Swallowing the world’s hub?

This was definitely not a joke.

By devouring the world’s hub, it was possible to control the entire world, which of course would encounter the backlash of the entire world’s power. If one was talented enough to suppress the backlash, the benefits of controlling a world were simply too large to be imagined; but if not, the result would naturally be worse than imagined.

Huge interests were accompanied by great risks, and gave people such dilemmas.

Sui Xiong did not want to take such a risk, but he could not resist such a big temptation.

Standing in front of the crystal ball, he repeatedly weighed the risks and benefits, but he was always unable to make up his mind.

After controlling a world, at the very least, it could be used as a safe place to hide. It could further serve as a base for training soldiers. It could also be used to create a variety of rare resources. Other benefits were numerous; why did the Gods want to create their own holy kingdoms? Just for these benefits!

Sui Xiong had not been able to build his own holy kingdom, and many of his believers’ souls were still sealed in the altar and were not properly placed. If he could control this world, he could try to transform it into a holy kingdom, so that the dead believers had a place to go and achieve the ultimate salvation of his denomination.

For him, this was almost an urgent issue.

It had been almost four years since the beginning of the construction of his church. Four years was not long, but time passed quickly. Especially for the Gods who were in a stable state, decades passed in the blink of an eye. For example, he unknowingly spent almost a year on recovering his wounds from the two worlds in the Abyss he explored before.

However, for mortals, life spans were only 50 or 60 years. Even those powerful adventurers who didn’t enter the legendary realm and didn’t use various means to renew their lives would only live up to 70 or 80 years, which was their limit. There were already many people in the common believers of Sui Xiong who had gone white-haired. If it was not possible to build the holy kingdom before they died, it was unacceptable to let them take a rest in the virtual world of the altar.

When others are honest with me, I should also treat them with honesty. Believers offer me faith, and I, as a God, should naturally return my blessing to them. The redemption of the soul is an indispensable part of the blessing.

However, even now, Sui Xiong had not been able to build the holy kingdom.

The creation of the holy kingdom needed to start from the direction of the world’s origins; he needed to create a small world out of nothing, and then gradually improve and expand it. This required the mediation of the priesthood, so only the real God could do it.

However, Sui Xiong had not yet completed the ceremony of apotheosization to prepare for the priesthood.

On the one hand, although he possessed enough strengths, they rarely matched his ideals; correctly speaking, there were none. On the other hand, a future of being affected by beliefs and confined by the priesthood made him very worried.

So he had been hesitant and refused to make a decision.

He had more time and he could wait for a decade, 100 years, 1,000 years, or 10,000 years. Anyway, he was not mortal. It did not matter how long he waited.

When he practiced in deep trenches, the transition between cold and heat he saw occasionally when he breathed on the surface of the sea occurred hundreds of times. Time did not affect him.

But time could have an impact on his followers; and it had a great impact.

He didn’t even think of the ages of ordinary believers whom he rarely met with. Just in a few of the core believers whom he often met, Palin had grown a little taller and had a few soft beards on his chin; although Rhode was still strong, he had already started having white hair on his head; Satan had already gotten glasses; Olian had grown to be a charming big girl, and there were even many people talking about her wedding... If it was true that several hundred years had passed, then even the legendary strongmen would all grow old...

He could wait, but they couldn’t wait.

But now, he saw an opportunity. If he could control such a world and transform it into a holy kingdom, the problem would be solved.

Not only that, he could also get countless benefits; the simplest one being that once he controlled the world, those unstoppable demons of the thunder system would become an inexhaustible source of soldiers. If he fought with other Gods, he would not need to worry about being besieged by a sea of people.

On the contrary, in the face of solitary Gods, he could, in turn, use the tactics of multitude, killing the other’s power at the expense of massive casualty.

And... the process of controlling and transforming a world could also greatly deepen his understanding of the nature of power and the roots of the world, and would be even more beneficial for further improvement!

So he was hesitant. Even if he knew that the risk was huge, he was reluctant to give up.

He was stealthily beside the crystal ball and contemplating silently.

Not knowing how much time had passed, the world had begun to fill with the power of lightning. Clouds re-shaded the sky. The sounds of thunder had joined together. Countless flashes of lightning had turned the ground into a sandstone, and countless demons appeared in the lightning and killed all of the demons rushing from the space crack, and then rushed and launched aggression against other worlds.

