Carefree Path of Dreams

Chapter 699: Son of Salvation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Only with divinity that was a constant accumulation through slaughter could an ordinary person be promoted to a Legend this fast!

Objectively speaking, the speed that Knight Luhn progressed at was indeed a little too fast, just like those Sons of Purgatory!

It could not be completely explained with a Legend’s inheritance. Instead, taking into account the Sons of Purgatory, everything would fit.

Hearing this from Harvest Lady Willa, Sunny nodded her head in approval. “Indeed. Although he concealed it very well, after I interacted with him for so long, I could still occasionally sense a trace of divinity in his body!”

While she was speaking, a look of struggle appeared on her face and she blurted out, “No... Sister, Big Brother is a good person!”

“Enough, stop being a nuisance, Little Sister!”

Anger and shame appeared on Sunny’s face, which soon changed to her pleading, “Really... Don’t harm him, alright?”

“Relax, Sunny!”

Seeing this, Willa stroked Sunny’s smooth cheeks with a look of affection. “If it was before, a Son of Purgatory who was a Legend would indeed be the target of extermination for various churches. However, the situation is different now. We’re all very interested in the suggestion proposed by the Knowledge God!

“Now, we all know that Apophis is not actually within the Purgatory. Furthermore, his true body has already been destroyed and he wants to resurrect in the body of a Son of Purgatory. Thus, in order to defeat him, the best method is using the Sons of Purgatory! They need to be sufficiently strong, have iron willpower, and unparalleled thoughts. They would then able to completely destroy Apophis’ will in the final battle!

“This Luhn can temporarily be a candidate for us to monitor!”

In the Gods’ opinions, the Sons of Purgatory would definitely not reject this proposal.

That was because their destinies had already long been determined by Apophis, and they were all vessels for cultivation. Divinity was going to constantly accumulate in their bodies and, in the end, would completely be obtained by the victor.

The final victor would then become the perfect carrier for the resurrection of Apophis!

Helping the Gods defeat Apophis was equivalent to helping themselves!

“I feel that... it’s alright.”

Goddess Sunny nodded. Discarding the subjective factors, Luhn was truly a very powerful Legend. Furthermore, he also had ambition and intelligence.

“For this, I’m going to hand it over to you. Coincidentally, there’s an opportunity soon!”

A slight smile appeared on Willa’s face. “In the Noether Kingdom, there are signs of a Legend Son of Purgatory. We’ll dispatch elites to annihilate them and observe this person in passing!”

“Noether Kingdom?” Sunny sighed. “This previously remote kingdom is already becoming more important among the continent’s humans.”

To the central regions with a dense population, the descent of the Evil Demons was unquestionably a huge catastrophe.

And after experiencing the disaster of the descent of the Gods, the human world was already in a state of misery and suffering.

However, the Noether Kingdom was pulled up due to this. Since it had accepted huge numbers of escaping nobles from the central region, it seemed about to outshine everyone.

At least, with the annihilation of several large kingdoms in the central region, its rank within human civilization was largely brought forward.

Similarly, the same was true for the Stan Duchy.

Controlling the Stan Duchy while also being a strong Legend, Fang Yuan could currently be considered a medium-sized force that could stir the winds and clouds on the continent.

If not, why would the Harvest Lady fancy him?

Just because of divinity? Such Sons of Purgatory were basically a dime a dozen in the entire world.

Only strength and talent could make a God cast a glance. This was the cruel truth of this world!

“Oh yes. Where is that Legend Son of Purgatory hiding?” asked Joy Goddess Sunny finally.

“In the royal family.” The Harvest Lady’s face was serious as she spat out the words.

“So it’s him!” Sunny shouted in surprise, suddenly understanding the plans of the Harvest Goddess. “There are too many implications inside. In the end, I’m afraid that the entire forces of the Stan Duchy will have to be dispatched, right?”

“Correct! Why must we annihilate this Son of Purgatory? First, he’s unwilling to listen to the oracle of the Gods. Second, our churches and powers also requires a secure rear!”

Gods also had human nature!

Especially after descending into the mortal world, they needed a safe base.

And the Noether Kingdom was the area reserved by the Harvest Goddess!

...

Noether Kingdom.

On the battlefield, the war between the humans and Evil Demons continued as before.

The Gods’ descent brought huge fluctuations to the humans through storms, earthquakes, and fires... Disasters were rampant, but the Evil Demons did not consequently vanish.

As long as the Nine Tier Purgatory was yet to be annihilated, the Evil Demons would naturally come forth endlessly.

“Since last time, when this area of earth cracked, the number of Evil Demons appearing has already lessened by ninety percent. This is the best opportunity. We have to push inwards in one breath and seal the cave!”

