Chapter 1369: Plane of the Undead

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Levis didn’t 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 didn’t die by accident, he would be one of the greatest experts of Noscent.

Danason wasn’t 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 couldn’t help but ask, “Sir Merlin, how are we going to leave this place?”

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 Xiuban’s leg.

“Our chance to leave this place depends on her. As I said, that god didn’t 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.

“You must’ve 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 mist…”

After Lin Yun said that, Danason’s and Levi’s expression changed. They had seen with their own eyes how terrifying the gray mist was. The faceless monster that they couldn’t kill was turned into ashes when it touched the gray mist. They didn’t think they could travel through.

If the god hadn’t been forced to be reborn, they would’ve been trapped here until the god was fully resurrected, even if they didn’t kill each other.

The god had spent so much strength on resurrection. It was not hard to predict that their ending wouldn’t have been pleasant after the god resurrected himself.

Lin Yun didn’t 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. Xiuban’s face was still stiff, and he didn’t 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 didn’t 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.

“Xiuban, no need to be so nervous. You’re the little beastman’s blood relative. She carries your bloodline. No need to worry that she’ll kill you…”

Xiuban was almost weeping. He stood there stiffly.

“Sir Merlin, do something! I don’t want to die in the hands of a little beastman. My eyes won’t close in death if I’m to be killed by a little beastman…”

“I’ll compensate for all the Health Potions you lost.”

“Oh?”

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.

“Sir 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 didn’t ask for anything!”

All of Enderfa’s three faces rolled their eyes, and mumbled, “Damn it, he’s just as stupid as before…”

Lin Yun narrowed his eyes and smiled. Then, he simply offered 100 bottles of Health Potions to Xiuban.

“The rest will be her snacks.”

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 Xiuban’s, 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 stomach…

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.

“Damn it, I’ve saved them for years, but your stomach is clearly as good as mine. Have some roast meat.”

Xiuban felt sorry for the Health Potions. He gave a roast leg that was 1.5 meters long to the little beastman. The latter didn’t refuse it. She fixated herself on Xiuban’s 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 sharp…

Xiuban grinned in delight.

“Not bad, not bad. A good appetite is a bliss. You cannot be as strong as me unless your stomach is as big as mine…”

Xiuban grinned and bragged about himself. All the other people’s 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.

“Not bad, not bad. A good appetite is a bliss. You cannot be as strong as me unless your stomach is as big as mine…”

After having enough food, the little beastman imitated Xiuban’s expression, and repeated what Xiuban said. It seemed that she picked up Xiuban’s language very easily.

Xiuban extended his hand, and wiped the grease off the little beastman’s face. He then took out a bunch of other food, and gave it to the little beastman.

“Keep eating if you’re not full. Don’t imitate me.”

The little beastman grinned.

“Mom, I’m not imitating you…”

Xiuban couldn’t have looked more awful when he heard the way she called him.

“Don’t call me mom. Call me dad. Got it? Dad.”

“Why do you want me to call Mom dad? Mom is mom…”

“You must call me dad, not mom!”

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 didn’t have any side effects, and wouldn’t 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 potions…

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 Yun’s 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.

“Kid, let me ask you something. Do you remember your past?”

The little beastman ignored Lin Yun. She held onto Xiuban’s leg, and wouldn’t let go. Xiuban then petted her.

“Hurry up. Answer Sir Merlin’s 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 now…”

The little beastman didn’t nod until Xiuban gave an instruction.

“Only a little bit. Most of my memories were lost in the unexpected rebirth.”

Lin Yun nodded. He wasn’t really surprised. It was obvious that the little beastman didn’t remember much about the 73rd God, or she wouldn’t 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.

“What’s the truth and the key of the destruction?” 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 God’s 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 wasn’t resurrected successfully in this place at all. If Lin Yun and Xiuban weren’t here, who stopped the 73rd God from resurrecting?

Whoever stopped the 73rd God from resurrecting didn’t leave any leads. Why? Who did it exactly?

Even if Lin Yun hadn’t 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 Yun’s 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 could’ve done that.

Hearing Lin Yun’s question, the little beastman cried without thinking, emitting ferocity in her eyes.

“The Plane of the Undead.”

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

“Is 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?”

The little beastman shook her head.

“I don’t know. I only remember that I must go to the Plane of the Undead to find the truth. That’s the most important place. I don’t remember anything else.”

Lin Yun shook his head, and didn’t 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 Noscent’s mark on the origin of the plane, the plane would be attached to Noscent, which would benefit Noscent’s 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 couldn’t 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 couldn’t 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 weren’t 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.

“Sir Merlin, what’s going on? Destruction and the Plane of the Undead? Don’t hesitate to ask me if you need my help.”

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 couldn’t be simple. Remembering Agalon the Great Astrologian, Levis believed that Lin Yun was investigating the matter under the Great Astrologian’s 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 didn’t explain in detail. He simply introduced briefly.

“It’s related to a few destroyed eras that I’m interested in.”

Lin Yun didn’t 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 god…

Mafa Merlin is absolutely Sir Agalon’s heir. Also, only a man as talented as Mafa Merlin is likely to be appreciated by Sir Agalon…

Good thing that I didn’t offend him. Our relationship wasn’t terrible, either. After I go back, I’ll ask the Storm Tower to further cooperate with the Gilded Rose. It’s 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 conquests…

If I make friends with Mafa Merlin, it’s possible that I’ll be able to exchange for those new iron warships…

Levis didn’t ask any further. He didn’t dare to ask any more questions, either. Danason, on the other hand, realized that Lin Yun didn’t want to say anything else, so he couldn’t ask. They weren’t really friends yet. It was already not bad that he could go out alive…
