Chapter 811 (1/2)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
There was a saying on Earth that went “so long as the law did not forbid, anything could be done.” That meant that so long as the law did not explicitly proclaim in writing that something was prohibited, then that thing could always be done.
Of course, this did not mean that there was no danger. For example, climbing to the top of a skyscraper and dancing along the edge of its outer walls; for example, performing a high-wire stunt holding only a bamboo pole and without any safety rope; for example, going to some peaceful religious lands that flaunted no other forms of civilization other than scriptures to protect the rights and interests of women and children… the last kind was indeed most admirable. But its death rate was much higher than the former two. It was said that every year, the true feminists had to sacrifice a double-digit number of lives for this cause. Such a heroic act was truly something so touching yet tragic.
However, everyone knew that the fundamental reason those people died was that they were not strong enough. For example, people who fell to their deaths while playing extreme sports naturally would not die if they had tough bodies that could neither be smashed or broken. As for people who were beheaded by peaceful religions or smashed to death by stones, if they had millions of soldiers with guns behind them that were prepared to shoot anytime, they could even rear pigs in temples without any problems… Well, anyone unafraid of future annihilation could always give it a shot.
But Sui Xiong need not worry about these. He was strong enough. He was so strong that so long as the Master of Order did not seek trouble with him, it would be difficult for him to die even if he himself was seeking his own death.
Now, the Master of Order indicated his attitude with a silence that could not be any clearer than it was. So Sui Xiong immediately cast all his concerns aside and began working hard to do a great job.
He further enlarged his already large body. Although this greatly increased the consumption of his Divine Power, it also greatly increased the efficiency of water intake. The frenzied manner that he was drawing water created a new surge of ocean currents in the great sea on the north of the Main Plane. The drought in the mortal world was rapidly alleviated by the continuous fall of water fog and gradually regained calmness.
The scene left all the gods wide-eyed and dumbfounded. Many gods tried to follow his method, only to find that it was simply impossible to accomplish what he did—his method, in fact, did not require a great consumption. But the “start-up capital” could be so demanding that it required at least a mid-level Divine Power to achieve something like this.
However, as they were under the influence of the Main Plane enchantment, the gods simply did not have the guts to descend as such powerful clones. So naturally, there was no way they could follow Sui Xiong’s methodology.
Only he was capable of such a feat. This skill was unique to him; it was all his to claim.
Although the other gods could not help him directly, they knew that his consumption was massive, so they were quick to bestow upon him a great deal of Divine Power. No matter how Sui Xiong expressed that his consumption was not as much as what they imagined it to be, the other gods remained unmoved. The gods all gave him a little bit of Divine Power. So unknowingly, Sui Xiong realized that not only did he not consume a great amount of Divine Power because he had to handle disaster relief. He had, on the contrary, earned a lot more than what was consumed.
A single god alone would not actually be able to give him much Divine Power. Other than the few great Divine Powers like the God of Light and the Sky Devourer Canine, the Divine Power given to him by the ordinary gods would probably be enough to last him a day or two. But the number of gods who could not refrain from giving him Divine Power was overwhelming. There were more than 400 gods in total. Among them were gods from different races on the Main Plane, gods who had their own parishes on the Main Plane, and also some good gods who came to render him support purely due to philosophical reasons.
In fact, if Sui Xiong had not insisted on not accepting too many gifts, the Divine Power that he received would be far greater than what he had gained.
“Why would I want so much Divine Power?” Sui Xiong said when Yorgaardman was having a casual chat with him about this matter. He smiled and said, “As far as I’m concerned, I’m good with just enough Divine Power to use. Anyway, I don’t have anything special to use it for.”
To this, the God of Justice was agreeable. He was one of the few good goods who did not give any Divine Power to Sui Xiong. And it was not because he was being stingy or any reason along this line, but because he truly did not have so much Divine Power to spare.
As one of the best masters among the great Divine Powers, Yorgaardman’s deity level was very high. His divinity was very strong as well, but only his Divine Power… was simply too average.
