Chapter 829 - 465: Records of Encounters with Unusual Divine Era Creatures (Part 2)

This male fox described the current situation on the sandbox, and Xue Dili looked at it, thinking the situation was already quite good.

It can only be said that the people of this world have some ingenuity, thinking of using the army of the dead to resist the insect swarm, whether it’s Hades’ Netherworld soldiers, Persia’s immortal legion, or Netherworld’s evil ghosts...

In general, using these things to counter the insect swarm is surprisingly effective, though this effectiveness is relative.

When the insect swarm fell on the southern part of Olympia, almost all of southern Olympia had fallen. If it weren’t for Chaos and the people of other divine systems trying to save the situation, the whole world might have ended by now.

Now, it’s only a matter of entering a stage of slow death; they can only use these undead armies to stall the insect swarm’s advance. But once the first local insect swarm hatches, the defense line is likely to collapse soon after.

Xue Dili suddenly understood the situation of the entire Eden defense line.

"I see, my strength can only be directly applied to that Divine Tree for now, as for the other insect swarms..." Chaos looked at Xue Dili, thinking of using good resources as long as possible, "Hero Xediles, can I ask you to help break through this line at that time, and also, should the Sixth Apostle appear, help me resist temporarily, and we’ll face the Sixth Apostle together, how about that?"

Chaos pointed towards Olympia Mountain, which is where Hades’ Netherworld army is located and also the main attack target of the insect swarm.

In this world, people from each divine system are accustomed to naming areas according to their hometown’s naming conventions; Xue Dili doesn’t know if it’s a reminiscence or if they truly consider this place their second home.

Xue Dili nodded, choosing not to disclose the intel that the Sixth Apostle was already dead, because he came to verify why the Clan of the Apostle killed by the Mimic Venerable King seemed to start attacking other apostles under another person’s control.

Even this army they brought, if weak, Chaos could resist together with these Divine Era creatures, but encountering a situation they couldn’t resist proved that much of the Sixth Apostle’s household had probably been revealed.

Compared to the insect swarm under the Super Iron Curtain, these seemed even more exaggerated.

Because even with the Super Iron Curtain being strong, it was just a few waves of troops commanded by the Ninth Apostle, and in the end, the defense line was held off by Cloud Star and them under the strengthening of the World Consciousness, and later smoothly pushed back with the help of the Fearless Mecha.

This proved that this wasn’t caused by the Sixth Apostle’s death triggering insect swarm out of control, but was premeditated, someone was controlling the insect swarm’s attack.

What Xue Dili previously thought of was only the "Lord of Mist."

Now, having acquired the God of Order’s power, this was his first probe against the Lord of Mist.

And after a rough discussion of how everyone should respond, and discussing alliances and support amongst one another, this combat meeting came to an end.

It was much simpler than imagined; Xue Dili thought he might have to show some strength and beat these arrogant gods before they would talk properly.

Unexpectedly, although some unrecognizable gods seemed unfriendly, overall there weren’t any outbreaks of conflict, not even any mocking or sneering. Some gods even slightly saluted him.

This made Xue Dili a bit unused to it.

Normally, upon arrival, one should face some ridicule before having a face-slapping moment, right?

"Xediles, I’ll be in the reception room waiting for you in one hour. There are many things I need to discuss with you in detail. As for beforehand, you’re free to do as you wish; perhaps looking at this world, which is seemingly familiar yet alien to you, is more important," Chaos said before leaving.

Xue Dili felt somewhat inexplicably, but the attitude Chaos showed was something he buried in the depths of his heart.

Because soon, people started coming over to him.

"Hello, my name is Tushan Yi, are you from my hometown?" The male fox who had previously been strategizing and commanding on the sandbox came over to Xue Dili, greeting him amicably.

"If I follow what you say here, I might be able to call it my hometown..." Xue Dili quipped.

After all, here, this fox might call anyone from Earth his hometown compatriot.

"However, I come from Earth three thousand years in the future, so the distance is somewhat far for you," Xue Dili said indifferently, stating he was from three thousand years in the future.

"Oh, so it’s been that long already... We’ve been living in this world for several generations; the grandparents have always talked about the homeland, but in us younger generations’ memories, it doesn’t count for much. Come have some tea, I bet there’s nothing this good in the homeland, and I hear magic power is declining there, your life must be pretty tough, right?" This fox named Tushan Yi seemed to have some sympathy, giving his hometown compatriot a cup of tea.

But he seemed to have misunderstood something, perhaps thinking that Earth was now only a desert, living very hard...

Xue Dili wanted to quip but didn’t know how; he considered briefly teaching this "overseas Chinese" fox about the technological and scientific development of modern Earth but decided against it...

"Well, it’s indeed quite tough; I’ve never drunk tea before..." In the end, Xue Dili could only muster this sentence.

"Sigh, it seems leaving was the right choice for our ancestors. Oh, you should be the descendant of the Celestial People, right? You can come register with us later, recognize your ancestors, and return to the genealogy. We’re willing to let you change your surname to Tushan; I can sense you have a similar bloodline as ours. Though it’s already so thin and weak, you’re still a descendant of the Celestial People. So change your surname and return to the Celestial People’s genealogy." The male fox’s next sentence almost choked Xue Dili.

As expected, he couldn’t talk with such feudal people.

Xue Dili quickly and politely declined, as for the so-called Celestial People bloodline, recognizing ancestors and returning home...

Xue Dili just treated it as passing gas...

"Sigh, you indeed seem to have the Celestial People’s bloodline, just that it’s very thin." The fox didn’t insist and finally said, "You’ll see if you visit the eastern side of the Netherworld, I’ll show you what it looks like now; I bet it’s much better than your homeland."

Xue Dili: "..."

Your most prosperous Osma City, to Xue Dili, was probably at the level of the Han and Tang dynasties. Why don’t you spare Xue the laugh with your feudal eastern side of the Netherworld?

But Xue Dili still gave the fox some face, not pointing it out directly; he only asked about matters relating to the "Celestial People."

"Celestial People are the descendants of Tushan clan and the Yellow Emperor, who intermarried through generations. In ancient times, those with fox traits returned to Tushan; those without were the so-called ’Celestial People.’" The fox explained, then whispered,

"Let me tell you something, don’t reveal it. Celestial People actually look down on others a lot because we Celestial People have immaculate bodies. Compared to those others, we naturally don’t produce body odor, are mysterious, ancient, long-lived, like Elves, so many Celestial People look down on others deep down. I see you have an immaculate body, that’s why I say you might have an extremely thin Celestial People bloodline, unlike them..."

"Despite covering it up well, to us from the Tushan clan, that scent is simply intolerable..."

Xue Dili: "?"

Feelings, having no body odor, meant Celestial People bloodline?

Then on Earth, there are 1.4 billion Celestial People... maybe more...

Plus your fox’s sense of smell must be several times better than a regular god? That’s indeed a challenge for you.

After this fox left, several more came to talk to Xue Dili, whom he duly entertained.

Among them were some familiar Greeks, like Apollo, whose gaze towards Xue Dili was quite strange, making Xue Dili almost have Zeus PTSD.

After what felt like a round of drinks table etiquette, Xue Dili arrived at the meeting point with Chaos.
