Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start?

Chapter 476: Chapter472-Three Years of Seclusion



The booming voices of the Chief and others echoed, and Owen stared at them in a daze.

Although he knew that these people, as descendants of the Sacred Mountain, would

undoubtedly adhere to their ancestors' teachings and revere him as the Mountain Lord, their swift submission still left Owen a bit stunned.

"Chief, all of you may rise. From now on, we are one family," Owen said as he helped them to their feet.

However, the Chief and the other three Primordial God-level figures all earnestly pleaded,

"Mountain Lord, we hope you will restore the glory of The Alps from days of yore!"

Their expressions were solemn.

Owen understood that these descendants of the Sacred Mountain held their oaths in the highest regard, so he responded,

"Everyone, now that The Alps have returned to the world, I promise to do everything in my power to restore the glory of the Sacred Mountain. From now on, this will also be my home!" Seeing Owen speak with such seriousness, the Chief and others all revealed heartfelt smiles. To them, Owen's talent and character were outstanding, and they truly saw hope for the revival of The Alps in him!

The other descendants of the Sacred Mountain also looked at Owen with admiration.

Their own talents and strength were already among the best in the world, yet in front of Owen, they seemed insignificant.

The scene of Owen slaying three Primordial Gods was deeply etched into their minds.

"Mountain Lord, now that we have broken the seal and can leave this place, what are your plans? Shall we immediately depart and rally other mages to counterattack The Celestial?" the Chief asked respectfully.

"No rush. It's still too soon to counterattack The Celestial," Owen replied, shaking his head.

"We need more time to prepare and must not be careless."

Although the Chief and the others were powerful, and the Azure Kingdom had been making preparations, the sudden appearance of Tsukihime made Owen extremely cautious.

The Celestial was far from as simple as it seemed before. Once they truly confronted The Celestial, they needed to ensure complete success!

Owen had just obtained three distinct Dao Laws and needed to quickly comprehend them to condense his own Dao Law.

Only then, Owen believed, would it be the right time to leave.

The Chief and others looked gravely at Owen and nodded.

"Mountain Lord has a plan; we shall follow your orders!" the Chief replied respectfully.

The tribesmen behind the Chief also spoke in unison,

"We obey the Mountain Lord's orders!"

Seeing this, Owen nodded and said,

"Everyone, I will enter seclusion for a period of time. In the meantime, you should also cultivate here. Three years from now, when I emerge, it will be the day we return, and The Celestial will be overturned!"

As Owen spoke, his voice spread like waves, deafening.

Hearing this, the Chief and others all nodded earnestly.

"We obey the Mountain Lord's command!"

Three years was not a long time for the people here, who had already lived countless years in this place.

However, unlike before, when they lived aimlessly with distant and seemingly unattainable goals, now, with Owen as their leader, they saw hope and found motivation to cultivate.

"In these three years, we must train diligently so the Mountain Lord will see our progress!" "The Mountain Lord's current strength is already terrifying. Who knows how powerful he will become after three years of seclusion?"

The Chief and the other three Primordial God-level powerhouses were curious.

"The Mountain Lord is beyond our comprehension. For now, we should focus on improving ourselves..."

"Indeed. We must not hold the Mountain Lord back. This time, under his leadership, The Celestial will surely be defeated!"

...

As Owen sat cross-legged on the island of the ruined Dark Temple, Rachel glanced at him and asked puzzledly,

"Owen, during these three years, won't you miss Leslie or your daughter?"

Owen did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked up at the sky, narrowing his eyes. "Of course, I will miss them. But reuniting now would only bring temporary happiness. The Celestial and its people already have their sights set on us, and time is running out."

"Training here may seem harsh, but it will allow us to grow stronger. Only with great strength can we resist The Celestial and protect them. I have a strong feeling that once I comprehend my own Dao Law, I will be able to face The Celestial!"

Owen's voice grew heavier as he spoke.

Seeing this, Rachel, though unsure of the source of Owen's confidence, recalled the many miracles he had achieved and believed he could do it.

"Alright, I will protect you during your seclusion," Rachel said, standing silently beside him as his guardian.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

...

As Owen secluded himself to enhance his strength, chaos had erupted in Pure Land.

Caesar, leading the former Rebel Alliance, launched continuous attacks within Pure Land, purging those factions and strong individuals who refused to submit to The Celestial.

Every region of Pure Land was in turmoil.

Venus, leading a part of the Rebel Alliance, was no match for Caesar, especially after The Celestial intervened. They were completely overwhelmed and on the brink of defeat.

Fortunately, as Venus faced near-certain defeat, a towering figure emerged from the underworld cycle created by Owen-War Goddess!

This top-tier powerhouse, who had previously fought alongside the God of Light and the Lord of Stars against The Celestial, had returned!

Her appearance shocked countless people and temporarily reversed Venus's dire situation. However, everyone knew that this was just the beginning.

The Celestial had already targeted Venus and War Goddess. The current calm was merely the prelude to an even greater storm.

...

"Sigh, what a turbulent time. At least Caesar's attacks have stopped, and we can finally catch our breath."

"Yes. First, Sargeras led the Burning Legion to launch devastating attacks on Pure Land, then Forbidden Zone allied with Sargeras against Owen. Caesar betrayed us and unleashed Wraith Marshal but was slain by Leslie... So much chaos has occurred in such a short time."

"Now that Caesar has joined The Celestial, his power has grown terrifying. Even War Goddess can only barely suppress him. If Caesar launches another attack..."

The mages' expressions were grim. They had witnessed more upheavals in this era than in all

the previous ones combined!

Although they could catch their breath for now, they feared the ultimate battle between The Celestial and Venus was imminent.

This battle would decide their lives and futures.

More mages began to gather near the Emerald Dreamscape.

Leslie and the Azure Kingdom's reputation had spread across Pure Land, and many fearful mages saw them as a safe haven.

Moreover, Venus, the leader of the Rebel Alliance, had also stationed herself and her forces in the Emerald Dreamscape, making it the focus of attention.

As more people paid attention to the Emerald Dreamscape, rumors began to spread rapidly.

"Have you heard? They say Ysera, the lord of Emerald Dreamscape, is actually Leslie's maid. Even Venus, the leader of the Rebel Alliance, is just one of Leslie's maids!"

"That can't be true! I find the rumor that Leslie is the real leader of the Rebel Alliance much

more plausible."

...

Countless people debated this, finding it hard to believe.

After all, Ysera and Venus were both top-tier powerhouses and outstanding individuals.

How could they be someone else's maids?

However, the idea that Leslie might be the one to have them as her maids made some believe

it.

Leslie's ruthless reputation, coupled with more emerging evidence, lent credibility to the

rumors.
