Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

"And even if we push open the door, I believe we will eventually succeed, only we will no longer be ourselves."

Luo Xiu nodded.

The two drank one cup after another, and the [introducer] began to explain the structure of this world to Luo Xiu.

"The Gran Continent is very large, much, much larger than the Land of Divine Remnants."

“Although we can return once we take Dorrant out of the Land of the Gods’ Remnants, we’ve completed the mission, but I always feel there’s a better way to complete it.”

"Perhaps we can leave this world with the people we want to take with us."

“I once had a plan to have some people leave the Land of Divine Remnants first, increase their strength in the outside world, and then return.”

"Look, the Land of Divine Remnants is right here, in the lower left corner of the Grand Continent. Going out through the Luowang Sea, you'll reach an island inhabited entirely by succubi. A seventh-tier powerhouse once attempted to leave via this route, but there has been no news of him. I suspect there are at least fifth-tier demon gods on it."

"I remember in my last life, that seventh-tier ship magnate also took this path. Did he come back in the end?"

[The author] asked Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu shook his head.

[The speaker] nodded:

“He wasn’t my student. In fact, I had already advised him against it back then.”

"The fifth level of Demon God is a level of strength outside the Land of Divine Remnants, which is equivalent to the tenth level here. The two are simply not on the same level."

“Besides the Luowang Sea, there are two other routes. One of them is to escape from our west, that is, from the west of that cluster of small countries. I once had a student I trained named Lakol try to take this route, but when he passed through the cluster of small countries and arrived at the westernmost part of the Land of the Gods, he found there a sheer cliff with no top.”

"He tried to climb, but when he reached a few thousand meters, he felt a chilling place. I suspect that there is a species called the Bone-Eating Eagle up there. Even a juvenile Bone-Eating Eagle has the strength of a second-level Demon God, and it is almost impossible for it to break through."

"The last route is to go upstream from the River of the Sorcerers in Kanriel. No one knows where that river comes from. After my research, I think its source is a place called the Great Fog Marsh, where the races that live are not much stronger than us."

"Unfortunately, it's too difficult to swim upstream on this River of Warlocks. Even a seventh-rank Warlock can only swim a maximum of a thousand meters before being washed away by the river and turned into a pile of bones."

"Therefore, in fact, the most feasible way is still to defeat the three demons."

Luo Xiu listened quietly, then suddenly said:

Are there many Demons and Gods on the Grand Continent?

[The author] shook his head:

"Based on my research, there should be very few."

"They possess both primordial divinity and demonic nature, which greatly limits their reproductive capacity. Compared to the vast continent of Gran, their numbers can be described as extremely small."

"They are usually distributed in family units, with some families being strong and others weak. The demons who are besieging the Land of Divine Remnants this time should be from the same family."

Luo Xiu raised an eyebrow:

"What are they fighting for?"

"For the trial."

The author laughed:

"Yes, you heard right, for the trial, for such a simple and ridiculous reason."

"But it makes a surprising sense."

"For people of their level of existence, this continent is their playground, and everything on it is an object of their amusement. If one day they can no longer feel any joy, they might even... commit suicide."

Luo Xiu nodded.

This is similar to the previous world. When wealth is readily available, many people do indeed show signs of going astray. Moreover, in this world, the gods and demons have not only reached the pinnacle in terms of wealth.

"I don't know the exact rank of these three demons, but they should be at most at the fourth level of demon god."

"This is the restriction on rank in this world."

Luo Xiu nodded:

"If it's just a fourth-level demon god, I should be able to handle it."

[The author] suddenly revealed a smile:

"I have some good news to tell you."

"what?"

"The suppression I gained won't disappear immediately after I get my points back. There's a buffer period, which is one of the protection mechanisms to prevent those three lunatics from making a move before I've grown stronger."

Luo Xiu's heart stirred:

"So...they probably haven't fully recovered yet."

[The speaker] nodded with a smile:

"I guess so, since you don't seem to be under any pressure."

Luo Xiu took a deep breath.

He suddenly understood some things.

Regarding why the monsters in Rauwanpu retreated.

"Perhaps I could have been more radical."

Luo Xiu murmured.

[The narrator] continued:

"You can tell me about the current situation, and I think I might be able to offer some suggestions."

Luo Xiu then began to recount what had happened after his rebirth, giving a brief account of the general process.

These things surprised even the [author]:

"I didn't expect that adding skill points would make it surprisingly strong in the later stages."

