Book 13, Gebados – Chapter 2, Departure
Beirut continued, “In the Gebados nar Prison, 99% of experts will die from either the environment or be killed by others. But despite that, the number of experts in the Gebados nar Prison is still astonishing. All of these experts share amon desire!”
“To leave the nar Prison!”
“In the material nes, upon reaching the Saint level, one is qualified to leave the material ne and head to the Divine nes and Higher nes. However, in the nar Prisons, even if one bes a Highgod, one isn’t qualified to leave.” Beirut sighed.
Linley, Desri, and Olivier thought back once more to that scene when the Great Botha Levee had been broken open.
“Back!”
“We are back!!!”
Those crazed, overjoyed calls still reverberated in their ears. From those voices, Linley couldpletely sense the excitement and joy of those experts who had just fled from the nar Prison.
“So if one is imprisoned, one will never be able to leave, ever?” Linley asked.
“Of course not.” Beirut shook his head. “After being imprisoned into the Gebados nar Prison, there are three methods by which one can escape. In addition, ording to the rules, once one has escaped, even the nar Overseer isn’t qualified to imprison them into it again.”
“Three methods?” Linley was rather surprised.
So it was not only possible to escape, there were three methods for doing so!
“The first method is to reach the level of Highgod, and then chop a dimensional hole in the nar Prison, then enter the realm of chaotic space between nes. It is a matter of luck. Highgods can remain alive for a fairly long period of time within the chaotic space. If they are lucky, they might be able to flee to another ne. If they are unlucky, they will die within the chaotic space.
Linley’s heart shook.
After training to the Highgod level, one could go try their luck in chaotic space?
Chaotic space was the most dangerous ce of all. Going there was nothing short of throwing one’s life away.
“But of course, although this method is the simplest, there aren’t many who dare to try it.” Beirut continued. “The second method. Because the Yn ne and the nar Prison are two sides of the same whole, aside from the dimensional gates that link them up, there are quite a few ces where the two nes touch.”
“The ces where these two nes touch are known as areas where the walls of reality are thin!”
Beirut chuckled. “Much like two pieces of paper that are folded between each other. If an expert is in the nar Prison and is able to tear a hole, he’ll be able to escape through that temporary hole. They’ll instantly charge through that hole, which will instantly repair itself afterwards.”
“That Dylin, Beaumont, and those other experts who came to the Yn ne a few years ago all used this method toe to the Yn ne.”
Linley now understood.
“Actually, every single area where the nar walls are weak has been sealed off. They won’t be easily broken through.” Beirut sighed. “The Gebados nar Prison and our Yn ne have, in total, nine ces where the nar walls are weak. All nine of those ces had been sealed. But Linley...”
Beirut looked at Linley. “When you were young and entered the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, didn’t you draw out a sword?”
Linley immediately thought back to the scene of his trip to the Foggy Valley. In that ce, he had awoken the Dragonblood in his veins, and also had discovered Bloodviolet. At that time, when Grandpa Doehring had seen the enormous magical formation which Bloodviolet had been stuck into, he had been shocked as well.
That formation was even more powerful than Saint-level magic formations.
“Lord Beirut, are you saying...?” Linley, utterly shocked, stared with round eyes.
Beirut nodded. “Right. When you drew that sword out, the magical formation which surrounded Bloodviolet naturally was damaged. There are many people in the nar Prison, and naturally there were people in the area near the weak nar walls. Dylin was there as well. He was the only Deity located close to it. Naturally, he was the first to discover it, and thus he arrived in the Yn continent.
“It was me. It was actually me!!!”
Linley’s mind was in a state of utter chaos.
So the reason for the Apocalypse Day has been his pulling out of Bloodviolet. The descent of so many outsider experts also had to do with him as well.
He now began to understand why it was that Dylin’s three children, the Six-Eyed Golden Ni-Lions, had thanked him.
“These areas with thin nar walls are very hard to find. Thus, onlyter on, people slowly began to flee into the Yn ne.” Beirut sighed. “At that time, I was in no hurry to close it off. I felt that those people who had been imprisoned in the Gebados nar Prison were quite pitiable. It was fine if a few of them could asionally escape.”
