Chapter 680: Chapter 592 God Above Gods Aio’s Blessing_3

Amberser had witnessed countless joys and sorrows, reunions and departures over the centuries, often so overwhelming that it left him gasping for air. But that was no excuse for forgetting.

The Lord of the Dawn fell silent for a moment, then said with a sigh, "Your soul is filled with ancient shackles, and it’s already remarkable that you’ve managed to stay sane. In this respect, you are very much like Arthur. I once issued three invitations to him to join my Divine Realm, but he refused them all. Each time he faced a desperate situation, I extended my hand to guide him forward, but each time he chose to stay in the past."

The first time, when Arthur Laine rose in rebellion as a hero set to save the world, the Lord of the Dawn had already decided to allow Arthur into His Divine Realm. But Arthur refused, instead betting his own fate in hopes that the Lord of the Dawn and the Dragon Pantheon would no longer influence the battles of the Mortal Realm.

The second time, Arthur Laine’s soul was tainted by the Dragon Blood Curse. The Lord of the Dawn invited him again, even willing to lose that bet, hoping that Arthur could enter the Bliss Realm—even at the cost of the Laine Empire’s decline. Clearly, Arthur Laine once again refused the invitation of the Lord of the Dawn and annihilated himself in extreme pain after taking down the resurrected Magic Dragon with a final pact.

The third time, Arthur Laine’s Heroic Spirit ascended to divinity through Kalsass’s Deification Technique, and the doors of the Bliss Realm were already open to him. However, Arthur Laine’s Heroic Spirit, no different from the man himself, didn’t hesitate to forsake his future. He used all his power to slay the reborn Magic Dragon, and once again, he perished.

Each time, Arthur Laine stayed in the past, trading his life for the future of others.

Although Amberser didn’t know the details, he could guess the general idea and humbly said, "That’s too high praise for someone like me. I’m just clinging to life; I’m nothing compared to Arthur."

Amberser spoke modestly, then shifted the conversation to something else.

"Respected Lord of the Dawn, I’m not here to beg to forget the past. I just wanted to ask if you have any other benefits for me."

Regardless of how ancient his soul was, Amberser now cared only for something tangible. Spiritual consolation was of no interest; he would rather have a few Divine Artifacts.

The Lord of the Dawn, as if anticipating Amberser’s direct approach, didn’t show any sign of offense and simply said, "I know what you want, but do you know what you want? Boasting that you will end the blood battle, is that truly what you desire?"

Amberser expressed his surprise, "Would you help me end the blood battle?"

"If that is your wish, I can intervene on your behalf. But are you certain that is what you want?"

The Lord of the Dawn’s straightforward response shocked Amberser. This was a matter concerning the entirety of Hell, and the Lord of the Dawn seemed ready to intervene without a second thought?

Wait, something was off. It seemed the Deity had more to say.

Since they were both being direct, Amberser didn’t beat around the bush, "Please don’t speak in riddles with a mortal whose wisdom and enlightenment are lacking. Great Lord of the Dawn, tell me what you truly mean."

The Lord of the Dawn smiled slightly and said to Amberser, "Then let’s tally the good deeds you have done."

Amberser shuddered, fearing this ’good deed’ might be a play on words, but judging from the Lord of the Dawn’s expression, there seemed to be no scoffing intent.

"Firstly, after you transformed into a Lich, you did not use any excuse to kill the innocent, and even when Allen attacked you, you still gave him a chance to live.

"Your restraint is commendable.

"Secondly, you discovered the hidden dangers of the Laine Empire in advance and have strived to eliminate them, committed to avoiding a world war, thereby indirectly reducing the sins committed by Laine.

"Your mercy is commendable.

"Lastly, you collaborated with Arthur to eliminate the greatest threat, ultimately winning my bet against the Dragon Pantheon.

"Your wisdom is commendable.

"And now, you rush to the aid of the collapsing Laine Empire, addressing external threats and facilitating the transfer of power in Laine, without even taking any advantages for yourself.

"Your generosity is commendable."

The Lord of the Dawn extended His right hand, and a radiant Holy Light appeared in His palm, transforming into a scroll aglow with sacred luminescence. The Lord of the Dawn handed the notable scroll to Amberser, then said, "I won’t waste time on other insignificant rewards. This is what you deserve, and it’s the wager I won from the Dragon Pantheon. This is a Resurrection Scroll blessed by God Above Gods Aio.

"As long as you write a name on it, you can perfectly resurrect anyone from any timeline. No matter if their fate is already destined, you can save them, but you only have one chance."
