Things were easier said than done.

The Abyss was definitely no smooth thoroughfare. On the contrary, it was the definition of barren hills and untamed rivers. Sui Xiong hurried on his way with his entire family, and he had to stop constantly to move away the blocking world. If it were a smaller world, he would push it to the side. Although it required a lot of effort, it didn't bring any aftermath. If it was a slightly bigger world, it would be impossible for him to push it away, but he had to fight through it.

Earlier, he had shattered the hell-like world that had lava flowing all over. Not only did he kill the monarch of devils in that world, but the world itself was also broken into three pieces.

The world in the Abyss wasn't solid. Even if it weren't attacked, it would always collapse and rebuild. So, it wasn't difficult to break a world. The difficult part was giving the devils in the world a good throttling, so he could then shatter the world that was blocking his path.

It wasn't easy at all!

Sui Xiong lied on the grassland in his world and panted.

“D*mn it! That lava monster was simply cockroach-like! Couldn't be killed nor smashed… what does it feed on to be so solid! How was that lava! Isn't lava supposed to be liquid?!”

After complaining for a while, he finally recovered some energy and he took out the map to see.

After that long route, he only went a short distance.

“Oh my god! How long will this take!”

Looking at the boundless path of migration, he suddenly felt helpless and simply wanted to give up.

But… I can't give up!

“Back then, leveling up to legend was so difficult, and I managed to get to level 45! It's such a small matter; would it be more difficult than leveling up to level 45 in legend?” he gritted through his teeth and told himself. “I'll just treat this as leveling up!”

He comforted himself as such, and forgot about the fact that he leveled up relying on extension. Every day, 24 hours non stop, every year, 365 days, no break, with a few years' time; then he leveled up to level 45…

“Go for it! Sweep all the monsters along the away. I will definitely max out!”

Of course, he knew that it would be impossible.

To a commoner, maybe fighting against a monster could really accumulate experience and level up. But to an expert at his level, if he couldn't enhance the intrinsic power itself and get closer to the root of the world, it would be useless even if he fought more monsters.

Those who could fight were inexperienced, those who were experienced couldn't fight. Such an awkward situation.

Sui Xiong was only considered fully recovered after he rested for a very long time. He exerted his strength and dragged the small world that was slightly damaged in the battle earlier as he trudged along the route that his brother had planned for him.

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; Da Vinci drew an egg before…”

In Pantheon Temple, the God of Justice went next to the King of Order and mumbled something that even the most sensitive God wouldn't be able to eavesdrop.

The King of Order's peaceful face was shrouded among silver light and showed a hint of shock. After He pondered for a while, He nodded faintly.

“You have always been unreliable, but this time you did something reliable!”

The God of Justice was suddenly upset and asked rudely, “How am I unreliable? I've always been reliable, okay?”

The King of Order smiled, but he quickly hid it and resumed his usual solemnity and coolness.

He didn't entangle with the God of Justice on that but went straight to business. “Regarding the negative realm on the Ring of World, I could only affect it slightly; I wouldn't be able to help much. But the positive realm on the Ring of World is different. I could pick a few suitable miniature worlds later, and seal them up for you. Then, you could pass Him the sealed worlds directly and you could unseal them when you got into the world.”

“That easy?” The God of Justice was a little suspicious.

“He has already overcome the most difficult part; the ones left are only some side issues,” the King of Order said solemnly. “To Gods, the Abyss is a forbidden area. Even one who observes it will be affected by its chaotic power. 'When you focus on the Abyss, the Abyss is also focusing on you;' the idiom came from here. A God, no matter how powerful He is, wouldn't be able to stay for long in the Abyss. Not to mention trying to control one of the worlds in the Abyss… Even if it was me and I dared to do such things, I would only be invaded by the boundless chaos in the negative realm in the Ring of World, and finally pass away.”

“If it was 'Him?'” The God of Justice leaned his head sideways and pouted to beckon to the chair, which was covered with complicated patterns and in inexplicable shapes, that made people feel uncomfortable.

“I have no idea where He went to.” The King of Order looked solemn as usual but there was a hint of distress in His eyes. “I know that all of you are guessing; whether He has sunk to the level of the monarch of devils, or blended into Abyss to turn into part of the negative realm. But I can assure you that, these speculations are false!”

“Huh? Then where could He go?”

“If I knew, I would have told you,” the King or Order replied calmly. “There is only me at the highest position, and actually it isn't beneficial to the order of the entire world. I am looking forward to someone who could take some responsibilities over, regardless of who it is.”

