Chapter 372
It didn’t matter in the end.
“Since I found the dog, I have no business here.”
Lee Gun had found his target. So he dragged Anubis away by the back of his neck.
This surprised Anubis. “I told you the information! Shouldn’t that be enough?! Where are you taking me?”
“Where else? We’re going home.”
“
!”
Since Lee Gun had the Rule Book now, he could stay on the earth. It wouldn’t be a problem. He just had to exit through the departure gate.
‘A bunch of scrubs came to my land to play.’
However, he had way too many gods who harbored grudges against him to use the departure gate. Then some wanted his Achievements, 600%-faith Construct, etc.
A lot of annoying beings were out there. So Lee Gun wanted to use the underworld path, which was the best route to sneak himself out of the Divine world.
‘Taeksoo was dragged away using this path.’
It was the shortest route where the other gods couldn’t chase after them.
“Let’s go to the underworld. You said you’ll guide me.”
Flustered, Anubis yelled, “I can guide you! However, only souls can traverse that route!”
In other words, one had to separate the body and soul if one wanted to use this route. That was why the other gods wouldn’t be able to chase after them.
“So what?”
“What do you mean? Do you plan on throwing away the body of a fighting-type god? Do you plan on possessing the body of a colonist?” Did he think a fighting-type god was something anyone could become?
‘Among the countless gods, I can count the fighting-type gods with my fingers!’
Despite his words, Lee Gun smirked. “Yup. I don’t really care. I’m a god of Creation. I just have to copy the body and remake it.”
“?!”
The dismayed Anubis was dragged away.
‘Shit! At this rate, he’ll really go back to the earth.’
He had to keep Lee Gun in place until Set arrived, as Set was a fighting-type god, like Lee Gun!
In the end, Anubis shouted in a last-ditch effort, “I won’t go, bastard! Why would I follow a penniless beggar Zodiac like you when I can go to Kunlun?”
“!”
“If you want me, come back to me after you become as big as Kunlun!”
Lee Gun looked at Anubis as if the god was speaking nonsense, but the other Constructs just nodded as though Anubis’s statement wasn’t out of line.
“Kunlun is the richest faction in the Divine world.”
“There is a reason the Zodiac of the Aries temple used to be under Kunlun. Aries was famous as the god of wealth. He was called the Jade Emperor
”
Kunlun was a fantasy paradise that possessed many precious items. However, that had nothing to do with Lee Gun.
When he showed indifference, Anubis quickly whispered to him, “Kunlun’s Lotus Land has the special Heavenly Peach!”
“I’d rather eat chicken than fruit.”
“That’s not it! Heavenly Peach is a fruit that has so much power of Life that it can create a Divine status of Life!”
“!”
“If you can obtain it, you can freely use your ultimate skill! Isn’t the prerequisite needed to activate Cycle really troublesome?”
Lee Gun furrowed his brow. Anubis wasn’t wrong. Why?
‘The EXP of both Life and Death have to be 100%.’
What was his current status right now?
[Death EXP: 500%]
[Life EXP: 0.00004%]
To raise the Divine status of Death, Lee Gun merely had to destroy everything. It coincided with what he was already doing. However, Life was in the dumpster.
To raise Life, Lee Gun had to be pure in doing good deeds(?) for other people. No, he had to act as a healer.
This was why he tried to repeatedly kill and revive his foes, but it was considered cheating. It had failed to raise the EXP. Maybe, it was because he had bad intentions(?) behind his actions.
The discrepancy in EXP was staggering. It meant that Lee Gun didn’t do many good deeds. However, the Constructs took it in stride.
“Well, the Divine status of Life is something kind and righteous gods develop.”
“Master being able to acquire it is a miracle in the first place.”
“What did you just say??”
Thankfully, he was able to kill a monarch such as Time and raised his Life EXP. However, such an opponent was rare.
