Once greetings were done with it was time to get to business, and business in this case obviously meant figuring out how exactly the human gods managed to breach the Seven Colors Spring in the Mystery God System’s God’s Kingdom, as well as how they’d be splitting the spoils of war .
Sui Xiong was interested in the former, whereas Wenner was more interested in the latter .
The God of Heroes naturally brought up the former first . Although dividing a part of the profit was something that couldn’t be avoided, the longer he delayed it, the better . While the God of Heroes knew that there was no way he could misappropriate any of the best spoils for himself with the professional pillagers that were the War God System, even making them wait for just a little longer helped him feel a little better about things .
“To be honest, we’d planned and prepared for this a long time ago . ” He took a moment to inwardly organize his words, then said with a calm voice, “Back when the Master of Mystery annihilated the Elf God System, our king had already been granted divinity . He was very puzzled then; the Master of Mystery clearly wasn’t all that strong, so why did he have such astonishing power?”
Wenner and Sui Xiong couldn’t help nodding, both of them very curious .
The Master of Mystery was definitely not one of those particularly powerful gods, and there was no doubt about that . Particularly powerful gods were like the previous age’s Sun God . He’d been capable of fighting such a close match with the God of Light, and it shocked the other gods to their very core with the intensity of their battle before the Sun God was finally defeated . The Master of Mystery’s God’s Kingdom had been breached in less than two hours, and he was even forced to surrender and lost the war . A person like that… could you consider him strong?
Hehe .

“His Majesty secretly looked into him for a very long time before finally deciding that there were two possibilities: The first was that he really did have great power, but in order to pursue even higher realms, he usually kept that power sealed, only using it at crucial moments . ” The God of Heroes paused a moment, then continued, “Another possibility is that he wasn’t actually all that strong, but instead had some sort of extremely special skill which, when used, was enough to wipe out an entire god system . ”
Wenner couldn’t resist saying, “Are you saying you never considered a third possibility? Maybe a problem arose within the Elf God System itself . For example, perhaps the powerful God King wanted to attack a great Divine Power and got the entire God System to provide support, only to fail in the attack and have the Master of Mystery take advantage of their resulting weakness…”
“That’s possible as well, but I still trust in His Majesty’s judgment . ” The God of Heroes had no intention of arguing for the sake of arguing . He gently said, “In short, His Majesty believed that the Master of Mystery—or I suppose we should call him the God of Mystery from now on—had some sort of powerful trick which needed some preparation in order to employ . As long as you kept him from using this trick, you could defeat him effortlessly . ”
“But how did you keep him from using it?” asked Sui Xiong .
“That’s our secret,” said the God of Heroes with a smile . “The facts prove that His Majesty’s judgment was accurate . We didn’t waste much effort at all, neither did we suffer any deaths or injuries when we successfully defeated the Mystery God System and subdued the Master of Mystery . The sad thing is that the followers in his troops either died in battle or committed suicide, and the only survivor ran away…”
He looked at Sui Xiong as he spoke .
The fact that the God of Art and Culture had run to the Void Mask’s God’s Kingdom couldn’t be hidden from anyone .

If Sui Xiong had a nose, right now he’d probably be copying Chu Liuxiang and rubbing his nose to hide his embarrassment . But jellyfishes didn’t have noses…
“Hehe, by the way, how exactly are we splitting the profits?” Avoiding the subject was truly a simple and useful strategy .
The God of Heroes had no intention of insisting on embarrassing Sui Xiong, so he left it at that . He smiled and said, “Following the old rules, either you drop a level to split it, or each of you goes to pick one thing . ”
Sui Xiong didn’t understand what exactly “the old rules” were, so he turned his head to look at Wenner .
“We didn’t help with this battle, so when the time comes time to split the spoils of war, if we want to participate in the sharing of profits after inventory has been organized, we’ll have to lower a deity standard . For example, we have great Divine Power, so when splitting profits, our portion will be in accordance with those of mid-level Divine Power . Those two have mid-level Divine Power, so they’ll get a share for someone of a low-level Divine Power,” Wenner explained . “As for the latter option, that means we each get to pick one object from those that have yet to be chosen . Of course, you can pick a really good one, but however good it may be, it’d still be only one thing . ”
Sui Xiong nodded; he understood now .
Picking the first option would mean participating in an honest and open share of profits . Since he hadn’t put in any effort, sharing according to a lowered deity system was proper and expected . Picking the second option, meanwhile, meant leaving everything to chance and to your own visual judgment . If you had a good eye, you’d definitely have a chance of picking out something really good, but if you didn’t, then most likely you’d be better off going for the first option .

No, even if you did have a good eye, it wouldn’t be easy to find an object that could compare with the entirety of a mid-level Divine Power’s spoils!
Sui Xiong quietly started thinking . Based on his family background, the second option seemed to be a little more worthwhile .
He had spoils from a few big wars, so he already had a perfectly ample background . Forget all those things he’d gotten from the God of Underground Caves’ God’s Kingdom—back when Sui Xiong defeated the Fear God System and the Alliance of Evil Gods, it took Wall and the other followers nearly half a year before they finished moving all the inventory from the God’s Kingdoms of the various gods Sui Xiong had killed . All they’d left behind were empty shelves for the long-expectant “spectators” to share among themselves . They’d really struck the motherlode back then!
So if he received a mid-level Divine Power’s share of the profits, he didn’t think that he would like any of the things he got . Sui Xiong was better off picking out an object himself and maybe finding something better .
Having thought up to this point, Sui Xiong decided to speak up . But right at this moment, the God of Heroes paused slightly in surprise and said, “I just received news from His Majesty: he says that if you hadn’t sounded out the Master of Mystery’s fundamental weaknesses, we might not have been so prompt to act . We wouldn’t have had the chance to beat the War God System to the punch… so it can’t be said that you didn’t help . Therefore, if you are willing to choose the first option, your share can be that of a great Divine Power, and what His Majesty should originally have split into two parts, he is willing to share with you again . If you choose the second option, aside from the core of this God’s Kingdom, you are free to choose anything you’d like, including those things we have already moved away . ”
Sui Xiong was suddenly at a loss again . The former option undoubtedly had great value, as the Human God System had three great Divine Powers in all . Adding Sui Xiong in would be splitting the finest spoils into four parts . This would definitely be no small number of prizes, and most importantly, there would most likely be a lot of valuable objects among them too . However, the latter option was really good too . Keeping in mind that the Human God System had already moved away all the valuable treasures, the hope of finding something that had “slipped through the cracks” wasn’t very high to begin with . But if his range of choices had expanded to include even those treasures that had already been moved out, then its worth automatically went up by more than just one level .
With this turn of events, Sui Xiong couldn’t help finding this all a little difficult to decide .
It was at that moment that he suddenly heard a message from Wall .
“Your Majesty, Song Ballard (The God of Art and Culture) just told me that when she was escaping, the Master of Mystery contacted her and gave her a pair of strange coordinates . ”
He immediately gave Sui Xiong the coordinates . Sui Xiong turned and looked around at the entirety of Seven Colors Spring, his eyes immediately lighting up .
“I choose the second option,” he said in a loud voice . “I’ve got extreme confidence in my vision!”
