Episode 12 – The Descent of the Gods Chapter 33 – The Refugee Wave

Deep in the underground of the Dragonblood Castle. In the miniature dimensional chamber.

Linley sat cross-legged on the ground. On his legs lay the Black Yul Heavy Sword flatly, Linley was now only using his spiritual power to contain and nurture the Black Yul Heavy Sword, and didn’t dare to use his divine power because the Black Yul Heavy Sword was in Linley’s plans. It was waiting for himself to have an Earth God bilocation. Letting the Earth God bilocation use it.

It should be nurtured with earth attribute divine power, and now Linley only had wind attribute divine power in his body.

“Dang!” “Knock!” The strange rhythm of the earth pulsing resounded in Linley’s heart.

Becoming a god plus absorbing twenty million soul essences, nowadays Linley’s earth soul was already extremely strong. The sensing of the earth pulsations was also clearer, and in Linley’s mind. In Linley’s mind… a virtual picture emerged – at the bottom of the earth, there was a strange fluctuation.

Like every fluctuation, it spread out in all directions like ripples on the surface of the water.

From the 64th level of Earth Pulsation to the 32nd level of metamorphosis, Linley had spent three months at first.

But from the earth pulsation 32 weight metamorphosis to 16 weight, Lin Lei is a whole year and three months, this is still Lin Lei soul metamorphosis. After his deduction ability had become over a hundred times stronger.

“If it’s a Saint realm limit state, I’m afraid it’ll take a hundred years. Only then will it be possible to go from the 32nd gravity of earth pulsation. Metamorphose to the 16th gravity.”

Linley didn’t stop at all after breaking through to the 16th gravity and continued to cultivate.

16 weight fusion to 8 weight. It seemed like it only took two and two to fuse. This process was done eight times. It didn’t seem like a large number of times, but the difficulty of each fusion. It all made it difficult for Linley.

In Linley’s mind.

Sixteen virtual black yu heavy swords. Constantly deducing and demonstrating. The speed of the deduction. Every second there were an unknown number of ten thousand changes. All sorts of possibilities were constantly deduced. Afterward, they were compared, and at the same time, they were confirmed with the sensed ‘earth pulsation’ itself to determine the correct direction of deduction.

Complex and vast.

“The fusion to the final earth level is the true earth fluctuation.”

The more he continued to cultivate so painstakingly. Linley sighed in his heart. “But the further one cultivates, the difficulty of each fusion increases tenfold, this metamorphosis from the 16th weight to the 8th weight. I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it without several years of effort.”

A few years, Linley didn’t care.

But Linley had a feeling that 8 weight to 4 weight. It would take even longer. There was also the 4th weight to 2nd weight. As well as the most important earth pulsation 2 weights to one. Achieving true earth pulsation.

That final step. Is a threshold! Such as Desiree and the others, trapped on the threshold for thousands of years.

“Returning to one! I don’t know when. I’ll be able to fully realize the true earth pulsation.”

Linley was looking forward to the ‘earth pulsation’ Upanishad, he had a feeling that once this Upanishad was cultivated, it should be extremely powerful.

Since talking to Muba, Linley had cultivated for another three years.

During the three years. In terms of earth Upanishads, Linley was still stuck at the ’16th level of earth pulsation’. He was working hard to make a breakthrough towards ‘Earth Pulsation 8th gravity’, as for the speed Upanishad. Although there had been some progress. However, compared to the vastness of the Speed Upanishad, this amount of progress was nothing.

“The Martial God was right when he said, assuming that one percent of the elemental laws are comprehended, then one percent of the elemental laws are comprehended. If one tenth of an elemental law is comprehended, then one is a Medium God, and I’m afraid that my current comprehension of the ‘Speed Upanishad’ is only 10% of the Speed Upanishad itself.”

Linley wasn’t impatient in his heart.

He had been cultivating for decades. To be able to achieve such an accomplishment, he should also be content.

There were pathetic people who had been stuck at the threshold of the Saint realm limit for millions of years.

