Hearing An Ge's question, the butler frowned. "If I said I didn't know, Lord An would definitely think I was joking. But actually, I really don't know."
I've been in this castle since I became conscious. Vampires have long lifespans, but mine are even longer. In my memory, I've been in this castle for at least several thousand years.
I once considered leaving the castle, but once I stepped outside its walls, a powerful force would pull me back. Eventually, I gave up on the idea.
“That’s strange. From what you’re saying, it seems that only gods can have this kind of power,” An Ge analyzed.
"Who knows? Actually, staying in the castle isn't so bad; I've gotten used to this kind of life."
An Ge didn't make any promises. In fact, she really wanted to take the housekeeper with her. If her inn had a housekeeper, Hu Jiu wouldn't have to be so stressed.
However, these are all things for the future; she is not yet capable of confronting the gods head-on.
One day, she will definitely storm into the realm of gods and knock out the teeth of this god of darkness! An Ge made a grand vow in anger.
An Ge was unaware that the moment the statue shattered, even the high and mighty deity sensed it.
The realm of the gods, the city of Lister, is the dwelling place of the gods.
At the gods' banquet, Rhodes, the god of darkness, who was chatting and laughing with other gods, suddenly changed his expression. He could sense that a statue in the lower realm that collected power had been destroyed.
Rhodes closed his eyes and tried to sense it, but the more he sensed it, the uglier his expression became.
He scattered many idols, but that particular idol was one of the places he valued most.
The believer had previously said that he had found good nourishment for himself, but he did not expect that he would not succeed even after he used a lot of power of rules.
He didn't believe the believers' claims about the nourishment being anything special, so he stopped worrying and just waited for a new batch of players to come and provide him with energy. Unexpectedly, what he received was news that his idol had been destroyed.
Rhodes was certain that not only were the idols destroyed, but his followers were also likely in grave danger.
Who is it! Rhodes opened his eyes, his gaze filled with rage.
The deity sitting next to him carefully shifted his position; this deity was not known for his good temper.
After the banquet, Rhodes found the goddess of nature. If he remembered correctly, this deity seemed to have developed followers in the same plane as him.
"You said something's off?" Belinda, the goddess of nature, changed her expression. "There is something off. Lately, I've sensed that the power of faith in that plane has almost disappeared. If it weren't for the fact that now is not the right time, I would have gone to check it out long ago."
What? From what you're saying, you're having a problem too?
Rhodes nodded. "One of my idols has been destroyed."
"Do you think it could be the work of those gods from the East? They've always felt that our divine power doesn't match our title, so could they be starting to attack us through our followers?"
Rhodes thought for a moment and shook his head. "I don't think so. Our two cultivation systems are different. They place more emphasis on merit and rarely develop followers. Besides, there is a peace treaty between the two sides. If they were to take action, they wouldn't keep it so secret."
Rather than worrying about them, we should worry about the work of our chosen ones. That is to say, there may be chosen ones capable of wielding the powers of nature and light. This is a tremendous threat to us.”
Belinda's delicate face twisted slightly. "I will never allow any more gods who control the power of nature to appear."
The gods of the East also possess natural powers, which is why they believe their title of Goddess of Nature is self-proclaimed. If another deity with similar powers were to appear, her position would be even more precarious.
"Don't worry, Belinda. Quite a few of the chosen ones die along the way. We'll investigate that continent thoroughly when the gods descend again."
Unlike Belinda's anxiety, Rhodes believed that the one who destroyed his idol was simply a chosen one with the power of light. Even if that person became a god, it wouldn't pose much of a threat to his identity.
It's just a matter of having more enemies. Doesn't he already have enough enemies?
Moreover, newly born gods are very fragile; I can just eliminate them beforehand.
Belinda knew exactly what Rhodes was thinking. She sneered, "Rhodes, don't let your guard down. In my experience, this is just the destruction of the idol. In the future, your faith in this plane may also be lost."
Rhodes's expression changed. "You don't need to worry about that. Even without vampires, I have other options. You should worry about yourself."
The two gods parted on bad terms, a phenomenon that frequently occurred in the land of the gods.
Gods, regardless of their original race, will inevitably engage in both cooperation and conflict even after becoming gods.
An Ge was unaware that because of her actions, she had already caused great harm to the two gods before they even met.
As she watched the butler carefully lock the forbidden area's gate, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "There's no danger here anymore, why do you still need to lock the door?"
Guan Ke hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth: "This place may not have been dangerous before, but now it has become a real forbidden area."
"Huh? Why?" An Ge asked, bewildered.
Butler: "...Lord An, have you forgotten that we are vampires and do not like the power of life?"
An Ge suddenly realized, then scratched her head somewhat awkwardly, "Haha, I forgot. How about this, I'll move all these plants away. This is, after all, a vampire graveyard, it wouldn't be good to disturb the sleeping vampires."
The butler stopped him, saying, "No need. The vampire graveyard here is also a threat to the castle. Having these plants will at least be a good thing for the future lord of the castle."
Ange raised an eyebrow. "You really don't want to leave the position of castle lord to Il? Perhaps a hundred years from now, Il's abilities will have increased, and he will be able to take on the role?"
She felt that the butler's identity was more mysterious than Martin's. If he wanted, the castle might not necessarily have a new master in the future.
The butler patted Il's head. "No need. Becoming the lord of this castle might not be a good thing for Il. Although the statues have been destroyed, the gods are still here. Who knows what will happen here in the future?"
"Lord An, although this is where I used to live, my parents' great revenge has been avenged, and I have no attachment to this place." Rather than attachment, Il felt that this place held many painful memories, and he loathed it even more.
Ange looked at Il, who was blinking his big eyes, and felt a surge of tenderness.
It has to be said that vampires are truly a gift from the Creator in terms of appearance. Even Martin, just looking at his face, she has to admit he's a very handsome man.
Compared to Hu Jiu and his group, the vampires possessed an air of mystery.
Even though little Yil hasn't fully grown up yet, you can already see what she'll look like in the future, captivating countless young girls.
