Chapter 2136  Winter

It was called the Winter Continent because the Winter God ruled over it. The entire continent was ruled by her and her people of the Winter Court. Not much was known of the Winter God by the general public and Alex didn\'t get to learn much either.

The northern continent was called the Skyswift Continent and had no gods ruling over it. Instead, a royal family ruled over that continent, ones that were descended from someone called Skyswift who had once been a Swift God over 200 thousand years ago.

Alex was surprised to hear a God ruled over part of this world. He hadn\'t expected a god to be a ruler of some sort, but they could be anything now that he thought about it.

"What exactly does it mean to be a Winter god?" Alex asked Grimsight who was explaining the place to him.

"Winter God is the god of Cold, of ice and yin," Grimsight explained.

"Ice?" Alex asked, surprised. "Is there no Water God?" Being a god of Ice was… weird, to say the least. Especially given the fact that Ice was just a sub-element of Water. The issue wasn\'t that one couldn\'t be the god of Ice, but rather if there was one, then was there no god of Water?

After all, if there was a God of Water, then he would have to be the God of Ice too.

Water and Ice were not as different from each other as Wood was from Sound, Wind, and Lightning. All of those would have separate gods and Alex wouldn\'t be confused, but this one did.

"There is the Ocean God," Grimsight said. "He is the god of Water."

"Ocean God?" Alex felt he had heard that name somewhere before. \'Oh right, that tear-shaped crystal,\' he thought. Long ago when he had been trying to enter the army of the Luminance empire in the Western Continent, Bai Jingshen had stopped him and directly taken him to meet the princess.

That was where he had seen the Crystal that was then taken by Bai Jingshen and apparently returned to its rightful place. That artifact had been a legacy artifact, so this Ocean God had to be a different one.

Alex was slightly confused still. "Why is he called the Ocean God and not the Water God?" he asked. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Grimsight shrugged. "I don\'t know, probably because it sounds good? Quite a few of the gods do that, so it\'s probably because simple names do not sound as grand."

Alex couldn\'t argue there. Sky God was a much better name than simply calling the god of Wind and Space. Winter God was a better name than God of Ice and Yin.

Now that he thought about it, \'Winter\' was far enough separated from \'Ocean\' that good wouldn\'t have themselves confused with each other. Maybe that was why they were allowed to keep that title despite sharing attributes of what they were god of with each other.

Alex wondered if there were many other gods with similar titles that had overlapping attributes. He asked Grimsight but was told he didn\'t know a lot of the gods.

"Gods… change frequently. They might have stopped recently, but until recently they changed every so often. Gods that used to exist in the past do not anymore, and new may have come out since the time I stopped participating in the war. I truly cannot answer your questions as I do not know that well either."

"Oh! Do news of Gods not travel the world?" he asked.

"Through the upper circles, yes. But we don\'t count in those," Grimsight said. "You don\'t need to worry about them though. It will be a long time before you even meet one of them."

"He\'s going to meet one in 50 years," Silvermist said as he walked into the room.

"Oh, right. But that\'s not really meeting the God," Grimsight said.

"He\'ll win the whole thing and then meet him," Silvermist said. "Isn\'t that right, disciple?"

"I\'ll do my best, Master," Alex said.

Silvermist laughed. "Senior brother, did you find out when we are to leave?" Snowleaf asked from the side. He had been spending his time with a special sort of object while he was alone, looking through it curiously. It was an object with a large wooden handle with a scoop at the bottom, almost as if a ladle. But surely the man wouldn\'t walk around fascinated by a lade, so it had to be something else. "2 years," Silvermist said. "That Wineweed and his disciple have been staying here for the past 5 years, and they still have 2 more years before they get to leave."

"What a mess," Snowleaf said.

"Is there a reason why we never know when an Interrealm Teleportation formation will leave?" Alex asked. "Given how it is always used approximately 10 years later each time, I assumed the world would be aware of how long one had to wait in each world from each world."

"It\'s not that simple," Grimsight said. "There are reasons for this too."

Alex nodded. "May I ask what the reasons are?"

"There are two main reasons that I know of," Grimsight explained. "Firstly it\'s the Gods."

"Gods?" Alex asked.

"Gods have a special privilege of sort that they can use to leave this world whenever they want to," he said. "If they want to leave before the 10-year resting period is over, they can. And in a lot of cases, it is encouraged as the place they may be heading toward be in need of them."

"That also means that whenever they leave this world, they force the formation to rest for a while longer. They go through another 10 years to wait and that changes the schedules significantly."

"I see," Alex said, thinking about what he had been told. A god could just demand to be allowed to go somewhere whenever they wanted to and the many formation operators of the Interrealm teleportation formation would have to agree.

"What is the second reason?" Alex asked.

Grimsight looked toward Silvermist, seemingly asking for something. Silvermist raised his hand as though giving up.

"You were the one that brought it up to him earlier, so you explain," Silvermist said.

Grimsight sighed. "Fine," he said. "Even if he\'s your disciple, I\'m the one that has to do everything."

"I\'ll teach him Alchemy when we have the time for it."

Grimsight shook his head and turned toward Alex. "Remember what I told to you about earlier, that time moves at a different rate for people in different realms?"

Alex\'s eyes went wide in anticipation and he quickly nodded. "You did say that earlier," he said quickly. "I\'ve been wanting to ask you for an explanation this whole time."

Grimsight gave an awkward smile. "Alright. Listen and try to absorb what I am going to tell you."
