Within the Dark Forest, on the barren land left by the great battle, Lin Lei was collecting the spoils of war. A smile couldn't help but spread across his face: "So many precious treasures. Robbing and killing really is quite lucrative. Just by killing Ogavin, I've obtained so many treasures. I reckon that in Hell, this kind of no-risk business must be quite popular."
Soon, all the treasures were gathered.
"Two high-grade divine artifacts, one high-grade divine spark, plus four mid-grade divine sparks and five spatial rings." Lin Lei's heart couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Four mid-grade divine sparks!
If he added the two he had obtained earlier, Lin Lei now possessed six mid-grade divine sparks.
"These two high-grade divine artifacts..." Lin Lei examined the two divine artifacts before him. One was the Gotes Long Spear, and the other was a black dagger.
When Beirut killed Adkins before, he had only taken the divine sparks and left.
One of the two high-grade divine artifacts Adkins possessed had shattered, but the other, the black dagger, had fallen some distance away. Lin Lei had naturally collected it.
Lin Lei stored the high-grade divine artifacts and divine sparks into a spatial ring, leaving only five rings in his hand.
"I wonder what's inside the four spatial rings belonging to the mid-grade gods. I'll examine them carefully when I return to Dragon Blood Castle. And Adkins's spatial ring, besides the high-grade divine spark, might hold other treasures as well," Lin Lei thought to himself.
"Thank goodness I sensed the energy disturbance and came right away. Otherwise, this great opportunity would have slipped through my fingers," Lin Lei secretly rejoiced.
This time he hadn't just avenged little Casse. He had also obtained many divine sparks and divine artifacts. Lin Lei wouldn't turn up his nose at these treasures; naturally, the more the better.
"I was already in the Dark Forest, so I made it in time. If a divine-level expert from outside the Dark Forest wanted to fly here, it would probably take them close to an hour." Lin Lei believed that for the moment, no one else should have been able to arrive. After all, the preceding battle hadn't taken much time.
Lin Lei surveyed his surroundings: "But, I should still leave quickly!"
"Whoosh!"
Lin Lei immediately rose into the air, intending to fly south.
"Lin Lei, don't be in such a hurry to leave." A voice echoed in Lin Lei's mind, and simultaneously, a black-clad figure appeared before him—black long hair, black beard, none other than Lord Beirut, who had just easily killed Adkins!
"Lord Beirut." Lin Lei's heart relaxed.
A hint of amusement was contained in Beirut's gaze as he looked at Lin Lei: "Lin Lei, your harvest this time is quite good."
"I was just lucky. I sensed that powerful energy disturbance and wanted to fly back to see what was happening. It's just that my flying speed isn't fast enough. By the time I arrived, Adkins was already dead. I only managed to see the four of them killing each other," Lin Lei said honestly.
Beirut nodded. In Beirut's eyes, what Lin Lei had obtained was something he didn't care about at all.
"Lin Lei, there's one thing I need to tell you." Beirut got straight to the point.
"Oh?" Lin Lei was somewhat surprised.
Beirut said with a faint smile: "Back then, didn't I transmit a message to all the divine-level experts of the Yulan Continent plane, saying that the Tomb of the Gods would be opened in a thousand years?"
"Yes." Lin Lei was a bit confused. "Lord Beirut, are you going to change your mind?" Lin Lei sensed there might be some underlying meaning in Beirut's words and couldn't help but make this guess. If Beirut intended to do so, it would be understandable.
Now on the Yulan Continent, besides Beirut himself, both Sadista and Adkins were dead. The only high-grade god left was Qing Huo, 'Lei Lin'.
"No." Beirut shook his head. "It will still open in a thousand years, but Qing Huo and I have discussed it. Half a month from now, I will let Qing Huo enter the Tomb of the Gods alone."
"Only him?" Lin Lei was very surprised.
Beirut nodded.
"Lord Beirut, there are still other divine-level experts on the Yulan Continent." Lin Lei hurriedly said, feeling that what Beirut was doing seemed unfair to the other divine-level experts. After all, the others were also on the Yulan Continent; at least give them a chance.
Beirut shook his head. "No need. The supreme treasures within the Tomb of the Gods can only be obtained by those who have reached the peak of high-grade godhood. Ordinary low-grade or mid-grade gods who enter will at most obtain a single divine spark."
Lin Lei's heart stirred: "These supreme treasures are probably divine artifacts."
Beirut continued: "So, Lin Lei, help me inform Tarosha and the others about this matter. Whether they choose to stay or leave is up to them." Beirut still had some rapport with Tarosha.
After all, Tarosha had served as the manager for the first eleven layers of the Tomb of the Gods.
"I will definitely pass on the message," Lin Lei agreed.
Subsequently, Beirut parted ways with Lin Lei, and Lin Lei flew back to Dragon Blood Castle at high speed.
Upon returning to Dragon Blood Castle, Lin Lei first drip-blood认主'd all five spatial rings, carefully examining the items contained within. This examination did indeed reveal some quite nice items. Within Ogavin's spatial ring, there was also a fire-attribute low-grade divine spark, and within Gatengbi's spatial ring, there was an earth-attribute low-grade divine spark. There were also several divine artifacts.
From then on, Lin Lei possessed six mid-grade divine sparks and two low-grade divine sparks. Several low-grade and mid-grade divine artifacts, as well as two high-grade divine artifacts.
As soon as Lin Lei returned, he took inventory of all these items, which startled Dilia standing nearby. Later, Lin Lei explained the various situations in detail, which finally put Dilia's mind at ease.
In the courtyard where Lin Lei and Dilia resided, Lin Lei was drinking cool fruit wine.
"That Ogavin is finally dead," Dilia sighed with relief.
"He's dead. Once Cini knows this news, he should feel a bit better." In his heart, Lin Lei actually felt that the descent of those powerful beings from the Gobad Plane Prison was a disaster caused by him, Olivier, and Desly.
