There was such an allusion on Earth that talked about how someone wanted to bribe their boss. The boss would say, “Someone else will find out about this matter. It is inappropriate.” This person would then persuade his boss, “On Earth, there will only be you and me who know about it, no one else will know.” The boss would then say with a sigh, “Heaven and Earth know, the gods and spirits know, you and I know, how can there be no one else who knows?”

Sui Xiong had little talent and limited knowledge, and he could not recall the exact content of this allusion. But that saying of, “Heaven and Earth know, the gods and spirits know, you and I know,” was quite interesting, so he could remember that part.

Actually, on Earth, such a saying could only be regarded as superstition. After all, on Earth, spirits, and gods within the heavens and earth were all illusionary things that were created from imagination. Yet, in this world, there were spirits in heaven and on earth, and both ghosts and gods had knowledge. All of these things were certainties without a doubt.

Take Sui Xiong for instance; as a god, he did have some marvelous perceptive skills. Regardless of where he was, so long as someone mentioned him or wanted to plot against him, he would be able to sense something.

If it was a god making the move, perhaps such a feeling could be masked, but regardless of whether it was the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs or the Mifata Federation, those in charge were merely mortals. As they were discussing the plan, Sui Xiong had already felt that vague sensation and knew that there were people from these two places who were plotting against him. The only thing was, he did not know the specific details nor did he know who they were.

However, none of that mattered. Just like how the God of Strategy, Augmentin, had discussed with him earlier on, regardless of who the culprits were, by then, he just had to find faults with these two countries and demand compensation.

He was the great Master Void Mask; would he even want to talk about “witness and evidence” with this group of monsters?

Evidence, your head! Whatever I said would be evidence! If there was anyone who didn’t believe so, I, the great Master, would pull out whatever I know about you, be it literary or military, then with my Divine Power, I would read your minds. Anyone of you could try your best to see if you could find any evidence!

However, by that time, the price of compensation could be…

This was the method that Augmentin had taught Sui Xiong back then. At that time, Sui Xiong observed that Augmentin would display three kinds of expressions. His face would express his anger, his ferocity and his overbearing arrogance that showed his disregard for things. From these expressions, Sui Xiong already knew that Augmentin had encountered such situations before or had watched such situations happening on several occasions.

Those from the War God System were belligerent and had fought countless wars. Of course, they also had innumerable experiences of taking advantages of others who were in a weaker position. Being an adviser of the War God System, it was natural for Augmentin to participate in events that took advantage of the weak. Even if he arrogantly self-proclaimed that his identity was too high and mighty to be handling the situation personally, he would certainly have learned enough from frequently watching these situations.

Sui Xiong was a modest and eager learner. Whilst learning from Augmentin, he often felt that he had not learned enough. He was always hoping for more opportunities for him to put to practice what he had learned, and through these practices, he would find his inadequacies so that he could work on raising his standard. Honestly speaking, this was the reason why he hoped that the masterminds from the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs and the Mifata Federation would not accede to provocation so quickly. Whether they chose to act dumb or to simply be in a daze, nothing mattered more than the time and opportunity to practice what he had learned.

If he had gone swinging over ostentatiously, causing the other party to succumb in fear the moment he spoke up, then even if it was an easily achieved task, he would always feel a sense of uncertainty. The feeling of “I have yet to show my power, how could you have fallen” would be bugging him constantly. He found this extremely disagreeable.

Besides, since he was going to take advantage of those in a weaker position, then of course, he should rip off as much as he could from them!

When he thought about it, he could not help but laugh to himself again.

Though this time, he only managed to laugh for a short while before he was disrupted by someone.

The uninvited guest was one of his followers, the God of Knowledge, Wall.

Wall was originally a swordsman who was extremely fierce. After studying for many years, his temperament gradually toned down and became more peaceful. However, there were still traces of his untamed nature. It was only until he earned the title of a god, where under the influence of priesthood and beliefs, the toughness and ferocity in him could finally be considered to have faded off. He gradually acquired the refined scholarly airs of a learned man. As of today, he donned a long robe and held onto scrolls, yet on his waist, he still wore his “Black Blade,” the blade that earned him his reputation back then. Now, on this very blade, there were no longer signs of murderous intentions. On the contrary, he seemed to be like any other ordinary scholar who roamed about leisurely, with their blades merely as an accessory.

However, at that very moment, he did not show any trace of leisure or relaxed temperament. On the contrary, he seemed to be flustered and fuming with anger.

“Your Majesty! How terrible!” He had yet to arrive before Sui Xiong, but he was already shouting, “You’ve been fooled!”

Sui Xiong was taken aback. Feeling puzzled, he asked, “What is this about?”

Wall asked, “A few days ago, weren’t you bestowed with some divine blood, which you have passed to the two Legendary Masters to brew and refine the wine of eternal life?”

Sui Xiong nodded. “Indeed, I have done as such.”

“Aye! There is a problem with that wine of eternal life!” Wall took in a deep breath; then he said, “No doubt it is able to give immortality to ordinary people, but that is, in fact, made possible only after it has stolen the divinity of gods. ”
