Chapter 869: Vol V Chapter 229

Sui Xiong did not know the God of Royalty, but Wenner did.

The background of this god was actually quite ordinary. He was originally someone who was sealed god during the early stage of the great development of mankind. Before him, the social system of mankind was not very different from that of the Orcs, where the tribes formed the core when regarding nation-building. It was he who initially formulated the kingdom and official system, which later developed into the aristocratic feudal system.

He was considered to be the first true “king” in human history, which explained why he was sealed god after his death to become the God of Royalty. At first, his divinity was not powerful. But as the kingdom system gained popularity, his strength grew stronger. Especially after the aristocracy feudal system was established, the kingdom system gradually penetrated the people’s hearts. There were many other worlds that soon adopted this system, let alone the Main Plane. His divinity was constantly on the rise. Ultimately, he even made it near to becoming a great Divine Power.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to become a great Divine Power, he was assassinated by the God of Aristocracy and the God of Conspiracy, who had conspired against him. Thus, he had fallen, and his priesthood was largely taken over by the God of Aristocracy. He was practically replaced by the God of Aristocracy.

Now, he had reappeared in the mortal world. Although he was merely a shadow, Wenner could still recognize him at a glance anyway.

Wenner introduced this god to Sui Xiong. Sui Xiong nodded slightly and asked, “So… is he considered to be the husband of the God of Aristocracy?”

“Far from being their husband. At that time, the God of Aristocracy was only one of his… Haha, you know what I mean. They have no status to speak of at all,” Wenner said. He thought for a moment, then finally came up with a nicer description. “Favorite belle, or something like that.”

Sui Xiong understood then. This was just the same as saying she was his “beloved concubine.”

He recalled what Professor Cheng had once said. Those “beloved concubines” in love novels might seem all high and mighty, yet in truth, their social status was nowhere higher than the slaves. They all belonged to the class of slaves that belonged to a master—the practice of “polygamy” never existed in ancient China. On the contrary, it was extremely firm in its orientation towards the “monogamy” system. So the wives were the masters of these concubines, and they had the authority to punish, or even expel these concubines at their disposal.

For the concubines, their masters’ favor was the one and only thing they could rely on. And at that time, for the God of Aristocracy, pleasing the God of Royalty with their beauty was basically what they had to do to ensure survival.

The God of Aristocracy was a proud and ambitious god. Of course, they would not willingly reconcile with being a plaything. So it was not surprising that they would choose to assassinate the God of Royalty and take his place.

To be honest, they did quite well as the God of Aristocracy. In just about 300 years or slightly more, they finally entered the ranks of great Divine Power. But Sui Xiong felt that… if the God of Aristocracy were allowed to go on like this, something would go wrong.

Something big would happen!

Now, that something big had happened.

The God of Royalty was about to be resurrected. What should the God of Aristocracy do?

At the thought of it, Sui Xiong found it a little amusing.

“This is going to be a big story!” he said. “I seriously didn’t think something like this would happen!”

“I think, I can almost guess the identity of that Holy Spirit,” Wenner said. He smiled and said with much confidence, “The divinity contained in this Holy Spirit is readily absorbed by the divinity of the God of Royalty, thus contributing to the resurrection of the God of Royalty. This also means that he’s most likely the Holy Spirit of the God of Royalty.”

“The Holy Spirit of the God of Royalty? Wasn’t the God of Royalty killed by the God of Aristocracy? If he still has a Holy Spirit, how could he have been killed?” Sui Xiong asked curiously.

Wenner shook his head and explained, “Holy Spirits can only take over the priesthood after the respective gods have fallen and become the next generation of gods. At that time, the God of Aristocracy had directly devoured the divinity of the God of Royalty. Though indigestion caused them to let out some of it, overall, there was no chance for the Holy Spirits of the God of Royalty to take over his priesthood. But after that, the Holy Spirits of the God of Royalty never re-appeared. I even thought they had been killed by the God of Aristocracy…”

“So I take it that… they have gone through all this trouble just to resurrect the God of Royalty?” Sui Xiong asked.
