Sui Xiong felt a little nervous when he saw the Queen of Water Elements, not because the Queen of Water Elements was so powerful, but because he had just done something shameful and was caught on the spot. He was not as cheeky as the former sage Zhang Daqian. Although he thought he had done the right thing, he could not help but feel worried.

“That... ha ha, the weather is good today.” The green jellyfish, who was much smaller than the Queen of Water Elements, waved its tentacles and greeted her.

A huge shadow of water elements gradually solidified and eventually turned into a much smaller water element. Its color was very deep, and the water that constituted its body was almost solidified. It was hard to distinguish whether it was a water element or an ice element.

Sui Xiong knew that it was the Battle Clone of the Queen of Water Elements.

The real appearance of the Queen of Water Elements was naturally a huge and incomparable water element. She liked to change into an ice-sculptured noblewoman, so she was often respected as the “Ice Queen.” However, the Ice Queen was not her Battle Clone. Her true Battle Clone was the frozen water element in front of Sui Xiong now, called the King of Dead Water.

“I’m just passing by... There’s no need to fight with each other,” Sui Xiong said with a reluctant smile. “I’m just an incarnation. No matter if I win or lose, it doesn’t matter.”

The King of Dead Water did not open his mouth; he looked at him coldly.

Sui Xiong waited for a while but saw that the King of Dead Water did not want to fight. He was more puzzled and asked, “What on earth are you going to do? Your territory is not well managed, but you don’t allow others to interfere. After I interfered in your territory, you don’t want to talk nor do you want to fight... Why?”

The King of Dead Water finally spoke. His voice mixed with the sound of bubbling water, making it very difficult to understand. Fortunately, they both were gods, and they could exchange their ideas through their minds.

“Finally, you are here.”

“Ah?” Sui Xiong did not expect the King of Dead Water to say such words. He was stunned for a moment. “What do you mean? Did you want to see me for a while? If you wanted to see me, you could’ve just sent me a message. It would be impossible for me not to come when my predecessor calls me.”

“I can’t speak.”

“Why?”

“I can’t say.”

“Then let’s talk about something that you can speak about.” Sui Xiong did not intend to insist on getting to the bottom of the matter and asked. “Tell me something else. For example, why did you want me to come here?”

The King of Dead Water was silent for a moment and then answered, “I wanted to talk to you and to see you.”

“Now that you have seen me, what do you want to talk to me about?” Sui Xiong asked.

“Fate, future and transcendence.”

Sui Xiong was silent for a long time and asked doubtfully, “Are you sure you want to talk to me about this? I always thought that we weren’t friends or that our friendship was not deep enough to talk about such profound topics, right?”

Sui Xiong did not mean to beat around the bush. For gods, words and deeds were often in line with certain laws, so the contents for “talking” were also very particular. Generally speaking, it was no problem for them to talk about eating, drinking, and entertainment. It was a little difficult for them to talk about whom they were going to kill or whom they were going to make friends with... Unless their clergies included deception, lies, or they were good at such clergies. Gods were basically free to say what they wanted to say according to certain laws. As for topics like fate, future, and transcendence, that was to exchange thoughts about the future. If two gods were not reliable allies, they would never talk about those topics.

This was the first time for Sui Xiong and the Queen of Water Elements to meet each other. Not to mention friends, they were not even acquaintances. Why did the Queen of Water Elements want to talk with a guy who was not her friend or ally about those important topics?

The Queen of Water Elements did not answer but instead kept silent.

After what seemed a long time, Sui Xiong found that the Queen of Water Elements had left her original position and appeared in the center of a huge whirlpool.

This shocked him. Space movement was not a great skill, but the Queen of Water Elements could display space movement, and she moved them together without him realizing it. Until the moment the movement was completed, Sui Xiong found that he had moved. The Queen of Water Elements was really powerful!

Sui Xiong frowned and looked around. It was easy to find hundreds of magic spells and arrays in the whirlpool. It was obvious that this was carefully constructed by the Queen of Water Elements.

Unknowingly, he had fallen into a trap.

“Hey! What is the meaning of this?” He was worried and spoke less politely than before.

There was no doubt that this environment was particularly beneficial to the Queen of Water Elements, and that was why she moved Sui Xiong here. She probably had the idea of fighting with Sui Xiong if she could not persuade him.

Sui Xiong also agreed to start fighting when he could not persuade the other side. But he preferred to take a different position before talking. If one’s position was contrary to his, he would stop talking nonsense and fight with them directly.

Looking at the Queen of Water Elements, he was afraid that the Queen of Water Elements would probably fight with him instead of laughing and drinking together.

In that case, he did not need to waste any more time; it was better for him to attack first!

The Queen of Water Elements clearly sensed the murderous look on Sui Xiong’s face. She smiled and slowly changed into an ice-sculptured noblewoman with a golden crown on her head. She changed into the “Ice Queen” that was the most familiar image among gods.

“Well, now that you are here, we can talk with each other more easily.” The Queen of Water Elements in the image of the Ice Queen was more talkative and gentle. “Put your murderous look away. I did not come to fight with you.”

“Then why did you move me here?” Sui Xiong did not relax his vigilance.

“It’s just to hide from other people’s eyes,” the Queen of Water Elements laughed and said. “After we finish talking, I’ll blow up the whole place and destroy the evidence.”

Blow it up? Destroy the evidence?

Sui Xiong frowned. His intuition told him that the next thing that the Queen of Water Elements was going to talk about was a bit unusual.

“Can I not listen?” he asked. “To tell you the truth, I’m not really interested in what you want to talk about.”

“I know that you are not interested, but I’m interested in talking about it,” the Queen of Water Elements smiled and said. “You can choose to kill my incarnation and blow up my whirlpool to leave, or you can choose to listen to me. It’s your choice.”

Sui Xiong suddenly felt helpless. He did not think that a Ruler of Four Elements, such a top deity, would play such a roguish trick.

However, the trick hit him on the spot, and his personality decided that he could not fight over such a thing.

There was no hatred between Sui Xiong and the Queen of Water Elements, and the behavior of the Queen of Water Elements did not violate his bottom line. Strictly speaking, he was still a little guilty... In that case, it would be really embarrassing to fight with the Queen of Water Elements.

So it seemed that he had no choice.
