2 The Light of Doom, Saint Ens!

The sky outside the window had turned bright and James stopped waiting.

Looking at the dilapidated house, he could not help but recall the lively scene from a few days ago.

All kinds of strange things had been sent over.

All kinds of organs, rotten tissue, incantation books, and evil items, as well as the troublesome head that was laughing hysterically just now, had been sent over.

It was still manageable at first, but now there were more and more of them. He could only destroy them before he risked being discovered.

The sack was mostly filled with bloody tissue and broken limbs. He did not pack the incantation books and the other items in the sack.

After all, these things might be useful in the future.

Although they were cult items, they were easy to collect and store as they were small. As long as these items were not discovered, who would know about them?

As for that strange head, James didn't put it in the sack either. This was because the sack was full and could not fit the head.

He simply kicked the head under the bed and no longer cared about it.

After tying the sack securely with a rope, James carried the heavy sack and pushed open the door.

He walked out of the house and looked around furtively. After confirming that no one was around, he carefully dragged the sack up the mountain.

The environment in the slums was extremely harsh.

The potholed roads were covered with sewage. Broken shacks and houses were densely packed together and crowded the sides of the street, filling the air with an unpleasant and pungent smell.

Pedestrians in tattered clothes could be seen everywhere on the muddy roads. There were also children as thin as monkeys and occasionally a few drunkards.

In a corner of the street, some people who had been exiled from other places were leaning against the wall. No one knew whether they were already dead.

The atmosphere in the slums was very depressing and dreary.

The sky was covered in a leaden haze that extended all the way into the distant horizon. As a result, the entire world was extremely gloomy, as if it was about to die.

It had only been a month since James had transmigrated here.

However, he knew quite a bit about this continent.

This continent was known as the Castro Continent, which was originally an extremely prosperous continent.

This place was beautiful and peaceful. It was the home that everyone loved.

On this vast land, there were mountain ranges, lakes, forests, sand dunes, and glaciers. All sorts of terrains formed this prosperous and complex space.

Countless intelligent races lived in those different regions. At the same time, many different cultural civilizations were born as well.

Magic, battle energy, and machines all emerged one after another.

Meanwhile, various races had also formed an incomparably prosperous civilization.

Furthermore, there were also many gods on this continent who listened to the wishes and beliefs of the living beings and protected them.

James had read about these past events in books from the library. This was an extremely typical fantasy world.

It was a prosperous continent with gods, magic, and many races.

Then, an unknown existence appeared and completely destroyed everything.

They did not belong to this world.

They originated from the Land of Darkness and absorbed the madness and chaos of all living beings. They were completely different from the gods of this orderly world.

The Evil God had descended…

Their arrival was a devastating disaster for the entire continent.

James wasn't exactly sure what had happened during the battle with the Evil God, also known as "the first meltdown".

He only knew that the entire world was reduced to ruins after that disaster.

All the gods in the heavens had fallen, and the magic power of the continent had completely vanished. Meanwhile, the intelligent beings on the continent had descended into madness.

Under the corrosion of the Evil God's power, all the civilizations in the continent were completely destroyed. The continent was then turned into a wasteland filled with madness and chaos.

Only a few creatures did not go crazy. They survived and eventually established a final gathering place in a remote corner of the continent.

This was the place where James now lived—the Light of Doom, Saint Ens.

This was a country built by the survivors. It was an oppressive and impoverished land of chaos.

This place was extremely chaotic, but it was also the only civilized country left on this continent.

As for the land outside of Saint Ens, it was said that all of it had been corroded by the power of the Evil God. There were no civilizations in those places, only mad and fallen living beings that ran rampant in the lands, including foreign creatures that were the creations of the Evil God.

Of course, these living beings also included those cultists who worshiped the Evil God. They yearned for evil powers and conducted forbidden rituals all day long. They were a bunch of lunatics.

After emptying the pile of sticky and disgusting offerings in the sack on the ground, James found a slightly cleaner place to sit and rest.

After walking for a few kilometers in the desolate forest, James finally found a rather suitable place.

Saint Laurent was located along the northeastern border of the "Light of Doom" Saint Ens. The north region of the continent was filled with boundless wilderness and forests.

In this place where almost no one would come, there was basically no need to worry about being seen.

James took out the metal ball he always carried with him and started digging a hole.

Perhaps it was because it had just rained, but the soil in the forest was very damp. Thus, it was not difficult to dig the ground.

However, since there were many filthy offerings in the sack, James would have to dig a very deep hole to fit them all.

After digging the hole, he looked for some dry branches, leaves, and other combustible items and combined them with the offerings before throwing a torch into the fire pit.
