Durin's Diary

Chapter 940 I laugh at others for not seeing through things

When Dulin returned to the base, it was still raining heavily.

Spring rain comes and goes as it pleases.

He landed at the end of the track, took off his armor, and the protective shield shielded him from the torrential rain.

Dulin took out his cigarette case, put a cigarette to his lips, and then patted his pockets but couldn't find his lighter.

Perhaps it was because the bag fell out during the initial battle with the puppet bone's flying machine. Thinking of this, Dulin extended his index finger and lit a flame on his fingertip to ignite the cigarette.

As he walked under the eaves, Dulin smoked a cigarette while thinking about how to deal with his daughters later.

Aside from Alyssa and Elaine, those two silly girls, none of the rest of the girls were easy to deal with, especially the psionic team at home, each one a Bloodhound. They could sense something was wrong if Dulin was even slightly stronger.

The current Dulin is fundamentally a different person—from a mortal to a god, it's a one-way ticket from a lower dimension to a higher dimension. I am me, but I am not me.

Dulin can fake it, but there are some things he can't fake, or rather... he can fool those who are not his partners, but he can't fool the people closest to him.

Thinking of this, Du Lin, feeling somewhat helpless, prepared to return to the Candle Dragon Pavilion. He had become a god, but Du Lin was still suppressing his true realm—the evil gods in this world had not been completely eradicated, and becoming a true god would not benefit anyone. In the absence of danger and battle, Du Lin had to suppress his realm to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

The door could no longer be opened carelessly. For the young people in the Candle Dragon Pavilion who were responsible for listening, the effect of the deity opening the door was no different from killing them.

Damn it, where the hell am I supposed to find a phone in this desolate wilderness?

Just as Dulin was about to smash the glass and enter the navigation tower to see if there were any walkie-talkies or similar gadgets, a portal opened beside him.

Holy crap, who the hell is this? The door opened right in my face, they must be up to no good!
Just as Dulin was preparing for battle, he sensed a familiar soul wavelength emerging from the door.

The next second, he instinctively opened his arms and accepted the fact that Anta had jumped into his embrace. As the shield was removed, the wind brought large raindrops that fell on him and her.

“You finally took that step, and my nightmare has become a reality.” She sobbed in his arms, Anta, who was clutching Dulin’s collar tightly, looked at Dulin and said, “Give me back my Dulin.”

Dulin sighed, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to turn out like this, but when the sky falls, someone has to stand up..." Dulin fell silent, because the girl in front of him burst into tears, "I'm so useless. When you left on the train, I said I would become stronger to protect you."

You still remember? What nonsense are you talking about?

Dulin rubbed her head: "Don't be silly. There's no such thing as the strong being protected by the weak. Go ask your grandfather and see what he says to you."

At this point, Dulin raised his hand, and a large umbrella made of vines and leaves sheltered the two people under the eaves from the wind and rain.

"What are you going to do next? Are you going to kill other evil gods? Are you going to abandon us sisters?"

"Nonsense! Even if you don't acknowledge me, I still acknowledge you. There's a saying among the people of Changtang: 'When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.' So no matter who you are, I will make arrangements for you, at least until I truly become a god..."

"You didn't become a god?" Anta looked at Dulin.

Dulin nodded: "I did not ascend the throne, nor did I forge a divine kingdom. I am still me. I want to become a god like the Nameless One, not one of those pathetic puppets imprisoned in the divine office."

"And then, like the Nameless One, go and save the world?" Anta asked, his eyes wide.

“If I had that kind of strength, I would indeed like to do it. During my time in the Three Passes and Four Seas, I have seen too much suffering and too much sacrifice. The tombstones in the mountains inside the Jade Gate Pass are the burial sites of countless youths. Many of those young people were even younger than us, but now they lie quietly in the mountains.”

At this point, Dulin looked at Anta. He didn't know what would happen to her, nor did he dare to think about it or use his power to peer into her heart, because he didn't want to do so, or rather... he didn't dare.

He couldn't give her a peaceful and harmonious home. If she followed him, her life would be spent in struggle, and it was even very likely that her life would be forever.

In the end, I was the one who let her down. Dulin thought this, this sorrow, until the girl beside him pulled his arm into her embrace.

“I’ve realized it. You’re still the Dulin I know, so I agree. I will follow you.” The girl beside her looked at Dulin as she spoke: “Dulin, how much longer are we going to have to wait here? Aren’t you going to open the door?”

"No, my silly girl, is it appropriate for me to open the door?"

"Huh? Ah, right, you really can't open the door with your current strength. How about this, we'll open the door and sneak in."

"now it's right."

Dulin laughed after he finished speaking—it has to be the girl he raised since she was a child; she's just that sensible.

Thinking about it this way, life may be short, but it can still be quite enjoyable.

With that in mind, Dulin followed Anta into the portal.

………………

At the same time, in Zhulong Pavilion.

Looking at the shattered detection scope, Chief Ping stared expressionlessly at the young man who had slid off his chair and onto the floor.

The latter is receiving treatment from a class of healing masters.

Meanwhile, the squad leader of the detection team next to him had a gloomy face: "Madam Anta has a wavelength that left the capital. Seven minutes and fifteen seconds later, she returned, and then a god-level being entered along with her wavelength. Xiao Ke immediately slid off his chair."

"Send a messenger to the palace, and also ask Prime Minister Luo. Lady Anta brought back a thunderbolt from Shangjin. Ask her if there are any clues there." The Prefect Ping said, glancing out the window.

If it were a foreign enemy, Shangjing would have been awash in blood by now. But strangely, that wavelength disappeared after entering Shangjing.

"Luo Xiangguo on the phone, Chief!" an operator shouted as he ran to the door.

Chief Ping followed him to the switchboard room, picked up the microphone, and said, "Prime Minister Luo, it's me."

"Don't worry, Madam Anta asked me for the coordinates of the Kamitsu base. He went there to pick up a little madman."

This answer made Chief Ping tremble. He glanced at the microphone, confirming that it wasn't some kind of demon or monster in disguise: "Come pick him up? Didn't you say he was crazy?!"

“He’s gone mad. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to lift the throne up without sitting down, kill the god and then use its flesh and blood to nourish the earth beneath his feet… He must have gone back to the first floor of the Candle Dragon Pavilion with Lady Anta. You should know what to do next.”

"From now on, no outsiders will be allowed to stay on the first floor. Dulin, he..."

“We should call him ‘Master’ now.” Luo Xiangguo sighed after saying this. “It’s getting late. Remember to have the detection team record this wavelength. This should be the best gift he left for this land. Tell the young people that learning to keep quiet is also a virtue.”

"Yes, I know."

After the other end of the phone hung up, Chief Ping first gave a silencing order, then walked to the window and looked at the night view in the distance.

In the far east, a glimmer of light shines.

As it has been ordained for millennia, it breaks through the darkness for all living beings on this land.
