Chapter 495: Chapter 35
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Queen of Water Elements was a kind god . Before parting, Sui Xiong told her that he wanted to buy some water element hearts . She agreed and promised that she would send the hearts to the sanctuary as soon as possible . However, she didn’t mention the price .
This made Sui Xiong worried, so he hurriedly asked what he should pay .
“I don’t need anything,” the Queen of Water Elements said with a smile . “Don’t underestimate an old woman who is even older than the Ring of the World . My wealth is beyond your imagination . ”
“No matter what, they are very precious,” Sui Xiong responded .
“They’re precious to you,” the Queen of Water Elements said indifferently . “For me, there is nothing ‘precious’ in this world . ”
Sui Xiong agreed . This was like Bill Gates deciding to give others a million dollars . For ordinary people, the price of their houses was constantly rising, but their houses were unsellable when it was necessary . If they deducted their houses, their assets wouldn’t be as much as a million . However, for Bill Gates, a million was really not a worthy topic . Maybe his income for one day was more than this number .
Therefore, Sui Xiong sighed, and he could only sigh .
After sighing, he secretly remembered this favor, hoping that he could have a chance to repay .
Although, he couldn’t think of any way to pay it back .
Generally, the reaction of Water Elements was a bit slow . In the Four Elements, water elements were just a little bit faster than earth elements that were sleeping all year round . However, the efficiency of the Queen of Water Elements was not slow at all . After Sui Xiong left for a short while, her messenger had already visited the sanctuary of the God’s Kingdom of Sui Xiong . Sui Xiong even had no time to contact Ariel and talk about this matter in detail .
It was interesting that the messenger was not a water element, but a jellyfish in the Legendary Realm .
This jellyfish was qualified as a messenger, so his wisdom was naturally high . He was very curious about and admired the world’s most famous and powerful Jellyfish God, so his words were extremely humble . Sui Xiong suspected that if Sui Xiong was more gracious and more polite, that jellyfish might hug his thigh and cry . That jellyfish might say, “We jellyfish look forward to your appearance . We have been looking forward to it for so long . ”

Alas! It seemed that he had read about such a scene in some historical novels .
However, after all, that jellyfish was the messenger of the Queen of Water Elements . It was no doubt that he was loyal to the Queen of Water Elements . After some sighs and greetings, he was still reluctant to leave, leaving a gift that made Sui Xiong feel thorny .
It was a box that was big enough to allow a small kid to curl up his body in it . Several layers were stacked inside, and all of them were gemstones of the same kind with a blue radiance . Each gemstone had a breath of water . With so many gemstones gathering, not only did the surrounding area shine blue, but also, the air was filled with the breath of water . Sui Xiong even heard the sound of waves clearly .
He certainly recognized those things . They were water element hearts .
A box of water element hearts . A large box of water element hearts!
After being silent for a moment, he asked, sighing deeply, “How can I pay for this favor?”
After sighing, he contacted Ariel .
“I found some water element hearts . ”
“Oh? We also found a lot . How many pieces have you found?”
“A box . ”
“Sorry, I don’t quite understand your quantifier . Why do you use ‘box’ instead of ‘piece’ to count them? Don’t you find something wrong with that?”
“In short, you will know when you come to see them,” Sui Xiong said weakly . “Ask them all to come back . I think the number should be enough . ”
After a while, Ariel’s avatar, a mermaid that was always surrounded by clear water, went to the sanctuary .
When she saw the box of water element hearts, her facial expression was “wonderful . ”
After a moment of silence, she asked, screaming, “Sir, what did you do? Which God’s Kingdom have you robbed?”
“Don’t describe your teacher as a robber . Moreover, what place do you think can be wealthy enough for me to rob of so many water element hearts?”
Ariel thought for a moment, and she shook her head . Then, she understood, and her eyes widened .

