Chapter 974: The Development of Peace

The death and defeat of the God of Light was a giant setback for the Human God System, who had previously been arrogant and mighty.

Although they still had three Divine Powers in their system and were still one of the strongest out of all the races, with the loss of their main leader, the great Divine Power God of Light, they lost the ability to be dictators looming over the other races who were weaker and unable to defend themselves. They also had to concentrate on gathering their powers as a defense to prevent themselves from being attacked and hunted by the surrounding races who wanted them dead.

At this moment, the leader of the honorable gods, the Master of Order and the leader of the evil gods, the Master of Void Mask, both agreed unanimously that there had already been too many unnecessary deaths of humans and gods alike in the giant war that had just taken place. They had proclaimed that everyone should maintain peace for a good period of time and recuperate first in the meantime.

This basically meant that they did not support the other races forming alliances to attack and wipe out the human race. This was of course logical as although they had defeated the God of Light, it was undeniable from his disappearance that he would resurrect eventually and return to this world. When that time came, they would have to meet with him again. If they chose to allow for the extinction or destruction of the human race right now, once the God of Light resurrected, he would probably be so angered that he would become a huge terror. Having a terrorist-like great Divine Power would definitely be a nightmare for the entire world!

With the joint statement by the two great Divine Powers, the gods of course did not speak more about the human race and temporarily put away their enmity with the human race. Instead, they directed their energy towards helping their own races recuperate, heal and regain their past powers.

The giant battle had really wounded and defeated many. Be it the humans or the gods, their energy was all thoroughly spent, and it was definitely true that everyone required a good amount of rest now.

However, the Master of Void Mask and the neutral gods did not require this rest. The gods in the Void Mask System, as well as those who had respected the wishes of the Master of Void Mask, had not even participated in this giant war in the first place. As for their leader, the Master of Void Mask, although he had sustained serious injuries in the war, this veteran managed to almost fully heal himself and was able to run and tumble around cheerily without much effort.

Towards this, his blood brother, the God of Justice, had asked him curiously, “How did you manage to heal so quickly? Is this a perk of being a great Divine Power?”

Sui Xiong had replied, “Those were just tiny injuries, they just needed a bit of saliva to heal.”

Jellyfish saliva could be used to heal people? No one would believe that. However, glancing at Sui Xiong, who was active and cheery again, it was hard to say that he was lying.

Furthermore, even if one did not believe it, who could interrogate this great Divine Power and force him to reveal the truth?

The God of Justice thus simply shook his head and isolated himself somewhere quiet to recuperate in peace.

In the giant war before, he had really sustained some serious damages and was hit till he had seen stars by the God of Light. Now, he really required a few years of peace to meditate and heal himself.

With everything and everyone settling down, Sui Xiong glanced at the Main Plane, which was now left defenseless, and could not help but feel the urge to take action. He wanted to fix and improve the boundary of the Main Plane.

He had originally assumed that whatever the Goddess of Life had done could be easily achieved by him, given his great Divine Power status. However, once he actually started taking action, he realized that there was much that he was unable to do!

Among Sui Xiong’s powers, the percentage of chaos was way too much. If he simply wanted to build a simple boundary, for example one that prevented access in and out of the Main Plane, it would of course be simple. However, to build a complicated boundary that could carefully pick its own targets and send those with a specific amount of power and above off the Main Plane, leaving behind only the weaker ones, well… That would be rather difficult to accomplish.

Sui Xiong tried with tens of models of differing sizes, but yet none of them fully met his expectations. The power of these models were either too strong or too weak; they were either too intense or lacked too much. In any case, they all were not as useful or reliable as the model that the Goddess of Life had made in the past.

After many trials, Sui Xiong eventually gave up. He came to the conclusion that even with powers, he was not specialized enough to do this as he was not all-knowing. Instead, he converted his body into a transparent casing and covered the entire Main Plane.

Since he was unable to create a boundary, he would use his own body as a temporary boundary in the meantime. In any case, with Sui Xiong’s current powers, an insignificant clone would solve all the problems of a boundary without requiring him to have to fix the original boundary at all.

