Chapter 979: The Exchange (Part 1)
Now, Sui Xiong was no longer chained to the boundaries of the Old Fairy Temple, and he shot out of the temple like a shooting star .
Just as the God of Virtue had mentioned, there was a boundary that went beyond priesthoods and natural rules that surrounded this Old Fairy Temple . With one glance, Sui Xiong immediately understood the significance of this boundary .
This was a boundary that could alter time and allow time to flow extremely slowly within the boundary, at a speed so slow that it was almost nonexistent .
In one of China’s old folktales, there was a saying: “Seven days in the mountain is akin to thousands of years in the world . ” Sui Xiong had seen an animated cartoon of that legend . There was another legend about how a “day in a magical external world was akin to a year on Earth . ” However, these legends paled in comparison to the true time adjustment of this boundary, where time slowed down much more than just the ratio of seven days to an actual year .
Furthermore, Sui Xiong had been sleeping soundly in the temple for three whole days . Even during the few seconds he had spent talking to the God of Virtue, much time had already passed in this world . In that period of time, what exactly had happened?
The Master of Order had beaten him into unconsciousness and sent him to where the God of Virtue resided in order to allow him to understand the true great Divine Power that transcended camps, intrinsic attitudes and rules . However, in doing so, the Master of Order had been left alone to deal with the God of Light . How had that turned out?
He was definitely at a disadvantage when facing the God of Light . Had the Master of Order been killed or trapped? After defeating the Master of Order, what other actions did the God of Light take? Given his nature, it was likely that several races would be put in danger . The Void Mask System who had left Void Mask City probably faced the same danger… As Sui Xiong broke through the time boundary, he was extremely anxious as he feared that he would see vast desolation or perhaps the genocide of all intelligent races apart from that of the human race . Would the world be left with only one race and only one god system?

Well, he guessed wrong .
What Sui Xiong saw when he first rushed out of the time boundary was a bustling big city .
This city was filled with expansive streets and several skyscrapers, with humans as well as other races walking to and fro . Sui Xiong noticed that all of the living creatures, be it intelligent or not, had a glimmer of confusion and insanity in their eyes . Their bodies gave off dreary and moody auras, causing one to feel extremely uneasy .
Furthermore, Sui Xiong could also sense that the entire intrinsic attitude of this world was unbalanced and skewed largely towards order and evil . This was significantly different from the various balanced intrinsic attitudes he was used to in the past, where several mindsets and ideas were in harmony . Sui Xiong furrowed his brows and used divine thought to investigate in all directions, hoping to figure out where exactly he had landed .
His powers now were strong beyond imagination, and he got his answer almost immediately . He was still on the Main Plane, and judging by his current location, he was where Void Mask City once was . It was just that this new Void Mask City was vastly different from the past . The previous landmarks and buildings were long gone and the beautiful city painstakingly developed by Sui Xiong was no longer recognizable . Even the Underground Maze and the tree that was meant to be forever young were nowhere to be found . He frowned as he did not understand what had happened here . Hadn’t Sui Xiong instructed everyone to retreat from Void Mask City before he had gone into a coma and instructed all to wait for his return? Where was everyone?
Could it be… that they all were…
Sui Xiong shivered and cast his unfounded fears aside, thinking of who he should approach to ask about this situation . Perhaps… he should find Javier?
Sui Xiong believed that even under the God of Light’s rule, Javier should still be alive . As the God of Celebration and Pleasure, although he did not exactly fit in a fully evil world, he could still somewhat continue to exist… After all, even evil camps required celebrations and pleasure from time to time!

However, when Sui Xiong tried to access the God of Celebration and Pleasure, he was unable to find Javier . Furthermore, beyond that, he was unable to find any trace of the God of Celebration and Pleasure .
In the laws of this world, although celebrations still existed, this priesthood remained unclaimed and dangling .
No! It was not that it was unclaimed, but rather, the priesthood had come to a standstill and was not identifiable . It was just like how when wood was burned by fire, it would simply turn to ashes over time .
Sui Xiong’s heart raced, and he felt that something bad had happened and begun to search through all the priesthoods of his friends .
Justice, Half-Orcs, law, war, the sea… even knowledge, medicine, healing, royalty… Almost all of his friends and underlings’ priesthoods faced a similar fate as celebration, and were downgraded to that of burnt ashes . Only salt-making seemed slightly better and was not complete burnt out .
The only untouched and safe priesthood was wealth .
The Goddess of Wealth was still alive?
A surge of joy rose up within Sui Xiong . Just as he was about to head towards his God Kingdom, he was cut off by a giant force . This was a force similar to Sui Xiong’s, which transcended everything else and was pure and strong . This was a force strong enough to take over this world and create new rules .
Furthermore, as compared to Sui Xiong’s, this force was clearly more matured, pure, detailed and trained . Within it, there were objects that directly clashed with Sui Xiong .
Although Sui Xiong had already crossed the array, without clear direction, he was still a chaotic good god . This force was coincidentally the opposite and was full of strong order that was rather hard to disobey . It was also filled with evil that was strong enough to cause goosebumps to form on one’s skin . Order and evil… Without a doubt, this was the God of Light’s force .
Sui Xiong laughed coldly, expanded his own power and launched attacks towards the force that opposed him . Distance was meaningless to both Sui Xiong and the God of Light . In an instant, Sui Xiong had already managed to enter the extravagant and towering temple, and reach a black-armored God of Light, who had a deadly aura emanating from him . Reaching out his tentacles, which acted as swords, Sui Xiong charged directly at the God of Light .
In comparison, however, the God of Light did not immediately retaliate and instead simply dissolved Sui Xiong’s attacks gently .
“Auscar, surely there’s no need to fight me so quickly,” he said . “If we want to fight, there’s plenty of time for us to do . Shouldn’t we sit down and have a talk first?”
“There’s nothing left for us to talk about,” Sui Xiong replied .
“Well, we could talk about life, about logic, our exchange our views towards living in this world . ” The God of Light smiled strangely and created a seat for Sui Xiong . “In this world, in the end, we are the only two who managed to reach this transcended realm of a true great Divine Power . Now that we finally meet, surely there’s no harm in having a conversation with me?”
Sui Xiong hesitated for a while but eventually sat down .
He did not understand the God of Light’s actions, but he was not about to be rude . Since the God of Light had extended some courtesy and offered to talk peacefully, he would not refuse this offer for now .

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
