The God of Conspiracy laughed for a long time before he regained his composure. This time, there was no need for Sui Xiong to ask him any further questions. He was like a pile of beans spilling out of a bamboo tube as he gave a clear recount of the entire matter.

“It all started a long time ago. At that time, I... forget. Whatever happened at that time, we should just let it be. Anyway, there isn’t much significance,” he said. Then he sighed deeply and said, “Really, it doesn’t carry much significance. In a few words, back during the time when the God of Virtue disappeared, he left a piece of treasure that contained the pearl of the world.”

“It’s just one world. What’s the big deal?” Sui Xiong asked. Then he said, “Give me some time. I can also create a world.”

“That world is different,” said the God of Conspiracy. With a smile, he said, “It is capable of using its ‘free will.’”

“Is that rare? In my own God Kingdom, I can control things with my free will too.”

“So can you control your God Kingdom and produce infinite Divine Power in a split second?”

Sui Xiong was stunned and froze. He deliberated for a moment, then asked in surprise, “Do you mean to say, that world... its so-called ‘free will,’ is truly that spontaneous? I can do whatever I want, and it’s even possible if I say, ‘I’m going to jump in and become a greater Divine Power’?”

The God of Conspiracy nodded and said, “If that is not the case, what else could the Goddess of Life have depended on to be able to leave this enchantment that enveloped the Main Plane? No matter how powerful she had been, she couldn’t be so insanely powerful.”

Then Sui Xiong gained an understanding of the situation. His jaw dropped unconsciously, and he felt that if he had his glasses on, it would definitely have dropped to the ground and smashed to pieces.

A world that transcended all rules and truly allowed for “free will!”

At the thought of actually owning such a treasure, even someone as indifferent as he was also could not help starting to breathe more laboriously.

“But, the Goddess of Life had overused it, or maybe that treasure also had its limit... Anyway, something happened to it later on, and a part of it broke down,” said the God of Conspiracy. The second thing that he just said knocked some sense into Sui Xiong, who could not help cursing at this bastard in his heart for deliberately withholding the most important part of his story. This God of Conspiracy truly deserved to be dragged out for a good beating.

“Even if it’s partially damaged, what remains of its might is still incredibly powerful,” the God of Conspiracy continued to say. “The Goddess of Life left, so this thing, logically, has been handed down to me. With it in my hands, I’m placed in quite a dilemma. I can’t seem to use it nor place it anywhere.”

“Why? Just use it and gain a power that’s comparable to that of the Goddess of Life.”

“At the beginning, that was what I thought. But later on, after thinking about it, I realized that I was already one of the most powerful gods among the great Divine Powers. Even if I were to be pitted against the God of Water Elements, I might not necessarily lose. If I became any more powerful, would there be much significance?”

Sui Xiong thought about it. Then he shook his head.

At that moment, he could already guess the identity of the God of Conspiracy. But he did not want to be so frank.

From then to now, he had gone through so much along the way. For such a great god like himself, who used to be so incomparably glorious, it was indeed quite unbearable to recall all those painful memories. Though Sui Xiong was not on good terms with him, nor was he the kind of person who liked to wring out the pain of others, he would still rather pretend that he did not know anything.

“Of course, if I could use this to directly become a greater Divine Power, I would have used it. But the truth was that the Goddess of Life also did not use this to become a greater Divine Power,” said the God of Conspiracy. He went on to say, “So I thought, how should I make use of this? How can I maximize its benefits?”

Sui Xiong did not interrupt. He asked himself the same questions, and honestly, he felt that if it were him, he would not know how to put it to good use either.

No matter how it was used, he felt that it was overqualified for them. But in truth, if they truly wanted to “make full use” of it, there might also be problems.

Oh well, this was indeed a little frustrating...

“Later on, the God of Fire Elements... not the present one, but the one at that time, the one who died. That guy was very powerful. He was a master who had come from the previous universe era and lived up to the present...” said the God of Conspiracy. He paused for a moment, then asked, “Do you know anything about the previous universe? Do you want me to give you a brief introduction?”

“There’s no need for you to do that. I’ve met the God of Water Elements, and he had told me about this.”

“Oh, that’s good,” said the God of Conspiracy. He could not be bothered to ask further. Although he had immediately analyzed and drawn a great deal of information from this one sentence, everything was meaningless to him, who was already a dying person.

“The God of Earth Elements had killed the Master of Order, while the God of Wind Elements was too exhausted. The God of Fire Elements wanted to abandon his own priesthood of ‘fire’ and exchange it for a priesthood that could accommodate all other priesthoods... and you should know the outcome. When he tried to embrace the priesthood of ‘water,’ he exploded.”

Sui Xiong nodded. The God of Water Elements had told him about this.

“However, you may not know that he borrowed that piece of treasure from me when he wanted to make that attempt,” said the God of Conspiracy. “At that time, I could not figure out how to use this thing. But I figured it would be nice if it could help the God of Fire Elements become a greater Divine Power. I was a different person then, and it was quite easy to talk to me.”

Sui Xiong nodded and pondered a little. He could roughly figure out something, so he asked, “That treasure was also damaged?”

“Yes, it was further damaged a little bit,” said the God of Conspiracy. “I thought about it and felt that it might not even last a few more uses. So perhaps I should change the way I think.”

“Change the way you think?

“Yes. In this world, there’s no one from any of the later generations who has been able to become a greater Divine Power. The key lies in the fact that there are already four greater Divine Powers who are blocking their way. Don’t you think so?”

Sui Xiong thought for a while, then said, “Maybe you do make some sense.”

“If only there wasn’t the four greater Divine Powers standing in the way. When the God of Earth Elements successfully drove his Earth Element Plane to devour the Main Plane, he could have become a greater Divine Power,” said the God of Conspiracy, who went on to say, “So I thought to myself, why don’t I make use of this treasure, bring our Elf God System and some of the elites of the Elven race, and try to break through this world. We can head to a world where there’s no greater Divine Power or even any great Divine Powers—over there, I’ll naturally be invincible. If I want to try to achieve a breakthrough to become a greater Divine Power, there will be no one to stop me.”

Sui Xiong nodded. He felt that this solution sounded quite feasible.

“As for the rest of the story, I lost a part of my memory. Frankly speaking, I don’t know whether I succeeded or failed. But there’s one thing I’m certain of. Back then, the Elf God System left a great number of corpses that fell in the hands of the Master of Mystery. But that treasure was not amongst them. Instead, it went missing.

“After that, I was truly born. In the beginning, I was not aware of my identity. It’s just that I always had this feeling that there was something that I couldn’t seem to forget. Then, when I succeeded in becoming a sealed god, I suddenly recalled the existence of such a treasure... so I have been trying to track it down. After tracking it down for so long, I finally found out that the treasure had fallen into the hands of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest.”

“The Goddess of Bumper Harvest doesn’t seem to be much more powerful,” Sui Xiong said.

“So that treasure must have been even more severely damaged. Because the Goddess of Bumper Harvest had been restoring it for such a long time, but she was never truly able to fully restore it,” said the God of Conspiracy. “Then she too was annihilated. Of course, there was my plot amongst the many reasons for her fall. After she was gone, this thing fell into my hands. Then... it was snatched away by the Dragon of Chaos.”

Sui Xiong was silent. He was almost at the point of full understanding.

“You mean to say that I must fight ‘Chaos’ to death, then snatch that treasure from the Dragon of Chaos? And we don’t even know whether it still works or not?”

He could not help sneering as he said, “Your Majesty, the King of Elves, do I seem like a fool?”