It was lonely at the top.
In a ce like the Yn ne, who could possibly be a match for him? After discovering that Linley had identally damaged that great sealing formation, Beirut had actually treated it as watching an amusing game. He wanted to see how many could escape.
“The first method is throwing one’s life away. The second method is luck.” Linley and the others felt sad on behalf of those people locked into the nar Prison.
“The third method?” Linley asked.
Beirut nced at Olivier. “The third method is, when the poption of the nar Prison has reached too high of a level, then sometimes, the sealing magic formation will be temporarily disrupted, opening the dimensional gateway for a brief moment and allowing a few people out before sealing the dimensional gateway once again, then repairing the sealing magic formation, like what I did just now. But something like this happens only once every hundreds of millions of years.”
Linley, Olivier, and Desri all felt rxed.
Since the high level people would also asionally open the dimensional gateway, it seemed that Olivier hadn’tmitted too grave a sin.
This was just a premature opening, right?
“Those people who fled need to thank you.” Beirut sneered as he looked at Olivier.
Olivier remained silent.
“If I had voluntarily opened the gateway, I would have surrounded that gateway. At least I would have known the details of every single person who came out, and none of them would have been able to escape.” Beirut nced at Olivier. “Demigods and Gods aren’t an issue. I can find them with my divine sense. That isn’t a problem. But if there are some astonishingly powerful Highgods who lie in hiding, preventing me from finding them with my divine sense, then things will be problematic.”
Beirut didn’t worry about Demigods and Gods making trouble.
What he worried about was Highgods causing trouble!
“In such a short period of time, perhaps there didn’t happen to be any Highgods present at that dimensional gateway. It shouldn’t be that coincidental, right?” Linley said.
“Whatever. I can’t be bothered about it.” Beirut sneered coldly. “When O’Brien, Catherine, and the others return, I’ll see how they deal with this mess. The three of you, you better listen up. You are only Demigods. These days, in the continent, there are now quite a few people capable of killing you!”
Linley and the others could do nothing but listen.
“Go back.” Beirut’s body flickered, then disappeared.
Only Linley, Desri, and Olivier were left, standing there in mid-air.
“Olivier, that sword blow of yours really was powerful. You released so many experts in an instant with it.” Desri pursed his lips in a smile. He didn’t feel too much pressure. He was hidden away within a small mountain vige. As long as he didn’t offend others, he probably would be fine.
Olivier’s face was very gloomy. “Linley. Sorry.”
Linleyughed bitterly.
Of the three of them, he was the worst off. Olivier had released so many Deities, some of whom most likely would want to enjoy worldly power. How many problems would his enormous Baruch Empire face?
Linley didn’t even dare to think about it.
“All I can do is deal with it one step at a time.” Linley said. “Gentlemen, I’m returning to Dragonblood Castle.”
“I’ll go as well.” Olivier said. “I caused this problem. If anything happens in the Baruch Empire, I can’t just pretend it has nothing to do with me.”
“If the three of us are together, we’ll pose a bit more of a threat to others.” Desri said with augh.
Linley didn’t decline. Currently, in the Yn continent, the three of them were now just a small force. There were many people more powerful than them. Only if they stayed together as a group would they be able to have a bit of a footing. The three flew directly towards Dragonblood Castle.
................
Dragonblood Castle. A group of people were there, Delia included, all of them worrying. Delia was ming herself as well. “I’ve been fusing with this divine spark for over ten years, but I still haven’t seeded. Whenever something like this happens, it’s always Linley who has to go deal with it by himself.”
Delia wanted to help Linley as well!
“I hope Linley is fine.” Delia prayed.
“Lord Linley is back.” Gates was the first to shout out. Delia’s eyes instantly lit up. Wharton, Taylor, and the others all went to wee him. Linley, Desri, and Oliviernded in the castle.
“Linley, you seeded?” Delia immediately called out, and the people all fell silent.
Linley nodded with a smile.
