Tracing back a thousand years was not an easy job even for a god. It was nothing serious if it was just to trace back to a fixed time and place, but what Sui Xiong had done was track his experience for a thousand years. That was something only possible for a powerful god like him. As for others, not to mention the mortals, even ordinary gods would be exhausted in the process.

Sui Xiong felt tired as well, so he decided to take a rest and wait for his spirit to recover before continuing to track his body.

Anyway, if his body was still somewhere in the sea, it had already been soaking in the water for a thousand years. It probably didn’t care about soaking for another two or three days.

If his body was no longer there, what would be the difference between tracking now and a few days later? If his body had been eaten by a fish or swept away by sea water, he didn’t know how long his tracking would take. Then, what did a few days’ rest matter?

Thus, Sui Xiong, who had originally planned to find his body as soon as possible, changed his mind and then leisurely returned to his God’s Kingdom. He laid on his stomach on the table in the hall again, making his body soft and relaxed. “Oh, I’m so tired. I have to rest for a while.”

By the way, Javier had named this wonderful gesture as the Jellyfish Crouch.

Coincidentally, when Sui Xiong laid down to rest and thought about Javier naming that gesture, Javier came to visit him.

“Talk of the devil and he shall come! I just thought of you in my mind, and you came! You are much faster than the devil!”

“What?”

“Nothing.” Sui Xiong put the proverb from the earth aside and asked with a smile, “What’s the big deal that you’re looking for me this time?”

Javier was surprised at that and asked with confusion, “I haven’t said anything. How did you know that?”

He frowned and said to himself, Did anyone tell him about that? That’s impossible. I didn’t even mention it to anybody before. Even if someone found clues about what I was going to do and make a guess, they wouldn’t come and tell him…

“You’re overthinking now,” Sui Xiong floated up from the table and said with a smile. “I just guessed this casually.”

“Guessed it casually?” Javier did not underestimate that answer. He thought about it carefully and smiled.

After a while, he said happily, “That may be a good thing. Premonition is a common ability and phenomenon, but being able to apply it to a god like me means that your divinity is above mine, much higher than mine.”

“But why are you so happy?” Sui Xiong asked. “I have been more powerful than you in fighting since before too.”

“It has nothing to do with whether you can fight or not. Higher divinity always means the upper limit of divinity that can be reached. I am now a god with a higher divinity as a weak Divine Power, and the fact that your divinity is much higher than mine proves that you can become at least a mid-level Divine Power with a relatively high divinity.”

Sui Xiong still didn’t understand what was so good about that. At present, not to mention the mid-level Divine Powers, even in the face of great Divine Powers, Sui Xiong was not scared at all. What on earth was it worth to be happy about being just a mid-level Divine Power?

Sui Xiong spoke out his doubts frankly, and Javier became very distressed and did not know how to explain it to him.

After thinking about it for a long time, Javier finally said, “We all know that you’re good at fighting. In terms of power, you might have reached the level of a great Divine Power, and you might even be one of the most powerful among them. But being powerful doesn’t mean that you have a respectable status.”

“Doesn’t power represent one’s status?” Sui Xiong asked.

“Yes, it does, but status is not just about power. It is much more than that.” Javier had sorted out his ideas in a short time and explained. “It is not enough to prove one’s high status by power alone.”

“What else does it need?”

“Deity,” Javier said. “Another proof of status is deity. If you are powerful enough but without a high deity, your friends and enemies could respect you, but the gods who have nothing to do with you might treat you as an upstart. Only when you are powerful enough and have a high deity can it convince all the people to respect you.”

Sui Xiong then understood that and couldn’t help but sneer. “Those weak and nameless gods, I don’t care if they are really convinced or not. If they think they are more powerful, they can come and challenge me. I’ll wait here!”

Javier sighed deeply, feeling that sometimes it was really hard for him, a well-educated people, to find a common language with this violent jellyfish.
