Chapter 815
After hearing the God of Light’s recount, Sui Xiong was silent for a very long time . Then finally, he asked, “So, the God of Knights, he… did he succeed?”
The God of Light did not reply . He merely shook his head .
This answer was not unexpected . The God of Knights had undoubtedly fallen at that time . Sui Xiong was just asking on the off-chance that there was still hope for him .
“But I heard from friends who witnessed the battle that the strength of power at his final moment was beyond imagination,” he said .
“Yes, it was beyond imagination . It was almost close to his peak,” said the God of Light . “But he failed . ”
Sui Xiong was momentarily at a loss for words .
Yes, so what if he was extremely powerful? He failed . He had fallen . Everything became so meaningless .
Among the gods, the old King of Earth Elements of former years was so powerful that he could propel the Earth Element Plane into engulfing the Main Plane . There was even the need for the Master of Order to personally intervene before he could be stopped . The King of Wind Elements relied solely on his own strength to set up a complete circulation within the inner side of the Ring of the World, thereby establishing the concept of the “Inner Plane . ”
But they had all fallen, and that fall meant that they were nothing at all . Many years later, even the people who knew about them were so few . They were completely buried and forgotten in the clouds and dust of history . After a long time, he remembered a QQ signature of a painter friend of his that said, “Wherever one has trodden, there had to be some traces . ”
The God of Light laughed and said, “What you just said made sense, but it’s also very meaningless . ”
Sui Xiong also laughed . After laughing, he asked, “Do you think I’ll be able to use this method of a direct breakthrough of the World’s Origin?”
The God of Light looked at him seriously for a moment, then said, “I’ll advise you not to try . Because the previous one who tried to do so has died . ”
“Perhaps your teacher died because he had abandoned his priesthoods and had become much too weak,” Sui Xiong said .
“You have a point . Maybe your guess is correct, but are you sure you want to put your life on the line all because of this ‘maybe?’”

Sui Xiong thought carefully for a long time and shook his head .
“This is a wise choice . ” The God of Light nodded . Then, two light balls appeared in his hand .
“These two things here, one is for you, and the other is for my junior, who’s all brawn but no brains,” he said . “If there comes a day where I die, these light balls shall be the legacy I leave for you both . ”
Sui Xiong froze for a moment, then asked, “Why are you suddenly talking about this? From how I see it, you don’t look like you’re going to die . ”
“How many people in the world will look like they are about to die?” the God of Light asked him back .
Sui Xiong laughed drying then took the two light balls from the God of Light . Then he asked again, “Which is for me? Which is for my elder brother?”
“Whichever you want . Both are the same,” the God of Light said . He simply touched on the matter lightly by saying, “Just like those dozens of legacies that the good-for-nothing, who I’ve hacked to death before, had given out; these two legacies are exactly the same . ”
Sui Xiong’s smile froze .
After a while, he asked cautiously, “You… know about it?”
“Not at first . I got to know about it later,” the God of Light said . “Although every god who received a legacy was very careful in keeping the secret, a secret was something that would always reveal traces of itself when it’s shared by many . Like what you just said, wherever one has trodden, there had to be traces . I noticed this fast enough, so with the help of a little trick, I managed to get one . ”
Sui Xiong smiled awkwardly . After a moment, he could not help feeling curious and again, he asked, “What do you think of his legacy?”
“His idea is too clichéd; the standard is not high enough . In short, it certainly was very suitable for someone at his level,” the God of Light mocked the former Sun God in a vicious tone . “Even if he was not hacked to death by me, at the end of this road, what awaited him would also not be some greater Divine Power, but rather… Bang!”
He clasped both hands together then push them wide apart to make the action of an explosion .
Sui Xiong nodded . Since he learned about the way the King of Fire Elements had died, he knew that the former Sun God’s way of thinking was unquestionably not feasible . No matter how reasonable this path might seem, the issue of “intrinsic attributes” was ultimately a dead knot that could never be undone .

All the living creatures in this world have their own intrinsic attributes . There were some who had fire, some water, some wind, some light, some order, some kindness… there were also living creatures whose attributes were not so apparent, and there were many others who were merely more inclined towards a certain direction . But unquestionably, no matter how unapparent the attributes of these living creatures were, their most fundamental attributes could always be found by tracing them to their sources .
No matter how all-inclusive, and no matter how they were integrated and expanded, their intrinsic attributes were ultimately unchanging . Even if they could forcibly make some changes to their intrinsic attributes, it would be meaningless—after changing these attributes, they would naturally develop another kind of attribute . There was nothing in this world that could exist “without attributes .
This did not only apply to living creatures, but also to everything else in the world .
The gods, of course, were no exception .
The former Sun God hoped that he could harmonize all realms and priesthoods to complete a “whole world . ” This was simply impossible . No matter how hard he tried, he could forget about trying to incorporate priesthoods that were contrary to his intrinsic attributes . If he ever tried to create such a fusion, he would eventually find himself at a dead end .
Just like the King of Fire Elements, no matter how powerful he was, the moment he tried to integrate the “water” priesthood as one of his, he exploded right away .
This could also be seen from the legacy of the former Sun God . He had clearly put in a lot of hard work and effort into studying the realm and priesthood of the direction of “water” and had done a lot of in-depth research about it . But when Sui Xiong compared his understanding of these realms and priesthoods against that of the former Sun god, he suddenly realized that there was a huge mistake in the god’s understanding . If the Sun God attempted to master these realms and priesthoods according to his understanding of them, he was bound to go wrong and definitely would not be able to reap good results .
Likewise, his studies on realms and priesthoods pertaining to fire and light far surpassed that of Sui Xiong’s . There were many areas that were real eye-openers for Sui Xiong, who could not help clapping and praising his ingenuity while exclaiming, “Oh my god! So that’s what it is!”
After all, Sui Xiong came from the sea and practiced ice power . He was a great expert in water and ice . But correspondingly, he was not good at all when it came to fire and the likes of it .
So from within that legacy, Sui Xiong obtained many valuable things that added immensely to his knowledge and greatly enhanced his power . He could be said to be reborn after undergoing a complete change .
But even so, he definitely did not want to follow the path of the former Sun God .
That was courting his own doom!
Now he was more curious about what kind of knowledge could be found in this “legacy” that the God of Light had left him . Also, what did the God of Light himself receive from that legacy that the former Sun God had left him?
“When you open the legacy that I left you with, you will understand all of these,” said the God of Light, who did not give a direct reply . He purposefully maintained suspense and kept Sui Xiong guessing by saying, “But… maybe you won’t have the chance to see this legacy . Perhaps when I have stepped up to the realm of greater Divine Power, I can personally explain it to you . ”
“You are going to try for a breakthrough to a greater Divine Power?” Sui Xiong was taken aback .
“That’s obviously a given, right? I’m definitely going to give it a shot,” the God of Light smiled and said . “But… I’m still in the midst of preparation . I’m not ready to start yet . It’s still too early .
“I’m just giving this legacy to you now . It’s nothing more than being prepared with precautionary measures, just in case . ”
With that, he stood up and made a gesture of seeing his guest off .
“Wait!” Sui Xiong suddenly recalled his purpose of visit and hurriedly asked, “What do you think of my plan of having a friendly competition with the greater Divine Powers as a way of learning from each other?”
“There’s nothing wrong with having a hand in a fight against the Dragon of Chaos,” said the God of Light . The scene before Sui Xiong changed rapidly . This meant that he was being sent out of the Human God Kingdom, and the voice of the God of Light that was lingering in his ears went on to say, “As for the rest, it’s better not to ask for unneeded trouble . ”

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.