“You… you robbed the eldest of the gods, right?” She looked at him with incredulity . “God! I only asked you to help collect some water element hearts, but I didn’t ask you to do this! You… This… this… this is too exaggerated!”
Sui Xiong naturally knew that the ‘eldest one of the gods’ referred to the Queen of Water Elements . In the past, he had always thought that the Queen of Water Elements was just an ancient god like the Goddess of Life . It turned out that she was a super elder who was even older than the Big Circulation . She was a powerful god who had been living from the previous era before the creation of this world .
Therefore, he shook his head, smiling . “I’m not as great as your imagination . The Queen of Water Elements is powerful . How could I rob her?”
“Then where do these come from? Except for the treasure house of the God’s Kingdom of Her Majesty, I really can’t think of any place where there are so many water element hearts . ”
“She gave these to me . ” Sui Xiong gave her a concise and comprehensive answer .
Ariel couldn’t believe it . She said, shaking her head again and again, “I am talking to you seriously . Don’t always joke, please . ”
Sui Xiong was speechless . He said with a bitter smile, “I am not kidding . This is really a gift from the Queen of Water Elements . ”
“Does Her Majesty have a good relationship with you? Why did she give you such a precious gift?” Ariel asked with unbelief . “Why doesn’t she give me a gift?”
“How would I know?” Sui Xiong said, sighing . “But this is indeed a gift from her . Her messenger just left . Many people here have seen the messenger . ”
Ariel frowned, looking at Sui Xiong left and right, up and down, and that made him feel very uncomfortable .
After a while, she curiously asked, “I have heard a rumor . It is said that in the past, the God of Virtue disappeared into the sea . Perhaps, he became something that lives in the water . ”
Sui Xiong was confused, and then he understood what she meant . He said, shaking his head repeatedly, “What are you thinking? I am not the God of Virtue . ”
“Besides the God of Virtue, I can’t think of anyone who could have such a big honor . ”
“I just know that I have a lot of honor,” Sui Xiong said with a bitter smile . “In short, this many water element hearts should be enough for you to use, right?”
“It’s enough, more than enough . ” Ariel’s gaze swept inside the box . She reached out, and about a dozen water element hearts flew up . One of them was an especially deep blue, revealing a fascinating beauty that was very different from the others .
“These are enough,” she said . “These, together with the previous collection, are not only enough to build a condensed pool of Water Elements, but also enough to raise its scale to a higher level . With the rest in the box, the pool can be raised several levels higher . However, considering the balance of the entire God’s Kingdom, that is already the limit . ”
“What should we do with the rest?” Sui Xiong asked . “Should I give them back?”
“You don’t have to . I don’t think Her Majesty, the Queen of Water Elements cares much . You may keep them . Maybe sometime you’ll need them . ” After putting away the water element hearts, Ariel thanked Sui Xiong and hurried away .
She was busy with building the condensed pool of Water Elements .
Seeing that Ariel left, and then looking at the box of water element hearts that was hardly reduced, Sui Xiong was silent for a long time and sighed deeply .
He always felt that he was under so much pressure!

Fragments from the Wildlands
“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.

Dungeon Crawler Darryl
In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth--from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds to all the trucks and cars--collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The fruits of millenia of human progress, atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot. A dungeon so enormous, it circles the entire globe. Presented with impossible situations, dire straits, an empty promise of regaining their planet or the fame of intergalactical stardom, thirteen million of the remaining humans entered this dungeon. This death trap with glamorous gore and way too many bugs. Only a few of them truly matter, the top most popular crawlers such as the ill-pantsed Carl and his elegant mistress Princess Donut. This story isn't about such glorious people, however. This story focusses on one of the dregs overlooked by the masses as they try to cling on to their life. This is the story of Darryl and friends. Note: This is a Dungeon Crawler Carl fanfic. Please support and read the original, it's really good!

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of The Creeping Bam (BOOK ONE: The Job)
TAO is a broken world held together with nothing but magic and the will of the gods who protect it and its people. Then thousand years ago THE SUNDERING struck and Tao was almost torn apart by a terrible magical cataclysm which resulted in the planet almost being halted in its journey through the cosmos. It took all the power the gods of Tao could muster to restore its orbit and set it turning again, but in their efforts it was forever changed – its axis was drastically altered, and it now spins in such a way that one face of the world is forever turned from the sun it orbits, leaving half the planet in perpetual darkness. The various humanoid races that survived and now thrive within the habitable parts of THE DAY LANDS have come to live in perpetual fear of what lives beyond THE BORDERLANDS that separate them from whatever dwells within THE NIGHT LANDS, but for ten millennia it has kept its secrets. The land of RUNDAO languishes under the rule of their warlike Northern neighbours, the TEKTEHRAN EMPIRE, while a small, ragtag band of motley adventurers ply their mercenary trade fighting monsters and protecting the common man from the various dangers that haunt the night and prowl the hinterlands on the edges of civilization. THE CREEPING BAM have amassed a modest reputation in their years together, but they’re still just a small-time party of sellswords, thieves, outcasts and mages. They’re also exactly the kind of underdogs the people of Tao doesn’t yet realise are needed to save the world from the encroaching darkness they doesn’t even know is coming … This is a love letter and homage to the high-fantasy worlds of the tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and Warhammer and the sword & sorcery cinema and literature I fell in love with as a kid growing up in the 80s, from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.

Raul The Reality-Reshaper
Raul Medrano had believed he was a normal human his entire life until the day he turned 21. The night before his 21st birthday he had a strange dream and acquired something dubbed a "system" that swore it would help him adjust to his status as a "higher being" and a "reality reshaper". And so began Raul's life as an immensely powerful adventurer who has and uses a variety of powers to change his world, and the grander omniverse for the better. This story features an overpowered protagonist who meets and faces off against other overpowered entities, but it begins with the protagonist in a small world where he swiftly becomes one of the big dogs so conflict, in the beginning, isn't going to be especially challenging. This story also mixes elements from my own distinct setting, the multiverse in which "A Solitary God" takes place, with elements from the settings created by people over on the NSFW CYOA (Choose your own adventure) subreddit, such as TroyxPage, and specific CYOAs such as "Goddess of Mankind" and "Love Azathoth" into one distinct, wholly original story. When relevant I'll post links to the CYOAs a chapter references in the author's notes section. Image credit: I got the image for the cover from Pixabay. This story was posted originally on ScribbleHub and will continue to be posted both there and elsewhere.
