Chapter 439

After gaining control of the Elven SIN, Xi Wei was no different from a child who had obtained his favorite toy, and was having the time of his life.

Changing the name was still basic, and he never got tired of doing something that would be a huge waste for most gods like sending an entire city up into the sky.

In Xi Wei's own words, a magical world without floating islands and sky cities was like a burger without lettuce.

As a result, he discovered that he had obtained the authority related to the 'sky' to a certain extent. After thinking about it, it was probably because Gaim City was flying in the sky, symbolizing that his believers had broken away from the shackles of the earth, so he had obtained this authority.

While there was no telling if that was the case, gaining some authority out of nowhere was not a bad thing, and Xi Wei was very happy about it.

It was worth mentioning that the holder of the authority of the sky was Sothor, the God of Sky and Thunder, one of the Seven Divine Fathers. There was no telling if he had noticed that Xi Wei had stolen some of his authority.

Including the Earthweaver and Lord Hades, Xi Wei had now offended three of the Seven Divine Fathers, and one more would be more than half …

Still, there was no need to worry when there were too many lice and too many debts. With things having come to this point, Xi Wei had long since pushed the matter to the back of his mind, intending to do his best to improve his divine power as soon as possible before the other gods realized what was going on.

"Come to think of it, the divinity of Ogayo, the God of Flowers and Fertile Lands, had given me some authority over the land. Now that Gaim of the Sky Horizon has given me some authority over the sky, doesn't that mean I have authority over heaven and earth?"

Even if that little bit of Authority wasn't enough, Xi Wei was still cheerfully designing new classes based on that aspect of Authority.

Moreover, Eleena's performance in the Elven SIN event was remarkable and did not disappoint Xi Wei who had appointed her as a Saintess-in-training.

Since she had grown and was no longer a loli who only knew how to eat lollipops, it was about time to design some tests for her, and pass them so that she would be officially promoted as the Saintess of the Church of Games.

In a church, whether or not there was a high-ranking priest as the backbone would have a great impact on the cohesiveness of the entire church.

Since Xi Wei had no intention of electing a new pope, having a Saintess around would be a good way to stabilize the believers.

Moreover, the Saintess would be the flag of the Church of Games, saving the Players from not knowing where to lean when they work together …

Incidentally, Xi Wei had thought about changing the name of the Church of Games to the Church of Gaim since the former felt too simple and direct. Whether he was working with other churches or fighting against them, he only needed to mention the name of his church for them to know who he was.

It certainly wouldn't be an issue if Xi Wei was one of the Seven Fathers, but he was just an intermediate god, and he was far from scaring his enemies with his name.

But after hesitating for a long time, Xi Wei decided to put that idea aside for now.

First of all, the name of the Church of Games had a certain degree of protection. It was just like how many churches would belittle Grimund, the God of Art and Travel, without knowing that Grimund's divine power was actually quite powerful. The name of the Church of Games was a subtle understatement, and once the enemy underestimated them, the Players would be able to defeat them easily in a favorable situation, or even turn the tables in a disadvantageous situation.

Moreover, there were no popes or bishops to handle trifling matters at the moment, and reminding the Church of Games to change its name through the forums or System messages felt like child's play. That was why a name change would have to wait until Xi Wei appointed a pope after his inspection.

"Still, Leah's performance in the event pales in comparison to Eleena."

Eleena, who was a Saintess-in-training who had been adventuring with Edward and the others as a special class had long since surpassed first-rate, and was the strongest Player in the truest sense.

On the other hand, while Leah the Warrior Princess was quite diligent, she was overprotected by Old Vanke and the others to the point that her combat awareness had declined considerably compared to when Xi Wei first met her. Her performance in the event did not even stand out compared to normal Players like Edward who had no special abilities, which left Xi Wei disappointed.

If this continued, how long would it take for the Players to rebuild their nation of Tierra?

"Should I just issue a main quest to guide them?" He mused, rubbing his tentacles where his chin was supposed to be.

At the moment, the average level of the Players had risen, and their overall ability had reached a bottleneck unless new Players were introduced in a short time. Moreover, aside from Life Players, most Players were already quite powerful.

Even if it was projected onto the continent, it could be considered a force that could not be ignored.

Moreover, the establishment of the Sky Horizon had given the Players an escape route, and the last bit of worry had been resolved.

If he wasn't wary of the three Divine Fathers who held a grudge against him and the possibility that the Players would come all the way here to blow him up after drawing their attention, Xi Wei would have had the Players play the Royal Path to conquer cities and territories …

"Either way, we'll keep a low profile for now. Let's start with recruiting troops and hoarding resources. We gods who grew up in the family of gardeners know the basic pattern of hoarding grain and slowly ascend to kingship."

"As for Zonyan, it's about time to take down the Grayclaw tribe and make it a base for the Players to settle down in the Western Continent and expand."

While the Long Ears' homeland was passable, it was too barren and simple, with no good produce around it. Many Players would be too lazy to go there after going there once or twice.

After all, even the seafood from the Dark Tide Coast, the only thing they had to offer, did not taste as good as the seafood from the Gray Fjord, and the frogmen who lived by the coast for generations were better at grilling seafood than the Long Ears' rabbitmen …

That was why in comparison, the Vierlin Plains where the Grayclaw tribe resided was more suitable as a base for the Players.

With that in mind, Xi Wei suddenly realized that he had a lot to do in the near future.

Just as he turned on the Pantheon Computer and began to think about what rewards he should offer to entice the Players to do things while thinking up the wording of his quests and typing away furiously, the divine power monitor he had set up outside his divine kingdom returned an obscure ripple.

Xi Wei was no stranger to him — it was Aslan, the God of Justice.

"Why would the Great Lion come here?"

Xi Wei muttered in confusion even as he dispelled the divine power trap he had set up.

In the end, Aslan barked once he entered Xi Wei's divine kingdom.

"Xi Wei, you're in trouble!"
