Chapter 170

Abyss was the base camp of primeval energy that formed each and every world. Those were completely chaotic lands. Even though they were brought under control by Sui Xiong, even if Sui Xiong bestowed order upon the land, he wouldn’t be able to change its nature.

If he couldn’t resolve the issue, even if he forced the place to become a holy kingdom, after the believers’ souls entered they would only turn into devils.

Sui Xiong believed that among his believers, maybe there were some psychopaths, but this ‘maybe’ would probably be superfluous. Maybe there were crazy people but his ‘maybe’ seemed to be superfluous. Maybe there were utilitarians but his ‘maybe’ might still be superfluous. But, regardless of psychopaths, crazy people or utilitarians, they still wouldn’t want to become devils.

What did devils look like? Every one of them looked repulsive and neurotic. Their limbs would always be twitching. The worst was that quite a number of devils suffered from mouth impairments. Most of the time they would only wear contorted smiles as their saliva drooled all over.

To let his believers turn into such things? What would be the difference between this and the pay to play fraud that conned for retirees’ pension!

Sui Xiong would definitely not do anything embarrassing like that. Try to imagine, when a bunch of people who were crossing borders sat down to chat together and talked about their achievements. If one said, “I have made great contributions and accomplished great tasks in ancient times and opened up the biggest empire in human history,” another said, “I have become a muggle mage in Strange World, punched the God of Light and kicked the Supreme Devil,” another said, “I researched magic, I wrote theses that exploded people’s brains,” and then another one said, “I cultivated myself into an immortal and created everything on earth.” Then, when it was his turn, he would say, “I did something small, I am a cheater that conned souls and sent them to become devils.”

Hey! This is so embarrassing! Even if I became a cosplayer, pretended to be Vegeta today and pretended to be Saint Seiya tomorrow, I would only be considered as infringing on someone else’s rights at most; but not losing my dignity!

Sui Xiong shook his head and dismissed all those ideas, then pondered seriously on what he should do.

But he had no solutions.

The chaos in the Abyss had its fixed attributes. With Sui Xiong’s talent, to correct the fixed attributes, it would require at least 1,000, or tens of thousands of years.

In such a long time, the souls of his believers would be so full that even the altar wouldn’t be able to fit them. With so much free time, he might as well build his own holy kingdom.

Plus, the problems were more than that. The world was located in the Abyss. The chaotic power was everywhere, corroding it. The speed of Sui Xiong’s purification might not be as fast as its corrosion.

“First, I have to figure out a way to drag it out of the Abyss.”

Sui Xiong mumbled to himself and took a different standpoint.

Among the various worlds that were piling up messily like building blocks, he saw that there was one that was giving off an entirely different light from the other worlds. The light had a sense of magical harmoniousness that didn’t go well with the surrounding worlds.

“Alright, first, let me cut off its connections with all the other worlds.”

Sui Xiong activated his controlling power towards the world and tried to cut off its connections with the surrounding worlds, but he realized that the connections were unusually tight-knit and difficult to cut off.

After pondering for a while, he opted for simple but crude way, which was to cut off its connection with all the other worlds internally; give it up and abandon it.

The method was effective. In a short time span, he cut off almost all the connections of the world with the surrounding worlds, but left the one connected to the World of Scorching Heat.

“Then… what should I do next?”

He was lost.

Not knowing how long he spent thinking, he finally certified that he really couldn’t figure out any next step.

Hence, he contacted the God of Justice.

“Huh? You are not resting over there, but ran to other Abyss worlds?” The God of Justice was lying on the bench in the theme park plaza to take a nap, even pretending to be a homeless man to con a kind-hearted staff member for a meal. He jumped up and suddenly shouted, “Don’t you want to live anymore?!”

“Huh? Is it dangerous? I don’t find it dangerous…” Sui Xiong said in distress. The so-called “King of Abyss” ain’t that strong either, I knocked it down with a few blows.”

“I’m not talking about the King of Abyss! I am talking about corrosion of the Abyss’s attributes!” The God of Justice regretted that Sui Xiong did not live up to his expectations and spat, “Can’t you feel it? I have polished the World of Scorching Heat, especially the blood pool. It basically lost its chaotic attributes. But once you leave the blood pool, you should be able to feel the corrosion of the Abyss’s attributes. Especially if you ran to other worlds! What is the difference between this and jumping into a dye tub naked! Do you intend to dye yourself sh*t color?”

“How is it as severe as that…”

“To us Gods, there is no difference between Abyss attributes and sh*t! You don’t want to stay human but want to turn yourself into a fly. For what?!”

“…But I am a jellyfish.”

“A jellyfish that was dyed in sh*t color!”

Sui Xiong didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh but he could feel the concern of his brother from the scolding. Sui Xiong could only explain to Him. Of course, there were many times that he was responded to by the God of Justice with “idiot,””psychopath,” and “pig-like idea.”

When He heard that Sui Xiong was fine and successfully conquered an Abyss world, and even pondered changing its attributes and sending it back to the main dimension to become a holy kingdom, the God of Justice was dumbstruck.

“…Are you sure that you are perfectly normal and not corroded by the power of the Abyss, and turned crazy?”

“I am very well.”

