Elf Lord, intelligence updated daily.

Chapter 143 The Feast of the Gods
The Crimson Pact has many members, and their strength is considerable.

They were determined to escape, making it difficult for Loren to capture them all.

However, it doesn't matter to anyone else, but Gu Li must stay!
The moment Gu Li used the teleportation scroll, Bai Xi used her void power to imprison the surrounding space, giving him no chance to escape.

"Kid, I advise you not to be ungrateful!"

Even facing death, Gu Li remained a threat.

Loren remained indifferent and didn't say anything more to him.

The scorching burst of flames, combined with Cold Frost's icy dragon breath, completely shattered Guli's defenses.

Guli didn't have time to use the Dragon Slayer Scroll.

As a legendary warrior, Loren and Coldfrost's attacks were not enough to kill him outright.

However, this may not be a good thing for Gu Li.

Because what he is about to face is endless torment in the cycle of reincarnation.

The Blood Pact resulted in death and injury.

They were really screwed over by Gu Li this time.

After this battle, these people would no longer have any thoughts of revenge.

Many people were visiting the magical continent for the first time, and they never expected that there would be so many terrifying beings there.

Loren did not allow Bai Xi to pursue the matter relentlessly.

The others didn't have any deep-seated hatred towards him.

Moreover, those people might be hiding some other tricks, so there's no need to kill them all.

The location of the battle was far from the coastal town, and the commotion on the sea went almost unnoticed.

The two goddesses living in Shashi Town were an unexpected surprise.

Mil appeared in Serune's room at some point.

"That kid's strength is now at the top of the continent, and with the powerful fighting force under his command, I'm afraid no force can compete with him."

Serun looked calmly at Mil. "What do you want to say?"

"What I mean is, we should bring him along to the Feast of the Gods, which is going to be held in two weeks."

Serun decisively refused, "His strength is far from sufficient."

“Serune, you should know very well that this is not a matter of strength. Loren’s existence has already affected the balance between the various forces, and he must be bound by the divine treaty.”

"..."

Upon returning to Sandstone, Loren learned of the Feast of the Gods from Mil.

"The Feast of the Gods, what is that?"

"As the name suggests, this is a banquet held by the gods of the magical continent, which is usually only held during special periods."

"What does this have to do with me?" Loren asked, puzzled.

"Originally, there wasn't one, but you have successively gained four divine essences, and your combat power has soared, which has already attracted the attention of the gods."

"Are you all too idle? Holding a banquet for something like this?"

"No, it was someone else who proposed holding the feast, the Fire Demon King of the Fire Demon Territory."

"The Flame Demon King? It actually has the authority to convene a grand feast of the gods?"

"Not long ago, the God of Flame Demons fell, and the King of Flame Demons obtained its inheritance and wanted to inherit its divine position. However, inheriting the divine position requires the permission of the gods of the continent, and he may not be qualified."

Loren was shocked. "Even gods can fall?"

Beings like Leng Shuang and Bai Xi have lifespans approaching infinity.

The same applies to deities.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't have perished.

“Normally, that’s true. For a god, death of the heart means death. The God of Flame Demons must have completely lost all attachment to this world.”

With the fall of the God of Flames, the King of Flames should rightfully inherit his divine position.

According to Loren's understanding, inheriting a divine position would bring no benefits and would instead be subject to the restrictions of the treaty.

"Am I required to attend this banquet?" Loren asked.

"Not necessarily. However, the gods have the right to eliminate anything that affects the balance of the continent."

With four divine essences within you, you will surpass the King level sooner or later.

At that time, you might be treated like a demon.

The demon god's fate was to be sealed away by the gods, and Loren didn't want to end up like that.

Ascending to the throne of a god seems to be the most logical choice.

Although it would be subject to treaty restrictions, it would also be a form of protection for him.

As the goddess of ice and snow, isn't Mila living a pretty comfortable life?

Two weeks later, the grand feast of the gods was held as scheduled.

Loren, accompanied by Bai Xi, went to the banquet with Serun and Mil.

Mil reached out and summoned a void gate.

This black, vortex-shaped void gate leads to the Pantheon.

The venue for the feast of the gods.

A dazzling white light illuminated the entire hall, with a giant round table in the center of the room.

Thirteen chairs were placed at equal intervals around the round table.

Besides Mil and Serun, three other gods have already taken their seats.

Before coming here, Loren had asked Mil about the situation of the gods on the magical continent.

First was the dragon god Vitellion, who sat in the head seat.

