Chapter 453: Chapter 453

Some events of this year were bound to be recorded into history.

First, the Evil Camp of the Pantheon temple was badly damaged. Their largest organization, the Alliance of Evil Gods, was almost destroyed. The Alliance’s leader, the God of Fear who was a great Divine Power, together with his Fear God System, was almost beaten to pieces. In a few minutes, there were about 100 evil gods who died all at once.

It was amazing enough. It was almost the worst loss that the Evil Camp had suffered in the past tens of thousands of years, but it was not over yet.

Just one day later, the God of Fear, who had been badly wounded and fled away during the war, was captured alive by his old adversary, the God of Justice, and would be tried in public and punished with justice and severity soon.

Compared to these two things, other events that should have been enough to shake the world, such as the good gods going to Void City to express their congratulations, or the War God System bowing their heads to a god that didn’t even have a formal clergy, were less amazing now.

In all these events, there was an absolute protagonist that had to be mentioned. That was the Void Mask, Auscar, a jellyfish from the sea.

“Why did you suddenly decide to submit to the Void Mask?” In the front row of the Pantheon temple, Lefon, the Sky Devourer Canine, curiously approached Wenner, the God of War. “What about him is worth you guys following?”

“First of all, he’s powerful, then he’s fair, and finally he’s full of pioneering spirit.” Wenner, the God of War, didn’t want to hide anything, so he answered frankly. “What really moved me was actually the last one.”

Lefon nodded slightly and understood what he meant.

“Auscar… He is really full of pioneering spirit. Many of his ideas are not only original but also very practical. Perhaps he can really create a situation that has never existed before and bring development and progress to the world.”

“I think the word perhaps is redundant.” Wenner laughed and said, “He has proved this through the development of the Republic of Northwest. If one wants to stop him from moving forward, one probably has to start a war. But who can defeat him? As long as he shows up, he will hold his opponent and explode twice in a row, and who can beat that?”

“Yes! He has enough strength to defend his dreams.” Lefon nodded. “I envy that a lot!”

“So I decided to follow him. To be honest, I have been at a loss for years. Although I have won countless battles, I really don’t know where I should go and where I should lead the War God System,” Wenner sighed softly and said. “Now, everything has been settled. I just follow him. I believe that there will be a brilliant future for the War God System!”

“That’s for sure. If he wants to promote his way of development, he will inevitably fight with others…”

“Haha! You’re a little too direct.”

In the middle of the Pantheon temple, there were also others discussing Sui Xiong.

“It’s hard for me to understand it now.” The God of Scholar and Debate shook his head. “His Majesty, the Void Mask is clearly just a jellyfish, but how does he know so much? Why does he have such wonderful ideas?”

Beside him, the God of Righteousness and Law was thinking about it quietly.

When heard the news of the coming public hearing, the one who felt the most shocked among the gods was the God of Law.

He had always adhered to a neutral stand. He had been impartial in doing things and was dedicated to improving the legal system and training seriously. He was a powerful law enforcer. Although he had met a lot of difficulties, he still felt that his work was fruitful and his team of followers and clergymen were gradually expanding. He believed that the future would be better and better.

However, the sudden emergence of the Void Mask had a great impact on him.

This jellyfish seemed to know everything by nature, and his policies and regulations in the Void Mask Land were amazingly perfect. The God of Law once asked his followers to collect the documents about the Void Law System—that was what he called the laws and regulations that had been launched by the Void Mask—and spent a lot of time studying them carefully. He finally came to the conclusion that the jellyfish, the Void Mask, was really better than him, the formal God of Law.

Especially after the Republic of Northwest was founded, and its formal laws were promulgated, the God of Law read them carefully and immediately felt a sense of admiration.

He could see that there were obvious signs of deletions and revisions in this set of laws and regulations. It was probably that the Void Mask had put forward the original version of the regulations, and then the governors of the Republic of Northwest revised them based on the practical situation.

It had been so excellent a law system after the revision, and he really couldn’t imagine how great the original version would be!

With this idea in mind, the God of Law could not help but want to visit Void Mask and have a good talk with him to exchange ideas and mutually learn.

But he didn’t make up his mind. Actually, they had met and talked with each other before. That had not been a pleasant conversation because they had opposite understandings of the law. After a few words, the conversation stopped, and they almost fought with each other.

It was nothing surprising because the conversation between the God of Law and other good gods had always ended up like this. The Void Mask had been one of the mildest gods, and the fiercest, the God of Justice, had almost destroyed the God’s Kingdom of the God of Law.

