After the discussion, Damwade left with joy and excitement. Only Sui Xiong and Crick spoke face to face in the God’s Kingdom.
“I didn’t imagine that we would see each other again,” Sui Xiong sighed and said. “I didn’t think that there would be such a day!”
Crick shook his head. “Your thoughts are so strange. I am you, and we are just the same person from different destinies going to different directions. To tell you the truth, I wonder if you have schizophrenia. You are just like someone in the online novels who says such words as ‘I meet an old friend’ to his incarnation.”
Sui Xiong laughed bitterly. “It seems that you are right! I’m just like someone in the online novels.”
“Yes. When I read that novel, I used to ridicule it more than once. But when certain things happened, you did such a stupid thing!”
Sui Xiong was speechless and sighed. “An insignificant division can produce such a different result. That really makes me lament this wonderful fate!”
“Insignificant division?” Crick sighed. “Look at you and look at me. We are totally different!”
Sui Xiong understood what he meant and could not help but sigh.
To be honest, Sui Xiong was also a little puzzled. Why didn’t he feel uncomfortable with a jellyfish body since he was actually a man over the years? He didn’t feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, he felt very comfortable with this jellyfish body, and he had no intention of changing into a human form again.
Among all the gods, many gods’ noumenons were huge, such as a mountain, a cloud, an ocean or a flame. For example, Sui Xiong’s noumenon was a big jellyfish, and that was nothing compared to them. But no matter what their noumenons were, when they interacted with other gods, they would likely change into human beings with only a few exceptions.
It was said that this was a rule made by the Goddess of Life, which was approved by the Master of Order and had become a law of the world. It was unclear whether this rule was true or not but nobody was going to seek for the truth. They could not seek for truth anyway. Could they seek for truth from the Master of Order? Weren’t they afraid of being killed by the Master of Order?
Sui Xiong was a rare special case. He was very powerful, and his mode of thinking was very similar to human beings, but he was always in the form of a jellyfish. Except for hiding his identity, he seldom changed into a human form. It was so strange for a god.
He had thought about it himself before, but he could not figure it out. He had also created human incarnations and tried to change into a human form, but he always felt uncomfortable. Finally, he changed back to a jellyfish.
At this moment, Crick raised this question again, but he was distressed and did not know what was going on.
“You don’t have to head blindly towards a dead end. Existence is reasonable.” Crick saw his eyebrows knitted and his face show an expression of, “What’s wrong? What’s going on?” He could not help but advise, “I remembered that when I was in school, more than one professor had severely criticized some famous paintings that were sold at very high prices. He said that they deviated from the essence of art and were nothing more than tools for hype and money laundering. But so what? Among those professors, there were many respected elders, even those who could be regarded as masters at art festivals. But their criticisms could not shake the status of the famous painters who had made huge profits. Even those paintings that I could draw better than with my eyes closed could be regarded as a symbol of art and be crowned with a high price. So what’s wrong with a person changing into a jellyfish?”
“They are not the same thing.”
“Of course, they are not the same thing. That’s a big deal!” Crick said rudely. “As an artist, I don’t care if I’m a human or a jellyfish.”
“Ah?”
“What was wrong with a jellyfish? With so many tentacles, a jellyfish can hold more than a dozen brushes at the same time with different sizes and colors and can draw whatever it wants. It can also put its hands freely on the drawing board. How relaxing and how convenient!” Crick laughed. “It’s more convenient to make statues. Chisels, chisels, and knives are all in its hand at the same time, and they can work in all directions together. Its tentacles can even pick up the whole statue and adjust its position arbitrarily. Think it over carefully; it’s really super convenient! ”
Sui Xiong could not help but nod. “Yes! Super convenient! It’s also very convenient to fight with people. There is a saying that a strong man cannot resist two punches at the same time. When I fight with people, I can hit ten or throw out hundreds of punches at the same time.”
After saying that, Sui Xiong laughed loudly and showed an expression of, “I’m so strong.” It made Crick laughed.
“Well, now that it’s all right. I’ll just go,” Crick said. “I’m going to train the Oracle troops.”
“Hmm? Can you really train the Oracle troops?”
“I can train them a little, such as quick marching, raising a gun or a left stab.”
“Those Oracles are essentially human warships, what you have just said is useless for them.”
“Yes. So, I can’t train them.” Crick laughed. “But other people can help me.”
Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
“You are right. Anyways, you are the one to do it.”
“Not me, but yourself!” Crick said rudely. “If you go on like this, you will have to see a brain doctor.”
“Is there a brain doctor in this world?”
“Yes. If your hands or feet or head hurt, the doctor will just cut your hands or feet or head. His medicine will take effect as soon as you take it.” Crick sneered. “I’ve seen a few of them myself.”
Sui Xiong recalled that he was talking about those witch doctors who spent their lives through the means of some bad magic and deception.
As for the fate of those witch doctors, of course, they were arranged by Crick to study medicine compulsorily. Among them, those who would like to correct their mistakes and learn honestly became real doctors. As for those who were always cheating and trying to muddle through would naturally be killed.
Crick Keane was able to stabilize the regime and withstand pressure from all sides, not just by uniting people and fantasies, but also by using different powerful means when needed.
The discussion in the God’s Kingdom came to an end. Sui Xiong once again started his god-making plan without telling the others.
While in the mortal world, Damwade returned with a generous reward that made people feel jealous of him.
Compared with the mage who made the preservation box and designed the preservation magic last month, Damwade, who designed the fertilizer manufacturing technique, looked much lower and had no sense of superiority. Many traditional mages even thought that he had lowered to the professional style of a “mage” and scorned him.
However, he received a much richer reward than his counterpart.
That mage did not mind at all, but many unrelated people could not help but feel indignant. They thought that the Void Mask was unfair. They tried hard to seek for the truth and eventually found it out from Damwade.
It turned out that the late Baron Crick Keane had become the Holy Spirit of the Void Mask and he had a good friendship with Damwade in his lifetime. It could even be said that Damwade, an ordinary mage who was not outstanding at all, was entirely supported by Crick. Damwade got a lot of extra rewards from his help.
“Damwade is so lucky!” someone said indignantly. “He is so lucky to meet such a powerful friend! If I had known Baron Crick Keane, I would have had all of his achievements! Maybe I could even be stronger than him!”
But more people were shocked by the news.
Crick Keane, whose soul had disappeared after his death, became the Holy Spirit of the Void Mask?!
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it made sense. Baron Keane’s many policies were similar to those of the Northwest Republic. It could be seen that Crick Keane and the Void Mask had a lot in common in their ideas. Wasn’t this exactly the chance for Crick to become the Holy Spirit of the Void Mask?
The so-called Holy Spirit had no faith. As long as one’s principles of life had fit the ideas of a god, he could naturally be promoted by the god after death. That was exactly the case with Crick Keane!
But, Crick Keane was a very powerful man. He was respected as the world’s greatest talent for his wisdom and political strategy over the last hundred years. If his own strength was powerful enough, he would establish a country. Now, he had become the Holy Spirit of the Void Mask and was backed by the super powerful man who could compete for the top three among the gods. It was obvious that he would make such a great achievement!
In this way, those who were in conflict with the Void Mask and the church of the Void Mask would suffer!
Under this circumstance, as Sui Xiong hoped, everyone had focused on Crick Keane and relaxed their attention on Damwade.
