Of course, Sui Xiong had far more than just this one trick.
After cutting off the God of Eagles Church's grand cathedral and depriving the God of Eagles of its source of divine power, leaving it unable to obtain the immense energy needed for resurrection, he began working from another angle.
The God of Eagles could be resurrected partly because its bloodline had spread among mortals, and partly because its faith was propagated throughout the world. Sui Xiong had few ways to deal with the latter, but he could certainly tamper with the former.
Generally speaking, a god's resurrection was like an auction: the highest bidder won. This "highest bidder" chiefly referred to how closely the vessel used for resurrection was related to the god in question. Leon, as a direct descendant of the God of Eagles, was naturally very closely related to the deceased god. But in this world, there were actually quite a few mortals who, like him, carried the direct bloodline of the God of Eagles.
Sui Xiong easily found more than a dozen members of the royal family. He rendered them all unconscious, then casually selected one of them and extracted the "God of Eagles" component from the others' bloodlines, injecting it into his bloodline.
It sounded simple enough, but was actually extremely troublesome. Extracting a specific factor from someone's bloodline was delicate craftsmanship. If he did not care whether those being drained lived or died, it would have been quite easy—but how could Sui Xiong be such a vicious villain, heedless of human lives? He would rather go through more trouble than gamble with people's lives.
Thus, he had no choice but to expend a little more divine power before successfully concentrating the power of all those bloodlines into one person.
This lucky fellow, whose
