Everyone was confused by this scene, a bit unclear as to why he would do this.
In the sky, that old man carrying a jug of wine stood next to the Great Elven King.
Compared to the famous Nicholas, the old man seemed rather unremarkable.
Even in the North, not many people knew of him.
Only the tribe that the Legend Barbarian protected looked at that old man in shock.
Wasn’t that guy the old man that always ate without paying?
If it weren’t for the Barbarians having a great sense of family, they would have already thrown out that waste.
Who knew that during a matter of life and death for all the inhabitants of the plane, he would reveal a different appearance from his usual self!
Many people inferred that this old man surely had impressive strength just from being able to stand alongside the Great Elven King!
The two of them looked at each other indifferently, as if they were meeting for the first time.
“Turns out the [North Guardian] hasn’t died.”
After a long time, the Great Elven King asked, “You hid for so many years, so why are you coming out now?”
The old man gave a hollow laugh and sipped some wine, his face reddening from intoxication. “Same as you. I’ve lived for too long.”
“Don’t look at me like that, I’m so much more fortunate than you. I became the [North Guardian] in the middle of the 3rd Era. It’s already enough to have lived for so long. Aside from watching that one in my later years, there was nothing much to do.”
“Now, taking a few Gods down with me before dying would be quite a worthy way to go.”
The old man’s voice was very gentle, but for some reason, it reached the ears of everyone on Feinan.
In fact, their dialogue had the strength to reach people’s hearts.
Marvin knew that this wasn’t from the two powerhouses deliberately showing off their strength.
But rather, it was the will of the plane.
It was normal for the two people’s voices to be heard by the onlookers since they were Guardians of the Plane.
As for the title of Guardian of the Plane, very few knew much about it. Even Marvin had barely heard some things about it. It apparently was connected with some very incredible people.
For example, the East Guardian was Anthony, who had already died.
And the South Guardian was clearly the Great Elven King.
…
Marvin’s heart sank when he heard the old man’s words.
He understood why the Great Elven King was so decisive.
He didn’t have long to live anymore.
When he had gone to the Decaying Plateau, the Gods had plotted against him and the Divine Fire inflicted a serious injury on his corporeal body. Perhaps it really was incurable.
Thus, he could only make this extreme decision.
Otherwise, with his lifespan and potential, his current power would be far greater!
Unfortunately… Marvin’s own arrival had changed everything.
Some people’s fates improved, but others seemed to have greatly worsened.
Marvin’s heart sank.
If he hadn’t been so rash, Nicholas wouldn’t have suffered such a heavy loss.
Ivan was taking the throne of the Thousand Leaves Forest much earlier now. Everything had changed!
After the Great Calamity, Marvin couldn’t rely on his own experience of what would happen to make decisions.
This was a completely new world!
…
After the Great Elven King and the old man spoke a few sentences to each other, a shadow flew from the west.
He came from the far west and looked very elegant, with clouds condensing under his feet as he easily walked through the sky!
The Dead Area’s Cloud Monk!
Many Monks’ eyes reddened!
This was one of the highest states that could be reached through training, a level that many were tirelessly pursuing.
The Cloud Monk rushed to their sides.
He looked very young, but his eyebrows were pure white.
“Looks like I’m not alone.” The Cloud Monk smiled gently. He lowered his head and looked at the chaotic continent below, before asking, “What are we waiting for? Shall we go?”
“The West Guardian… Turns out it’s you.” The old man muttered regretfully, “It’s a pity… if all four of us linked to the plane were here, we might have been able to drag many Gods down!”
The Cloud Monk commented, “I thought the same, so I originally hesitated to act. But since you stood up, it would be boring of me to hide.”
The Great Elven King looked at them with a complex expression. “But you already reached immortality.”
“If you enter a Sanctuary, you can also reach immortality. But what’s the point of immortality alone?” the Cloud Monk asked rhetorically.
“Let’s make a move, take advantage of them not knowing the changes of the plane during the past millennium…”
After saying this, he set foot on the clouds and flew out, with the Great Elven King and the North Guardian following closely behind!
The three of them calmly ascended.
At the end were the high and mighty Gods.
Their gazes were indifferent and the Judgement Declaration rang in everyone’s ears.
Yet these three exceptional powerhouses approached them as if they hadn’t heard the Gods’ warning.
Many people couldn’t help but have their eyes redden as tears started forming.
Even when knowing that they couldn’t defeat their enemies, they still moved forward.
Though they didn’t know the reasons for that, everyone could feel the determination of the three Plane Guardians!
They progressed steadily and decisively.
They were calm and collected.
Gradually, their mood made many people below feel at loss.
They clenched their fists and instead of kneeling and praying, they got up and stood tall!
