Chapter 873 (2/2)
Sui Xiong froze for a moment, then asked, “I can understand the latter statement, but what does the former mean?”
“By celestial bodies, I refer to ‘natural bodies.’ What does the natural body of a human being look like?”
Leon expressed his complete understanding then.
The great power of time was really terrifying! Horrible!
“I will continue to adapt here until I can fully master my power!” he said firmly. “Until then, I’m not going anywhere!”
With that, the wings of light behind him stirred and began fluttering, causing the disorderly feathers around him to whirl about in the wind.
Sui Xiong gave a satisfied smile. Then he went back to sitting before the huge “bird egg” that was immersed in the power of beliefs.
“A female God of Royalty… when this one comes out, things will be very interesting…”
“God of Royalty?!” exclaimed the God of Aristocracy. Their face was livid with the hue of death. They looked no different from a dead man. With disheveled hair, there was not even a tinge of the mightiness of the gods found in them. And their voice was filled with disbelief and unease. They did not even have a trace of confidence in her.
“Impossible! He is long gone!”
The God of Light’s mouth curled up in an almost undetectable degree as he said, “Dead? Is there really ‘death’ for us gods?”
The question that he asked in return brought the God of Aristocracy to silence.
Indeed, while the gods might fall, with the right conditions in place, any fallen god could be completely resurrected. Over the past years, there were even occurrences of gods who had fallen for tens of thousands of years being resurrected, let alone the fact that the God of Royalty had merely fallen 300 years ago.
Although the resurrected gods were often very different from the original gods, at least the core of their priesthoods were of the same vein. Many memories and attitudes towards various matters would remain consistent.
The resurrection of gods was essentially like the reincarnation of masters in the human world. There might be many changes, but strictly speaking, they were the same person from the start to the end.
And to the God of Aristocracy, for the resurrected God of Royalty and the original God of Royalty to be the same person? There would not be anything worse than this in the world!
The core of their priesthood was inherited from the God of Royalty. If the God of Royalty was resurrected, to seize these priesthoods back from them, a war could easily break out between them. No, there was no need for war. The God of Royalty had a natural advantage over these priesthoods. So long as he was formally resurrected, many of these priesthoods would feel the pull of the force of their source and fall back into the control of the God of Royalty.
At that time, the God of Aristocracy would definitely fall from the level of a great Divine Power. At best, she could remain as a weak mid-level Divine Power. At worst… she might not even be able to remain as a mid-level Divine Power and would continue to fall further to the level of a weak Divine Power.
If it had not been for the painstaking efforts she had put in over the years, and also her mastery of many gods who had nothing to do with the former God of Royalty, she might even have directly fallen into a god-to-be level without any priesthood. In the most serious cases, it was even possible for her to directly fall into destruction.
The God of Aristocracy could not help but shudder slightly at the thought of that possibility.
It was not cold in the quiet room, and the bodies of a god were not afraid of the cold. But at that moment, they could only feel a penetrating cold all over her body. It was an irresistible cold that made them want to shiver and tremble, and they wanted to find a warm and safe place to cower in.
Looking at their ghostly appearance, the God of Light shook his head with a little regret and disappointment.
“This quiet room is enveloped in my divinity. You can rest assured that external affairs would not be able to affect you in here,” he said. “But, if you want to continue being a god and if you still want to maintain your current power and position, ultimately, you need to come out of this place. When the God of Royalty is truly resurrected, you have to face him.
“Don’t you ever think of escaping. This is one hurdle that you can’t overlook.”
