Chapter 907: Speculations (Part 3)

“Truthfully speaking, I myself don’t know why. But I do know that if something really does exist, it won’t change its existence just because I can explain it,” Sui Xiong said. Of course, he would not share what Wall told him with the rest. He took ownership of the entire matter to avoid causing any trouble for Wall. “Besides, whether I can explain it, or not, is it meaningful for both parties of this war?”

The God of Heroes nodded and looked towards the God of Diplomacy, who was sitting beside him. action

The God of Diplomacy said nothing and frowned.

Sui Xiong looked at the God of Light, Wuther Rang, and said with a smile, “Your thirst for knowledge is very strong. But you still have time to think about these after you fully become a greater Divine Power.”

The God of Pleasure, Javier, was greatly taken aback. His eyes widened. He looked at Sui Xiong, then at the God of Light. His face was full of disbelief.

“You can see that?” said the God of Light, who was also slightly surprised. He took a close look at Sui Xiong, then after a while, he asked, “You also tried taking this step yourself?”

Sui Xiong shook his head and replied, “Just what I felt, that’s all.”

As he spoke, he lifted up a tentacle, and the warm white light on his tentacle gradually condensed into a light ball. This light ball was full of pure warm vitality, yet this power was not that from the Life Realm or the Positive Energy Realm. It did not serve the purpose of “healing” or anything else, but rather, it was something from a purer, higher level.

Its light was not strong, but it had a kind of direct and penetrative appeal. When the God of Heroes looked at it, the look in his eyes seemed to lack focus as though he was somewhat in a daze. When the God of Diplomacy looked at it, his eyes showed faint signs of tears. When the God of Pleasure looked at it, he was full of wonder and praise. It was as though his entire heart was drawn to it. Only the God of Light could still maintain his calmness when looking at it. Yet beneath this calmness, there was a tinge of sorrowful sentiment.

Goodness.

Pure “goodness.”

“The Power of Virtue,” said the God of Light as he scrutinized that white light ball. After a long silence, he said in a low voice, “I can’t believe that you only needed such a short time to make this step.”

“I can only be considered as merely touching the threshold. I’m still a long way from making that step,” Sui Xiong said as he withdrew that power. And the light ball disappeared. The three gods who had been staring at it with their undivided attention instantly froze. It took them a while to come to their senses, but there was still some sense of loss in them.

“Since you have already reached this realm, then perhaps, it’s not surprising for you to be able to detect some things that I can’t,” said the God of Light. He thought for a moment, then said, “Only that fool, the great fireball, would boast that he’s omnipotent. I’ve never felt that I was almighty and capable of doing anything. On the contrary, the more I know, the more ignorant I feel I am. The stronger I got, the more I understand that there are many things that I can’t do.”

He paused for a moment, then went on to say, “And what you said made a lot of sense. Now, the most important thing is to know how to change our fate and not to think about what on earth is happening.”

Sui Xiong laughed and asked, “Are you confident of changing fate?”

“No,” the God of Light said frankly. “Not at all.”

Sui Xiong froze momentarily, then he asked, “So… you are prepared to accept fate, just like that?”

“Of course not,” said the God of Light. “What fate has in store for me doesn’t affect what I do. I still intend to do my best to fight this war. I’ll fight this war at my level best. This way, I’ll have nothing to complain about even if I fail.”

“But… what are you going to do about the problem with fate?”

“Fate has never been a problem,” said the God of Light. He finally smiled. “Suppose you are a mortal, and you have an enemy that you bore such a deep hatred for. But if you kill him, you will become a wanted criminal, and then countless mercenaries will be hunting you down like dogs. In the end, you will die in a place no one knows and may even be beheaded by someone so that they can claim their reward… in that case, would you kill him?”

Sui Xiong considered carefully for a moment, then replied, “Yes!”

“Yes, ultimately, what has to be done, has to be done. Even if you know that the outcome will still be the same,” said the God of Light as he nodded with a look of satisfaction. “So it’s also the same for me. Even if I know what this war will lead to eventually, I will still fight this battle!”

“Even if the humans end up with a terrible future?”

“When I first became the Master God of the Human God System, the humans were in a terrible situation,” said the God of Light. “At that time, we were being oppressed by the Orcs as they lashed out at us. We tried our best, but still, we could hardly hold the line at the front. Our cities were being destroyed, one by one. Our farmlands had been burnt down and turned into pastures for their cattle to graze. Our children and grandchildren were slaughtered at will and even became their food during winter. And our creator turned a blind eye to all this. Our Master God was heavily wounded in the bitter wars time and again. He often vomited blood and fell into comas. At that time, many people felt that perhaps the fate of us humans was to be driven out of the northern Great Plains, flee into the mountainous areas and then continue to be pursued until we were all killed…”

In his eyes, the flames of rage and murderous intention were slowly ignited. Then he went on to say, “But, I’m not going to succumb to such a fate. I want to change all of this!”

“I don’t think there’s a need for me to tell you about what happened next. You all know about it too,” said the God of Light as he looked at Sui Xiong. “No matter how bleak the future of the humans looks, it will not be worse than before. But I believe that no matter how trying it will be in the future, the humans will overcome all the difficulties and obstacles. We will rise and set foot on a new peak again!

“As the present Master God of the humans, it is my duty to remove the greatest obstacle on that road and completely defeat all our old enemies. I will trample upon them so viciously that they will never have the chance to rise again!”

Sui Xiong looked at his resolute, unwavering expression and could not help laughing bitterly.

Both Lefon and Wuther were determined and unshakable characters. Even if they knew the direction of their fates, they would not be confused or hesitate at all. They could still make their choices with a firm mindset and continue to proceed along the path they thought was right.

Sui Xiong looked into his own heart and asked himself whether or not he would do the same thing if he had met with the same situation.

After leaving the Human God System, he returned to his God Kingdom. Along the way, he had been thinking about this question.

“Maybe… I will back off for the time being,” he muttered to himself. “After all, I can only have a future if I make it back alive. A temporary retreat is for the sake of future progression. A great leader once said that humans are the most precious beings. Only by preserving human lives can we preserve hope for the future. That saying that’s something like ‘save the land and lose the people…’ or whatever it is, in short, if the humans die, then there’s really no more hope for us. There’s really nothing left at all.”

He paused for a moment to organize his thoughts. Then he could not help shaking his head as he added, “No, maybe I myself will make a similar choice. Living in this world, I will simply pray for a happy life. Living more or living less, how much difference can there be? I’ve lived so long that it actually doesn’t make any difference if I were to die earlier or later. If I can’t live life to my heart’s content, will there be any meaning in living?”

The giant jellyfish sprawled out on the ground muttered to himself as he got lost in thought…
