Chapter 468 Resurrection
“Hahaha, Linley, long time no see.”

Seeing Linley, Dorin Kwart also smiled happily.

During the more than ten years that he had been with Lin Lei, Derin Cowart had truly treated Lin Lei as his own grandson and taught him everything he knew.

Lin Lei was being hunted by six ninth-level deacons of the Church of Light. Derin Kvothe would rather burn his own soul to release the forbidden spell “Meteor Fall” in order to protect Lin Lei.

If it weren’t for the help from Master Ninisha and Master Locke, perhaps I would have died more than two thousand years ago. How could I have seen Linley again?
Over the years, when Derin Kvothe was not practicing, he would ask Lady Ninisha to keep an eye on Linley. Therefore, he knew everything about Linley, but at least he knew everything that Linley had experienced.

“Lin Lei, you’ve suffered so much over the years!”

Derin Kvothe stepped forward, stretched out his hand and rubbed Linley’s head.

"Grandpa Delin..."

Linley choked up, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

He has come this far, and others are loudly praising his achievements.

But only Grandpa Delin felt that he was suffering.

“Alright, alright, Linley, you are now a real man.”

"Let's go, the Lord God has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Ah."

Linley reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. He followed Dorin Kvothe through the Thunder Chain Waterfall and into the Nether Mountain.

"Grandpa Delin, Lord Locke knew that I had obtained enough commander badges, so he resurrected you all?"

Linley was extremely surprised by Grandpa Delin’s resurrection and asked Delin Kvothe immediately.

At this moment, Linley had chosen to forget that the aura of Derin Kwart who appeared before him was not that of a sanctuary, but that of a mid-level god!

After the death of those non-god-level creatures, their souls will be sucked into the world of the dead and become undead creatures.

Through fighting in the world of the dead, living beings will gradually become stronger until they reach the peak of the holy realm.

At this stage, the cultivation of the top undead in the Holy Land is no different from that of ordinary creatures. They all need to comprehend the laws to become stronger.

When the undead creatures achieve the realm of gods, their souls are baptized by the rules of heaven and earth, and they will eventually recover their memories of their previous lives.

It has only been a few hundred years since Linley came to Nether Mountain to ask Lord Locke to resurrect his relatives and friends.

Even if Lord Locke had resurrected Derin Kvothe from the beginning, it would have been impossible for him to cultivate to the level of a middle-level god in just a few hundred years.

“Hahaha, Lin Lei, I was indeed rescued by Lord Locke, but the time and method in which Lord Locke rescued me are very different from what you think.”

"You'll know this later."

“Before I go to see Lord Locke, let me first tell you about the situation of Lord Locke’s lineage in Nether Mountain.”

Over the years, Derin Kvothe could also feel that the reason why the elders of the Locke lineage valued him had a lot to do with Linley.

Therefore, after knowing that Linley had completed the task assigned by Lord Locke, Derin Kvothe asked Lord Ninisha to speak to Lord Locke and allow him to come to the foot of Nether Mountain and lead Linley to meet Lord Locke.

Derin Kvothe didn’t know why Lord Locke valued Linley, but he knew that he had to let Linley know some details about the Locke lineage, so as to prevent Linley from offending Lord Locke.

It didn’t matter what happened to him. After all, when he burned his soul to save Lin Lei more than two thousand years ago, he had already put his own life and death aside.

The only person he couldn't let go of was Lin Lei.

Linley’s growth over the years also let Derin Kwart know that even without him, Linley would still be alive and well, and would grow into a great man that he had never dared to imagine before.

Perhaps, for Lin Lei now, he can no longer help him at all, and instead becomes a burden and a nuisance to Lin Lei.

If one day Linley fell out with the main gods of the Nether Mountain lineage, Derin Kvothe would rather commit suicide than become Linley’s weak spot.

Before that, he wanted to tell Lin Lei everything he knew so that he would have enough understanding of Locke's lineage.

“Lin Lei, look, there are five main god palaces on this Netherworld Mountain.”

