certainly demand a reward even if the
ritual fails they will still claim their
Duit is even possible that the situation
could worsen such as the arrival of a
malevolent deity that directly possesses
individuals this is reminiscent of a
tale Jang Chan once heard from Satan in
the lower levels a small village fell
victim to an invading nation and the
villagers collectively beseeched their
God for protection hoping that their
deity would Safeguard them however their
God remained unresponsive even after
they offered their entire herd of cattle
and sheep as sacrifices disheartened the
villagers abandoned their faith and
turned to Demons for Aid the demons
responded sending a hellish messenger
who annihilated every soldier of the
Empire without exception the villagers
rejoiced and offered the sacrifices they
had originally intended for their God to
this demonic Envoy proclaiming that they
would henceforth forsake their faith in
the Divine and instead worship the demon
the reasoning was simple during their
dest moment their God had ignored them
while the demon had come to their aid
yet the price the demon demanded was far
more than mere livestock subsequently
the hellish messenger slaughtered the
entire population of the village as
remuneration for its intervention this
is the nature of demons and the same
applies to malevolent deities ironically
this account was relayed to him directly
by Satan now I shall seek out xiaoya the
copper coins have been left on the table
outside the tower beyond the second ring
of the city walls icho had enclosed a
plot of land and constructed a house
Jang Chan found it quite perplexing why
spend so much money on such a venture in
truth it was not just ichio after the
completion of the Rex's main storyline
many players who previously lacked the
funds to purchase land began doing so
after all the rewards from Rex s main
quest were substantial it would be a
shame not to invest this wealth in land
just as Jong Chan was about to push the
door open his hand was unexpectedly
repelled as if his entry privileges had
been revoked he sent several messages to
icho but there was no response leaving
Jong chin utterly baffled could it be
that this fellow was napping and broad
daylight indeed at this moment icho lay
on a flat bed a glowing red candle
flickering beside his bedside oblivious
to the happenings of the outside world
he had succumbed to a deep Slumber and
entered a dream I in the dream he found
himself a top a colossal black pillar
surrounded by an unfathomable abyss and
swirling black mist numerous pillars
encircled the one on which he chos stood
arranged in an arc great chains adorned
the pillar all converging into the fog
above you have arrived W icho looked up
to see two immense suns in the sky no
they appeared more like a pair of eyes
chapter 219 the rise of the Goblins icho
took a deep breath I have come as
promised can we speak now candle Dragon
why have you chosen me the voice of the
candle Dragon continued chosen you no it
is not I who chose you I merely
facilitated your rebirth nothing more
why icho paused then who chose me the
candle Dragon suddenly amitt a
chuckle when the time is right you will
naturally come to know there is no need
for me to elaborate further for now you
must understand that your mission is to
save Humanity Perhaps Perhaps why say
perhaps icho brows furrowed since you
can grant me rebirth you must possess
the ability to Traverse time correct
with such power you should be able to
manipulate the future at will is that
not so the candle Dragon replied in
theory yes however you must first grasp
one crucial fact there is not just one
timeline the future is vast and
intricate attempting to alter the future
through the past merely creates a
branching path in the river of time this
Branch then evolves into a new timeline
but it is no longer the original one
