297: The fourth fragment, the three gods gathered!

Clang!

The God Lord's Holy Sword clattered to the ground, and Sorens fell to his knees with a thud, slowly collapsing as if relieved. An object fell from his embrace, emitting a brilliant light.

"Ding! You have killed the God Lord of the Light God Temple, Suolunsi Shiwo (Lv195), by over-leveling. You have gained experience..."

Upon seeing this, Chen Beixuan quickly cast Underworld Domain, burning the corpse while simultaneously absorbing his soul.

Only then did he unhurriedly step forward to pick up the dropped items.

"You have obtained the Golden Equipment [God Lord's Holy Sword]!"

"You have obtained the Brilliant-grade Item [Mysterious Compass Fragment]!"

Another fragment?

Including this one, he now possessed a total of four fragments, obtained from the Human Realm, Demon Realm, Dark Realm, and God Realm.

The remaining two… if there were no surprises, they should be in the Demon Realm and Elf Realm.

It seemed he would have to find time to make a trip and search for them.

He withdrew his thoughts.

He was about to put it into his backpack when he suddenly noticed that this fragment was different from the previous ones.

He flipped it over and examined it carefully.

To his surprise, he found a crude crayon drawing pasted on the back of the fragment.

The drawing had a kindergarten-level line art style, with half a sun in the upper right corner, and below it, a family of three holding hands, standing on a grassy field. Smiles outlined by lines adorned their three round heads, creating an overall warm and touching scene.

The yellowed paper… and the dark, shiny edges caused by prolonged touching indicated that the item was quite old, and its owner cherished it immensely, often taking it out to caress and reminisce...

Chen Beixuan’s expression was moved.

It fell from Sorens's body... which meant...

The drawing depicted... Laji's family of three, and it was highly likely that Laji drew it when he was a child.

“Hiss…”

He gasped, his heart a mix of emotions.

What was this?

Was Sorens actually a good person?

However, since he had already killed him, it was too late to regret it now.

It was just that life was unpredictable; who could have known in advance?

Fortunately, he had absorbed Sorens's soul in time, so it wasn't true death.

Aside from being loyal to him, all of Sorens's other habits remained the same as before, including his memories and emotions.

Why he didn't acknowledge Laji, and what unmentionable difficulties he had, could be known by simply asking.

Considering this,

Chen Beixuan immediately cast Spirit Resurrection to revive Sorens!

In an instant.

Countless Chaos energy gathered from all directions, gradually forming a human figure. After a while, Sorens slowly opened his eyes, looking around with a hint of confusion.

Upon seeing Chen Beixuan, he immediately knelt down.

He respectfully said, “My Lord.”

Seeing his posture, Chen Beixuan felt a headache and ordered.

“You don’t need to bow to me from now on, nor do you need to call me My Lord, especially in front of Laji.”

“Understood.”

Hearing the name ‘Laji,’ a subtle ripple appeared in Sorens’s eyes, and he obediently stood up.

“I ask, you answer.”

Chen Beixuan stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then posed his first question.

“Why did you sever your relationship with Laji? Do you have some unmentionable difficulty?”

Upon hearing this, Sorens instinctively prepared to answer, but then suddenly hesitated, his expression twitching.

The instinct to obey and his own thoughts were engaged in a fierce struggle, just like Soul Eleven back then.

After a few seconds, he respectfully lowered his head and spoke.

“It was… to protect him.”

“I don’t want him to become the next God Lord; I just want him to live happily forever…”

Before Chen Beixuan could ask, Sorens voluntarily explained the reason,

“Becoming the God Lord means inevitably abiding by the destiny brought by the prophecy, and that destiny is death, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps in ten thousand years. So, I must cut off Laji’s possibility of inheritance at the root; I don’t want him to bear this heavy burden.”

“The prophecy… is it the one related to the God Demon Sword?” Chen Beixuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Sorens was indeed a good person with a hidden difficulty, but was this prophecy so important? Must it be obeyed?

“Exactly. When the God Demon Sword appears, the God Realm will perish, and everything will end. This is a prophecy that has existed since the birth of the God Realm, passed down by successive Light…”

Boom—

Before Sorens could finish speaking, the ceiling of the room was suddenly pierced by a golden light!

Without losing momentum, it instantly struck Sorens, who was speaking, penetrating him from top to bottom!

True Damage -37,512,420,009!

A massive damage of 37.5 billion instantly cleared his health bar. Sorens exploded with a bang, turning into floating Chaos energy.

The moment the ceiling exploded, Chen Beixuan had already moved, appearing above the God Temple’s tall tower!

Above the sky, a golden spatial rift was rapidly contracting.

He unhesitatingly unleashed hundreds of Detonation Spears at the rift, shooting them out!

There was no target display within the attack range, nor any BOSS indicator or health bar. The opponent's attack method was very concealed.

He could only fire a large number of spears, hoping they would automatically lock onto a target.

Unfortunately, the spears were still a step too slow.

0.03 seconds before they were about to enter the rift, the rift completely disappeared. The spears missed, scattering in various directions, automatically seeking out the nearest wild monsters.

He didn't even need to think to know that the person who attacked must be a World God-level being, and most likely the Light God.

15-star Spirit Resurrection provides a 150% all-attribute bonus.

Sorens's strength was comparable to Pasier's, and with the bonus, his health exceeded 30 billion.

The only one who could instantly kill Sorens with 30 billion health in one blow, besides him, was probably only a World God.

His last sentence was clearly related to the word ‘Light,’ and it must have touched upon the opponent’s taboo, so they had to act to prevent Sorens from continuing.

But this kind of behavior only made him more curious.

Chen Beixuan withdrew his gaze, returned to the ground, and spent mana to resummon Sorens.

“Continue.”

“Yes.”

Chen Beixuan listened to Sorens’s narration while vigilantly observing his surroundings.

He had been a step slow in reacting to the sudden sneak attack just now.

This time, with precautions in place, if the opponent dared to attack again... it would be like carrying a lantern to the toilet—seeking death!

......

Void Land.

Three figures gathered.

The Demon God, surrounded by blood mist, the Dark World God, entangled in death qi, and the last figure, the Light God, enveloped in golden light!

At this moment, the Demon God couldn't help but say in a deep voice, “You shouldn’t have acted.”

The Light God was nonchalant, sneering, “If I didn’t act, should I have just let that fool continue speaking?”

“Hehehe… This matter couldn’t be kept secret for long anyway. The Chaos Mage will know one day. If you didn’t want him to speak, why didn’t you deal with the informed person beforehand? Don’t think we don’t know what you’re planning.”

The Dark World God interjected from the side with a sinister, harsh, and unpleasant laugh.

Seeing his intentions exposed, the Light God frankly admitted.

“Haha, the strange thing about human nature is that the more you forbid them from doing something, the more curious they become, and the more they want to do it.”

“That fool has limited information, but he’ll lure the Chaos Mage to constantly explore like honey, and only then can our plan proceed smoothly.”

Mentioning that plan, the atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

“Without the Elf God and the Demon God, just the three of us, are you confident?” the Demon God asked with a slight worry.

The Light God turned his body, glanced at him lightly, and said indifferently, “As long as the Chaos Mage doesn’t become a god, I have absolute confidence. You know how big the difference is between a god and a human.”

He regained his composure, looked at the surveillance screen, which showed Chen Beixuan’s image, and earnestly assured.

“Don’t worry, once the plan succeeds, I won’t mistreat you two.”

“Then… what about the Voyager? What do we do about him?” the Dark World God suddenly asked.
