The terrifying giant dragon spat out golden-red flames from its mouth and nose. Those who were a bit closer instantly turned into white ash.

"Giant... Giant dragon?"

The peak demigod expert of the slaughter plane stared with wide, terrified eyes as he stammered.

His legs couldn't help but tremble. Only by personally facing this giant dragon would he know how terrifying this pressure was!

"Du Lu."

Joelson called out softly.

Du Lu lowered his mountain-like head, enjoying Joelson's caress.

Everyone looked at this scene in astonishment. This terrifying giant dragon seemed to be extremely respectful towards this divine domain-level human.

"Destroy them."

Joelson lowered his hand and said in a low voice.

Du Lu received the order and slowly raised his head. A gust of wind blew, causing the surrounding people to lose their balance.

The people in the slaughter plane fled in all directions in fear. As they fled, they kept turning their heads to look at the mountain-like dragon in fear.

A golden-red light lit up in Du Lu's mouth and he suddenly spat out a blazing flame!

The void melted in this flame, turning into a charred black liquid that flowed.

The remaining ten people in the slaughter plane couldn't resist at all. They were instantly annihilated, not leaving even a speck of dust behind. They had completely disappeared.

The people from the Church of Light stared at the shocking scene in front of them, stunned on the spot.

They didn't know whether they were afraid of the giant dragon or happy that their enemy had been wiped out.

Tarth looked at the tall and slender figure on the giant dragon's mountain-like head and swallowed with difficulty.

Then, he bent down, lowered his head, and said respectfully, "Thank you... Thank you, sir, for saving my life!"

Joelson glanced at tars indifferently and ignored him. He turned to stroke Du Lu's big head and said, "Unfortunately, I can't let you go back here."

Because Joelson entered the ranch space from the Land of Slaughter, he couldn't return directly through the ranch space.

Although he could summon a dragon, he could only return through the space crack he came from before.

Joelson shook his head. After Du Lu's transformation, his body was too huge.

He was like a mountain range or a continent flying in the sky. It was impossible not to attract attention.

"I'm the luckiest one to be by my father's side."

Du Lu growled. His loud roar shook the ears of the people of the Church of Light.

Joelson did not know what to say. Other than the cloud dragon and the Dark Demon Dragon, all the dragons in the ranch called him father. He must have learned it from Curtis.

"Joelson?"

A familiar voice sounded.

Joelson looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar figure.

"The Light Throne?"

...

Night.

Joelson and the people of the Church of Light sat in front of a bonfire.

There was no night here, but the light of the blood-red sun was weakening periodically, making the desert seem as if it had entered the night.

Du Lu coiled his body around them, surrounding them like a mountain range.

"Diaboli, why are you here? Is the central continent's Light Throne no longer suitable?"

Joelson said jokingly.

He did not expect to meet an acquaintance of the central continent here. After he left the central continent, he did not know how the central continent was doing.

Now that he saw the Light Throne, his mood was very good.

Diaboli rubbed his head and laughed embarrassedly. "What Light Throne? It's just an ordinary divine realm."

The people from the Church of Light also laughed.

Diaboli looked at Joelson and asked, "Do you still remember Tockden?"

Joelson recalled that back then, he had used the Church of Light's teleportation array to return to the southern region. The peak-stage saint-level knight that he had traveled with seemed to be called Tockden.

Joelson nodded.

Diaboli continued, "After you left the central continent, another ten years passed. Tockden successfully ascended to the divine realm and took over my position. Thus, I ascended to the heavenly realm to serve the God of Light."

Joelson was stunned. "What did you say?"

"I left the central continent for ten years?"

Joelson asked in disbelief, a hint of shock in his eyes.

Diaboli gave him a strange look and said, "No, I've been in the heavenly realm for ten years. In total, you've been away from the central continent for twenty years."

Joelson's expression gradually turned ugly.

Diaboli suddenly thought of something and asked in puzzlement, "Oh right, didn't you go to the higher Plane of Fate with Archer?"

Joelson shook his head and explained to him what had happened to him after he left the central continent.

Diaboli also revealed a puzzled expression. "I'm not too sure about that either."

Tarth thought for a moment before saying, "It was during the period when Sir lost consciousness!"

Because Joelson had saved them, other than Diaboli, who had a good relationship with Joelson, everyone else called him sir.

Even though he was only at the deity level, no one dared to look down on him.

After all, both Joelson himself and his giant dragon were far too terrifying!

"What do you mean?"Joelson asked, puzzled.

"It has been nearly twenty years since the Lord was captured by the people of the Land of Slaughter and sent to the Land of Slaughter. This is quite normal. It will take at least fifty years to travel from the plane of the central continent to the plane where the Land of Slaughter is located."

Tarth continued, "The person who attacked the Lord should be a peak god. This is the only way to reach the Land of Slaughter within twenty years."

Joelson's face was unsightly. The Land of Slaughter had no connection with the outside world. He had always thought that he had only left the central continent for a year or so.

He had never imagined that an entire twenty years had passed!

Putting aside the fact that he had wasted 20 years of cultivation time, he did not know how his family in the central continent had fared over the past 20 years.

Diaboli seemed to have seen through Joelson's doubts and said, "Joelson, when I left, your family was very good. Moreover, I have told Tockden that he must not let anything happen to your family."

Joelson heaved a sigh of relief. His lifespan was very long because of the Spring of Life and Hope.

He could still afford to waste twenty years of cultivation time.

As long as nothing happened to his family.

Tarth seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, "Oh right, Lord Joelson, how did you escape from the Land of Slaughter? As far as I know, no one has ever successfully escaped from the Land of Slaughter!"

"I killed the overseer of the Land of Slaughter, and then I escaped."

Joelson hid the matter regarding the ranch.

Tarth thought for a moment, then nodded. "That's true. A hundred years ago, the master of the Land of Slaughter had gone to the plane of slaughter and hadn't returned. The overseer was at most at the god level. It's normal that he wasn't a match for you."

A hint of surprise flashed through Joelson's eyes.

"The master of the Land of Slaughter you speak of is Augustellan?"