Sui Xiong looked at the demon’s imposing appearance and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Why do I think so much! How can life be so precious!

“I enjoyed peace and quietness for the first half of my life. I can also make a second space travel in the second half of my life. I have experienced incredible wonderful things and I don’t know how long I have lived... what else do I need to worry about?

“If thousands of years are like this, I have already lived for thousands of years; why should I be so afraid of death!

“What is life? It’s a regretless journey that blooms!

“Done!

Saying so, he waved his tentacles and rolled up the crystal ball, twinkling with lightning, and swallowed it.

The fierce thunder and lightning suddenly broke out in his stomach. The endless lightning force cooked about half of the body of the giant jellyfish almost instantaneously. The inner part of him was directly turned into coke.

Fortunately, Sui Xiong had already cut off the feeling of the soul and body. Even if the entire body was burned into coke, it had no real effect on him.

Now for him, the jellyfish body was a set of tools for resolving and absorbing the crystal ball. Even if there was a loss, it did not matter, as long as it could achieve the goal.

A steady flow of magic and nutrition was mobilized and sent to the part that was in contact with the crystal ball. It was constantly consumed by it, and it continued to replenish, initiating a long war of attrition.

From the outside world, there was fierce and unimaginable thunder. It completely covered a large circle of the area around it, and lightning dazzled. It was not clearly visible what was inside.

A long time passed, and Sui Xiong suddenly felt a little bit of change.

In the area where the crystal ball was constantly consumed, a few parts of his body changed and became somewhat similar to the ball.

These parts were only very minute pieces, but in lightning, these small pieces were not damaged at all, but were slowly increasing.

Rejoicing, Sui Xiong knew that the most dangerous and critical step had passed.

At this time, the whole world, which was still calm, shook violently. The endless power rose from every corner of the world and gathered in majestic thunder strikes that fiercely hit Sui Xiong who was amidst the thunder.

With that blow, the huge body of the jellyfish disappeared with the crystal ball in the body and was almost completely destroyed.

But amidst the thunder, there were many tiny particles still floating, unaffected.

Sui Xiong, hiding in a fine grain, watched the thunder which was more and more terrifying, and he smiled.

“It turns out that... this world is like this!”

There was only a tiny difference between before and after. If the counterattack of the entire world power came even earlier and even if Sui Xiong had not transformed even one bit, the result would be that the body would be completely destroyed. Whether a soul without a body could survive in the thunder and lightning was unknown.

But now, this world was no threat to him!

Although the crystal ball had been destroyed, the fragments were still there. Even though they were small, they were actually concrete and microscopic crystal ball structures. Once they were reconstructed, they could become the hub of the world, and this world would be under the control of Sui Xiong.

In the endless thunder, those fragments slowly converged and eventually turned into a thumb-sized mini jellyfish.

Sui Xiong fiercely motivated his power and had an amazing attraction in his body of a mini jellyfish which sucked all the endless thunder around it. Obviously, the body was a little small; it was like a black hole with endless attraction.

After a moment, the sky was clear, and even the clouds that covered the sky disappeared without a trace.

Sui Xiong, who had enough strength, slightly yelled, and his body was suddenly enlarged, and he turned into a beast that covered the entire sky.

He hung countless tentacles like tall trees, and stuck them in the ground to penetrate every corner of the world with the tentacles of power.

This world was like a building block that had been taken apart. There was no mystery. As long as he was willing to, at any time he was able to change the world. Whether he wanted to make it full of lightning or sunny, he could do so by changing his mind.

Sui Xiong slowly and gradually contracted his body to become an ordinary flying jellyfish, floating in the clear sky.

“I don’t like this world of thunder and lightning. Let me turn it into a form that I am used to.”

After that, he closed his eyes and began to change the world in the way he had just understood.

Not knowing how long had passed, the earth below slowly turned green, and countless weeds grew from the gravel. Gradually there were many shrubs growing. There were some large and small gullies in the earth. A gurgling river unknowingly appeared.

When Sui Xiong opened his eyes again, the world had become a vast open country.

However, many demons had emerged there. They squabbled indiscriminately and completely ignored Sui Xiong’s command.

This was determined by the chaotic nature of this world. Even if Sui controlled the world’s hub, he could not reverse its chaotic nature.

Looking at this chaotic world, Sui Xiong was once again stuck in thoughts.

Of course, such a world cannot be a holy kingdom. How can I transform it?