Luo Xiu then mentioned the retreat of the Luo Wanghai demons. After a moment's thought, the [introducer] spoke:

“I understand, they’re not just afraid of you.”

"No matter what, there should be at least a seventh-tier monster among their subordinates."

"They are afraid of something else."

Luo Xiu blinked:

"Something else..."

"The gods."

The author's tone turned somber:

"A bunch of guys even more despicable than demons."

Luo Xiu noticed that when the [introducer] spoke of the gods, the hand holding the wine glass was clearly tightening, and the fingertips were even turning white.

Clearly, there's a story behind this.

Chapter 259 The Dialogue with Oneself (End)

"Before I figured out the origin of the Land of Gods, I didn't know that this place was abandoned by the Gods."

[The speaker's] voice was deep and resonant as he began to speak:

"At that time, Dorant was like someone trapped in a dead end, and something unexpected could happen at any moment. I was desperately looking for a way out to fight against the menacing demons."

"A chance encounter led me to discover the existence of the [Gods]. Considering that the human cultivation in Dorant relies entirely on divinity, I began to try to establish contact with the so-called [Gods]."

"Everything went smoothly at first. I made contact with the lower races of the Gods, the Valley of the Dragonborn and the Great Kanda Elf Tribe."

“We made a friendly deal; they provided us with some defective products from outside, and we provided them with a material called mica extract.”

"As our relationship deepened, I began to ask them about the existence of the [Gods]. They said they were unaware of it, and that the Gods who led them had gone far away to the sparsely populated continent of Gran. Unless the Gods contacted them, they could not establish contact."

"However, they revealed some other information to me. In exchange for three hundred tons of mica crystals, they gave me a magic array to pray to the gods, but this magic array is not directional and may not find anyone."

“I should have noticed it then. They hesitated noticeably when they were communicating. Later I learned that as a lower race of the Gods, they had already signed a series of treaties with the Gods, and any insulting language about the Gods was prohibited.”

"The Gods are far less brutal than the Demons, but they are far more arrogant. They disdain communicating with lower races and their most proficient tactic is to sign a series of contracts that enslave the entire race for eternity."

"After obtaining the magic circle, I considered it and finally decided to set the communication location in the Luowang Sea, and to conduct the communication in a place close to the deep sea. When I input the first trace of magic power, I noticed the problem."

"The entire magic circle began to absorb the divinity in the air uncontrollably, as if it wanted to drain all the divinity from the entire world. I immediately stopped the transfer of magic power, but the magic circle still opened a tiny gap."

"I still remember that scene to this day."

"At that time, the sky above the entire sea was like a blue wave, which was a phantom formed by the sea under the influence of enormous magic. A gap the size of a palm appeared out of thin air in the phantom, and the divinity of the entire world began to pour into the gap. Everything gradually lost its color, and the sunlight disappeared."

"I rushed to the gap, trying to block it, and then I saw a face in the gap."

"Only a corner of the face was visible, and a bright green eye could be seen looking at the world through the gap. Countless divine essences flowed into that eye, making it even more crystal clear and bright."

"He saw me, the corners of his mouth turned up, and then he placed his hand at the opening and made an opening motion."

"He wants me to increase the amount of magic input to widen the gap."

"Of course I didn't agree."

"His gaze immediately darkened, and then he placed his hand on the gap, a drop of water seeping from his palm."

"After the water droplet came through the gap, it instantly transformed into a towering water prison, enveloping all of us inside."

"The water was very heavy. Being in it felt like being in a quagmire, unable to breathe or move."

"The face was expressionless. It opened its lid again, and at the same time, a series of contracts were laid out in front of me, forcing me to sign them."

"After I refused again, he snapped his fingers, and the entire water prison became incredibly violent. The currents within began to surge wildly, like a meat grinder trying to crush us."

"In just a few seconds, twenty or thirty people died in the entire water dungeon. By the time the breach was closed, most of the students who were with us had died."

"They died painfully, right before my eyes. Several students risked their lives to save me in that incarnation."

As he said this, a trace of pain appeared in the eyes of the [Leader]. Even though hundreds of years had passed, and even though he had met countless people since he came into this world, he still kept every person he cared about in his heart.

Luo Xiu watched him stare blankly at the night sky without making a sound to disturb him.

Memory has two sides: joy or sorrow.

It's hard to imagine how complex and vast the memories in a person's mind must be after being reborn time and time again, and how they can't stop to rest no matter how much pain they are in.

This is a road that can only move forward.