“You should take a look at your limbs first, to check if there are any scales or claws.”

“I am a jellyfish, where do I find my limbs?”

“No way. I am still worried!” The God of Justice mumbled. He made a bad clone temporarily for communication, and jumped into the heart blood pool in a hurry.

He had only just arrived when He felt something was wrong.

Among the Abyss’s attributes that flooded the world, why were there things that were inharmonious?

But it couldn’t be called inharmonious. It was actually something that He was familiar with. It was divine power, and a kind divine power.

But, in the Abyss that was filled with chaotic power, any divine power would be eliminated very quickly. How could there be any left over?

He searched along the direction of the kind divine power and he found the world that Sui Xiong seized control of.

In the space crack at the border of the two worlds, there were a constant steady flow of kind divine power, like a gush of freshwater that gushed into the sea. Although it blended into the surrounding chaos very quickly, it left a clear trace behind.

“Unless… my silly brother didn’t bullshit? He really did it?” The God of Justice stood next to the space and day dreamt. He finally jumped over as He couldn’t suppress His curiosity.

He saw a vast open country that was full of bumps and hollows. A flatland seemed to be chewed on by some sort of huge monsters, leaving chips on the ground. The big ones seemed to cut off the entire world while the small ones were a light layer.

Countless devils were fighting randomly on the piece of barren land. They were so busy fighting that they didn’t even notice His arrival.

It definitely wasn’t normal. Devils were very sensitive towards divine power. Once there was God that came near, all the devils would immediately put down the task on hand and launch an attack at the God all together. Even if the strong God were to kill them all, the world would quickly produce more devils like crazy, and even the surrounding worlds would produce large amount of devils to partake in the ferocious siege.

It was not known how many strong Gods made an occasional mistake under such siege, or slip-ups, or focused on battle but forgot about the corrosion of the Abyss energy and passed on. Some were even drowned in battle and transformed into the King of Devils straightaway.

Back then, the God of Justice took countless measures against this and spent a lot of time. But, in the end, He depended on the King of Devils who was in a state not dead nor alive that he held captive, and he finally made a sanctuary.

Relying on the sanctuary, He had escaped danger more than once.

But, He didn’t expect that within a year, Sui Xiong would manage to conquer such a large territory in the Abyss!

Although it was only a clone that was used for communication, His eyesight was still functional. He could clearly feel that the world was fully corroded with chaotic kind divine power; it had almost broken off its connection with the entire Abyss. Besides it being gradually corroded by the Abyss energy, it was just like an independent paradise.

Or course, this was based on the premise that the devils that appeared one after another were to be ignored. The nature of the world was still a part of the Abyss after all. It was only transformed a little.

Strictly speaking, it was only a paradise that was built of a crater. The heat from below could be felt and it could possibly explode at any time.

He became invisible and quickly found Sui Xiong.

“I did well, right?” Sui Xiong said happily. “I think I can continue to transform here, to make it my holy kingdom!”

“It’s not a bad idea, looking at it closely, it is quite possible. But, how did you do it?” The God of Justice asked curiously.

Sui Xiong explained to him in detail, but He was puzzled as he couldn’t grasp the main point.

“Anyway, that was it. I don’t understand what happened either.” In the end, Sui Xiong spread his tentacles and said helplessly, “I felt it was quite easy. Although it was certainly a little dangerous, there was nothing difficult to understand.”

The God of Justice remained silent for very long time and took a deep breath.

“I still do not know the subtleties of the world well enough.”

After that, He helped Sui Xiong figure out a way.

“Firstly, you have to reverse the circulation direction along the Ring of the World. Try to keep close to the material realm. Then, I will extract some small worlds from the positive realm of the Ring of the World, and send them over to blend with this world. Bit by bit, after a few rounds, it should eliminate the chaotic attributes of this world.”

“Just like red and green, blue and orange, purple and yellow; as long as they complement each other under suitable proportions, the lights of the two colours will be combined into white light, right?”

The God of Justice laughed faintly but He tacitly acknowledged Sui Xiong’s example, as it’s not nice to say that He had never researched about colours before.

“Without further ado, let’s start now!” Sui Xiong clapped his hands excitedly. Just when he was going to start, he stopped and asked, “What should I do exactly?”

The God of Justice smiled. “Hold on a minute. Continue to enhance your control of this world. I will find a way to help you confirm the location in on the entire Ring of the World. Only then can you take action.”

To confirm the location of a small world that was within a few thousand miles in the huge Ring of the World that was huge beyond imagination was definitely not an easy task. The God of Justice spent half a year’s time completing that one task.

He specifically drew up a route for Sui Xiong to go along the route, to avoid the few huge and powerful worlds in the Abyss in order to avoid unnecessary risk.

After obtaining the map, Sui Xiong, who was already impatient from waiting, departed immediately. He cut off the last connection between the world and the Abyss, the pathway that connected it to the World of Scorching Heat, and turned into a huge jellyfish that filled the entire world. He dragged the entire world—with great force beyond imagination—along the route and travelled slowly.

Although the speed wasn’t fast and the future was filled with various challenges, he was full of confidence.

“Even computerized Chinese chess can win against a human, and I am only relocating my home; what is so difficult about it!”
