On Earth, there was a story about a man who wanted to bribe his superior, and the superior said, "This will be known by others. It's not appropriate." The man then advised, "Only you and me here, no one else knows." The superior sighed and said, "Heaven knows, Earth knows, God knows, Ghost knows, you and I know. How can no one else know?"
Sui Xiong didn't know much, so he didn't remember the exact content of the story. But the saying "Heaven knows, Earth knows, God knows, Ghost knows, you and I know" was quite interesting, so he remembered it.
On Earth, this saying could only be regarded as superstition. After all, ghosts and gods were all imaginary things. But in this world, there were spirits in heaven and earth, and ghosts and gods knew. This was true.
For example, Sui Xiong himself, as a god, had a wonderful sense. No matter where he was, as long as someone mentioned him or wanted to plot against him, he would be able to sense it.
If a god took action, he might be able to block this sense. But whether it was the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs or the Mifata Federation, the people in charge were just ordinary people. When they were discussing the plan, Sui Xiong already had a vague feeling that someone in these two places wanted to plot against him. But he didn't know the details, and he didn't know who did it.
However, it didn't matter. Just like what Augmentin, the God of Strategy, had discussed with him, no matter who did it, he would find trouble with these two countries and ask for compensation.
As the Void Mask, did he still need to talk about "witness and material evidence" with those sneaky people?
Evidence my ass! My words are the evidence! If you don't believe me, I can drag out all the civil and military officials in your court and use my power to read their minds. See if you can find any evidence!
But at that time, the price of compensation would be …
This was what Augmentin had taught Sui Xiong. At that time, his face was one part angry, two parts ferocious, three parts disdainful, and ninety-four parts arrogant. Sui Xiong knew that he had done this kind of thing many times.
The War God System was good at fighting and had won countless battles. Naturally, they had also done many things to extort others. As the military counselor of the War God System, Augmentin naturally had to participate in the extortion. Even though he was proud of his identity, he didn't have to participate in the extortion himself.
Sui Xiong was a person who was humble and eager to learn. After learning from him for a while, he always felt that he might not have learned enough, so he wanted to find an opportunity to put it into practice, find out his shortcomings in practice, and improve his level. So, to be honest, he really hoped that the leaders of the Mifata Federation and the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs would not admit defeat so quickly. Whether they played dumb or pretended to be in a daze, in any case, they wanted him to have the opportunity to put what he had learned into practice.
If he swaggered over and the other party was terrified as soon as he opened his mouth, although it would be easy, there would always be a feeling of "why did you fall before I even used my full strength", and it would not be good.
Moreover … since he was going to extort money, of course, the more the better!
Thinking of this, he could not help but chuckle.
However, he had only laughed for a while before he was interrupted.
The one who disturbed him was one of his followers, the God of Knowledge, Wor.
Wor was originally a swordsman and was very fierce. Later, after many years of studying, his temperament gradually became gentle, but still with a bit of arrogance. Until he became a god, under the influence of the priesthood and faith, the fierce and fierce temperament of a swordsman disappeared, and gradually changed into the elegant temperament of a scholar. Now, he was wearing a robe, holding a scroll in his hand, and even though he still wore the "black blade" that was famous in the past on his waist, he no longer had the temperament of a swordsman, but instead looked like a scholar on Earth with a sword.
However, at this moment, he did not have the slightest leisurely temperament, but instead looked a little flustered and exasperated.
"Your Majesty! Oh no! "He shouted before he reached Sui Xiong," You have been tricked! "
Sui Xiong was stunned and asked in confusion, "What have I been tricked?"
"A few days ago, didn't you bestow God's blood and let two legendary mages refine the Immortal Wine?" Wor asked.
Sui Xiong nodded, "Yes, I did."
"Alas! There is something wrong with the Immortal Wine! " Wor sighed deeply and said, "It can make mortals immortal, but in fact, it is obtained by stealing the divinity of the gods!"
Sui Xiong was slightly shocked and frowned.
Divinity was the foundation of the gods. It was condensed into godhood and dispersed into divine power. Even a little bit of it had endless magical uses. As long as mortals could get a little bit of divinity, if they refined it into their own soul, they would have some hope of stepping into the demigod realm. If a legendary master got it, it could greatly increase the chance of a breakthrough.
But this was harmful to the gods. Just like the Buddhist story on Earth, "cutting off one's own flesh to feed the tiger," no matter how powerful one was and how quickly one could heal an injury, how could it not hurt when a piece of one's own flesh was cut off!
He immediately closed his eyes and checked himself inside and out, but did not find any signs of divinity being stolen.
This was strange. Seeing that Wor was so anxious, it could be seen that this matter was true. Presumably, the origin of the Immortal Wine was problematic, no wonder it had been lost for so many years. But … why was he not affected?
Sui Xiong was puzzled, but he did not show it on his face. He smiled slightly and pretended to be indifferent, saying lightly, "It's just a little bit of divinity, what's the big deal? I'm a great Divine Power, after all. I can afford this little loss. "
Wor was stunned and asked with some doubt, "Your Majesty, haven't you condensed a godhood? Now is the crucial time. Losing a little bit of divinity could lead to the lowering of your godhood in the future … "
Sui Xiong smiled without saying anything.
Ever since he had a few detailed discussions with Reynold, he was quite interested in Reynold's idea of "possessing a godhood but not becoming a god." Although doing so would lose a lot of the power of the gods, at least the most important abilities would still be there. It could avoid being contaminated by the power of faith, and it could also avoid falling into chaos like ordinary evil gods. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a good way out.
He was not a person of this world, and he did not care much about the rules of this world. Of course, he would take whichever path was more appropriate. This path that Reynold had researched had the advantages of both the orthodox gods and the evil gods. Although its power was not as good as that of the orthodox gods, and its freedom was not as good as that of the evil gods, at least it had found a good balance between the two, which was very desirable.
Since he had such an idea, he was not too concerned about condensing a godhood. Since he did not intend to condense a godhood, what did it matter if he lost a little bit of divinity?
It was just that this matter should not be leaked for the time being, and could be discussed later.
Seeing that he did not seem to care, Wall was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
There was a saying on Earth, "The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is anxious to death." It was probably referring to his current appearance.
In the end, it was Sui Xiong who came to persuade him. "Don't worry, it's just a little bit of divinity. I have my own ways to make up for it. It will only take a year and a half. "
Wall was stunned and looked at him in surprise.
Although divinity was condensed by Divine Power, it originated from the "recognition of the world." For gods, unless their godhood was upgraded, no matter how much Divine Power they had, they would not be able to condense divinity. This was why even powerful Divine Powers rarely bestowed divinity and let their believers become demigods.
However, according to what Sui Xiong said, he actually had a way to make up for the loss of divinity?
What an amazing magical power!
Wall was also clever and realized this in an instant. He hurriedly put away his surprise and forced himself to calm down.
"Your Majesty, is there really no problem?" he asked in a low voice.
"There really is no problem," Sui Xiong said with a smile. "Don't worry."
Seeing that he was finally relieved, Sui Xiong then asked what was going on.
"What exactly is the matter about the Wine of Immortality that you mentioned just now?" he asked curiously. "Tell me in detail …"
