Chapter 256 - 204: Reawakening of Deities, Secrets of the Dragon Race
’No wonder the mortal races weren’t the least bit panicked, even after I caused such a huge commotion by gathering all the Sub-dragons and Dragon Species on the continent.’
’So, this is what they were waiting for?’
Lince could understand if commoners and the Nobility were ignorant of Deities.
But the Royal Family and the Emperor Race—those Kings and even emperors who possessed divine Bloodlines themselves—must have known the truth.
So, Lince now finally understood the real reason they hadn’t panicked.
Still, the thought that there might be a large number of Demigods remaining in the mortal realm of the Oakland Continent was actually good news for him right now.
’There were Deities, and there were Demigods.’
’The Oakland Continent’s fighting force wasn’t fractured.’
’In that case, he would have plenty of help for tackling the other worlds he intended to pioneer through the True Game.’
’And as for the God of Truth, judging by the current state of his revival... the guy was actually a being of Medium Divine Power.’
’Not bad at all!’
As Lince was thinking this, he gave a slight nod of his massive draconic head toward the three bowing Demigods.
"Go on with your work."
Hearing this, the three Demigods no longer hesitated.
In an instant, their bodies had descended into the Divine Kingdom.
Meanwhile, inside the Divine Coffin they surrounded, the flesh-and-blood Divine Body of the God of Truth had been fully restored.
The moment the Divine Coffin entered the Divine Kingdom,
the God of Truth’s Soul Spirituality, wrapped around his Divine Format, could be seen descending abruptly from the dome of the Divine Kingdom.
In the next moment, like a shooting stream of light,
the deity’s Soul Spirituality returned to its flesh, and the Divine Format sank smoothly into the forehead of the God of Truth’s body.
Right before Lince’s eyes,
a pair of hands pushed the Divine Coffin open from within!
After more than three thousand years, the God of Truth, who had fallen, finally reclaimed his divine station.
"My Lord!!!"
"My Lord, you’ve finally... SOB... SOB..."
Seeing the revived God of Truth, the three Demigods were moved to tears.
Seeing the state of the three Demigods, clarity slowly returned to the God of Truth’s eyes, and a gentle expression appeared on his face.
"You have all toiled hard over these long years."
"Rest for a while."
After offering a few words of comfort to the three Demigods, the God of Truth turned his gaze to the Giant Dragon outside his Divine Kingdom.
The next moment,
like a shooting stream of light, the God of Truth appeared outside the Divine Kingdom.
"I, Zolan Stein, the God of Truth, offer you my deepest gratitude."
"If not for you, my revival would have taken many more years—if it could have happened at all."
"For this, you have earned my respect."
The God of Truth spoke with composed gravity, his expression solemn as he gave a deep bow.
Seeing his attitude, Lince’s expression turned slightly peculiar.
After a moment of contemplation, Lince suddenly asked, "So, Stein, you know I’m not him?"
The God of Truth looked up, slightly stunned by Lince’s direct question.
He then looked at Lince and said with a hint of bitter melancholy,
"You certainly get straight to the point."
"However, there’s no reason to hide this. After all, you are now the heir to the Dragon Race; you have the right to know everything."
"As for the situation with that individual and the Dragon Race, we Deities of the Oakland Continent are more or less aware of it."
"So, allow me to enlighten you."
Lince, of course, did not object.
The God of Truth immediately began to tell Lince everything he knew.
Through their spiritual communication, Lince quickly learned all that the God of Truth had to share.
Around the time of the second Black Flame invasion of this world,
the Space Dragon, Sedfriig, after dealing with the Black Flame Creatures invading the Oakland Continent, had left instructions.
As he was about to enter the Black Flame World to try and solve this great menace once and for all, he stated that if he did not return, the Dragon Race was to leave the Oakland Continent.
According to the Space Dragon, this calamity was one the Deities of the Oakland Continent had brought upon themselves.
If even he could not overcome it, there was no need for the Dragon Race to defend Oakland World to the death.
Moreover, the Dragon Race had already done more than its duty.
Therefore, the Dragon Race would be led away by the other two Ancient Dragons to find a new home.
That was right.
The Dragon Race were not native to the Oakland Continent.
As for where they came from, the God of Truth did not know, nor was it possible for him to know.
In any case, there was one thing the Deities of the Oakland Continent did know.
The Space Dragon had, indeed, fallen.
And the fate of the entire Dragon Race was likely not much better.
Roaming the Star Realm in search of a new home was far easier said than done.
Moreover, just before the Black Flame portal opened for the final time, the Deities of the Oakland Continent had discovered a dragon, whose power was comparable to a Powerful Divine Power, returning to Oakland World in a broken body on the brink of death.
The dragon revealed that after searching for a new home for roughly one thousand Oakland years, the Dragon Race had been suddenly ambushed and hunted across the Star Realm by Black Flame Creatures.
Of the two Ancient Dragons, the Fiery Sun Dragon fell first, followed by the Frost Dragon.
The entire Dragon Race had scattered across the Star Realm, fleeing for their lives.
But amidst this calamity, this Dragon God also delivered a startling piece of news.
Thankfully, before the Space Dragon had even entered the Black Flame World, he had made a pact with some great and powerful being on behalf of the entire Dragon Race.
Because of this, the heritage of the Dragon Race could be preserved.
When the time came for the Dragon Race to rise again, their successors would naturally emerge.
At that time, the entire Oakland Continent might be saved—but only if the Deities and the continent itself could hold on until that day.
And this was the source of the determination that allowed the Deities of the Oakland Continent to make the ultimate sacrifice to seal the breach.
Furthermore, just moments before the Deities of the Oakland Continent performed this heroic feat over three thousand years ago, they had all sensed a subtle, fated shift within Oakland and had even heard a voice.
