Ten Years on the Magnolia Continent

Finally, the ten-year period had arrived.

Outside the Graveyard of the Gods, all the Saint-level experts were teleported out, leaving only about twenty remaining.

One of Dylin's children had died, but none of the other peak Saint-level powerhouses had perished.

Linley had obtained three godheads and over a dozen divine artifacts.

Simba had gained nothing, but he had achieved some insights into the Profundity of Water Elements, which was more useful than obtaining a godhead. However, Simba was still covetous of Linley's godheads, thinking of his two sweethearts.

Also emerging was the mid-level god Taros, a bewitching green-haired youth.

"Linley, right?" Taros laughed heartily. "Not bad, to actually succeed in obtaining a godhead on the eleventh floor. You kid are quite something."

As Taros spoke, he rubbed Linley's head twice. Linley wanted to dodge, but he couldn't move.

"Divine Domain?" Linley exclaimed in shock.

"Taros, come over here," Beirut shouted from afar, otherwise, Taros would likely have kept rubbing.

Taros was very happy and obediently ran over.

"Lord Beirut, let's hurry back to the Yulan Continent. I haven't been back in so long, I've missed my hometown to death."

Beirut looked around and said calmly, "Let me introduce him. This is Taros. Many of you have seen him before; he is the manager of the first eleven floors of the Graveyard of the Gods, that sleepy Ba Serpent."

The experts were all shocked. Taros had killed many people, and some had nearly been killed by him, but no one dared to say anything.

Taros greeted the several god-level experts, and finally, it was Olivier's turn.

"Hello there, Olivier. I am Taros. I heard Lord Beirut mention you; you are very impressive." The bewitching youth greeted Olivier after Beirut finished speaking.

"Hello! Taros, I am Olivier."

Taros treated Olivier as a peer, an equal, and introduced himself. Clearly, he knew Olivier's true strength.

"Everyone, prepare to set off and return to the Yulan Continent," Beirut finally said.

Everyone returned to their own homes and sought their own kin.

In the ten years that had passed, while many Saint-level experts had gone to the Graveyard of the Gods, the Yulan Continent had undergone some changes.

The source of these changes was the Saintess of Yulan, Victoria.

More than ten years ago, the Saintess of Yulan appeared in the imperial capital of the Yulan Empire. As a disciple of the two god-level experts, the High Priest and Olivier, she had grandly selected twelve guardian Saints.

After several years of development, the twelve guardian Saints each established twelve powerful Saintess Guards.

Influenced by Her Holiness the Saintess and with the mission of promoting light and cherishing life, these twelve Saintess Guards, led by the guardian Saints, saved lives and healed the wounded across the continent, winning the love of many experts and commoners alike.

The supporters of the Saintess Guards were mainly in the Yulan Empire, but they were not limited to it; they were spread throughout the Yulan Continent.

The Saintess Guards did not challenge the existing imperial power; they saved lives regardless of nationality or social status.

Even in the O'Brien Empire, on the surface, the Saintess Guards were welcomed.

Of course, there were many opponents, such as some evil forces and some factions worried about their rule being challenged. These forces had repeatedly attacked and assassinated the Saintess Guards.

Yet, the Saintess Guards continued to grow, never once affected.

In fact, at the beginning, Victoria's decision to create twelve guardian Saints was just a whim. Later, she felt that forming an organization to promote light and love for life to help more people was a very interesting and meaningful thing to do.

And so.

This organization, similar to the Red Cross of her past life, was established.

Olivier had not expected Victoria to have such an idea, but he supported it greatly. With the support of Olivier and Catherine, the twelve guardian Saints began to build the Saintess Guards, and their development was extremely rapid.

Ten years later, although the leaders of the twelve guards—the guardian Saints—were at most level-nine warriors, every guard unit had Saint-level experts within it. In other words, there were at least twelve Saint-level experts among the Saintess Guards.

This was terrifying. One must know that even Yale's family, one of the three major merchant guilds of the Yulan Continent, only had three or five Saint-level experts.

As for Victoria's strength, ten years ago, she was already a level-eight mage. Now, she had long since reached the Saint level. Her Profundity of Holiness in the Laws of Light had reached the peak of the Saint level, and her Profundity of Water Elements and the Life Law were also about to reach the peak of the Saint level. Victoria had studied fusion magic since she was a child, and her overall strength was comparable to Olivier's before he broke through to become a god.

This was mainly because Olivier had almost completely fused two different elemental laws, while Victoria had only just begun to fuse the three profundities of light, water, and life. Without a cheat for fusing laws, it was too difficult.

A twenty-year-old peak Saint-level expert.

Beirut: In countless planes, there are geniuses who become gods in ten years; Victoria is not much different.

However, only Olivier and Catherine knew her true strength. If this were known by outsiders, it would definitely cause a massive uproar.

"Teacher, are you all going to the Graveyard of the Gods soon?"

The current Victoria had grown into a stunning beauty who could topple cities. With her golden hair, in terms of appearance, she definitely surpassed Sophie and Jessica by quite a bit, and that holy, life-filled goddess temperament could leave the two sisters in the dust.

One must know that Sophie and Jessica were now also level-nine grand mages, and their beauty was even greater than it had been ten years ago.

Sometimes, Olivier felt his disciple was too beautiful, and when she acted spoiled, even he couldn't quite handle it.

Fortunately, it was because of Victoria's holy temperament that Olivier had gained insight into the Profundity of Holiness of the Laws of Light.

"We set off in a few days. This trip will last ten years, but I will leave my original body behind," Olivier replied.

"Then Teacher, you must protect Teacher Catherine well."

Victoria knew about Olivier's soul mutation. She also knew that Olivier was stronger than Catherine. Aside from the Taiji Diagram, Victoria knew about his fusion of profundities and divine power.

"Victoria, I am a mid-level god; why would I need him to protect me?" Catherine said.

"Giggle, Teacher said that men should protect women," Victoria laughed coquettishly. At this moment, she seemed like a mischievous young girl, devoid of any goddess-like aura.

Soul mutation was a secret unique to her and Olivier.

"Hmph, I don't need him to protect me," Catherine said.

"Giggle, haha, then who does Teacher want to protect her?" Victoria laughed even more merrily.

Catherine felt as if her secret thoughts had been seen through and felt a bit embarrassed, though fortunately, she was wearing a mask, so her expression could not be seen.

"Always so mischievous and full of tricks, you little brat," Olivier tapped her on the head.

"By the way, Victoria, your Saintess Guard is now spread across the Yulan Continent. A few days ago, the War God, Linley, and I discussed that the Yulan Empire, the O'Brien Empire, and the Baruch Empire are preparing to wage war on other nations to divide the Yulan Continent into three. You should have your Saintess Guard be more careful; the Yulan Continent is about to descend into chaos," Catherine said.

"Catherine, I suggest the Yulan Empire not expand for now. I have discovered that some mysterious powerhouses have appeared on the Yulan Continent. The future situation is unpredictable; it is better to focus on holding onto your current territory."

Before Victoria could reply, Olivier spoke.

"Mm, there are indeed some mysterious powerhouses of unknown origin. Then we shall not expand for now." Catherine understood what Olivier meant, and a sense of worry lingered in her heart.

"Rest assured, with my true body here, ordinary people wouldn't dare to act presumptuously." Olivier understood her concern, knowing that the reason Catherine remained on the Yulan Continent was that she could not let go of the Yulan Empire.

As the gods headed toward the Graveyard of the Gods, the Yulan Continent began to surge with rising winds and clouds, becoming unpredictable and ever-changing.
