Chapter 739 (1/2)

“I really don’t understand why you want your followers to fight the followers of the Goddess of Wealth,” the God of Diplomacy asked. They were in a pavilion next to the terrifying black pool that could ablate Divine Power, hidden deep in the God’s Kingdom of the human gods.

In the middle of the black pool, the place where the God of Diplomacy sat had turned into a thin piece of ice. He himself was sealed within the solid piece of ice. Golden Divine Power was seeping out from the ice in a continuous stream where it was ablated by the black pool, becoming a grayish-white vapor.

Amidst the vapor, a slow voice said, “This is… purifying… belief… necessary.”

“Purifying belief? Hasn’t your belief already been greatly purified?

“Not enough.”

“This is still not enough?” asked the God of Diplomacy as he looked at that black pool. The pitch-black water that looked like ink had clearly dropped significantly.

This was magic water made using advanced devils as its raw material. It was refined via a complex technological process that consumed a large number of resources and could effectively ablate the impure Divine Power that had accumulated on the gods’ bodies. This would prepare them well for the impact of becoming a Great Divine Power.

No one knew how much time and effort was put into creating this pool. Back then, there was even a god from the Human God System who had lost his life in the abyss…

But all this was worth it.

Whether it was the God of Protection and the God of Heroes of the past, or even the God of Aristocracy of the present, they had all relied on this pool of magic water to purify their Divine Power. This would allow them to once again, activate the divinity that had been kept confined by belief. This would greatly increase the possibility of them becoming Great Divine Powers.

Why were the gods of the Human God System able to achieve success on several occasions to become Great Divine Powers, even when they were in a situation where they clearly had not accumulated enough power? This had always been a huge mystery. And the answer to this mystery was this pool of magic water.

Not only that, but previously, the God of Light had also depended on its help to sever all relations with the Mother of Sea. He was thus able to obtain complete freedom, and with a single strike, he killed the Mother of Sea in one fell swoop.

The other gods might not be aware, but the God of Diplomacy was his confidant, so of course, he would know. For a long time, the existence of the Mother of Sea had been the God of Light’s greatest worry. This creator of humans had an absolute superiority over mankind, though she was not very powerful in her own right. She had always been a lackadaisical character who did nothing at all, but if she decided to turn her back on them one fine day, even if it was not utter destruction to mankind, at least a good half of the Human God System would have been finished off.

To the Human God System, which had so many enemies like the uncountable clouds in the sky, this was no different from death.

It was precisely this reason that the God of Light had wanted to find a way to kill the Mother of Sea. Eventually, he succeeded and killed the most dangerous existence for mankind.

This was undoubtedly an evil act of aggression, but that did not matter to the God of Light. The God of Diplomacy did not think much of it too.

Even if it was an evil thing to do, did it really matter if one had to kill for the sake of survival?

Very few gods knew of this plan. Other than the God of Light and the God of Diplomacy, there was only the God of Knights and the God of Aristocracy who knew. The God of Knights was a first-generation God King of the Human God System. He was also the founder of the Human God System. There was no bypassing him if anyone wanted to accomplish a great deed. As for the God of Aristocracy… the God of Diplomacy looked at the bewitching god sealed within the ice and sighed inwardly.

His Majesty has given the clear-cut order that if there comes a day where he meets with misfortune, the seat of the God King of the Human God System will be inherited by them. However, can the God of Aristocracy really lead and support the entire Human God System?

He had little confidence.
