Dylin

Magical Beast Mountain Range, Mist Valley.

"Hahaha, I've finally escaped that hellhole!"

Dylin cradled his three children, and upon realizing he was back in the Yulan Continent, he laughed with delight. "Five thousand years! It hasn't been easy!"

"Father, I'm hungry."

The creature in Dylin's arms, which resembled a small kitten, spoke up.

In the Stone Sculpture Valley, Fang Yun sensed the fluctuations emanating from the Mist Valley. He looked toward the direction of the Mist Valley and revealed a faint smile. "It seems the Yulan Continent is about to get interesting."

The Doham brothers and Prequet, who were in the midst of cultivation, also felt the tremors; after all, the Stone Sculpture Valley was not far from the Mist Valley.

"My Lord, what happened? That was quite a commotion."

Doham asked, looking somewhat shocked.

"Nothing much, just a lucky guy who managed to break free."

Fang Yun's tone was slightly mocking.

Dylin could indeed be considered quite lucky. To have been imprisoned in the Plane Prison by Beirut and to have escaped in only five thousand years—that was definitely a matter of luck.

However, when this guy first emerged from the Plane Prison, his arrogant attitude made it seem as if he truly believed he was the king of the Plane Prison.

Of course, in the current Yulan Continent, he could indeed be considered one of the strongest individuals, so his arrogance was somewhat understandable.

"A lucky guy?"

Doham and the others were stunned, looking at each other in confusion.

"Alright, you all continue your cultivation," Fang Yun said casually. "I'm going to go meet this fellow."

Ever since Dylin broke out, various powerhouses would begin to emerge in the Yulan Continent one after another. In this era, only those at the Saint-level had any real ability to protect themselves.

Once the training in the Necropolis of the Gods concluded, the Yulan Continent would officially enter the era of gods; without God-level strength, one would have no status at all.

With that, Fang Yun departed immediately.

As a super-powerhouse who appeared in the early stages of the original story, Fang Yun had been quite fond of him back then. Now that he had the chance to see him in person, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

Moreover, he was still in the Magical Beast Mountain Range; if this Dylin wanted to act as the king of these mountains, he would have to see how things played out first.

Dylin's children had just finished eating nearly a hundred dragons, and before they could continue, Dylin suddenly looked in a certain direction. His expression tightened, and he instantly released his divine power to envelop his three children, pulling them quickly to his side.

"Step back."

Dylin's tone was grave.

His divine sense had suddenly detected a strange God-level powerhouse flying toward them. And the speed was incredible! Even he did not possess such speed.

This was a powerhouse.

"Father."

One of the little kittens looked confused.

"There is a God-level powerhouse!"

Dylin's tone grew more solemn.

He hadn't expected to run into a God-level powerhouse the moment he came out, and a stranger at that.

Could it be that the Yulan Continent still had many God-level powerhouses?

He had experienced the chaotic era five thousand years ago, but by the time he was thrown into the Plane Prison, the God-level powerhouses on the Yulan Continent had basically been purged by Lord Beirut.

Could it be some Saint-level expert who became a god over these past five thousand years?

Becoming a god could be achieved through independent cultivation or by refining a godspark. If it were independent cultivation, five thousand years might not be enough. But refining a godspark was quite possible.

Many God-level powerhouses had died on the Yulan Continent back then; perhaps some lucky fellow had picked up a godspark and ascended.

"A God-level powerhouse!"

The three little kittens felt a jolt in their hearts and couldn't help but feel afraid.

Although their father was a God-level powerhouse, they were not. If a battle were to break out, they would likely die at the slightest touch. Back in the Plane Prison, the fourth and fifth siblings had died exactly like that.

Even if their father wanted to protect them, he couldn't always keep them perfectly safe. In the end, they were eaten by those monsters.

Thinking of that scene, the three kittens trembled.

In front of a God-level powerhouse, the Saint-level was far too weak.

"Who are you?"

Before Fang Yun could even get close to the Mist Valley, Dylin's telepathic voice rang out in Fang Yun's mind, filled with vigilance. At the same time, Dylin secretly began to circulate his divine power.

If he were still in the Plane Prison, he would have already left or launched a preemptive strike.

But in the Yulan Continent, he naturally didn't need to be that tense, especially since he had just arrived and didn't want to fight another God-level expert immediately. One had to know that the Plane Prison was extremely barren; even for a God-level powerhouse, the speed of accumulating divine power was far inferior to that of a material plane. Therefore, the divine power he had accumulated was certainly not as much as a God-level powerhouse native to a material plane.

