{First Contestant:

Country: Unknown

Identity: Unaffiliated mercenary

Occupation: Unknown

He has fire attributes. According to records, the flames on his body surface could burn for three days and three nights without extinguishing

If opponents are hit by his fire battle energy, they become irrational, temperamental, and full of hatred.

His combat power is extremely high. He can inflict enormous damages.

Strength: Superb close-combat skills. He is second to none with professionals of the same level.

Weakness: Unknown, he is not afraid of mental attacks.}

“Pfff!” William could not resist his anger and cursed. “The reincarnation of a God! How can he be afraid of a mental attack? If his godly powers haven’t vanished, he can kill a few Advanced professionals with just a gaze.”

William felt troubled. Delosis was not the main God. He was only one of the Gods.

He had two godly titles: God of Fury and God of Jealousy!

The battle energy flames on his body surface had an extremely high temperature, could inflict negative BUFFs, and cause the enemies to feel anger and jealousy.

Since William had obtained the rune equipment, the lightning on his body surface would inflict negative BUFFs on his opponents.

In order to resist these negative BUFFs, the professional had to depend on his personal attributes.

More importantly, every reincarnation of a God would retain their unique endowment that surpassed the endowment limit of a legendary BOSS.

“What’s Delosis’ endowment? I remember there was a plot related to him. I know that his endowment was mentioned in the forum.” William scratched his head and deeply pondered.

At the center of the legendary continent, in the headquarters of the Temple of Light!

Havto returned empty-handed with the legions. After being scolded by the deputy Temple Lord for more than half an hour, his troubled-looking face had been badly creased like a chrysanthemum flower. He left in a huff.

The deputy Temple Lord’s anger abated as he watched Havto leave. He sat on his high chair in the empty hall and muttered to himself, “How many confirmed cases of Gods’ reincarnations are there?”

A dimension was sliced open.

A medium-built young man with an ordinary face walked out. He waved his hand, and the dimension crack vanished. It seemed as if he had overheard the mumblings of the deputy Temple Lord, as he asked, “Are you referring to the legendary continent? Or the nine continents?”

“It’s the legendary continent.” The deputy Temple Lord stood up to show his respect, as he looked at the young man.

“13. According to the actual situation, there may even be 33 of them on the legendary continent. It’s definitely more than other continents.” The young man who was wearing a pristine, white costume was the Lord of the Temple of Light.

He was also called the Supreme Pontiff of Light.

Whenever he mentioned the Gods, he would have a subtle smile, as though he was hatching a scheme.

The deputy Temple Lord noticed that the Temple Lord found a convenient chair to sit down, so he could not remain on the high chair. He walked to the Temple Lord and said in a low voice, “The Magic Conference attracted a lot of talents. As long as we do our due diligence, we may be able to discover ‘unawakened’ reincarnations of Gods.”

The Supreme Pontiff of Light might have looked young, but he could have been an ancient creature with a long lifespan. He tapped the table with his finger and said, “Do you think that the reincarnations of Gods are considered Gods?”

The deputy Temple Lord bitterly smiled. “Of course, they’re Gods. When they’re awakened, they’ll regain the memories of their previous lives. They will gradually walk back to their Godly paths.”

The young man’s expression did not change, and he did not speak. Nobody could tell what he was thinking.

After some time, he said in a low voice, “We’ll just ascertain their identities during the Magic Conference. Unless they approach us voluntarily, we don’t have to contact them. I want to see if they’ll lose their Human nature once they’re awakened.

“They have the memories of Humans, after all!”

“Is that necessary? In the million-year encompassing memories of the Gods, are ten or hundred-year memories of Humans significant?”

“Of course, I don’t wish to be harsh. There is enmity even between the Gods. We have to capitalize on this.”

“What about Lancelot…” The deputy Temple Lord immediately stopped himself as he realized that the Supreme Pontiff looked grave when he heard the name.

The Supreme Pontiff sighed. “He was the true Viscount of Light.”

“Yes, I didn’t find anything strange in him. His actions and words were the reflection of Light and Righteousness. He was the true Viscount… of Light.

“I don’t think he’s in a disguise because he’s unable to fool me.”

The deputy Temple Lord paused and said, “But he’s the son of a God. Do we have to depend on him to resist… his father?”

“Why not? Haven’t we been doing it all this while?” The Supreme Pontiff of Light smiled and said, “They had been sealed since their births in the mortal world. Only in recent years did they separate from their Human identities. They don’t have past lives and the memories of being Gods. They have been indoctrinated with the teachings of the Temple of Light.

“They don’t believe in Gods.

“They only uphold Light and Righteousness.

“If the bloodlines are able to restrain them, how can we become sages?

“When the Gods descend upon the world, their first enemies would not be us. It would be their descendants!” The Supreme Pontiff of Light narrowed his eyes.

The Gods had the seven emotions and six desires of Humans.

However, they were more powerful than Humans.

For countless numbers of years, they had been used to the submission of various races to them.

The Gods believed that there should be no resistance to their actions and words. Humans were only their pawns. Even if Humans sacrificed their lives, they had to carry out their orders.

But since the disappearance of the Gods, Humans had become powerful.

Humans did not yield to Gods anymore in the Gods’ era.

They did not have to become slaves to the Dragon race in the Dragon’s era.

They were no longer servants to the Elves in the Elven era.

The resurgence of Humans started in the fourth era, which was imminent.

However, who could say who was the next master of the coming era?

So what if the Gods descended?

They would be facing the resistance of various powerful races.

Including the resistance from the reincarnations of Gods.

Many religious powers and races were vying to be the ruler of the fourth era. Who would win and who would lose?

Nobody could tell.

The deputy Temple Lord made a long sigh and abruptly asked the young man, “How far are you from your objective?”.

The Supreme Pontiff shrugged his shoulders and said, “I don’t know. Perhaps it’s the distance of a piece of paper. Perhaps it’s the distance between Heaven and Earth.”

“Are you able to enter that realm after the magic resurgence?”

“I can’t.”

“Isn’t that a descent of the main God into our world? Are we becoming ants once again?” The deputy Temple Lord was filled with despair and helplessness. The main God was too powerful. Unless they managed to enter another realm as sages, they did not have the chance to resist the main God.

The Supreme Pontiff of Light smiled. “Don’t worry. It’s not the end of the world. It’s only the beginning of the magic resurgence. The low magic intensity is not ideal for the main God, so he won’t be descending into our world.

When the magic resurgence reaches its peak, I may be able to have a breakthrough.

Without me, there are still other candidates.”

He coldly smiled and said, “If the main God wishes to descend into our world at an earlier time, I’ll not hesitate to give him a good beating. The consequence will not be good for anyone.”

The deputy Temple Lord frowned, as he felt the Temple Lord was complacent. The Temple Lord had only been a sage for a thousand years and was a junior to the deputy Temple Lord. How could he defeat the main God easily?

The deputy Temple Lord did not trust the young Supreme Pontiff of Light!
