The temporary banquet hall of the Human God System was very lively. In it, the gods and the Holy Spirits came and went, and some outstanding humans who had been appreciated by the gods had been invited to this place far away from the mortal world.
However, if you looked carefully, you would find that the gods were deliberately keeping away from a corner, as if poisonous snakes and beasts were there. Of course, no poisonous snakes and beasts were there. Instead, there were a few gods sitting together eating hot pot.
Although the God of Light admired the “Sun God Hot Pot” and claimed it to be his masterpiece, the gods still had no appetite. They dared not to taste those strange ingredients, and so finally, few had the courage to share that delicacy with him.
Sui Xiong was one of the few.
To be honest, the taste of the Sun God Hot Pot was really good. The God of Light seemed to be a foodie, because the taste was just right. Even in the human world, at least as far as the taste of the soup, it was as good as those made by famous chefs.
Not only that, because the soup also contained strong divine power, every spoon made him feel that his strength had increased a little.
It seemed that there was not much soup in the pot, but in fact, there was a lot. They ate it for a long time but did not see the amount in the pot lessen. Sui Xiong asked out of curiosity and got to know that the pot was actually a projection of a small world. What everyone saw was the Sun God’s corpse soaking in the pot. In fact, it was soaking in a small world with one half of water and the other half of air. Therefore, the soup that everyone had eaten was taken directly from the small world.
Thus, the strong power of the God of Light showed up. If he hadn’t explained that, no one would be aware of it.
While he was amazed, Sui Xiong became more curious about another thing. The Sun God’s noumenon was a burning flame. If it was thrown into water, there would be only two results: either the water would evaporate, or it would be extinguished.
What on earth was the method that the God of Light used to prevent the water from being extinguished? Instead, the water boiled slightly with the just right temperature, stewing itself.
The God of Light said, smiling mysteriously, “I can’t answer this question. When you reach a certain realm in the future, you will naturally understand.”
Sui Xiong was so confused. He made a note to remember this and planned to ask Brother Yorgaardman when he saw him next.
After eating the soup, it was natural to eat the dishes prepared. The God of Light cut pieces off of the Sun God’s huge body, put them in some slightly boiling soup and handed them over to everyone.
“You should swallow the meat with the soup directly. It’ll taste better,” he said. “Don’t chew because it doesn’t feel nice in your mouth.”
Looking at the small flame sinking and rising in the soup in front of him, Sui Xiong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. After swallowing a gulp or two, Sui Xiong then took the bowl with gritted teeth and swallowed it all up with a grunt.
After swallowing, his stomach suddenly seemed to burn up inside.
But instead of a burning feeling, Sui Xiong just felt that the heat was constantly rising up, as well as countless inspirations about the light, the flame, and the sun rushing into his mind. This stunned him a little.
After the daze, Sui Xiong found that the surrounding area was empty—the banquet had already ended, and the guests had already left. Only the God of Light was sitting next to him, with an expression of slight admiration.
“You are awake?” he said after a nod. “You can understand so many things from just a small piece of the flesh and blood of the Sun God. You are so talented! It’s a pity that you are not a human,” he continued. “Otherwise, perhaps just in order to teach you, my teacher would not have made that decision…”
Sui Xiong was stunned and then curiously asked, “What on earth happened to His Majesty, the God of Knights in the past?”
