Sui Xiong’s question was of course an innuendo. “Name” was the emblem of approval. If it were to approve the name “Heimsarah,” it meant that the powerful semi God still maintained his thought and feelings back then, and He was still Sui Xiong’s friend; But, if it approved the name “Sarament” instead, they were just acquaintances.

Among the gentle wind, the waves billowed. A steady and deep voice was heard from the sea. “I am still Heimsarah, it’s just that I have gotten brand new strength and wisdom. As for Sarament; I am his successor, just that.

If so, everyone’s happy.

Then, Heimsarah explained his situation to Sui Xiong in detail. Back then, after it defeated Timsar, it took in the legacy that he had inherited and snuck into bedrock underwater. It then slowly absorbed and fused the legacy.

To a giant like it, time was really not something that he had any concept about. A year plus passed before it realised. If it didn’t feel Sui Xiong’s scent and want to thank the friend that helped him a lot in person, it would still be fusing slowly in the bedrock underwater.

“You have yet to complete fusing?” Sui Xiong asked curiously. “I thought it had been done.”

“The most crucial part is done, but the rest still in its early stages,” Heimsarah replied. “The others left were slow workmanship. I reckon, mm, about 100 years will do. It wouldn’t be more than 200, 300 years at most.”

Sui Xiong was silent for a while. He sighed, “My friend, your concept towards time.... There’s really a problem with it!”

From 100 years to 200 or 300 years. The timespan was vastly different!

Heimsarah’s original body was still in the bedrock underwater, slowly absorbing power from Timsar. That moment, it was just a clone that appeared before Sui Xiong and Janvier. But, it was nothing big, as Sui Xiong and Javier were using their clones too.

To experts at their level, a clone would be strong enough. If it was just for chatting and fun, it’s more than enough.

The three of them discussed and turned into three adventurers along a cloud of smoke. They then returned to Garth City happily. They went to a restaurant that was of the highest class and ordered a sumptuous banquet. Most importantly, they bought a barrel of wine to drink while chatting.

Actually Sui Xiong and Heimsarah weren’t alcoholics. The only one that couldn’t leave drinks behind was Janvier.

Different from his two friends from the sea, Janvier was a real Day Touring God that strolled every day from dusk till dawn, and made appearances in countless celebrations. Hence, he had extensive knowledge and was well-informed. His knowledge could be as insignificant as that one of the King’s newborn babies was actually a production of his concubine and guard; to something as important as two clergies’ accumulated resentment over the years, which would explode soon, leading to an inevitable God war. Those were all his topics of conversation.

And he didn’t care about the “propriety” of the problem. From what he saw, all the news was only categorized as “interesting” and “not so interesting.” As for importance... Was it interesting? If it’s wasn’t, then no!

During their conversation, Sui Xiong brought up the things that he was busy about at that time.

“I have a bunch of believers in Ashes Woods in the northwest region,” He said. “In order to settle them, I will need to build a church.”

“This is very common,” Janvier said. “Not worth bringing up.”

“This is very common indeed, what interesting is at the back,” Sui Xiong said with a smile. “As you all know, Ashes Woods has strong negativity, and if the soil is not purified, commoners can’t live there, let alone plant crops or raise domestic animals.”

“Mm, that’s not a good place,” Heimsarah said. “I don’t like the scent there!”

“Yes; that’s why to build the seat of a church, I am planning to get a piece of purified land.”

“Purifying using magic? Have you mastered the death realm?” Janvier asked. “If you have yet to master death realm, you can only rely on force; that’s such a waste. I have a friend who has profound attainments in death realm. Although his concept of aesthetic is problematic, it’s overall worth a discussion.”

“In death realm and all, I only know a bit. But what I thought of wasn’t to purify the soil with magic, but to use the widespread negativity and make a set of interesting things...”

Sui Xiong spent a long period of time explaining his plan: to build a city that combined adventure and entertainment as a whole, and the underground city acting at its core.

He even used magic to make a model. As of then, the finished part of underground city was a clear sight while part of his plan, especially on the ground, was just shadow.

Looking at the mass model, forget about Heimsarah, that was a bumpkin; Janvier was really shocked.

“Oh god! Such great design! Such ornate concept! Such spectacular – this is simply miracle!” He looked at the model carefully and imagined what the city would look like in the future. He couldn’t help but give it compliments.

After compliments, he immediately raised his request. He hoped that his believers could have a footing in the city; it would be best if they could run a hotel or something the sort. It would be perfect!

“Of course it wouldn’t be a problem to run a hotel, but my plan was to build a combination theme park that combined food, entertainment and leisure. Could you find me some decent chefs and massage masters?” Sui Xiong asked. “Money is not an issue. I don’t even need them to stay, as long as they taught a few apprentices.”

