The universe was made up of numerous worlds of different sizes. Between two worlds, there was endless Void Space. These worlds and the Void Space formed a large circle, in which the power of the world came from the Positive Plane, moved through the Matter Plane into the Negative Plane. It then left the Negative Plane, moved through the Spirit Plane and back to the Positive Plane. This cycle was called the Ring of the World.
The holy kingdom of each god was also an independent world which had been built according to different preferences and sources. These worlds were located everywhere in the Ring of the World with no recurring pattern. Of course, there were some basic rules. For example, in the Matter Plane, the Main Plane of the strongest world could not have any large holy kingdoms because the Main Plane itself boasted great power. It was difficult for gods to build a large world there. A small world might be possible. Another example was that it was impossible to build a holy kingdom in the central area of the four planes of the Ring of the World. If a holy kingdom was built there, it would have to withstand the super pure and strong source power, which was impossible for gods. The only exception had been the Wheel of Order in the center of the Positive Plane of the Ring of the World.
Thus it could be seen that the God of Order had been really powerful and generous. In fact, it had been impossible for most gods to enter the central area of the four planes, let alone build their holy kingdoms there. Among the current gods, there were very few of them who had been to the central area of the four planes. One such deity was the God of Justice. He had been to the Wheel of Order in the central area of the Positive Plane where he had challenged the God of Order. Although he had been quickly defeated by the God of Order, his entering into this area had been enough to prove his power.
The holy kingdom of the Orc gods was called the Endless Field. In it sat the Matter Plane of the Ring of the World, close to the Negative Plane. Starting from here, passing a relatively short distance in the Void Space and going through a few worlds, one could skip through the huge cycle and enter into the Negative Plane of the Ring of the World.
It was a long way from the Main Plane to getting there. Generally speaking, one had to rely on famous landmarks and make a few space jumps to arrive there quickly.
Instead of going that far, the avatar of Sui Xiong had made a giant space jump, directly arriving at the Endless Field.
His vision had been shaken fiercely for a long time. When the shaking stopped, he didn’t see the holy kingdom of the Desolation God System anymore, but rather, a larger world that even a god could not find its borders.
The holy kingdom of the Desolation God System had been a part of the Endless Field. Morani and others surely knew the exact coordinates of it since they had been living in the Endless Field for so long. Knowing that these two worlds had been in the same plane and had the exact same coordinates, Sui Xiong made this extraordinarily long-distance space jump possible.
Different from the holy kingdom of the Desolation God System, which Sui Xiong jokingly called the “circle of friends,” the Endless Field was amazingly vast. Floating in the sky, Sui Xiong gazed into the distance only to see the desolated Endless Field stretching out of his sight.
The field had been no different from that of the Main Plane, save for the higher mountains, the lusher grass, the abundant resources, and of course the fiercer devil monsters.
For example, Sui Xiong had been flying for a while in the direction given by Morani when a great wave surged in the miles-wide river on the ground. A monster looking like a fish with strong arms appeared from the wave, walked on the clouds, and fiercely rushed towards him.
This monster had been really powerful. If it went to the Main Plane, it would be a disastrous danger. But it was not powerful enough to Sui Xiong’s avatar. Considering that he was not here to make trouble, Sui Xiong didn’t kill this monster. He just knocked it down back to the river with his tentacles.
But as Sui Xiong continued, he kept meeting all kinds of monsters. They were all strange and evil looking, and none of them were willing to sit down and talk to him. Instead, they just attacked Sui Xiong with loud roars. Although Sui Xiong had been extraordinarily strong and repelled them one by one, he couldn’t help but be annoyed.
“Is this the holy kingdom of the Orc God System or the home of the monster troops!” he complained. “Morani is unreliable! How could he tell me nothing about the terrible situation here?”
“It’s not his fault,” came a calm voice beside him. Sui Xiong was scared by that and prepared all his tentacles to fight; then he looked over.
He froze at what he saw.
He didn’t know when a god, who looked like a man with a canine head, appeared next to him. This god was of great height and had a strong build. He was much more handsome than those short and weak Dogmen and looked elegant even with his canine head. Compared to average Orcs, it was only his linen robes and the hoe on his shoulder that had exposed who he was.
“Your Excellency is… the God of Agriculture from the Orc gods?” Sui Xiong made a guess.
