TOMWDET Chapter 203

Winning Without Lifting a Finger After Transmigration

In the following two days, the entire territory of the Winged Tribe remnants was covered by dark elements.

Clemens’s explanation was that he needed some time to make humans genuinely believe in Su Li from their hearts. And during this period, it would be best for humans not to use elements to prevent being detected by the [Spirit].

The coverage of dark elements added another layer of concealment to the point of not using elements.

After confirming that subsequent conversations would not cause any impact on the god-making experiment, Castor boldly said to the completely unaware Su Li and Clemens, who thought everything had to start from scratch. “If what you’re referring to is that kind of pure faith, then from the very beginning, Lord Su Li has already been an existence that this human group would never ignore.”

Although this concept of “the very beginning” referred to the timeline when other human groups besides Su Li entered monster beast society.

Clemens froze in place directly.

“…I thought I needed to use that kind of controlling power to force humans or other monster beasts to believe in Su Li.”

“How could you think that way?” the researcher said in astonishment. “Before the Dark Pope promoted Lord Su Li among humans, I was already Lord Su Li’s eternal believer.”

“I once swore that I would dedicate my body, my soul, my will, my everything entirely to him.”

“Besides me, there are many others who can reach this level. For example, Egbert, the former Son of Light. After falling from the Land of Light, apart from still using light elements, he had long ago dedicated everything of himself to Lord Su Li.”

“There’s also Cyril.” After thinking for a moment, Castor also dragged the dragon-blooded youth into it. “This child’s belief in becoming stronger comes entirely from Lord Su Li, and his goal of becoming stronger is entirely to protect him.”

“As far as I know, Cyril has thought more than once about how to kill Elvi… that giant dragon. You should know that Elvi’s dragon bloodline and Cyril’s bloodline belong to the same lineage, which means that Cyril’s idea of wanting to kill the giant dragon is basically equivalent to… ancestor annihilation?”

Castor said a term he wasn’t quite sure about himself.

“Besides what I’ve mentioned now, there are too many people who similarly believe in Su Li.”

Perhaps feeling that the Beast King’s continued lack of response and rigid posture was due to disbelief, Castor finally said, “Rather than using verbal statements to show how much we believe in Lord Su Li, why don’t you directly use those god-forging methods you know about?”

“Results are the best method of proof, aren’t they?”

“Of course, you’d better swear that your subsequent actions won’t cause any negative effects on Lord Su Li’s body.” Castor narrowed his eyes.

This man, nearly forty years old, whose body had become inexplicably gaunt from always forgetting to eat due to research, even with a face full of stubble, could still reveal that kind of pathological temperament of a mad researcher. He said, “Otherwise…”

“Even if humans can’t kill you, I will definitely find thousands upon thousands of ways to make your life worse than death.”

Only then did Clemens speak with difficulty: “I just never imagined that in front of me, you always showed ‘ordinariness’…”

“No, no, no! I used the wrong adjective.” When he noticed that the pathological temperament on the researcher was becoming more pronounced, Clemens felt fear after a long time.

“What I mean is, Su Li appeared too calm in front of me. He never seemed to think he had anything remarkable about himself. Being believed in by so many people, although I didn’t convert this faith power into a carrier that would allow him to absorb elements in advance, he would ultimately be able to become a god in your human understanding as well.”

“Just wouldn’t be immortal.”

Only then did Castor nod with satisfaction.

After restraining that abnormal temperament, the researcher said, “This is also part of Lord Su Li’s characteristics.”

“Relying on talent and being arrogant, always showing arrogance and flamboyance, constantly maintaining aristocratic demeanor… that would never be Lord Su Li.”

“He can lie in a rocking chair and peacefully enjoy the sun’s warmth, he can walk freely at aristocratic banquets, even if he were bouncing around in fields or leaving barefoot prints along the coast, I would only find it natural.”

The researcher clearly had a twisted attitude that Su Li could be in any form, but you couldn’t use various words to define him.

Su Li: …

…

He asked a question with difficulty, dryly, and uncontrollably:

“…So why have I never known about this so-called faith?”

“Because systematically promoting it only happened after you entered monster beast society.” The one saying this was Julius.

The youth with ice-blue eyes initially maintained a clearly distrustful attitude toward Clemens’s experimental plan.

Until Su Li said helplessly: “Compared to truly facing both the [Tiger] and the [Spirit] simultaneously, indirectly winning over the [Tiger] can at least make him hold back slightly in the process of fighting humans to the death.”

“In such battles, no one knows exactly how many people will die.”

As long as it’s a battlefield, people will definitely die.