As if he could read Lee Gun’s inner thoughts, Anubis whispered to Lee Gun, “At this rate, you won’t be able to use Cycle in a couple hundred years, right? Will you be able to fight off the Zodiacs who covet the earth in the meantime?”
“
” Lee Gun furrowed his brows.
According to Anubis, he would be better off going to Kunlun instead of going straight to the earth.
He had to acquire the peach.
Anubis smirked as he tempted Lee Gun.
‘Of course, I’ll steal the peach from him.’
The peach was a treasure coveted by gods of other factions. If Anubis returned to Ennead with it, he would receive a favorable evaluation.
Masking his true intentions, Anubis continued, “Anyway, you should act as if you’re handing me over to Kunlun. You can use that opportunity to acquire Kunlun’s peach. Wouldn't that be more beneficial for you?”
“You said it’s the treasure of the Great Spirit. Do you really think you are worth that much?”
At that moment

“Well, we can’t let you view the peach if you’re willing to pay such a price.”
“!”
Lee Gun turned his head when the employees of the store spoke up. His eyes widened.
“!”
The employees who had cute appearances until a moment ago had changed. Their small figures had turned large. Their cute eyes and faces had turned fiendish.
Lee Gun wondered who they were, but he found it out soon.
“Master! This is bad! They are the gods directly under the Great Spirit of Kunlun!”
“They aren’t the low-rank gods supposed to be in charge of the pawnshop!”
“!”
As those words rang out, their surroundings changed.
[You have entered the territory of Kunlun.]
He had thought this was the pawnshop run by civil servants at the Neutral Zone. Yet the sign changed. It turned into a building belonging to the Great Spirit of Kunlun.
Lee Gun furrowed his brows when he saw the familiar door plate.
‘They were the first ones to successfully bid for Taeksoo.’
It was as he had expected.
“You stole Pushover, whom our young lady successfully bid for. You also put the Great Spirit’s respected elder in such a state. Don’t tell me you already forgot about that.”
This meant that they had pretended to be employees of the pawnshop and prepared a trap for him. That wasn’t the only problem.
“Master! They are Gluttony spirits, who are capable of eating gods!”
“!”
They weren’t like Cluders, but they were a race of beings that the Divine world considered a subject of nightmares!
Lee Gun immediately tried to use his ability of Death.
[Warning! Your abilities don’t work against them.]
[The Peach Blossom Spring barrier has been placed over the corresponding space.]
[Peach Blossom Spring is peaceful, and there are no conflicts. Its unique barrier ability disarms your abilities.]
[All weapons will be disarmed.]
“!”
Lee Gun couldn’t activate his powers.
Anubis, who was caught, screamed. “Shit! I always wondered why they had the guts to engage in business with other gods!”
While putting Anubis aside, the employees had known Lee Gun was a Zodiac, yet they had asked for interest from Lee Gun. They had been unafraid for some odd reason.
‘Since Kunlun can conduct business with other gods using them, they must be extraordinary!’
The gods of Kunlun, who had been hiding their powers using the power of their Great Spirit, revealed their teeth.
“Master— Kuhk!!”
When a Construct was swallowed first, Anubis clenched his eyes shut. The Gluttony spirits would never let the Construct go once they ate it.
‘That bastard is done—’
Pooh-hahk!!!
“!”
Lee Gun summoned Heaven’s Punishment and split the enemy into two. The swallowed Construct fell out of the stomach.
“Kuhk! Master
 I apologize
”
“It’s fine if you’re safe.”
The Gluttony spirits didn’t react to the death of their comrade. They seemed stunned that Lee Gun had summoned Heaven’s Punishment.
“Wait a moment. What is that Divine weapon
!”
The eyes of the Gluttony spirits turned round, and they spoke some unexpected words.
“If you give us that weapon, we’ll give you the interest on top of returning the pillar god of Ennead.”
“In fact, we’ll give you the Constructs that we acquired.”
Their words angered Anubis. It was said that Kunlun had the most discerning eye in the Divine world. If they were reacting like this, that item had to have incredible value. Its worth was beyond imagination, yet

“My Divine status is worth less than a weapon? Moreover, I’m the addon??!”
