Another one to two months passed, and soon, it was winter.
In theory, due to the freezing nature of winter and the lack of evaporation, the drought crisis ought to resolve itself. However, in reality, it wasn’t so.
According to the God of Drought, in the previous 100 years, the overall trend was that there was always more rain than drought, meaning that there were lots of drought instances “conserved.” Now, especially as he was the sole god left, these drought instances exploded out all at one go due to the over accumulation of them. To settle this issue, the God of Rain had to take action… but he had already fallen. One could say that unless there was a new God of Rain that appeared in a timely fashion, this big drought situation would persist and worsen.
“How urgent is the situation now?” Sui Xiong asked.
“A new God of Rain needs to appear in… about one to two months,” Javier replied.
“That’s too short a time period! This plan is ridiculous! What do you want to do, go out and capture a wild the God of Rain back?” Sui Xiong was enraged.
As he mentioned, such a notion was simply ridiculous.
Before the investiture of a god could take place, one needed a period of training and an adjustment period to acclimatize to one’s new body conditions and finish building a God Kingdom. This time period was flexible, and those who took longer could possibly use tens or hundreds of years, while others only required a few months. Within this time, they were able to respond to disciples’ prayers and share magic, but they could not really expand on their priesthood. However, the drought situation was too urgent to wait for a new god. Human lives were at stake here!
Furthermore, currently, on the Main Plane, many living creatures were on the brink of extinction. Waiting a few more months would mean that they would disappear from existence forever.
If all the plants shriveled up and died and all the animals died of thirst, what would be the use of future rain?
As he considered this grave situation, Sui Xiong couldn’t help but sigh.
Usually, he was quick on his feet and could come up with good ideas quickly. Under such circumstances, though, he felt stuck and useless.
“What is the Master of Order thinking! This world is about to collapse, and he is still against the creation of rain… That’s just him being stubborn!” Sui Xiong complained.
“Well, he has his own way of thinking, and we can’t do anything about it. Many of the bigger gods have been trying to negotiate with him but to no avail.” Javier sighed.
“Hey! This is really terrible!”
“It is terrible, but what can we do? In the past, such a difficult situation has never taken place even if there have been other disasters that occurred. We can only hope that we manage to survive this somehow.”
Sui Xiong said nothing and sat in silence with a sullen expression on his face.
Hope? Hope was not enough to tide this world through the crisis. Was there really nothing else they could do but pray to stay alive? The more Sui Xiong thought in silence, the more his eyes clouded over with rage. There was also a thunderous expression on his face that scared Javier.
As an artist, Sui Xiong was a sensitive person and could be irrational when he was unhappy. In this case, who could even blame him given the situation?
After a while, Sui Xiong began to form a secret plan in his mind.
Even if one could not create rain or steal water from the Water Element Plane, he had other ploys in mind.
After Javier had left, he created a separate body entity to enter the Human Realm. This body entity swelled, and countless tentacles emerged.
