While Xi Wei's wager with the Lord of the Peaks ended in a rather hasty and even comical manner, it did not affect the final outcome — Xi Wei, the God of Games, was victorious.
"Your followers have done a good job."
Aslan the Great Lion soon ran to Xi Wei's divine kingdom to congratulate him. "And here I thought that they would be at a disadvantage for a while, before finally winning with that weird revival ability."
If the Great Lion who had a certain understanding of the Players' ability thought so, the other gods were naturally surprised by the outcome as well.
After all, on paper, the Church of Games had too few believers. Even if they included shallow believers who had yet to awaken their system, there would only be two to three thousand of them.
On the other hand, the Lord of the Peaks' believers had three sizable hill-folk settlements around Valla alone, with the weakest of them having around that number of warriors.
In the end, the players won the battle.
Even Xi Wei himself didn't expect it.
He had thought that the death rate of the Players would be quite high. After all, there were quite a lot of hill-natives, and they would be able to overwhelm and kill many of the Players with the sea of monsters.
Coincidentally, Terry and Jom, who were out on a bounty mission, managed to fool the Scepter of the Temple of Glory. As a result, the Temple of Glory interfered and annihilated the strongest of the three highland tribes.
As a result, when the players gathered together and fought against the other group of natives, they felt rather dull in comparison …
Be that as it may, a win was a win.
Since Xi Wei didn't want to expose the location of his divine kingdom, Aslan the Great Lion simply helped him find an abandoned divine kingdom to trade.
Unlike the ruins of the Invisible Pantheon's Divine Kingdom, the ruins of this Divine Kingdom were on the verge of collapse. It was probably because of this that after it was discovered, no gods intended to lay their hands on this place.
With the experience of participating in the gathering of the Invisible Pantheon and his ability reaching the level of an Intermediate God, Xi Wei's journey across the divine realm was much easier.
With the Great Lion leading the way, he soon arrived at the remains of the divine kingdom.
Soon, the Lord of the Peaks arrived as well.
The figure looked a little like Magni Bronzebeard from the World of Warcraft, but it was more than three meters tall, and its skin did not have the texture of a living creature. It looked more like it was smeared with a layer of cement and rolled around in a quarry.
He had no eyes, and his face was made of rocks and moss-like things. When he spoke, his voice rumbled like thunder.
"That's not fair!" The Lord of the Peaks exclaimed.
"The believers of Kratos (the God of War) participated in this battle! If I ask Lord Earthweaver to order his believers to help me, I won't lose either! But it was dishonorable, so I didn't do it! " He shouted, "Only a weird-looking ball like you would do such a despicable thing! Therefore, I do not recognize the result of this wager! "
Xi Wei thought to himself, 'It's not your place to say that other people look weird, right?' At the same time, he defended himself. "I didn't ask for the God of War's help. The outcome is the choice of the believers themselves."
Though he did not expect the Lord of the Peaks to go back on his words, Xi Wei more or less guessed that the Lord of the Peaks would use the Temple of Glory's interference as a bargaining chip, which was why he had already prepared an excuse. "I naturally wouldn't say anything if your believers could ask the believers of the Earth Church for help."
At those words, a crescent-shaped crack appeared over Ji Si's spherical face as if he was mocking the Lord of the Peaks. Patting his own spherical surface with his tentacle, he then said with a tone of 'sudden realization', "Oh, look at my bad memory. Your hill-folk believers are a bunch of bandits who would not shrink from any crime. The Earth Church had already drawn a clear line between them and your believers, so how could they help us?!"
"Damn it, your Master God definitely didn't teach you to be more respectful to the gods who are higher than you!"
The Lord of the Peaks flew into a rage out of humiliation, divine power surging over his body.
As a veteran Intermediate God and a subordinate deity of the Earthweaver, one of the Seven Divine Fathers, the Lord of the Peaks was clearly much more powerful than a newbie Intermediate God like Xi Wei.
If Ji Si were to fight with him alone, he would definitely suffer a great loss from this sudden attack.
Even so, he was not alone this time — in fact, he would not have traded with the Lord of the Peaks face-to-face if he was alone.
"Hold it, Rock Head!"
Aslan the Lion of Justice bellowed in rage, the mane over his neck fluttering despite the absence of wind. His majestic appearance directly subdued the enraged Lord of the Peaks, keeping him from acting recklessly. * * * * * *
"Just protect it, Aslan! Just like how a cat likes to play with a ball of yarn! " The Lord of the Peaks hesitated for a long time, but ultimately did not dare to attack Aslan, the most powerful deity beneath the Greater Gods, and could only shoot off his mouth.
"As promised, hand over your divine power!" Aslan continued bellowing.
"I refuse! Come at me if you want to, I won't resist! " The Lord of the Peaks bellowed, refusing to back down even in the face of defeat. "But remember, you're hurting a subordinate deity of a Divine Father!"
Aslan was clearly a little wary of the Earthweaver's existence as well, and both sides thus fell into a stalemate.
Just as Xi Wei was about to see if he could extract some information from the Lord of the Peaks, or have him use some divine item that was useless to him as a substitute, an incomparable fear suddenly arose in Xi Wei's heart.
Like a small raft amidst raging waves or an ant amidst a forest fire, the unfathomable horror around him directly gripped his spirit, and even his divinity was quaking slightly.
Then, a frightening divine power arose outside the divine kingdom. The divine power that had seeped into the remains of the divinity was already far beyond Xi Wei's reach in both quality and quantity!
At the same time, the already tottering remains of the divine kingdom finally could not hold on even if the Lord of the Peaks was not deliberately exerting pressure, and began to shatter!
Even without seeing the face of the Lord of the Peaks, Xi Wei realized something — the Lord of the Peaks was laughing maniacally in front of him!
The three-meter-tall stone dwarf raised what appeared to be his hands up high, and shouted at the skies of the cracked divine kingdom:
