Chapter 251: The Abyss of Death

Kaelen and Sane stayed at the Martial God Shrine, focusing on repairing the spatial array leading to the Western continent, ensuring the array could activate smoothly.

During these days, the Temple Master frequently convened meetings with the Chiefs and Priests of the tribes, borrowing the strange incident from a few months ago to solidify the continent’s people’s faith in the Deities.

The Southern continent and Northern continent sides were also rolling out their plans.

Kaelen and Sane could feel the power of faith surging in their chests. However, it was far from enough.

During these past few days, whenever they poked their faces out of the guest room, they would run into the Red Snake clan Sub-Beast Relius. He always jumped out to block Kaelen’s way to challenge Kaelen to a duel, getting beaten until he cried every time, yet the next day he would still thick-skinned come to issue a challenge.

Kaelen did not know what to say, taking a close look at his mate once again.

"I admit you are truly handsome and match the taste of the majority of Sub-Beasts, but it shouldn’t reach the point where that Relius is infatuated like this, right?"

Sane pursed his lips, saying something he was not very sure of: "Could it be... the person he is paying attention to is actually... not me?"

Kaelen was completely shocked.

The next day, when Relius sneaked over once again, Kaelen spoke directly:

"Do you like me?"

Originally Relius only had red eyes and red hair, but after hearing Kaelen ask that, his whole body turned bright red. Relius jumped up, screaming: "No! I do not! Do not speak nonsense!" Then he vanished in a flash.

Kaelen: "..."

Sane burst into laughter: "See, I told you. Except for the first time his gaze landed on me, all the subsequent times he was staring intently at you. My mate truly is someone who makes flowers bloom and people fall in love upon meeting him."

Kaelen smacked his shoulder hard once: "Do not stand there spouting nonsense anymore, we need to go now."

The Temple Master and the Holy Son accompanied the two to the forbidden area, watching with their own eyes as they disappeared into the teleportation array.

"Brother, will we meet them again in the future?"

The Temple Master tilted his head up to the sky, sighing: "Perhaps yes, perhaps no. Confronting the Deities, who knows beforehand what the outcome will be..."

---

Half a month later, at a deep swamp forest at the bottom of an abyss.

Kaelen swung his sword to cleave a magical beast that had just emerged from the mud puddle into two halves, irritably flicking the pitch-black liquid stuck on the sword blade.

He was still trying to find a way to contact Sane, but the communication bracelet at this moment did not have the slightest movement. Kaelen chose a dry corner, took a sedge mat from his spatial bag to spread on the ground, sitting down to rest.

Half a month ago, shortly after he and Sane had just entered the teleportation array, that despicable person played tricks again. The originally gentle teleportation space suddenly became violent, forming a wind vortex wanting to tear the two of them into pieces.

Because they had prepared beforehand, Kaelen quickly controlled the situation. However, unfortunately, due to several streams of spiritual energy simultaneously tearing at each other, the teleportation array became overloaded leading to a collapse. He and Sane were thrown to two different places.

He was thrown falling into a pitch-black abyss bottom, everywhere being swamps and dark magical beasts. He had tried climbing up many times but could not climb up, because at the bottom of this abyss was an extremely thick barrier layer. Furthermore, his Divine Energy was suppressed by the dynamic force at the abyss bottom; being able to survive until now entirely relied on physical stamina and martial arts for support.

He did not know where Sane was thrown to? Was Sane safe or not?

His belly was slightly nudged once, very softly. If his hand was not coincidentally placed on his belly, he would not have felt it. Kaelen smiled, gently patting his belly: "Little kid, calculating it, you like this environment the most right? You also once climbed up from the bottom of an abyss, slaughtering everywhere to become a Deity."

His belly did not have any more movement; perhaps the child had fallen asleep.

Kaelen leaned on his sword to stand up, retracted the mat, continuing to open a path to head out.

This world no longer had time for him to delay anymore.

