Chapter 874: Vol V Chapter 234

“How are they?” asked the God of Diplomacy when the God of Light returned to the main hall. He had been waiting all this while.

The God of Light shook his head and said, “Just as you all have guessed. They are indeed an unpromising fellow that can’t be trained.”

“Your Majesty, haven’t you seen through their true nature long ago?” the God of Conspiracy asked with a smile. “Of all the ambitious men in this world, there’s very few who can really match their abilities to their power.”

The God of Light nodded and looked towards the dome of the main hall that was glowing above his head.

“So lonely…” he lamented. “Why isn’t there anyone who I can really trust my work with? I’m so troubled by how things are going!”

“Your Majesty, your demands are too high. There’s only one great Master God like you in the whole world,” said the God of Diplomacy. And he sincerely meant it from the bottom of his heart. “You should never use yourself as the standard when looking out for your successor.”

The God of Light shook his head and said nothing. His expression was somewhat lonely.

After a while, he asked, “How is the situation with the God of Royalty?”

The God of Conspiracy answered immediately, “Already taken away by the Void Mask.”

“It’s good that he’s taken away. This way, at least no matter what, we’ll still have a way out,” the God of Light finally showed a little earnest smile. “You have done a very good job this time. Truly worthy of being called the Dagger in the Darkness of our Human God System.”

The God of Conspiracy showed a look of ecstasy. He bent low and bowed deeply without saying anything.

He and the God of Diplomacy, as well as the many gods of the Human God System, were all faithful followers of the God of Light. In Earth’s parlance, it would be them following the God of Light brainlessly, as though they were all suffering from lead poisoning. Even if the God of Light said, “The moon is so green today,” they would immediately find as many people as they could to help the God of Moon put on several green hats. There would not be anything like a single line of refutation to be heard.

To these gods with immortality, receiving the recognition and complement of their idol for the work they did was the greatest form of happiness.

After praising the God of Conspiracy, the God of Light said, “How is the promotion of the new military system coming along?”

“It’s going smoothly,” replied the God of Diplomacy. “All the countries are busy with training new armies. But if it’s possible, we’ll still need to have a few major battles to let the people see clearly the overwhelming advantage that the new military system has over the traditional one. This way, people can completely abandon the old military system and adopt a new one.”

“Then let them fight,” said the God of Light. Just a single line from him decided the lives and deaths of thousands and millions of people. “The truth can be shaped through debate; the right way can be found through battle. New things must replace the old. Relying on reasonable persuasion, the effect is ultimately limited. The easiest and most reliable way is by drawing swords to kill those fellows who cling conservatively to old rules.

“Speaking of which, that fellow, Auscar, always have to come up with some interesting things. And yet, he’s not as enthusiastic in promoting… Hey! Do you all understand what exactly goes on inside the head of a jellyfish?”

The God of Diplomacy and the God of Conspiracy looked at one another but were unable to say anything.

All these years, the study of the topic of “wisdom of the jellyfish” had been the focus of many gods. The Human God System was no exception. The few gods who conducted the study had spent a great number of material resources and Divine Power, and god knows how many jellyfish they had killed. But they still could not come up with any useful conclusion.

According to them, creatures like jellyfish were not supposed to acquire wisdom, even if they had stepped into the Legendary Realm, became legendary magic beasts, and awakened their wisdom. This wisdom that was awakened would only be of a different type of wisdom.

But the wisdom of Auscar, the Void Mask, clearly did not belong to the “other types.”
