Unlike Yonier, who had already accumulated enough, Satan still needed to accumulate more to become a God of Nature.
Without Sui Xiong, he would not have been able to get this priesthood.
Not to mention anything else, just fighting against the remaining will of the ancient God of Death for this priesthood was not something a peak Legend could do.
After all, the ancient God of Death buried under the Cinder Woods was not an ordinary person. In ancient times, he had a dispute with the Goddess of Life over the correct direction of life, and they had a great battle!
If not for Sui Xiong's help, just the Purification Magic Circle extending to his body and the conflict with his remaining will might have taken Satan's life.
Moreover, even if Satan was well-prepared and lucky enough to defeat the remaining will of the ancient God of Death, he would not have the ability to absorb the remaining divine power and divinity in the corpse to use as a stepping stone for his apotheosis.
Moreover, if not for Sui Xiong's help, Satan would have died somewhere long ago. How could he talk about apotheosis?
Therefore, after apotheosis, the first thing Satan did was to go to Sui Xiong's God Kingdom and swear loyalty to him as a subsidiary god.
In contrast, Yonier was not so anxious. Although he had promised to join the Void God System, his relationship with Sui Xiong was not as direct as that of a superior and a subordinate, but more like that of an employer and a long-term employee.
As long as Sui Xiong did not let him down, he would naturally serve Sui Xiong loyally. But if one day there was a serious and irreconcilable disagreement between them, he would have the right to leave — just like the position of the "Iron Lion" Morani in the Orc God System.
After dealing with the affairs of the believers, selecting a chief priest, and creating a preliminary framework for the church, Yonier also set off for the Sanctuary in the God Kingdom to meet the gods of the Void God System.
However, he did not see Sui Xiong. He only saw his colleagues in the God System and Satan, who had rushed over not long ago.
"His Majesty has gone out." The God of Knowledge, Wall, who was almost the second-in-command of the Void God System, said with a bitter smile. "He said that the corpse of the ancient god was very interesting. Even the power of the incarnation that was originally stationed in the God Kingdom was transferred there."
Satan was startled and asked, "The remnant power of that ancient god is still so strong?!"
"His Majesty didn't go into details, but judging from his tone and expression, he doesn't seem to be nervous or excited about encountering a strong enemy. Instead, he seems to have encountered an interesting toy …"
Only then did Satan feel relieved, so he was no longer in a hurry. Everyone just quietly waited for Sui Xiong's return.
At this time, Sui Xiong was deep underground in the Ashes Forest, studying the white light in front of him with great interest.
This ball of white light was warm and pure. It was the embodiment of the Power of Supreme Benevolence. In the center of the white light, there was a corpse with only the upper half of its body left. It was pitch-black and emitted endless resentment and evilness. It was like a huge spring that constantly spewed out negative energy.
Generally speaking, the best way to resist negative energy was to counteract it with positive energy. However, in the face of such a huge source of negative energy, it was unknown how much positive energy and divine power it would take to neutralize it!
But this was not a problem for Sui Xiong. Although the Force of Absolute Kindness looked similar to Positive Energy, it was actually of a higher level. This kind of power would not cancel out the negative energy. Instead, it would be like a solid dam, firmly blocking it.
Sui Xiong used the Force of Supreme Benevolence to build a cage and locked the corpse, which could be called the source of negative energy, inside it. He studied it slowly.
He had carefully inquired about the God who was buried under the Ashes Forest and knew a lot about him. This guy had an extraordinary origin and was one of the best among the ancient Gods. Back then, he was active in the era of the Goddess of Life. Because he insisted on the idea that "death is the end of everything," he tried to lead all living creatures and everything in the world to death. He offended many Gods and finally had a big battle with the Goddess of Life.
That battle was earth-shattering. At first, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle. Later, the Goddess of Life used her unique skill. A white light blew half of his body into pieces and even shattered his divinity. For a God, this almost meant death.
The dying God of Death dragged only half of his body and drilled into the underground in the northwest of the Main Plane. By right, the Goddess of Life should have taken advantage of the victory and completely destroyed him. But for some reason, the Goddess of Life stopped and then began to prepare the famous boundary.
Later, the boundary was completed and the Goddess of Life disappeared. Because the Gods were blocked by the boundary, they could not come with their real bodies to give this guy a final blow and completely end him. And if they sent their incarnations, they could not do anything to him because they did not have enough power. In the end, this matter was delayed.
The God of Death slowly accumulated power under the Ashes Forest, and the power of his corpse continued to spread, polluting the land above his head and forming the Ashes Forest.
This situation changed later, because a new God of Death appeared in the world.
The new God of Death's idea was completely different from the old God of Death's. He believed that everything was in an eternal cycle, and death was only a part of this cycle. Death was not the end. It was just a period of rest in the endless journey of the big cycle. When they were tired, they would rest for a while and then set off again. That was all.
The new God of Death's idea was recognized and welcomed by the Gods. Even the great Master of Order personally took action, stripping the part of the original power that originally belonged to the old God of Death and granting it to him.
At this time, the old God of Death completely lost the chance of resurrection. He could no longer accumulate power, and the land that he had polluted had finally reached its limit.
But he still had not been completely destroyed, until now.
"Can you give him to me?" Sui Xiong was just about to leave with the spoils of war when a shadow flashed beside him. The incarnation of the God of Death, wearing a hooded robe and carrying a long scythe on his back, had already appeared in front of him. "The conditions are negotiable."
This was not out of Sui Xiong's expectations. In other words, if the new God of Death did not come to him to buy the old God of Death's corpse, he would have been surprised.
Although the old God of Death's priesthood had long been inherited by the new God of Death, the old God of Death's corpse must still have his knowledge and understanding of death, and a little of his remaining divinity. This little bit of knowledge could not give the new God of Death any direct benefits, but it might give him inspiration and allow him to make a little more progress.
Of course, it was also possible that this old guy had completely fallen behind, and there was no information that the new God of Death could use on his corpse. Considering that he had been dead for such a long time, this possibility was actually not small.
But for the new God of Death, as long as there was a possibility of some progress, it was worth spending a lot of money to buy this corpse.
So Sui Xiong smiled, and he smiled very happily.
"Negotiable? I have always been a person who is negotiable, "he said with a smile. "However, this is not a suitable place to discuss. Why don't we find a place with a better environment and sit down and talk slowly? How about that?"