“Haha, I knew Father would definitely seed.” Taylor shouted excitedly.
“But...” Linley’s voice rang out again.
“Father, you have more good news?” Taylor’s face was covered in smiles, but Linley said solemnly, “On this trip, although we killed Beaumont, shortly afterwards...many experts descended upon the Yn continent. Amongst them are many Deities who could probably kill Beaumont with a single finger.”
Utter silence!
Taylor, Delia, and the others had a look of shock on their faces. No matter how ‘weak’ Beaumont was, he was still a Deity. Kill Beaumont with a single finger?
“For now, it’s best if no one goes out. Everyone stay here, within the castle.” Linley instructed.
“Yes.”
The people of Dragonblood Castle now also sensed that the current Yn continent had just sank into a tempest of wind and rain. It would be very hard for them to just be able to protect themselves.
..............
The Arctic Icecap.
A white-haired old man dressed in a sky-blue robe was hovering at the peak of an iceberg. It was the nar Overseer, Hodan.
“Haha, so many experts came at once?” Hodan’s face was covered in smiles.
“Saints and Deities, I am Hodan, the nar Overseer. Everyone who wishes to depart for the Four Higher nes or the Seven Divine nes, quicklye to the Arctic Icecap!” Hodan’s voice rang out in the minds of every single Saint and Deity in the Yn continent.
Many of those who had fled to the Yn ne from the Gebados nar Prison wanted to head to the Higher nes.
They had been trapped in that detestable prison for far, far too long.
..............
“Second brother, you really are going to leave?” Two golden-haired experts were hovering in mid-air. The slightly thinner one was a little bit frantic. “Second brother, although we were trapped in that nar Prison for a hundred million years and you want to go to other nes, haven’t you heard? Ten thousand years ago, a major event urred in our homnd. That Necropolis of the Gods holds many treasures within it, including divine artifacts, and even divine sparks! If we go to another ne, we’ll have no connections, and even if there are treasures there, we won’t have a chance to get them.”
The muscr, golden-haired expert shook his head. “Third brother, we are very lucky to have escaped Gebados. And you want to go to the Necropolis of the Gods? Its treasures aren’t so easily acquired. Enough, third brother. I am preparing to go to the Infernal Realm. Whenever you are done with your matters, if you want to look for me,e find me in the Infernal Realm.”
The gold haired expert said nothing else. He directly flew towards the north.
The skinnier golden haired man watched his second brother leave. He murmured, “Second brother, just wait and see. By the next time we meet, I will definitely be a Highgod.”
..............
One figure after another flew in the air above the North Sea. They included full Gods and Demigods, but most of course were Saints.
“How are there so many?” Amongst the crowd of experts, there was a golden-haired, middle-aged man with a solemn face and a long robe. From his appearance, he clearly came from a noble lineage. He had actually only trained for a hundred years, and had just reached the Saint-level not long ago.
“Our Yn continent has this many experts?” This middle-aged man’s heart was quivering.
The number of experts he had personally seen had already been over two hundred. In the distance, even more figures could be seen. In addition, the auras emanating from those experts that flew past him in the blink of an eye made his heart shake.
“This speed...” The middle-aged man was stunned.
Many experts shed past him, disappearing into the northern horizons, almost all of them more than ten times faster than him, if not more. Many of them were Deities. The middle-aged man was only able to hazily sense their forms pass by.
“Haha, it’s been a million years. I finally am going to the Higher nes.”
“How many years has it been? Haha, I’m finally achieving my heart’s desire.”
.............
The skies were asionally filled with excited voices and conversations.
“A million years?” This middle-aged man who had only trained for a hundred years and had just be a Saint swallowed. Staring at those figures that were over ten times faster than him, he thought, “I...I...I’d best stay here at the Yn continent and continue training. The Four Higher nes and the Divine nes are simply too terrifying.”
This middle-aged man was so frightened, he immediately turned back and flew towards his homnd.
Not too long ago, this middle-aged man had just bid his family and friends farewell, and instructed his sessors to work hard.
