Chapter 281

The God of Light beheaded the Sun God and firmly stood there like the master of the universe high above, making one want to give up any idea of confronting him .

It had already proven its mighty strength and that no one should dare to stand against it ever since . Otherwise, whoever it was would only be cutting his own throat .

The Sun God’s great power had been known to all, particularly when it had even been about to reach the level of the Great Divine Powers before its death . Still, it had been killed by the God of Light so easily, so it was clear that the God of Light’s power had already surpassed this level .

Or did it mean… it had not only reached the level of the Great Divine Powers but also gained an initial understanding?

Thinking of this possibility, gods who’d had issues with the God of Light or the human god system before instantly felt nervous . In a cold sweat, they felt gloomy, with no hope for the future . What bothered them was merely how to apologize or escape .

Yet none of them noticed that under the helmet and mask, the God of Light’s face had turned pale, and it could barely stand .

Its killing method was actually at the price of its health . When it had been killing the Sun God, it had also been injuring itself at the same time . But with its armor—an amazing holy weapon that guided its body through its mind when it was injured to mobilize equal power—its weakness had been concealed .

Recovering was usually quite fast for a god, as long as it hadn’t actually fallen on site . The God of Light stood there still and mobilized its divine power to try to heal itself . Then it started to regain energy quickly, nearly recovered before long .

But right at this moment, the giant fireball which had been cut out and was going out suddenly shot out a dozen lights . These lights flew out at an incredible speed in all directions . They were so fast that most gods present couldn’t even identify them, let alone stop any .

The God of Light frowned . It had seen those lights but hadn’t managed to stop any as it was still recovering—in fact, it hadn’t even tried to . It had no idea of what had caused those lights and felt somewhat concerned .

This must have been arranged by the Sun God, the God of Glory at its last moment . But what exactly was it? When and how did it come out? It’s completely unknown .

It sighed silently . Finally, it hadn’t had the best outcome it had wished for .

Those lights ran away in the blink of an eye in several directions .

The Master of Mystery was thinking about the God of Light’s uncommon way of fighting when it saw a light coming through the barrier of its holy kingdom, and its own defense straightened its body .

The orc gods were busy casting divine powers on the main plane to dispatch their doppelgangers when a light came and hit Lefon .

And in the dim and gloomy underworld, a light ripped up the darkness and crashed onto the giant shadow lying on the gray soil bank of the underworld’s river .

The Master of War was swinging its sword, imitating the last attack of the God of Light when a light suddenly came from behind and hit its back .

Goddess Gaia was deep in thought of the future with all human gods with its eyes closed silently when a light rushed onto its head .

The God of Justice was trudging through a torrent when it was suddenly enlightened and turned its head . A light arrived to hit its face right at this moment .

…

As such, loads of powerful gods, including those with a bad relationship with the human god system, had been hit by the lights . All of them were stunned and confused .

Even more of a surprise, Sui Xiong was among the ones who had been hit by the light .

He was surprised at first, as well, for hadn’t ever expected this from the Sun God at its last moment . But then he was astonished to discover that this light hadn’t caused any injury to him, only unimaginable benefits—this common-looking light contained a full understanding of all priesthood and realms mastered by the Sun God through its long-term exploration, accumulation, and study .

This was not a guarantee to take charge of the priesthood or even grasp a full understanding of the origin of the world by combining all priesthood to break through the Great Divine Powers, but with all the knowledge brought by this light, it meant taking a prominent step towards any priesthood position or any study of powers, as it was with a strong support of all this reliable knowledge and material .

This was the last gift of the Sun God to those it had believed might challenge the God of Light or those in irreconcilable ideological conflicts with human gods or against the God of Light . With a full study of this gift and adequate growth, each of them would be able to reach or even exceed the highest level that the Sun God had ever achieved .

In its last hours, the Sun God had finally come to its senses and cast its last, but most powerful, trick ever .

It was not a plot, but a fair plan . For all the gods who had received its gifts—willingly or not—had already been on the road towards the Great Divine Powers . Besides, even if some might not have been willing to receive, they had in fact already become the successors of the Sun God’s heritage and therefore, the potential enemies of the God of Light .

Its potential enemies .

Maybe the word “potential” would have been removed by the God of Light, for they were undoubted enemies already . Even if some of these gods might have offered to share this gift with it, still, it could not rule out the possibility of confronting this god as having such knowledge being a chance to inherit the Sun God’s capability towards the Great Divine Powers, which would probably hamper the rise of the God of Light .

Although it was not destined to happen, it was concerning enough .

The powerful gods would never give up their pursuit of the Great Divine Powers, while the less powerful ones would not disclose their secrets of powers to the God of Light . As time went by, all of them would become enemies of the God of Light, neck and neck enemies .

Though the God of Light was truly powerful, would it strong enough to fight against such a large group?

This would be hard to say, but the dominant answer was “no . ”

This was why the Sun God had planned its last fight back in the hope that these gods would be against the God of Light someday in the future, like say, the Void Mask, who had clearly shown its hatred for aristocracy and even theocracy .

Since Sui Xiong was not good with plots and deception, he could not come up with more, though he was very clear on how valuable the knowledge he had received was, as well as the old saying “simply carrying jade will turn innocent into guilty . ”

Thus, soon after he noticed what had been sent to him, he immediately cast the charm of “over-distance transport” to return to his shelter .

Such behavior, though abrupt, was his only option, because he had found it difficult to stay there any longer . He felt that the surrounding gods had already noticed he was in possession of the Sun God’s heritage, and he had even feared that they would start to punch him in the next second, and he would end up in jellyfish salad .

He was not completely relieved until he arrived at the peaceful shelter .

When he was about to think twice about the Sun God’s intention, he suddenly realized the fact that the world-shaking battle was still on, and this was not the time to think about this issue!

Instantly, he dispatched a doppelganger for battle and rushed to the battlefield of the orc gods and the God of Knights .

Yet when he arrived there, the battle was already over .

The God of Knights had lost the battle and died .
