At first, Xi Wei was so frightened by the Great Lion that he rolled on the ground three times, believing that the furry face of the Thunder God … no, a Divine Father level deity had come knocking.
Still, he quickly calmed down. Judging from the Great Lion's reaction, things weren't that bad.
In fact, Aslan probably wouldn't be in the mood to joke with Xi Wei if that really happened.
"So, what happened?" Xi Wei asked.
"I thought you'd be more scared …" Aslan sighed regretfully with a 'that's all?' look on his big furry face.
"I'm very busy. If you want someone to joke with you, go find the other gods of the Invisible Pantheon."
Xi Wei was even more certain that it was nothing serious when he saw Aslan's expression.
"It's not a big deal, but the Lord of the Peaks said that your believers killed his spawn and stole a treasure he had set his eyes on in the mortal realm."
Aslan said lazily as he found a relatively clean spot in Xi Wei's messy divine kingdom and lay down like a big cat, licking his fur as he spoke lazily.
"Nonsense!" Xi Wei waved his tentacles indignantly. "I'll admit that I killed his spawn, but stealing his treasure is all nonsense!"
After all, the Players did kill a Barren Giant in its puberty, and while it wasn't a big deal, the grudge was already set.
At the time, Xi Wei was still a rookie god who only dared to hide behind the Great Lion, afraid that the Lord of the Peaks would seek revenge. Moreover, the Earthweaver, one of the Seven Divine Fathers was standing behind the Lord of the Peaks.
Still, Xi Wei relaxed after the Lord of the Peaks didn't do anything for a long time.
Come to think of it, even if the barren giants were few in number, there were still thousands of them in the many planes, it was almost like a breeding ground. If one didn't purposely count them, they wouldn't even notice if one or two were missing. Not to mention that the barren giant was killed by the players, all Xi Wei did was tie it up and spread its legs a little, so that it would have some residual energy left in its body …
As for the treasure, it was complete nonsense. Treasures in the eyes of mortals were nothing to the gods, and why would there be any treasure that the gods would covet in the mortal realm?
Beside him, the great lion yawned lazily as he voiced out his thoughts.
"No, the treasure he mentioned really exists … Didn't you get a new toy recently?"
"You mean … the Elven SIN that he has his eyes on?"
Xi Wei did a double take, and only then did he realize that he really did have a masterpiece of the mortal realm, and it would be something incredible even in the realm of the gods.
Others aside, the divinity of the Elven Synchronized Intellect Nation alone was enough to make most gods drool.
"To be precise, he has been asking his believers to search for it, but after more than a thousand years, they have not found it." There was no telling if the Great Lion was mocking the Lord of the Peaks for being noobs or his believers for being noobs, but he simply made a funny, mocking face. "Relying on the prestige of the Earthweaver to intimidate others and not managing your own church properly, this is the end result."
At first, Xi Wei had wanted to remind the Great Lion that he had very few believers, and that he had the highest number of worshippers for years.
Still, when he remembered the villains who were hunted down by the believers of the Temple of Justice and feared that they would be put on trial, Xi Wei obediently kept his mouth shut.
The Lord of the Peaks had few believers and a high rate of death and treachery, but his believers were so active!
Even if the Temple of Justice had less than a hundredth of the Temple of Glory's believers, its reputation would not lose out to the Temple of Glory. In fact, the first people who thought of the Temple of Justice was not their own church, but the believers of the Temple of Justice.
Such was the reputation that Aslan, the God of Justice and his believers had accumulated over a thousand years.
"So, what does that guy want? Do you want to fight him? "
Xi Wei asked.
After some time of accumulation and absorbing the divinity of the Elven SIN, Xi Wei's divine power had improved greatly even if he did not ascend to intermediate deity, and his divinity had become much more solid.
If they really had to fight, he would not fear the Lord of the Peaks at all as long as the guardian of the Lord of the Peaks did not join the fray.
"The Lord of the Peaks is an idiot who looks strong but is actually weak, while you have weak kidneys. It would definitely be interesting to watch a fight between the two of you."
The Great Lion was also aware that Xi Wei often used his divine energy to improve the ability of his believers and craft unusual equipment for them. That was why he had less divine energy than other gods of the same level, and from a certain perspective, he did have 'weak kidneys'.
"Unfortunately, I can't." The Great Lion made an X sign with his two thick forelegs. "The atmosphere in the Divine Kingdom is a little tense right now, and to be frank, there's only one fuse before the Fourth Divine War."
The Great Lion then explained even as Xi Wei stared at him in confusion. "If the two of you were to suddenly start a big fight, it would definitely agitate some of the more neurotic gods in the first place, which could easily trigger the current state of affairs and directly trigger the Fourth Divine War … although there's no telling how the Fourth Divine War would go, the two of you would definitely be targeted and killed by the other gods in the early stages since you are the instigators of the divine war."
"If we can't start a fight, does that mean we're going to have a civil duel?" Xi Wei's tentacles were waving even faster now, and the transmigrator who had gone through nine years of compulsory education was fearless. "I'm good at that. Whether it's a couplet, a hundred thousand whys, or even physics, chemistry, or geometry, I'm fine with it. Let the Lord of the Peaks come at me!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Clearly, civil duels were not popular in this world, and Aslan was looking at Xi Wei who was about to turn into a jellyfish as if he was an idiot. "Since the gods can't fight, we would have to compete with believers."
"What?" Xi Wei did a double take, his tentacles tangling together as if having a cramp, and he even tied a bow by reflex.
"The Lord of the Peaks has asked a neutral god to speak with me," the Great Lion said with a look that said 'the Emperor has asked me to pass a message to you'. "He intends to mobilize his believers to attack that toy of yours. If your believers can defend it, then he'll lose, and we'll let bygones be bygones. On the other hand, if your believers can't defend it, then it'll be his. "
Xi Wei scratched the sphere with his tentacles, thinking that the Lord of the Peaks was a simpleton.
The Sky Horizon would be a little troublesome if the Lord of the Peaks directly switched cities without a word. But now that it was obvious that they were coming to attack the city, would the Players really lose their main game city?
Moreover, the Sky Horizon itself was a weapon against worlds, and its ability was formidable.
Xi Wei couldn't help calming down at that thought, but he still pretended to be troubled. "This bet isn't in my favor. Why don't you talk to him and see if this works …"
