What Do You Call Your Father For?

In a spacious room in the Divine Temple's Rear Hall.

Xiao Gui lay quietly on the bed, as though he had fallen asleep.

At that moment, his Divine Sense had already entered his Divine Domain.

"Great Earth God, creator and ruler of all things."

"Source of all life and Faith!"

"Gui!"

"Great Ancestor God of the Flood Dragon People race, supreme and exalted existence!"

"Thank you for protecting us, allowing us to survive and multiply upon this vast continent!"

The rhythmic chants rang out continuously, sounding incomparably devout.

The Flood Dragon People were holding a grand sacrificial ceremony.

They were offering sacrifices to Xiao Gui.

That was right. The great Ancestor God the Flood Dragon People spoke of—Gui—was Xiao Gui's Divine Name.

Unlike Ye Yu.

Xiao Gui followed the legitimate path of Faith.

It was the most orthodox system of godhood in the World of Gods.

Thus, Xiao Gui had possessed a Divine Title from the very beginning.

His Divine Title was Earth God!

Within his Divine Domain, he symbolized the source of all life!

Amid the priest's sonorous chanting, the Flood Dragon People began offering tributes to Xiao Gui's divine statue.

Before long, the divine fire within the altar before the statue began to leap joyously.

Xiao Gui, floating in midair and shrouded in immense power, gradually curled his lips into a smile.

His face was filled with satisfaction.

"The Flood Dragon People really are powerful!"

"Give it a few days at most, and I'll be able to advance to a One-star Demigod."

"At this speed, even across the entire Divine Kingdom, I could be considered among the very best."

With that thought, Xiao Gui waved his hand.

The tributes placed before the statue abruptly vanished into thin air.

At the same time, a faint glow lit up on the divine statue.

"Ula ula ula!"

Seeing this, all the Flood Dragon People cheered.

The deity they believed in had accepted their tributes. This meant that their Flood Dragon People race had gained the Ancestor God's attention!

After the tributes disappeared, they automatically transformed into Faith Points and surged into Xiao Gui's body.

"Three days. In three days at most, I'll be able to advance to a One-star Demigod."

"Then, then Ye Yu's Divine Spark will be able to merge with mine..."

Feeling the surging Power of Faith within him, a flush crossed Xiao Gui's face, and his body trembled slightly!

After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand again.

Immediately afterward, a beam of white light shone out from the divine statue and fell upon the Flood Dragon People.

The Flood Dragon People's cheers grew even louder.

God had bestowed blessings upon them!

This meant that God was protecting their Flood Dragon People race.

"However, although the Flood Dragon People race is powerful, their reproductive ability is truly terrible."

"All the Flood Dragon People combined number only five or six hundred. The Faith they provide me is ultimately limited."

"No, I need to think of a way to increase the Flood Dragon People race's breeding rate, or open up a second race!"

In the void, Xiao Gui quickly fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a while, he gradually came up with an idea.

"I'll check the Library of the Divine Temple. Maybe I can find a method there."

With that thought, Xiao Gui withdrew from his Divine Domain.

Inside the room, Xiao Gui, who had been lying on the bed, abruptly sat up.

After getting out of bed, he pushed open the door and headed straight for the library.

Temple Library.

Ye Yu was intently flipping through the book in his hands.

Although this copy of Theories of Deities only recorded the basic rules of the World of Gods.

Mortals who had not become gods had no way of accessing such precious materials.

Thus, Ye Yu read with great interest.

"I didn't expect battles between deities to be carried out in this way."

Ye Yu had originally thought that battles between two deities would be like those in novels—world-shaking clashes where every gesture could destroy heaven and earth.

But in reality, that was not the case.

After two deities went to war, the laws of the world would connect their Divine Domains.

A battle between deities would then become a war in which both sides led their Believers.

It had to be said that Ye Yu found this method quite interesting.

A personal battle had been forcibly turned into a battle between factions.

"How exhilarating!"

Imagining himself leading countless Earth Players in conquest after conquest, with flames of war rising everywhere, Ye Yu immediately felt his blood boil.

Creak!

At that moment, the library's heavy doors suddenly let out a grating creak.

Then, a figure slowly walked in.

"Xiao Gui?"

Ye Yu subconsciously turned his head for a look and discovered that the person entering was actually Xiao Gui.

He was slightly surprised.

Why had Xiao Gui come to the library instead of developing his own Divine Domain?

He had never seemed particularly interested in books before.

"Ye Yu!"

Xiao Gui also saw Ye Yu and froze for a moment.

For some reason, his body suddenly felt weak.

Yet he forced himself to endure the weakness in his legs and walked toward the bookshelves on his own.

After only a few steps, he felt as though all his strength had been drained away, and he could not help leaning against a bookshelf.

The atmosphere instantly fell silent.

Ye Yu glanced at Xiao Gui, withdrew his gaze, and ignored him.

Who cared what Xiao Gui had come here for? Could he really turn the world upside down?

Even if Xiao Gui started fighting him right then, Ye Yu would not fear him in the slightest.

"Why did Ye Yu come to the library too?"

Xiao Gui appeared calm, but his heart was far from as composed as he looked.

He secretly glanced at Ye Yu. When he saw the words Theories of Deities on the cover of the book in Ye Yu's hands, he was slightly stunned.

"Theories of Deities?"

"What is this book about? Ye Yu is so absorbed in it. Could there be something special inside?"

All kinds of distracting thoughts flashed through Xiao Gui's mind.

He forcibly suppressed those thoughts, casually picked up a book titled Flood Dragon People Postpartum Care, and sat down.

After opening the book and reading only a few lines, Xiao Gui felt as if his head were about to explode.

He recognized every word in the book.

But once those damned words were put together, he was completely lost.

Damn it, I can't understand this!

Although everyone in the World of Gods had a chance to become a deity.

Before becoming gods, the various Divine Cities would also educate their Subjects.

But unfortunately, no matter how formidable these deities were.

How could their cultural standards compare to Earth's?

Earth's humans, especially those in Yanhuang Nation, could turn reading comprehension alone into an absurdly elaborate art.

Thus, although Xiao Gui was not unintelligent.

He truly was not good at this sort of thing.

Especially when he saw Ye Yu rapidly flipping through Theories of Deities, with a thoughtful expression occasionally appearing on his face!

He was instantly bewildered!

Could it be that I, Xiao Gui, truly cannot compare to Ye Yu?

So that's why you've always ignored my existence?

Why?

Why have you always been so outstanding?

Xiao Gui's emotions became somewhat unbalanced.

"Ye Yu!"

The name Ye Yu slipped from Xiao Gui's mouth before he could stop it.

Hearing this, Ye Yu raised his head and gave him an indifferent glance.

"What do you call your father for?"
