The devils have finally been driven back to hell once and for all.

But after this unprecedented catastrophe, the material plane is also scarred.

Those who survived dragged their tired bodies back to their homes in ruins, and even the temples that served the gods were now three out of ten. For a long time to come, everyone had to find a way to rebuild their homes, and with the population drastically declining, the gods had to put aside their struggles for a while. Many of the churches of the gods have been destroyed, and some of them are even in danger of being demoted, and they must find a way to ensure the number of their followers for the next hundred years, otherwise they may fall to the level of godhead.

The Sage Holocaust is not over yet.

In the realm of elves, the Spider God Queen is still secretly fighting with the elven gods, and the battle between Lady Silvermoon and Lady Night has broken out for the third time.

But.

Calm has returned to the city of Modo.

After repelling the invading demons, the mortals who served Sauron began to rebuild their homes, and the Windspear Hills became the most populous and prosperous place on the South Coast. Eventually, Sauron gave up on helping Golia claim the magical priesthood, as Mystra's power was too great.

Even more powerful than the Dreadgod of Demons.

Midnight had inherited the power of the goddess of magic, but since then, midnight has not been the midnight of the past.

The real name of each goddess of magic is 'Mystra'.

This continuation represents an overlap of personalities, and Sauron is not sure if it was Golia's victory over Mystra or the resurrection of the goddess of magic in her.

Golia's time to grow is still too short.

She didn't even have a thorough grasp of the priesthood of [Prophecy], let alone the priesthood of [magic], after all, Goliath was only a native, and she couldn't fuse divine power as easily as Sauron. And even Sauron, when he first acquired divinity, paid a great price to completely destroy the consciousness in it.

Goliath's growth takes time.

It will take at least a hundred years for her to fully grasp the prophecy and mage priesthood she now has.

The Sage Holocaust is coming to an end.

Sauron didn't want to see the 'Goddess of Magic' resurrect from Golia's body one day as a result of his own interference.

………………

It was a rare time of tranquility.

The power of the gods is rapidly recovering, some gods are still fighting for life and death, and some gods have begun to clean up the mess.

As the 'Lord of Death', Sauron's every move is under the intense attention of the gods!

No way.

He rose too fast.

And there are too many gods who have died at His hands.

The gods were suspicious of Him, and any action they made after becoming the Lord of Death was likely to cause them to think otherwise. Most of the veteran gods were on the lookout for Sauron, and getting involved in the fight between the Night Lady, the Silvermoon Lady, and the Goddess of Magic at this time was bound to cause them to react even more violently.

Do you want to do that?

Sauron eventually gave up.

Because this matter can be planned in the next thousand years and ten thousand years, and if he chooses this time, it may be another terrible battle.

Sauron's foundations are not strong enough for an all-out war!

Whether it's him, Vivian, Lillian, the eldest princess, or Goliath, almost all of them are new gods, and they still have too much to learn and digest, even if Sauron now has great divine powers, there is still a big gap between him and the Lord of Radiance in terms of true combat power.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been injured after only one fight with the Lord of Hell.

Little by little, time passed.

Sauron stayed in Arendelle for a long time, and Golia didn't say anything about it, because she knew that in the future, even if Sauron wanted to come back, he would only be in an incarnation.

The Fallen Witch eventually chose her own path.

Instead of trying to become a god with the power of the Plague Goddess, she chose to advance to the rank of Grand Arcanist and Wizard of Destiny, and in the end she was between the Grand Arcanist and the Gods, Corinna chose the former, and Sauron let her leave her mark on the Floating City, but still gave her a hint of divinity.

If one day Corinna gets tired of the mortal life, she can also try to regain the priesthood.

………………

The stars in the sky were greatly reduced.

But it has become very dazzling under the night sky, and the gods are waiting for the moment of return.

Misty Forest.

This was the last leg of Sauron's journey, having just arrived from the East through the Desert of Death to see the land where the Father of the Oak had left his divine powers, and the beautiful and passionate Dryads.

Sometimes Sauron thinks, too.

Has the Father of the Oak Tree fallen, or is it in some other unknowable way?

He thought it was more likely to be the latter.

Because if the Father of the Oak Tree had fallen, the Misty Forest would not have retained such a powerful divine power. But if the Father of the Oak hadn't fallen, it would be very likely that He was now approaching the presence of great divine power.

Sauron didn't understand.

It's as if there are many things in the infinite multiverse that the gods are also exploring.

Perhaps after returning to the Pantheon, Sauron could find some answers.

He was greeted by a beautiful group of tree spirits, and the leader of the tree spirits, Karina, offered him a gift, which was a golden seed.

"In order to fight the devil, we used the power left behind by our father."

With a hint of piety and excitement on her face, Karena handed the golden seed in front of her to Sauron's eyes, and said softly, "After repelling the devil, this seed appeared. ”

"The great Father of the Oak Tree may be telling us something."

"But we can't understand His will!"

Sauron reached out and took the golden seed, which contained some divine power, but did not have the will of the Father of the Oak Tree.

This seed may be able to give birth to a god.

But definitely not the Father of Oaks!

"There is already a forest goddess in the material plane, and even if you take root, you can't replace her." Sauron felt the breath of life in this seed, shook his head and sighed, "That's fine. I always had some chance with the Father of the Oak Tree. ”

"Let fate decide where you go."

Sauron stretched out his hand and swiped in the void, how powerful his current power was, and casually opened a crack in the turbulence of space-time, and then Sauron wrapped a trace of divine power around the golden seed in front of him, and then sent it into the turbulence of space-time. There is no room for it to grow in this world, and as a divine seed left by the Father of the Oak Tree, if it grows, its potential will be at least above medium divine power.

It has to be a world to give it room to grow!

Sauron has left a divine imprint on this seed, and it is only when he reaches a new and vibrant world that his imprint will disappear and this divine seed will sprout.

Fate will decide where it goes.

………………

The Sage Holocaust will come to an end.

With the last trace of energy storm gone, the power of the gods returned completely, and at the same time, the material plane also exerted an extremely powerful repulsion against them!

Dazzling golden light rose on the earth.

And there is no doubt that Modo City is undoubtedly the most dazzling in the material plane at this moment!

Lord of Death - Sauron.

The Dreadtwins - Vivien and Lillian.

The god of prophecy and mages - Goliath.

The Cat Maiden (Guide to the Underworld) - Lulu Meow.

Pillars of golden light rose above the city of Modo, and Sauron's figure appeared in it, as an existence close to the great divine power, the material plane's rejection of him was extremely obvious, and his divine brilliance was also the most dazzling in the entire world!

There are only three places in the material plane that have this kind of brilliance.

Lady of the Night.

Lord of Radiance.

Excluded from the physical plane at the same time, Sauron saw them, and they saw Sauron.

The gods were silent.

Because so much has happened in this catastrophe, they have gained and they have lost a lot.

"Brother!"

"Brother!"

Two beautiful figures, one black and one white, appeared, they rose with the golden light, one left and one right tightly held Sauron's palm, Vivien and Lilian looked at Sauron with joy and said, "No one can separate us anymore!" ”

The life of the gods is immortal.

They had countless hours to squander, Sauron smiled and picked up the two little girls, then glanced at Golia, who was looking at him tenderly.

It's finally time to take a good rest.

Perhaps, while accompanying these most important people in life, you can think about what you can do to make the world a more interesting place. He was so powerful that the gods were uneasy and panicked, and it was time to give them a moment to breathe a sigh of relief and dispel some of the hostility.

"Yes."

Sauron hugged Vivien in his arms tightly and said softly, "Don't worry about anything that will separate us anymore......"
