210: Chapter 210 Boredom Makes Me Happy

After a good night's rest, Mad Dog came to pick him up by car the next morning.

The two headed straight for The Cathedral and entered the Hall of Divine Fire together under the watchful eyes of the Four Great Bishops.

The aura of madness permeating the air was even stronger than yesterday, giving one an urge to scream out loud the moment they entered.

At that moment, the 'High Priest' was encased in a bubble, floating aimlessly in the air, looking extremely bored.

His eyes suddenly regained some spirit when He saw Tang Long and Mad Dog enter.

"Little partner! Little partner, you've finally come!"

"The other little partner is here too, how wonderful, how wonderful."

"I'm telling you, occupying Suviman's little doghouse isn't actually that interesting. I spent so much time just clearing the stench out of this nest."

"Suviman is just a coward; he never dares to come and have a fair fight with me."

Hearing their divine lord being insulted, the Four Great Bishops outside felt a sense of shame, but since the one hurling insults was also a god, they could only pretend not to hear.

Mad Dog didn't need to speak directly with the Mad God to sense that He was bored and already thinking about leaving.

However, Tang Long immediately said, "Great God of Wisdom, you have occupied the Red God's stronghold; this is the glory of victory."

"I know you don't actually care, and staying here is indeed quite dull. But if all the gods were to know about this, it might be very interesting."

"And... boredom is actually a form of self-challenge. You surely understand this better than I do."

The Mad God was instantly delighted. "You are absolutely right!"

"Even though I'm bored, I'll stay right here and refuse to leave until I've broadcasted my victory to all the divine realms!"

"I'm just challenging myself here. Boredom makes me happy, haha!"

"Guess how long I can hold out?"

Tang Long struck a thoughtful pose. "If it were just me, I could probably last ten days to half a month. But if it's you, God of Wisdom... it's hard to say. A few years would certainly be no problem. I even suspect your patience might be infinite."

Tang Long's blatant flattery made the Four Great Bishops tremble with fear.

While they hoped the Mad God would stay for a while to stabilize the situation, if this deity never left, what would happen to the Songcheng Sect?

But the Mad God was as happy as if He'd eaten a pistachio, laughing incessantly.

"Little partner, no wonder you could become my friend. There aren't many humans with your kind of wisdom."

"My patience is of course infinite. Besides, if you come to chat with me often, how could I be bored?"

"No! I am challenging myself, I am still very bored! You can't come to chat with me often!"

"Uh... this seems very contradictory..."

Tang Long immediately said, "Divine Lord Kovaf, I will not frequently disturb your great work. Only when I occasionally encounter confusion will I inevitably come to seek your guidance."

The Mad God's eyes lit up, immediately catching his drift.

"Yes, yes, yes! You are a studious and inquisitive child, and I am a wise and generous deity. I will take time out of my busy schedule to guide you."

"That's right, that's exactly how it is."

"You came today because you have questions to ask me, right?"

"Yes, Divine Lord Kovaf."

Tang Long bowed solemnly. "I would like to ask you, how long ago did the first war of the gods against the Alien God occur?"

"When did the minions of the Alien God first appear on the land?"

"Also, the Alien God... is there only one?"

After hearing the questions, the Mad God seemed to have been hit by a pause button, remaining motionless for a long time.

The Four Great Bishops outside were apprehensive, feeling that... Tang Long's questions were indeed too grand. It seemed even the Mad God would have trouble answering, and they feared He might have a fit of madness from the questioning.

Furthermore, he actually dared to call the god by his name; this was simply...

Mad Dog also frowned deeply because he could hear the Mad God's two personas whispering and arguing incessantly.

After a long while, the Mad God gave a heavy snort, causing the entire hall to tremble.

"Although this god's birth was long after the first Holy War, this god is still very clear about that period of history."

"As for the specific year, it should be..."

"Admit it, we actually forgot."

"No! We didn't forget! We heard the Old Ancient God Hadad say it with our own ears. It should be in... uh... that old guy really might not have said it."

"Ahem, it's not that he didn't say it. It's that the gods' calendar is different from humans'; they wouldn't understand even if we told them!"

"Wow! You're right, that's exactly it!"

"The minions of the Alien God appeared on the land during the first Holy War. They were fierce and cruel. It was the Ancient Gods who defeated and purged them. So you wouldn't understand the specific era even if I told you."

"As for the last question, it's simply too naive. Of course there is only one Alien God. Do you even need to ask?"

"Hey, isn't this answer a bit sloppy? I'm afraid there isn't just one Alien God."

"Eh? Isn't it just the one currently devouring the sun? Where would a second one come from?"

"You forgot again. During one Holy War, the one devouring the sun was deep in sleep, yet another invasion appeared on the land. So we concluded a long time ago that there are at least two Alien Gods."

"How is that possible? If there were two Alien Gods, we would have lost long ago. The Alien Gods would have devoured us all, and then we wouldn't have to be bored anymore."

"If there aren't two, why have we become like this?"

"Are you saying... no, no, we were born this way."

"You mean... they wouldn't understand even if we told them?"

"Exactly, they won't understand."

"But is it okay for us to answer our little partner like this?"

"Our little partner's questions are all so troublesome. If he knows too much, he might end up like us, and that wouldn't be fun anymore."

"Right, our secrets cannot be told to anyone."

"But how do we reply to our little partner?"

"His questions really are troublesome. Let's think about it some more."

"Cough! Little partner, you go back first. This god needs to think carefully about this question. When you come next time, this god will give you an answer."

Tang Long quickly bowed. "I obey your will."

"Hey! Little partner, you promised to preach for us in the world. When will you fulfill that?"

"Starting today, Divine Lord Kovaf! From this day forward, your holy name shall be praised throughout the world!"

Tang Long finished speaking and strode out of the Hall of Divine Fire without looking back.

The main purpose of seeing the Mad God today was to get Him to stay for a few more days.

Presumably, the Mad God usually had no one to talk to. Having someone to chat with was already a significant draw, so it didn't take much effort to make Him stay.

As for those questions, they were merely a secondary objective.

But Tang Long hadn't expected the Mad God to actually provide some shocking answers.

In fact, he had been wondering last night if it was possible that there was more than one Alien God.

Because the behavioral logic of the Alien God seemed to have a massive sense of fragmentation; some things simply didn't make sense.

For instance, those prehistoric game entities didn't feel like they originated from Earth to Tang Long.

But if there was more than one Alien God, although it still wouldn't explain everything, many problems would become logical.

Unexpectedly, the Mad God had truly given him an answer.

There was indeed more than one Alien God, and the reason for the Mad God's insanity was related to this!

This answer undoubtedly brought him one step closer to the truth he sought.
