Chapter 721: The Message from the Chasm Sovereign of Senlo

Ashe Heath.

The mastermind behind the “Mayor’s Judgment Night” at the Blood Moon Shattered Lake Prison, the designated “First Gospel” by the Gospel Ranking, the catalyst of the Six Nations War, the only officially recognized stepfather by Empress Yisuo, the witness to the demise of the legendary sorcerer Gray Fox during the Divine Fire Trial Cicada Lurk, and the true inheritor of the Wishflux Inheritance. Within less than a year, from reality to the Virtual Realm, the legendary feats he has experienced are enough to make anyone else restart their life several times over.

Yolan Vesser.

A survivor of the Dead City, a betrayer of the Tribulation Fire Chapel, forced into exile due to the fear of the Mercury Trojan Horse, she has plundered over half of the Demi-God from the wasteland, her notorious reputation known from the Four Pillars Cult to the Qinyi Alliance. She has befriended loneliness since childhood, taking betrayal as her mentor, traversing the wilderness of the night, dreaming of setting the world ablaze.

Yet, even these two sorcerers who have weathered countless storms found themselves shocked and at a loss, their minds blank at this moment.

Dove, Fire Cat, Bluebird.

Even in the civilization-halved Senlo wasteland, finding someone who doesn’t recognize these names would be a challenge, except perhaps among children under three. Even Ashe, who has only been in Senlo for a few months and has been consistently ostracized by the locals, hears these names or their derivatives almost daily.

For they are history, they are Senlo. All of Senlo’s civilization is built upon these names, and even the myriad beliefs of the Senlo people cannot escape their grasp.

Fourteen hundred years ago, the Dove Divine Era began, unifying Senlo.

Twelve hundred years ago, the Fire Cat Divine Era commenced, ushering in the longest and most glorious divine era.

Seven hundred years ago, all great eras came to an end, but due to the perfection of the divine fire system, the Fire Cat Divine Era transitioned smoothly into the Bluebird Divine Era.

Three hundred and fifty years ago, the Bluebird Divine Era transitioned smoothly into the Gray Fox Divine Era. At that time, the Senlo people believed that divine eras would continue to cycle, with civilization renewing itself, and that bloody wars were merely exaggerations in history books, even though the divine fire system was merely a budding creation of a few hundred years.

Their names were once the supreme ideals for which millions strived.

Their existence was the flowering of this land, the fruition of this sky!

They were the first Demi-God to open the divine era!

“Dove Demi-God, Fire Cat Demi-God, Bluebird Demi-God.” Vesser instinctively took a few steps toward them but quickly retreated to Ashe’s side. “Why are you appearing here?”

Ashe fully understood Silver Lantern’s excitement and closeness; he would feel the same if he saw historical figures who had made significant contributions to society and science. Being able to converse with history is an immense honor for mere humans.

“First, we are not Demi-God; we are deities, but you can just call us by our names or nicknames without adding ‘deity,’ just as you wouldn’t add ‘human’ or ‘orc’ when addressing others.” The lively Fire Cat raised two fingers. “Second, we are here for you, of course.”

“You are the first inheritor to pass the hidden trial.” Dove pulled out a long staff from somewhere, planted it on the beach, and solemnly said, “According to the established procedure, when the Chasm Sovereign cannot appear, we will make the announcement for you.” Ɽ𝐚𐌽ốΒЁŝ

“Only those whose hearts are filled with courage, whose will never wavers, who engage with the world on equal terms, and who forever sing my song, can pass the Silent Spiral Trial. Inheritor, regardless of your race, strength, or belief, you shall co-rule the Myriad Manifestations Land of Senlo with us.”

“You are my proxy, and at the end of the distant road, we shall meet at the appointed place.”

“-Chasm Sovereign.”

Though it was merely Dove reciting, though it was just a passage of text, Ashe and Silver Lantern inexplicably felt a sense of awe. This was their first time hearing the words of the Six-Wings Divine Sovereign. Before this, they couldn’t be sure what kind of existence the Six-Wings Divine Sovereign was-whether they had desires, self-awareness, or even the thought of conveying messages to humans; everything was unknown.

In any Kingdom, the Divine Sovereign is essentially detached from mortals. Even if they have thoughts, they wouldn’t notify those below them-yes, not even a notification, let alone an order, would they bother to give.

Many sorcerers believe that the Divine Sovereign and Angels no longer recognize themselves as the same kind of beings as humans (this is the self-recognition of most sorcerers), and they have no empathy for mortals, nor do they care whether mortals hate or worship them.

Just like when you play chess, you don’t care whether the piece likes or dislikes you because no matter what it thinks, it can’t harm you or serve you.

