Chapter 811 (2/2)

He had no choice. His followers were too few, so he could only rely on the few priesthoods like “justice” or “courage” to obtain Divine Power from the World’s Origin. Also, he did not belong to the category of gods who were skilled in magic, so he could not obtain Divine Power by refining magic. A long time ago, when he was not as powerful as he was now, there were even a few evil gods who joined hands into forcing him into a war of attrition. That war almost cost him his life.

That was probably the most dangerous moment of his life. Fortunately, at the most critical moment, a troop of human gods came rushing and charging over. In a brief moment, they counter-attacked and killed the evil gods. Thus, Yorgaardman barely escaped death.

After the event, he went to express his gratitude. But he learned that the God of Light had known that those evil gods were plotting against him and was simply using him as bait. He was so mad that he threw away all notions of saying thank you altogether.

From Sui Xiong’s point of view, the God of Light probably did have the intention of making use of the God of Justice. But it was also an indisputable fact that the God of Light had saved the God of Justice at the most critical moment. If that was the case, why should the God of Justice be bothered about being used by his own brother?

It was just that… he had no intention of getting involved in this enmity between the two brothers. Sui Xiong truly could not figure out the baffling relationship between these two disciples of the God of Knights. They might seem like enemies at first glance, but more than once, they had stood on the same side or even helped each other on key issues. Sometimes, Sui Xiong would wonder. Between the two of them, was the contradiction due to a clash in ideas bigger? Or was the friendship due to having similar tastes and inclinations bigger?

He was never able to ascertain this.

At this time, the God of Glory was the one who gave Sui Xiong the most Divine Power. In terms of measure of component, this amount was even enough to create a mid-level Divine Power. And though the God of Justice was unable to provide him Divine Power, he was always standing by Sui Xiong’s side as his bodyguard. This allowed Sui Xiong to work with a peace of mind and without the fear of danger. It vaguely seemed like the two of them shared a tacit understanding, as though they had discussed beforehand.

Maybe… this was all arranged by the God of Knights?

Thinking of the God of Knights, Sui Xiong could not help recalling the scene where this senior god was annihilated.

At that time, though he did not witness the incident, he learned everything about it from the retellings of others thereafter. It was clear that the God of Knights had completely abandoned all his priesthoods, and his deity was lowered to the level of a god-to-be. But his Divine Power and divinity, on the contrary, skyrocketed to an inconceivable level. What on earth was happening?

Long ago, he once asked the God of Light about the God of Knights. At that time, the God of Light had told Sui Xiong that it would not be too late to wait till he had stepped into the realm of a mid-level Divine Power before considering these matters.

Now, though he was not officially sealed god, purely based on the degree of strength of his divinity and Divine Power, he was not the least inferior to any other great Divine Power. So, it was time for him to raise a question about it again…

In the midst of these rambling thoughts and considerations, the year’s autumn and winter passed.

All thanks to Sui Xiong, the Main Plane’s harvest for the year might be lacking, yet ultimately, it was not to the extent of reaping no harvest at all. Also, the vegetation and animals managed to survive the most difficult time. Though winter killed many people and animals, it did not bring about the direst consequences.

When spring came and all the snow had melted, the God of Drought, who had been playing dead for more than a year, finally brought good news to everyone.

The great drought that had swept through the entire Main Plane was coming to an end!