It was just that the fact that he had failed in his original task, which bothered Sui Xiong greatly and left him feeling dissatisfied. Even though Javier dragged him to drink several hundred types of wine and eat thousands of foods, Sui Xiong could not fully shake off this depression.

Of course, Sui Xiong would never admit that after a while, he was only pretending to still be depressed to lie his way into getting good food and drinks.

After all, he was a great Divine Power, the leader of the evil gods, the respected and great Master of Void Mask, how could he be known to do such embarrassing things!

Ah, all Sui Xiong could say was that those dishes were too delicious for him to resist to the point where he subconsciously improved his mood while eating good food.

Time continued to pass uneventfully on the calm and peaceful Main Plane.

About two to three years later, the God of Aristocracy from the Human God System requested for Sui Xiong to help them split priesthoods.

The God of Aristocracy had already been tortured for a long time by the split of their previous priesthoods. After being tortured by the plans of the Goddess of Schemes, they were now highly paranoid, and their responses had diminished. Their face was pale to the point where it was becoming green, and their eye circles were extremely black and thick. It was as if the God of Aristocracy had become some sort of panda-human hybrid. They stated that they simply could not hold on to this pain any longer and begged the Master of Void Mask to help them out by removing all the parts of their priesthood that had been stolen away by the God of Royalty in the past. Even if the God of Aristocracy were to fall to become a low-level Divine Power or a weak Divine Power, they couldn’t really care less.

Sui Xiong did not reject the God of Aristocracy’s request as he felt that they had already gotten the punishment they deserved by suffering all these years. Sui Xiong thus helped to solve this tiny problem. The interesting thing was that after the removal of the sections of priesthood, the God of Aristocracy realized that the parts that were removed were rather negligible. The remaining sections of divinity could still form a priesthood that would allow them to remain as a mid-level Divine Power.

Even though the God of Royalty had an advantage in the arena of royalty, the priesthood of the God of Aristocracy was not as heavily impacted as they had assumed it would be. The fact was that in the past, the God of Royalty had merely been a normal mid-level Divine Power and was still at least 54,000 miles away from being a Divine Power. The God of Aristocracy on the other hand had been progressing with the support of their faith and had stepped into the Divine Power level.

After removing the part now belonging to the God of Royalty from the God of Aristocracy’s priesthood, the loss was definitely noticeable, but that was about it. Now that they had finally escaped their pain, the God of Aristocracy returned to the Human God System and began pushing for another big thing.

They decided to start gathering the aristocrats and wanted to use the honor of the past as well as his bravery and mannerisms to win over the support of the humans. From there, he sent out several Oracles, cleaning up the circles of aristocrats. The dying and useless aristocrat tribes were abolished, and the upright and developing, or worthy tribes were noted. Under his cleaning up, the aristocrats experienced a fresh breath of life, and in many areas, humans began to restore their faith and respect in the God of Aristocracy once again.

The God of Aristocracy used at least about 20 years’ time to complete this entire mission. Next, he started on the next big thing in his grand scheme. He gathered the brave among the humans and called for them to raise their weapons, leave the Main Plane and expand into the outside worlds. He wanted them to use their intelligence and powers to find a new place where the humans could take over and live in peace.

“Let’s begin the search! Let’s mine! Let’s find land we can call our own and use our names to create new worlds for ourselves! Even if in the future, this honor and glory is lost as it is passed down through the generations, this memory will still forever be etched in our minds and be god-like, eternal!”

Under such a call, the humans once again began their developments noisily and intensely.

Within a mere few hundred years, the humans had developed tens of worlds of differing sizes and shown power and morale that others had never seen before, thriving and flourishing at a rate that other races could only dream of enviously.

The God of Aristocracy, banking on his achievements as a leader, gained large amounts of faith and once again regained their Divine Power status. Furthermore, they eventually took over control of the entire Human God System, became the successor of the God of Light and was effectively the next God King of the humans.
