Chapter 43: Planning
“Highness Hollow Mask, you want to exploit a village to build a foundation for your religion, right?” After knowing Sui Xiong’s situation, Snowflake asked .
“That’s right . Although I actually haven’t built my own religion system yet, sooner or later I will have one . ” Sui Xiong answered straightforwardly .
“If it is so, I then have a suggestion for you . ” Snowflake flicked her finger . The snow danced crazily on the “Blackboard” and drew a map on it after a short while .
She pointed at the map and said, “You see, our Northwest Four Towns scatters along the barren mountain ranges from south to north but in reality, there are just one or two villages in the north . The reason why no one exploits that place is due to the freezing cold weather, the winter is too severe there . “
“But to your believers, this is not a problem . I believe that as a God whose strength is Ice, you surely have a way to protect your believers from the coldness . “
After she finished talking, the map on the blackboard disappeared . Inside the ice and snow, there was a man with a naked upper body . He was displaying his muscles . In addition, the top of his head was piping hot .
The floating jellyfish in the air slightly nodded, and Snowflake continued, “If resisting the cold is not the problem, then exploitation and planting won’t be a problem either . Under such a situation like that, the freezing cold weather won’t be an obstacle for the living of your group . On the other hand, it would become their natural defense . This defense doesn’t have a big impact on the devil beasts . However, to a person who is full of ill intention, it is absolutely very effective!”
On the blackboard, a group of men in armor was holding pikes . They were wanting to attack that bare-chested but immediately frozen into an ice block .
Sui Xiong calculated inside his head, then silently nodded .
Snowflake is very right . As a God who specializes in the ice power, I indeed have a special cold-fighting skill .
I am not like other people who rely on the warmth to fight the coldness . I can absorb the coldness . The result of absorbing coldness is naturally the warmth . Therefore, in each exploited village, I just need to leave behind an avatar to absorb the coldness or simply set up a cold-absorbing condensing magic formation which can create a warm spring area inside the world of ice and snow . The north area of China, Jiangnan, is just around the corner .
Moreover . . . . according to the things that the God of Salvation has taught me, a good God should make his believers able to sense his existence as well as his power . Therefore, it can effectively enhance the sincerity level of the believers . An ice and snow country inside the little Jiangnan . . . This absolutely can make the pioneers clearly sense my power, which is a great help to enhance my religion .
“This idea is very good . But you need to spend a lot . ” Palin, who used to work in a caravan, was very sensitive when it came to money . After doing some little calculation, he raised his opinion, “We can recruit pioneers from the Gold Coin Federation . Changing our location from the Dragon Roar Town to the North requires an extra cost . Meanwhile, even though we have Great God power support from Highness, we still need a tremendous manpower to build a village in a land full of ice and snow!”

He shook his head, lamented, “Miss Snowflake, your plan is really attractive . But we need to wait until the church develops to a certain level . After we get enough resources, we can develop further . “
His words were very logical . Sui Xiong couldn’t help but silently nod his head .
Each believer of mine really has their own strength: Gerrard’s fighting power is valiant . In addition, he is very excelled in teaching others . He can easily build up a prestige among the pioneers . Palin is hardworking and eager to learn . He likes to think . He also has some little knowledge about business . Sometimes, he can propose some valuable ideas . Satan’s experience and knowledge are vast . His magic is superior . He even knows some high-level characters . Rhodes was cautious . He handles matters very carefully . He is suitable to remedy omissions and correct errors, is capable of effectively preventing the team from making mistakes .
There is a saying on Earth , human resource is the most important! If I truly want to build a church, promote my religion, and become a proper God . The more the talents, the better!
“You are right, but we still don’t have enough eyes . ” Snowflake shook her head and smilingly said, “After all, too young, lack knowledge . . . Like the case of Frost, I always feel that his ability might be usable, the result is as you have seen . “
The blackboard showed a small Dragon which was pulling something . He faced up the sky and shot out flames . One big and one small dragon beside heaved a sigh together . In a blink, that image was erased and returned to the previous subject . “In fact, to a God, religion development is not something we can rush . One hundred years are not considered long . One thousand years are not too long . A great God is an eternal immortal . No matter how much time passes, longevity has changed me into a dragon inside a tomb, which has been left behind with a pile of ice energy dried up bones . Highness Hollow Mask will be almost the same as before, at most, you will become a little bit more matured and seasoned . “
“However, to a newborn God, developing the church is the first step, which has to be steady and heavy . It is like building a house . The foundation must be resolutely solid to build a house on!”
While she was speaking, the image on the blackboard had turned into a block of rock which was firmly nailed down to the ground . After that, a lofty castle was built on top of it . Despite being windswept and battered by rain, it was still motionless and imposing .
“Why?” Sui Xiong could not easily be convinced like that . He kept questioning to get to the bottom of the matter .
The material that the God of Salvation had given him didn’t mention about this aspect .
Seeing him not understand, Snowflake continued explaining, “As you said, just as the south area, who can exploit this area and build villages?——how do we set up a religious area? How can we develop the religion? How can we ensure the steady growth of the number of loyal believers? How can we make those people publicly declare the power of the great Highness Hollow Mask?”