Everyone happy, not a single death…

Honestly, even fairy tales wouldn’t be that beautiful.

Su Li could only minimize losses as much as possible.

There was no other way besides this.

It was also because of this that Julius stopped maintaining his distrustful attitude toward the [Tiger].

That youth once again shouldered responsibilities that didn’t belong to him.

Risk avoidance was good, but actively showing trust toward the [Tiger], wasn’t that saying that compared to what conspiracy Clemens might have, Su Li hoped more that Clemens would always be like what he showed on the surface?

Julius felt sad about this, just like a certain princess who never showed mercy in her words. No matter how harsh she spoke, as long as it concerned Su Li taking on responsibilities he shouldn’t bear, both their feelings were equally heartbroken.

No longer focusing on those things that happened before, Julius continued, “Qi himself also needs to carry out a certain degree of centralization. Divine authority is intentionally suppressed. With no new Pope of Light selected and Diz and I mutually shirking responsibility, an environment where divine authority is suppressed naturally formed.”

“The Grand Judge naturally wouldn’t choose to let this pass. Qi himself also doesn’t intend to become a puppet king; he needs real power. In this way, Su Li, you became the most suitable replacement for the God of Light and God of Darkness to be worshipped by the masses.”

Julius spoke with conviction: “At least you wouldn’t forcibly brainwash those with or without money, making nobles contribute financial resources and ordinary people contribute life resources, ultimately forming a group power centered on divine authority, even affecting the peaceful and stable development of an entire country.”

Su Li was stunned.

Seeing Su Li’s lifeless expression, Julius only thought Su Li was unwilling to become someone to be worshipped.

If not for Su Li’s special constitution, otherwise, according to Clemens’s statement, the youth would sooner or later be turned into an immortal special existence by them.

If Su Li really wanted immortality, then others might carry out some god-forging behaviors based on his wishes.

But this would prioritize Su Li’s will above all else.

But if they made him immortal without Su Li knowing anything, this would basically be equivalent to completely ignoring Su Li’s personal will, and both the behavior and final result would be completely wrong.

What’s more, Su Li had no intention of immortality at all.

This point made Julius’s heart turn cold, while he also said: “We always said with our mouths that you shouldn’t bear those responsibilities that don’t belong to you, but now looking back, we realize we’ve always been placing those responsibilities on you on our own, even thinking that was good for you…”

“Looking at it this way, copying the paintings Cyril once drew and conducting ‘divine’ sales also became entirely an offense. Even the money earned from selling those copied paintings, which made you wealthy enough to rival nations, seems to have entirely become an insult to you.”

“From the information I’ve learned, you’re the kind of person who doesn’t have particularly high standard requirements for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Even the half-cooked fish pie that Egbert once made, you could eat it as if facing death bravely…”

Julius was almost making himself cry.

His eyes already had an obvious red rim.

Then Julius forcefully closed his eyes and shouted regardless: “What exactly have I, no, we done!”

Su Li: …

No, he was just shocked earlier that Julius would actually understand the indirect dangers that divine authority poses to humans.

As for the current daze, it was genuinely thorough pure shock.

“Wealthy enough to rival nations?”

Julius honestly said, “In fact, although that money bears your name, it’s impossible to keep it stored in warehouses forever.”

“No matter how realistic those practical reasons are, we still haven’t given you everything you deserve, and instead made you bear responsibilities you shouldn’t have to bear.”

“And that money you’ve never even seen was ultimately invested in Amikbi’s new construction under your name…”

Whether there would be profits later, Julius didn’t know, but now, it had been in continuous loss.

After all, whether it was half the shops in the Inner City or eighty percent of the farmland outside Mercenary City, those things probably had no meaning for Su Li, who neither rejoiced in material gain nor grieved over material loss.

Su Li: …

Well, what should he say?

He admitted that he was indeed shocked by other humans’ actions for that instant.

But to speak of negative emotions, there were absolutely none.

Portrait rights and such…

Su Li had always been very clear that he wasn’t using his original body at all.

A body created by the world consciousness and such…

Su Li admitted his cognition had suffered some distortion.

–While he didn’t know, he already had wealth rivaling nations?

–And that wealth was also converted into money for reinvestment?

Shops and land purchases…

Once humans broke free from the forced oppression of monster beast civilization in this other world, their development was predictable.

What was this?

This was winning without lifting a finger after transmigration?

Unrelated to showing off, Su Li currently had no real sense of it.

Therefore, he could only say to Julius, who was trapped in his own world: “I thought the current focus should still be on making me regain the ability to control elements.”

Su Li: It’s already so absurd that there’s no way to be shocked.jpg
