After getting rid of the incarnation of Koladma, the God of Caves, Sui Xiong still felt somewhat unsafe in his heart. He contacted the God of Justice and talked about this.

“Don't worry,” replied the God of Justice. “Koladma is eccentric. Don't mind him.”

“But if he wants to fight again for the sovereignty of the underground maze?”

“Then kill him,” The God of Justice said indifferently.

“I'm worried that fighting will cause much disturbance, that may kill a lot of people on my side, because I now have many people with me.” Sui Xiong sighed and couldn't help but regret that he had acted too quickly.

“You are worried about your own believers. Doesn't he worry about his incarnation?” The God of Justice laughed. “Brother, you can't just look at problems from your own point of view. Learn to change perspectives. You just killed the God of Storm and the Goddess of Ocean a while ago. The black dragon is eccentric but not stupid. Is it fun to be killed by you by running to your place for it?”

Sui Xiong still had some worries. “But what if it really does come?”

The God of Justice sighed, then made an avatar in front of him with a flashing light. “I told you that people couldn't think so much. The more we think, the more we worry, and the more we worry, the less fierce we are. If we're not fierce enough, others will bully us. For people or gods, fighting power speaks.”

Sui kept silent for a long time and deeply sighed. After all, he still had to worry about it.

“You can't go on like this!” The God of Justice saw his worried look, frowned, and said, “You care so much about this playground and the mortals. You care so much that it is easy for you to be schemed against.”

“What should I do then? I can't just stop caring about them.”

“Go out, wander, and relieve yourself from worry,” said the God of Justice. “I'll take care of this for you now. If Koldama dares to come, I will cut its hand or foot when it reaches out its hand or foot. I guarantee no trouble will happen!”

Sui Xiong thought for a moment, sighed and asked, “Where should I go to relieve myself from worry?”

“The entire main plane. According to your ability, as long as you don't leave the main plane, no one can hurt you. But remember, there will be too many people wanting to kill you, and I'm afraid I can't protect you.”

“When I left the main plane last time, I had no trouble, did I?”

“It was at that time that you got into trouble! Now, as far as I know, at least 20 mid-level or above gods are paying attention to you, mostly with malicious intentions. Some want to seize your strength, some to block you or make you a slave. In short, remember, do not leave the main surface!” The God of Justice thought for a moment, and added, “You could go to the shadow plane and similar places, but don't go to places such as the astral area or outer plane!”

“What if I accidentally trigger the formation of transmission?”

“Then go to the underworld… no, go straight to hell, or to the abyss!” said the God of Justice. “The devils of hell are powerful and severe, but they strictly follow rules, and no one dares to provoke trouble there. If you conduct yourself, there is no danger for you in hell. There was a mess in the abyss, and a variety of devil kings hit each other, and they may totally sabotage others. But in the face of Gods, they all unanimously fight against them. So just disguise yourself as a devil king and lead a large number of demons to beat whoever wants to cause trouble to you, until they cannot take care of themselves!”

“Disguise me to look like a devil king? How?”

The God of Justice smirked twice and passed an idea to Sui Xiong, which was a wonderful spell.

“This is a spell made by me. When I was chased by several Gods, I used this trick to live in the abyss to survive the most difficult period,” he said. “Only I know this spell. It is absolutely confidential, and even the God of Magic doesn't know it!”

Sui Xiong was completely relieved. After thanking him, he left an avatar for positioning, then quietly left the playground.

This time he certainly did not dare to run around with the appearance of a big jellyfish. After pondering a little, he transformed himself into a rich, fat man with a round face full and a pair of small eyes. He was wearing a more or less adequate suit, and carrying a large backpack, looking like a businessman.

It's just… a businessman without a horse was really a miserable one.

Instead of thinking so much, Sui Xiong walked happily eastwards.

Although he had taken on a human appearance, he had not really become a human. One step from him covered more than 100 meters. His figure kept flitting in and out, and after a short while, he had covered tens of miles.

Fortunately, it was quite remote here. If someone saw this scene, they either would doubt their own eyes or be extremely scared.

Sui took one morning to walk to the Mountains of Barrenness. He looked up at the mountain range known to be desolate, barren and steep, and for the first time in his life, he observed the scenery from a human perspective.

“What desolation!” After observing for a long time, he muttered to himself, “There isn't even a tree…”

The Mountains of Barrenness were certainly desolate, and Sui Xiong walked in the mountains seeing only ice, snow and gravel. Occasionally, he saw some grass, which was rare green life. As for animals… well, are monsters animals?

“Is it that my change is so intense that I'm treated like a fat sheep?” He looked at the giant worm that suddenly came out from the stone wall beside him, its whole head opening and turning into a three-lobed mouth. Sui couldn't help but laugh and said, “It's about lunchtime, are you planning to take me for lunch?”