In three years. Linley’s biggest breakthrough was – soul-wise! After absorbing twenty million soul essences. Linley’s soul essence had been upgraded greatly, and his control over the power of the soul had become stronger, especially the power of faith. The power of faith’s nurturing had unexpectedly caused Linley’s spiritual power to be tempered. It was easier to control.

In the past. Linley could only make his soulforce undulate and vibrate. Whereas now, Linley was easily controlling spiritual energy.

For example, soul defense! Linley was able to control a large amount of spiritual energy just like fighting qi. Forming a ‘pulsating defense’. A large amount of spiritual energy formed a spherical diaphragm to protect the sword-shaped soul, and this ‘pulsating defense’ formed by spiritual energy was much stronger than Linley’s past, where he had rigidly allowed his spiritual energy to fend off attacks.

“It’s not that I didn’t want to in the past. Rather, it’s that I didn’t have enough control over my spiritual energy.”

Linley lamented.

A strong soul, as well as a metamorphosis of spiritual energy, brought about changes that were indeed great.

“Brother.”

Walden’s voice rang out as Walden walked into this miniature dimensional chamber.

Linley opened his eyes.

“Brother. The day after tomorrow is the Magnolia Festival.”

Walden narrated. Linley and Delia usually stopped cultivating during the days of the Magnolia Festival. Linley and Delia looked at each other both got up and walked out along with Walden.

The Yulan Festival. It was one of the most significant festivals in the Yulan Continent.

Even during times of war, there would usually be a truce on these days, allowing the warriors and people to enjoy the joys of the Magnolia Festival. But nowadays, the people of the Luo Ao Empire were extremely panicked, agonized, and angry! “Don’t be afraid, child, it’s almost here.”

A thin woman in tattered clothes carried her child on her back. She kept running towards the north.

“Mother. Where’s father?” The child behind her who was only five or six years old still asked with a puzzled face. “Father when will he come to see me ah, I seem to see father.”

The woman couldn’t help her eyes from reddening as she listened. “Good boy. We will see father.”

But the woman knew in her heart that the mother and son would never see their child’s father.

This mother and daughter were not the only ones. There were many others who had also fled. All along the road. Large numbers of people fleeing with their families in tow.

A wave of refugees! Today was January 1, 10044 of the Yulan Calendar, which was supposed to be a day of celebration.

Today, the Baruch Empire and the Luo Ao Empire were facing each other across the Chun Luo River. On the Luo Ao Empire’s side there were two major Saint Domain limit powerhouses, and finally on the Baruch Empire’s side. Although Linley had reached the Divine Realm, he didn’t want to speed up the war process.

The two sides were like this. Naturally, this caused the war to come to a standstill.

For several years now, the armies of the two empires had been facing each other across the Chun Luo River.

“This is still called a war?” On the Baruch Empire’s side. A soldier standing guard whined. “It’s been more than two years since I was transferred to the frontline, but I haven’t killed a single enemy yet. The whole day is just standing guard, training, and resting …… It’s still really boring.”

“That’s not very good, war. That’s going to kill people.”

The older soldiers on the opposite side of the ground clearly disliked war.

“Dying in battle will also be passionate. Days like this, boring to death.”

The younger soldier grumbled. Suddenly he heard noises coming from the opposite bank and hurriedly took a closer look. “Huh. Quickly look. What’s going on across the river?” In fact, the camps of the two major empires were all two or three miles away from the Chun Luo River.

It was these standing guard soldiers that were at the forefront.

“Refugees, so many refugees.”

Both soldiers were shocked.

A large number of refugees, who had bypassed the barracks from other places, were rushing towards a bridge over the Chun Luo River, only for this bridge to be guarded by soldiers from both sides. But there were too many refugees. And there were some strong people among them.

Soon, the refugees rushed over.

In fact. It was also because the soldiers of the two sides didn’t block it with all their might.

“What’s going on?” The two soldiers standing guard were puzzled.

“Never mind. As long as these refugees don’t storm the barracks. Just stay out of it.”

The war was at a standstill for several consecutive years. Making the two empires less wary of each other, the general refugees did not storm the barracks. They wouldn’t be attacked.

