Chapter 323 -321-The Chaos After Becoming Deity
King had a clear knack for storytelling, his knowledge of the history of Deityforsaken Land was detailed and profound.
His voice echoed with the solemnity of ancient scriptures:
"Decades of millennia ago, perhaps even longer, people had ventured into the Deityforsaken Land. Some, in their quest for divinity, chose to remain. At first, none sought to erect cities; after all, they were pursuers of power, and to become deities was their sole pursuit."
"Power, wealth, sensual pleasures—they meant nothing to the mighty. They were but dross. However, the path to becoming a deity was arduous, especially so for the corporeal ascent to divinity. Over time, not a single soul achieved this exalted state."
At this juncture, a sneer twisted upon King’s face.
Ethan nodded subtly, a quiet ridicule in his gesture.
How ludicrous it was! A heart set on divinity, yet every effort fruitless.
Instead, they wiled away the years in the vast expanse of the Deityforsaken Land.
King pressed on, "Time etched deep marks upon them, and they felt their journey shouldn’t be in vain. Thus, by then, there were those who wished to depart the Deityforsaken Land. After all, it was a place rife with danger and ennui, scarcely fit for habitation."
"Time left its indelible marks upon them, convincing them their journey shouldn’t be for naught. Hence, some had the desire to leave the Deityforsaken Land. But they found, perhaps due to the prolonged stay within its bounds, that they were marked by divinity and the Rune of Law. So the portals from Deityforsaken Land to the outer realms would not grant them passage."
"Oh?" Ethan couldn’t help but interject, "Is that so? Where exactly is this portal located?"
