Chapter 899: Vol V Chapter 259

Sui Xiong did not argue against Wenner as he knew Wenner was right.

In this world, where gods truly existed, “faith” was extremely important to the humans. Dying for their faith was not uncommon. Rather, it was actually a common sight.

Furthermore, death was not the end. For those who died for their faith, they would be received by the gods into their respective God Kingdom after death. They would then be able to enjoy a long period of luxury. For those who escaped at key moments and betrayed their faith, they would only be able to enter the underworld after they died and would constantly face much danger.

Death was definitely painful, but if “death” was not one’s final destination but rather the marker of a new stage of life, it became less scary. For the disciples, especially the serious and resolute, dying for their gods and dying for their faith was completely acceptable.

The interesting thing was that amongst those who had died for their faith, there was a significant number of evil people. It was not that they did not fear death but more that they believed that if they still could not receive redemption from their gods after death, it was a sign that they belonged to the underworld and required punishment for their sins.

As compared to death, entering the underworld was a much scarier prospect.

Under Sui Xiong, there were many devoted disciples as well. One day, if he were to face powerful enemies and engage in intense battle, these disciples would step up bravely and risk their lives gladly even if it were just a minuscule effort towards helping Sui Xiong gain victory.

As per Sui Xiong’s suggestion, it was thus impossible that the disciples would not participate if a god of wars occurred.

Sui Xiong knew himself that he was just being too soft-hearted towards the people, and he sighed and shook his head.

“It seems as though I can’t be of much help anymore.”

“No, that’s not true. Void Mask, you could at least stop the slaughter that would take place in the war.”

Sui Xiong’s eyes lit up, and he nodded furiously.

He had never really cared about which race won this battle in the first place. He was only concerned about the fact that many innocent people would die for no reason. If he could prevent all the slaughter, he would at least be able to face himself.

Following that, Sui Xiong had another round of intensive discussions with the gods and came up with plans and guidelines for the issue of preventing slaughter. This was especially so on the topic of how to do so, and they eventually reached a somewhat unanimous agreement on the issue.

According to the agreement, if slaughter happened or was about to happen in war, any of the gods could step up to stop it. As for the situation where a third party tried to prevent the gods from stopping slaughter, everyone would view this third party as a common enemy. If this third party refused to comply with the gods’ will even with warnings, Sui Xiong would directly find this third party and deal with them personally.

If there was the need, the gods could directly enter the war as well, even if it would affect the result of the war.

After the discussion, the gods went their own ways, and Sui Xiong thought about the discussion on his own. He smiled as he thought about the final agreement among the gods.

He raised his head and saw that Javier was still sitting in the meeting room. He was entertaining himself, clearly waiting for something.

“Do you have something to say to me?” Sui Xiong could guess who Javier was waiting for, and he spoke up curiously. “Or perhaps… “he” wants to talk to me?”

Javier nodded. “As expected, I don’t need to beat around the bush with clever people like you. So… are you interested in talking to “him”?”

Sui Xiong thought for a long time before shaking his head.

“Before this war ends, I do not wish to communicate with either side.”

Javier smiled and poured Sui Xiong a glass of wine. “I guessed that you might say that; “he” did too.”

Sui Xiong received the wineglass from Javier but did not immediately take a sip. Instead, he swirled the wine slowly while shaking his head and speaking with a pained tone.
