Tracing back a thousand years was not an easy job even for a god . It was nothing serious if it was just to trace back to a fixed time and place, but what Sui Xiong had done was track his experience for a thousand years . That was something only possible for a powerful god like him . As for others, not to mention the mortals, even ordinary gods would be exhausted in the process .

Sui Xiong felt tired as well, so he decided to take a rest and wait for his spirit to recover before continuing to track his body .

Anyway, if his body was still somewhere in the sea, it had already been soaking in the water for a thousand years . It probably didn’t care about soaking for another two or three days .

If his body was no longer there, what would be the difference between tracking now and a few days later? If his body had been eaten by a fish or swept away by sea water, he didn’t know how long his tracking would take . Then, what did a few days’ rest matter?

Thus, Sui Xiong, who had originally planned to find his body as soon as possible, changed his mind and then leisurely returned to his God’s Kingdom . He laid on his stomach on the table in the hall again, making his body soft and relaxed . “Oh, I’m so tired . I have to rest for a while . ”

By the way, Javier had named this wonderful gesture as the Jellyfish Crouch .

Coincidentally, when Sui Xiong laid down to rest and thought about Javier naming that gesture, Javier came to visit him .

“Talk of the devil and he shall come! I just thought of you in my mind, and you came! You are much faster than the devil!”

“What?”

“Nothing . ” Sui Xiong put the proverb from the earth aside and asked with a smile, “What’s the big deal that you’re looking for me this time?”

Javier was surprised at that and asked with confusion, “I haven’t said anything . How did you know that?”

He frowned and said to himself, Did anyone tell him about that? That’s impossible . I didn’t even mention it to anybody before . Even if someone found clues about what I was going to do and make a guess, they wouldn’t come and tell him…

“You’re overthinking now,” Sui Xiong floated up from the table and said with a smile . “I just guessed this casually . ”

“Guessed it casually?” Javier did not underestimate that answer . He thought about it carefully and smiled .

After a while, he said happily, “That may be a good thing . Premonition is a common ability and phenomenon, but being able to apply it to a god like me means that your divinity is above mine, much higher than mine . ”

“But why are you so happy?” Sui Xiong asked . “I have been more powerful than you in fighting since before too . ”

“It has nothing to do with whether you can fight or not . Higher divinity always means the upper limit of divinity that can be reached . I am now a god with a higher divinity as a weak Divine Power, and the fact that your divinity is much higher than mine proves that you can become at least a mid-level Divine Power with a relatively high divinity . ”

Sui Xiong still didn’t understand what was so good about that . At present, not to mention the mid-level Divine Powers, even in the face of great Divine Powers, Sui Xiong was not scared at all . What on earth was it worth to be happy about being just a mid-level Divine Power?

Sui Xiong spoke out his doubts frankly, and Javier became very distressed and did not know how to explain it to him .

After thinking about it for a long time, Javier finally said, “We all know that you’re good at fighting . In terms of power, you might have reached the level of a great Divine Power, and you might even be one of the most powerful among them . But being powerful doesn’t mean that you have a respectable status . ”

“Doesn’t power represent one’s status?” Sui Xiong asked .

“Yes, it does, but status is not just about power . It is much more than that . ” Javier had sorted out his ideas in a short time and explained . “It is not enough to prove one’s high status by power alone . ”

“What else does it need?”

“Deity,” Javier said . “Another proof of status is deity . If you are powerful enough but without a high deity, your friends and enemies could respect you, but the gods who have nothing to do with you might treat you as an upstart . Only when you are powerful enough and have a high deity can it convince all the people to respect you . ”

Sui Xiong then understood that and couldn’t help but sneer . “Those weak and nameless gods, I don’t care if they are really convinced or not . If they think they are more powerful, they can come and challenge me . I’ll wait here!”

Javier sighed deeply, feeling that sometimes it was really hard for him, a well-educated people, to find a common language with this violent jellyfish .

“Auscar, you are cultured and good-mannered all the time . But why are you so unreasonable on some issues?” he could not help but ask .

“Because it’s my principle,” Sui Xiong answered proudly . “The regime comes out of the barrel of a gun . If I have a gun, I surely can’t tolerant those guys who cling to old ideas . ”

“What you’re talking about is… It’s too mean . ”

“It’s nothing mean . It’s just my attitude . ”

Javier sighed . Instead of tangling with Sui Xiong on this issue, he turned to business . He really had something to do here this time .

