“What are they thinking? I don’t understand!”

In pitch darkness, Sui Xiong lied down on the ground feeling helpless, mumbling to himself.

He really couldn’t understand his believers’ trains of thought. Why would they be so angry? It didn’t make sense to him at all.

He didn’t agree with Ray’s viewpoint either. Why was preaching required to build fame? He remembered before he traversed, those pastors in the church were all calm and peaceful.

The religion that spread across almost the entire civilized world, and at the very least had several billion believers, wouldn’t be more reasonable than the religion in this world. It only had a couple million believers.

Although Christianity was spread using the knife back then, it was improved now. If there were still people preaching that way on Earth, they would be seen as a sign of the backwards and barbarian…

Not to mention that his church only had…

He took a look at the channel of belief. 3,599. There was still a distance to reach 4,000 people!

Was it necessary to think so far in the future, and plan to form threats then?

That’s wasn’t right! Even if the church got bigger, there was no need to form threats, right? Everyone could live together in harmony, play around in the theme park, and enjoy the food and entertainment. Wouldn’t that be great?

Even if he wanted to form a threat, he had to select a reliable target to fight against the Orc God system. Would he be able to beat them?

That was asking for death…

Turning into a jellyfish that was almost the size of a human, he sighed. He let out a breath of smoke like white frost.

“I remember, back on Earth, people in church would boast that their God was almighty. With my power now, it is strong enough for a commoner; but why didn’t I feel almighty? On the contrary, I felt like more and more unable to understand the world, more and more helpless.”

Sui Xiong was definitely not a lazy person. Although he wasn’t an academic achiever, he didn’t like wasting time. Sitting down and daydreaming was one of the things that he hated most.

When there was a goal, he could focus on the goal and persist. He would never give up regardless of how long it took. When there was no goal, he would work hard according to the direction that other hoped for. Even if he felt uncomfortable, he would never give up.

When he was on Earth, he wasn’t considered a successful person, but he was definitely not a “loser.” Not too shabby of an academic background, a stable job, considered quite a famous and talented man. He knew bits and pieces about piano, chess, books, and drawing; he had a good reputation in the unit and a prestigious state among his online friends. He was also the so-called “sensei,” a freelance artist that drew human portraits for games or novels.

Honestly speaking, he had a happy life. Besides the fact that he couldn’t find a girlfriend, and he was always cheated by his teammates in games.

But in the current world, he received unimaginable strength, experienced unimaginable magic, and encountered and completed an unbelievably great career.

But he wasn’t happy at all.

He felt that he didn’t belong to this world.

He couldn’t understand the thinking of the people in this world. He couldn’t agree with the order of how the world worked. He couldn’t accept the inexplicable rules of the world.

There were such magical powers in the world, and there were amazing Gods; so why were people living such tough lives? Those amazing figures could give out benefits with the wave of a hand, and the people wouldn’t need to worry about their lives! Why did they only care about themselves?

Why was exploitation and oppression in the world so brutal? Sucking the lifeblood wouldn’t be sufficient to describe the situation. Why would the people in this world not start a revolution and go against them? Didn’t they know the easy concept of death only being death anyway, and sacrificing for the country?

Why would those kind Gods turn a blind eye to such things? Maybe they only considered taking the believers’ souls, but not saving and helping them when they were alive. Why would a God that upheld Justice not have any allies, but on the contrary, live a miserable life? Even he had to play dumb!

He didn’t understand, he didn’t understand at all…

“After all… I am not from this world…”

He let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and wanted to sleep for a while. His messy thoughts were surging like turbulent waves in his head, and he couldn’t relax.

There was a sudden flash of shadow, and Morani, who transformed into a fully armed warrior, appeared next to him.

“You look tired. What’s wrong?” he asked out of concern. Morani could tell something was wrong with a glance.

Sui Xiong forced a smile and shook his head.

“Nothing, I am just tired.”

“To drag a world from Abyss; you worked hard!” Morani sighed with emotion. “You are amazing! I have never imagined that any God could do such a thing!”

Sui Xiong smiled. “It’s just so. Mere strength only; no difference from moving bricks.”

“There was a big difference. The other people couldn’t do it.”

“It doesn’t mean anything if anyone did it. It is mere labor work, after all.”

Morani was quiet for a while. Finally, He asked, “Did you come across anything that upset you?”

“Nothing. It’s just that my believers wanted to launch a war against the church of Orc God system. They were discussing sending experts to kill their high priest of a higher order.”

Morani replied with an “oh” and nodded faintly. “I understand! You are worried that they may come across any danger?

“I can’t help you with this.” He expressed that he felt sorry. “Although I was considered one of the guardian Gods of warriors, I am quite close with the Orc God system, and I had taken quite some advantage from them. At most, I would just not get involved in either party.”

Sui Xiong sighed and hesitated. He couldn’t help but ask, “What do you think about their plan to assassinate the high priest of the Orc God system because I was attacked by the Orc Gods?”

Morani stunned and asked suspiciously, “What do you mean by ‘what do I think’?”

