CHAPTER 439: CHAPTER 428: TITAN DIVINE RACE

"Gambling again?"

In the City Lord’s Mansion of Cyan Dragon City, Lin Yi stared in disbelief at Babylon before bursting into laughter:

"So, may I ask, City Lord, what are you betting on this time?"

Dressed in luxurious clothes, Babylon had an expression that suggested he expected this reaction from Lin Yi. He chuckled and said:

"Do you know the Titan Gods?"

Titan Gods?

Lin Yi suddenly looked at Babylon. Was this guy suddenly looking for him to gamble because of this Titan Gods thing?

As for the so-called Titan Gods, Lin Yi certainly knew a bit.

Because in a previous life, the Titan Gods were already one of the open races.

And everyone actually knew that the Titan Gods were recognized by the Hundred Races as the race with the strongest defense capability among their peers, a fact even the proud Dragon Race had to admire.

Precisely because of this, they were humorously referred to as the Titan Gods, for the Titan Race was one of the few among the Hundred Races able to possess the formidable strength to contend with divine-level powerhouses even without becoming gods.

Before Lin Yi’s rebirth, the opening of the Titan Gods was still two years away.

It was also because the Titan Race leaned towards shield warrior professions, making them one of the most beloved races for players of such roles.

However, for Lin Yi, a mage, it didn’t have much impact, so Lin Yi never deliberately sought to understand this race’s historical background.

Given this, Lin Yi could only tell Babylon:

"I know some, but not very clear."

Lin Yi might have guessed some of Babylon’s reasons for seeking him this time, but he still needed to ask:

"What’s going on?"

Additionally:

Lin Yi was also unsure if his knowledge of the Titan Gods would have any relevance to what Babylon was about to say, so he wanted to hear Babylon’s thoughts.

Babylon, upon hearing this, nodded and said:

"Since that’s the case, let me tell you about this race."

Lin Yi:

"Alright."

At this point, Babylon began his explanation:

"The Titan Gods, like the Dragon Race, are one of the higher races that have existed since ancient times."

"This Titan Tribe has a unique feature unlike other races: its members are born with divine power, and their physical defense is astonishing, being the warriors with the strongest defense among the Hundred Races, surpassing even the Dragon Race."

"However, the Titan Tribe’s minds are relatively simple, which led, in the past, to a long period during which some ill-intentioned people would exploit this to deceive them into committing heinous acts."

Saying this, Babylon couldn’t help but sigh:

"Perhaps it was the seeds sown during that time that led to the later consequences."

At this point, some might wonder, wasn’t there the so-called Hundred Races Alliance?

And when the Titan Tribe experienced injustice, why didn’t the so-called Hundred Races Alliance stand up for justice?

Actually, Lin Yi understood a bit:

The so-called Hundred Races Alliance was actually formed during the Demon Race Invasion of the continent when each race found themselves incapable of resisting on their own, leading to the forced establishment of an alliance to repel the Demon Race.

It was from that time onward, even after the Demon Race was resealed, that the Hundred Races Alliance continued to this day without disbanding.

As for who the current Alliance Leader of the Hundred Races Alliance is, Lin Yi had no idea.

And the period Babylon was talking about, regarding the Titan Tribe’s experiences, must have been long before the Demon Race Invasion, so the Hundred Races Alliance wasn’t even relevant.

At that time, the Hundred Races mostly acted independently, seeming harmonious on the surface but with submerged turbulence underneath.

As Babylon continued, Lin Yi knew a bit of what followed.

About a few years before the Titan Gods vanished, their current Clan Leader passed away, succeeded by his son, Emilio Remon, as the new Clan Leader of the Titan Tribe.

This new Clan Leader, Raymond, was different from the previous leader’s consistently ’mild’ policies and began a series of bold actions upon taking office.

Firstly, with the full force of the tribe, even at the cost of antagonizing the Hundred Races, he summoned all the Titans scattered outside back to the tribe.

Among them, the Corpse Demon Race expressed fierce opposition to this approach and through special means coerced two Titan tribespeople to claim ’unwillingness to return,’ which enraged Raymond, eventually leading him to surround the Corpse Demon Race territory with all Titan warriors.

Although the Titan Tribe was not adept at fighting, their terrifying defensive ability drove the Corpse Demon Race to despair.

Under pressure, the Corpse Demon Race had no choice but to allow Raymond to bring those two controlled tribespeople back to the tribe.

Similar events continued unfolding across the continent during those years.

And the name of Titan Raymond also resonated throughout every corner of the continent during those years.

The most astonishing and intriguing part was that the Titan Tribe, known for their simple and honest nature, showed no trace of simplicity on Raymond.

Instead, the Titan Raymond vividly demonstrated swift decisiveness and decisive action.

If his appearance hadn’t been unmistakable, people would’ve likely doubted whether Raymond was truly from the Titan Tribe.

What made people even more suspicious and puzzled was that before assuming the role of Clan Leader, Raymond behaved much like an ordinary Titan.

However, upon assuming the Clan Leader’s position, he dramatically changed overnight into what later became known among the Hundred Races as the Titan God Raymond.

Returning to the main subject,

in the second year after Raymond summoned all Titans back to the mainland, this one and only race renowned with the title ’God,’ suddenly vanished from everyone’s sight without leaving any trace.

Even those who were guests in the Titan Tribe recalled in their memories that everything appeared perfectly normal the day before their disappearance, with no unusual movements within the entire Titan Tribe.

Merely after a single night passed, when the sun rose as usual the next day, the entire Titan Tribe abruptly appeared lifeless, devoid of any trace of life.

Later investigations revealed that many households still had unfinished meals or tasks only halfway done.

These people seemed to have been suddenly taken away by some force during their meal or task, creating an eerie scene.

Afterward, various races investigated the Titan Tribe, yet even after hundreds of years passed, the disappearance of the Titan Gods remained an unsolvable mystery.

In Babylon’s subsequent explanation, the content was practically consistent with what Lin Yi knew.

Lin Yi suddenly became very curious, as in the previous life, there hadn’t seemed to be any discussions about the reason for the Titan Tribe’s disappearance!

Moreover, at that time, the Titan Tribe also seemed to suddenly open up overnight, without any forewarning.

After playing the game for three years, Lin Yi’s impression of the Titan Tribe remained as one sentence humorously used by players: "Once you enter the sea of Titan flesh, output becomes a passing stranger."

After hearing Babylon’s words, Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask:

"Does this have anything to do with the bet you want to make with me?"

Babylon gave a slight smile:

"The bet I want to make with you is to find the Titan Tribe’s Clan Leader Raymond in the Titan Secret Realm, even if it’s just a corpse."
