Episode 12: The Descent of the Gods Chapter 3: Distribution of Treasure
Dragonblood Castle, deep underground in that miniature dimension.
Linley was beside his wife ‘Delia’ as he recounted the scenes that had taken place in the Graveyard of the Gods, and Delia was gripped by the fact that Linley had encountered the ‘Barking Serpent’ in the third level.
Worried about Barker’s uncertainty of life and death, shocked by the terrifying Flame Monarch he had encountered on the sixth level, and trembling at the fact that Linley had almost lost his life to the Mother Emperor’s ‘Rasabelle’ vine-man root.
“Millions of Abyssal Blade Demons!”
Delia was completely shaken as she listened to Linley’s account of the scene of entering the eleventh level, “When we deployed our armies to resist the joint attack of the Illuminati and the Dark Clerics, I’ve seen half a million armies assembled, half a million armies, it’s already a sea of people, it’s boundless.”
“Yes, it was endless.”
Linley couldn’t help but recall in his mind the world-destroying scene when a group of their powerhouses had just emerged from the ground, and nearly a million Abyssal Blade Demons swooped down simultaneously in a sky-covered sky and wielded slashing sword qi. It was that time that the second of the three Six-eyed Golden Geibi brothers died.
“Go on, how did you guys escape, and how did you get the Godhead in that environment.”
Delia said nervously.
Delia knew very well that she was only refining the Godhead right now, and could only be considered as nothing more than a ‘Demigod’, and even the ‘God’s Domain’ was half-baked. The elemental law arcana wouldn’t be utilized much at all. If she had been on the eleventh level of that Graveyard of Gods, I’m afraid she would have been killed by the Abyssal Blade Demons that swarmed around her.
Linley immediately continued on, from a group of powerful people desperately rushing towards that passageway entrance despite everything, to Linley going to block a large number of Abyssal Blade Demons at the last moment. To Linley being hunted down into the ground and comprehending the ‘Speed Upanishad’ in the middle of the ground.
“Whew.”
Only after Linley finished speaking did Delia dare to let out a long sigh of relief.
Delia tilted her head and looked at Linley.
Delia still remembered that Linley, back then, was still a stoic and talented young man in the Ernst Magic Academy, whereas now Linley was a peerless powerhouse capable of traversing millions of Abyssal Blade Demon Lands. Delia couldn’t help but be proud of her husband at the moment.
“What are you looking at?”
Linley laughed.
“Looking at you.”
Delia’s expression at the moment was like that of an innocent girl.
Linley laughed, “By the way, Delia, you said that these three Godheads. What exactly am I supposed to do with them? Those powerful people could have all hinted to me at one time or another, and of course after some lecturing from Lord Beirut, they might change their minds as well.”
Linley also had to admit that in terms of dealing with relationships. Delia was better than himself.
“Linley, you.”
Delia smiled helplessly and shook her head, “You really, I can’t even talk about you. In the Graveyard of the Gods, the humans who made it to the end were Desiree, Olivia, Faun, Rosalie, and Tully Lei five, and among them, the one who had the best relationship with us. Wasn’t it Desiree? And from what Beirut said, that Olivia has high potential!”
“But look, Faun got the Life Source Pearl. Rosalie and Surly Thunder also each got divine artifacts. Instead, Olivia and Desiree got nothing.”
Delia looked at Linley with a smile, “Olivia has great potential. Desiree is on good terms with us, both should be drawn in. But on the contrary, the two of them got nothing.”
Linley opened his mouth. Yet he didn’t know what to say.
“Linley, you’ve changed status, you’re a pillar of our Baruch Empire, and you can’t be too casual in your considerations.”
Delia said, “Look, nowadays, the strongest of the human societies in the Yulan Continent are the O’Brien Empire and the Yulan Empire, because they have Martial Gods and High Priests.”
“An empire can only last long if there are god-level powerhouses.”
“Even if you’re new to the Divine Realm, Linley, I’m afraid it’s still hard for you to compare yourself to the Martial Gods and the others. After all, they’ve been stepping into the divine realm for a long time.”
Linley nodded slightly.
The strength of Martial Gods and High Priests was indeed not something he could speculate on.
Delia sighed, “Desiree himself resides in our Baruch Empire, and since his daughter is married to your good brother Reno, you should naturally draw Desiree to our side and make him a family with us.”
