Complaints aside, Sui Xiong had no intention of arguing with the Lord of Glory. What was past was past; there was no point in talking about it anymore.
He sighed and asked, "By your account, at least when you challenged the Lord of Order, your mindset still leaned toward 'protecting humanity' and 'maintaining humanity's position as the dominant race.' So why did you make such a sharp turn afterward? The you of that time would never have rounded up all the gods who came to congratulate you. That wasn't something a ruler of status and character ought to do! And it would make all the gods your enemies, leaving you isolated against the world. Not to mention killing the Chaos Dragon—ingratitude was never your style!"
"The crucial change came after I devoured the core of the Lord of Utmost Evil." The Lord of Glory did not intend to conceal it. "My first plan was to use the Chaos Dragon's flesh and blood to draw in Chaos, leaving the Lord of Order beset from both sides. If that plan failed, and you stepped in to stop Chaos, then I would take advantage of your battle with Chaos to launch a sneak attack, seize the Lord of Utmost Evil's core from its body, and devour it to gain tremendous power. After that, at worst, I'd flee for my life and wander everywhere. The Lord of Order could hardly abandon everything just to hunt me down. Once I had completely absorbed the Lord of Utmost Evil's power, I could return and rule the world. There would have been nothing wrong with that."
Sui Xiong nodded slightly. On the surface, there seemed to be nothing wrong with that plan.
"Then why did you change your mind after devouring the Lord of Utmost Evil's core?"
