, and had no compulsory activities!” Xi Wei did not hesitate to retort.

“That’s what I’m saying: this isn’t compulsory, but surely you have to meet your allies as a new member god, right?” Aslan sighed helplessly. “You should know after so many things had happened: one lone deity cannot solve the problem of their own church, but anything would be simpler if other gods that had the needed authority came to help. That’s the reason this alliance was formed in the first place.”

Xi Wei had nothing to offer against that.

It was true that he needed help from Stoff, God of Craftsmanship and Fine Wine during the Fishmen Island event, and he had also asked for a little aid from Luna, the Silver Moon Goddess just now.

And the reason he could ask them for help was mostly because they were allies of the Invisible Pantheon.
