314: Chapter 314 The Fire of the Ancient Gods!

"Everyone died in battle, not a single one survived!"

When Loki spat out those eight words.

Beside the campfire, a deathly silence fell.

Only the "crackling" of burning firewood echoed in the night wind.

Lin Zihao, Zhao Meng, and the others clenched their fists, their eyes reddening.

An indescribable sense of tragedy and shock clogged everyone's chests.

To protect humanity, they fought to the death without retreating.

This is the proud backbone of their Dragon Kingdom's Ancient Gods!

Lu Yuan leaned against a boulder, his deep eyes fixed on Loki.

That gaze was like a drawn blade, as if it wanted to see right through this God of Mischief.

"Loki."

Lu Yuan's voice was cold and calm, "Can I believe your words?"

Facing this incredibly oppressive interrogation.

Loki did not grin as usual, but instead shook his head bitterly.

He extended a finger and tapped his glabella, where a red wolf head mark faintly flashed.

"Boss, we signed a soul contract."

"You should know better than me that I have no way, nor is it possible for me, to lie to you."

Lu Yuan was silent for two seconds, then nodded slightly.

"Good."

Lu Yuan straightened up, his eyes becoming unprecedentedly grave:

"Then, who exactly is this [That Lord] you speak of?"

"Even the mighty God King seems to tremble in fear when hearing that name!"

"Swish!"

As soon as those words were spoken.

Loki's muscles visibly tensed up!

In his cunning eyes, an emotion called "fear" uncontrollably welled up.

His pupils were even trembling due to extreme terror!

Loki subconsciously shrank his neck, scanning the surrounding darkness.

As if in this boundless night, an invisible hand might crush him completely at any moment!

"No, I cannot say..."

Loki's voice trembled violently, his teeth even chattering.

"I cannot mention his name..."

"E-even, I cannot describe his existence..."

"Boss, don't force me..."

"He... is everywhere..."

"He... knows everything..."

Loki clutched his shoulders tightly, his eyes filled with deep despair and trembling.

"Whether it is the gods high above, or you humans struggling on the Wasteland."

"Even this vast world, these endless planes..."

"In his eyes, they are nothing more than a chessboard."

"We..."

"Are all just his pawns!"

"Boom—!"

The moment Loki said the word "pawns"!

In the pitch-black night sky, a violent blood-red thunderclap struck without warning!

The thunder rolled, as if the heavens were enraged, wanting to tear this world apart completely!

"Ah!!!"

Loki shuddered in fear and jumped up from the ground.

His already bloodless face was now as pale as a sheet of paper!

"Boss!"

Loki flopped back onto the ground with a "thump," gasping for air, his eyes full of pleading.

"I'm sorry... regarding [That Lord], I really, really cannot say any more!"

"If I reveal even half a word more..."

"As long as I attract even a trace of his gaze, I, I will be instantly obliterated, body and soul!"

Seeing Loki looking so completely terrified and on the verge of collapse.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

To be able to scare Loki, who is known for his cunning and fearlessness, into such a state.

What kind of terrifying existence is that so-called "Lord"?!

"Alright."

Lu Yuan did not continue to force him, but changed the subject.

"One last question."

Lu Yuan raised his hand and pointed toward the deepest part of the World Center.

There, shrouded in thick war fog, it exuded endless danger and mystery.

"What exactly is in the deepest part of the World Center?!"

Hearing that Lu Yuan was no longer asking about [That Lord], Loki let out a long sigh of relief.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his expression recovering slightly.

Loki looked at the flickering campfire and took a deep breath.

"Actually, this last question and your first question have the same answer."

"What do you mean?" Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Loki's expression was solemn, his voice deep and gloomy:

"The deepest part of the World Center is the battlefield where your Dragon Kingdom's gods fell!"

"That place is known as the [Ruins of the Primordial Divine War]!"

"Back then, your Dragon Kingdom's gods shed their last drop of divine blood on that land."

"Now, there lie the sleeping remains of countless Dragon Kingdom's Ancient Gods..."

Loki paused, using an extremely solemn term.

"Immortal Divine Bodies!"

"Whoosh!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

All the key members of the Red Wolf Guild stood up abruptly, their eyes bursting with unbelievable light.

The remains of the Dragon Kingdom's gods?!

Right in the deepest part of the World Center?!

"Not only that..."

Loki looked at Lu Yuan, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Those Dragon Kingdom's Ancient Gods, at the very last moment before they completely fell and their divine souls dissipated."

"Exhausted their last bit of divinity."

Loki enunciated each word, speaking heavily:

"In the deepest part of the ruins."

"The gods, for you descendants of the Dragon Kingdom..."

"Left behind a trace, used to ignite hope—"

"Inheritance of the Fire!"