“Of course, pulling others in is one aspect, the most important thing, is still that we are strong ourselves.”
Delia said, “So, I think that out of the three Godly Sigils, one of them should be given to younger brother Walden, or to one of the five Barker brothers.”
“The second Godhead should be for Desiree.”
“As for the third divine lattice, it should be put away for now, in case there is any sudden need. For example, the High Priest and Martial God come over and plead for their disciples to claim the divine lattice. For example, Tirin and Hise are both possible as well, Tirin for his son, and Hise for that Rosalie, both may do so, and having them oblige would be beneficial to us as well.”
Linley’s heart cleared up as he listened to Delia analyze the situation like this.
“Fine, Delia, do as you say.”
Linley nodded.
Delia continued, “Linley, as for the ten divine artifacts you’ve obtained, the three light-red warblades, and the one thousand blade-demon warblades, as I see it, the one thousand blade-demon warblades, for now, let’s keep them. As our empire’s national treasure, after all, each handle is similar to your black Yu heavy sword. And a thousand of them taken out in one go will cause some tremors in the continent.”
Linley nodded.
“The thirteen divine artifacts including the light red battle sword are easy, so let’s just distribute them amongst the family, or gift Desiree one or two as well. It’s good to distribute this little bit of divine artifacts as well.”
Delia said.
Linley smiled, “Fine, but there’s one of these thirteen that you must use.”
“What?”
Delia said doubtfully.
Linley flipped his hand and directly took out the set of divine artifact battle armor from his spatial ring, “Delia, this set of divine artifact battle armor is yours.”
“Eh?”
Delia was stunned, then she even said, “Linley, you’re the pillar of the empire, use this divine artifact battle armor yourself.”
Linley smiled, “It’s not necessary, Delia. First of all, I have my own life source bead, and secondly, when I reach the divine level realm, you should know that the magic ‘Earth Guardian Holy Armor’ can also be cast after reaching the divine level, and by that time, the ‘Divine Guardian Holy Armor’s’ defensive capabilities will absolutely catch up to your Earth Divine Artifact Battle Armor. ”
“Then give it to Walden and the others. I’m refining the Godhead after all.”
Delia said.
Linley shook his head and said, “No need, didn’t you say, three divine grams and one divine lattice, for your own people. After a couple of days, I’ll go and ask Wo if he’s willing to refine the Godhead. If he is willing he can become a god as well, if not, when I finish the last thing I want to do, I will give him the Life Source Pearl.”
“The last thing you want to do?”
Delia was stunned. “Linley, you mean?”
Linley nodded slightly, “This one thing, I’ve been looking forward to for a long time, even though the current me. I’m not a hundred percent sure, but at least they don’t have the ability to injure me either.”
Linley’s eyes also vaguely swept past a hint of a stern aura.
Now that Walden had abdicated, his son ‘Sydney Baruch’ had become the new Emperor of the Baruch Empire.
Upon realizing the news that Linley had returned, Wharton excitedly flew straight back to Dragonblood Castle. Linley’s daughter ‘Sasha’ had also returned, and the five Barker brothers were also gathered here, the people who had followed Linley back then gathered together.
Linley had asked Walden if he was willing to refine his godhood to become a god, after all, nowadays, Walden was already a Saint Realm Dragonblood Warrior. After all, nowadays, Walton was already a Saint Realm Dragonblood Warrior.
However, Walton’s reply left Linley helpless – “Brother, for example, if you give me the Earth Elemental Godhead, after I refine it. Become an Earth System Inferior God. At that time, I want to comprehend the Fire Elemental Laws. Is that okay?”
“No. You become an Earth System Inferior God. The affinity sense for other elements will be minimized, while the earth system aspect sense. On the other hand, it is at its highest. It shouldn’t be possible for an Earth System Inferior God to comprehend the Fire Elemental Laws.”
“Brother, do you have a Fire Elemental Godhead?”
“No.”
“Then I don’t need it.”
Walton’s reply was dry and incomparable, and Walton, who had originally reached the Holy Realm, had also embarked on the path of comprehending the Fire Elemental Laws. Nowadays, although Walden was beginning to comprehend, he really enjoyed comprehending the fire elemental laws.
Linley didn’t say much.
