“Are you totally adapted?”

  “Yes, totally adapted,” Leon replied. He moved his body, then smiled and said, “It’s a wonderful feeling. Whether it’s my perspective of how I look at the world or the feeling of how I see myself, everything is different.

  “The feeling is always very weird before you get used to it. But after you get adapted to it, you will only feel…… pleasure. Haha, pleasure, that is the feeling!” Leon said as he laughed a little louder. “That fellow, Shoggoth, has a point. Pleasure! How very pleasurable!”

  Sui Xiong could not help laughing as he said, “I think you still need some more time to adapt.”

  “Why?”

  “Look around you.”

  Leon froze for a moment, then noticed that without him realizing, many feathers had appeared in his surroundings and were drifting randomly about in the air. These feathers simply refused to fall to the ground. From these feathers, he could feel an amiable Divine Power that was connected to him by blood. The feeling was as natural as breathing.

  This was basically his own Divine Power!

  “What?!”

  “Stop lamenting. You simply have yet to truly master your own power at all!” Sui Xiong said and laughed. “I remember when I first arrived on the continent, I was also like you. Accidentally, I created a big hole in the ground. Every place I passed by, a large patch of trees would fall. I was just like a tornado in transit.”

  “And then?” Leon asked with great interest.

  “And then, of course, I gradually adapted to it.”

  Leon shrugged his shoulders and expressed a slight dissatisfaction at this ending, that was just not interesting enough.

  “Maybe you can make up for my shortcomings. Just go to the human world like this, make many jokes of yourself,” Sui Xiong smiled mischievously and added, “This way, your descendants will be very happy. Their great ancestor is not only wise and powerful but has also left many popular stories of humor.”

  \r \r \r

  Leon’s smile instantly froze on his face.

  “Perhaps many years from now, the descendants of the Igor family—or maybe the Garth family—will talk about their great ancestor, His Majesty, Leon, at dinner time. They will say, ‘Ah, this ancestor must have been a person with a heart full of joy to have been so tireless in coming up with all kinds of jokes’.……”

  No, only you can be like this. I’m a very stern and serious person!

  Because he had already stepped into the Demigod Realm, Leon’s mental activities were not seen through by Sui Xiong. But from the expression on his face, Sui Xiong could almost guess what was on his mind.

  “How you think is not important. The great power of time will leave only the most interesting or ridiculous parts of the story,” he continued. “I once heard a story about a man who was very brave. At war, he was always the one who led the way. During one of the battles, the leather strap of his armor broke. Because it was inconvenient, he simply took off his armor and went on fighting. At his time, the armors were not as ingeniously designed. There was no way he could wear any underwear. So taking off his armor would naturally mean he was naked. His enemy was a valiant warrior and did not want to be at an advantage because of armor. He simply took off his armor and fought against his opponent naked. What do you think of the story?”

  “They were certainly warriors. But aren’t they a little too stubborn?” Leon said after giving it some thought. Then he said, “Isn’t it more practical to put on one’s armor and kill the opponent in one strike?”

  Sui Xiong laughed, then asked, “So do you know how people evaluate these two warriors after almost 2000 years?”

  “Should be something like what I said. They can’t be foolish enough to praise this act of taking off one’s armor on the battlefield.”

  Sui Xiong smiled mysteriously and said, “As far as I know, the later generations have given them names like ‘Pioneers of the Celestial Bodies’ Movement’ and ‘Pioneers of Nude Physical Combat.’”

  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.”