“But, He was your ultimate enemy, right?”

“Conspiracy thinking is too insignificant to our level. Don't be affected by these things.” The King of Order creased his eyebrows. “Among various Gods, you are the one that was the closest to our level. But you are affected by the nonsense too much, which is why you didn't improve much after your entered this realm. You need to leave all of this behind!”

“I've improved!” the God of Justice said jokingly. “Me now, is at least one time stronger than when I challenged you back then!”

The King of Order didn't even bother replying.

The God of Justice, who asked for a snub, smiled and returned to his seat.

Regardless, I heard some insights from the old man… he thought to himself. Order, chaos, kindness, wickedness… in their realm, what is going on exactly?

That really gives me a headache, my head is going to explode! Unless I really lack talent?

Maybe… Oscar was the one with real talent! Maybe when He grows up later, he can answer my question…”

He thought and suddenly jumped. He raised his axe and slammed it towards one of the seats behind him. He nearly chopped off the God of Conspiracy's head, but somehow He managed to dodge it.

“It is really you that is trying to pull a trick on me!” The God of Justice was clamoring arrogantly. “If you weren't paying attention on me, how could you dodge such a sudden chop of my axe!”

Not only was the God of Conspiracy silent, the rest of the various Gods were shocked too, and they were at a loss for words.

“Such strong reason!” the God of Fear that had a clergy of “tyranny” widened His eyes and complemented. “He deserves to be one who practices violence! Although He has yet to swing off the shadow of hypocrite, He could walk along the correct pathway with this capability!”

“How is this pathway correct?!” The Goddess of Woods asked angrily, who had always been against Him. “If He weren't looking at Him, wouldn't He be chopped?”

“What's wrong with being chopped?” The God of Justice in dug his ears rudely with his left pinky and then pointed at the God of Conspiracy with his filthy fingers. He paid no heed and said, “What's wrong with killing that b*stard?”

The Goddess of Woods looked, and the God of Conspiracy and was still speechless.

Just like the God of Justice said, what was wrong with killing the God of Conspiracy?

Nothing!

The God of Conspiracy had been trying to pull all kind of tricks and strategies behind Gods' backs. Gods that were more experienced had never been treated fairly by Him. Even His allies in name were fooled, including the Goddess of Woods who belonged under the Nature God system. Their God system belonged to the worst-hit area of the God of Conspiracy. Which one of them was not holding grudges? Which one of them wasn't full of grievances!

Wouldn't it be great to kill the God of Conspiracy? Great! Too awesome!

To deal with him severely, with speed, was best; it'd be better to kill Him completely.

“But the method is not right,” the Goddess Gaia said. “It must be reasonable.”

“Be reasonable? By killing this b*stard, which part is unreasonable?” The God of Warriors raised his sword and shouted, “Yorgaardman Majesty is right! It is only right to kill that despicable snob!”

Obtaining the support of the God of Warriors, the God of Justice got even more arrogant. “Everyone please evaluate this. Which part about killing that bloody b*stard doesn't make sense?”

The God of War touched His beard and said slowly, “There must be a good reason for waging a war. You killing Him out of nowhere is against the rules.”

“How could I kill Him with no reason! There's great enmity between the two of us!” The God of Justice suddenly had eyes as big as a wild bull's and said angrily, “If I were to tell you every single incident that caused resentment, I couldn't even finish the list in a few days!”

Then, the God of Righteousness and Law spoke. “It is inappropriate to kill in the solemn Pantheon Temple.”

“No matter where is it, killing the b*stard is aligned with good principles!”

Suddenly, the solemn Pantheon Temple was in chaos. Various Gods were arguing, as though it were a market.

The King of Order who sat at the far front was looking at it quietly, and revealed a pondering smile.

Sui Xiong didn't know what happened in the Pantheon Temple. Even if he knew, he wouldn't be interested to look into depths to find out why his brother got crazy out of a sudden.

Because he was really busy, really really busy!

He wondered if his luck was bad; just when he was moving with the world, there were a few worlds that leaned towards him from his surroundings, and joined with his world.

Then, the devils from the few worlds flowed out like surging tides and launched the biggest invasion war he had ever seen in the Abyss towards his world.

Even those few monarchs of devils in the few worlds dashed out without previous consultation. They were simply like sharks that smelled a bloody, fishy smell!

“The h*ck! You think I am a target to be bullied, right?” Sui Xiong was so p*ssed, he raised his tentacle to launch punches and kicks. He fought the b*stards into a corner.

“Even a sick tiger has its claws! I will kill all of you b*stards today!”