Derin Cowart pointed toward Nether Mountain. Linley looked up in the direction that Grandpa Derin pointed. From the top of Nether Mountain to the middle of the mountain, there were five huge palaces. Surrounding these five huge palaces were some much smaller palaces.

"The people living in these five palaces of the Lord God are the Lord Gods of the Locke lineage."

"What? There are actually five Lord Gods of the Locke lineage on Nether Mountain?"

Although, when Linley saw these five main god palaces, he already had some guesses in his mind.

But when I really heard what Grandpa Delin said, I couldn't help but be shocked.

The Lord God, in Linley’s understanding, was a symbol of “omnipotence”.

Moreover, there are only seven main gods in a lineage.

That is to say, the total number of main gods in the entire universe is no more than seventy-seven.

In the Nether Mountain lineage alone, there were nearly one-tenth of the main gods. How could this not shock Lin Lei?
After all, all he knew in the Green Leaf Castle before was that there were only two main gods on the Nether Mountain.

But I didn't expect that I was still superficial.

"Five main gods?"

Derin Cowart chuckled.

“Lin Lei, who told you that there are only five Lord Gods in the Nether Mountain lineage?”

"Eh? Isn't this what you said, Grandpa Delin?"

"Five palaces of the main gods, what else could they be if not the five main gods?"

"You..."

Drinkwater shook his head. “Linley, I did say that there are five main god palaces in Nether Mountain, but I did not say that there are only five main gods in Nether Mountain.”

"Of these five main palaces, the highest one is the main palace of the Lord of Death. She is also the wife of Lord Locke."

"The second main god palace is the main god palace of Lord Luo'an, the child of Lord Locke and Lord Death. Occasionally, Lord Levlianxia, ​​the Lord of the Water System, will come and live there for a while."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that the Water Lord, Lady Levlianxia, ​​is the wife of Lord Luoan."

"The third main god palace is the main god palace of Lord Weir."

"Lord God Weir is the son of Lord Luoan and Lord Levlianxia."

"The fourth palace of the Lord God is where Lord Gra, the child of Lord God Weir, lives."

"The fifth palace of the Lord God is the residence of Lord Reina, the daughter of Lord Gra."

"And Lord Reina is the favorite descendant of Lord Locke and Lord Death..."

"hiss……"

Even though Linley’s strength at this moment was much stronger than that of an average Great Perfection cultivator, he still couldn’t help but gasp after hearing what Grandpa Delin had said about the situation of the Locke lineage.

Locke is the master, death is the master.

Lord Luoan, Lord Levlianxia.

Lord Weir, Lord Gra, Lord Reina...

There are actually seven main gods in Locke's lineage.

Moreover, four of them are masters.

Just from the title, one can know that the power and status of the Overlord must be above that of the Lord God.

After learning about the relationship between the main gods on the Nether Mountain, Lin Lei suddenly understood why Grandpa Delin had always told him "the main god of the Locke lineage."

Because they were not just ordinary gods, but gods that were passed down from Lord Locke and Lord of Death. Derin Kvothe led Linley up the mountain. Because it was Lord Locke who summoned him, they only bowed slightly when passing by the five palaces of the gods, and then headed for the top of Nether Mountain.

“Lord Locke, Derin Kvothe is here with Linley.”

Arriving in front of the main palace on the top of Nether Mountain, Dorin Cowart and Linley did not go directly into the palace, but spoke directly from outside.

"Come in."

After getting Locke’s consent, Derin Kvothe and Linley entered the main palace.

"Lord Locke."

“Lin Lei has met Master Locke.”

After entering the main palace and walking to the center of the hall, Derin Kvothe and Linley bowed to Locke and greeted him.

Derin Kvothe, having lived in Nether Mountain for some time, knew that Lord Locke did not like to kneel.

Linley’s words meant that he had decided to conceal the secret of his four-element soul mutation and disguise himself as a fully-perfect person.

The Great Perfection will never bend its knees before the main gods!

“Well done, Linley. Your performance in the plane battlefield is surprising.”

Locke looked at Linley and nodded slightly.

"Show me the commander's badge you got, and then decide who you want to resurrect."

