A moment later, a great big troop of Oracles uproariously charged towards the formation of the Church of the God of Knowledge.

Watching this scene unfold, even Sui Xiong had to frown.

At that moment, the capability of every god system would be made apparent. The Human God System had a long history, so it knew various divine spells. For instance, a divine spell to open transportation portals to connect the mortal world to the God’s Kingdom and then another divine spell to enable Oracles to directly step over. To deliberate and thoroughly research these spells required a great deal of time, resources, and Divine Power.

Theoretically speaking, opening a transportation portal between the mortal world and a God’s Kingdom was not difficult. Sui Xiong had done so too, However, to limit the spell to take effect only within the “mortal” level, even if it was reduced to the level of legendary peak, that would still be extremely difficult.

The crux of the problem was that the power of mortals was too weak when compared to the power of gods. Such weak power would not be enough to support a temporary erection of a transportation portal.

Transboundary transportation was a very complex spell. The difficulty level of transportation to various places was different. Transportation to the World of Shadow was the easiest, and so long as one was at the level of a mid-ranked mage, it was achievable. On the other hand, transportation to a God’s Kingdom was considered the most difficult level. Even if it was to transport oneself over, generally, it would require a legendary mage to be able to perform such a spell. As for erecting a stable transportation portal between God’s Kingdom and the mortal world, even if it was only temporarily, it was still not something an ordinary legendary master could possibly achieve.

To reduce the difficulty level of this spell, not only must there be a corresponding transportation portal erected within the God’s Kingdom, there must also be research conducted to specially devise a spell relative to this transportation portal—this spell must have no other purpose, it must only be used to open a transportation portal within the mortal world to establish a connection with the God’s Kingdom.

Sui Xiong had the intention to study this spell and later found that the amount of time and energy required for it was simply astronomical. Eventually, he had to give up.

But the Human God System had long since completed a God’s Kingdom Transportation Spell that belonged to them. At that moment when they opened this transportation portal, their Oracles were able to walk out in an endless stream, and thus, there was a sudden reversal in the situation, and the tables were turned.

In the face of such a situation, Sui Xiong was really at a loss.

The method he had invented, which was to perform a ritual to offer a sacrifice through a formation to summon Oracles, was considerably simple and highly efficient. If not for the situation he was facing right now, his method could almost be invincible.

However, meeting such a situation where a transportation portal was erected and connected right to the God’s Kingdom to allow the Oracles to step through directly, using the method of a ritual to offer sacrifices through a formation to summon the Oracles was somewhat slow. It would not be able to keep up with the rate of consumption of the battle.

To resolve this problem, the simplest way was for Sui Xiong to intervene personally and to open another transportation portal that connected the mortal world to his God’s Kingdom.

Then what followed next would be nothing more than the fighting out between the Oracle troops of both sides. No matter how the Oracles of the various human gods fought, Sui Xiong had never felt that the battleship maidens that he had created with his own hands would lose.

But he could never do so because this was a war between the Church of the God of Knowledge and the Church of the God of Aristocracy. He could intervene indirectly, but to directly take a shot would constitute a breach of the rules. If he had done so, even if the Church of the God of Knowledge managed to win this battle, the God of Aristocracy would not willingly concede defeat. This would only serve to intensify the estranged relationship between both sides, and the situation would evolve into a tragic war of attrition.

If they were to fight a war of attrition, the Church of the God of Knowledge would lose for sure.

What should I do?

He saw how the Oracles from both sides were throwing attacks back and forth, but it was obvious that the God of Aristocracy’s side had the advantage because it had a greater number of people. Sui Xiong frowned as he fell into deep thought.

After a while, his eyes lit up. He had thought of a way.

Indeed, he could not intervene personally, but so long as he kept things obscured behind a pretty façade, it was not that difficult for him to find the chance to shoot an edge ball.

As time was of the essence, he headed for the treasure vault of the Sanctuary without further ado in search for suitable materials.

Very quickly, he found what he needed.

It was a golden-green piece of leather that came from an aged dragon at the demigod level. There was no trace of resentment on the leather, which was probably a piece that was skinned off a fallen limb after the dragon was injured, or it might be from the shedding of skin during molting—though there were not many dragons that shed skin, there were some that still existed after all. It was also possible that that aged dragon had wanted to regain its youth, so it underwent a body replacement… but none of this mattered. The important thing was, this piece of leather was sturdy enough for him to use to make what he wanted—a magic scroll.