She raised her slim and pure white finger stimulating the dark power and used frost to draw out a scene of a group of loyal people who were worshiping a giant jellyfish in the air on the blackboard . Besides those people was a thick fog which hid many amicable or devious eyes .
Her painting skill was extremely phenomenal . It was like a version of Q but was not the realistic style . However, she was still able to convince all the attitude hidden behind that .
“To a God, before the first step, he must leave a good impression that carves deep into people’s minds . One thing you must know that there are many Gods in this world . A new God can not avoid encountering enemies if he wants to grow and form an ally smoothly . The more outstandingly you show yourself, the more powerful allies you can win over . Those neutral Gods are more likely unwilling to become your enemy . The number of your potential enemies would reduce significantly . “
“The God World is indeed very cruel . Not every God likes to talk like Highness Hollow Mask——Moreover, the majority of Gods in this world are not moderate and tolerant . If they don’t show their fists, even if your priesthood doesn’t clash with theirs, they would attack you to attract allies or to steal your God Power . “
According to Snowflake, there were more and more eyes hidden in the fog . The majority of them were absolutely full of evil thoughts, which immediately made people uncomfortable .
“So let them come, I don’t want to provoke others . But I am not scared of fighting either . ” Sui Xiong attentively stared at that painting . He was shaken inside, but he was not afraid . On the contrary, he was full of fighting spirit .
Fight? Fine! Who is scared of who!
Snowflake sighed, persuaded, “Therefore, the moment when you officially become a God means that you have simultaneously ignited a fight with other Gods . Even though you are capable of winning this group, but your believers will certainly suffer from severe wounds . Are you still willing to then?”
The image changed . A giant jellyfish displayed ambidexterity . Eighteen types of weapons went into the battle . Countless hidden eyes in the fog launched the attack . The ground under their feet shook violently . One by one vile character escaped . Not long after that, corpses were all over the ground . The scene was extremely tragic .
Looking at this scene, which was not exaggerated at all, Sui Xiong momentarily silenced .
He used to fight with the Semi-God Old Dryad in the shadow surface . The battle between both sides had caused damages, that could be considered disasters . If they really fought with the pioneers from other places, not to mention his believers were mortal, even Gerrard was uncertain to be able to beat them .
“By comparison, through a group of loyal believers and a miraculous Holy Land in the mortal world, you can absolutely make these opportunistic elements give up their idea of eliminating you . There remain other Gods whose priesthoods overlap or conflict with yours . If it is the case, it is not only are your chance of winning getting bigger, but you can also reduce the number of injured believers . “
Her voice was not high-pitched but when it coordinated with the picture on the blackboard, it created an influence that made people believe in her, “In fact, if you show other Gods your vision and ability, even the Gods who are your natural enemies would very likely give up the thought of directly confronting you . You will then not have even a smallest of resisting force and thus smoothly declare your God identity!”
Sui Xiong constantly nodded his head when hearing all these things . Those eyes were as same as before, changing nonstop . The number of opposing eyes got lesser and lesser . Finally, only a few ones left in the distant on the image . Sui Xiong silenced for a long time . He then sighed deeply with his changing mind .
“You are right!”
For an unknown reason, he couldn’t help but think of Liu Bei’s answer to Zhuge Liang’s Longzhong Plan after being deeply moved that year .
Loneliness to Kong Ming was like water to fish!
Snowflake explained again with those lively “drawing chalk”, which made him suddenly feel that everything became clear at once .
Before, Sui Xiong always felt that his knowledge about this world was not sufficient, he needed to find an advisor . After hearing this clear, organized, and highly persuasive analysis, he could not help but have this kind of thought once again .
Moreover, it had never been this intense .
“I need an advisor . ” He told himself . “In addition, she is right in front of my eyes!”
“A full understanding about this world, having both knowledge and wisdom, and a drawing enthusiast —this is more important! After coming to this world, this is the first time I have ever seen an art lover like you!”
“I will regret for at least one thousand years if I miss such a talent like that!”
When thinking about this, he didn’t hesitate anymore, used the earnest tone to speak, “Miss Snowflake, what you have just said is too reasonable! I want to invite you to become my advisor, to help me in planning . Do you agree?”
Snowflake finally smiled, “If it isn’t to make you say these words, why do I need to put so much effort into telling all of that?”
Sui Xiong was flabbergasted, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud .

The Archaic Elements
A fantasy world, its own unique power-up system, some mystery aspects to make it look interesting and an MC that should make sense but well messes up, cause plot. Flashy fights. Characters will use their brain, unless it is an arrogant young master that needs to be taught a lesson. The starting is slow and maybe boring. The main MC does not desire great strength or harbor any great ambition. He starts out as a naive, lazy and a boring person. But the story does hold one aspect which will fuel the growth of our MC, which is his boundless curiosity for adventure and his will to explore. The second MC is a reincarnation/transmigration and he has a clear cut aim that he needs to achieve. His past life experiences also becomes a pillar that will help guide the main MC, while his friend also supports him. The writing is slow and steady. I will provide reasonings behind most happenings and keep it a logical story. It's a WIP as I edit the previous chapters even as I release more, so while the content doesn't change, the style and smoothness improve. The current release rate is 3 chapter/week. There is no specific date as I can get sidetracked or forgetful., but I will try to stick to Tues, Thurs and Sunday releases.
