Chapter 788: Ancient History
What a joke! Kang Song's attack sent him back in time, as if a bolt of lightning had struck his mind.
Divine Court and Seven Star Federation—these two names were unknown to the present world.
However, Lindsey had encountered these organizations' names in ancient relics during his adventures, even in the Forest Court.
The Eighth Stage Garden System that controlled the entire world was also crafted by the Divine Court, only to be abandoned later.
Now, hearing these names from the Deviators' mouths carried a heavy weight.
Especially their attitude towards the Divine Court and Seven Star Federation—it was as if these organizations were not just a thing of the past.
It was as if these organizations were right there, happening around them!
"..."
"And what do you mean by preparing to establish the City of Law?" Lindsey muttered, covering his forehead as he eavesdropped.
One of the Deviators standing nearby said, "Someone is preparing to establish the City of Law."
The statement was straightforward, and its implied meaning was simple.
The City of Law did not exist in this world at present because someone was preparing to establish it!
Upon realizing this, Lindsey's thoughts became clear.
Why was the scenery along the way so desolate? It was nothing like the grand war he had imagined!
Forget about the World Capital; the current City of Law was probably on par with the towns in the Hidden Frontier! A completely desolate place! The Deviators' actions were likely due to the builder of the City of Law being from the organization known as the Sons of Justice, which prompted them to come and investigate.
"..."
"Looks like these guys have been causing trouble since ancient times."
"When the City of Law was first established, the Deviators noticed this event and came to scout the area. Then, during the future grand war, the Extinction Crown and the King of the City of Law perished together. Now that the Deviators have revived, they immediately seek revenge on the Righteous One of the City of Law..."
"What a twisted fate!"
Lindsey stopped in his tracks, no longer moving forward.
With the help of Atmospheric Perception, he could hear their conversation from a distance.
These Deviators were figures from the past.
Lindsey decided to stay put and listen quietly to the corner, hoping to gather more information.
After a moment of reflection, Lindsey sat down on the spot.
Leaning against a rock by the mountain, he quietly waited for the gentle breeze to carry the distant conversation to him.
...
The Deviators packed up their camp relatively quickly.
After a quarter of an hour, they were ready and continued on their journey.
However, it wasn't until they had walked for a while that the leader brought up a topic of interest to Lindsey:
"Boss, according to the words of the Dark Child—the ancient wizard in the World Beyond is exploring the ancient Deities. If he succeeds, won't it become the greatest threat to us?"
The leading Deviator shook his head, "The power of the Deities is indeed useful, but it's just that—useful."
"We aren't those newly established Organizers. The power of the Abyss comes from within. Deviators, Dark, and Slaughter—no matter which path we choose, they are all broad roads leading to the final step."
"..."
After a brief silence, one of the Deviators laughed, "Hehe, the Ninth Stage?"
"Even the Extinction Crown
"They claim to have reached the pinnacle of the eighth stage and are about to enter the ninth. But what's the reality? Did they succeed?"
"We filthy Revived, born from these corpses, have never set foot in that realm!"
Hearing his subordinate's words, the leading Deviator corrected him:
"We are not without hope."
"Lord Ryan is already trying to integrate his rules into the entire universe. When the rules of the universe change, the living who die naturally will also have a chance to turn into living corpses and revive..."
One of the Deviators asked:
"What's in it for us?"
The leading Deviator scoffed:
"We Deviators are resurrected from death. When our very existence aligns with the laws of the universe, can you imagine what benefits we'll have?"
"..."
Lindsey followed behind, his heart heavy with complex emotions.
After all, the Death School he had joined was founded in part to deal with the revived dead.
Now the truth was out, and the cause of it all was right before them.
It turned out that even the revived dead were a result of the Abyss's influence on the world!
At this moment, the leading Deviator steered the conversation towards the construction of the City of Law. He spoke:
"Before we set out, I heard from Hilde that the Seven Star Federation and the Outside World have been fighting for so many years, and it seems like there will be a result soon. Will this affect us?"
The leader of the Deviators replied:
"In fact, our appearance has already caught the attention of the Divine Court and the Seven Star Federation, but they have more pressing matters to attend to."
"At this point, our plan has reached its most critical moment. That's why a member of the Sons of Justice defected to establish a city, and I brought you here to scout."
Another Deviator said:
"If that's the case, I think we should pay more attention to the Sons of Justice. The seven forces that make up the Seven Star Federation are currently being suppressed by the Outside World, but there are still top-tier eighth-stage existences among them!"
The leader of the Deviators shook his head:
"The Seven Star Federation was formed by wanderers after the Great Calamity. Now that they've been suppressed to this extent, they'll likely self-destruct soon."
One of the Deviators in the back was very confused:
"But then, why bother with these guys who are about to fall apart?"
The Deviator leader explained:
"You're mistaken."
"In the past, we could only hide and develop secretly in the spatial rifts of the Great Rift. But once the Seven Star Federation shatters, half of the universe will return to a state of chaos and disorder!"
"In the end, the Divine Court and the Organized Anchor are a clash of centralized powers. With our size, it's difficult to directly destroy them. But this disintegrating Seven Star Federation is naturally our best choice for expansion!"
"..."
"Stop!"
Suddenly, the Deviators in front halted.
Even from a distance, Lindsey's expression changed.
But his actions were a step ahead of the Deviators. Lindsey looked up at the sky, his gaze piercing through the distant clouds:
"This... what should I say?"
"Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land? Or enemies never part ways?"
A smile curved Lindsey's lips.
Because in the direction he was staring, a familiar presence finally appeared.
Hovering in the air was the essence aura of the Feathered Serpent!
