Chapter 951: The Masters Should Continue with the Challenges

After the God of Light destroyed the enchantment that the Goddess of Life left on the Main Plane with one strike of his palm, he did not stop there. That palm shrank slightly and still continued to head towards the ground.

It was pointing in the direction of the Ancient Forest.

Obviously, the God of Light was not planning to destroy the great enchantment on the Main Plane. He wanted to take the chance of being able to go with the flow and destroy the Ancient Forest. This would utterly shatter all the hopes the Elven Race had of showing their power and ruthlessness to the world.

To earn the respect and fear of others, masters not only had to show their powerful strength. They also needed to show their determination in using this strength without hesitation. This was just like on Earth. If an atomic bomb had never been blown up twice in some of the aggressive countries, then it would never be able to able to produce the effect of maintaining world peace in the future.

To put it bluntly, this was killing the chickens to warn the monkeys, which meant he was punishing the elves as a warning to the other races.

All races and gods in the thousands of worlds were monkeys, while the Ancient Forest and the Elven Race residing in it were the chickens to be killed for the monkeys to see.

Seeing that huge palm slowly descending, all living creatures in the Ancient Forest fell into a state of panic.

They were all seized with panic. Some wanted to flee, some wanted to resist, some fell to their knees to say their prayers and some were scuttering about in a frenzied manner like headless houseflies. There were even some who simply closed their eyes and passed out right away.

Amidst the chaos, only a green jellyfish was able to maintain a calm composure.

Not only was it calm, but it was also a little… confused and excited.

When the enchantment of the Main Plane was destroyed, Sui Xiong suddenly had a wonderful feeling of relief. It was like he had now returned to his home full of warmth and could relieve himself of the thick winter clothes that he wore earlier on.

And it was not only that. At that moment, he felt as though his will had been greatly magnified. In a few moments, he was even able to feel almost everything going on within the entire Main Plane. Though it was not very detailed, and vaguely there seemed to be some kind of hindrance that made it less clear than it would be his God Kingdom, it was still enough for him to monitor the entire Main Plane simultaneously.

What was going on? Why was the enchantment of the Main Plane destroyed, and what kind of benefits could it bring him?

Sui Xiong was filled with doubts. He even felt a little lost.

The screams and cries coming from the Ancient Forest awakened him. And he realized that it was not the time for him to be in a daze. There was a major thing happening that very moment, right before his very eyes!

The God of Light had not only destroyed the enchantment of the Main Plane, but he had set his mind on destroying the whole Ancient Forest as well.

The Ancient Forest, of course, had its own means of defense. That enchantment that was newly-built was enough to withstand most medium-level Divine Powers. But in the face of the God of Light, who could destroy the enchantment of the Main Plane in a single strike of his palm, this defense was simply insignificant.

When this palm landed a strike, other than a few living creatures who were either lucky enough or fast enough to be able to escape in time, the entire Ancient Forest would be completely destroyed. Perhaps not even an ant would be left.

What was even worse was that the God of Conspiracy and the God of Potion had connected the vitality of all pure-blooded elves of the world to the World Tree in order to create this enchantment. Once this enchantment, as well as the World Tree, was destroyed, it was likely that the elves would die along with them.

In other words, to the Elven Race, it was actually no difference whether they managed to escape or not. Regardless of where they fled to, they only had those few short moments left to live.

In a moment’s time, only the mixed-blooded half-elves would exist in this world. The pure-blooded elves would be nothing more than a thing of the past. Not a single one of them would be left.

At this moment, another voice sounded. There was a mechanical feel to this voice, and it carried hints of disappointment.

“Wuther Rang, gods should never personally make moves to destroy an entire race.”

It was the voice of the Master of Order who usually barely said or reacted to anything that was happening. Yet, he suddenly spoke up.

Hearing his words, all the gods froze momentarily out of surprise. Then they thought hard, but no one could remember there being such a rule set out for them to adhere to.

At that moment, the God of Water Elements’ will suddenly reverberated within the Void Space, “Yes. There was indeed such a rule from way back. But later on, because of the great enchantment of the Goddess of Life, this rule lost its significance. And so, the future generations no longer remember it.”

Then, the God of Water Elements introduced the cause of this incident:

A long, long time ago, during the era of the ancient gods, there was a god who went berserk and exterminated an entire race. At that time, he was immediately sanctioned by the Master of Order. For this reason, the Master of Order once had a small conflict with the God of Evil. And after the two gods had a discussion, they established a rule:

If any god wanted to destroy a race, they were not allowed to do it personally. They had to complete the deed with the help of soldiers.