However, he would not drop his guard entirely. If anything went wrong, even if it meant consuming his remaining divine power, he would strike first.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to cause trouble."

Fang Yun's voice was easygoing, and he soon appeared within the line of sight of Dylin and his three children. "I simply sensed the fluctuations here, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect it to be a Deity-level powerhouse."

Although he had long known that it was Dylin who had emerged, Fang Yun naturally would not reveal that he knew. After all, the Yulan Continent still had Beirut, the Sovereign, watching over it.

Moreover, Beirut had certainly noticed Dylin as well.

"I also didn't expect that I would run into a Deity the moment I returned to the Yulan Continent."

Dylin stared fixedly at Fang Yun and spoke, "Since you could appear here so quickly, it seems you were already in the Magical Beast Mountain Range."

At this moment, Dylin assumed that Fang Yun had already occupied the Magical Beast Mountain Range, which was why he had appeared here. However, he had been in the Magical Beast Mountain Range before being imprisoned in the Plane Prison, and he could not simply allow an outsider to occupy it.

It seemed a fight was inevitable.

"Dylin, Fang Yun."

Suddenly, the voice of Beirut rang out in the minds of both Fang Yun and Dylin almost simultaneously.

Upon hearing this voice, Dylin's expression changed instantly.

Fang Yun, however, was not too surprised, thinking to himself, This Beirut is really keeping an eye on this place.

In the original story, after Dylin escaped from the Plane Prison, he did not immediately launch an invasion on human territory. Furthermore, there was almost no news of him; one reason might have been to accumulate divine power, and another was the possibility that he went to pay his respects to Beirut.

It was very likely that both situations were true.

Just after Beirut's voice sounded, the two of them discovered Beirut's figure with their divine sense.

As the Sovereign of the Yulan Continent, Beirut was extremely bored. Seeing two Deities meet, he naturally wanted to come over and stir up trouble. Especially since one was Fang Yun, who had just become a Deity, and the other was Dylin, who had accidentally escaped from the Plane Prison. It was very easy for them to start a fight.

"Lord Beirut!"

Dylin instantly restrained his aura.

Having been personally imprisoned in the Plane Prison by Beirut five thousand years ago, he knew very well how powerful Beirut was. He was definitely an extremely powerful Highgod.

Moreover, beyond that, he was actually worried in his heart whether Lord Beirut would throw him back into the Plane Prison, as he had technically snuck out.

Fang Yun also looked curiously at this little old man who ran through the entire original story from beginning to end; he hadn't expected him to show up in person at this time.

Linley's growth might have been influenced by Doehring Cowart, but the truly important figure was this Beirut. Without Beirut, Linley would absolutely never have reached his final achievements.

It could be said that Beirut was Linley's greatest "cheat code."

Beirut appeared before the two of them in the blink of an eye. He first glanced at Fang Yun and said with a smile, "This is my first time seeing you, though I have heard of you—Fang Yun of the South Sea."

"I just didn't expect that you had already become a Deity. Not bad."

Anything that could pique his interest was naturally considered quite good.

Fang Yun raised an eyebrow but did not say much. He was certain in his heart that Beirut had likely been watching him ever since he first arrived on the Yulan Continent.

Seeing Beirut's attitude toward Fang Yun, Dylin's heart sank. Could it be that this guy had a good relationship with Lord Beirut? If that were truly the case, he would have no choice but to leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

He was not very worried about Fang Yun. What he feared most was Beirut.

Seeing Fang Yun "guarding" against him, Beirut found it even more interesting. However, he did not dwell on it and then looked at Dylin. "It seems your luck is quite good. To be able to return to the Yulan Continent like this."

"Lord Beirut..."

Dylin was nervous in his heart; after all, Beirut could completely decide his life or death. The three little kittens behind him were naturally even more nervous, even trembling slightly.

"Alright, since you have come out, I will not lock you back in."

Beirut saw through Dylin's worry at a glance and spoke directly.

Hearing this, Dylin's face was instantly filled with pleasant surprise. "Many thanks, Lord Beirut!"

"Alright, alright."

Beirut waved his hand and said casually, "You aren't the first one to run out."

As he spoke, he even cast a glance at Fang Yun.

Dylin was stunned. Could it be that he wasn't the first one to come out from here? He had come out the moment the spatial membrane had just begun to show some changes; it was impossible for anyone to have come out earlier than him.

Fang Yun was also somewhat surprised, and then he thought of the magic array he had destroyed. Nearly ten years had passed, so it was not impossible for a few fellows to have slipped out.

However, they were likely not any formidable characters. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a complete lack of news about them all this time.
