Chapter 529: The Sphinx’s Treasure

In the main world and even across the entire multiverse, the title of “Supreme God” has become an elusive legend—even among the gods themselves.
If a powerful pantheon with a supreme god and three higher gods could still be destroyed in battle, just imagine what that war must have been like! Those present could no longer fathom it!
“What’s so strange about a Supreme God?”
The Sphinx couldn’t understand why others were so surprised. In the universe it once inhabited, which pantheon didn’t have at least one god at the Supreme God level to support it? Otherwise, they would have long been absorbed or destroyed by other pantheons.
Of course, it was quite clever. It had only told its new master what it knew. Seeing that Donald showed no reaction, it didn’t explain anything further to the others.
After the remaining will of the Earthly King Enlil entrusted itself to Donald, it truly began to regard Donald as its new master, respecting and loving him—not out of obligation to a contract, but out of its own choice.
It trusted its original master’s judgment and wisdom. If he had chosen Donald as his successor, it meant Donald’s character and intelligence were recognized by him!
Just then, there was a violent shaking of the earth—the mountain where the core temple of the Divine Tomb began to collapse. Without its master, the Divine Tomb had entered a self-destruct mode. Even if it didn’t self-destruct, the remaining divine essence would be wiped out by creatures like the God-Eating Insects.
“Oh no!”
The Sphinx cried out in urgency.
“What’s going on?”
Hearing its master’s question, the Sphinx didn’t bother explaining. It only shouted, “My treasures are still in there! I can’t let them be destroyed along with the divine kingdom!”
Then it dived into one of the temples and quickly brought out a pair of objects glowing with divine light, along with a golden candelabrum in its mouth.
After setting down the items, the Sphinx was about to turn back to save its treasures when it suddenly froze. It heard its master say, “Why rush? Take me there!”
Only then did the Sphinx realize it. It didn’t have the ability to store things, but its new master had a vast space at his disposal!
It bent down to let its master climb onto its back, then dashed into a cave carved behind one of the temples.
This was its former residence—a vast square hall carved out of the mountain by the craftsmen of the divine kingdom. Magnificent and towering Roman columns stood there, making it look less like a monster’s lair and more like a temple dedicated to the gods!

After all, as a servant of the Earthly King, though the Sphinx’s status in the Babylonian pantheon was not as high as that of the powerful true gods, even the ordinary true gods treated it with courtesy, and the messengers of the divine realms as well as mortals regarded it as one of the gods. That was certainly true—after all, the Sphinx was also a demi-god, and due to its unique form of existence, its combat strength even surpassed that of many true gods!

After arriving in this hall, Donald, regardless of how many things were inside, waved his hand and released divine light to clear the entire hall inside and outside. All items outside the buildings fell into the space created by the projection of the Book of Truth.

When it was time to return and reunite with the others, Donald noticed the reluctance and sadness in the Sphinx’s eyes. So, before the divine realm began to collapse and spread to its core, he waved his hand again and unleashed immense divine light, bringing most of the still-intact buildings in the core of the divine realm, along with the mountains beneath, into the projected space.

Although this would consume some of his divine power, Donald wasn’t the kind of heartless true god. Besides, he liked the architectural style of the Babylonian divine realm. When he returned to the main world to reunite with his true form, he could simply create a separate temple area in ancient Babylonian style within the divine realm!

Before the Divine Tomb Island collapsed, the group had already taken to the air and flown hundreds of miles away to avoid being affected and to avoid extra troubles.

Witnessing the collapse of a divine tomb site as large as a continent, everyone present felt regret and shock. At the same time, they became even more determined to strengthen their own powers. If even a once-mighty pantheon with a supreme god could be reduced to ashes like this, what more could these demi-gods and legends do?

Only by constantly keeping up with the pace of time could they maintain their peak strength and avoid regretting having wasted time in the future!

“Let’s go! There’s too much noise here. I guess all beings that can sense it will gather here. We need to find another place to explore!”

After saying that, Donald turned to the demi-god puppet and said, “Sphinx, lead the way. We’re going to the nearest large divine tomb site!”

“Yes, master!”

Hearing the orders from its new master, the Sphinx immediately turned and flew ahead in a certain direction.

Since the Sphinx was part of the Babylonian pantheon, even though the rules of the divine realm had changed due to the great war, it still wasn’t affected by those changes. So, Donald ordered it to lead everyone on their journey.

With Sphinx as the guide, they quickly found a relatively small-scale divine tomb.
“Master, this is merely a divine tomb formed after the death of a lower-tier god. Should I search for another?”
Donald glanced at the eager legendary warriors and shook his head. “No need! It won’t take much time to deal with this tomb! Even if it’s small, it’s still a rare find!”
Babylon’s supreme god, Anu, and the rival King Odin of the Northern Lands disappeared in battle. Marduk and Ea self-destructed one after another, leaving Babylon with only the higher-tier god Enlil. He too perished before the divine kingdom and realm could float into the multiverse. Of course, the true gods of the opposing pantheons didn’t fare any better. Aside from the wolf god Fenrir, who narrowly escaped through a spatial rift during the self-destruction that destroyed both the Earthly King and his allies, all the remaining true gods of the Northern pantheon and their followers were buried with Enlil!
Today, their divine tombs still float within this divine kingdom realm. As a result, in the Ruins of Oblivion—what was once the Babylonian divine kingdom—there are three divine tombs belonging to higher-tier gods, hundreds formed by middle-tier gods, and thousands more at the lower-tier god level.
As for those demi-gods and divine messengers who have just entered immortality, they either reside within the true gods’ tombs or are scattered across the Ruins of Oblivion like meteorites. Since it’s rare for them to form complete divine tombs, their numbers are incalculable. This doesn’t even include the demi-god warriors who have died over the years while entering the Ruins of Oblivion along with their belongings!
The protective power of a lower-tier god’s tomb isn’t very strong, and the owner of such a tomb only possesses the strength of a top-tier demi-god. They were quickly defeated by the three legends and several demi-gods working together. In return, they obtained a divine essence equivalent to that of a demi-god, yet carrying the divine powers of the original true god, along with some scattered immortal artifacts of demi-god and lower-tier god levels.