“Shut up before we eat you, damn puppy!”
Kunlun’s Gluttony spirits rushed toward Lee Gun, but Lee Gun suddenly unsummoned Heaven’s Punishment. This surprised his Constructs.
“Master! Why!”
The reason he put away Heaven’s Punishment was simple.
[The saliva of the Gluttony spirits has taken off the outer coating of Heaven's Punishment.]
[Their sticky blood has dulled the blade a little.]
[Durability is going down quickly.]
Since they were Gluttony spirits, their abilities were specialized toward neutralizing gods. Lee Gun wouldn’t destroy the blameless Heaven’s Punishment because of them.
‘It hurts my child.’
This was why he called forth a substitute. “Come out, Club! Get rid of them all!”
He called forth the strongest defender amongst his Constructs, the fighting-type god.
[Club (Hercules) is unconscious.]
[He needs to be resuscitated.]
“!”
Hercules had been called forth, but he came out looking like a corpse.
This left Lee Gun dumbfounded. It seemed Hercules had been poisoned. His body had stiffened.
When Lee Gun looked at his Constructs with an inquiring gaze, they seemed embarrassed.
“H-he tried to ask for the Scorpio Saint’s name, so he got beaten up
”
When Lee Gun heard that Hercules had asked for Hailey’s name, he became oddly angry and clicked his tongue. “I guess it can’t be helped.”
“Yes. Master should use your Divine weapon to—”
Bbah-gahk!!!
Lee Gun grabbed Hercules’s leg. He used Hercules like a club as he killed his enemies.
Bbah-gahk! Bbah-gahk!
The power of the Gluttony spirits damaged Hercules’s body, but Lee Gun didn’t even blink an eye.
“His body is sturdier than mine, so he won’t die.”
“?!”
It was to be expected of a god that boasted of having the strongest body.
Lee Gun turned around, and his eyes flashed as if he had a thought.
‘Kunlun’s peach
’
“Become food for our Great Spirit!”
When many Gluttony spirits rushed him at once, Lee Gun got annoyed. He used one of his special skills.
[Get Hit Instead of Me (1 star)]
Suddenly, Sagittarius and Hugo fell in front of Lee Gun.
“What the hell? This ability is
”
“Damn it! Where the hell did he summon me— Ahhhk!!!”
The Gluttony spirits revealed their teeth. Sagittarius and Hugo scrambled when they saw the spirits.
“Wait a moment. Gluttony spirits?! Kunlun?!”
Realizing what was going on, Hugo immediately brought out his bow. He prepared to aim the bow. “Gun! I’m going to get rid of them in one shot, so lure them
”
When he turned his head, however, the sight angered him. Lee Gun was running away. It seemed he was letting Sagittarius and Hugo stop them.
Nevertheless, Hugo shrugged it off as he activated his ability.
[Vision of Beauty (5 star)]
Kwahng!!
“Ahhhk!!”
When the arrows hit them, the Gluttony spirits turned into allied dolls (Lee Gun). Their attacks had stopped, but another problem had cropped up.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
“!”
Although they had their appearance turned into that of the female version of Lee Gun, their instincts as Gluttony spirits seemed to have remained. They were trying to exit the pawnshop to eat the other gods.
Sagittarius blanched. “Hey, servant! Won’t they indiscriminately earth the other gods?”
“Who cares?”
“They are the underlings of Kunlun’s Great Spirit! If we don’t return them to normal, we’ll suffer his wrath!”
Hugo didn’t care as he quickly ran away.
Around that time, a being was observing this maelstrom of confusion from the Peach Blossom Spring, the land of the Kunlun faction.
- Run!
We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.
- Ahhhk! Servant! Change them back to normal! Hurry!
The Construct of the Great Spirit furrowed his brow when he saw Lee Gun’s reflection on the pond. “They are a boorish group. Despite being a small Zodiac without Constructs
”
“Should we call up our entire force and chase after that impudent snake god?”