He looked like a man with fierce eyes.

Upon seeing Loren and the others appear, he merely glanced at them calmly before looking away.

Clearly, he had absolutely no interest in Loren.

Next was a petite girl, just like Millie.

Mimia, the Fairy Goddess.

The name sounds somewhat like Lilia's.

Mimia looked at Loren with curiosity.

She was very interested in the fairy aura emanating from Loren.

"Boy, have you ever been to the fairy realm?"

Loren nodded respectfully, "Yes, I have a pretty good relationship with the fairies."

"Really?" Mimia looked at Loren with a skeptical expression.

Loren felt that the fairy god had failed in his duty.

The Fairy Goddess created the Fairy Kingdom, and the Ice and Snow Goddess created the Ice and Snow Empire. She was a fairy god, but she only had one fairy clan, which was located within the Ice and Snow Empire.

However, precisely because of this, her relationship with Mil seems to be quite good.

Mil greeted Mimia and sat down next to her.

Loren looked at the other person in the seat, a man who looked like a lion, the Beast God Rett.

He glanced at Loren indifferently, then looked away.

The Elf Kingdom where Loren lived was constantly at odds with the Orc tribes.

Especially recently, the orc kings of the orc tribes have been killed one after another, and the orcs are in a very miserable state.

Although the main reason was that Gru was bewitched by the demon god.

Before that, Loren and the Elf Queen had killed three Orc Kings of the Orc Tribe.

It's unlikely that the Beast God would have a good impression of Loren.

Serun sat down, and Loren sat down next to her.

At this point, he could only ask Serun to help him save face.

If anyone dislikes him, Serun might be able to help keep them at bay.

Loren is the most loyal follower of the Elf Goddess, and Serun can't just stand by and watch him die.

After Loren took his seat, the other gods arrived one after another.

God of the Sky, God of the Sea, God of Thunder, God of the Storm...

There are a total of twelve deities.

There were only thirteen seats in the venue.

When the Fire Demon King finally arrived, he found that there was no seat left for him.

He glanced around, his gaze settling on Loren, his eyes filled with malice.

It's this kid again!
The gods present looked at Loren and the Balrog King with great interest.

Like Mil and Serune, their lives were dull and uneventful, and they rarely saw such an interesting scene.

Loren really didn't do it on purpose.

He didn't count the number of seats or gods in the hall.

When he realized there wasn't enough space and tried to get up, it was too late.

"Who can tell me why this guy is here, and sitting in my seat!" The Flame Demon King was furious. Loren thought about getting up, but then decided it wasn't necessary.

He had offended the Flame Demon King before, and with today's incident, the feud has been established.

Mill laughed and teased, "Lord Ross, who said this position is definitely yours? You want to inherit the divine throne, but you haven't gained the gods' approval yet."

Ross looked at Mill and asked bluntly, "What do you mean?"

"Although you have obtained the inheritance of the God of Flames, you may not be a match for this guy. If you want to inherit the divine position, you should at least defeat him first."

Upon hearing this, Serun frowned slightly.

Loren also had a bad feeling.

Am I pushing him into a fire pit?
Half a year has passed since Loren returned from the Balrog's territory.

In half a year, his strength improved significantly through the divine essence.

However, the King of Flames also inherited the legacy of the God of Flames.

The oppressive feeling when the demon god attacked was still fresh in Loren's memory, and he was well aware of the gap between himself and the god.

Ross received the true god's inheritance; how could Loren possibly be his match?
Seeing Mil's mocking expression, Loren realized he had been tricked.

Loren rejected Mil's divine servant contract back then, and that woman must still be holding a grudge.

Ross glared at Loren with a sinister look on his face; he was just looking for an opportunity to get revenge on Loren.

Mil's suggestion suited him perfectly.

"In that case, please allow me to fight this brat to the death."

A decisive battle to the death?

How is this possible?

"I abstain! You may inherit the divine position if you wish."

Loren had no interest in the divine position to begin with; he was lured there by Mil.

In fact, what Mil said earlier was not without reason.

Loren's existence has already attracted the attention of the gods.

Especially the Beast God and the Sea God.

As the deity worshipped by the orc tribes, the Beast God would naturally consider the future of the orc tribes.

Loren's current strength is extraordinary.

If left unchecked, the orc tribes might be completely annexed by the elven kingdom.

This has seriously affected the balance between the orc tribes and the elven kingdom.

Previously, the Elf Kingdom only had one Elf Queen, Serusia.

