Chapter 67 Preparations Before Departure
Chapter 67 Preparations Before Departure
"I never expected that I could directly purchase a soul defense artifact in the store."
Although it was only a lower-god level soul defense artifact, the appearance of this ring was unexpected by Karl. After all, soul defense artifacts are not like other artifacts. Those who can forge soul defense artifacts are all powerful individuals with sufficient means to deal with the soul, and such powerful individuals are often concentrated at the upper-god level.
With a set of three lower-level artifacts, Karl felt that he was probably quite powerful even among lower-level gods.
The lower-tier attack artifact and the lower-tier defense artifact would allow Karl to reach the top level of a lower-tier god in terms of attack and defense. Moreover, the soul defense artifact completed the last piece of Karl's puzzle.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to stay on the Yulan Continent any longer."
This is not because Carl has any paranoia, but rather a judgment based on facts.
The Yulan Continent is Beirut's home turf. As for the claim that the Graveyard of the Gods is where Beirut selects its chief god, just listen to that nonsense. How often do people talk to one person and another to another?
If Beirut truly wanted to find someone to accompany him to become the chief god, then he should have done so like the other chief gods.
The oldest group of gods simplified the profound mysteries again and again for the sake of faith, so that ordinary people could also comprehend them. What Beirut did was send a group of holy beings to adventure in the graveyard of the gods every thousand years. The mortality rate was always high. If you really wanted to cultivate a god from a group of holy beings, it would take an extremely long time.
Rather than cultivating its own main god, Beirut is waiting for those powerful individuals who have the potential to achieve the Great Perfection.
Alternatively, one could choose a powerful expert with the potential to reach the Great Perfection of the Three Elements Gods and create a Three Elements God. This person must be reliable. If that's not possible, and someone in one's own lineage has the potential to become a Three Elements High God, then Beirut could create a Three Elements Five-Fusion God.
With a descendant of one of his own who is close to the ruler, and the ruler of destruction involved, Beirut may well have a chance to leave the Yulan Continent.
As for others, they were clearly not among Beirut's considerations.
Whether it's the God of War or the High Priest, they are mostly just tools for Beirut.
Carl didn't want to be used as a tool, so leaving was the best solution.
Even if the road ahead is uncertain and potentially very dangerous, only by leaving here can one escape Beirut's constant surveillance.
After all, Beirut probably wouldn't have much of a mind to spare below the god level, but once he steps into the god level, the situation might be different.
This is similar to the Warcraft king thousands of years ago, who was captured by Beirut and stuffed into the graveyard of the gods after becoming a mid-level god. Others may also receive similar treatment.
People like the God of War have never left the Jade Orchid Continent for thousands of years, mostly placing their future in the Graveyard of the Gods. But once they reach the level of a mid-level god, they will have some understanding of the profound mysteries. Compared to the high-level gods who have no further progress in refining their divine sparks, it is far better to spend thousands or tens of thousands of years to comprehend and become a high-level god on their own.
"We must leave!"
Staying on the Yulan Continent is of little use to Karl now.
After the system optimized the bonuses for territories and families, a level 2 family can only provide him with a 1% bonus to all aspects of his strength. With his current points, he can buy a large number of Saint-level aptitude upgrades. As for advancing to level 4, Karl sees no hope at all, at least in the short term.
Leaving the secret chamber of the miniature plane, Karl once again breathed in the air of the Yulan Continent.
"Perhaps this is the last time I'll smell the fragrance of the Magnolia Continent."
Karl closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, only to find that he lacked literary talent and couldn't utter any elegant words.
Opening his eyes, Karl instantly left his original spot.
Holy Alliance.
The Talos family residence.
During Karl's century-long seclusion, only one new Saint-level expert emerged in the entire family: Karl's eldest son, Lin Taros. After Lin Taros's ascension to Saint-level, the family's leadership changed from Lin to Lei Luo.
Leilo Taros was a level seven warrior more than two hundred years ago. With Karl's talent enhancements, he also reached the Saint-level talent level. However, to this day, his strength has only reached the late stage of level nine.
Even without Karl's leadership, the Talos family, with three members holding the title of Saint Realm, still managed to carve out a haven within the Holy Alliance, despite the absence of their leadership.
"Father!"
"grandfather!"
Lin and Luo An quickly arrived in front of Karl. Their strength was still at the early stage of the Saint Realm, and their understanding of the power of heaven and earth was relatively limited. However, in front of them, the aura of this light blue figure was like an abyss and a prison. Just by standing in front of him, the two of them felt an extremely powerful pressure, and their bodies instinctively wanted to escape.
"To make a long story short," Karl interrupted their attempt to reminisce, and continued, "I established a kingdom in the Chaotic Territory called the Heavenly Wind Kingdom. Within the kingdom lies a giant magic crystal mine, and deep within the mine is a place where one can comprehend the laws dozens or even hundreds of times more effectively."
Seeing the gleam in their eyes, Karl interrupted them, saying, "To enter that place, you need at least the strength of the peak of the Saint Realm. Unless you two or a descendant of your family comprehends the profound mysteries, going in rashly will most likely result in being killed by the elemental power within the passage."
"Within the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, I still have ten subordinates at the early stage of the Saint Realm. With your current strength, you two are no match for those arrogant and fierce generals. Without the strength of the peak of the Saint Realm, you two should not make contact with them."
Karl was doing this for the good of the two of them. Ten early-stage Saint Realm experts were nothing to him, but they were a huge obstacle for Lin and Luo An.
Don't be fooled by the respectful attitude William and the others show towards Karl; it's because Karl himself possesses extremely formidable strength. Moreover, over the years, while they might not have known where Karl was in seclusion at first, they might now be aware of it.
After all, when that place was unearthed, Carl didn't choose to clear it out.
While Karl was around, they didn't dare to probe or even think about getting close. But Karl was going to leave the Yulan Continent eventually. They might not know for a short time, but as time went on, they would inevitably have the idea of probing.
In particular, once he chooses to leave, this matter cannot be kept secret from those god-level powerhouses. And once the god-level powerhouses find out, then the saint-level experts who are close to Karl and reach the peak of the saint-level may not be unaware that Karl left after becoming a god.
Which holy realm wouldn't go crazy for a place where Karl could become a god in a short time?
