Chapter 854 Return To Earth

A lot has been happening in the Divine Alliance. Normally, Poseidon and Hera would have intervened to some extent.

But currently, Hera is deeply engrossed in comprehending the powers of the ultimate cosmic truths, making it impossible for her to leave her meditation.

Poseidon, the god of the sea, did sense the disturbances in the Divine Realm, but he wasn’t in a hurry.

After all, with William around, what was there to worry about?

He only leisurely returned to the Divine Realm once everything had settled down.

When a major event occurred in Metispolis, Poseidon sensed Lucien’s formidable power and mistook it for William, so he followed suit.

William had previously told him to keep his distance, but this could be considered a chance encounter, right?

Poseidon transformed himself into the guise of a young magician, handsome and elegant. If not for his magical robe, one might mistake him for a movie star from a film company.

William and Alice had also concealed their auras and were walking down the street when they unexpectedly ran into Poseidon.

Alice and Zeus didn’t recognize him as Poseidon. William, seeing Poseidon, pretended not to notice him. Needless to say, if Lucien couldn’t detect William’s aura, Poseidon certainly couldn’t either.

“Young man, please wait!” Poseidon called out as he approached William and stopped.

William turned to look at him. “Are you talking to me?”

Poseidon smiled. “Yes, for some reason, I find the aura you emit very pleasing. This must be fate. Do you have time for a drink?”

Could it be that he recognized me?

A flicker of confusion crossed William’s eyes, but he quickly dismissed it.

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

It must be that Poseidon found the aura of their masks somewhat familiar, or felt a kinship with William, which naturally made him pay more attention.

William shook his head. “Not interested, I don’t drink!”

Poseidon laughed. “Why refuse so decisively? You currently possess the strength of a Nature Deity. If you wish to advance further and become stronger, you’ll need a good mentor. Your current master is…” His smile froze as he spoke.

He had tried to divine who William’s master was but found he couldn’t.

“Is it… you?”

Poseidon had already grasped the power of the ultimate cosmic truths, and he couldn’t divine someone…

There are only a handful of such beings in the entire universe!

He had come to Metispolis sensing an extremely powerful energy. Who else could this person be?

William responded with a question. “From what you just said, are you looking to take me as your disciple?”

Poseidon was speechless.

William asked again, “Should I kneel then?”

“Ha ha ha! Don’t joke with me. I really didn’t expect to meet you here,” Poseidon laughed awkwardly. “Since we’ve met, why don’t you come over to my place?”

William didn’t hide his disinterest. “What’s fun at your place? I’m not going!”

“Where are you headed then? I’m free, why not join you?” Poseidon was shamelessly eager to accompany William.

For Poseidon, besides Zeus, he only enjoyed talking with William.

But Zeus was nowhere to be found.

Thus, sticking with William was the most interesting option.

“If you’re free, then come along. I have some things to discuss with you.” William was in a good mood today and didn’t mind an extra companion.

Most importantly, William had decided to return to Earth soon.

He might never come back to the Divine Realm.

Perhaps, this was his last meeting with Poseidon.

“You’ve been with me to the arena of the Cosmic Entity Guardians before. How do you think you’d fare in the arena with your current strength?”

William knew Poseidon loved to fight, and at Poseidon’s level of power, curiosity was even stronger.

He would inevitably participate in the Cosmic Entity Guardians’ battle himself.

Poseidon walked beside William and whispered, “My strength is still far lacking.”

William extended his hand, and a golden light entered Poseidon’s forehead. “You should be able to absorb this and gain the strength to fight. I’ve heard there’s a sacred city of a Cosmic Entity that I haven’t visited. If you’re interested, go take a look.”

“Remember Lucien? He should have gone there already,” William said. “Don’t worry, he probably won’t kill you.”

“Huh? Lucien? Kill me?”

William’s last remark made Poseidon feel uneasy.

His current strength wasn’t that weak, surely.

And the golden light William had given him contained immense energy, which could significantly boost his power.

He knew Lucien was the reincarnation of some great demon lord, but was that demon lord really that fearsome?

“I told you, he won’t kill you!”

Lucien’s mental state was similar to William’s now, and William believed that Lucien wouldn’t kill Poseidon.

…

Poseidon followed William and the others for two days.

The Divine Realm was indeed picturesque, filled with many exotic creatures. Alice had William take numerous photos with his phone, though it was clear her mind was elsewhere.

“Worried about your father?”