In his impression, there had been no such god in the divine position of agriculture among the Orc gods. However, the Orc God System was so large that there had been many followers that had advanced to the level of a real god. But they only took trivial divine positions. Maybe this was one of those.
The Dogman god laughed and said, “I’m learning agriculture, but I haven’t taken the divine position yet. Your Majesty, Void Mask comes from afar, I was in such a hurry to welcome you that I forgot to change my clothes. I’m sorry.”
With the glorious light floating around him, the god put on a brutal-looking leather armor and wore a bone crown on his head.
Sui Xiong immediately recognized him.
Isn’t he the Master God of the Orc God System, the “Sky Devourer Canine” Lefon!?
However, why did such a master god look like a farmer?
With a smile on his face, Lefon tapped the air with the hoe in his hand, and the scenery around them changed suddenly. They went to the middle of the Endless Field where there were mountains and rivers. However, the land between the mountains and the rivers had been cultivated. Countless Orcs, Semi-Orcs and even some powerful gods were farming there.
“What’s going on here?” Sui Xiong opened his eyes wide. “Morani told me that there were many nomads and soldiers and very few farmers in your holy kingdom. But why does it look like that there are all farmers here?”
“This is a test,” Lefon said. “I’m wondering if the Orcs can change their long-standing lifestyle into one where agriculture is the main focus, and animal breeding is subsidiary.”
“You turned the entire Orc God System into this just because you were curious?” Sui Xiong was surprised at that. “Did the other gods agree with you?”
“Of course not!” It was not Lefon that gave this answer, but a strong man with an elephant head in the distance. This man, as tall as a three-storied building, bent his hoe in two and threw it on the ground. He stretched his hand behind him and took out a large battle axe.
“I want to challenge you!” he shouted to Lefon.
While saying that, the god with an elephant head rushed towards them with a roar. He was surely ranked high among the gods. Surrounded by his Divine Power, he grew taller and stronger with every step. When he rushed in front of Lefon and Sui Xiong , he had turned into a giant whose every step shook the mountains and the earth. Even Sui Xiong was secretly astonished.
Compared with this giant, Lefon was much smaller in size. However, he had never been frightened by the giant’s power. He just waved his hand, and a huge hand even larger than the giant in the air appeared. The large hand held the giant up in the sky and then dropped him to the ground heavily.
The powerful god was unable to stand up, and his body had changed back to how he looked before. It was weird that with such a heavy drop, there were no sounds or vibrations. Even the plants in the field were not damaged.
That made Sui Xiong quite impressed, and he couldn’t help but praise Lefon. He had a more intuitive understanding of this master god’s power.
“Minster has always been reckless and can’t keep calm.” After throwing that powerful god on the ground and making him unable to get backup, Lefon turned to Sui Xiong with a smile and said, “As you can see, there are a lot of Orcs that disagree with me. However, they can’t beat me in a fight, so they have to till the land obediently.”
Sui Xiong was stunned for a while and suddenly remembered something, so he asked, “So… did all the Orc Gods in the Pantheon temple disappear just for that?”
“Yes. They are forced to till the land here by me.”
“You’re a tyrant!” the god with the elephant head shouted. Sui Xiong had known who he was; he was the God of Strength who had once overturned the chariot of a master god for having a different opinion than him. He was the Irritable Giant Elephant Minster.
“You have stained the great and glorious tradition of the Orcs!” Minster shouted again.
Lefon smiled unconcernedly; then he lifted his foot and kicked Minster.
“Idiot, do not try to use your brain that has been rusting away for thousands of years to try and guess my thoughts! You just have to do what I say,” Lefon said with a smile. “Go ahead and do your work!”
Minster could do nothing but curse and go back to farm. Lefon shrugged his shoulders and said to Sui Xiong , “Well, it’s almost like that.”
Sui Xiong was puzzled and did not know what to say.
Before this trip, he had imagined what he would encounter. Sui Xiong thought that maybe the Orc gods would speak ill of him, or his avatar would be blown up in the Endless Field; maybe the Sky Devourer Canine would suppress him in the Endless Field and force him to join the Orc God system. If he remained faithful and refused to join them, he would be boiled into cold, jellyfish stew. All in all, he had expected only terrible things.
But he had never expected that he would see a group of farmers who were oppressed by their master god to plow fields.
This was definitely not the style of the Orcs!
