Speaking of theme park, he thought of Disney.

Speaking of Disney, what would one think of?

Mickey Mouse? Donald Duck?

Sui Xiong imagined his image after he was promoted as God with the clergy post of “God of Theme Park” and he felt that his balls were in pain.

Would there really come a day where a middle aged uncle that was balding would wear the costume of a green jellyfish in the theme park? Would he be acting cute by saying “Ee yah! Ee yah!” while he distributed candy and balloons to kids that were there?

Okay… It didn't seem that bad… He thought, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Janvier saw his look of stolen happiness and gave an understanding smile.

He could tell that Sui Xiong had already accepted his suggestion.

The clergy post of “God of Theme Park” did not conflict with any other clergy, and the clergy itself was not bounded by belief in extreme measures. Even if there were any changes in the mainland and all theme parks were gone, in tens of thousand of worlds, there needed to be the existence of some other theme park. There was no need to worry about the breakdown of the clergy.

The only downfall was probably that people who were serious would never be able to accept such “lowbrow” clergy. But the world was so huge, there were all kinds of people. If the God himself could pass through the stage, he never had to worry about lacking of believers.

To complain about lowbrow, was he, the “God of Happiness and Celebration,” any more serious? Don't forget about the bunch of devils that aimed to destroy the world. There were even evil Gods that insisted on not accepting any clergy post, not building Holy Kingdoms. Instead they built pathways of belief by themselves and closed their door to have fun on their own. Compared to those crazy people and psychopaths, what was wrong with “God of Theme Park”?

It was awesome!

Just then, there was the sound of singing from outside that messed up their thoughts.

It was a bard that was preparing for a celebration performance, rehearsing for the very last time.

Time passed by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the eve of the celebration. Garth City then looked way more crowded compared with before. Not only were there adventurers and bards that came over from the nearby towns, there were also small to medium businessmen that popped by as their saw business opportunities. There were even people that had savings that came by to join the crowd.

“Ray did well!” Looking at the busy scene outside the window, Sui Xiong couldn't help but smile when he said, “Within two years' time, he managed to rectify a ruin to presentable city. If he were to be King, he would definitely be a smart King for the generation!”

“He is really a capable person!” Janvier nodded as he complimented. “Until he is dead, you could appoint him as general in your Holy Kingdom and have him command and control the entire Holy Kingdom. I believe that he could definitely be up to the job!”

Heimsarah bit off a chicken leg with one bite and he chewed the meat and bones together while he spoke. “Maybe he could be promoted as a God, too.”

Sui Xiong was suddenly stunned.

He looked to the direction of the resident city owner. Even though the wall blocked his view, he could clearly feel that Ray, who was amending documents felt his gaze upon him, and lifted his head to smile in return.

Such terrifying sensitivity; his unusual capability to put revival of Garth city on track in a short time span of one and a half years; the valour of fighting a battle against an army of thousands of soldiers alone back then. Thinking about it carefully, Ray was really an extremely outstanding figure. If he really did go towards a path to be promoted as God, it wouldn't be surprising.

But, it was still a bit of a shock…

He smiled towards Ray's direction and turned around to look at Janvier, to ask the senior God's opinion.

Janvier was obviously in shock. He looked to the side as he thought about something. After a while, he smiled and nodded. “Such possibility exists, and it is not small. At least, when I was still a commoner back then, I was far weaker compared to him. Even I managed to be promoted as God. He has hope to be promoted, as well”

“But…” He hesitated. Finally he let out the second half of what he intended to say. “Honestly speaking, from what I see, maybe it would be better not to promote him as God.”

Sui Xiong was stunned and asked, “Why?”

“If I'm not mistaken, he is the direct descendant of Eagle Kingdom royalty, the Igor family. His bloodline should be quite pure. Considering his age, he probably was the young prince from the rumoured “Blood Dyed Eagle Comb” fifteen years ago, who was shot to death with poisonous arrow in the chaos. The young prince was the genius swordsman, Leon Igor.”

Sui Xiong nodded and said, “That's right. He said his name once; that was it.”

“If he is Prince Leon, as the son of Eagle, he inherited the bloodline of God of Eagle. In the future, if he were to be promoted as God, I'm afraid it is very possible that the God of Eagle will be resurrected with the help of his descending bloodline, using him as a medium.” Janvier let out a breath of regret and continued, saying, “God of Eagle fought against His Majesty, God of Light, for the position of Main God of Human Gods. The two parties had a few fights. In the end, defeated by His Majesty's Buddha Divinity Spell and passed away under his God Hammer. But, he once made an oath that he would definitely return to fight for the supreme honor. Back then I was only a newly joined God. When I looked at the battle from afar, it was soul stirring.”

“What you mean is, if Ray were to be promoted as God, the God of Eagle might possess his body?” Sui Xiong's eyes displayed a dangerous light. “He should dare! If the God of Eagle really dares to make any funny moves, I will bash him to the point that he couldn't even be a ghost!”

“The crucial problem is not about whether if the God of Eagle would resurrect, but if His Majesty would tolerate the idea of giving the God of Eagle an opportunity to resurrect.”