William reassured her, “Don’t worry, he’s fine.”

He had recently made a special trip to see Calvin, now his father-in-law, to put Alice at ease.

“It’s been many years since I last saw Dad.” Alice held William’s hand and spoke softly.

“Then let’s go back!” William wasn’t particularly interested in the scenery of the Divine Realm. Spending time touring with his partner often meant playing the role of a photographer…

There wasn’t much else to do.

Alice hadn’t seen her father for many years, and it was time for a visit.

Poseidon, understanding the significance of the golden light William had infused into him and the words spoken, gracefully chose to take his leave.

Zeus, on the other hand, had nowhere else to go and preferred to stay by William’s side.

After circling around for hundreds of thousands of years, he had returned to William’s side and didn’t want to leave.

Once they returned to Earth, it was still the apocalypse, but East 62nd Street in New York City was peaceful.

No mutated creatures dared step foot there.

After visiting Calvin at the Arcane Village base with Alice, she decided it was time to end the chaos.

Unlike William’s indifferent nature, Alice, as one of Earth’s powerful humans, couldn’t stand by idly when she had the capability to act.

“Do whatever you think is best,” William said upon returning to New York, resuming his life as if he had just come back after a fifty-year slumber, leisurely tidying up the yard.

Alice’s combat abilities might not have been top-tier in the Divine Realm, but back on Earth, even the so-called SSS-class mutated creatures were no match for her single sword strike.

William had no worries about her safety.

William had previously stated that he didn’t want to interfere too much with the affairs between humans and mutated creatures, but by sending Walker and Amy into the Doors of Evolution to retrieve artifacts and secret techniques, he had already significantly enhanced the overall strength of humanity.

Alice’s return was like adding a significant weight to the scales.

Mutated creatures can now converse and even argue with humans in various languages.

This has enabled direct negotiations between humans and mutated creatures.

William was absent, but Alice led Amy in both battles and negotiations.

In reality, these could hardly be called battles anymore.

With the Sword of Soulbreaker in hand, Alice merely had to display a fraction of her power to send the mutated creatures scurrying in fear.

Walker and the others were also wreaking havoc with top-tier artifacts.

The small disc in Amy’s hand was immensely powerful,merely summoning the spirits of ancient beasts caused all mutated creatures within thousands of miles to flee in terror. Even SSS-

class mutated creatures could only tremble in fear before the small disc, daring not to harbor any thoughts of resistance.

The negotiations went incredibly smoothly!

From then on, the territories of human cities and mutated creatures were very reasonably demarcated, each living their own lives. Even if there were occasional frictions, the human cities were no longer at risk of being massacred by mutated creatures.

As negotiations progressed, both mutated creatures and humans established their own alliances.

Due to her extraordinary combat abilities, Alice was elected as the supreme commander of the human alliance.

After returning to his home on East 62nd Street, William began to enjoy his leisurely daily life.

Four years later, human cities had largely returned to normal life.

In New York City, on East 62nd Street, William was lounging in a wingback chair reading a book.

A little girl, covered in dirt, called out in a sweet voice, “Daddy, make food!”

William slowly closed his book, glanced towards the kitchen, and said, “Isn’t your mom making food?”

The little girl looked towards the kitchen, then nodded vigorously, turned around, and climbed onto the over one-

meter-long Multi-eyed Golden Centipede in the yard, saying, “Goldy, let’s go play a bit more.”

William calmly opened his book again.

Alice, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen with a plate of something that looked like food. Seeing the little girl climbing back onto the Multi-eyed Golden Centipede, she couldn’t help but shout, “Olivia! Stop playing, come and eat.”

William glanced at the shrimp on Alice’s plate and commented, “You’ve put too much salt in this. You shouldn’t add so much salt to shrimp.”

Alice rolled her eyes at him and retorted, “You don’t cook.”

“Huh?” William slowly stood up and said to Olivia, “Olivia, come and eat.”

Olivia, already seated on the Multi-eyed Golden Centipede, looked at the dish in her mother’s hands, tears almost streaming down her face.

She was young, but she had already realized one thing: what her father served was delicious, while what her mother served was definitely hard to swallow…

But whatever her mother cooked, her father would always watch her eat it all…

Olivia tugged at the Multi-eyed Golden Centipede’s head, and understanding her cue, it immediately took off running!

William watched Olivia’s retreating figure with a smile, thinking how scared the child looked…

—End of the book.

After much thought, I decided to conclude the book today.
