Chapter 199: Invisible Pantheon (part Two) (2/2)

The last to arrive at the exchange was Gurus, God of the Hunt.

Aside from Scarlet—whose divine order was unknown, Aslan had explained that the other absent god was Flintman the Flamestealer. Since he was on the run from the God of Flame’s murderous pursuit, he probably didn’t have the time to join the exchange.

At first, Xi Wei had assumed the exchange between gods to be a little profound. He didn’t expect to find them chatting away about their respective churches like some ordinary citizens upon meeting each other, most of their topics having to do with ‘That believer of yours is not bad’, ‘Your believer is raw in skill but the talent is there’, ‘Let me have a look at that Chosen One you recently got’.

If he didn’t know better, someone would probably think that they were in the middle of a major offline meetup.

Eventually, Xi Wei couldn’t stop himself from speaking out.

“I say, can’t you guys have a little more theatricality for a change?”

“Theatricality?” The pure Silver Moon Goddess asked in curiosity.

“Style! Get it?”

Xi Wei leaped off his seat and connected his divine power to the abandoned divine kingdom. “Big lion, give me the control of this divine kingdom for a bit.”

Aslan did so without refuse, interestedly observing what Xi Wei was about to do.

The first thing he did was turn off the lights.

Having lights or not did not have much difference to the gods, but for some reason, the divine kingdom of most gods was eternally bright aside from Evil Gods and certain deities who had an affinity for darkness. Xi Wei was no different, but that was the divine kingdom he lived in and a matter of convenience—and this was a gathering of gods at the moment!

As masterminds controlling the world itself, how could the gods meet under sunlight?!

Then, he conjured a long rectangular table and seated everyone according to their ranking, with the Great Lion naturally taking the leader’s seat.

“Turn off your own light and sound effects too!” Xi Wei demanded.

The other gods were puzzled, but the Invisible Pantheon members present today were in a good mood and followed he instructions to turn off the divine light behind their heads and pocketed their radiant treasures, even dulling their luminous selves.

When that was all done, they realized that numbers and unusual symbols were now shining in front of them.

“Alright, now let us discuss the future of this world.” Xi Wei said in a deliberately deep voice while floating to his seat, having concealed his own light as well.

“But the future of the world has nothing to do with us,” Gurus said. “The path this world goes could not be controlled by our powers alone.”

Though the other gods found the new style fresh and that it felt better hiding in the dark and having only numbers or weird symbols representing themselves, all of them agreed with Gurus.

After all, there were no greater gods in the Invisible Pantheon alliance and they could hardly stand against the more powerful deities, let alone change the direction the world is going.

“That’s the past.” Although Xi Wei had put on this show partially out of personal eccentricity, he also intended to ascend his stature and authority. After all, his first impression was perplexing, and when his appearance is out in the open, a smooth ball was not going to be too persuasive.

And hiding in the darkness like he did now make his words much more powerful, adding an indescribable convincing sensation to it even though the other gods would have no idea what he was talking about—such was putting on a show at work!

“I believe everyone must have sensed that this world is changing, that there are gods who were no longer content like before… The times have changed! This is a crisis as undoubtedly as it is an opportunity, and there is only one thing that we, the Invisible Pantheon should do—seize this moment to stand above the vent of changing eras!”

Xi Wei spoke solemnly.

When the winds are strong enough, even pigs could fly if they could stand above a vent!
