Book 12, The Descent of the Gods – Chapter 34, Accepting the Heavy Burden

Linley’s sudden departure caused the group of people in Dragonblood Castle to feel rather worried

“Father, is the reason Uncle left just now because he is going to go search for…?” Cena said softly

Although he didn’t finish the words, everyone in the hall understood They, too, suspected that the culprit behind the large-scale appearance of dead cities in the Rohault Eainst another Deity, ould the result be?

“I knowbrother’s teh he doesn’t like to get involved in things that have nothing to do with him, he definitely will not shirk froht Linley’s responsibilities!

Everyone in the hall, Delia included, nodded slightly

Right now, aside from the human Deities in the Necropolis of the Gods, the only human Deities in the Yulan continent were Linley and Desri Linley and Desri, as Deities, stood at the very peak of mankind in this plane

To Linley and Desri, the Yulan continent was their root and foundation!

Their homeland!

Deities froun to wantonly slaughter humans

At a time like this, as Deities, Linley and Desri absolutely had to stand out If even they stayed hidden and only protected themselves…then didn’t that htered freely by those experts who had fled from the Gebados Planar Prison?

“At a time like this, all we can do is rely on Lord Linley and Lord Desri” Cena said softly

In front of Deities, even Saints had to lower their heads Only other Deities such as Linley and Desri were able to hinder the

Linley’s sudden arrival naturally was a source of great joy to Desri’s people Reynolds, as well, hadn’t seen Linley for a long period of tiood chat with Linley, but this tiet involved, allowing Linley and Desri to speak in detail

Within the s could be heard Linley and Desri were seated facing each other

The two of them were currently the two most powerful humans of the Yulan continent plane

“What!!!” Desri suddenly rose to his feet Linley had just started to speak, but Desri was already shocked

Linley’s face was heavy, and he nodded “Right The citizens of htered, and the cities are now dead cities You should know that this happened in the Baruch Empire before as well, but this time, too many cities have died In just a short period of time, the total number of deaths has exceeded a hundred million!”

Desri’s eyes were filled with shock “A hundredwould that take?”

A hundred le town usually had around ten thousand people in it This represented ten thousand small towns

“Linley, what do you think we should do?” Desri looked at Linley

Linley rose to his feet His eyes see with fire His voice couldn’t help but turn clear and loud “What we should do? Desri, regardless of what happens between the Empires of the Yulan continent, these are the affairs of our Yulan continent! Internal affairs!”

“The Yulan continent is our root! I definitely will not pere in this sort of wide-scale slaughter here What do they take our place to be? A butchery?”

Linley’s heart was filled with fury

Linley stared at Desri “Desri, are you planning to just hide here?”

Desri’s gaze turned sharp and fierce as well “Linley, what the hell do you think you are saying? Right now, O’Brien and the others are in the Necropolis of the Gods Ast the humans of the Yulan continent, only o Deities are currently present Do you actually think I would hide away in a time like this?”

“A hundred million were killed this time Who kno many more will be killed next time? A hundred million? A billion? The entire Yulan continent only has a population of a few billion Most likely, within a few decades, the entire Yulan continent would become entirely devoid of human life” Desri said in a harsh, serious voice “Linley, there are soood one”

“The Yulan continent is our base I naturally will stand out to defend it”

Desri’s voice was very firhed as well

The two experts now understood what each other was thinking

They actually weren’t afraid of death What they were afraid of was dying like a blade of wild grass, to no purpose whatsoever

To be able to train in the Ele Deitieswills If they set their , even if they died, they would accomplish it If a person had fallen to such straits that even his homeland had beco about it, then that would be a life worse than death

The setting sun shone down upon the fleeing refugees on the desolate road, stretching out their shadows Tattered clothes, dirty and thin faces, eyes filled with both fear as well as hope for the future They worked hard to move towards the north

In mid-air

Linley and Desri, shoulder to shoulder, came to a halt By now, Linley and Desri had entered the borders of the Rohault Eees Perhaps we can get a truer understanding of the situation” Desri said Ever since they had crossed over the border into the Rohault Empire, Linley and Desri’s faces had lost their smiles Their faces were very solemn

The Rohault Empire was in a state of utter chaos

A wind arose, then dispersed Linley and Desri appeared in the rass by the side of that desolate road, then strode frorass onto the road On this road, there were ees Nobody paid attention to Linley and Desri
