Chapter 493: Chapter 33
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Three companions had died in succession . After that, even though the Queen of Water Elements had had a strong will, she couldn’t help but be discouraged .
More importantly, she had been really scared .
From great Divine Power to greater Divine Power, this step was too dangerous . She had asked herself, Why should I go further to reach the highest peak? I’m already almost at the top of the gods . Compared to the past, I still have a good life . What’s more, even if I become a greater Divine Power, what will be the difference? Are greater Divine Powers better? There were four greater Divine Powers . After a short time, there is only one left now . Their survival time is not as long as we Rulers of the Four Elements .
With such an idea, the Queen of Water Elements had been quiet for a long time without any movement .
“Hold on!” Sui Xiong interrupted her narrative . Then he asked, “You just said that there were four greater Divine Powers . After a short time, there is only one left now?”
“Yes . ”
“Why?” Sui Xiong asked curiously . “I have been very curious about this, but no one knows why . I originally thought that unless I could ask the Master of Order, I would never know the reason . Unexpectedly, there is an insider here!”
After being silent for a while, the Queen of Water Elements said, “Actually, that is not a secret . All the ancient gods probably know why . In general, there is no difference between the situation of we four rulers . ”
“Do you mean that they also pursued higher realms and then they died one by one?”
“Almost,” the Queen of Water Elements said . Obviously, she didn’t mean to keep a secret for the greater Divine Powers . She was even willing to tell Sui Xiong her own secret today, let alone others’ .
“First of all, the God of Evil managed to attack the Master of Chaos . The specific approach was probably like this . He led the Master of Chaos into the center of the Negative Plane that he controlled, and then he launched a powerful sneak attack . As for how he attacked him in detail, I wasn’t there at that time, so I didn’t see it with my eyes . But I still knew the result . The Master of Chaos was severely wounded, so he had to give up his body and most of his Divine Power to escape . Maybe he was afraid that the God of Evil would wait for him at his home, so he didn’t return to the Spirit Plane . He healed himself in a secret place that was unknown . The Dragon of Chaos, the ancestor of the devils that we usually see, can be regarded as the reincarnation of his residual power . ”

Sui Xiong nodded, expressing that he understood .
The Dragon of Chaos was actually one of the greater Divine Powers, but he was only a reincarnation . Moreover, he was the reincarnation of the residue . The reincarnation of his residue was already so powerful, so how powerful was the Master of Order? The Master of Order was comparable to the Master of Chaos .
His elder brother wanted to challenge the Master of Order . After hearing that, Sui Xiong thought that it was impossible for his elder brother to win .
“The God of Evil won, and everyone thought that he might go further . However, the result was exactly the opposite . After devouring what the Master of Chaos had abandoned, he couldn’t digest it at all . Instead, because the power was too condensed, he was dominated by chaos,” the Queen of Water Elements said, shaking her head . “You have been to the abyss, right? As the core area of the Negative Plane, the abyss should have been an extremely evil place, and everything else should have been secondary . But now, chaos is the theme of the abyss, and evil is a secondary one . It is conceivable how the situation of the God of Evil is . ”
Sui Xiong carefully recalled what he had seen and heard in the abyss and then he understood her meaning .
If nothing was wrong with the God of Evil, he should have occupied the Spirit Plane on the basis of the Negative Plane . However, in fact, either in the Spirit Plane or in the Negative Plane, there were no leaders . Sui Xiong had never heard of any rulers .
Moreover, even if the Spirit Plane was occupied by the God of Evil for a while, there should have been an obvious tendency towards evil . However, as far as Sui Xiong knew, the situation of the Spirit Plane was similar to that of the Matter Plane . There was no particularly obvious tendency towards good or evil .
In other words, although the God of Evil had won, he hadn’t succeeded . Instead, he had suffered a huge failure . It was very likely that he had been eroded too much by chaos . He had lost his clear thoughts .
At this moment, Sui Xiong was suddenly shocked . He remembered a guy he had met before . The strange chaos that had summoned him! It was so powerful and horrible that he felt he would never fight against it!
Could it be… the God of Evil?
He hurriedly told her his experience at that time . After hearing his narrative with interest, the Queen of Water Elements said, nodding, “Yes, what you met was him . It seems that he hasn’t been able to fully digest his rich loot . Otherwise, even if he is half awake, you wouldn’t have the chance to escape from him . ”

