After some consideration, Xi Wei agreed to Flintman's request.
Of course, since the interior of his divine kingdom was rather unique, he did not intend to open it all to Flintman. Before Flintman entered his divine kingdom, he cleared out a small space and isolated it from the rest of his divine kingdom.
Xi Wei had learned the technique of isolating divine kingdom space when he built the Players' little black hut and the dungeon he built with the remains of Rotten Bones' divine kingdom. Now that he was familiar with the process, he quickly completed it.
Moreover, Xi Wei also secretly contacted the Great Lion, intending to have him watch over the place.
After all, Flintman appeared to be much stronger than Xi Wei on the surface, and Xi Wei would have a hard time dealing with him on his own if he wanted to mess things up.
After all, even though Xi Wei had felt a sense of danger after the last conference with the Invisible Pantheon and had begun to prepare a trump card for the divine war, the reason a trump card was called a trump card was because aside from its immense power, the price to use it was also very high.
And Xi Wei did not want to waste it on such a place if he did not have to.
It was a pity that the Great Lion was busy with official business and couldn't spare the time to boost Xi Wei's courage. Moreover, according to the Great Lion, Flintman was a good god aside from stealing the Fire God's Authority even though he was an Anti-God. Being a member of the same Divine Alliance, he definitely wouldn't attack Xi Wei.
To put it bluntly, Flintman's first target was the God of Fire, a Greater God, and he had wandered around for five hundred years without being killed. The Authority of a noob god like Xi Wei was nothing to him …
Be that as it may, the Great Lion's train of thought was correct, but Xi Wei knew himself best.
His patchwork Authority that resembled a monster stitched together certainly wouldn't catch the Fire Stealer's eyes, but the problem was that Xi Wei himself had another Authority apart from the God of Games' messy Authority.
The Authority of Transcendence.
It was precisely this Authority that didn't cost any extra energy to cross the world's barrier that allowed Xi Wei to indulge his believers — the Players — in the mortal realm, even when his divine energy was less than a thousandth of the other gods and his income was in the red.
If it had been any other deity that followed his playstyle, there was an 80% chance that the grass on their graves would have grown to three feet tall by now …
Moreover, the Transmigration Authority also ignored the iron rules set by the Trinity of High Saints, allowing Xi Wei's true form to cross the Barrier and head to the Prime Material Plane. As long as Xi Wei willed it, he wouldn't have to stay in his Divine Kingdom all the time, and could simply go down and have fun with his believers.
It was fortunate that Xi Wei understood the gravity of the situation. He was aware that he would be happy hanging out with the Players, and as a god, he could easily show off and slap all sorts of faces in the mortal realm, living as a true transmigrator should be.
But if he did that, he would be dazzled by the joy in front of him and easily lose sight of the bigger picture. He wouldn't be able to grasp various opportunities or react to certain situations. In the end, he would either fall in the fourth divine war, or provoke an enemy he shouldn't provoke and be punished by being sent to the prime material plane to kill him.
He had gone off topic.
One way or another, the Transmigration Authority was a golden cake among delicious cakes for any god.
Not to mention Flintman the Fire Stealer, whose divine power was equal to an Intermediate God, even the Seven Divine Fathers, who stood at the pinnacle of the gods would think of a way to seize Xi Wei's authority if they knew about it.
"Your Divine Kingdom … looks so narrow."
After entering Xi Wei's divine kingdom, Flintman said after studying the vast world around him.
Xi Wei could immediately tell from his tone that it wasn't a complaint, but a tease that was closer to 'I know you're hiding something'.
Still, Flintman clearly knew what was good for him and didn't say anything rude like 'show me'.
Seeing that Xi Wei had no intention of continuing, he shrugged. "My Divine Kingdom is quite big. Want to go there next time?"
"We'll talk about it after you deal with the God of Flames."
Xi Wei declined without hesitation.
That's right. Flintman had established his own Divine Kingdom after ascending as a god, and was then chased all over the divine realm by the God of Flames. It was probably an unfinished divine kingdom even now.
Flintman didn't mind Xi Wei's rather impolite tone, and continued to ask, "I heard that you and Luna had reached an … uh, agreement on arms for war?"
"What kind of agreement is that? Only those who claim to be the world's police but are actually warmongers would come up with … The agreement I made with the Silver Moon Goddess is a strategic partnership trial agreement."
Xi Wei couldn't help complaining.
"Yes, yes, that's it! A strategic blah blah blah!" Flintman clearly didn't remember the full name of the agreement, and said nonchalantly, "To put it simply, the wood elves could worship your church now, right?"
"… That's right, but the wood elves are too conservative. It's basically impossible for them to worship a new church."
Xi Wei sighed.
That was precisely the problem with longevity. Just like how people tend to reminisce about the past as they age and become more stubborn, the wood elves who were over a hundred years old were also a race that followed the rules and respected tradition, which was why it was harder than reaching for the skies to convert them.
That was why Xi Wei didn't issue quests to persuade the elves, and instead relied on the weekly quests to encourage the Players to develop their faith in human cities and recruit reliable new believers.
"By the way, what does that have to do with you?" Xi Wei asked, scratching the ball with his tentacles.
"Didn't Aslan tell you?" Flintman brushed aside his black hair that resembled a dirty braid to reveal his pointy ears. "Because I was a wood elf before I became a god."
"Wow." Xi Wei exclaimed meaninglessly.
Indeed, he had assumed that Flintman had become a god as a human before this, and didn't expect him to be an elf …
Still, there was nothing to be troubled about when he thought about it.
Compared to humans, elves had the advantage of longer lifespans. Most of the time, humans would die of old age before they could even accumulate enough knowledge. On the other hand, elves would learn all sorts of musical instruments and arts out of boredom due to their long lifespans. This even gave birth to a unique art system that was completely different from that of humans.
That was why elves definitely had a higher chance of understanding miracles, ascending to Legend and seizing Authority to forge divinity.
"That's why I hope you could take care of my brethren …" Flintman said.
"Shouldn't you be asking Luna, the Silver Moon Goddess? She's much stronger than I am. "Xi Wei couldn't help feeling puzzled.
"I don't know why … but I have the feeling that you have more potential than Luna. That's why I'm asking you. " Flintman replied seriously. "Of course, I won't admit that after I leave this place! It's useless even if you report me to Luna! "
He was about to say something, but he suddenly scrunched up his face and swallowed the words he was about to say.
Even Flintman, who had been nonchalant ever since he entered Xi Wei's divine kingdom, became serious.
The conversation between the two gods was thus cut short, and the empty space fell into an unusual silence.
The reason for that was simple: a certain powerful and frightening being was slowly passing through the outskirts of Xi Wei's divine kingdom.
