There were things that did not need to be revealed; there were also things that did not need an explanation.

But Sui Xiong still could not help himself.

He was very angry.

The plan of the God of Conspiracy was as follows: Tell Sui Xiong the news about the treasure left behind by the God of Virtue. Out of greed or curiosity, he will naturally find trouble with the Dragon of Chaos and try to seize that treasure. The moment he gets that treasure, he will owe the God of Conspiracy a favor all because he had gotten this crucial information from the God of Conspiracy.

The gods were different from mortals. They were very particular about so-called “karma.” Even the gods in those chaotic evil camps and the evil gods and demons had to adhere to this most basic principle. Returning a favor was the exact embodiment of this basic principle.

Of course, the ways on how to “return the favor” were not definite. Take one of the most extreme examples, for instance. For the demons who symbolized that the world was ultimately bound for destruction, perhaps allowing painless destruction of the fellow whom they owed a favor to would be their way of returning the favor.

However, Sui Xiong was not that sort of person. His way of returning favors was no different from the general public. So on top of owing the God of Conspiracy a favor, if Sui Xiong had the chance to fight “Chaos” in the future, it was inevitable that he could not relent till he had killed “Chaos.” And this was all because he needed to return this favor.

Therefore, Sui Xiong was very angry.

He had learned about the endings of the three greater Divine Powers from the Master of Order:

The God of Virtue had given up his priesthood and power. His whereabouts were unknown. The things that he had given up probably became that piece of treasure. First, it fell into the hands of the Goddess of Life. Then, it landed in the hands of the King of Elves before falling into the hands of the Goddess of Bumper Harvest. Now, it was in the hands of the Dragon of Chaos.

The God of Evil had set a trap that almost killed the Master of Chaos and had devoured him. However, he could not truly digest the power of the Master of Chaos. Instead, he fell into a state of madness and became this horrifying monster called “Chaos.” He was now hidden deep in the abyss, perhaps in the core of the abyss or perhaps at the bottommost part of the abyss. On ordinary days, he would be in a deep slumber, but he would wake up once in a while. This would usually lead to an eruption within the abyss where devils would run rampant and rain down attacks everywhere.

The Master of Chaos was severely injured by the God of Evil and almost lost his life. The last remnants of his existence transformed into the Dragon of Chaos. And no one knew if he still preserved the strength and wisdom he had during his time as a greater Divine Power. But even if he was only left with that little bit of remains, he was still extremely powerful. Even the God of Justice, Yorgaardman, who was one of the most powerful gods among the great Divine Powers, did not have the confidence of defeating him.

Judging from how the Dragon of Chaos seized that treasure left behind by the God of Virtue, it seemed that he still retained the memories of his time as the late Master of Chaos. The reason for him robbing this piece of treasure was probably to take revenge.

After all, with his power, other than dealing with “Chaos,” would there be any other matter that required him to use that treasure?

If he went according to the plan of the God of Conspiracy, Sui Xiong would first have to defeat the Dragon of Chaos and seize that treasure. And then he would have to fight “Chaos” to the death.

What the hell! Is this something humanly possible? The difficulty level is way too high!

No matter what the benefits were, it was definitely not worth defeating two greater Divine Powers or even having to kill one of the two.

Also… the most important thing was that Sui Xiong was not the least bit confident in killing “Chaos.”

Sui Xiong once met that fellow. But when the other party awoke, Sui Xiong felt an extreme sense of danger and ran for dear life. Although he was much stronger now, would this power be strong enough to make up for the gap between the two of them?

Sui Xiong was not confident at all.

The most important thing was, who was he to contest the Dragon of Chaos and “Chaos?” Who was he indeed!

Treasure? What was the big deal about this treasure!

Greater Divine Power? Out of those few who came to possess this treasure, who had successfully become greater Divine Powers?

This was why he was so furious.