“Its as it sounds. What do you think about their thoughts and actions?”

“It’s very normal; nothing special,” Morani thought and said. “In any other church, the action would be similar. Unless they didn’t possess the fighter power, they really had no choice. Any church that possessed slight fighting power would launch a massacre if they came across such a matter. To resist a God means going against the entire church. The reason why churches exist is to display the glory of God. What is the use of a church that can’t display the glory of a God? Even they lose the last person and shed the last drop of blood, they need to wash away the shame.”

He said it lightly and looked as though it was only right and proper.

Sui Xiong was quiet for a long time. Then, he smiled bitterly and redirected the topic.

Morani saw that he didn’t feel any better. He didn’t continue to comfort him, but left a few bottles of good wine that He collected from his God follower, “Silent Knight,” and bid him farewell.

After a while, the God of Justice came along.

“Steel Lion said that you are not in a good mood, so I came to visit,” he said straightforwardly. “Why exactly are you in a bad mood? I am good at putting things in the right perspective for people. Try me!”

Sui Xiong roughly told Him about his believers who were planning to assassinate the high priest of the church from the Orc God system, and he asked for His opinion.

“Opinion? Well done!” the God of Justice laughed. “The good cannot coexist with the bad. The Orc God system is made up of a bunch of b*stards. Their church is also a bunch of b*stards. Counted as they go on, it would be good for everyone if they were killed!”

Sui Xiong was at loss for words. He thought and asked, “I meant, to attack the members of the other party’s church member because their God was attacked. This… What do you think about this?”

“Great!” The God of Justice gave him a thumbs-up, and his snow-white teeth were dazzling in the dark underground. “A great man must do so. Brother, you have really good instinct. Although the number of your bunch of believers ain’t many, they are reliable!”

Sui Xiong let out a heavy sigh. He was shameful for his mistaken thought that his brother would be reliable.

He knew from the beginning that that man was never close to the world “reliable!”

“Unless you are worried that they won’t gain a victory? That won’t be a problem! Whether or not they win, it’d be better to fight first! Do you want me to protect them? Let me tell you, brother, I am good at hiding my aura and causing damage!” The God of Justice was obviously interested; maybe killing was something he liked.

He gave a few suggestions and theoretically, he could have helped, but Sui Xiong was not in the mood to chat with him. He refused with a bitter smile on his face.

“Don’t be sad! If you are not capable enough, train yourself well, and work hard to increase your believers!” The God of Justice was not someone that didn’t take hints. He saw Sui Xiong’s look of “I am sad, leave me alone,” he said that, and left.

The underground resumed its silence. The jellyfish God sat in the corner and let out a heavy sigh.

“As expected, everyone shares the same idea, and I am the only one that is different.” He thought and laughed at himself. “Am I like Copernicus or Marx?”

“There’s no difference, they are only some b*stards…”

In the depth of the dark underground, his sigh reverberated quietly.

At the front row in Pantheon Temple, the God of Justice looked for the King of Order again.

“Sparkly, don’t you ever think that there is something wrong with the order of this world?” he said. “There are some things that aren’t quite right…”

The King of Order looked at him coolly and said monotonously, “If you are dissatisfied with the order I am maintaining, then continue working hard to become stronger, and come and fight at the Wheel of Order. Kill me and take over the Wheel of Order, and you could alter the order of the world according to your liking.

“Of course, I actually hope for you to take the seat of the King of Kindness, Wickedness, or Chaos. If there was only one God, that wouldn’t be too good.”

“I knew you were going to say that!” The God of Justice returned to His seat angrily, with his eyebrows tightly knitted.

He thought about the topic that Sui Xiong was talking to Him about, and He pondered about the meaning behind what Sui Xiong said. He could faintly feel that something was not right.

“What’s not right exactly?” This expert that was number one on the list of fighters among various Gods was lost in his thoughts.

He thought for a very long time but still couldn’t understand. He finally got annoyed and drew his big axe out. He leapt and slashed toward the main God of Orc God system.

“Dog-headed creature, take my axe!”

The main Orc God never expected Him to suddenly go insane, and He was caught off-guard. Luckily He was an expert that went through battles himself and rolled over subconsciously. He dodged it and avoided being smashed by the axe and dying a tragic death.

“Yorgaardman, what is wrong with you!” He roared with anger and drew his short spear out to fight against the God of Justice.

Both were top experts among various Gods. They fought, and the first three rows were suddenly a mess. Some Gods wanted to stop them, some Gods wanted to stir up more trouble. Some even wanted to seize the chance to ask for trouble from their enemies. It was a complete mess.

The King of Order didn’t seem like He was going to stop them. He didn’t even turn around, but looked far across boundless space, and fixed His gaze upon the jellyfish that was sighing by the corner of the wall.

“Are you dissatisfied with the order of the world? Then, get stronger and you can qualify to alter the order to your liking.”

He sighed lightly but there was no God near enough to hear what He said. No one noticed His actions.

“Let me see a new order soon. I have been waiting forever…”