Not long after this rule was made, the Goddess of Life created the Elven Race. Thereafter, the God of Earth Elements and Goddess Gaia created the Dwarf race, which was followed by the humans, the Orcs, the pygmies… all kinds of races were created.

Initially, these races were created as tools of war.

However, after a period of time, the Goddess of Life established the great enchantment over the Main Plane. The power of this great enchantment was so strong that even the other ancient gods could not interfere in it. Because by then, every race had more or less reproduced and multiplied their numbers on the Main Plane, such a thing like “genocide” no longer happened. Therefore, the rule gradually lost its significance.

But at this moment, if the God of Light’s palm were to strike, the entire Elven Race would be instantly wiped out.

So the Master of Order had to speak up. He had to advise the God of Light not to make this move.

The God of Water Elements communicated with the gods via divine thoughts, so even though he had said a lot, it took him no more than a moment.

At this very moment, the huge palm of the God of Light was still suspended high in the air, neither falling nor withdrawing.

Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on that huge palm that was hanging in mid-air, waiting to see what decision he would make.

Naturally, Sui Xiong was among the crowd. But the thoughts he had were far more than what the others had. He was probably the only person in the world who knew about the origin of this enchantment. So he could not help speculating.

That rule that had long lost its significance was at least useful until the time when the Goddess of Life established the great enchantment. As a god of the Elven Race under the command of the Goddess of Life, the God of Conspiracy (or perhaps he had been the Master God of the Elves at that time) and the God of Potion definitely knew about this rule.

And this time, they specifically tied the vitality of the entire Elven Race to the World Tree to play a game of “if we have to die, we will die together.” What exactly was their reason for doing so?

By virtue of this rule, they wanted to dig a grave for the God of Light…

The moment the God of Light’s palm fell and struck, it would destroy the enchantment, the World Tree, and naturally, this would mean the complete destruction of the entire Elven Race. At that time, the God of Light would have violated the rule of the Master of Order, who would definitely go looking for the God of Light to address this issue.

On the other hand, if the God of Light were to give up just like that, he would lose face. From then on, even if he was also a greater Divine Order like the Master of Order, he would always have to bow his head before the Master of Order.

With the temper of the God of Light, could he ever accept such an ending?

Of course not!

It was evidently clear what his choice would be. It was also clear how things would develop.

Sui Xiong could not help but sigh inwardly.

This was definitely designed by the God of Conspiracy! That fellow, even in his death, would absolutely ensure that his enemies would not be any better off than he was.

Then, just as he feared it would happen, there was an outburst of conflict between the two greater Divine Powers.

But before that happened, Sui Xiong felt that he needed to do something.

The God of Conspiracy wanted to use the lives of all the elves as his weapon to stab at the God of Light. Sui Xiong admired his determination but did not approve of his approach.

So Sui Xiong decided that he would find a way to save as much as he could.

Whether it was the Ancient Forest, the various kinds of creatures living within the forest or the Elven Race, whose vitality was connected to the World Tree, none of them should be destroyed just like that!

He took a deep breath.

With this breath, the many clones that were found in all parts of the world disappeared successively. All their strength was gathered into the body that was floating in mid-air by the side of the Ancient Forest.

Since the battle where he fought against the great army of evil gods led by the God of Fear, Sui Xiong rarely gathered all his strength as such to exert all the might he had.

Strictly speaking, this was not all but rather, probably about 80 percent of his power. The remaining 20 percent was left in his God Kingdom. Unless there came the time where he really needed to put his life on the line, he would not touch that amount kept in his God Kingdom.

With the strength gathered, the feeling that “encompassed the Main Plane” became clearer. Sui Xiong completely cast all thoughts away and forced himself not to think about anything. He needed full concentration.

What followed next required his undivided attention and focus!

Just as he was trying to gather his strength and giving his best effort in concentrating his focus, the God of Light’s icy-cold voice sounded from the sky above him.

“As a master, I fear no enemy!”

With that, that huge palm began to move again, crashing down towards the Ancient Forest,

“Master of Order, you’ll never understand,” along with the huge, falling palm, the voice of the God of Light sounded out, solid as steel. “Masters should continuously face up to challenges!”