From his point of view, the God of Conspiracy was just a con artist trying to gain something without investing anything. He wanted to make use of a piece of information that had no great value in exchange for Sui Xiong to fight these two battles.

There was simply no such good thing in this world!

Therefore, he did not bother about showing any manners, nor did he think twice about giving face. He opened his mouth to directly expose the true identity of the God of Conspiracy, and he did so most unceremoniously.

The God of Conspiracy, on the contrary, did not fly into a rage upon being exposed by Sui Xiong. He merely sighed deeply and said, “Aren’t you interested in that treasure?”

“I’m interested,” Sui Xiong replied. “But I’ll definitely not risk my life by going all out to fight two greater Divine Powers just for it.”

“You’re thinking along the wrong track. Although a battle with ‘Chaos’ is inevitable, at least you don’t need to fight all out with the Dragon of Chaos. So long as you give it the right conditions, that fellow is absolutely willing to use this treasure to trade with you,” said the God of Conspiracy. “There’s nothing in this world that can’t be traded.”

Sui Xiong snorted and asked, “You know the true identities of the Dragon of Chaos and ‘Chaos?’”

“I don’t know, but I can more or less make a guess,” replied the God of Conspiracy. “Back then, the God of Chaos suddenly disappeared for no reason, and soon after, the God of Evil also disappeared. After some time, ‘Chaos’ appeared and was followed by the appearance of the Dragon of Chaos… According to what I have inferred and concluded, it’s possible that the God of Chaos has been dissevered. But it’s not clear whether he did it to himself or if someone did it to him. The part of him that was more inclined towards goodness became the Dragon of Chaos. And the remaining part was accepted by the God of Evil and both merged into ‘Chaos,’ right?”

“Almost. So what do you think is the exact reason for why the Dragon of Chaos stole this treasure from you?” Sui Xiong asked.

“Probably due to the need for self-protection. Clearly, there’s a problem with the state of ‘Chaos.’ Or perhaps, the Dragon of Chaos had to be completely devoured to achieve true completion.”

Sui Xiong froze for a moment. He had not thought about this possibility. Then he asked, “There’s nothing wrong with this thought either. So how strong do you think ‘Chaos’ will be?”

“I’m not too sure. But I can be sure of one thing,” the God of Conspiracy said. “Out of all the living creatures that ever existed in this world, out of all these existences, there’s none that has grown as fast as you. When you first appeared, at best, you would have just stepped up to the level of a real god. At that time, if I had been willing to, I would have taken the risk of losing some Divine Power to send a clone down. I would have been able to defeat you. But in a short period of 60 years, you’ve become so powerful that I was unable to keep pace with your progress. I don’t think I could even estimate how powerful your true strength is now.

“Among all the gods, if there’s any who could possibly destroy ‘Chaos,’ it could be no one else but you.”

He spoke so earnestly that one could tell how much serious thought he had put into this matter. And he had given very sound reasons—of all the gods now, there was no one who was confident of defeating “Chaos.” So naturally, using “possibility” as the factor of consideration was the only way out.

And if they were to talk about possibility, then Sui Xiong was indeed the most hopeful one.

“Using such a short time, you have become the best among all the great Divine Powers. Maybe in a hundred or two hundred years, you can step into the realm of a greater Divine Power, or at least make your way up to the threshold of a greater Divine Power,” the God of Conspiracy said. “In the times to come, you’ll surely want to seek experience in fighting against other greater Divine Powers—the Dragon of Chaos will be a good opponent. So you’ll definitely have to fight him.

“Likewise, after you have defeated the Dragon of Chaos, in order to complete his entirety, ‘Chaos’ will definitely take the opportunity to try to devour the Dragon of Chaos. This is the best chance for you to get rid of that guy.”

With that, the God of Conspiracy laughed again.

“You see, you don’t have to do anything special. The opportunity will come knocking on your door by itself. All you have to do is to destroy ‘Chaos’ after you have defeated him.”
