Originally, it was the Godly General who complained, and the other deities heard of Long Chen's name, so they came together. But now, such a reversal happened. The Godly King of Hell casually killed the Godly General without leaving a trace.
With a single sentence from the Godly King of Hell, the other deities understood the status of this newly born deity.
Ordinary Godly Generals and Godly Soldiers didn't have the qualifications to bully him. Even one of the 72 deities probably had to look at the Godly King of Hell's face.
Although Long Chen didn't know why the Godly King of Hell treated him this way, it was really because he dealt with the primordial demons and was a hero.
At least that was how it seemed now.
At least now, Long Chen understood that he didn't have to worry about being enemies with the other deities. Just like what the Violent Blood Dragon Emperor said, he wanted to integrate with them, not oppose them.
"Thank you, Godly King of Hell."
Therefore, he quickly expressed his gratitude. The Godly King of Hell's massacre this time had established his status. As a result, the gazes of the 72 deities softened, and the originally solemn atmosphere quickly became harmonious.
"The Godly King is right, we came back a little late. If it weren't for the two of them, all living beings on the Dragon Sacrificial Continent would have been devoured by the primordial demons, and we wouldn't have been able to build this new world. Although the current world isn't as good as the primordial era, at least we have stopped the collapse of the world …"
"These two new deities are really good. From now on, you are one of the deities of our Dragon Sacrificial Continent. We are all your seniors. If you have any needs, you can tell us."
Of course, they could see that Mo Xiaolang cultivated the demonic path, but it didn't matter. There were many demonic paths in the myriad worlds, and demonic paths didn't equal to the primordial demons.
The Godly Monarchs among the deities had more authority. At this moment, they all spoke to Long Chen in a much gentler tone, and even had smiles on their faces.
The Godly King of Hell said, "Since that's the case, I'd better explain it to them. Otherwise, these two little fellows don't know anything about our disappearance and return."
Long Chen pricked up his ears. He wanted to hear what they would say about their disappearance and their return.
In reality, if it wasn't for the Deity Sea's corpse, Long Chen would have completely trusted them and treated them as his own. However, because of the Deity Sea's corpse's existence, there was always a knot in his heart that prevented him from getting close to the gods.
The Godly King of Hell looked up at the sky and sighed. "There are a lot of things that newly born gods like you don't understand. After the Divine Dragons went extinct, we, the ancient gods, gradually rose in this world and protected this homeland. But perhaps because of the damage left by the Divine Dragon Era, the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Continent is gradually collapsing. Just the surface area of the continent has shrunk by 99% since we left this place. In other words, the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Continent in the ancient times was a hundred times larger than it is today. You didn't live in that era, so you don't know the real numbers."
Long Chen originally thought that it was only a few times or a dozen times. He didn't expect it to be a hundred times. Clearly, the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Continent was dozens of times larger than the Spirit Essence Star Ocean.
The Godly King of Hell continued, "Faced with this world that was gradually being destroyed and its living beings gradually disappearing, we had no choice but to leave this place. This is because the existence of us gods would make this world unable to withstand our power and accelerate its collapse. Therefore, we left and went to other worlds, other worlds, and drifted among them. However, we didn't do so without a goal and hope."
The Godly King of Hell's expression was solemn, earnest, passionate, and generous. He flicked his long hair like a madman and pointed at the Eternal Opal in the sky. "Our goal was to find a treasure that could rebuild our homeland and stabilize this world once again. We have been searching for it for a full ten million years, scattered all over the worlds, and today, we have finally succeeded. It is this Eternal Opal. As you can see, its radiance and the 'World Creation Spirit Qi' released have already engulfed the entire world. At the very least, it has turned the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Great World into a middle-level world."
Listening to his words, he didn't feel any falsehood. Long Chen couldn't help but feel a little confused. Could it be that the Deity Ocean wasn't real at all? Was everything he said about these people in front of him really true?
"It's impossible for there to be two groups of gods … Or perhaps those god corpses have other reasons." Long Chen really couldn't find any reason to doubt them.
The Eternal Opal had indeed brought the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Continent back to life. After their return, they hadn't harmed a single living being and had even bestowed power upon everyone. From this perspective, they had done great deeds.
The Godly King of Hell spoke passionately. At this moment, he continued, "You definitely don't know, but the Eternal Opal is a seventh-grade 'Eternal-grade' Primal Chaos treasure. This is the rarest thing, and only in the worlds at the very top can such an item exist. We have spent tens of millions of years to finally find this thing that can save our world. Deity Emperor Di Jun led us in a massacre to obtain the Eternal Opal. Now, we are using it to save the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Continent that is on the brink of destruction and build a new world. These two years have been the time when history has been rewritten. That's right, we didn't abandon our homeland. We have returned."
