This Necromancer Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1663: 455 Destruction and Rebirth (Final Chapter of Scar of the Dead)

…

The nascent Divine Fire burned fiercely.

It carried Lost Paradise straight up into the heavens.

The doomsday fire poured down.

But it couldn’t hinder the strong upward trend of Lost Paradise!

Matthew could feel it.

...

Destruction and rebirth had alternated at that moment.

They had successfully escaped the gravitational vortex of the Heavenly Family Palace.

The apocalyptic scene gradually disappeared from Matthew’s view.

What took its place

Were scenes that seemed vaguely familiar.

This was a higher place in the Heavenly Family Palace.

A space that was almost void.

"This place… it seems we’ve really been here before!”

Such an epiphany struck Matthew’s heart.

He had once encountered the shadow of the Calamity Mage here.

The latter even mentioned giving them a few small gifts.

Wait a moment!

If Lost Paradise was captured by the Dusk Disaster while leaping over the Heavenly Family Palace,

Then wouldn’t the memory of encountering the Calamity Mage be illogical?

Could it be that the shadow of the Calamity Mage was also a part of the Dusk Disaster?

Matthew’s heart was filled with doubt.

"No,”

"Not necessarily

He quickly realized,

That an existence like the Calamity Mage, by merely appearing, could have twisted time and space.

In the presence of such a powerful reference,

The sequential order of time lost its meaning.

The key was her presence.

Her appearance

Meant she truly existed.

The paradox of time and space proved nothing.

"So, what about the gift she spoke of?”

Matthew looked around.

He found nothing unusual.

His heart was filled with curiosity and some self-doubt—

"Could it really have been just my illusion?”

Lost Paradise continued to ascend.

They flew past the place where they had once encountered the Calamity Mage, rising toward the supreme point of the Universe.

As the Heavenly Family Palace faded into the distance,

The influence of the Dusk Disaster also gradually weakened.

At a certain moment,

Elf Elder suddenly awoke from his dream.

The instant he opened his eyes, Matthew saw in them the vicissitudes of life.

"Was it an illusion?”

"Or was this a test before deification?”

The Elf Elder’s mental state was much like Matthew’s when he first awoke;

His heart seemed full of conflict.

As if he had encountered many unbearable things in his dream.

The other three also gradually woke up.

Taking the opportunity,

Matthew quickly recounted the ins and outs of the Dusk Disaster.

After listening, Elf Elder and Vampire Moson expressed their gratitude to Matthew.

However, the Faded Dragon wore a disbelieving expression.

As for the God Eater Queen,

She was the one whose mental state was the most unstable, and even after waking up, she stared blankly in place for quite some time!

Regardless,

After the others woke up,

The pressure on Matthew’s shoulders was greatly reduced.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that our ascension has been successful,”

"But the Heavenly Family Palace is about to fall.”

"The fall of the Heavenly Family Palace will bring irreversible damage to the material plane.”

"The Earth will tear apart, tsunamis will flood the coastal cities, Void Turbulence will keep coming incessantly, and more demons will swarm in from the astral world.”

"Many innocent creatures will die in this catastrophe, and even more people will be displaced

Matthew said indifferently.

The reactions of the crowd were varied.

A trace of worry flashed across Tyraste’s face.

But the Traveler God Mo Song’s face was full of relief:

"Thank goodness I ran away in advance!”

"Now I have joined the most correct side!”

The Faded Dragon was quietly discussing with the God Eater Queen:

"Perhaps we should take our clan to the Heavenly Realm early, or into our own Demiplane

For their reactions,

Matthew had expected as much.

He wasn’t really concerned about these fellows’ attitudes.

But the next second,

He suddenly pushed the Divine King Authority toward the little black cat and Tyraste!

"This original authority, I entrust to the two of you.”

"You will be the Divine King.”

"Mr. Tyraste, you will be responsible for supervising her,”

Matthew said.

A look of astonishment appeared on the little black cat’s face:

"I, the Divine King?”

Matthew said with a smile:

"You said it yourself.”

"The Holy Prophecy Technique has appointed you to be the next Divine King.”

"I’ve thought about it, and this outcome isn’t unacceptable.”

The little black cat did not show the joy that Matthew had imagined.

On the contrary,

Her eyes revealed a trace of sadness:

"So

"You’re going to abandon me again, right?”

Tyraste also asked with a puzzled face:

"Why don’t you become the Divine King yourself?”

Matthew shook his head with a smile:

"I have already been one in a dream.”

"That feeling is quite fascinating, but I think that’s not what I want.”

"Besides, from the beginning to the end, I never really considered taking this path.”

"I just came to have a look.”

"Now that I have seen enough of the scenery above, it’s time to go back.”

Such words from Matthew were nothing if not shocking.

Let alone Mo Song and the Faded Dragon, even Tyraste showed an expression of disbelief.

"So you really never intended to become an ancient god

The Mirage Dragon said admiringly:

"I thought you were just boasting previously.”

Lost Paradise was ascending rapidly.

The air was becoming more and more saturated with intoxicatingly sweet substances.

Matthew knew that if he lingered any longer,

He might become unable to resist the temptation to ascend.

So he lightly touched the Divine King Authority with his right hand, extracted a unique part of it, and pushed the remaining part into the arms of the little black cat!

"This is one-fifth of the power of the original authority, symbolizing protection.”

"I’ll borrow this protective power for a few days, and once this catastrophe is over, I’ll return it to you.”

"Take good care of this phoenix egg for me; who knows, it might hatch a phoenix one day!”