There were still many transformed Wizards wreaking havoc everywhere, but from this moment on, the surviving humans no longer submitted to the Gods.
They chose to fight.
Emotions were such wonderful feelings, able to influence the will of the masses.
The actions of the three astounding powerhouses influenced everything happening in every corner of Feinan.
Even the people considered weak actually burst forth with the greatest courage at this instant.
Many people who had been resigning themselves to their fates stood up to stand against this frightening disaster. As for the Gods, this was the last thing they wanted to see.
They wanted the humans to sink into despair and look to the Gods for help.
But they were disappointed.
What they saw was unyielding courage.
…
These three Guardians of the Plane gradually disappeared into the sky.
On the peak in White River Valley, Marvin let out a heavy breath.
He knew why they would do so much.
They were sacrificing themselves to boost the morale of all the inhabitants below. This was definitely not a choice that anyone could make easily.
Especially for the strongest powerhouses of the world like them.
They could have lived longer than anyone else.
But this battle would be extremely fierce, and it was a path of no return.
Marvin wanted to go and help, but because of his strength, he simply couldn’t.
The Plane Guardians were on another level.
Even Inheim couldn’t leave Feinan to fight with the Great Elven King.
O’Brien had formidable strength, but he had barely reached the entrance. In his own words, he would simply be throwing away his life. It would be better to stay behind and exterminate many Wizard Monsters.
In this respect, he was not overestimating himself.
Feinan needed to have some people remaining to protect
the things that the Great Elven King once protected.
This would be a war of attrition.
The Gods originally needed a month to shatter the Universe Magic Pool.
But now, Marvin estimated that they shouldn’t be able to succeed within two months.
This extra time was due to the three Plane Guardians sacrificing themselves to bolster and gain time for the beings of Feinan!
This time was too valuable. He had to make full use of it to increase his strength.
Legends, in this terrible era, barely had the ability to step on the stage.
Ruler of the Night was a very powerful class during peaceful times, but at this juncture, it was far from enough.
Thinking of this, Marvin took a deep breath and eventually shattered a bone.

He might not be able to directly help the Great Elven King and the others fight the Gods, but someone else could.
That was the reason he shattered this bone.
Instantly, an ancient aura awakened in the west.
On the Dead Area Continent, a dark space was torn apart and a huge skeleton floated out into the sky.
As many watched in alarm, flesh grew on the skeleton.
The world became gloomier because this was a recovering Astral Beast!
Although Eric could be considered rather small for an Astral Beast, for the common people, this was already a dreadful creature as big as a mountain range.
Eric awakened from his slumber.
With his strong spiritual power, he instantly noticed the frightening changes that had taken place in Feinan.
He saw the people softly weeping all across Feinan and read the memories of some in a flash.
“So it was like this.”
“What you said before, it is today?”
An indignant voice echoed in Marvin’s mind.
Far in the east, Marvin slowly nodded. “I hope you can help.”
“I don’t seem to have anything else to do.” An image of that shy youth image appeared momentarily in Marvin’s mind.
People looked on in confusion as the Astral Beast wrapped itself in supreme power and tore through the sky.
Eric chased after the Great Elven King and the others to reach the stage of the battle.
No one knew the origins of this Astral Beast.
He was nameless.
Like that previous time this world faced a disaster, the youth once again went to sacrifice himself in silence.
It was only thanks to this kind of person that this world could keep existing.
…
The Universe Magic Pool’s stage was already very lively.
Nicholas and the others chose to go up because the Universe Magic Pool had yet to be destroyed!
Only one layer had been broken.
The Universe Magic Pool was built very particularly and had at least three layers.
Moreover, each layer was sturdier than the previous one.
These barriers protected Feinan from external invasions.
The Great Elven King and the others didn’t leave the Universe Magic Pool’s protection.
On the contrary, they relied on the Universe Magic Pool’s defenses to fight the Gods.
The Universe Magic Pool had its own will.
It also knew how to resist. The appearance of the three Plane Guardians meant that it had allies now.
Although this will was quite simple, it could at least distinguish between enemies and allies.
Therefore, the appearance of the three Plane Guardians caused many of the weaker Gods’ expressions to sink.
They knew that they wouldn’t be the opponents of these three if they fought one-on-one.
And with the support of the Universe Magic Pool, it was very likely going to be a long battle of attrition.
Some of the Gods might even fall!
The Gods had attacked the Universe Magic Pool in order to progress!
But they cared a lot about their lives.
Thus, the appearance of the Great Elven King and the other two Plane Guardians made them slow their attacks.
Many weak Gods even began to conserve their strength.
Both sides were separated by the Universe Magic Pool as they watched each other carefully.