Slaughtering for another month, Kaelen finally saw the first bit of light throughout the past month and a half.

The first thing he did when crawling out of the Abyss of Death was to turn on the communication bracelet, calling Sane. The first time no one answered; the second time, only when the light on the bracelet was about to extinguish was the call finally connected.

[Baby!!! Where are you?!]

Kaelen breathed a sigh of relief: "I do not know either. I just crawled up from the bottom of the dark abyss, not yet knowing where this place is. However, I know the place I just left is called the Abyss of Death."

[You find a safe place to wait for me, I will come right now!]

Kaelen uttered a ’mhm’, walked back slightly further from the abyss edge, then created a barrier for himself, collapsing flat onto the ground.

Daring to force a pregnant person like him to struggle at the bottom of a dark abyss, enduring the cold dampness seeping into every bone joint, eating insufficiently, sleeping insufficiently for a month and a half. He remembered this grudge clearly. Later upon catching the God of Decay, he would definitely tell Sane and Orion to create eighteen suns, locking the God of Decay in there to roast for a full hundred million years!

A white light suddenly flashed; Sane had rushed to the location. He called out:

"Kaelen, where are you?!"

Kaelen raised his hand, breathing weakly: "Over here, my love..."

Sane immediately ran to his side, fearfully hugging his mate tightly. His nose stung, tears falling down like a broken dam. From a person being saved, now Kaelen became the one coaxing a child. He was unbearably tired, hurriedly saying: "Let me sleep, let me sleep for a bit. Whatever needs to be said, can we say it later?"

Having finished speaking, Kaelen immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Sane heartbreakingly supported his mate to rest his head against his chest, caressing Kaelen’s soot-and-mud-covered face. He had lost a lot of weight, under his eyes even having pitch-black dark circles, proving he had not had enough sleep for many days.

Sane gently lifted Kaelen up; a light suddenly flashed, the two people’s figures disappearing from the ancient forest, then reappearing in front of the gate of a small tribe.

The gatekeeper hurriedly opened the gate to let Sane in; the Chief and Priest along with the people in the tribe also ran over one after another. Seeing the filthy Sub-Beast in Sane’s embrace, the Black Snake clan Sub-Beast, who was also the Chief of this tribe, frowned:

"Is this your mate, Lord Divine Envoy? Why did he end up like this?"

Sane nodded: "He was at the bottom of the Abyss of Death throughout the past month and a half, having just managed to climb up."

Everyone simultaneously took a deep breath, unable to hold back a surge of admiration in their hearts. From the past until now, no one had ever stepped foot into the Abyss of Death and come out alive; this Leopard clan Sub-Beast was the first person. Right, being able to become the mate of the Divine Envoy, he definitely could not be an ordinary person.

The young Chief hurriedly ordered people to prepare warm water and clean clothes, fetching an additional set of soft animal skin mattresses to bring to Sane’s residence. Sane refused the Sub-Beasts’ help, personally bathing his mate, then laying Kaelen onto the soft bed.

His large hand gently pressed on Kaelen’s belly, feeling each light nudge, his mood somewhat complex.

Previously, the Good Deities and the Demon God were irreconcilable enemies, but when facing the crisis of the Great World, this Demon God voluntarily erased the previous grudges, standing on the same front line with their group of Good Deities. Kaelen used to hate the Demon God very much, because wherever this guy set foot, trees withered, rivers and streams dried to the bottom, and living beings were only left with white bones.

Kaelen’s Divine Energy could not even resurrect those places, therefore every time a land turned into a dead land, Kaelen also had to stand in front of the Demon Domain cursing for half a day.

Perhaps the Demon God also knew the destructive power of his demonic aura, therefore unless absolutely necessary, He also did not step half a foot out of the door.

Moreover, since He ascended to the Deity Seat, He managed the subordinates below very strictly. The mortal realm during those years did not have to suffer disasters caused by demonic creature harassment anymore.

This person reincarnating as the child of him and Kaelen could also be considered a good affinity...