"Yes, Lord Locke."

Linley flipped his hand and took out seven red commander badges.

"Lord Locke, the people I want to resurrect are my father Hogg, my mother Lina, as well as Yale, George, and Renault..."

"And Grandpa Delin..."

Although Derin Kvothe had been resurrected by Lord Locke, Linley still added the name of Derin’s grandfather.

“Linley, although I saved Dorin Kvothe, it was someone else who actually brought him to me.”

"After your grandfather Delin recovered, that person also accepted him as his disciple. Now, under the guidance of that person, your grandfather Delin has also become a middle-level god who has achieved the profound achievements of the two laws of the earth."

"So, instead of thanking me, you might as well thank the person who brought your Grandpa Delin to me."

"Eh?"

After Locke said this, Linley quickly raised his head and looked towards Derin Kvothe.

Sure enough, the aura of Grandpa Delin is that of a middle-level god.

"Let me see……"

Locke's soul power radiated, and he soon found Hogg, Yale, George, and Renault in the world of the dead.

The next moment, the four people were directly moved by Locke to the main god's palace.

"Father!"

"Yale Boss!"

"George!"

"Reno!"

Linley was extremely surprised to see a familiar figure.

"lei?"

With a wave of Locke's hand, Hogg and others instantly recovered their memories of their previous lives.

At the same time, Locke also told them the current situation through their subconscious mind, letting them know why they were here.

"Hahaha, Third Brother, thank you very much."

The Yale boss took a few steps forward and hugged Linley.

George and Renault followed closely behind.

After more than a thousand years, the four brothers reunited again.

However, the smile on Linley’s face did not last long.

Because after Locke brought out Hogg, Yale, George and Renault, he never brought out anyone else.

“Lin Lei, based on the information you provided, I have only found these four people.”

"Your mother's soul is not in the world of the dead."

"There are seven commander badges. I brought back four people for you. Do you want to exchange the remaining three commander badges for three drops of divine power, or do you want to keep them for yourself and wait until you have collected ten commander badges to exchange for a divine weapon?"

Linley remained silent.

He didn't think that Lord Locke would deliberately fail to find his mother Lingna in the world of the dead.

The only possibility is that his mother Lina did not survive in the world of the dead until he grew up, and was killed by the creatures in the world of the dead.

As for the choice given by Lord Locke...

"Lord Locke, I'd better save it. Maybe I can get more commander badges in the future to exchange for the main artifact."

Lin Lei has no shortage of the power of the Lord God.

As soon as they met, Lei Sijing gave himself and Beibei a pot of the power of the God of Destruction. When fighting with Baier and others, he gave himself a few more pots.

Therefore, three drops of divine power were nothing to Linley.

But if he obtains seven more Command Badges in the next Planar War, he can exchange them for a main artifact.

Locke was not surprised to hear Linley's choice.

The power of the Lord God is indeed precious, but compared with the Lord God's weapon, it is somewhat inferior.

The power of the main god can increase the strength of the gods by hundreds of times in all aspects, but the time is very short.

The main artifact can only amplify the gods' attacks tenfold or provide stronger defense, but it is permanent.

That is why the rewards in the plane battlefield will equate ten drops of the power of the main god with the main artifact.

With a flick of his finger, Locke flicked three commander badges into Linley’s hands.

“Alright, Linley.”

"I have completed your request."

"Next, Derin Kvothe will entertain you."

"You have the qualifications to live in Nether Mountain for a long time, but the four of them are only in the Saint Realm after all. They can't bear the residual power of the battles of the strong men in Nether Mountain. It is best to send them away from Nether Mountain before the next battle."

"After all, even I can't change the rules of this universe and allow a soul to enter the world of the dead twice after death."

According to the rules of the magic universe, the souls of creatures below the god level will enter the world of the dead after death.

This is Hongmeng's mercy, giving all creatures below the god level a second chance.

In the world of the dead, even a creature without affinity for an element will be favored by the rules of death just because of its one death.

Then, as long as he killed in the world of the undead, he would be able to absorb the breath of other undead and continue to grow to the peak of the holy realm.
