Chapter 864: Vol V Chapter 224

Of course, this was not Sui Xiong’s only tactic; he had more tricks up his sleeve!

After segregating the Church of the God of Eagle, Sui Xiong began to work on another tactic. This first tactic would cut off the God of Eagle from his original source of Divine Power, effectively depriving him of the large amounts of energy needed to resurrect as well.

The ability of the God of Eagle half depended on the fact that his kin was roaming this world, but was also based on the fact that his faith was traveling amongst the people. Sui Xiong could not do much about the faith that people had in the God of Eagle, but he could settle the former factor.

Normally, a god’s resurrection was similar to auctioning an object where price was key. This “price” mostly referred to how close the relationship between the god and the being it was about to use as a carrier was. As Leon was the God of Eagle’s direct kin, it was true that they did have a close relationship. However, there were actually many other people with the same close relationship due to the sheer number of the God of Eagle’s kin on this world. Leon was definitely not the only one.

Sui Xiong found tens of royalties which were all direct kin of the God of Eagle with ease and proceeded to induce them into a deep slumber. Amongst them, Sui Xiong then randomly selected one individual, removed the components of the God of Eagle from all the other bodies and entered it all into this individual’s bloodstream.

This sounded simple but was actually an extremely complicated process. The key to retrieving bloodline was careful craftsmanship. If one did not care about the life of the person, they were retrieving bloodline from, things would be much simpler. However, as Sui Xiong valued life, he did not mind being inconvenienced in order to preserve this individual’s life. He thus needed to use a bit more of his Divine Power to successfully retrieve the bloodline from each of the people and direct it into one select individual.

This “lucky” individual was the present Eagle Kingdom’s crown prince, a young man of about 20 years old. He was not as skilled or outstanding as Leon, and thus, Sui Xiong had not bothered to find out his name. However, he was a decent man with above-average fighting and equestrian skills. He especially liked to read books on history and the art of war and had a rather comprehensive understanding of military matters.

Today, his bloodline was greatly boosted and now surpassed that of Leon’s. The God of Eagle’s prepared tactics were naturally now altered to suit this surprising new situation. He no longer focused fully on Leon as he assumed that he had found a better new target.

This was another sabotage attempt by Sui Xiong. No matter how powerful the God of Eagle was, he could not resurrect in a few places at the same time. If he wanted to resurrect through Leon’s body, he would have to give up the crown prince who had a purer bloodline right now due to Sui Xiong’s antics. This was a tough decision on the part of the God of Eagle, who was now in a dilemma!

Leon was definitely strong but to a god, especially one with great Divine Power, it was not worth mentioning. Even if Leon was a little stronger, he would still not really be worth mentioning. As for resurrection, whether or not Leon got a little stronger was not worth mentioning. The important thing was to find the most suitable carrier to increase chances of success in resurrection. The God of Eagle thus started considering a change in tactic and was doubtful whether he should wait for Leon to enter the Demigod Realm on his own.

After all, if he had a good new target, why would he continue to choose Leon? Furthermore, Leon was not even a disciple of the God of Eagle!
