The devils were finally driven back to hell.
However, after experiencing this unprecedented calamity, the material plane was also scarred.
The survivors dragged their tired bodies back to their homes that had been turned into ruins. Even the temples that served the gods were now less than 30%. For a long time, everyone had to find ways to rebuild their homes, and with the drastic reduction of the population, the gods had to temporarily stop fighting to restore their strength. Many gods' churches had been destroyed, and some gods were even facing the risk of their divinity being downgraded. In the next hundred years, they had to find ways to ensure the number of their believers, or they might fall by a level.
The Avatar Crisis was not completely over.
In the Elven Kingdom, the Queen of Spiders was still secretly fighting with the Elven Divine System, and the battle between the Lady of Silvermoon and the Lady of Night had broken out for the third time.
But.
Mordor had returned to peace.
After repelling the invading devils, the mortals who served Søren began to rebuild their homes. The Windspear Hills became the most populous and prosperous place on the south coast today. In the end, Søren gave up the idea of helping Gloria get the priesthood of magic because Mystra was too powerful.
She was even more powerful than the Dread Lord.
Midnight inherited the power of the Goddess of Magic, but from that time on, Midnight was no longer the Midnight of the past.
Every Goddess of Magic's real name was' Mystra '.
This continuity represented a kind of personality overlap. Søren was not sure whether Gloria defeated Mystra or the Goddess of Magic was resurrected in her.
Gloria's growth time was still too short.
She hadn't even fully mastered the priesthood of [Prophecy], let alone the priesthood of [Magic]. Gloria was just a native after all, and couldn't integrate divine power as easily as Søren. Even for Soran, when he first obtained divinity, he paid a great price in order to completely eliminate the consciousness in it.
Gloria needed time to grow.
It would take at least a hundred years for her to fully master the priesthood of [Prophecy] and [Mage].
The Avatar Crisis was about to end.
Søren didn't want to see the Goddess of Magic come back to life in Gloria's body because of his interference.
…
This was a rare period of tranquility.
The powers of the gods were rapidly recovering. Some gods were still fighting to the death, while others had already begun to clean up the mess.
As the God of Death, Søren's every move was closely watched by the Gods!
There was no other way.
He had risen too quickly.
And too many gods had died at his hands.
The gods were full of suspicion toward him, and any action he took after becoming the Lord of Death might cause them to have other ideas. Most of the old gods were on guard against Søren. If he were to get involved in the battle between the Lady of Night, the Lady of Silver Moon, and the Goddess of Magic, it would definitely cause a stronger reaction from them.
Should he do that?
In the end, Søren gave up.
Because this matter could be planned in the next thousand or ten thousand years, and if he chose to do it at this time, it might be another terrifying battle.
Søren's foundation was not enough to support a full-scale war!
Whether it was him, Vivian, Lillian, Princess Royal, or Gloria, almost all of them were new gods, and they had too much to learn and digest. Even if Søren now had great divine power, there was still a big gap between him and the God of Light in terms of real combat power.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been injured after only one fight with the Lord of Hell.
Time passed little by little.
Søren stayed in Arendelle for a long time, and Gloria didn't say anything about it because she knew that Søren could only come back in the future, even if he wanted to.
In the end, the Fallen Witch chose her own path.
She didn't try to become a god with the power from the Goddess of Pestilence, but chose to become a great arcanist and a Destiny Wizard. In the end, between becoming a great arcanist and a god, she chose the former. Søren let her leave her mark on the floating city, but still gave her a trace of divinity.
If one day she was tired of her mortal life, she could also try to regain her priesthood.
…
The stars in the sky decreased a lot.
But the night sky was very bright, and the gods were waiting for the moment to return.
Misty Forest.
This was the last stop of Søren's journey. He had just crossed the Desert of Death and arrived here from the Eastern Kingdom. His purpose was to see the land left behind by the Father of the Oak Tree, as well as the beautiful and passionate Dryads.
Sometimes, Søren would think about it.
Was the Oak Tree Father already dead, or did it exist in some other unknown way?
He thought it was more likely to be the latter.
Because if the Father of the Oak Tree had fallen, the Misty Forest shouldn't have such great divine power. But if the Father of the Oak Tree hadn't fallen, it was very likely that he was now approaching the existence of a greater divine power.
Søren didn't understand.
It was as if there were many things in the endless multiverse that the gods were also exploring.
Perhaps after returning to the Pantheon, Søren would be able to find some answers.
A group of beautiful Dryads welcomed his arrival, and the leader of the Dryads, Carina, presented him with a gift. It was a golden seed.
"In order to fight against the demons, we used the power left behind by our father."
Carina's expression had a trace of piety and excitement. She handed the golden seed in front of Søren and whispered, "After defeating the demons, this seed appeared."
"The great Father of the Oak Tree might be telling us something."
"But we can't understand his will!"
Søren reached out and took the golden seed. It contained some divine power, but it didn't have the will of the Father of the Oak Tree.
This seed might be able to give birth to a god.
But it definitely wouldn't be the Father of the Oak Tree!
"The material plane already has the Goddess of the Forest. Even if you take root and sprout, you can't replace her." Søren felt the breath of life in the seed, shook his head and sighed, "Fine. I have some fate with the Father of the Oak Tree. "
"Let fate decide where you should go."
Søren stretched out his hand and drew in the void. His power was so great that he opened a crack in the space-time turbulence. Then Søren wrapped a trace of divine power around the golden seed in front of him and sent it into the space-time turbulence. There was no room for it to grow in this world. As a divine seed left behind by the Father of the Oak Tree, its potential was at least above the mid-level divine power.
It needed a world to give it room to grow!
Sauron had left a divine imprint on the seed. Only when it reached a new world full of vitality would the imprint disappear, and the seed of divinity would germinate.
Fate would decide where it should go.
…
The Avatar Crisis was finally over.
With the disappearance of the last energy storm, the power of the gods completely returned, and at the same time, the material plane also had a strong repulsive force against them!
A dazzling golden light rose from the earth.
And there was no doubt that Mordor City was undoubtedly the most dazzling in the material plane at this moment!
The Lord of Death – Søren.
The Twins of Fear – Vivian and Lillian.
The God of Prophecies and Mages – Gloria.
The Cat Girl (Guide of the Underworld) – Lulu.
A golden light column rose over Mordor City, and Søren's figure appeared in it. As an existence close to the great divine power, the material plane rejected him very obviously, and his divine brilliance was the most dazzling in the whole world!
There were only three places in the material plane that had such brilliance.
Lady of the Night.
The God of Light.
When they were expelled from the material plane at the same time, Søren saw them, and they saw Søren.
The gods were silent.
Because too many things happened in this catastrophe, they gained and lost a lot.
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
Two beautiful figures, one black and one white, appeared. They rose with the golden light and held Søren's palm tightly. Vivian and Lillian looked at Søren happily and said, "No one can separate us anymore!"
The life of the gods was immortal.
They had endless time to squander. Søren smiled and picked up the two little girls. Then he glanced at Gloria, who was looking at him tenderly.
Finally, he could have a good rest.
Maybe while accompanying the most important people in his life, he could think about what to do to make the world more interesting. He was so powerful that the gods felt uneasy and panicked. It was time to give them some time to relax and eliminate some hostility.
"Yes."
Søren hugged Vivian in his arms and whispered, "We don't have to worry about anything separating us anymore …"