After that, the God of Law disliked Sui Xiong more or less. He thought that this jellyfish was so idealistic that he couldn’t understand reality, just the same as the God of Justice.

But facts had proved that the Void Mask was a master who could do what he said, and he really had the ability to turn his ideas into practice!

From the Void Mask Land to the Republic of Northwest, he really launched a legal system that was more vigorous and efficient as well as fairer than ever.

This made the God of Law both surprised and curious. In the past, he had planned to visit the Void Mask more than once. He wanted to have a peaceful talk with him about the understanding of the law and society.

But he had cared about his honor too much. After all, he was older among the gods, even older than the God of Justice. Moreover, he had stubbornly maintained his absolute neutral attitude all along. He had also quarreled with the Void Mask before, so he felt a little embarrassed to bow his head for advice.

But now, he had no such idea. Honor? What was that for?

His Majesty, the Void Mask, by himself, had almost wiped out the whole Alliance of Evil Gods and the entire Fear God System. Would it be embarrassing for the God of Law to bow his head to ask such a master for advice?

On the contrary, as a god of mid-level Divine Power and a useless old man who managed to become a god when he was almost 10,000 years old, was he qualified enough to care about his honor when standing in front of such a genius master who had achieved countless great deeds in his less than a hundred years of life?

Therefore, after received the news of the upcoming public hearing, the God of Law started his journey immediately and arrived at Void City to visit Sui Xiong that night.

Sui Xiong certainly welcomed him. Sui Xiong had long wanted to have a good talk with him. However, their last conversation had ended unhappily within a few words due to their bad mood, and since then, Sui Xiong had been a bit angry and did not want to see him again. Today, the God of Law visited Sui Xiong in person, and that really made Sui Xiong happy, just like a sleepy person who saw a pillow.

They talked for almost two hours. Sui Xiong introduced his understanding of the law and society carefully, and the God of Law mainly listened and asked questions. From time to time, he raised some questions according to his own understanding. Both of them had been pleasant during the conversation.

The God of Law was indeed an expert. In this world, the society was somewhat deformed, and the development of law was slow, so his insights were limited, and he had been stubborn in many problems. However, his profound accumulation was indeed remarkable. Many times Sui Xiong just gave a brief introduction or advice, and the God of Law could think along the direction Sui Xiong had pointed out and draw a fairly reliable conclusion. That made Sui Xiong praise him more than once for his sensitivity and profound knowledge.

The God of Law learned more about the deep connotation of the Void Mask. Many problems that he had been thinking about for a long time were not even problems at all to the Void Mask and were solved by him easily. What was more striking was that this Jellyfish God also developed his ideas on more profound and essential issues, and that benefited the God of Law a lot. It was like he was climbing a very high mountain under the leadership of this Jellyfish God, and he felt open-minded at last.

For example, at the beginning of their discussion, they started with the nature of law. His understanding was that law was the tool for the strong to manage the weak, while Sui Xiong said naturally that law was the embodiment of the will of the ruling class.

At first glance, there was not much difference between them, but when Sui Xiong explained what class and rule, social mobility and development, compromise and progress meant in detail—mainly something he had seen and learned before his time-travel—the God of Law was completely shocked. He tried his best to ask questions and to understand these concepts one by one, and then he compared it with the experience that he had learned from the Code of the Republic of Northwest and his actual governing work; he soon became enlightened and could not help but laugh.

At that moment, there was a relaxed and happy look on his face, and that was as funny as an Internet emoji on the earth.

Late at night, when the God of Law was ready to say goodbye and leave, this influential god respectfully saluted Sui Xiong and honored him as a teacher.

Thus, there was one more big event that happened in the past few days—the God of Righteousness and Law publicly declared that he had worshiped His Majesty, the Void Mask as a teacher and learned legal knowledge from him. He had learned so much that it could be said that he had found a new direction. From today on, if there was anyone who dared to go against his teacher, the Void Mask, the God of Righteousness and Law would treat them as an enemy and would kill them under his teacher’s order.

No one would be surprised if these words were from the God of Justice, but things would be different when it was the mature and honest God of Righteousness and Law that said that.

This was not his style!

Several gods who had a good relationship with him asked about the whole thing carefully to make sure that this old god was not talking nonsense. They found that he really worshiped the Void Mask as his teacher now, and what he had said was utterly and sincerely from his heart.

Others were more surprised, wondering whether the Void Mask was really so powerful. Otherwise, how could the God of Law be completely obedient to him?

With surprise and curiosity, they all looked forward to the upcoming public hearing.
