Sui Xiong did not consider himself particularly handsome—perhaps he was exceptionally handsome among jellyfish, but that was meaningless—nor was he the Lord of Mysteries' biological father, and he had never taken the Lord of Order as a godfather or godmother. So why was the Lord of Mysteries giving him such an extravagant gift?
Granted, the Lord of Mysteries was indeed trying to win him over and curry favor with him, to keep him from kicking them while they were down and having Vol split apart the "Mysteries" divine portfolio. But Sui Xiong was not someone who confused public and private matters, and as the "Knowledge" divine portfolio grew stronger, the collapse of the "Mysteries" divine portfolio was bound to come sooner or later. For that, offering up a subordinate god and a sealed divine kingdom already seemed more than sufficient to Sui Xiong. Was there really any need to throw in such a luxurious gift package as well?
It was like Zhang San asking someone to help him with a matter and giving him a set of precious antique furniture. The other party happily accepted it, only to return home and discover that hidden inside the furniture were jewels worth at least a hundred times more than the furniture itself... Sui Xiong felt that, aside from certain disgraced tycoons who accepted hundreds of thousands without even bothering to count it, leaving stacks of banknotes tossed carelessly in their basements until they went moldy, ordinary people probably would not have the nerve to accept something like that.
Of course, in terms of status, Sui Xiong now stood far above those tycoons from Earth. But when it came to greed without bottom, he was still far behind.
So no matter how he thought it over, he could not make sense of it,