That central shadow was silent for a moment before saying, “What you are doing is meaningless.”
“The Pool will shatter sooner or later. This continent will inevitably be ruled by Gods.”
“Moreover… Don’t think that you can truly restrict us. You are not Gods after all. And I am unwilling to attack a former comrade-in-arms.”
The old man lifted his wine jug and laughed heartily, “Former comrade?”
“Anuba Grant. [Dawn and Protection God]. Do you still remember your previous oaths?”
“The moment you ascended, you stopped being that young shepherd protecting the weak. Your divinity swallowed your humanity. And you still have the face to calmly put on a show now?”
Anuba’s face sank. As one of the three big shots of the New Gods, his Divine Power had reached a very high level. He was almost one of the most powerful existences of this universe.
“Not everyone is worth protecting. Look at those people on the ground. They are selfish, ignorant, arrogant, and greedy… they control and manipulate others for the sake of their “dreams”. They lose their minds to some shallow goals, ridiculously chasing after their so-called “love”. They are idle, selfish, and unrestrained. And they insist on calling that “freedom”. These people don’t need to exist.”
“They aren’t the targets of my protection. I need to purify this land, but for that, I need to get rid of these insects to make those who are truly worth protecting appear.”
Anuba’s voice echoed powerfully through Feinan from the distant Universe Magic Pool.
His voice seemed to carry a strange power.
Many people who had risen up to fight now were less confident.
A dispirited expression appeared on their faces.
But before they could be affected much more, a roar tore through the Universe!
“Even if you are a God, you have no right to determine the life and death of others!”
“How could you act so righteous in a war you’re fighting for your own benefit?!”
“Come! Come! Let this insignificant mortal fight with you Gods!”
Eric’s angry voice also spread across the entire world.
The Astral Beast’s body pierced straight through the Universe Magic Pool!
He was actually attacking directly!
Tearing deep into the Gods’ lines!
The Great Elven King and the other two were startled by his action. They wanted to stop him but it was too late, as Eric had already bravely rushed out!
A few weak Gods paled and hurriedly got out of the way.
The huge Astral Beast wandered on the periphery of the Universe Magic Pool!
His body spread for kilometers and his wings were sharp like blades as he casually travelled back and forth between the Gods!
For a moment, the entire group of Gods was in disorder!
The only ones who weren’t disturbed were the three Gods in the middle.
“Foolish,” a figure next to the God of Dawn and Protection said.
The next moment, the three New Gods with immense Magic Power worked together and aimed at the powerful Astral Beast, Eric!
…
The fight in the sky made many forget to breathe.
The battle between the Gods on one side and the Plane Guardians and the Astral Beast on the other attracted everyone’s attention.
The people didn’t notice that the Wizard Monsters at their sides were lessening.
Because at that split second, all the Wizards transforming into monsters heard a peaceful and calming voice.
“Those who believe in me can be saved.”
<
br /> “I am Dark Phoenix, the God of Magic.”
“In the name of the God of Magic, I command the Chaos Magic Power: The followers of the Magic God are not to have their wills invaded by Chaos.”
A bright flame lit up in the southern part of Steel City!
Dark Phoenix’s body rose slowly, her eyes wide open as they gradually turned pure white!
Marvin noticed immediately and reacted. “That woman is finally making her move!”
She chose the best timing to advance!

Outside Feinan, the group of Gods was in chaos.
Eric used the Astral Beast’s body to attack crazily because he knew he was on a time limit.
He would soon disappear now that he had been awakened by Marvin.
Before his soul faded, he would use his last breath to make the greatest contribution he could.
Although that smaller Astral Beast wasn’t the kind of frightening existence that could destroy the entire plane, its strength was considerable.
Especially since Eric was completely disregarding his life. Many Gods were worrying.
The Divine Spells the Gods were most proficient at had little effect on the Astral Beast. With Eric’s immense resistance, he actually came out undaunted from the Divine Spells of the three strongest Gods. This Astral Beast had been very powerful at its peak, to an extent that was truly shocking.
But many Gods could see that Eric was already an arrow at the end of its flight. As long as they could withstand his last throes, they should be fine.
What kept them on guard was the three Plane Guardians.
They were more cautious than Eric and used the Universe Magic Pool as cover.
With the protection of the Universe Magic Pool, they could safely sneak attack the weak Gods fleeing from Eric. A few Gods didn’t notice and were almost ended by the Three Plane Guardians. But Gods were Gods after all. Each of them had gone through the tumultuous times of the 3rd Era.
They had enough life-saving tricks, and although the scene was very fierce and some were brought to a life and death crisis, none fell.
But during the battle, a frightening aura spread across Feinan, making everyone somewhat distracted.
“Someone is ascending?”
