Chapter 1369 - Plane of the Undead
End of the Magic Era
Levis didnât hide his admiration at all. He was not frustrated even though he had failed, which left a good impression on Lin Yun. Lin Yun believed that the Storm Tower would grow even more powerful under his leadership, and that if he didnât die by accident, he would be one of the greatest experts of Noscent.
Danason wasnât as decisive as him. Although he seemed only slower by a little bit, it meant a huge difference for the development of an organization.
Danason couldnât help but ask, âSir Merlin, how are we going to leave this place?â
Everything was already over. All that was left behind was the remains of the mines. Leaving this place was the most important thing.
Lin Yun pointed at the little beastman, who was sound asleep next to Xiubanâs leg.
âOur chance to leave this place depends on her. As I said, that god didnât plan to be reborn, but to be resurrected. She made so many preparations that even if anyone discovered the gigantic egg, the space would still be locked up, preventing anyone from leaving.
âYou mustâve realized that you cannot cast summoning spells or open your Demiplane. Every method that may let you break away from this place is forbidden. You might not see it here, but this place has been surrounded by the gray mistâ¦â
After Lin Yun said that, Danasonâs and Leviâs expression changed. They had seen with their own eyes how terrifying the gray mist was. The faceless monster that they couldnât kill was turned into ashes when it touched the gray mist. They didnât think they could travel through.
If the god hadnât been forced to be reborn, they wouldâve been trapped here until the god was fully resurrected, even if they didnât kill each other.
The god had spent so much strength on resurrection. It was not hard to predict that their ending wouldnât have been pleasant after the god resurrected himself.
Lin Yun didnât explain how the little beastman appeared. He let them think that it was part of his plan, which was so much better than a pleasant surprise. At the very least, those two guys had been completely awed. For their own safety, they even killed the mages of the Holy Light Alliance to prove their sincerity.
Lin Yun looked at Xiuban from a distance. Xiubanâs face was still stiff, and he didnât dare to make any movement. He was frightened whenever the little beastman smacked her lips, wondering if she would burp again.
If she could kill a level-5 Heaven Rank mage with a burp, nobody would feel surprised even if she did anything else unbelievable. After all, she was a reborn god.
How many years had it been since a god was reborn in Noscent? It had never happened ever since the Third Dynasty. There were only reborn gods in the Nesser Dynasty, but all of them were killed by the pure-blood elves and the Chromatic Dragons after they were reborn. Those people didnât want to see another god.
In this age, the overall strength of the world could not endure the power of a god, which was absolutely unstoppable.
âXiuban, no need to be so nervous. Youâre the little beastmanâs blood relative. She carries your bloodline. No need to worry that sheâll kill youâ¦â
Xiuban was almost weeping. He stood there stiffly.
âSir Merlin, do something! I donât want to die in the hands of a little beastman. My eyes wonât close in death if Iâm to be killed by a little beastmanâ¦â
âIâll compensate for all the Health Potions you lost.â
âOh?â
Hearing that Lin Yun would compensate for all the Health Potions he lost, Xiuban was so delighted that he forgot his current situation. He looked at the little beastman, and found her much more agreeable.
âSir Merlin, just now, I lost more than 50, no, 60 bottles of Health Potions. All of them were personally made by you. You voluntarily said that you would compensate for them; I didnât ask for anything!â
All of Enderfaâs three faces rolled their eyes, and mumbled, âDamn it, heâs just as stupid as beforeâ¦â
Lin Yun narrowed his eyes and smiled. Then, he simply offered 100 bottles of Health Potions to Xiuban.
âThe rest will be her snacks.â
Xiuban grinned. Forgetting that there was a little beastman clinging to him like a koala, he stowed away the 100 bottles of Health Potions at an astonishing speed. Then, he generously gave one to the little beastman.
The little beastman, who was sound asleep, sniffed, and seemed to have smelled the fragrance of the Health Potions. The pure power of vitality in the potion was the best milk for her. She opened her eyes, and rubbed them with one hand. With her legs wrapping around Xiubanâs, she grabbed the bottle of Health Potion with the other hand, and bit apart the cover. In the end, she swallowed all the potion.
The bottle of the potion was then swallowed again by the kid, who obviously had a great stomachâ¦
After swallowing a bottle of Health Potion, the little beastman searched Xiuban again, and grabbed a bottle of Health Potion that he had been hiding. She soon ate up all the potion again.
It was not until she had almost 10 bottles that the kid finally stopped, and grinned at Xiuban.
