Once, I wanted to be a good person

Listening to the suspicion of the Peacock God King, Yuan Gu remained seated high upon the main seat without offering any comment.

He merely gazed ahead with eyes devoid of joy or sorrow, and then said calmly, "I have already sent someone to call for Garo. Whether there’s a problem or not, we’ll know once we ask."

Hearing Yuan Gu’s words, the Peacock God King couldn’t say anything more.

Instead, after speaking about his arrangements, Yuan Gu’s gaze fell upon the Peacock God King, finally resting on the large hole in the Peacock God King’s chest.

He then said lightly, "Peacock, has your Divine Power been depleted to this extent? Even recovering from injuries is difficult?"

At Yuan Gu’s words, a look of embarrassment flashed across the Peacock God King’s face. He honestly replied, "It is indeed somewhat difficult."

"Several consecutive battles and recovery efforts have nearly exhausted the Divine Power I brought to the Real World."

"And the privileges we’ve acquired in this world are too limited; the creatures under our rule don’t acknowledge us, but instead harbor considerable resentment. Thus, replenishing Divine Power through the Power of Laws is very slow."

"Although this wound looks terrifying, I have treated it already, leaving only this external injury. This injury, though it seems horrific, doesn’t actually affect my actions. So, I have refrained from using Divine Power for recovery to conserve energy."

Hearing the Peacock God King’s words, Yuan Gu was momentarily silent.
