Chapter 648: Chapter 425: The Hidden Secrets of All Gods_2
Many strategy players could only deduce the attitudes and decisions of the gods and the Church of the Gods from the plots that had already unfolded.
Even Mr. Stephens, a Legendary Arcanist, was unaware of these matters, as his relationship with the Church of the Gods was fairly ordinary, and the Church would not share such hidden information regarding gods that exist above the world.
Especially the upheavals within the Elf God System, had the Elf Main God Correlon once sought to tap into the power of the Bottomless Abyss?
Could this be related to the future downfall of Correlon?
Lis frowned, he had not expected to receive such important intel from Lord Burns.
From what Lord Burns said, the influence of all gods on the Gaia World had fallen to its lowest, it was no wonder that the Church of the Gods was no longer meddling in the affairs of the Human Kingdoms as often as in the past.
This indirectly led to the chaotic battles among the many Human Kingdoms on the Fanor Continent.
However, for Lis, this was not necessarily bad news, as he was always concerned that one day he might become the target of a malevolent deity.
Naturally, the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts does not count, as his hatred for Lis was almost welded in place.
All thanks to restrictions the Gaia Main World imposed on those deities.
As the core of the world group, the Gaia World possesses a vast strength that is more formidable than all the surrounding minor worlds and planes combined, even the Bottomless Abyss cannot compare.
Therefore, deities, those extraordinary existences, could be born within the Gaia World, and the power of the gods also depended on the original force of the Gaia World.
This caused the gods to be able to display their power in other regions or planes, but within the Gaia World, they must abide by the rules of the world.
Perhaps to protect the order and operation of the Main World, there are significant restrictions on the powers of deities when they wish to descend into the Main World, especially as the deities themselves would be greatly bound by the Gaia World.
If the strengths of deities in the Divine Country were at their peak, then the deities’ True Bodies descending into the Main World would be at their weakest, as most legendary tales of deicide sung by minstrels occurred within the Gaia Main World.
Therefore, the deities do not choose to descend into the Gaia World in their True Form unless absolutely necessary.
However, the Gaia Main World is also extremely important to the gods, as they need to gain more believers to strengthen themselves, so they would prefer to descend in avatars instead.
So, even though the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts detests Lis, he doesn’t care too much about him.
The matters considered by a deity of a certain tier are too many; to him, Lis is at most just a slightly bigger ant at the moment, and not worthy of descending in an avatar to kill him.
Moreover, the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts himself faces many threats, such as those other deities who compete with him for the Divine Position of ‘Fear’.
However, for Lis, it is more critical to seize this rare opportunity.
Now that the gods are unable to truly understand more about what’s happening in the Gaia World, this has greatly increased the security for Lis.
He fears nothing else but the intervention of such extraordinary existences.
Lis, who owns the system, believes that he too will be able to ascend to higher tiers in the future, but for now, he is undoubtedly incapable of resisting them.
“Thank you, Lord Burns,”
Lis said respectfully as he saluted the exquisite coffin in front of him.
Although Lord Burns did not have much understanding of the Elf Royal Court or the Elf Kingdom, informing Lis that Benfica worshipped the Evil God Demogorgon, along with the current status of the gods, was already a great gain for him.
And regarding the affairs of the Elf Royal Court, Lis already had some thoughts.
“Go!”
With the sound of Burns’ voice, Lis and Angela left the room.
Tap~ Tap~
After Lis and the other left the room, the light tapping of metal sounded in the room.
“Demogorgon…”
“Elf Royal Court…”
“Interesting, interesting.”
“Are those long-eared ones going to suffer a big loss?”
“This is truly… delightful news!”
Lord Burns’s voice seemed to contain a hint of schadenfreude.
“But, how did Lis know…”
Lord Burns’s voice suddenly cut off as he remembered the oracle of the Cain ancestor.
“Hey, although Lis indeed has an amazing talent, does the ancestor really need to value him so highly?”
Lord Burns was somewhat curious, a feeling he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
So in the past few days while Lis was in the castle, he had specially allocated some attention to Lis, whose performance of an exponential increase in strength during his level upgrade couldn’t possibly be hidden from his view.
If it were not for Cain ancestor’s admonition and Lis’s own special performance, Lord Burns would not have shared so much information with Lis.
Especially regarding the secrets between deities.
“Forget it, time to sleep.”
“This is no longer the era of the Blood Clan…”
As Lord Burns’s voice fell, the room returned to silence, the thick black current filling the room once again.
…
After resting for a few days at Frost Blood Castle and fully recovering, he left with Angela.
Even without Lord Burns’s demand, Angela was quite willing to stay by Lis’s side.
Lis naturally liked having such a strong assistant by his side; Angela was now not only powerful in her own right but also a walking Cain attack trigger device.
He even felt more confident about heading to the Elf Royal Court.
However, Lis and his companions’ current destination was not Acot City. There was still some time before Cecil and the others were due to head to the Elf Royal Court, so there was no rush.
There was still one matter Lis needed to address.
Strictly speaking, it was a loose end left over from the killing of those high-level vampires in Kate City.
Within an important fortress that connects Berlin Kingdom with the Northern Human Kingdom.
Kosain Fortress!
This towering fortress lay between the mountains like a steel beast, its back against the Berlin Kingdom’s undulating mountains, seemingly a natural barrier where the rolling hills end, and to the north of the fortress lay the boundless plains, like a vast green carpet spread across the earth.
In the distance, the sky merged with the horizon, creating a beautiful skyline. On these plains, caravans flowed like rivers, continuously heading north.
Kosain Fortress is a vital passageway from Bolin Kingdom to the north, attracting caravans and travelers from everywhere. They either rode tall horses or drove carts laden with goods, shuttling ceaselessly under the city gates.
Caravans and travelers from the Elf Kingdom and Central Human Kingdom converge here, making it a world where all manners of people mix.
The mottled fortress walls had withstood the weathering of wind, frost, snow, and rain, yet stood solid as ever, each stone seeming to recount the vicissitudes of the ages and the weight of history.
The streets within the fortress were bustling and orderly, filled with various shops and stalls. From delicate fabrics to rugged leather goods, from sweet fruits to spicy seasonings, there was everything one could need. Merchants energetically solicited customers, promoting their goods, while travelers weaved through these shops and stalls, picking out necessities.
In the center of the fortress stood a tall, solid tower. This characteristic building was the symbol of the fortress and the residence of the lord.
At this moment, the city lord of Kosain Fortress stood coldly in his bedroom, and the solid tower beneath his feet did not provide him with any sense of safety.
“Mansa Kosain?”
“Perhaps I should call you the Golden-level Vampire Dick?”
Lis sat on the brown sofa in the room, smiling as he looked at the fortress lord in front of him, though his eyes bore no hint of humor.
Angela stood behind the vampire Dick, the tip of her massive scythe pressing against the location of his heart.
The extreme terror of the Half-divine Scythe’s pressure and Angela’s high-tier Blood Clan aura completely suppressed the Golden-level Vampire in place, offering him no chance to resist as he was subdued.
“Now, I have some questions I’d like to ask you.”
“Answer well, understand?”
Lis’s voice rang in Dick’s ear, causing his already pale complexion to blanch further.