At the rear of the human camp, a general’s face had unwavering determination as he brandished his long sword. “Attack! Attack! Brave soldiers! You are not fighting for others, but fighting for yourselves! If you don’t bury these damned Evil Demons, there won’t be a day of peace here in the future!”

A simple speech usually contained wisdom.

Just like this time, many soldiers and conscripted militia hearing this angrily shouted loudly. They used all of their energy and once again brandished the weapons in their hands.

“Loose the arrows!”

Seeing this, the general was instantly gladdened, adding another fresh army into the battlefield.

Zap! Zap!

Immediately, accompanied with a dancing torrent of arrows, many Evil Demons collapsed.

This was a batch of archers that was especially trained by the Noether Kingdom, and the bow and arrows were all specially manufactured. They carried the power of magic and were able to penetrate the tough skin of the Evil Demons.

“Soon! We’re reaching soon!”

The morale of humanity’s allied forces shook the earth, and they quickly reached the front of the crack.

There was originally a mine here. But later, for reasons unknown, it linked with the Netherworld and became a spot where Evil Demons appeared.

In order to seal the breach, the kingdom had already prepared a batch of sorcerers. As long as they reached the boundary, they could instantly unleash spells, such as Turning Mud into Stone, to transform the exit of the cave into tens of thousands of tons of rock!

“Very good. Sorcerers, prepare...”

Seeing that the army has pushed the frontlines to the crack, the general became ecstatic.

Just at this moment, his eyes suddenly contracted.

After many Evil Demon corpses collapsed, a dilapidated camp unexpectedly appeared near the crack. There were even a few human captives inside.

Of course, the bodies of the captives were now full of injuries and seemed to have been used as food, many bones lying at the side.

“Damned Evil Demons!” The general’s eyes were bloodshot. “Kill all of them and take revenge on behalf of the kingdom’s people!”

A wave of soldiers rapidly charged forward, while the archers readied their bows to suppress the Evil Demons inside the cave.

“Transform Mud into Stone!”

“Giant Mountain!”

“Adhesion!”

Many sorcerers took action, and various magical glows sealed the crack in the ground.

Seeing that there was a possibility for the persistent Evil Demon crisis to finally be appeased, with at least more hope of safety in this region, the surviving soldiers rejoiced.

However, not long later, there was a sudden silence in a section of the frontline.

Instantly, this silence spread like an infection.

With the general’s extraordinary hearing, he even heard the cry of an infant.

“Why would there be a human infant on the battlefield?”

Not long after, his doubts were explained.

A messenger rushed over and carried a male infant wrapped in a flag. “Sir, this was found among the captives!”

“He actually survived within the encirclement of the Evil Demons. What kind of luck is that?”

Even this general gasped. “He must have had a very mighty father or mother!”

“But the frontline soldiers all think that he’s unlucky,” the messenger said with an embarrassed expression.

“Haha. If there’s a God of fortune, they must also be blessing us!” The general was unconcerned. “You see... Once he appeared, we defeated the Evil Demons and sealed the source of this region. Isn’t this fortune? I have decided to keep him. As for his name, let’s call him Heim!”

“Yes, Sir!”

The messenger lowered his head respectfully before instantly letting out another gasp. “This isn’t right...”

“What happened?”

After seeing this, the general instantly raised his eyebrows in displeasure.

“My demonic illness... is cured!”

The soldier looked at the back of his hand in wild happiness.

Being the frontline army fighting against the Evil Demons, the entire army was already severely infected. It was still not too bad for the Extraordinaries, but for someone like him, he actually already looked like a monster, especially his hands which were previously covered with black scales.

But at this moment, he raised his arms gleefully. “There was definitely still some just now, but it’s all gone. This must be a miracle!”

“Wait, it was still there just now?” The general himself was a little dazed by this unforeseen event and asked, “What did you come into contact with after? Everything! I need to know everything!”

“After... I have always been fighting on the frontline, other than...”

The soldier looked at the infant in his hands and tears suddenly erupted from his eyes. “Other than him... Sir! I haven’t done anything different other than carrying him!”

“This is a miracle. This is a holy infant that has been bestowed upon us by the Gods!”

He devoutely kneeled and raised the infant high up, a face full of tears. “Gods! You’re finally willing to lower salvation onto this world?”

Seeing this, the soldiers in the surroundings became agitated and crouched forward to hold Heim.

Instantly, a scene that shocked people occurred.

Their ingrained demonic illness immediately began to recover, even revealing normal healthy skin.

“Miracle! Heim!”

The tumult became louder and louder. Even with a general’s prestige, he was unable to calm the entire army.

In fact, he did not even think of this, instead crying with a face full of tears like the ordinary soldiers.
