Shock! The true form of the Bizarre Rotting Maggots was actually a Vulcan's believer whose body had been taken over by the maggots of Ignizdorag!
Well, Xi Wei had actually predicted this to a certain extent, but he just didn't expect things to be this bad.
He scratched his round body and head with his tentacles.
Come to think of it, where did the Vulcan's corpse go?
The Great Lion had mentioned that the Fire Stealer had left Ignizdorag's corpse in the Void where it could be easily discovered.
But the problem was that the 'easily discovered Void' was only a relative term.
The Void was boundless, and the many divine kingdoms were no more than insignificant bubbles within it. Finding the Vulcan's corpse in the boundless Void was simply too difficult.
That being said, since the other gods in the divine realm had confirmed the Vulcan's death, it meant that the other gods had found his corpse.
In other words, the Vulcan's corpse could very well be in the hands of a certain divine clan.
But if that was the case, the situation in the mortal realm right now was very strange.
Even if the divine clans were different and viewed each other as enemies, the relationship between the gods was equal.
Ignizdorag's death at Flintman's hands was something that many gods mourned for.
That being the case, allowing the Vulcan's corpse to spawn maggots and devour his believers was clearly abnormal.
Moreover, Xi Wei knew why the Vulcan's corpse would spawn maggots in the divine realm where there were no flies.
The reason was simple: the gods themselves were beings born of human belief, a concept formed from a concept that could be described as the essence of a phenomenon.
Therefore, in the subconscious of many uneducated people, maggots would spawn from the corpses of animals after they die, a concept that was projected into the divine realm, which led to the Vulcan's situation.
It should also be mentioned that there were no bacteria or fungi in the divine realm, and not even air existed in many divine kingdoms. That was why corpses would theoretically not rot, but if a god's body was not taken care of after their death, it would rot after some time. It was a situation caused by the impression that humans, or most intelligent beings, had.
In short, the situation of Ignizdorag's believers was not quite right.
Be that as it may, Xi Wei was not a Reclining Chair Divine Detective who could guess everything without leaving his house. While he could learn most of the situation in the mortal realm from his believers, he was a shut-in among the gods who knew nothing about the current state of affairs in the divine realm.
"I wonder how Big Lion is doing now …"
Due to the fact that they had exchanged information so quickly, Xi Wei didn't have the time to tell him a lot of information, which was why he didn't know about things that weren't really secrets.
"I need the help of other gods!"
The current situation was tense, and a war between the gods could break out at any moment. It was obviously impossible to seek help from other God Systems, so the only people who could obtain clues were the few Gods of the Invisible Pantheon.
After handing over a portion of his divinity to the Great Lion, Aslan, the God of Justice, Xi Wei also gained control over the Invisible Pantheon and became the new God of Governance.
"As expected, Flintman the Fire Stealer is no longer on the Invisible Pantheon's list."
He might have used some ability to hide his name, or perhaps Flintman was a fake name to begin with.
Excluding the Great Lion Aslan and himself, there were only four gods left on the Invisible Pantheon's list.
Luna, the Silver Luna
Scarlet Luna, the Red Lunar Goddess
Gurus, the God of the Hunt
Stoff, the God of Craftsmanship and Fine Wine
Of the two Moon Goddesses, Luna, the Silver Moon Goddess had a better relationship with him and even worked with him to a certain extent, with some of her wood elf believers becoming his followers.
As for Scarlet Luna, Xi Wei had never met her even once.
Gurus, the God of Craftsmanship and Fine Wine, had seen her in a gathering and felt that she wasn't easy to talk to.
Lastly, Stoff, the God of Craftsmanship and Fine Wine was closer to Xi Wei, and Xi Wei's cola had received high praise from him.
Should he visit him with two bottles of Maotai and see if he could get some valuable information?
At the very least, he had to know which god had the Fire God's corpse fallen into.
"Come to think of it, I have a small portion of the First Flame too …"
Although that power was given to him by the Fire Thief, he still owed the Vulcan a favor. If he could, he should at least free the Vulcan's corpse from being eaten by maggots.
Taking a step back, even if he didn't have such a righteous cause, the Vulcan's corpse would still be of great help to him as he possessed the First Flame and a portion of the Vulcan's Authority. Perhaps after consuming the Vulcan's corpse, he would be able to wrestle with the Fire Thief for the Fire Authority.
☆
"You should give up on that idea."
Stoff, the God of Craftsmanship and Fine Wine, said mercilessly after Xi Wei explained his plan to Stoff.
"What's wrong?"
Xi Wei asked, confused.
"The Vulcan's corpse is in the hands of Lucia, the Lord of the Dark."
Stoff replied.
I see.
Xi Wei went silent at once.
Of all the people he couldn't afford to offend, apart from Lionte, the God of Light, and Kratos, the God of War, who was second only to him, Lucia, the Lord of the Dark, was probably the third.
After all, the biggest reason why the players could be revived was because Xi Wei had secretly cut off the normal process of death for the players. In a sense, it was equivalent to playing with the souls of the dead. It was a provocation to the tyrant who had once killed the first God of Death and usurped the power of Death.
Xi Wei was sure that the only reason why the Lord of the Dark had yet to rush up and smash his head was because he didn't know about this …
Once the Lord of the Dark knew that Xi Wei had taken over the power of Death, the God of Death would probably be happy to kill him and add to his collection of divinity.
"Alright."
Xi Wei could only choose to give up.
But on the other hand, since the Vulcan's corpse was in the hands of the Lord of the Dark, who didn't communicate with other gods, it meant that even if he interfered with the Vulcan's believers, he wouldn't provoke the other gods and cause the Fourth Divine War to erupt!
In other words, the players who had been waiting for a long time could finally start their new activities!