What Janvier said made Sui Xiong crease his eyebrows. The intention of what these new friends of his said was clear: the King of Human Gods, who was high above, would never allow the previous challenger to make a comeback. In other words, if Ray wanted to be promoted as a God, even if the God of Eagle had no way to possess his body to resurrect, the God of Light would show no mercy and kill him.

“Is there no space for negotiation? He will be okay if the God of Eagle doesn't resurrect, right?”

Janvier smiled bitterly and shook his head. “His Majesty… is not really someone who is open to discussion!”

“Do you know the God of Knights? That one who once created us; Human Gods, our patron saints at the very beginning, the King of Kings that protected his during our tough times. He is senior that we all Clergies respect. I adore him regardless of experience or power. But even He has no rights to speak before His Majesty. Back then when He realised that human society was getting along with the other tribes, but were striving away from Road of Kindness, He once gave suggestion; in the end…”

Janvier was not willing to share such embarrassment in detail but constantly shook his head and sighed heavily.

Although Sui Xiong didn't know how the story went, he knew the consequence was that the God of Knight's camp was sidetracked, from a kind order to a wicked one.

It was well-known among all Gods, to the point where it was once brought up in the information given by God of Redemption.

But Sui Xiong didn't know before that there was such a behind-the-scenes story.

Even if God of Knight had such an encounter, it seemed that it was obviously impossible to consult with God of Light.

Then… how about resistance?

Sui Xiong smiled bitterly while he shook his head, to cast aside such unrealistic thoughts.

There was an entire God system under the command of the God of Light. Even if he was extraordinarily brave and fierce and he defeated a few of them alone, any of the rest of the Gods could easily squish Ray to death like an ant.

“It seems like this could only be left alone…” He smiled in embarrassment and diverted away from the topic.

In his heart, he was deliberating in secret.

The Human Gods system is strong in power, but the range of power is pretty concentrated. Almost ninety percent of the power is concentrated in the main dimension and a few big worlds nearby. If I were to bring Ray to the border of the world, some human power would be extremely weak and even controlled by devils who are extremely hostile towards human world. If Ray were to be promoted as God there, even if God of Light was powerful, He wouldn't be able to stop him.

The only problem is, how do I control or communicate with the devil or demon in those worlds?

Those bastards…. Might not be any easier to talk to compared to God of Light…

He buried all his thought deep in his heart and saved them for when he had the chance to take action.

Anyway, Ray just gotten to the legend realm not too long ago. He still had to slowly level up to semi god, and understand and master the power of the root. Then, finally look for a clergy that was aligned to his belief. Completing that set of tasks would require at least a few centuries at the fastest, and it was normal to take a few thousand years even, if one was slow. He himself had plenty of time to prepare!

Janvier saw that he didn't continue to talk about that topic; he smiled and left it behind too.

Although He was a human, strictly speaking, He was not a core member of Human Gods system, but fell under the pantheistic Gods that lived in territory of the Human God system. It casually reminded Sui Xiong of the emphasis on the God of Light's dignity, who considered himself having given his all. To betray his friend for loyalty? He was not the downline for the stubborn God of Gods!

The topic stopped there. Then, everyone continued to chat like nothing happened; chit-chatting casually and happily, just like few days back.

Gods were all firm and persistent. Which God had not gone through years of trials and tribulations? Which God had not pushed through countless dangers! Since it was left aside at the time being, they wouldn't let that affect their emotions.

Oh, Heimsarah might not have such qualities, but he probably didn't think so far ahead…

But, Sui Xiong knew very soon that he would belittle the man.

In the morning on the second day,the strolling troop which surrounded the simply festooned vehicle entered Garth city through the rebuilt gate. Heimsarah—who was invisible alongside Sui Xiong and Javier by the side of the road—suddenly spoke.

“It's about time to send the news, to let His Majesty to dispatch the envoys up shore to send the presents.”

“What?!” Sui Xiong's eyes suddenly opened wide. He looked at Heimsarah, who suddenly turned into a fat man. “What Majesty? What envoys? What present? Why didn't you say anything earlier!”

Heimsarah's honest chubby face showed a round smile. “Your believer is throwing a celebration; how could His Majesty not dispatch an envoy to congratulate him? My friend, did you forget about your identity?”

Sui Xiong thought carefully and recalled that he might be looked upon by the new God of Ocean…

“Even since the birth of His Majesty, He had been in touch with eight of the Sea Kings one by one. We approve of his will and attitude and will acknowledge allegiance to him after he is promoted as God. We will then become his God followers and built an Oceanic Gods system,” Heimsarah smiled as he spoke. “The reason why I stayed underwater near Garth city was because I am entrusted to guard this city on his behalf.”

“I thought you just looked for a nearby place to randomly stay.”

“How would that be possible! Please don't treat me like a dumbass, okay!” Heimsarah didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but shook his head and sighed, “Save the nonsense. I need to send out the news. The envoys that are here to congratulate are arriving at the plaza behind the festooned vehicle in a bit.”

Then, there was a light breeze that blew past them, towards the sea surface.

Sui Xiong could clearly feel there was some gentle and friendly aura slowly emerging from under the nearby water.
