Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 714 373 The Whispers and Temptations of the Abyss_3

At this point, the circle is complete.It's so damned dark!

So it turns out that everyone in this world's Divine Realm is essentially a major debtor, and depending on the situation, they might turn into a defaulter at any time?

This explains why the Abyss Gods are so "diligently" targeting the emperor.

After all, that's a "creditor" who can reclaim debts at any moment, and the Abyss Gods don't want to be defaulters, so they have to honestly help with debt collection.

This is bad!

Louis started to get a headache.

Originally, the Abyss's will was determined to make Old Deng repay his debt and enter the bottomless abyss, but the incident in the Golden Land made him instantly realize that he himself has become a prized target in the other's eyes.

He turned to General Locke and said:

"I heard the Abyss's whispers in the Golden Land. The death of the God of Growth and Forest has little to do with the Elves; the force behind His demise should be the Abyss."

General Locke nodded and said, "That's pretty much what we guessed, which is why we came here in time."

Louis suddenly remembered something, looked at Locke sharply and said, "Were you set up?"

"More or less, anyway, it's quite a dilemma now."

Louis let out a long breath and after a pause, sighed and said, "These long-eared ones are really clever. I guess we can't simply divide them into three countries, as they might not see it that way internally."

General Locke smiled and said, "How could you possibly forget the Elf Realm's dominance back in the day?"

Louis nodded, "True."

We can only say that back then, their becoming the epoch's dominant force was not purely due to luck and power; they were indeed skilled in strategizing.

Once you organize the timeline, you can roughly understand the operations of these elves.

Initially, the elves separated a section of their kin to bear the negative pollution of the Underground City, which allowed them to emerge nearly intact from the city.

Then they leveraged the insufficient understanding of elves by various countries and races to rapidly maximize their power, consuming surrounding areas and instantaneously forming the Elf Realm.

If it were a normal nation, by this stage, it would choose to rest and recuperate.

But the elves didn't do that.

Knowing well that they had gained their position improperly, they didn't hesitate to become the backbone of maintaining world order.

Moreover, they didn't feign sincerity in being a beacon; they truly paid the price in endless blood to become the symbol of justice back then.

The Eternal Blade emerged from that era.

After briefly maintaining their reputation, they quickly shifted focus to cultivating a racial god.

During that time, they set their sights on and took away the remains of the God of Growth and Forest, the last god of the cluster stars, and with the combined power of their race, they built the first racial god, who later became the Elf Main God.

Afterward, the Elf Realm closed its borders, entering a period of rapid internal development and swiftly absorbing the fruits of their victories over the years.

When they reemerged a decade later, they swept across the land with the "tentacles" they had cultivated, ascending to become the epoch's dominant force.

Though later their pantheon faced backlash due to goblins.

Furthermore, they couldn't control their exclaves, leading to internal chaos and fragmentation.

Yet they still maintained a unified ideology.

Even when they were divided into three realms, it is highly likely they maintained close internal relations.

Under normal circumstances, obtaining the remnants of the God of Growth and Forest means having to bear the cause and effect of the Golden Land.

That is the elves' responsibility.

However... many years ago, taking advantage of the war with the Lokeshi people, the Secluded Forest Sea transferred part of the responsibility of guarding the Golden Land to the Lokeshi after being defeated.

——After all, whoever captures it bears its burden.

Louis even suspected that the elves of the Secluded Forest Sea secretly transferred their core strength to the other two Elf Realms.

No wonder he felt the resistance of the Secluded Forest Sea was quite low when he arrived there.

So, this kind of cause and effect was behind it all.