“I received your gift before, the God’s Kingdom that was sealed by magic, right? I chose a very reliable believer and helped him improve his power, and now he’s almost been able to become a god,” Javier said . “I plan to help him to become a god soon . By the way, I will sort out my beliefs and adjust my clergy . I’ve been the God of Celebration for too long, and it’s time for me to give this clergy to someone else . I plan to change my clergy to the God of Pleasure at this God Ceremony . ”

Sui Xiong nodded, but then could not help but frown .

He remembered what had happened when the Goddess of Bumper Harvest promoted her god follower . She had made a lot of preparations for it, but it ended sadly . Not to mention the fact that she had failed to help her god follower become a god, she even died .

Javier was much less powerful than the Goddess of Bumper Harvest . Thus, wouldn’t it be more dangerous for him to promote his god follower?

Sui Xiong spoke of his worries frankly, but Javier just smiled and shook his head .

“With the sealed God’s Kingdom, there is little risk in promoting my god follower . Even if there is, it will not be me bearing it . At most, the God’s Kingdom will collapse, and all I’ll need to do is to save the soul of my believer,” he smiled and said . “I am not as good as you in fighting, but you can’t treat me as a god that can do nothing . It’s not so hard for me to deal with such a trifle . ”

Sui Xiong asked worriedly, “But you still have to adjust your clergy . ”

“It’s not so dangerous to adjust the clergy . I can hand over the clergy of Celebration to my Holy Spirit . It’s quite logical for the Holy Spirit to inherit the clergy . There’s no risk . The only risk is that I want to fight for the clergy of Pleasure . However, I’ve prepared a lot for it . Most importantly, that clergy has not been occupied by anyone, and there are even no gods who are intending to occupy it, so I don’t have to worry about dangerous competition for the clergy . As long as I manage to get through the period of weakness between losing the clergy of celebration and gaining the clergy of pleasure, there will basically be no problem . ”

“What if you can’t make it?” Sui Xiong asked .

“Don’t look down on me like that . How can I not make it!” Javier didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry . “Even a dog can survive that short period of weakness as long as no one comes to make trouble!”

A cold intent flashed in Sui Xiong’s eyes . “You came to me today because you are afraid that someone will make trouble with you?”

Javier nodded . That was why he was here .

For a god, the conversion of clergy was not dangerous in itself . The danger was in the period when the god lost his original clergy, and the new clergy was not available yet . During that period, his deity would temporarily fall down to the level of god-to-be, and he would fall into a state of weakness because of losing his clergy . If attacked at this time, he would probably die .

In the past years, more than one god had died like that .

Of course, there were those who were powerful beyond imagination, and even in a weak state, they still maintained great power in fighting . Not only did they survive the enemies’ attack, but they could also kill the enemies in a counter-attack .

Of course, such an amazingly powerful master was not someone like Javier, a civil servant who had just learned how to fight in recent years from Morani . With Javier’s current power, once he was attacked in the period of weakness, there would be only death waiting for him .

So he came to Sui Xiong for help . He hoped that Sui Xiong would act as his bodyguard to protect him from being killed while he was weak, and that could prevent others from taking advantage of his death .

“No problem!” After that, Sui Xiong clapped his body with his tentacles on the part that was probably his chest . He laughed and said, “Trust me!”

“At that time, I will guard the arena with my friends, and I will also talk to some powerful gods that have good relations with me in advance . ” Sui Xiong thought about it shortly and began to list the names . “My brother is sure to help, and so is Manissy . Wenner said before that he treated me as his leader, but I haven’t asked for any help from him for years . If I ask him for help now, he surely will come . The three of them and I—there will be four great Divine Powers in total . As for the mid-level Divine Powers, I’m too lazy to count them one by one . I think there will be no problem in having seven or eight of them . There will also be some low-level and weak Divine Powers… Shit, I don’t know how many helpers I have until I list these names . I have a super gorgeous team!”

Javier certainly had thought about that before, so he just smiled at what Sui Xiong said .

“Hey, Javier, please be confident in us, okay?” Sui Xiong made a big grin . “There will be a lot of people acting as your bodyguards . With such a super-luxurious group of bodyguards, are you still afraid that someone will dare to come and make trouble with you?”

“There are no absolute things in the world . Maybe there will be someone fearless,” said Javier .

Sui Xiong sneered and turned his tentacles into hands . He rubbed his palms heavily . “If there really is someone that is so fearless of death, I would like to cut off his head to see if his brain is different from other people!”