The snake god had messed with an elder treasured by the Great Spirit. He had also interfered in their bid for Pushover.
“Even after getting the successful bid, his younger sister lost Pushover to the snake god. She’s still crying about it.”
“All the Great Spirits of the eight great forces are feeling uncomfortable because of what the snake god did to Olympus.”
“It seems those who do not belong to the eight great forces are chasing after the snake god to acquire his Achievements.”
“Of course, one of the other Great Spirits might get rid of the snake god before that. Maybe, we should
”
On the other hand, the Great Spirit felt different as he watched Lee Gun through the screen. Then, his gaze fell on his subordinates, who had been turned into female versions of Lee Gun.
“Oh. Look at that.”
He suddenly seemed interested.
* * *
“Huhk! Huhk!”
“We barely made it out.”
After exiting the pawnshop, Hugo and Anubis entered a lodging facility within the Neutral zone.
Monsters roamed the nights of the Divine world, so one must be indoors by night. It was why Virgo had rented this place out earlier.
Of course, they had almost been unable to enter this place. The reason was the Lee Gun Gluttony spirits that Hugo had made and released earlier. It was pandemonium out there.
“Ahhhk! Help!”
“Stop— Kuh-hoohk!”
The streets of the Divine world were filled with blood and corpses. That was why the lodging facility was full even before night since a barrier had been placed over it.
Of course, the EXP of the gods being eaten by the Gluttony spirits was funneled toward Hugo and Lee Gun.
This made Anubis beg to be able to follow Lee Gun. He looked at Lee Gun and Hugo in disgust.
‘The Divine world is in a mess thanks to those two.’
As for Sagittarius, he furrowed his brow as he looked at Anubis. “Nephew, are you sure that bringing him despite not paying anything is a good idea? Those bastards at the pawnshop are treasured by the Great Spirit of Kunlun.”
“Who cares? If he causes trouble, I’ll just wreck him.”
“If you continue to act that way
”
Flash!
Suddenly, a golden letter fell in front of Lee Gun.
Sagittarius reared back in shock when he realized the identity of the golden letter. “Look! It’s Kunlun! The Great Spirit has declared war on you!”
Dealing with the other Great Spirits was already a chore. If Kunlun joined in, it would be very troublesome.
‘Kunlun has the most Constructs amongst the factions in the Divine world.’
Their forces were so large that everyone sidestepped them.
Lee Gun furrowed his brows. “Reading your language is annoying. Read it. What does it say inside?”
“What else could it be? Those misers probably—”
Sagittarius’s face crumpled when he opened the letter.
“What is it?”
“I-It is nothing. He’s better off not seeing this letter
”
When Sagittarius avoided his gaze, Lee Gun snatched back the letter. He could get a gist of what was written, and he couldn’t believe his eyes.
[We are willing to overlook that you took the pillar god of Ennead without paying the interest.]
[We won’t ask you to take responsibility for laying hands on the venerated elder at the boat party.]
[If you want, Kunlun will protect Pushover and the Serpent Bearer from all forces.]
[If you want, I will give you a dowry of 100 billion Talents.]
Those words made one wonder if the gods of Kunlun had lost their minds giving such concessions. Though they were making a proposal that the Serpent Bearer couldn’t refuse. However, the problem was the last sentence.
[Except the Serpent Bearer has to become the 13,888th bride of Kunlun’s Great Spirit]
“?????”
When Lee Gun looked for an explanation from Sagittarius, Sagittarius massaged his forehead. “It seems Kunlun’s Great Spirit really liked the female version of Nephew created by the servant.”
“What the hell??”
“That is
 In other words, he’ll pay for you to change your gender using the power of Cycle, and he wants you to marry him
?”
Lee Gun ripped the letter as if it was a crazy suggestion.
Hugo clutched his stomach as he laughed, while Lee Gun’s eyes flashed with murderous intent.
