The Giant God's research had not gone very smoothly. It was not because the subject was too complicated, but because it was incomplete.
The complete composition should have been Magic Tool Ancestor God + Children of the Stars + Void Demon Empire + Magic Tool Race. Yet he had swallowed it whole without chewing, failing to properly consume the latter two and leaving himself defective.
Of course, there had been no time for that back then. After all, the Giant God had been wary of the Human Guardian.
This led to him succeeding only by relying on his crippled Divine Portfolio as a Divine Being to forcibly suppress the backlash from his incomplete state.
Lu Xingshi also learned of the Giant God's Divine Portfolio. It had to be said, the fellow had truly dared to gamble.
His Divine Portfolio was Civilization, though it was currently incomplete, because roughly two-thirds of it was on the Order Executor.
The Giant God possessed only one-third.
Fortunately, the Order Executor's primary Divine Portfolio was Order rather than Civilization. Otherwise, the Giant God could never have succeeded.
Still, this could not really be considered a success. If he had truly succeeded, the Giant God would not have been beaten into such a state by the Order Executor.
At the very least, he would have had some strength left to resist.
As for Lu Xingshi, he was not particularly covetous of the Divine Portfolio of Civilization.
It was good, and it was indeed powerful, but it had been recorded in the world's database. Although he had not yet completely torn his face off with the world, they were already in opposition.
If he truly took it into account, he would gain an extra weakness for nothing.
He was better off honestly remaining an Ancient One.
