"Divine Injustice, Eternal Pain …"
Xi Wei smacked his lips and thought about the name, deciding that it was much more awesome than trash like Rotten Bones. "Then she must be very powerful."
Aslan, however, shook his massive lion head. "No. In fact, as a newborn Evil God, Eternal Pain is very weak. In comparison, she's probably as noob as you when we first met."
"I'm sorry I was so noob the first time we met!" Xi Wei pouted.
"It's fine. In fact, even though I knew that you weren't simple and wouldn't stay at the bottom, I didn't expect you to rise up to the second tier so quickly. Your growth is truly astonishing."
The Great Lion sighed in awe as he smoothed his fur with his tongue.
"Either way, the girl who turned into an Evil God is the Finnia I mentioned before, right?"
Xi Wei then took out his own brew of absinthe (90%), Water of Life (96% whiskey) and Polish vodka (92%, medical alcohol is 75%), and began to mix the Great Lion's drink again.
"That's right. She lost her mind after turning into an Evil God and tried to bring chaos to the world." The Great Lion spat out a furball. "There wasn't such a strong barrier between the mortal realm and the divine realm back then, and the other gods didn't want to get involved. In the end, I was the one who personally went down and killed her."
"Why didn't the other gods do it?" Xi Wei asked curiously. He would definitely do it if it were him. "Isn't divinity and divine power good?"
"Divine Injustice is special. She was a being abandoned by all the gods in the first place, and even if she turned into an Evil God, her divinity and divine power are like poison to the other gods."
The Great Lion shook his head, his thick mane rippling. "There's no benefit if you simply absorb it, and it would even contaminate your own divinity."
Xi Wei smacked his lips after absorbing Aojo's divine energy, but didn't feel any discomfort.
Hence, he asked, "Wasn't the Third Age destroyed by the War of Gods and Demons? Why would anyone in this age know about Finnia? "
The Great Lion stayed silent for a long time before sighing heavily.
"It's my fault."
"When I killed [Divine Injustice], I learned of her past and felt pity for her. She also begged for mercy when I was about to kill her."
"It's not that she's begging to live on. For her, death might be the real release. It's just that after being abandoned by a god, she can't accept that she's going to fall like a god. She hopes that I can kill her as a human."
"I agree."
"So I cut up her divine body and scattered it into the volcanic acid pool in the lower realm to melt it. I gouged out her divinity and used my divine kingdom as a pestle and the Prime Material Plane as a mortar to completely crush it and throw it into the void to fend for itself. Finally, I used my power of justice to refine her divine power and turned her back into a mortal before killing her."
"Now that I think about it, a shard of divinity must have passed through the barrier of the world and reached the Prime Material Plane. By a freak combination of factors, it awakened the divine remains that could not be completely melted away, and that led to the rebirth of Finnia's Evil God power."
Sylvie was silent.
The joy he felt from breaking through his shackles and ascending as an Intermediate God had faded considerably.
While he knew that the Great Lion was powerful and was at the top of the Intermediate Gods, he didn't expect him to be this powerful …
'Using my divine kingdom as a pestle and the Prime Material Plane as a mortar' sounded so nice, but to put it plainly, wasn't he just swinging his divine kingdom and smashing it into the Prime Material Plane?!
It's just that there's an Evil God's divinity between the divine kingdom and the Prime Material Plane.
Do you really have to do that? Why don't you use an atomic bomb to eat a walnut?!
It was after a long while that Xi Wei asked carefully. "Should I have my believers help you dig out the cult of [Divine Injustice]?"
"No need. It's a problem I left behind, and I'll think of a way to deal with it."
The Great Lion refused without hesitation. "You don't have to worry about it."
"Wait a minute. If Finnia is referring to the Evil God of [Divine Injustice], what does Silver Oak mean?"
Sylvie then asked.
"There's no need to beat around the bush." The Great Lion replied, fiddling with the furball he spat out with his claws. "Silver Oak is an ornamental plant that only the Silver Dragons would cultivate, but it went extinct in the Second Age. There's probably no Silver Oak in the mortal realm now."
"That's it?" Xi Wei was utterly doubtful.
He didn't think that a phrase that Aojo would shout out like a slogan would be so meaningless.
"Of course it's not just that." The Great Lion's expression turned solemn. "We have to go back to the Second Era. At that time, the mortal races and the gods were not as estranged and distinct as' humans to humans, and gods to gods' in the future. At the time, many of the gods preferred to live with the mortals in the mortal realm. "
"At that time, there was a God of Steel. He was arrogant and conceited. One time, when he was drunk, he said to the people, 'You are too weak. Look at me. Even without the protection of divine power, my body is as hard as steel and invincible.'"
"A Silver Dragon who was passing by was very displeased when he heard those words. He wanted to teach the arrogant God of Steel a lesson, so he asked the Dragon God he worshipped to bless the silver oak branch that he had cultivated, giving it the power to harm the gods. After that, he brought the silver oak branch to the God of Steel and used his words to agitate the drunken God of Steel so that he agreed to a bet with him. Without using divine power, the Silver Dragon would stab him with the silver oak branch.
"What he did not expect was that the silver oak branch was swapped by another deity who had a grudge against the God of Steel, and it was imbued with potent divine poison. When the silver oak branch pierced the God of Steel's body, he could not react in time, and the divine poison eroded his divinity, killing him on the spot."
When the Great Lion said that, Xi Wei more or less understood why the Silver Oak went extinct.
Even if it wasn't the main reason, the Silver Oak had definitely killed a god, and the wager was probably carried out in front of everyone, directly elevating the Silver Oak from a mundane plant to an existence that could 'slay gods'. Although the gods could resist that effect with their Rule Resistance, it definitely posed a certain threat to them.
Naturally, the gods wouldn't let such a thing exist, and so secretly pushed for its complete extinction.
Perhaps even the Silver Dragons, which were the rarest of all true dragons, had something to do with that lost past.
"The cult your believers ran into didn't just worship [Divine Injustice] Finnia, it even knew about the Silver Oak. It's probably plotting something big." At this moment, Furball, who was in the lion's paw, had already taken on the appearance of a small lion doll. "This is my clone. Hold it well, and if you need anything in the future, just tell it directly. Compared to the original Furball, this method of communication is more secretive and reliable. Also, it's a backup plan. "
"Your wine is ready. Don't you want to try it?"
Xi Wei extended his tentacles to receive the doll, and handed him a cup filled with wine.
The Great Lion snapped his fingers with his enlarged cat claw, and the cup in Xi Wei's tentacle burst into pale blue flames.
"I don't want to drink wine that can ignite a fire. You should give it to Stoff (God of Craftsmanship and Fine Wine)."
With that, Aslan laughed and left Xi Wei's divine kingdom.
"Fine, fine. It's such a waste to burn it."
Xi Wei sheepishly retracted his tentacles after seeing the Great Lion embarrass himself after failing to trick him.
At that moment, the doppelganger doll that Big Lion gave him also moved on its own.
Xi Wei sensed it a little and realized that it was essentially a golem, although it didn't seem to be very smart and could only do simple things.
Although he wasn't sure what the Great Lion meant by a backup plan, Xi Wei had a feeling that it was used to keep an eye on him.
Hence, the uninhibited and freedom-loving Xi Wei immediately carved out a small space in his divine kingdom and built a cat playground, before throwing the doll inside …
"Trying to keep an eye on me, Aslan!"