Although she was powerful, she was not strong enough to destroy the entire orc kingdom.

But now Loren possesses this ability.

Poseidon had the same concerns.

Although Loren has a good relationship with marine species.

However, marine life is not the only species found in the ocean.

He needs to maintain the balance between the siren species and the marine species.

Loren has a better relationship with the sea creatures and may later destroy the entire Siren territory.

In their view, Loren's future behavior must be restricted.

Due to treaty restrictions, they cannot directly attack Loren.

There is only one consequence for violating the treaty: being sealed away by the gods like the demon god.

Therefore, they need to find other ways to restrict Loren.

Either make Loren a member of the Pantheon, bound by treaties to not interfere in conflicts between factions.

Either let the Balrog King take action to eliminate Loren and eradicate this scourge completely.

Therefore, both the Beast God and the Sea God expressed their opinions.

"We agree to the duel between the Balrog King Ross and the human Loren."

Ross thanked the two for their agreement.

He then began to accuse Loren of aggression.

"Back then, this kid led a group to the Flame Demon's territory, stole the Source Fire, and caused incalculable damage to the Lava Labyrinth."

The God of Flames must have been disheartened and perished upon witnessing such a tragic scene.

Ross implored the gods present, asking them to allow him to severely punish this arrogant villain!

Decisions at meetings are usually made by voting.

Most of the gods present were the type who enjoyed watching the drama unfold.

They all raised their hands in agreement.

The Dragon God remained silent and made no comment.

Mimia didn't raise her hand, considering that Loren had a good relationship with the fairies.

Needless to say, Serune.

She never wanted Loren to participate in this grand event in the first place.

Loren's strength is rapidly increasing, and he may be qualified to ascend to godhood in the future, but it is still too early now.

However, the majority still agree on this showdown.

Loren had no choice but to accept this life-or-death struggle.

The vote passed, and an invisible force field appeared in the center of the meeting hall.

This is the work of the Dragon God.

Only the two competing parties are allowed to enter; no one else is permitted.

The only thing that made Loren feel fortunate was that Bai Xi was also considered part of his power.

This makes sense.

After all, he had signed a contract with Bai Xi.

Given this, there might still be a chance for this battle.

Loren and Ross entered the venue and confronted each other, while Bai Xi had already infiltrated the shadows, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Loren dared not be careless and summoned ice flames.

Iceflame can provide Loren with greater combat power through a contract.

Ross stared coldly at Loren, unimpressed.

Six months ago, this kid led a group to steal the Source Fire and seriously injured him.

Now that he has inherited the legacy of the Flame Demon God, he must get his revenge!

Ross stretched out his hand, and a burst of colorful flames was instantly released.

Ice Flame unleashed a breath of dragon fire, only to be engulfed by the burst of flames.

Loren drew a long spear—the spear that slays gods!

In half a year, the Black Flame Dwarf forged this divine weapon using the source fire. This god-slaying spear is a perfect counter to Ross's Flame Demon Armor!
The spear, imbued with the ultimate water-based battle aura, carved out a surging wave.

The waves failed to extinguish the colorful flames, only barely managing to block the opponent's attack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Loren hurriedly dodged the attack of the exploding flames.

However, the Fire Demon King's next attack is about to strike.

After receiving the inheritance of the God of Flame, his strength increased significantly.

Bai Xi seized the opportunity to strike, aiming straight for the Flame Demon King's vital point.

Ross had received a warning and easily avoided the attack.

However, Bai Xi's sneak attack did not stop there.

A void gate appeared, and Lilia and Celucia emerged from within it.

Ross was startled.

He was able to cope with the combined attack from Loren and Bai Xi.

However, he does not yet possess the strength to face four King-level opponents simultaneously.

Outside the invisible force field, Mil looked at the Dragon God on the throne, "Your Excellency Dragon God, this force field can't even block the summoning of the Void Gate?"

The Dragon God glanced at Mir indifferently, "They are all contractors of that human and have the right to participate in this duel."

In the Dragon God's view, the contracted party also belongs to Loren's power.

The appearance of Lilia and Celucia made the outcome of the duel a foregone conclusion.

Ross yelled, "That's not fair!"

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention.

The gods present didn't care about the outcome of the duel; they just wanted to watch the show.

Moreover, in their view, Ross, as the initiator of the feast of the gods, was the last to arrive, which displeased the gods, though they did not show it.

The result is already obvious.

After a fierce battle, Ross was defeated.
