Chapter 1275: The Grand Finale
Half a month later, the entire Azeroth Continent shook when the united troops returned from the battleground in space, announcing the end of the war.
The celebration of victory made numerous people feel the joy of being alive.
Those people who lost their loved ones such as fathers, husbands, and sons fell into a long period of sorrow. The loved ones of the fallen heroes were saddened, but they were also proud since these people died to protect the continent.
It was the warriors’ duty to die in battle. For many warriors, being able to participate in the Holy War was an unprecedented honor.
In the center of the continent, many monuments were built on the Bali Island that was once engulfed in the smoke of war.
Human Emperor Alexander issued the edict, and the name of every hero who died in this war were engraved on the Eternal Godly Pillar, regardless if they were ordinary soldiers, advisors, workers, or supreme masters.
The Eternal Godly Pillar was about 10,000 meters tall, and it seemed like the pillar that propped up the sky. With eternal light shining on it, it stood tall in the center of the continent.
This godly pillar was strengthened by the godly power of Human Emperor Alexander who was an unprecedented master that entered the Realm of the God of Creation. Even if millions of years passed, and it went through snow, rain, wind, and frost, this pillar wouldn’t be damaged at all.
The names of the heroes who died on the battleground in space were engraved on the two sides and the back of the godly pillar in small fonts, and the Human Emperor’s writings were engraved on the front.
“The heroes of Azeroth who sacrificed themselves in the Holy War on the battleground in space will always be remembered!”
“The heroes of Azeroth who fought for the freedom and survival of Azeroth in the last five years will always be remembered!”
“The ordinary people, warriors, advisors, and masters of Azeroth who fought the Polluters, violence, slavery, and darkness during the Mythical Era thousands of years ago will always be remembered! They protected the love and justice on the continent!”
These writings would always shine a light on Azeroth, motiving every race and every creature on this magical land to protect this land that these heroes used their blood, lives, and souls to nurture!
…
After the Holy War, the Azeroth Continent was in a mess, and everything needed to be rebuilt.
With the deaths of many elite masters, commanders, advisors, and administrative officials, the power and order of the civilizations on Azeroth declined to a shocking level.
Fortunately, before the war, Human Emperor Alexander had united the entire Azeroth Continent. From the Chambord Kingdom to the Zenit Empire to the Northern Region Empire to the Azeroth Empire, a massive empire was born!
The benefits that the single empire brought to the people on the Azeroth Continent were visible.
When Human Emperor Alexander who had supreme prestige in this dimension issued an order, countless people followed. Even though there were speculators and ambitious people with ill-intentions, there wasn’t the soil for their plans to grow, and they couldn’t benefit from the overarching chaotic period after the war.
Also, from the heroes who returned lived, people learned that the Human Emperor had become the God of Creation. Like the stars in the sky, he inspected every corner of this giant land, and no evil could hide.
No one could challenge the Human Emperor’s status and doubt his decisions.
Now, Fei represented unprecedented power and prestige in everyone’s mind. He united the church and the state, and he was also the most powerful being who ever existed. No one could challenge him in this dimension, let alone on the Azeroth Continent.
With Fei on the continent, the chaotic period after the war soon passed, and Azeroth started to flourish in only half a year.
At the same time, Earth also got reorganized.
Under the push of Akara, Cain, and their disciples such as Oscar, the science civilization on Earth and the magic civilization on the Azeroth Continent collided and created bright sparks.
After getting invaded by the bugs, the laws of nature on Earth changed, and people could start cultivating warrior energy and magic energy.
The interesting thing was that compared to how the people on Earth were intoxicated by magic and other supernatural powers, the technology trend on the Azeroth Continent was even more hyped. For a while, many nobles on the Azeroth Continent were proud to have a TV, a fridge, a smartphone, or a tablet from Earth. It felt just like how Europe reacted when initially trading with ancient China and getting things like porcelains and tea and vice versa.
