Chapter 424 Three Years Pass in the Blink of an Eye

Three years.

Three years have passed since the great war in the Cursed Lands ended.

The once blood-red cursed land has been transformed into a vast, azure lake.

A new kingdom has been added to the Orcish continent.

Kingdom of Gods.

In just three years, it became the largest kingdom on the orc continent, built on the site of the former Lion's Roar tribe.

The great war transformed the mountains and rivers. Atop the Lion Roar tribe's mountain, a sacred statue bathed in emerald green light stood majestically, with palaces built around the mountain and overlooking the lake.

The beastmen and the females called that mountain the Sacred Mountain.

Legend has it that a divine messenger and her seven beast husbands lived on the sacred mountain.

They are Lu Liufeng, the Lord of the Sky.

Naphael Nakan, the Lord of Ice and Fire.

Lord of Darkness, Duan Si.

The goddess of beauty, Yi Yuexi.

Mu Ling, the Lord of Time and Space.

Cecilia, the King of the Ocean.

Camus, the King of the Forest.

Legend has it that the other beastmen of the divine messenger perished in that earth-shattering battle.

The most famous of all are the three divine source sites of the divine kingdom, which were formed by the fall of three beastmen who were divine messengers.

Lapis Laerno, the Black Dragon.

Golden Kirin Hollen.

Fire Stream Phoenix Ryukas.

According to the records of the Divine Kingdom, the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan were the three guardian clans of the Beastman Continent. They sacrificed themselves to resist the invasion of evil and protect the Beastman Continent.

Although they perished, their glory remains in the Kingdom of God, gazing upon the messengers of God atop the sacred mountain.

In the realm of the gods, numerous legends also circulate.

For example, the divine messengers include not only the seven beastmen residing on the sacred mountain, but also Hethilda, the leader of the six-winged lion tribe, Himer of the scorpion-tailed tribe, Riley of the tree god tribe, Alvino of the ancient tribe, Kylian, the four kings of the Star Sea Plain, and so on...

But there are many legends, and many imposters.

In the Beastman Continent, only the seven Beast Lords residing on the sacred mountain are recognized.

Riley habitually lingers at the shrine and refuses to leave, and the beastmen there treat him as if he doesn't exist.

After all, he had been loitering for three years, and the beast lords couldn't do anything about it; they could only pretend they didn't see him.

Nakan brought over a pot of honey milk tea and earnestly tried to persuade him.

"The mistress hasn't returned yet. I will definitely inform you when she does."

"Why don't you go back to the Giant Tree Forest first? I heard your business is expanding rapidly, even crossing the Star Sea Plains to the Holy City. Dobin is overwhelmed with work, so you should go back and help out."

Riley lay on the deck chair with his hands behind his head and his legs crossed, gazing at the colorful lake outside the terrace.

"I'm not going."

He refused without hesitation.

"The business I'm in charge of is in God's Kingdom; other places are not under my jurisdiction."

Mu Ling appeared in a flash, poured a cup of milk tea, added some ice, and gulped down several mouthfuls.

"There's no use you staying here; the female master never intended to marry you."

Riley rolled his eyes.

"Then what right do Cecilia and Camus have?"

"They don't have a marriage certificate either, do they?"

"Besides, the shrine is so big, and so many unrelated people live there. What difference would it make if I were one more?"

He had absolutely no trust in them.

He had only returned to the Tree God Tribe in the Giant Tree Forest once, and the legend of the Divine Kingdom took shape. The seven Beast Masters were called Beast Lords by the beastmen of the Divine Kingdom and the continent.

No matter how hard he tried to promote himself afterward, no one believed him.

On the contrary, because of his vigorous promotion, many people seized the opportunity to insert their own names into the list.

Such as Hettie, Himer, Alvino, Kylian, and so on...

Even more unrestrained versions circulate on the mainland.

For example, the legend in the sea is that there are three dragonfish in one family: Canases, Cecilia, and Hecia.

The Star Sea Plains are said to have been passed down to four kings: Tolkien, Sylvanas, Theodore, and Kyrian.

There are even more versions of the divine kingdom; anyone who once lingered before the divine messenger has secretly circulated numerous versions.

“Cecilia and Camille… Hmph, shameless!”

Speaking of those two, Mu Ling gets angry.

In the beginning, when the divine kingdom was first established, in order to establish divine power and to make the orcs of the orc continent remember this great war, this invasion that almost destroyed them.

They created many versions of the legend.

Because of limited manpower, Camus transferred a large number of orcs from the Giantwood Forest to help.

Given the long history and rich experience of the Giant Tree Forest Royal Court, everyone felt comfortable entrusting him with the task.

Furthermore, at that time, everyone believed that Camus was the female's brother, not the beastman, so they trusted him implicitly.

But to everyone's surprise, he not only implicated himself, but also Cecilia, and it's unclear what kind of shady deal the two of them made.

The divine kingdom instantly transformed into the Seven Beast Lords.

Nafiel and Nakan, both members of the Serpent Clan, were even written together.

This version spread across the entire continent and even the ocean with lightning speed.

They can't change it even if they want to.

Yi Yuexi was directing the beast envoys to change the flowers in the vases throughout the temple when he saw Nakan, Mu Ling, and Riley huddled together again to pass the time, and shook his head helplessly.

He was truly impressed by Riley.

For three years, he has stayed here every day, never going anywhere else.

Camille would at least occasionally return to the Giantwood Forest, and Cecilia also returned to the Boundless Sea a few times, moving it to the Divine Lake.

Over the past three years, Yi Yuexi's temperament has become much more even.

With the female master absent, what reason do the beastmen have to fight and argue? Who are they fighting for?

Anyone who wants to come is welcome; let's bring some life to the quiet shrine.

Several eagle cries rang out, and the eagle landed in the divine kingdom to report to the council hall.

These eagles are orcs from Eagle Strait and Sky Tribe respectively.

Three years ago, the Eagle Strait Orcs arrived to lend a helping hand in the great battle, and later stayed to serve Lu Liufeng.

Lu Liufeng is now handling most of the affairs of the divine kingdom, and occasionally, Osiris within him will give him a few pointers.

But since the female master wasn't around, Osiris spent most of his time sleeping and didn't want to pay any attention to them.

Duan Si and Nafiel were in charge of the security of the divine kingdom.

Of the group, Mu Ling, Nakan, and Yi Yuexi were the most idle.

Of course, Yi Yuexi wasn't completely idle.

He was in charge of the aesthetic design and decoration of the entire shrine. He would change the decoration of the shrine according to the season and weather to ensure that the Queen could enjoy the most comfortable shrine, both physically and mentally, as soon as she returned.

As Mu Ling talked, she ended up hurting herself.

"Bring me the wine!!"

Nakan poured himself a drink and joined him.

After drinking too much, the two embraced and wept bitterly.

"When will the Queen come back? Waaaaah!"

"Waaaaah, when will the female master come back? I miss her so much, waaaaah—"

Riley sipped his fruit wine and said with a smile, "The Mistress doesn't want you anymore."

Mu Ling and Nakan cried even louder.

Yi Yuexi: "..."

"childish."

He rolled his eyes at them speechlessly, then turned to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, he seemed to realize something and looked in a certain direction with a blank expression.

"Female...female master..."
