As Clive transformed into a gentle breeze and disappeared into the wasteland world, everyone fell into silence. It seemed that each person had felt a majestic power emanating from Clive, a power beyond imagination.
David stood quietly in place, gazing into the distance. He knew that Clive had placed his trust in him, and this trust filled David with unwavering determination.
“Clive, rest assured, I won’t let you down,” he whispered to himself, gripping the Star River Staff tightly in his hand.
In the wasteland world, the sunlight was warm, and a gentle breeze brushed by. Unbeknownst to them, every inch of this land began to sprout beautiful Tibetan gentian flowers. These flowers grew rapidly, and in a short time, they transformed the desolation into a sea of blossoms. David stood amidst this floral paradise.
Even after becoming the Spirit Lord of the Divine Clan, David did not stop. He knew that the burden on his shoulders was heavy, as it concerned the existence of the Divine Clan and the Beast Clan. So he shuttled between the two worlds, and in doing so, he discovered the truth about the impending apocalypse.
The Beast Clan had disrupted the peaceful coexistence among the three races in their quest for world domination. They had torn through the heavens, bringing about the apocalypse. This prompted the entire human race to take up arms and resist.
David was one of them. Now, the wasteland world had quieted down, but the apocalypse had not ceased. Although David had established the peaceful territories of Dragon City and Phoenix City in the apocalypse, the wastelands were vast, and various cities were occupied by the Beast Clan and the undead.
So, David led his team back to the apocalypse. The guards of Dragon City and Phoenix City, upon seeing David’s return, displayed excited expressions. They had a vague sense that David’s return meant they were about to embark on something significant.
And indeed, it was the case. David quickly announced a war against the Beast Clan. In this moment, emotions ran high as everyone brandished their weapons and charged towards the cities.
Empowered by David’s invisible buff, they broke through one city after another, wiping out the Beast Clan members. The formidable Beast Clan members were swiftly dispatched by David with a snap of his fingers. In just three days, David had reclaimed all the cities within a thousand-mile radius.
After conquering these cities, David immediately began comprehensive renovations. Simultaneously, he dispatched team after team to hunt down the distant Beast Clan members.
In just one month, all the cities previously occupied by the Beast Clan in the apocalypse had become David’s territories. His team had grown to over a hundred thousand members.
Among them were Espers and survivors. Regardless of their strength, David was their only god in their hearts, so they willingly carried out all their duties within the cities.
Surveying the revitalized cities, David nodded in satisfaction. At this moment, the Beast Clan had been completely eradicated.
The world had returned to normal. Peace and prosperity had been restored.
David brought out all the resources from his system warehouse and continuously upgraded and transformed the cities. Soon, one modern city after another reappeared on the planet.
The inhabitants of these cities regarded David as their patron saint. After resolving the apocalypse, David returned to the wasteland world once again.
Reflecting on the first time he had set foot on this land with Danny, David’s memories were still vivid. However, he hadn’t anticipated that in such a short time, he would completely rule this world. Moreover, the wasteland world had transformed into something entirely different; it was now filled with the fragrance of flowers, and various mountains, rivers, and streams had appeared on the surface. ｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏ𝚖
No longer were there super-powered exotic beasts running amok in the woods; instead, cute little animals roamed freely. Watching this scene before him, David smiled heartily. He felt that everything he had done was worthwhile. Regardless of the hardships he had endured and the dangers he had faced, the current view of the desolate world made him feel proud of his accomplishments as a victor and as someone with great power.
In the wasteland world’s Dark City, David had transformed it into a metropolis. Simultaneously, he had brought some Espers and survivors here, completely revitalizing the metropolis. This turned the previously monster-infested wasteland into a place with the warmth of human life.
Although David had become the highest authority in the Divine Clan, he had not forgotten Clive’s instructions. He was determined to contribute his lifetime of effort to the rise of the human race and the peace among the three races.
Sitting in the grand hall, David looked at those in attendance: Arnold, Sophie, Duke, Sally, Charles, Fatso, Viola, Emlyn, Duane, Shirley, Mandy, Cola, and Little Black. He nodded in satisfaction. Whether they had joined his team from the beginning or later on, all of them had provided significant assistance. He was grateful for their help and for their constant companionship. Likewise, those in attendance felt the same way.
If it weren’t for David at the beginning, they would likely have become wandering souls and ghosts here. Where else would they have the opportunity to stand here today? So, their gazes towards David were filled with respect. In their eyes, David wasn’t just a god; he was also their belief.
“This is great; it’s the first time our team is so complete. I suggest we hold a feast today. What do you all think?” Arnold suggested with a smile, instantly gaining unanimous agreement from those around him.
David smiled faintly and immediately arranged for preparations to begin. In the evening, a feast exclusively for David’s team began in the Dark City. Everyone raised their glasses, their faces beaming with happiness, completely devoid of the tension and fatigue from the past.
Seeing their joyous faces, David quietly made his way to a small hill outside the city. Standing at the hilltop, he gazed into the distance. He knew that he had obtained everything he had ever wanted, and he had become a truly unique existence in this world.
“A long-awaited life of happiness,” David murmured.
At this moment, Sally appeared behind him. Looking at his tall figure, she wore a happy smile on her face, then opened her arms and tightly embraced David.
“This world has you. That’s wonderful,” Sally said gently.
David smiled and reached out to pat her head. Then, he looked up at the night sky and whispered, “My name is David, and in this world… there is no longer an apocalypse…”
