Chapter 1147 Good News

"It's alright."

Upon hearing Leon's question, the mermaid beauty, who had retained a sliver of her will, answered in the same manner as the three generations of directors:
'The appearance of the Root Remnants is indeed often accompanied by destruction, and I recently sent most of the Cleanup Bureau into the Netherworld. It's completely understandable that he doesn't trust me; if I were in his shoes, I would be just as cautious.'

Damn it, this is clearly someone holding a grudge.

Lyon blinked helplessly upon hearing this.

Given Evangeline's personality, if she directly expresses her dissatisfaction, or goes along with something abstract, it means she probably doesn't take it too seriously, and the matter is over.

But not only did she act very understandingly, she also took the initiative to speak up for the third-generation bureau chief, so this matter is not over yet. She must have already come up with some wicked idea and is preparing to find an opportunity to take revenge.

Although being treated like a bad guy was a bit unpleasant, his proposed plan was still sound.

Knowing that her plans couldn't be hidden from Leon, the mermaid woman's will within him smiled and then spoke:

"If someone were to guard the sea eye continuously, then there would indeed be no need to worry about the seabed freezing, and it would also strengthen the foundation of the present world. This is indeed a feasible solution, and I am certainly a more suitable candidate than him."
After all, my people will still be living in the sea in the future. If there is a problem with the sea eye, my people will be the first to suffer. He has such a big prejudice against me, I dare not entrust the sea eye to him. I feel more at ease doing this myself...

Alright, that's enough for now. I have to go. See you again after I've settled things with the Abyss Realm!

'...'

"Let's go, it's time for us to go back."

Just as the mermaid beauty was waving goodbye to Leon in his mind, the third-generation director walked to the large pit she had dug, peered into the chaotic source beneath the primordial mud tablet, and then turned back to urge him:

"That mermaid is gone, and we can't go down to the source anymore, so what are we doing here? Let's hurry back to the realm of the dead!"
Before you two left the realm of the dead, Capricorn and Taurus were working on the 'treasure' you snatched back from the Four Pillars of Deity. It's probably almost purified by now, so if you go back now, you'll almost be there in time!

"Um……"

Faced with the urging of the third-generation old man, Leon, who was still hesitating whether to remind him, simply gave up the idea of ​​warning him to be careful of revenge. Instead, he directly imitated Evangeline's actions and tried to use the Root to directly create a passage from the Source God Platform to the Death Realm, and stepped into it.

Although Evangeline's personality is abstract, she seems to be quite measured in her actions. Even if she retaliates, she probably won't go too far. There's no need for me to get involved or forcibly suppress the situation.

There will definitely be disagreements and conflicts between them in the future. All I need to do is act as a peacemaker and control the situation. Let them handle the rest themselves. These two old monsters who have lived for who knows how many years should be able to handle this kind of thing.

Aquarius!

As Leon returned to his loyal realm of the dead, the Cancer director, who had just been rescued, was the first to spot him. With delighted looks in his eyes, he ran out of the Sage's Cemetery and waved to Leon above.

"Come quick! Great news! Incredible good news!"

Amazing news?

Leon paused slightly upon hearing this, then pinched his nose and walked around the cesspools surrounding the Sage's Cemetery, landing towards the Cleanup Bureau's temporary outpost in the Dead Realm. He asked with some curiosity, "What good news? Have [Inheritance], [Creation], and [Connection] all been purified?"

"That's part of it... but I have other good news to share."

After Leon entered the Sage's Graveyard, the usually composed Cancerian director, his face unusually flushed, replied:
"Aquarius, not long after you left, news came back from the Old Earth. About a month ago, the Director and Aries Director discovered a spacetime beacon left behind by the humans of the Old Earth in a broken magnet plane. It is estimated that they will soon be rendezvous with them!"

Humans of the Old Land?

Leon blinked, then asked with some confusion:
"The Old Earth Humans are the branch of our ancestors who chose to stay in the Old Earth when they fled, right? Is there any story behind joining them?"

"Oh right, I don't think anyone has told you about this in detail yet!"

Upon hearing Lyon's question, the Cancer director's excited expression calmed down slightly, and he then took the initiative to ask:
"I remember when you went to the Northern Kingdom, you talked to Barto from the Aquarius branch about the Old Earth humans. What did he tell you?"

"What Director Aquarius said... he told me about the seven deadly sins and six virtues of the Thirteen Kingdoms."

After recalling his conversation with the blue-haired old chief of the Aquarius branch, Leon replied:
"Director Barto told me that the current human race is more evil than good, and that apart from the seven evils and six goods of the Thirteen Kingdoms, there should actually be another human race that possesses the seventh virtue called 'Hope'."

“He does know quite a lot… Well… Barto is the most senior of the Zodiac Directors, so it’s normal for him to know more.”

Upon hearing this, the Cancer director smiled, and then, as he and Leon walked deeper into the Sage's Cemetery, he explained:

"Just as he told you, after being attacked by the Four Pillars Gods, our ancestors split into two groups. One group, our ancestors, led most of their people to flee their old land and settled in the present world."

The other group consists of the ancestors of the ancient humans. They felt that fleeing was not safe enough, so they retreated deeper into the ancient land, intending to use the omnipresent spacetime turbulence to avoid the harm of the Four Pillar Gods.

Although our ancestors on both sides succeeded in avoiding the Four Pillars God, unlike us who have been entangled with the Four Pillars God, the ancestors on the Old Land not only completely avoided the Four Pillars God, but also avoided most of the races on the Old Land.

To fill the missing "hope," and to prevent them from being found by the Four Pillars of Deity first, the predecessors of the Bureau have searched the old land countless times, but without much progress. This time, however, is the closest they've come to success in thousands of years; the Bureau Chief might be able to find them soon.

That's it...

After listening to the Cancer director's explanation, Lyon thought for a moment and then asked:
"If the Director and Lord Aries find the whereabouts of that human group in the Old Lands and regain hope of their control, what impact will it have on the present world?"

"The impact is extensive, and all of it is positive."

The Cancer director laughed:

"Although the current state of reality is not necessarily due to the lack of hope, it is indeed closely related to the fact that evil outweighs good. Once we rediscover these lost virtues, the world will surely become a better place."

Furthermore, hope itself is extremely beautiful. In the words of our ancestors, hope is a dream while awake, something that can fly and dwell in the soul, a force that sustains life more than anything else.