It was just a few refugees.

However, from this day onwards, a batch of refugees continuously crossed the boundaries of the two empires and came to Baruch Empire from Roao Empire. The number of people was increasing, which caused the Baruch Empire to pay attention, and when they investigated, they found a situation that shocked them. They discovered something that shocked them.

In the hall of Dragon Blood Castle.

The Magnolia Festival had only passed a few days ago, and Sydney had arrived here from the imperial capital to look for Linley.

“Eldest uncle. Since these past few days, there has been a succession of refugees from that Roao Empire pouring into our empire’s territory, and the sheer number of them is simply shocking.”

Sydney took a deep breath and said. “Most importantly. It’s not just the people of the Roao Empire. Even the soldiers, many of them have fled into our Baruch Empire.”

“Eh? What’s going on?” Linley was puzzled.

The people might feel the danger and flee to their side. But soldiers, that was controlled. Deserters who were caught were subject to death.

“Sydney. Speak properly.”

Walden chimed in.

Sydney nodded, “You could say that. The people, and many soldiers. There was even an exodus in compilations, there were those who fled to our empire and those who fled to the Yulan Empire. The hearts of the people of the entire Luo Ao Empire land have completely collapsed!” “How could this be?” Linley was shocked to hear this sentence.

The people’s hearts collapsed? The entire empire fleeing in all directions? This was simply unheard of.

He himself had just arrived in the Domain of Chaos. When he had first arrived in the Domain of Chaos, the wars in the Domain of Chaos had been constant, but there hadn’t been a massive wave of refugees. Running around, after all, people, to their hometown are generally have feelings. If not no choice, will not choose to leave their hometown.

“Have you found out the situation clearly?” Linley inquired.

“I didn’t find out clearly, but I did find out a little bit, but even that little bit. It already gives me the creeps.”

There was still horror in Sydney’s eyes.

Sini took a deep breath, “According to our investigation, there are many cities in this Luo Ao Empire that have turned into dead cities, and the situation is very similar to the Blue Lion City in our empire back in the day, only this time, the situation is a hundred or a thousand times more serious …… And this should have happened in recent times. ”

“Dead City?” Linley’s first instantly thought of the God-level powerhouse that he had killed.

“Could it be that there’s another God-level powerhouse who cultivates the Rule of Death, absorbing large amounts of souls?” Linley was somewhat skeptical. Sessler had said. This refining of souls was a very difficult thing to do, and it was the intermediate gods. Most of them couldn’t do it either. And Gods who practiced the rule of death. It was rare to find one in the Yulan continent. Now another one appeared? Not to mention the fact that the last one had been killed by himself, if there was another God who practiced the Rule of Death. He wasn’t the least bit worried about Linley dealing with him in the same way? “Or is this murderer behind it. Confident?” Linley was much stronger than he had been more than three years ago.

The soul itself was much stronger. Combined with the ability to form a ‘pulsating defense’ with just the power of his soul, and then protect it with a transparent diaphragm of tattered scales, Linley had a certain amount of confidence when it came to taking on God-level powerhouses.

“Our approximate statistics. A large number of the Luo Ao Empire’s city populations were completely wiped out. The death toll is already nearly 100 million.”

Sydney felt chills even as he spoke this number.

A Blue Lion City with nearly 100,000 people all dead was shuddering.

Now one hundred million? “I’ll look into this matter.”

Linley was furious in his heart. “Those Otherworldly Earth Gods don’t treat us people of the Yulan Continent as people at all. One hundred million? How many people does that take. The entire Luo Ao Empire has a population of only a few hundred million?” Now that the Martial God, High Priestess, and the others were absent. The human society of the Yulan Continent. It was also just Linley and Desiree, two God-level powerhouses, and the Yulan Continent realm. It was their terrestrial homeland! Could Linley tolerate those other-dimensional powerhouses slaughtering them so freely? “I’m going out.”

Linley couldn’t stay any longer and made a will with Walden and the others. Then he directly flew out of the Dragonblood Castle and headed south.