âDamn it, Iâve saved them for years, but your stomach is clearly as good as mine. Have some roast meat.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiuban felt sorry for the Health Potions. He gave a roast leg that was 1.5 meters long to the little beastman. The latter didnât refuse it. She fixated herself on Xiubanâs leg, and held the leg that was even longer than herself, chewing with grease all over her face.
In only five minutes, the little beastman had eaten up the entire roast leg, without even leaving the bone. She had chewed the roast leg and swallowed it. Her teeth were truly sharpâ¦
Xiuban grinned in delight.
âNot bad, not bad. A good appetite is a bliss. You cannot be as strong as me unless your stomach is as big as mineâ¦â
Xiuban grinned and bragged about himself. All the other peopleâs eyes were twitching. The little beastman seemed no older than 10, and she was quite slim, yet she had eaten up the roast leg that was multiple times bigger than herself in only several minutes. Xiuban was the only person who found it normal. The other people all had cold sweat all over.
âNot bad, not bad. A good appetite is a bliss. You cannot be as strong as me unless your stomach is as big as mineâ¦â
After having enough food, the little beastman imitated Xiubanâs expression, and repeated what Xiuban said. It seemed that she picked up Xiubanâs language very easily.
Xiuban extended his hand, and wiped the grease off the little beastmanâs face. He then took out a bunch of other food, and gave it to the little beastman.
âKeep eating if youâre not full. Donât imitate me.â
The little beastman grinned.
âMom, Iâm not imitating youâ¦â
Xiuban couldnât have looked more awful when he heard the way she called him.
âDonât call me mom. Call me dad. Got it? Dad.â
âWhy do you want me to call Mom dad? Mom is momâ¦â
âYou must call me dad, not mom!â
Enderfa extended three hands and covered all of his three faces. Danason and Levis wore weird expressions too. They had no idea why this cute-looking beastman could be so brutal a moment ago.
Lin Yun watched for a moment, and thought that he was probably safe. Then, he slowly approached with a bottle of special Health Potion, which was as powerful as the Limb Regeneration of the holy light mages. Also, it was much more effective than the holy light spell. It didnât have any side effects, and wouldnât exhaust vitality.
The little beastman sniffed, and looked at Lin Yun vigilantly. She bared her tiny fangs like Xiuban always did. Xiuban affectionately stared at the Health Potion that Lin Yun was holding. He had wanted it for a long time, but never had the chance to keep it.
Xiuban could never have enough of those lifesaving potionsâ¦
When Xiuban wondered whether he should accept the bottle, and gave a worse bottle of potion to the little beastman, the little beastman extended her arm, and Lin Yunâs bottle was gone. She then bit the bottle, and swallowed the Health Potion before she ate the bottle of the potion as usual.
Having been given delicious food, the little beastman withdrew her tusks, and became a cute beastman again.
âKid, let me ask you something. Do you remember your past?â
The little beastman ignored Lin Yun. She held onto Xiubanâs leg, and wouldnât let go. Xiuban then petted her.
âHurry up. Answer Sir Merlinâs questions. If you do, Sir Merlin will give you a lot of food. There are plenty of roast legs like the one you ate just nowâ¦â
The little beastman didnât nod until Xiuban gave an instruction.
âOnly a little bit. Most of my memories were lost in the unexpected rebirth.â
Lin Yun nodded. He wasnât really surprised. It was obvious that the little beastman didnât remember much about the 73rd God, or she wouldnât have been so friendly to talk to. She was already a new individual, not a reborn god.
It was very important to find out whether she kept her memories.
âWhatâs the truth and the key of the destruction?â Lin Yun asked the most critical question. Noscent endured three destructions, and would be completely destroyed. Everything seemed to be arranged. There was clearly a mastermind who pushed everything. The 73rd Godâs destruction was certainly because he knew something.
It had to be noted that the 73rd God had never been reborn successfully in history. There were only some brief descriptions of the 73rd God.
It seemed that the 73rd God wasnât resurrected successfully in this place at all. If Lin Yun and Xiuban werenât here, who stopped the 73rd God from resurrecting?
Whoever stopped the 73rd God from resurrecting didnât leave any leads. Why? Who did it exactly?
Even if Lin Yun hadnât come, someone would surely arrive, and stop the 73rd God from resurrecting, or even appearing in this world at all. The 73rd God would never be found in the tens of thousands of years to come.
Then, there could only be one conclusion. The 73rd God had been killed before resurrection. Not every expert who had ignited the God Fire was capable of doing that. Also, based on Lin Yunâs speculation, the 73rd God would be resurrected in 1,000 years, but no formidable experts would appear during those 1,000 years.
So, the answer was obvious. The eye that had been hiding in the darkness came out, and killed the 73rd God. Only the mastermind that had wreaked havoc in Noscent again and again couldâve done that.