Such situations naturally boosted the trade between the two worlds.
Former Bishop of the Beast God Palace, Zhong Dajun, had become the only authorized dealer of Apple products on the Azeroth Continent.
Fei’s father-in-law, Bast, decided to retire from his position as the head minister of the empire and became the biggest dealer of magic items on Earth.
Since Bast didn’t cultivate warrior energy or magic energy, his hair was already all white. However, he was still a dashing old man. After Fei injected his body with godly power, Bast’s life was greatly extended, and he played with his grandchildren every day, enjoying his life.
Although this old man was no longer the Head Minister of the Azeroth Empire, he still had a ton of influence. He was the Human Emperor’s father-in-law, and his daughter was an official queen. His acquaintances and students were all over the world, and no one dared to mess with him.
Most of the 12 gold saints became supreme gods who were stationed at important locations even though the star power that empowered them during the Holy War disappeared. Brook who once controlled almost all the military forces on the continent also retired. Fei valued this straightforward man, and the latter was tasked with many duties. Due to these tasks, he didn’t have time to cultivate. Now that the continent was peaceful, he decided to hand over his control of the military and focused on his cultivation.
People like Golden Lion Lampard, Cech, and Inzagi disguised as ordinary people and toured the world, inspecting different areas for Fei.
If the bell on the central godly mountain in Sky City rang again, they would return in golden armor and battle for the Human Emperor!
Continental Martial Saint Maradona was severely injured, and he only had his soul left after the war. Fortunately for him, after Fei became the God of Creation, he was able to treat Maradona’s injury.
After Maradona recovered, he said farewells to Fei and enjoyed his life on the continent. Not many people had seen him, but his legends were still circulating on the land!
There were many such examples.
After Fei become the God of Creation, all the people who had been with him from the beginning benefited greatly, becoming the protagonists in many traveling poets’ stories.
Chambord City was now the holy land in many people’s minds. It was this small city that gave birth to the Human Emperor who saved the entire world. It was also the place where Fei tested the new policies that this world had never seen before.
The other races such as orcs, dwarfs, elves, gnomes, dragons and even the cold Sea Tribe entered a peaceful era; it was rare to see.
Every race addressed Fei as the Ancestral Emperor, and they didn’t dare to rebel.
After the war, these races obtained the same privileges as humans, and they received their most ideal habitats.
As time passed by, the populations of these races rose, and they all entered their golden age.
Everything was moving in the right direction under Fei’s hard work.
In terms of the Holy Church, it got the chance to continue. All the messy and chaotic shrines were united into one, and the dark forces inside the Holy Church were eliminated. All the versions of codes of conduct were condensed into one, and the Holy Church returned to its former self, focusing on helping those in need. Priests and godly knights traveled on the continent and promoted the Human Emperor’s dogma and kindness. After many years, the Holy Church finally represented light and justice again.
At the same time, the Undead Godly Palace was also rebuilt under the Human Emperor’s special permission. The former Undead Mage Hazel Bank and his partner Undead Bone Dragon Arthur who were hunted by the Holy Church had become supreme gods, and they had their own believers. The undead energy was used for righteous causes, and this branch of magic power that had been misunderstood for many years was reborn.
Every race on the Azeroth Continent was living their best lives.
With Human Emperor Alexander who was an unprecedented sage ruling this continent, it felt like wars had left this beautiful and fertile land forever.
…
“So, after that streak of power entered your body, you suddenly understood many things? You realized that you are the reincarnation of the daughter of the gods, and your body stored ultimate Yin energy. Only when Yin and Yang merge can I truly advance into the Realm of the God of Creation?”
Fei was holding Angela’s small hands, and Valkyrie Elena and Demonic Woman Paris stood beside them.