Now, other Divine Sovereigns are unknown, but at least the Chasm Sovereign cares about mortals, even leaving a hidden trial for mortals to meet them. Even if this care is likely akin to affection for a pet.

Translating this message, it’s like saying, “I’m entrusting this cat house to you; if you can appear before me in the future, I might give you a belly rub.”

However, Ashe and Vesser both keenly noticed the key point in this message.

“I will co-rule the Myriad Manifestations Land of Senlo with the Chasm Sovereign?” Vesser asked in confusion.

“The Land of Senlo, Myriad Manifestations Heaven,” Dove explained. “Though the Chasm Sovereign is transferring the Dream Master share of the Land of Senlo to you, they also understand that mortals cannot support the Land of Senlo alone. Moreover, the appearance of an inheritor is a result of their inability to control the Land of Senlo, indicating that the Chasm Sovereign is in trouble.”

“So, once your Dream Master share is inherited to a certain extent, the Chasm Sovereign can free up their hands to solve their own problems. Once they are done, they will naturally reclaim the Dream Master share and continue to maintain the existence of the Land of Senlo.”

“But your experience as the Dream Master of Senlo is an invaluable asset. Moreover, to reward you for helping the Chasm Sovereign, they will grant you partial Dream Master permissions in the future-not the share you have inherited but cannot use now, but permissions you can freely use.”

“Simply put,” Bluebird suddenly said, “you will become the King of Senlo.”

Dove nodded. “The Chasm Sovereign usually doesn’t pay attention to Senlo unless they intervene actively. Otherwise, your will is the fate of Senlo. In addition, you will be connected to Myriad Manifestations Heaven, and the Chasm Sovereign will allocate a World Secret Domain to you to help you quickly step into the Divine Dominion.”

Ashe was momentarily stunned.

Full support!

King of Senlo!

Help you become a deity!

Material enjoyment, spiritual satisfaction, power and status, future prospects-all considered. What kind of treatment is this! Moreover, unlike the Specter Seer, stepping into the Divine Dominion is not just becoming a Five-Winged Demigod but a Five-Winged Angel with the Chasm Sovereign of Senlo as a backing!

Although Silver Lantern also had to fight through a sea of competitors to secure this unique position, isn’t it too enticing?

Four Pillars, take note! If you could offer a price at the level of the Chasm Sovereign, I would have been your loyal Tactile Sense long ago!

More importantly, this arrangement revealed another crucial piece of information: the Chasm Sovereign might recover!

Although Ashe spoke with certainty, his plan still had significant uncertainties. Take the simplest problem: how would Ashe arrange the migration of millions?

Millions is just a number, but gathered together, they could overwhelm the Silent Spiral. Moreover, their accommodation, excretion, order of escape, and other management issues-each detail, if delved into, could make Ashe’s only designated butler, Igor, feel overwhelmed, let alone the fact that they are a group of Senlo people with different beliefs and no fear of death!

Different beliefs mean endless and uncompromising conflicts, and not fearing death means conflicts could erupt at any time! Even with the apocalyptic pressure from Silver Lantern and the escape route provided by the Void Gate, Ashe optimistically estimated that probably less than one-fifth of the people could escape Senlo.

The conflicts caused by hunger and beliefs could deplete them on the road until they perish. Besides, the transportation capacity of the Void Gate hasn’t been verified. Even if sorcerers continuously provide spellforce, can the spirit really sustain long-term operation? Tools also wear out.

Ashe’s escape plan is beautiful, but if there’s only a short execution time, it will inevitably turn into a grand funeral, with the Silent Spiral as the cemetery, Silver Lantern as the gravedigger, and Ashe, as the Cult Leader, serving as the priest, which is quite fitting.

Compared to the unpredictable apocalypse, perhaps being killed by fellow countrymen would better fulfill the Senlo people’s life value.

However, the Chasm Sovereign’s arrangement is equivalent to providing a fallback for the escape plan!

Doomsday will still descend upon the Land of Senlo, but it won’t compress all living space, and the Senlo people will have a place to retreat. As long as the news that the Chasm Sovereign can soon recover and reclaim the old land spreads, most Senlo people will surely be willing to defend their homeland, while during the migration, the cults that perish and the Four Pillars Cult’s non-believing sorcerers can escape Senlo through the Void Gate instead of being slaughtered by other cults.

Cults still wanting to realize their ideals will stay, while ordinary people unable to achieve their ideals will leave. Population reduction will not only alleviate the food problem but also, after this unprecedented upheaval in sixteen hundred years, the beliefs of those who remain will be more steadfast.

The Kingdom of Senlo, the Chasm Sovereign of Senlo, the Senlo people, and even Silver Lantern, will all start anew.

However, when Ashe looked at Silver Lantern, he found that instead of showing any excitement, she seemed somewhat desolate and regretful.
