The distress of the Queen of Water Elements was really high-end.

Until now, Sui Xiong hadn’t officially become a god. He didn’t even have a formal priesthood, and his deity was only at the level of “god-to-be.” With such an identity, Sui Xiong thought, Madam, you have a lot of time to be distressed. I came here early today; I haven’t even brushed my teeth yet…

He was just teasing. Actually, Sui Xiong was a little curious. He wanted to know what efforts the Queen of Water Elements had made. Was there any experience for reference?

Although he was still far away from these things, everyone had curiosity. As an old saying went, a journey of a thousand miles began with a single step. Sui Xiong was still a god-to-be who couldn’t be counted as a weak Divine Power, but he could use the experience when he grew into a great Divine Power!

Maybe he was going to follow the route of devils, and he wouldn’t pursue great Divine Power or greater Divine Power. However, the experience of a strong predecessor who pursued a stronger realm was always valuable.

Why did many painters do some part-time work? Some did it in order to earn money to support their families, but more were just seeking inspiration.

The experience of others could help a person find his own shortcomings. This principle worked everywhere.

The Queen of Water Elements sighed for a while; then she began to introduce her efforts to break through the great Divine Power and step into a greater Divine Power in these years.

Of course, she hadn’t done that blindly. At first, she had analyzed the characteristics of the four great Divine Powers. Every one of them was a master of a world, and the worlds they controlled were big enough.

“Big” meant not only a large scale but also referred to complicated and rich content. Talking about scale, the four Elemental Planes were also infinite. In fact, there were many infinite worlds, but they were all contained within the four planes that the Big Circulation flowed through.

The key to the problem lay in the complexity and richness of the world

The King of Earth Elements had made the first attempt. He had believed that in order to make a breakthrough, it had been necessary to raise the level of the Earth Elemental Plane to the same level as that of the Four Planes. Therefore, he had started to urge the Earth Elemental Plane to launch a large-scale erosion towards the Matter Plane. He had planned to replace the Matter Plane in this way, and then to replace the seat of the Master of Order.

“What was the result?” Sui Xiong asked curiously.

“He was killed by the Master of Order.”

“Well, very reasonable.”

The result was so reasonable without any turns or suspense, so it was boring.

The King of Wind Element had made the second attempt. He believed that he should develop the Elemental Planes. It had taken him countless amounts of energy to push the four Elemental Planes to influence each other. As a result, some secondary Elemental Planes had appeared.

It had been a great project. Finally, he had created four secondary Elemental Planes. The Wind Elemental Plane and the Fire Elemental Plane had interacted with each other and had created the Smoke Plane. The Fire Elemental Plane and the Earth Elemental Plane had interacted with each other and had created the Lava Plane. The Wind Plane and the Water Plane had interacted with each other and had created the Ice Plane. The Water Plane and the Earth Plane had interacted with each other and had created the Mud Plane.

This had brought tremendous changes to the world. The resources had been richer, and the creatures had become more diverse. Therefore, the King of Smoke Elements, the King of Lava Elements, the King of Ice Elements and the King of Mud Elements had been produced.

However, the King of Wind Elements hadn’t been advanced because of that.

He hadn’t been discouraged. He believed that he hadn’t created enough things, so he continued to think about what to do.

After observing the Big Circulation for a long time, he decided to build some worlds that symbolized the Positive Plane, the Negative Plane and the Spirit Plane in the inner part of the Matter Plane. Therefore, it could form an independent circulation.

“I always felt that the amount of the engineering was a bit much,” Sui Xiong commented.

The Queen of Water Elements sighed. She nodded silently and then continued to speak.

“This time, the amount of engineering was larger than that of the last time. The King of Wind Element tried his best to build the two planes of Positive Energy and Negative Energy. When he wanted to build the Soul Plane, he suddenly fell down and died.”

“What?!” Sui Xiong’s eyes widened, and his mouth was wide open. After being stunned for a long time, he asked, “Who killed him?”

“Nobody,” the Queen of Water Elements said, sighing. “He was exhausted to death.”

Sui Xiong was stunned for a long time before he came back to his sense.

Exhausted to death.

Well, in Chinese mythology, Pan Gu, the creator of the universe, had also been exhausted to death. In contrast, it seemed reasonable that the King of Wind Element had been exhausted to death.

However, he was a top-class powerful god who was going to become a greater Divine Power. It was a bit ironic that he had finally been excessively overworked and exhausted to death.

The King of Wind Element had died, so the efforts to create a new world had naturally been interrupted. The Soul Plane hadn’t been able to be built, and the two planes of Positive Energy and Negative Energy had interacted with the existing four big planes. As a result, another eight planes, which were smaller than the Secondary Elemental Planes, had appeared.

In the direction of Positive Energy, there was Lightning, Light, Steam, and Ore. In the direction of Negative Energy, there was Vacuum, Ash, Salt, and Dust. The huge system composed of the four Main Planes, two Subordinated Planes, four Secondary Planes, and eight Sub-Secondary Planes had finally been formed. The worlds inside the Matter Plane had also produced their own circulations.

After hearing this, Sui Xiong couldn’t help but sigh. He said, “The King of Wind Elements… What a pity!”

“Yeah, what a pity,” the Queen of Water Elements said, sighing. “If he wasn’t exhausted to death, he might have really succeeded.”

“Yeah, he might’ve.”

However, this was nonsense. The King of Wind Elements had died. It meant nothing to him whether he had succeeded or failed.

After the death of the King of Wind Elements, the Queen of Water Elements and the King of Fire Elements had been silent for a long time. On the one hand, the road that had seemed to work had already been used by the King of Wind Elements. Even if they had wanted to go through this way, there had been no worlds that could be created on a large scale. On the other hand, they had been scared.

After a long time, the King of Fire Elements had suddenly come to visit the Queen of Water Elements, indicating that he had had a new idea.

“What idea?” Sui Xiong asked.

“You can’t make something without breaking something first. He wanted to give up his deity and start from scratch again,” the Queen of Water Elements said. “This time, instead of sticking to fire element, he wanted to include all the contents of the inner part of the Matter Plane.”

“Including water elements?” Sui Xiong asked, frowning.

“Yes, including water elements.”

Sui Xiong said, widening his eyes, “You actually agreed?!”

“Why wouldn’t I?” the Queen of Water Elements asked. “I only lost my priesthood temporarily. For me, the priesthood was originally something I gained afterwards. Even if I didn’t have a priesthood, I was still strong enough to rival any great Divine Power. I was still the absolute overlord of the Water Elemental Plane.”

Sui Xiong thought for a moment, and then he nodded, but he was still a little confused.

“In that case, the King of Fire Elements tried hard to control the inner part of the whole Matter Plane. Did he succeed?”

The Queen of Water Elements was silent for a while, and then she said, “Of course not. It was successful at first. However, when he tried to contain the water elements in his newly established priesthood, he exploded.”

“Exploded?”

“Yes, he exploded and died,” the Queen of Water Elements said calmly. “Water and fire are completely in conflict, so they can’t be integrated at all.”

“But he had integrated wind and earth successfully. They are also in conflict,” Sui Xiong said.

“He was a fire element,” the Queen of Water Elements said.

“I see!” Sui Xiong suddenly knew the reason. “Frankly speaking, these are your own innate attributes.”

The Queen of Water Elements nodded. She said, sighing, “After finishing the failure experience of others, it is time to tell you my own. Are you still interested in listening?”

Sui Xiong was completely attracted by her words, so he answered without hesitation, “Of course!”
