There was an anecdote on Earth about someone trying to bribe his superior. The superior said, "People will find out about this. Not good, not good." The man tried to persuade him: "There are only you and me here. No one else will know." The superior sighed. "Heaven knows, Earth knows, gods know, ghosts know, you know, and I know. How could no one know?"
Sui Xiong was poorly read and could not remember the exact details of the anecdote, but he found the phrase "Heaven knows, Earth knows, gods know, ghosts know, you know, and I know" quite interesting, so he remembered it.
On Earth, this saying could only count as superstition. After all, heaven, earth, ghosts, and gods over there were all imagined, illusory things. But in this world, heaven and earth had spirits, while ghosts and gods possessed awareness—there was no doubt about it.
Take Sui Xiong himself, for instance. As a god, he possessed a marvelous sense of perception. No matter where he was, so long as someone mentioned him or plotted against him, he would be able to sense it.
If gods took action, perhaps they could block such perception. But whether it was the Kingdom of Thousand Springs or the Arcane Tower Federation, those in charge were merely mortals. While they were discussing their plans, Sui Xiong had already vaguely sensed that people in these two places intended to plot against him. He simply did not know the details, nor did he know exactly who was behind it.
But that did not matter. Just as the God of Strategy, Ogmanding, had discussed with him, no matter who had done it, when the time came, he only needed to trouble these two countries and demand compensation from them.
