Chapter 981: The Exchange (Part 3)

The God of Light did not really notice the suspicious gazes cast upon him by Sui Xiong and instead continued to speak. “Previously, I was always focused upon the humans’ idea of glory. It was simply too irresistible that even I fell prey to it for a long, long time. I even played on the idea of glory to discover the path towards great Divine Power and borrowed the glory of the humans to push myself into that level. In hindsight, that was rather rash. If I had been calmer or less indulgent, I definitely would not have done such a thing. Well, that’s a thing of the past now. Clearly, I was blinded with greed for glory in the past.”

“Yes, that was indeed a dangerous move. Using a race’s destiny to cross into a higher level could easily diminish it and cause the race to weaken severely,” Sui Xiong said. “Even if they did not weaken, they would still be in debt or be lost; it’s hard to say.”

“Destiny? That’s an interesting term to use here. Did you derive that term from luck? Well, what you said is true. This is why, in the past, the fairy race had also been glorious once. However, they’d rather the entire God System bring the race to complete the Great Migration and explore new worlds than walk down this path,” the God of Light shook his head. “They did succeed, but they left behind a huge number of old and sick members of their race. That diminished the worth of what they achieved greatly!”

“Ah? The fairies’ Great Migration… succeeded?”

“Yes, they succeeded. It is just that their brand new world was originally unable to take on too much strength in one go. They left behind their original bodies as well as those who had extra strength behind and used this energy to forcefully push the God of Art and Culture to reach the Divine Power level. They then fabricated the lie of how the Master of Mystery had single-handedly annihilated the entire Fairy God System… I have to admit, they really managed to successfully lie to many. Even for me, I only dug out the truth after I caught that liar and interrogated it out of him.”

Sui Xiong finally understood the matters of the past and the truth between the fairy race and the Master of Mystery.

“Well, none of it mattered much as at that time, the Human God System was far more powerful than the Fairy God System, and so I could not care less,” the God of Light said. “The biggest issue faced by the fairies was that they did not have enough manpower, and thus their glory… or rather, in your terms, their destiny, was unable to maintain the efforts of pushing someone to the Divine Power level. If they had managed to, there definitely would have been severe repercussions in store for them.”

“Just before he had died, the God of Conspiracy had mentioned that you rose to the great Divine Power level by riding on the destiny of the humans. This signaled to him the end of the reign of the humans rather than the start of it. Perhaps he had felt that the humans would face similar repercussions as the fairies and become extinct,” Sui Xiong said.

“He was wrong! The foundation of the human race is much stronger than that of the fairies. It can be used as a support, can resist many things, and is overall much steadier than that of the fairies. That is why I chose to walk down this road after getting the relevant information regarding the fairies from that liar, the Master of Mystery,” the God of Light said. “No matter what, this path seemed to bring about higher chances of success.”

Sui Xiong nodded. The truth was that the God of Conspiracy’s final scheme had failed while the God of Light’s choice had been proven to be the right one. The humans, who had won over the allied troops of other races, did indeed have enough power to propel the God of Light to a higher level and still have many destinies left behind as well.

“At first, I assumed that becoming a great Divine Power would allow me the best view and allow me to understand this world’s deepest, darkest secrets, curing the emptiness in my heart,” the God of Light’s facial expressions changed and his tone became colder. “However, I did not expect that, even before I could fully adjust and stabilize myself in this world, before I could begin to uncover any secrets, before I could get a good look at the view, that enemies would follow close behind.

“Auscar, you… I really hate you!”

Sui Xiong was speechless as he felt that he was innocent in this case.