Hearing Lin Yunâs question, the little beastman cried without thinking, emitting ferocity in her eyes.
âThe Plane of the Undead.â
After crying that aloud, the little beastman seemed to be at a loss.
Lin Yun frowned. The Plane of the Undead? Was the truth of the destruction in the Plane of the Undead? Or was the key in the Plane of the Undead
âIs the truth of destruction in the Plane of the Undead? Or is the key there? Or there are important leads in the Plane of the Undead?â
The little beastman shook her head.
âI donât know. I only remember that I must go to the Plane of the Undead to find the truth. Thatâs the most important place. I donât remember anything else.â
Lin Yun shook his head, and didnât ask another question. It was good enough that he had a direction to work in. However, he was still a bit surprised.
It was impossible that the mastermind was in the Plane of the Undead. Noscent would conquer the Plane of the Undead. If the mastermind belonged to the Plane of the Undead, it would never let Noscent conquer it.
When a plane was conquered, the origin of the plane would be affected. The Plane of the Undead was one of the ultimate planes. Conquering the Plane of the Undead would bring more returns to Noscent than conquering hundreds of normal planes would.
When a plane was conquered, the origin of the plane would inevitably be shaken. When the experts of Noscent left Noscentâs mark on the origin of the plane, the plane would be attached to Noscent, which would benefit Noscentâs own origin.
In the future, when Noscent was running out of mana, many experts would try to conquer the ultimate planes, including the Plane of the Undead. If they succeeded, the decline of mana in Noscent would be postponed by more than 100,000 years, even if it couldnât be resolved just yet. The mages would have plenty of time to figure out a solution.
However, after countless planes were conquered, Noscent was unable to suppress them when it ran out of mana and its experts died. It was impossible to conquer the ultimate planes.
In the end, they could only build an incomplete Shelter Tower to buy themselves more time. Unfortunately, as the origin of the world was drained, the stronger a person was, the faster they would die. The vicious cycle couldnât be broken. Everybody had to wait for their doom.
Lin Yun had considered the Plane of the Undead, but he ruled out the possibility immediately. Of all the ultimate planes, the Plane of the Undead was the only one that had been conquered more than once.
But now that the little beastman had put it that way, he had to go to the Plane of the Undead, and look for the truth. Even if the truth werenât there, he would surely find critical leads.
Danason and Levis were both befuddled. They had no idea what Lin Yun and the little beastman were talking about, but they did hear the Plane of the Undead and destruction.
âSir Merlin, whatâs going on? Destruction and the Plane of the Undead? Donât hesitate to ask me if you need my help.â
Levis voluntarily offered a hand. He had every reason to be curious. Whatever was involved with the Plane of the Undead and related to destruction couldnât be simple. Remembering Agalon the Great Astrologian, Levis believed that Lin Yun was investigating the matter under the Great Astrologianâs instruction.
Some people even believed that Agalon was the strongest man in the Odin Kingdom. Nothing that such a man wanted to investigate could be simple.
Lin Yun didnât explain in detail. He simply introduced briefly.
âItâs related to a few destroyed eras that Iâm interested in.â
Lin Yun didnât explain any further, but Levis understood.
Just as I expected, Agalon the Great Astrologian is interested in the matter. Sir Agalon seems to have been studying the subject for a long time. He certainly knew what was in this place. He sent Mafa Merlin here, not caring about the reborn godâ¦
Mafa Merlin is absolutely Sir Agalonâs heir. Also, only a man as talented as Mafa Merlin is likely to be appreciated by Sir Agalonâ¦
Good thing that I didnât offend him. Our relationship wasnât terrible, either. After I go back, Iâll ask the Storm Tower to further cooperate with the Gilded Rose. Itâs possible we can work with the Starry Sky College in the future.
The Starry Sky College has three Saint Alchemists, or four, counting Sir Agalon. Mafa Merlin is already as skilled as a Saint Alchemist in terms of alchemy. Very soon, the Starry Sky College will have five Saint Alchemists.
The terrifying new iron warships that Mafa Merlin brought with him must be the latest products of the Starry Sky College. Plane colonization is getting more and more important these days. With those terrifying iron warships, the Starry Sky College will surely have a lot of advantages in the conquestsâ¦
If I make friends with Mafa Merlin, itâs possible that Iâll be able to exchange for those new iron warshipsâ¦
Levis didnât ask any further. He didnât dare to ask any more questions, either. Danason, on the other hand, realized that Lin Yun didnât want to say anything else, so he couldnât ask. They werenât really friends yet. It was already not bad that he could go out aliveâ¦
