There is an allusion on earth, which is about a person who wants to bribe his boss. The boss said: "This will be known by others. It is not appropriate." The person advised: "There are only you and me here, and no one else will know." The boss said He sighed and said, "Heaven knows and earth knows, gods know and ghosts know, you know and I know, how come no one knows?"
Sui Xiong was not very talented and did not remember the exact content of this allusion, but the saying "Heaven knows and earth knows, gods know and ghosts know, you know and I know" was quite interesting, so he did write it down.
In fact, this statement can only be regarded as superstition on the earth. After all, the ghosts and gods in the heaven and earth there are all imaginary and false things. But in this world, it is certain that the heaven and earth have spirits, and the ghosts and gods have knowledge.
For example, Sui Xiong himself, as a god, has wonderful perceptions. No matter where he is, as long as someone mentions him or wants to plot against him, he can sense it.
If the gods take action, they may be able to block this induction, but whether it is the Kingdom of Thousand Springs or the Federation of Secret Towers, the people in charge are just mortals. When they were discussing the plan, Sui Xiong already had a vague feeling that someone in these two places was plotting against him, but he didn't know the details or who it was.
However, it doesn't matter, just as Ogmandine, the god of strategy, discussed with him, no matter who did it, he will cause trouble to these two countries and demand compensation from them.
The dignified Mr. Void Mask, do you want to tell those ghosts about "human and material evidence"
Proof your sister! My words are proof! If you don’t believe it, uncle, I will drag out all the civil and military officials from your court one by one and use my divine power to read minds. See if you can find any evidence!
However, by then, the price of compensation will be...
This is what Ogmandine taught Sui Xiong to do. Looking at his face at that time, which was one part angry, two parts ferocious, three parts disdainful, and ninety-four points arrogant, you knew that he had probably done a lot of this kind of thing, or was a spectator. A lot.
The God of War is proficient in fighting and has won countless battles. Naturally, he has also done countless blackmails. As a strategist of the war god system, Ogmandin would naturally take part in the extortion. Even if he was proud of his status, he would not end up personally. Of course, he would learn it after seeing it too much.
Sui Xiong is an open-minded and studious person. After learning from him, he always felt that he might not have learned enough. He wanted to find an opportunity to practice, find shortcomings and improve his level in practice, so to be honest, he still I really hope that the leaders of the Mystic Tower Federation and the Kingdom of Thousand Springs will not give in so quickly. Whether they pretend to be stupid or stunned, they will give him a chance to apply what he has learned.
If he swaggers over and the other person gets scared as soon as he opens his mouth, then even though it is an easy task, there will always be a sense of surprise like "Why did you fall down before I even exerted my strength?", which is not beautiful.
What's more... Since we want to rip off people, of course the more, the better!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself again.
But he only laughed for a while when someone interrupted him.
What disturbed him was one of his followers, the god of knowledge, Wo Er.
Wallburn was a swordsman and very fierce. After studying for many years, my temperament gradually became calmer, but still a bit unruly. It was not until after becoming a god that the swordsman's fierce and vicious aura was eliminated under the influence of priesthood and belief, and gradually turned into the elegant aura of a scholar. Now He is wearing a robe and holding a book. Even though He still wears the famous "black blade" in the past on his waist, he no longer has the temperament of licking blood with the blade. Instead, He looks like a scholar wandering around with a sword on the earth. generally.
But at this moment, he no longer had any leisurely temperament, and instead looked a little angry.
"Your Majesty! Too bad!" Sui Xiong shouted before he could reach him, "You have been fooled!"
Sui Xiong was stunned and asked in confusion: "What have I been fooled into?"
"A few days ago, did you give divine blood and let two legendary mages refine the wine of eternal life?" Wall asked.
Sui Xiong nodded: "That's indeed what happened."
"Alas! There is something wrong with the wine of eternal life!" Wall sighed deeply and said, "It can make mortals immortal, but in fact it is obtained by stealing the divinity of gods!"
Sui Xiong was slightly startled and frowned.
Divinity is the basis of a god's identity. It condenses into a godhead and disperses into divine power. Even the smallest bit of it can be used in endless ways. As long as a mortal can obtain a trace of divinity and refine it into his soul, he has some hope of entering the realm of demigods. If a legendary master obtains it, it can greatly increase the chance of breakthrough.
But this is harmful to the gods, just like the Buddhist allusion of "cutting meat to feed the tiger" on earth. No matter how powerful you are, you can heal the injury quickly, but if you cut off a piece of your own flesh, how can it not hurt!
He immediately closed his eyes and reflected on himself, checking himself inside and out, but found no sign that his divinity had been stolen.
This is strange. Seeing that Wole is so anxious, it shows that this matter is true. I think there is probably something wrong with the origin of the wine of eternal life. No wonder it has been lost for so many years. But... why wasn't he affected
Sui Xiong was puzzled, but didn't express it on his face. He smiled slightly and said calmly, "It's just a trace of divinity, what's the big deal? I am also powerful, so I can afford this loss."
Wo'er was stunned for a moment and asked with some doubts: "Your Majesty, haven't you gathered your priesthood yet? Now is the critical time. Losing even a little bit of divinity may lead to a decrease in your divinity in the future..."
Sui Xiong smiled and said nothing.
After several detailed discussions with Leonard, he became quite interested in Leonard's idea of "occupying a priesthood without becoming a god". Although doing so will lose a lot of the power of the gods, at least the most important abilities are still there. It can avoid being infected by the power of faith and avoid falling into chaos like ordinary evil gods. If you think about it carefully, it is indeed a good idea. way out.
He is not from this world, and he doesn't pay much attention to the rules of this world. Of course, he will follow whatever path is appropriate. The path Leonard developed has the best of both worlds, the Good God and the Evil God. Although it is not as powerful as the Right God and not as comfortable as the Evil God, it at least finds a good balance between the two, which is particularly desirable. .
Since he had such an idea, he was not too concerned about condensing the priesthood. Since we don't plan to condense the priesthood, what does it matter if we lose a little bit of divinity
It’s just that this matter should not be leaked for the time being, and can be discussed later.
Seeing that he didn't seem to care, Wall almost jumped in anxiety.
There is a saying on earth, "The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuchs are in a hurry to death." This roughly describes His current appearance.
In the end, it was Sui Xiong who came to persuade him: "Don't worry, it's just a trace of divinity. I have a way to make up for it, it just takes a year and a half."
Wall was stunned and looked at him in surprise.
Although divinity is condensed by divine power, at its root, it comes from "the recognition of the world." For gods, unless their divine status is improved, no matter how much divine power they have, they cannot condense into divinity. This is why even powerful divine powers rarely grant divinity and allow their followers to become demigods.
However, according to Sui Xiong, he actually has a way to make up for the lack of divinity
What an amazing magical power this is!
Wall was also smart and realized this in an instant. He hurriedly put away his surprise and forcibly calmed down.
"Your Majesty, are you really okay?" He asked in a low voice.
"It's really no problem." Sui Xiong said with a smile, "Don't worry."
Seeing that he was finally relieved, Sui Xiong asked what happened.
"What did you just say about the wine of eternal life?" He asked curiously, "Tell me about it in detail..."