He also knew his brother, because he just loved having his mind in tune with the wind and the earth. Sensing the freedom of the wind, sensing the expansiveness of the earth. Comprehending the Wind Elemental Laws and the Earth Laws was indeed an enjoyment of the mind for Linley.
If someone gave Linley a Fire Elemental Godhead and asked him to refine it, Linley wouldn’t be willing to do it.
Because once he refined the Fire Elemental Godhead, he would directly become a Fire Inferior God. To comprehend the other elemental laws then was something that was nearly impossible.
“Let me become a Fire Inferior God, give up the Earth Upanishad, and give up the Wind Upanishad?”
Linley shook his head.
There was a huge gap between refining a divine lattice to become a god and becoming a god on one’s own.
Linley later asked the five Barker brothers.
While Gates and the four of them still let their earth boss ‘Barker’ refine the Godframe, and Barker just happened to prefer the earth system, Linley gave that earth system lower god Godframe to Barker, who then began his meditation on refining the Godframe.
In the back garden of the Dragonblood Castle.
Four youth-like men were sitting around a round table, talking, laughing, and drinking loudly. The four men in question were none other than – Linley, Reno, Yale, and George.
“All four of us brothers haven’t seen each other for over ten years, come on, let’s all have a toast together.”
Yale laughed and said, the four of them, the four brothers, that is, Yale, who was the weakest in terms of strength nowadays, were all rank seven magicians. They had a lifespan of hundreds of years.
Now they still had young looks.
“Boss Yale, congratulations, you’ve become the president of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.”
Linley smiled.
Being together with his teenage brothers, Linley was also happy beyond measure.
“Haha, oldest, I’m a far cry from you.”
Yale chuckled, then he slapped George on the shoulder, “Old Two, the two of us are now being compared to Old Three and Old Four. Old Three, needless to say, reached the Holy Realm a long time ago. Old Three built that Baruch Empire, from Old Three’s big wedding until now, twenty-four years, right? Twenty-four years, and Old Four, who was a seventh level magician back then, is now a ninth level magician. But what about the two of us?”
George also laughed, “Boss Yale, don’t talk about me, I finally stepped into the eighth level magician realm two years ago. But it’s a step better than you.”
It was now the year 10034 of the Yulan Calendar, the year of Linley’s big wedding in 10010.
Twenty-four years had passed.
Of course in the eyes of a Jedi powerhouse, a retreat was feared to be a hundred years, and decades of time was nothing at all.
“I’m not busy, not enough time to practice. Fortunately, finally reached the seventh level magician realm.”
Yale laughed twice.
George was an important minister of the Yulan Empire, and Yale had to be busy with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, so it was true that he didn’t spend enough effort on cultivation.
“Old Three.”
Yale patted Linley’s shoulder twice, “It’s really interesting enough for people to live to your level. Building a huge empire, becoming the peak powerhouse of the continent, how many hot-blooded teenagers in the Yulan Continent are taking you as a goal right now, those hot-blooded teenagers, just like our four brothers back then!”
The four brothers, Linley, Reynolds, Yale, and George, were all quiet for a moment.
They all recalled their unruly teenage years back then.
Reynolds suddenly smiled and said, “Boss Yale, according to you, you’re now the president of one of the three major chambers of commerce on the Yulan Continent, and you’re rich as hell. You should be satisfied too, huh?”
“It’s not enough, there are two other chambers of commerce.”
Yale’s eyes glowed, “I really want to annex both that ‘Snow Island Chamber of Commerce’ and ‘Gale Chamber of Commerce’, but it’s too difficult. However, difficult is what makes it challenging.”
Linley stood up.
“Right, difficult is what makes it challenging.”
Linley tilted his head back to look at the sky.
The Yulan Continent realm was just a material realm;there were countless realms in this infinite space, and there were even the four supreme realms and the seven god realms.
One was only at the peak of the Yulan Continent.
“Going to the ultimate, peak of cultivation! That would be interesting and challenging.”
Linley had a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.
“But before that, there’s still one more thing to resolve.”
Linley couldn’t help but turn his head to the west, the direction of the Illuminati’s ‘Holy Island’.
Linley still remembered Grandpa Delin’s death, and also remembered the oath he had made back then before leaving Hess City and stepping into the Magical Beast Mountain Range – ‘Illuminati, just wait, one day, I will uproot you, uproot you!’ “Almost, it’s time.”
Linley said silently in his heart.