Although the monster was big, its intelligence was not high, so how could it understand his words? It only had the idea of, this thing in front of me is good food. It let out a whistling sound and rushed toward Sui to bite his head.

By its stout body and open mouth, Sui's upper body should have been bitten off once it lunged, including his head. A whole person could probably be swallowed directly!

However, when it was about to bite Sui, Sui's body dispersed and turned into an unparalleled huge mouth, which swallowed the entire monster. When he chewed it, the worm was splashed around, and it looked like sweet-and-sour sliced meat as the white teeth—bigger than a person's body—began to chew.

Then this giant mouth slightly changed, and it turned into Sui's appearance again. His face was unpleasant and he spat a mouthful of worm on the ground around him.

“It tastes bad! It's like eating mud…”

After casting a spell to create a lot of clean water to gargle his mouth with, he turned into a better mood, and he continued expediting into the Mountains of Barrenness.

When it was sunset, he stepped out of this steep and desolate mountain and into the snowfields of the east.

The beginning of autumn had arrived, and the weather had not yet begun to turn cold, so there was no snow on the snowfield. Above the frozen soil, there were patches of moss and low weeds. Some shrubs that were particularly cold-resistant were sparsely distributed between these mosses and weeds, adding a little vitality to the snowfield.

Sui Xiong stood on the hillside and watched this wasteland of frozen earth. He saw a number of creatures multiplying in it. The strong ones hunted to feed themselves and their families, while the weaker ones ran away and worked hard to give birth to as many as babies as possible; to make good use of the quantity, to make up for quality. He also saw traces of human activity, of the northlanders living here: commonly known as barbarians.

His figure flashed, and the big fat man, which Sui Xiong changed into, set foot on the wasteland at a speed that the mankind should never have. He walked along the human's trail.

After a while, his eyes were brightened, and he returned to the pace of normal people.

After a while, there was a small pond in front of him. Several tents stood beside the pond. Two or three elderly northlanders were taking care of things to prepare for dinner and rest.

They saw Sui Xiong from far away and said a few words toward the tent. A young man ran out and walked with a spear toward Sui Xiong, stopping him.

“Who are you?” the young man said loudly. “The tribe of grey bears doesn't welcome visitors of unknown origin!”

Sui Xiong saw his nervous look and couldn't help but laugh.

“Young man, don't be so angry,” he said. “You're still sick. Take a good rest.”

The young man was dumbfounded and could not help but ask, “How did you know?”

Sui Xiong laughed. In his eyes, the psychic activity of mortal people could still be seen by him, not to mention physical illness.

“I can not only see that you are sick, but I can see what kind of illness you have,” He said. “You should not have picked up a dead deer and eaten it. The deer died after eating poisonous mushrooms, and you are poisoned by mushrooms.”

“Oh?!” The young man was even more surprised. “I threw away its internal organs, and the meat was washed clean again and again, and it was baked thoroughly!”

“That kind of poison isn't that easy to clean,” Sui Xiong said and shook his head. “But you are very strong and the poison is not deep, so the most dangerous stage has passed. Now you will just feel dizziness and fatigue from time to time. A good rest will make you recover from the illness.”

The young man finally gave in, put away his spear and bowed his head to salute Sui.

Doctor was an extremely respected profession in this deserted, frozen Earth. Although this fat uncle did not look like a northlander, nor did he seem brave, he deserved respect since his medical skill was so brilliant.

Sui grinned and made up an identity for himself and came to this tribe of grey bear. He did not want to eat their food for free, so he diagnosed and treated the tribal people.

He detoxified that voracious eater who had been poisoned, cured the rheumatism on the shoulders of the old chief of the tribe, cured the cough of a herder who had been hurt in a battle with monsters, and also recovered the tendon of the left leg of the previous first warrior of the tribe, whose leg was torn by monsters. That warrior was no longer disabled, and restored to his former strength.

These things made him widely welcomed in the tribe of grey bear. If this was a game, then according to the reputation system, he had already succeeded in having the reputation of “worship.”

However, Sui Xiong walked around to relieve his stress, and did not intend to live in this northern land tribe for a long time. After a few days, when the warrior who received the tendon surgery recovered, he left.

“Where do you want to go?” the voracious eater asked curiously, not wanting Sui to leave.

Sui Xiong smiled and pointed to the southeast side. “I will go all the way to the east and the south, through the empire of the Orcs, through the Kingdom of the Divine Angels, and finally to the desert of dead aerolite, to go sightseeing.”

“That's far!” the voracious eater gasped with some concern. “The route will be very dangerous!”

He laughed, “What's the danger? As long as I walk on the main road, there is no danger.”
