Chapter 27 (2/2)

Many people subconsciously raised their heads to look.

They saw a divine bird that was emitting golden flames all over its body. It streaked across the distant sky and it was heading straight for the rebel army’s capital.

Swoosh!

In a blink of an eye, the divine bird that was emitting golden flames had appeared right before the First Elder eyes.

The person standing on top of the divine bird was a man who seemed to be in his forties.

“Zaencrest Harun, reporting for duty!”

“Hahaha, good, good!”

“Please rise. I never expected to meet another descendant of the Zaencrest bloodline within my lifetime!”

The first elder took the initiative to welcome him. The excitement on his face was beyond words.

“I also never expected for the Wilmot clan to still exist.”

Zaencrest Harun also had an excited expression on his face the moment he saw the First Elder.

Due to their fractured and incomplete history, no one from the rebel army had paid attention to the First Elder’s surname.

However, to those from the ancient clans, the First Elder’s surname was enough for them to pledge blind loyalty to the First Elder.

That was the authority that the “Wilmot” name held!

Throughout the rebel army, the First Elder was the only one who was a descendant of the Wilmot clan.

“Good, good. The Zaencrest clan had been missing in action for so long, I bet they didn’t expect you guys to take up 5 slots on the rankings the moment you returned!”

The First Elder laughed out loud.

“Did the Zaencrests make a pact with the Montchristophers to go into hiding?”

Zaencrest Harun furrowed his brows upon hearing the First Elder’s words. He responded indignantly, “First Elder, as you well know, both our great families had participated in the war of the ancient gods. The war was a calamitous one, and many deaths had ensued. In order to preserve our bloodlines, the Great God Rutherford sealed our families in a forbidden secret realm. It was for this reason alone that we barely escaped the calamity.”

Zaencrest Harun’s words had shocked everyone present.

After all, his words had shed some light on the rebel army’s mostly unknown history.

“Great God Rutherford? Is he a powerful god that existed in the Era of the Gods?”

Everyone became abnormally excited upon hearing Zaencrest Harun’s words. Moreover, they had also learned of the reason behind the Zaencrests’ disappearance.

“No, the Great God Rutherford was merely a member of the Zaencrest Clan who inherited his name.”

Zaencrest Harun shook his head slightly, “Nevertheless, the ancestor who inherited the name of the Great God Rutherford was close to reaching the Divine Realm.”

“!!!”

Everyone gasped upon hearing those words. If the inheritor of his name was already that powerful, then just how powerful was the actual Rutherford?

“Then where is the real Rutherford right now?””

Some curious individuals could not help but ask the question.

“The real Great God Rutherford?”

A trace of sadness flashed across Zaencrest Harun’s eyes.

“The real god of Rutherford has already fallen.”

“What? Even a god of his caliber has fallen?”

Everyone present found it hard to accept.

“How is this possible?”

Zaencrest Harun’s eyes suddenly lit up with great fury.

“The great god Rutherford used to be one of the most powerful beings during the Era of the Gods. Even Nabonel of the La Powo Palace, Russell of the Weizhou Bao Temple, and Adolf of the Oguapu Palace were no match for him.”

“Alas, our Great God Rutherford was ambushed by the other gods.”