At this point, the gods' eyes were almost brimming with tears.
The Godly King of Hell told Long Chen the reason and process. Hearing this, it was very difficult for Long Chen to doubt them anymore. He only retained that tiny bit of suspicion in his heart.
"It's been hard on you." That was all he could say.
The Godly King of Hell chuckled and said, "It's not hard at all. Actually, we could have stayed in other worlds and didn't have to return. Other worlds have higher resources, but Deity Emperor Di Jun couldn't let go of this land, so he summoned us to return. He and the other Deity Emperors are also on their way back. I believe it won't be long before they descend again. As long as the Deity Emperors descend, it will be the beginning of a new life for our Dragon Sacrificial Dragon World."
"Of course, what surprised us the most was that after tens of millions of years, this barren land still gave birth to you guys and even resolved the crisis of the Primordial Demon Race. The reason why we didn't pursue the Era Heavenly Demon was firstly because we were worried that they would return to their peak. If we went after them, we would only be sending ourselves to our deaths. Secondly, we had to stop the damage to the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon World as soon as possible. With the existence of the Eternal Opal, even if the Era Heavenly Demon at his peak attacked, he might not be able to harm this world … I just didn't expect you to actually deal with him. Unbelievable."
The Godly King of Hell was very emotional.
Long Chen looked around. Indeed, his hometown had changed … This world was like heaven now. He could also go down to the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Continent at any time to see Ling Qing and the others. After so many years, he really missed them. Perhaps within a hundred years, the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Continent would quickly catch up to the Eternal Life God Domain. Of course, the Eternal Life God Domain was closest to the Eternal Opal, closest to the World of Creation Spirit Qi.
Long Chen glanced around. Right now, many city lords of god cities were close to the level of Eight Tribulations and Nine Palaces Tribulations.
It was just that their Nine Palaces were different from Long Chen's Nine Palaces.
At this moment, the Godly King of Hell patted his shoulder and suddenly announced to the world in a loud voice, "My people, I am the Godly King of Hell."
His voice swept across the Eternal Life God Domain and the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Continent, reaching everyone's ears. When they returned, they caused a huge commotion. Right now, the entire Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Continent already knew that the gods were truly living in this world.
They believed in the gods.
The Godly King of Hell continued, "Today, I have great news to tell everyone. Do you still remember that three years ago, there were two young heroes who willingly made a deal with the primordial demons in order to save the lives of the common people? They gave up their bodies and souls and were taken away. But today, they returned safely and brought good news with them. They exterminated the primordial demons. They are Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang. From now on, they are members of the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Pantheon."
After hearing this, the people were startled at first, but then they immediately cheered at the top of their lungs.
No one could forget the battle three years ago. Everyone clearly knew how terrifying the Primeval Troll was. It was Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang who turned the tide and saved everyone's lives.
Their deeds had already spread to the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Continent. It also let the people of the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Continent know that they were once protected. That period of time was a disaster for them. Because of the impact of the battle, too many natural disasters occurred, and too many people were injured or killed.
Now, the communication between the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Continent and the Eternal Life God Domain was quite frequent. People could be seen going back and forth between the two places at any time.
The people of the Eternal Life God Domain had the greatest reaction.
Even though the gods had returned, they still deeply believed in Long Chen. Long Chen discovered that even the majority of the Monster Race, Oceanic Race, and Witch Race living beings had brought him the wish of all living beings. After knowing that he was still alive, they were also very excited.
"Brothers and sisters, I, Long Chen, have returned safely …" This could be considered as a report of his safety.
On the Dragon Sacrificial Dragon Continent, those who were familiar with him would also heave a sigh of relief when they heard his voice.
The Godly King of Hell was very satisfied. He said to Long Chen, "Long Chen, you just returned. What are your plans?"
Long Chen said, "I want to go back and see my family and friends. I haven't seen them for a while, so they must be very worried about me."
The Godly King of Hell smiled and said, "No problem. There's still a long way to go. Everyone, disperse. Also, in a few days, I will set up a banquet in the Western Hell God City and invite the two of you to my Hell God City as guests. How about it?"
"Since it's the Godly King's invitation, it's only natural for me to accept it." Long Chen nodded.
If everything the Godly King of Hell said was true, then they were indeed seniors worthy of respect. Long Chen would never be stingy with his respect for his seniors.
"Very good, very good. Then we'll be leaving first."
The Godly King of Hell said no more and directly led his people back to the Hell God City. The other gods bid farewell to Long Chen and left one after another. The scene looked very harmonious.
