Chapter 1710: Chapter 1261: Divine Kingdom, Like a Dream._3
Long Yi easily left the Eighth Ring and entered the Seventh. Within the Seventh Ring, as usual, there was a large number of Gods of War guarding the perimeter of the passage, waiting for new gods to arrive. When Long Yi appeared, those Gods of War just about to take action, froze in place because, for some unknown reason, a voice seemed to arise in their hearts, telling them absolutely not to make a move.
It was very baffling.
Some of the Gods of War shook their heads vigorously and still charged at Long Yi, shouting loudly, but as they approached him, they simply vanished into thin air. Without any warning, without any burst of Divine Power, without the surge of rules, they simply disappeared out of nowhere, along with their Divine Status and Divine Power, as if they had never existed.
Every God of War was stunned because this was completely outside their scope of knowledge; they had no idea what was happening. A group of fine Gods of War just vanished without a trace. They didn’t dare to make any more moves, they didn’t even dare to flee, they could only watch as Long Yi left.
In fact, even Long Yi himself didn’t know what had happened. He was very lucid this time, but everything happened naturally.
With so many mysteries on himself, this was not the first, and definitely not the last. Now Long Yi was not worried at all, because as long as he could complete all the diaries he had left here, everything would become clear.
Just like in the Ninth and Eighth Rings, when Long Yi appeared in the Seventh Ring, all the Divine Texts hidden in various secret places also appeared and moved towards Long Yi. Without surprise, the phenomenon also drew the attention of the gods of the Seventh Ring, who chased after the astounding Divine Texts all the way to Long Yi, and then, they saw the sky full of Divine Texts converging around Long Yi.
"This is my third experiment; having learned from the previous two trials, this time I tried to change things. I will give them a bit of power, allowing them to govern themselves."
"Everything was very successful. They formed a very rudimentary society. Although it’s different from the models I simulated in the Heavenly Kingdom, it’s still a good thing."
"Strange, strange, strange."
"These societies stopped developing after a certain point, it’s really incomprehensible, as if something was preventing them from moving forward."
"My God! Conflicts arose again! And such minor ones at that!"
"I can hardly believe what I saw, such minor conflicts actually evolved into war!"
"I didn’t interfere with anything, the war took away half of their lives, and those irrational survivors came to accuse me of not stopping them."
"It’s time to end this."
That’s all there was in the diaries of the Seventh Ring. Long Yi could empathize with how terrible he felt when he wrote these words, meddling in everything would result in accusations from the creations, yet not meddling would also lead to accusations. Even though he was the creator, he did not receive the respect he deserved; instead, he had to face this unbearable endless demand, and when the demands couldn’t be satisfied, there came the accusations - anyone would find it intolerable.
Having absorbed all the Divine Texts, the surroundings were now empty of gods. At first, these gods were just watching, but as they watched, they suddenly felt an inexplicable terror and then they all fled. Long Yi didn’t know why... nor did he bother to find out.
It was time to enter the Sixth Ring.
Upon entering the Sixth Ring, Long Yi appeared in a great hall where numerous gods were bustling about, representing various Legions recruiting people. Long Yi’s appearance attracted the attention of these gods, but soon, they stopped paying attention to Long Yi, because his power seemed to be lacking quite a bit.
But Long Yi discovered an interesting fact: the gods of the Sixth Ring were not afraid of him!
In the previous three rings, the gods would instinctively feel fear towards him, but no such thing happened in the Sixth Ring.
Strange indeed.
At this time, a short-statured god approached him.
"Hey, new god, from the Seventh Ring?" the god greeted enthusiastically.
"Yeah, from the Seventh Ring." Long Yi replied.
"After that god swept through there, you from the Seventh Ring can still make it to the Sixth Ring, shows you’re quite strong too." the god said.
"That god?" Long Yi was puzzled.
"You don’t know?"
"Don’t know."
"It’s that god named Darkness," said the god, raising his voice slightly, and suddenly the surroundings fell silent, the space around them seemed to freeze.
"Darkness?" Long Yi repeated, and by this time, some gods were already glaring angrily at Long Yi and him.
"Sorry, sorry, let’s talk over here," the god said, pulling Long Yi into a corner.
"It’s about a god named Darkness, who is said to have come to the Sixth Ring from the Ninth with an overwhelming strength, defeating countless Gods of War, absorbing a plethora of Divine Status, and after pillaging the precious Ancient Divine Texts of our Sixth Ring, she suddenly proclaimed herself the messenger of the one true god, and with terrifying Divine Power missiles completely obliterated the Gods of War who surrounded her, and then she entered the Fifth Ring," the god explained, conjuring an image in his hand.
Golems.
That’s the Darkness Saintess!
Long Yi laughed and said, "I see, she really is quite something."
"Yeah, of course she’s amazing! Because of her, our Sixth Ring is now in great turmoil. Since you’re a new god and not that strong, why don’t you join our Legion? Although our Legion is not big, with only tens of thousands of Gods of War, we are united."
The god began to recruit Long Yi into his group.
"Thanks for the offer, but I’m not going to stay here for long, so I’ll pass," Long Yi said with a smile.
"Not staying long? Are you heading to the Fifth Ring?" the god asked.
"Yes," said Long Yi.
"Wow, that’s a lofty ideal, but... never mind, it’s okay, good luck to you," the god was good-natured, chuckled, and left.
