Chapter 757: The Great War Is About to Begin

Inside the Deep Abyss, a figure looked at the intelligence in their hand, a trace of surprise appearing on their face.

"Orc Sword Saint Azike? Dimolin actually managed to invite this person out; is it to deal with Andiya?"

"That's right. From the intelligence we've gathered, Dimolin invited the long-secluded Orc Sword Saint Azike out specifically to deal with Andiya," the Fate Mage nodded and said.

"What did you see in the fate?"

"I couldn't see anything; a green radiance obscured my vision. I have a premonition that if I were to try and see through that radiance, I would inevitably pay a heavy price!" The Fate Mage closed their eyes, then slowly opened them, speaking to the figure.

"A verdant green radiance?" Upon hearing the Fate Mage say this, the figure's pupils suddenly constricted. "To be able to obscure your Fate Power, could it be that the Elf Goddess has awakened?"

However, the figure seemed to think of something, and quickly calmed down.

"No, not that fast. Even if the Elf Ancient Tree has become the Eternal Ancient Tree, it is impossible for the Elf Goddess to awaken so quickly. However, the Elf Goddess's Divine Power has already begun to bless the Spirit race, which means the time until her awakening is no longer far off."

"With my current strength, it is impossible to glimpse the fate of gods. But I have an intuition that it is very likely other gods will appear in this world," the Fate Mage said.

"Other gods appearing? Could it be the Light God? Damn it, how could I have forgotten the Light Church!" The figure's tone turned gloomy all at once. "Demon Qi has appeared on the Continent; the Light Church will inevitably report this to the Light God Clan. We don't have much time left; the plan must be accelerated!"

"I understand. In just a little more time, we will succeed!" The Fate Mage's gaze looked toward the distance.

In a corner of the Deep Abyss, a tall figure stood silently. On this figure's hands, feet, chest, and head, there were hideous puncture wounds. Although this figure did not have a trace of a living being's aura, a terrifying aura radiated from them, causing one to tremble.

"Tell me, can that Orc Sword Saint Azike defeat Andiya?" The Fate Mage was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.

"Defeat? Hahahaha..." Hearing the Fate Mage's question, the figure laughed out loud, as if they had heard a colossal joke.

"What is it? Is my question very strange?"

"Azike defeating Andiya—that is simply one of the funniest questions I have ever heard! Do you really think Andiya's strength is that weak, or that the Orc Sword Saint is that strong? I don't deny that Azike is indeed a rare genius, but compared to Andiya, such a genius is still far behind! I am curious now to know how much progress Azike has made over these years. If his strength hasn't made significant progress compared to several hundred years ago, he won't last more than a few moves in front of Andiya. If his strength has advanced as rapidly as it did when he first made a name for himself, then perhaps he might be able to hold out for a while against Andiya."

"Is Andiya that terrifying?"

"Andiya is the strongest in the Spirit race besides the Elf Goddess, and she is also the person most likely to become the second Elf Goddess after the Elf Goddess disappeared back then. If I hadn't severely sabotaged her before, what we would be facing now would very likely be a powerhouse who had stepped into the position of a god by her own strength, do you understand?"

"Hiss—" The Fate Mage could not help but gasp.

Gods are existences standing at the very pinnacle of this world. Even in the Ancient God Era when Origin Qi was abundant, it was extremely difficult to reach the realm of a god. Especially after the Millennium Holy War, the gods left the Continent, and this Continent has not seen a true god since. That Andiya actually has the ability to step into the god realm—how could this not shock him?

"Facing such a terrifying opponent, why didn't you eliminate her before, instead of letting her live until now?"

"You think I didn't want to take action? In my eyes, Andiya is a Goblin Grenade that could explode at any moment. However, the existence of certain things makes me not dare to act at all!" The figure said through gritted teeth. "To have been missing for such a long time and still leave behind so many terrifying things—those people really are exceptionally doting toward the Spirit race!"

"Those people, do you mean the Lingyun Mercenary Group?"

"That's right. Those guys joined forces to complete the almost impossible feat of god-slaying; they were the most terrifying existences during the Millennium Holy War. You must know that after becoming a god, one is almost immortal and indestructible. Even for a god, wanting to kill another god is an extremely difficult task; at most, one can only strike them into a state of long slumber. But the Lingyun Mercenary Group not only completely killed a god while being mere mortals, they even killed the Lord of the Demon World. This single matter alone is enough to be horrifying. A curse they left on the Dark Holy Sword forces me to be unable to see the light even now. The array around the Elf Kingdom is a bona fide God-Slaying Array; at least several Demon Race gods perished within it at the time. Furthermore, the Airships the Spirit race has dispatched this time, if combined together, are also a God-Slaying Weapon. Back then, who knows how many contingencies the Lingyun Mercenary Group left in the Morning Light Forest. You tell me, facing this situation, do I dare to act?"

Hearing the figure say this, the Fate Mage could not help but gasp. Although he had long heard of the reputation left behind by the Lingyun Mercenary Group, he had never taken it to heart. Now, hearing the figure say this, he finally realized just what a terrifying existence the Lingyun Mercenary Group was back then.

"We don't need to worry about the matters outside for now. That guy Dimolin is courting death himself, but at least he has attracted the attention of the Spirit race and the Light Church for us. We must complete the plan to control the body of the Lord of the Demon World before he is routed. Only then will we be qualified to reign as kings on this Continent!"

"I understand." The Fate Mage nodded forcefully.

Elf Fortress, council hall.

Andiya looked at the green radiance in her hand, her brows slightly raised: "The Orc Empire has assembled an Army of hundreds of thousands and is marching in our direction. They will reach the fortress we established in just a few more days."

"It seems that after the negotiations broke down, Dimolin no longer has the patience to haggle with us," Lingyun said with a smile, looking at the information Andiya had probed using Natural Magic. "I wonder what kind of trump card the Orc Empire has used this time to give him the courage to face you again."

Dimolin probably never imagined that Andiya's Natural Magic was so powerful that she could allow plants to scout intelligence for her from such a great distance. Of course, Lingyun also had a hand in this; if he hadn't used his own power to disrupt the Fate Line, Dimolin might have actually sensed something.

"Pass down the order: we may have a tough battle to fight, have the entire Army prepare!" The radiance in Andiya's hand dissipated as she spoke to Jienuo beside her.

Jienuo acknowledged, then quickly left the hall.