Sui Xiong disagreed with her words . He felt that even if he met the God of Evil when the God of Evil was completely awake, he could run away then . Of course, if he said that, they would argue for the sake of arguing . Therefore, he didn’t say that .
After telling Sui Xiong the story of the God of Evil and the Master of Chaos, the Queen of Water Elements began to talk about the God of Virtue .
According to her introduction, the God of Virtue had given up his priesthood and deity . He had given them to the Master of Order . However, the Master of Order believed that order should be neutral between good and evil, so he had refused to accept this gift . As a result, the Master of Order had forged them into the Wheel of Order . It was located high at the center of the front of the Ring of the World . The Master of Order usually sat in it, maintaining the running of the world .
“Damn! Comparisons are odious!” Sui Xiong complained . He couldn’t help but smile . “The God of Evil spent so much energy and paid such a great price, but finally he didn’t get the real benefit . However, the Master of Order did nothing, and he got what the God of Evil dreamed of . Fortunately, the God of Evil has been stupid . If he is still awake, I am afraid that he’ll be extremely angry!”
After sighing, he curiously asked about the whereabouts of the God of Virtue .
“Nobody knows,” the Queen of Water Elements said, shaking her head . “Since the day he went to the Matter Plane to visit the Master of Order, no one has known his whereabouts . I think that maybe he died quietly somewhere, or maybe he still lives a leisurely life in a quiet and peaceful place . Of course, it is possible that he made a breakthrough after giving up the clergy of Virtue . Maybe he has reached a higher level than the greater Divine Power . According to my personal feelings, I hope that this could happen to him . ”
Naturally, Sui Xiong understood the idea of the Queen of Water Elements . If the God of Virtue really surpassed the greater Divine Power, it would mean that the road ahead was still a long way . Compared to surpassing greater Divine Power, it was certainly much easier to surpass great Divine Power . Undoubtedly, it would be a great encouragement to those great Divine Powers, including the Queen of Water Elements .
“If someone abandons his own priesthood and deity, will he have the opportunity to make a breakthrough?” Sui Xiong asked .
“Maybe, I’m not sure,” the Queen of Water Elements said, shaking her head . “This is a road, but I dare not try it readily .
“In the past few years, many gods tried this road, but no one succeeded as far as I know,” she said, sighing . “The most recent god who made an attempt was the first god of humans, the God of Knight . According to the level of his power at the end of his life, perhaps he really found the way to enter the greater Divine Power . However, he was extremely weak . He had no power to go through that way . What a pity!”
When the God of Knight had fallen, Sui Xiong had been participating in the battle against the Sun God System . Later, he had learned of the scene from his friends . Every one of his friends who had told him at that time hadn’t forgotten to emphasize this point . The God of Knight hadn’t had any priesthood at all, but his power had suddenly increased .
Now, he finally knew why .
“So, what road did you try?” Sui Xiong asked .
“The one I tried was mainly to build a system of Big Circulation,” the Queen of Water Elements said . “However, I didn’t rush to occupy other planes . I built a small world on my own, and I formed a microscopic Big Circulation in it . I tried to resolve and master the mysteries in it . ”
“Have you made it?” Sui Xiong asked .
“Now, water is the main force for most worlds to circulate . Tell me, have I made it?” The God of Water Element showed an uncommon smile, though the smile immediately disappeared . “However, that’s all . I achieved such a result hundreds of thousands of years ago, and I haven’t made any further improvement for hundreds of thousands of years . ”
“Why?” Sui Xiong asked .
“I thought about a lot of possibilities, and I did a lot of experiments . In the end, I thought it was probably decided by my own essence . Even though I mastered the mystery of the Big Circulation, I could only reflect it as the water circulation . Only beyond water can I make a true breakthrough and become a greater Divine Power . ”
Sui Xiong nodded slightly . He felt that her guess was very reasonable .
“And this is why I want to meet you and talk to you,” the Queen of Water Elements said, looking at Sui Xiong . Her eyes glowed with passion . “You come from the ocean and belong to the aquatic life . How can you completely get rid of your own nature? Besides the appearance, both the quality of your power and the temperament of your soul have no relationship with the ocean . I am really, really curious!”

The Core: The First Guest (Book 1 of 3)
Book two starts here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/46417/the-core-the-hive-daughter-book-2-of-3 --- Kevin was just a normal 10 year old kid until he saw a woman vanish right before his eyes. This made Kevin just a little bit different. He paid more attention to people now. Little did he know that this little difference would kill him the next time he encountered another alien about to return home. It would tear him apart, cell by cell, until he was unmade. His mind being transported away. So distantly far away there is a race that advanced to the point where they built dyson spheres to house their civilizations. In their continual expansion, they seeded galaxies with pods and connection satellites. Over time they upgraded their dyson spheres into matryoshka brain Cores. Imagine a computer powered by a star. Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn’t age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives. Citizens can visit other planets and live there as if they were on a "vacation". Mercury is Earth’s hub connected to the closest Core and Earth is a remote vacation spot for wealthy citizens. When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core. The story continues 10 odd years later when he again witnesses a similar situation unfolding and manages to touch the person returning to the Core. This causes him to be swept up in the transfer as well and for his mind to join as a "Guest" user of the Core. As a Guest he has limited powers, a starting balance of zero cr or Citizen credits, and no idea how he can get home. He is the first human to ever become a Guest of a Core.

To The Far Shore
Post apocalyptic Oregon Trail. The apocalypse has come and gone. And come back again, and left again... nobody really knows how often. Nothing lasts forever, but nothing is ever completely gone. Which is a shame for young Mazelton, as his family has been around a terribly long time, and made an astonishing amount of enemies. Millenia's worth. So he has to run- from mobs, cannibals, soldiers, sailors, cholera, cattle, thieving sales-monks, starvation, mechanical horrors, vengeful spirits, negotiating your own marriage, and poison of every sort. Fortunately, his not terribly nice family has trained him well in the arts of core polishing. Or as you and I might know it- turning radioactive pellets into useful tools. And weapons. Updates Monday-Wednesday-Friday. Usual defensive tags applied. The goal isn't exactly family friendly, but you have probably seen worse on network TV. After the watershed. Not full blown HBO, let's say. This is the first novel I am sharing publicly, so feedback is very much appreciated and encouraged. Act 1 of the novel is completed, but do please let me know what works, what doesn't, and what you would like to see more of. Thank you, and Enjoy!