“Eh, perhaps Gao De His Holiness already planned all this before he died. He split his power as the God of Creation into two portions. One portion got to you, and the other portion was further split into two. One smaller portion is stored in my body, and the other smaller portion was inside the daughter of the Lord of the God Clan and the Lord of the Demon Clan. To become the next God of Creation, Gao Shang waged the war more than 1,000 years ago and obtained that girl of the God Clan. He couldn’t get the power out of that girl, so he could only turn her into a demi-bug by using the devouring and polluting abilities of the bugs. He was planning to take it slow…” Angela explained with a smile.
“Unfortunately, Gao Shang’s calculation fell short. Man’s power can’t exceed that of Heaven. Although Gao De His Holiness merged with the universe, he was once the lord of this universe, and his plans defeated Gao Shang in the end…” the Demonic Woman giggled.
The Valkyrie who had been silent suddenly commented, “I suddenly feel like that Gao Shang is pitiable.”
The Valkyrie didn’t participate in the Holy War for two reasons. One was personal since Fei didn’t want to see his lover die in battle. The other was that if he and the united troops got defeated, Fei wanted Elena to protect Angela and their closest friends, leave Azeroth, and live peacefully somewhere else.
After all, Fei wasn’t a complete sage, and he had his own personal interests.
“Hahaha! We should go and reveal the last secret.” Fei laughed and wrapped his arms around his three lovers. With a flash, they arrived in the grand godly realm.
Except for the sun that was radiating light in the sky, there was also a giant sphere of light in the center of the world.
“Let’s guess what is inside!” Fei released a streak of golden light and melted the godly blood chains around this giant sealed egg.
In the next second, the four entered the sealed egg.
The surroundings instantly dimmed.
It was raining in this space, and a few old hens were chirping, trying to find worms to eat underneath the wet grass.
Looking around, people could see fences made by thick wooden beams, many ragged tents, and a blacksmith workshop.
A sense of vicissitude permeated the air.
“How is this possible?” Elena was stunned.
This was the initial map in the Diablo World – [Rogue Encampment]!
“Hahaha! Now, I feel a lot better! Even God of Creation Gao De wasn’t a complete sage. Using his insane power, he created a new world and placed his descendants in it. Perhaps he foresaw a catastrophe in later years and hoped that his loved ones could avoid it. Eh, it is in line with my guesses. Elena, I’m now finally relieved. You aren’t an NPC created by codes; you are a descendant of Gao De His Holiness. He created this world with other people and dangers in it so that his descendants could reproduce and not lose power due to complete safety. The monsters from Hell were created by him to pressure and temper you guys. He hoped that you all could be brave and powerful…” Fei laughed.
Elena was a descendant of Gao De.
All the ‘NPCs’ in the first [Rogue Encampment] had their own intelligence and thoughts, much different from the NPCs in other maps and scenes. It meant that people like Cain and Akara were all living beings and not NPCs created by codes.
This settled one of the worries on Fei’s mind.
Fei was knocked out by a disk in his previous life and came to this world. It meant that he was probably chosen by Gao De, and that was why he could enter the Diablo World and get stronger. In the real world, he could absorb the mystical energy left by undead creatures and bugs; it was probably made possible by Gao De as well.
In order to counter the bugs, Gao De created a unique physique that could also absorb foreign energies.
Everything was prepared to defeat Gao Shang.
“Perhaps we should go and see the former God of Creation, Gao De His Holiness. Elena, let’s go and see your ancestor.”
…
-In an unknown dimension, 21st century on Earth-
Two boys who were about 1.7 meters tall were walking toward their school in a cheerful mood. They were brothers and also orphans, and they relied on each other; they had a great relationship.
They wore the same school uniforms and hummed the same popular song; they were filled with vitality and energy.
In the sky, Fei and his three lovers appeared.
With the laws of nature around them, no one could see them.
However, one of the two boys seemed to have sensed something and looked up at the sky. Then, he smiled and showed his white teeth.
“Big Brother, what are you looking at?”
“Nothing. I just suddenly feel like someone intimate is looking at me…”
