Chapter 883 (2/2)

Amidst the silence, Sui Xiong suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Actually, this is also an opportunity for you.”

“Opportunity?” Manissy paused for a moment after asking. Then she looked at him and waited for him to finish.

“In this world, no country is eternal. Even the Kingdom of Eagle would already be destroyed if not for the God of Knights’ intervention, right?” Sui Xiong asked.

Manissy nodded.

“If that’s the case, why should you bind yourself to the kingdom of mortals?” Sui Xiong asked. Then he laughed and said, “How about you take this opportunity to separate your priesthood from those mortal dynasties that are fated to be short-lived? Let’s not seek any status like a state religion.”

Manissy nodded again. Of course, she felt that Sui Xiong’s words made sense. But then, she raised her brows and asked, “If I completely separate my priesthood from the earthly kingdoms, does that mean that the loss incurred from this “Commonwealth of Gold Coins” will be irrecoverable? Isn’t that too big a loss to make?”

“Well, naturally you win some, and you lose some. Of course, there is a price to pay if you want to liberate yourself from the rise and fall of Earth and become a carefree spectator,” Sui Xiong said. He held his tentacles out and went on to say, “Where can you find such a thing as the best of both worlds in this world? It’s just a matter of choosing the better side.”

Manissy frowned and fell into deep thought.

Sui Xiong’s suggestion was very tempting. She could prevent herself from being influenced by the rise and fall of the dynasties and become a transcendent god. This was undoubtedly, very good for her. But in doing so, she would have to face a huge loss, and that also made her very worried.

She was not like Sui Xiong, who was an invincible super master. The moment she suffered a huge loss, her divinity would fall to the mid-level Divine Power. And she was always fearful that there would be someone openly or secretly looking to stir up trouble for her.

Thinking of this, she could not help but sigh deeply again.

Just then, Wenner said, “Manissy, what on earth is going through your mind? This is so obvious!”

His voice carried a sonorous tone, like the clanging of metals. In an extremely penetrating and persuasive voice, he said, “The earthly dynasties will ultimately come to an end. Even if you barely manage to let it drag on this time, what about the next time? There will always be times when you just can’t pull through, isn’t that so?”

“It’d still be nice if I could let this drag on for a little while longer…”

“Please don’t ever tell anyone that you’re a member of our Void Alliance in the future. It’s simply too disgraceful!” Wenner snorted coldly. Then in a peevish tone, he said, “It’s just a matter of lowering your divinity, that’s all. You have “commercial practices,” the priesthood that is continuously gaining strength, to fall back on. Your overall divinity is very stable, what’s there to worry about?”

“But… I still have so many enemies…”

The moment she said this, Wenner burst out laughing.

“Are you a fool? What on earth gave you the illusion of ‘I’m a great Divine Power, my enemies will not dare to do anything to me’?”

He looked at the bewildered Manissy with an extremely mean and stern face, then angrily, he said, “Your enemies don’t dare to do anything to you not because you are a great Divine Power, but because you have us as your allies!

“A good-for-nothing who can’t fight should honestly just stand back and help with the logistics. Don’t always think of yourself as some hero who is able to outdo all corners!” he said. Then he laughed and patted Yorgaardman, who was next to him, on the shoulder. “Such a thing like fighting should be left to us from the fighting party. That is what we are good at!”

It was only then that Manissy came to her senses. Her gaze lingered on Wenner and Yorgaardman momentarily before falling upon Sui Xiong.

Sui Xiong smiled and nodded.

Then she burst out laughing. All signs of dejection were swept away, and she was in high spirits, refreshed and brimming with energy.

“Alright!” she said with great energy. “Then I shall take this opportunity to sort out my priesthoods. Thereafter, I shall bid farewell to the rise and fall of the earthly dynasties and be a carefree god!
