This Necromancer Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1655: Legend of God King Matthew 453_3

The Traveler God Mo Song’s chosen one Matthew also looked somewhat familiar, likely because they were all previous Subordinate Gods who had given up their divine personas and reincarnated from the Heavenly Family Palace to the material world;

Tyraste’s selection was also no surprise to Matthew—

It was solely composed of powerful members of the elven race.

And there was a Beanna!

It was Matthew’s turn.

Matthew attempted to designate Rheager or Mr. Zeller, but he found he had failed.

...

Then he drafted a list according to the guilds of spells’ roster and the order of those closest to him, sending out his invitations accordingly.

Only five people responded immediately.

They were Lorraine, Claire, Margaret, Hibbert, and Lumiere.

The first two chose to agree in an instant;

The latter three rejected the offer just as quickly.

This result didn’t surprise Matthew very much.

Margaret and Hibbert were both highly spirited spellcasting geniuses, and, though many spellcasters wished to become gods, due to the influence of the Calamity Mage, there were still quite a few exceptions.

But Lumiere also didn’t want to become a god?

Matthew felt surprised, but he also respected their choices.

After listing Lorraine and Claire as part of the first batch to enter the Heavenly Realm as Subordinate Gods, Matthew set about finding a third candidate.

He tried to summon Sif with the temporary divine power generated by the burning Divine Fire of Retaliation.

But that too failed.

This cast a shadow over his heart.

Ultimately.

Matthew temporarily set aside the selection of the third Subordinate God, deciding to wait for others to respond to him.

As each Subordinate God’s selection got confirmed,

The space below Lost Paradise also filled with numerous ethereal shadows.

Those were projections of the Subordinate Gods.

They had not yet ascended to Lost Paradise, but they could share in the glory of this Ascension alongside their Main God by means of their projections’ perspectives.

For a time,

Lost Paradise was bustling with shadows, becoming lively with their presence.

It was indeed peculiar.

Previously, everyone had their own grievances, but now, seated together on the same spaceship headed for the Heavenly Realm, they shared a sense of harmony and joy.

In the pull of Ascension,

Past grudges seemed to dissipate into nothingness.

Smiles adorned everyone’s faces.

Even the projections of the Subordinate Gods were smiling.

Lost Paradise continued to ascend.

Before long,

It had left the material plane—

The marvel of the Eternal Barrier lay just in that.

Entering required passing through barrier after barrier,

But the exit was unobstructed and free.

Suddenly,

The backdrop outside Lost Paradise transformed into a resplendent starry sky.

At that moment,

The flickering stars in the distance seemed to celebrate the birth of the New God.

Lost Paradise ascended with increasing speed,

And the starry sky was left behind.

Matthew struggled to adapt to the sensation of being ceaselessly propelled upward.

The backdrop around him had now turned into a bizarre and colorful aurora.

Some aurora stretched long and slender, while others flashed by in an instant.

The auroras formed a sky full of ever-changing patterns, and occasionally, faces of people or images of mountains, rivers, and streams flashed across this canopy.

That sensation,

It felt like traveling through a tunnel of space and time.

Matthew could hear no sound, nor could he feel anything with his body.

What he saw before him remained the scene when Lost Paradise had just entered the aurora belt.

Smiles were on everyone’s faces.

Those smiles were certainly genuine, brimming with heartfelt happiness.

But after looking for a while,

Matthew felt there was something peculiar about them.

However, this sense did not linger for long.

Soon enough,

The aurora belt too was far surpassed by Lost Paradise.

They surged toward the highest point of the universe,

After passing through a long expanse of vacuum,

Matthew suddenly saw a white light.

The white light shone into Lost Paradise,

And a warm sensation arose in everyone.

That was—

The Heavenly Family Palace!

Suddenly,

Everyone came to their senses, as if awakened.

Time started to flow again.

They saw the mountains floating above their heads,

Upon the peaks of these mountains,

The palaces of the old gods were arranged in order from the highest downwards.

At the very top was the most imposing Sun God Palace,

Followed by the War God Palace, the Storm God Palace, and the Knowledge God Palace.

After that were the Enlightenment Hall and the Fire Seeds Hall, reinforced by countless other divine palaces…

Such a scene was so grand and magnificent,

That even now in Ruin,

Those witnessing it could imagine the splendor that once was!

Matthew saw the Bai Yun above the mountains,

And also the grasslands and lakes below them,

As well as the lush green forests.

At that moment,

He finally realized,

The illusions he had seen in Lost Paradise were indeed a true reflection of the Heavenly Family Palace!

This was once the Heavenly Realm.

And it was soon to become an abandoned Ruin!

Lost Paradise was still rising,

They crossed the deserted Heavenly Family Palace and flew even higher for a while.

Time seemed to stretch unendingly long,

Long enough for the smiles to fade from people’s faces,

Replaced by unease and worry about the unknown.

Suddenly,

The upward momentum of Lost Paradise was interrupted by a mighty force.

Boom!

A flood of Divine Fire fell from Lost Paradise, the whole space shaking violently!

Everyone looked up in shock,

To see a solitary figure standing on an isolated island above the Heavenly Family Palace.

She looked far from Lost Paradise,

But felt very near!

"So there are new lives desiring to become gods?”

A faint female voice echoed throughout Lost Paradise:

"But remember, to become a god, a price must be paid.”

Her voice was soft and fine,

But it weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts.

At that moment,

Everyone’s breathing halted.

They had come to realize the true identity of this solitary silhouette!
