"Hm?"
Su Ye's eyes flickered.
The Withered Wood Elder's voice was laced with panic and urgency.
Gone was the calm and collected confidence he'd had when passing on the technique, as if he held all the cards.
This change in attitude sent Su Ye's mind racing.
'The Withered Wood Elder didn't care when I killed the Shadow-Binding Incarnation, but... he got anxious the moment I converted the Shadow-Binding Divinity into Creation Points?'
'Does the Withered Wood Elder place great importance on divinity?'
'That doesn't seem right... He had no reaction when I took out the divinity of gods like the Jade Phoenix and the Thunder Axe.'
'So... is it the divinity extracted from Divine Incarnations that fall *within* this God's Domain that's so important to him?'
As his thoughts turned, Su Ye formed a hypothesis.
The moment he arrived at this conclusion, the corners of Su Ye's mouth curled up.
His smile held a cryptic meaning.
