Chapter 813 (1/2)

Silence, dead silence.

No one knew how long this silence lasted, but after a while, the God of Justice, Yorgaardman broke the silence. He gave a dry laugh. Then trying his best to sound as casual as possible, he said, “Maybe, it may not be anyone’s doing at all. Maybe the rules of the world just happen to be like that.”

Hearing his words, everyone felt more at ease. But their faces still reflected their worries. And in their hearts, they were still anxious and apprehensive.

Yorgaardman’s speculation was certainly another possibility. Honestly, Sui Xiong even felt that this might, on the contrary, be a likelier possibility. However, compared to the possibility that the Master of Order was the mastermind behind all these, this possibility seemed so plain and ordinary. It lacked the shock factor, and also, there was nothing about it that could shock or terrify people.

This was the same in any world. The more sensational something was, the more attention it would attract. The press on Earth had such a famous saying that said, “It’s not news when a dog bites a man, but it’s big news when a man bites a dog.” To Sui Xiong and company, learning that “there was originally such restrictions on the Main Plane” was not news, nor was it something worthy of their concern. But if it was “the Master of Order had restricted all living creatures from exploring areas by the edges of the Main Plane,” then that would make hair-raising news that was startling enough for them to show concern and worry.

After all… the former was not dangerous while the latter was!

The thought of “this restriction was imposed by the Master of Order” made everyone shudder in fear, and they looked at each other for a long time. Even though Yorgaardman also suggested a more reasonable and safer possibility, it was unable to completely dismiss their fears.

Fortunately, there was one among them who was not afraid.

After a while, Sui Xiong smiled and said, “This looks very interesting. After this combat against the drought is over, I want to go over to the edge of the Main Plane to take a look.”

Everyone was shocked. It was out of their expectations that not only was he unafraid, but he was also even curious.

“By that time, will you still remember this?” Javier asked.

“Of course,” Sui Xiong replied. He smiled and said, “Come to think of it, it’s quite strange indeed. All of you have forgotten about it, but I remember it. It seems as if I was not the least affected.”

The gods were surprised. But after some careful thoughts about it, they were relieved. Given his strength as a great Divine Power, Sui Xiong was able to roam freely about the Main Plane. He did not seem to be restricted by the enchantment left by the Goddess of Life. This was already very amazing. Adding to another area where he was not affected by any restriction was simply no big deal. And it was nothing strange at all.

A more realistic example could be derived from this as well: Before he traversed worlds, Sui Xiong enjoyed reading web novels. There were all kinds of authors who wrote web novels. Among them, there were those who updated their novels with 20 thousand words on a daily basis and did this all year round without fail. There were those who insisted on writing even when they were sick. They were so diligent that their readers were moved to tears. There were also authors who would write a chapter when they were in a good mood or take a break for a few days if they were in a bad mood. There were even those who would start on a book that eventually came to naught. A few days later, they would start on another book, but then it did not take them long before the cycle repeated itself, and the book would disappear without an ending—such a situation was called “eunuch,” which meant “nothing at the bottom.”

A diligent author could update his novel with ten chapters a day, and no one would find this surprising. A lazy author made a eunuch out of a book again, and no one would find this surprising as well.

The same theory was applicable to Sui Xiong. Since he had already broken through one kind of restriction, breaking through another was nothing worth the surprise.

But… this alone was not enough!

“This is not very befitting,” said Javier as he shook his head. “Just because you’re not restricted by the Goddess of Life’s enchantment and have the freedom to use your power on the Main Plane doesn’t mean that you’re able to be free from the restriction of this bizarre rule. Moreover… if the Master of Order was really the one who imposed this restriction, and you go ahead with testing him so impulsively, it’s easy to provoke him.”