Janvier patted his chest immediately and said, “Let me take care of this! Forget about the others. Eating, drinking and having fun is something I’m expert in!”

The three of them laughed and continued feasting.

After they had enough food and drink, they walked around Garth city. Sometimes, they turned into three clouds of green smoke went into the people’s home to look at their lives and to drop a few gold coins in the corner; sometimes, they turned into three long breezes and soared up in the sky to compete about their understanding toward God’s power. More often than not, they appeared as three adventurers, and had meals in one restaurant after another. Not only did they tried a number of restaurants in Garth city, they even flew into the nearby cities and enjoyed delicacies from the east coast.

Then, Janvier put his talent in eating, drinking and having fun to full use. That guy really didn’t bullshit. Every city they got to, he could tell where the good food and fun was at. Not one missed hit.

Not only was he familiar with famous attractions and restaurants, he was familiar with unnoticeable and unique attractions and restaurants that were small and exquisite.

“Not only are you God of happiness and celebration, you are simply the God of eat, drink and fun!” After a few days of fun, Sui Xiong complimented satisfyingly, “I think if there was anything related to eat, drink and fun, there wouldn’t be anything that you don’t know!”

“Yes. I am preparing in silence, planning to switch my God role,” Janvier smiled and said. “I am planning to give up my role in celebration, as I suit eating, drinking and fun more. My plan is to switch me clergy post to “enjoy” clergy plus “happiness” clergy. In short, I will appeal to my believers, to enjoy life. Regardless of the hardship and suffering, they have to find things that make them happy. They have to encourage themselves to face their lives with a smile on their faces. What do you think about this clergy and teaching?”

“Not too shabby,” Heimsarah replied. “Very interesting.”

“Although it felt too idealistic, it is much more reliable than before.” Sui Xiong nodded in agreement. “But, it is not that easy to change your clergy post, right?”

Janvier sighed softly and took another gulp of wine, “Yeah, it’s difficult. Maybe it will require another hundred or thousand years. But, no matter how difficult it is, I have to figure out a way! We Gods are as such. You either adapt to the clergy post or change your clergy post. If you want to force yourself to hold strongly at the clergy post that is against your school of thought, there will be trouble over time.

When he said so, Sui Xiong suddenly recalled Goddess of Ocean’s encounter, and he nodded continuously.

“Oh yeah; you are not officially promoted to God yet. What kind of clergy post are you looking for?” Janvier suddenly switched the topic and talked about Sui Xiong again. “Although there’s nothing bad about being a nature god, the speed of growth as a nature god is a problem. Plus, when you get stronger, you might not be able to stay back at a main dimension in another few hundred years. When you leave the main dimension without an exact clergy post, you will be at a disadvantage.

“I haven’t thought about it yet,” Sui Xiong said in distress. “The territory power that I possess is not little. Technically, I could seek out many clergy posts. But taking in consideration my outlook on the life, world and values, there are not many choices left. Maybe, I will spend my time and effort on ‘ice,’ seeking for such nature clergy post that would suit my needs more.”

“The competition among nature clergy post is too vigorous. I do not suggest you to seek for that,” Janvier said and shook his head. “For instance, for ice. You would have to to fight against the crazy bunch from Arctic Federation, and the few that are not crazy, but mean Gods. Even if you won against them, you would still have to pass through the barrier of King of Four Elements. Unless you are willing to bow to them and swear not to chase after promotion of strong godly power, they wouldn’t let you pass through that stage.

Sui Xiong let out a breath of relief. He didn’t think much back then. He thought by selecting natural phenomenon as clergy he would be able to avoid the heavy burden of power of belief. Evidently, everyone was not stupid. Everyone wanted to fight for such free and unrestrained clergy. If he were to be promoted as God from that particular direction, it would be even more difficult than it already was!

“I have a suggestion,” Janvier said. “The theme park design is very good. I believe it will definitely receive great admiration; there might even be people that follow as an example. Why don’t you just be a ‘God of Theme Park.’”

“God of Theme Park? This can work?”

“Of course; actually, ‘God of Underground City’ or ‘God of Entertainment’ are all good choices. But if you pick the ones before, be ready to battle with a few wicked Gods; if you pick the latter one... Ha-ha, as for those who seek for such clergy, there isn’t just me alone!”

Listening to his introduction and analysis, Sui Xiong nodded lightly and was deep in thought.

Unless... He really wanted to suddenly change his identity, from a giant jelly fish, to God of Theme Park, in a flash?

He imagined the entrance of each theme park in the future would have a portrait of his, and he was thrilled.

That was totally a strange world version of Disney...
