Chapter 344 Become That Gentle Breeze

fact, Clive had been observing various Espers before the Apocalypse. Eventually, he set his sights on the young Esper, David, seeing hope for humanity within him.

In this world, the three races of gods, humans, and beasts were in a delicate balance. As the only Spirit Emperor, Clive hoped for the three races to coexist peacefully. However, the beast race's uprising led to the Apocalypse. Divine Clan's Spirit Emperor, who had become Clive, descended during this crisis to suppress it and also sought his successor. After losing faith in every Esper due to their greed, selfishness, and excessive bloodlust, he realized that David was the one who could carry the torch.

When David entered his Abyssal Graveyard, Clive knew that David was ready to take over. That's why he occasionally appeared by David's side to help him with various challenges. 𝚋𝚎𝚍n𝚘v𝚎𝚕.𝚗𝚎𝚝

However, David was still puzzled by Clive's words. He remembered Clive's fear when facing Edmund and his ultimate sacrifice. How could such a person be part of the Divine Clan? Weren't Divine Clan members supposed to be extremely powerful?

Clive sensed David's thoughts and chuckled, saying, "If I didn't act a little, how could I test you properly? I must admit, my acting skills are quite good."

David was still uncertain. He asked, "But you are a Divine Clan member. Why would you want to help humanity and bring peace? Divine Clan and humans are two separate races. Shouldn't Divine Clan members prioritize their own kind?"

Clive's expression turned serious as he responded, "Which Divine Clan member wasn't once a human? Although I am part of the Divine Clan, I am first and foremost a human. If I were to forget my roots after becoming a Spirit Emperor, then I wouldn't deserve to be a god. Humanity has suffered so much in this world, and I can't bear to see it continue."

David suddenly felt a deep sense of admiration. He hadn't expected that Clive, now a deity, would still care so much for humanity. Most people, when granted ultimate power, would become arrogant and disregard humanity or even turn against them. David finally understood why Clive had returned from the dead and why he had seen those illusions.

With this newfound understanding, David felt a profound sense of purpose. He then asked Clive the final question that had been bothering him: "What is the blood moon that entered my body? I've always been curious about this strange phenomenon. Initially, I thought it was something the Divine Clan used to create illusions within me. But with your appearance and words, it seems my previous assumptions were incorrect. I even have a feeling that this blood moon is closely related to you."

Upon hearing David's question, Clive glanced at his chest and replied, "That blood moon is the accumulation of all my celestial qi over the past century. According to the timeline, it has already taken root and sprouted within you. In other words, you have now replaced me as the world's one and only true god."

So David quickly tried to sense the changes in his body. Indeed, there was now a supreme power coursing through him, a power unlike any of his abilities, seemingly emanating from high above the ninth heaven, especially vigorous and immense. Clearly, it was the power of a god.

And David could also clearly feel his own rank, breaking through from a Dark God to a Spirit Lord in a single breath. However, because he had not completely digested the blood moon yet, his aura had not been exposed.

"Why did you do this? Without these immortals' aura, how will you survive?" David looked at Clive and asked in a deep voice. He didn't know why Clive had done this, but he knew that if a true god lost their immortals' aura, their life would come to an end. He couldn't understand Clive's actions.

But Clive, after hearing his words, only smiled faintly and showed an expression of acceptance. Clive spoke calmly, saying, "I am old, and the world belongs to you young people now. From now on, I will become a part of the vast qi in the world, free and content."

When Clive said these words, there was no trace of sadness on his face; he appeared carefree and natural. But what he really wanted to say was that David was destined to be a god in this world, and all he had to do was give up his position.

Clive willingly did all this because he knew that this young man before him was worth it. Only he could bring peace to the human race and maintain the balance among the three races. In other words, it was Clive's mission. At this moment, Clive looked up at the sky, as if waiting for something, and the rising sun hung in the sky.

"My time is running out. I hope you can bear this responsibility. I believe in you." Suddenly, Clive reached out and patted David's shoulder, then he walked towards Emlyn. "Emlyn, stick with David, he's your benefactor. If you miss me, come find me on the mountain, but make sure to bring strong liquor!If you try to trick me with that lousy liquor again, be prepared for me to come out and give you a beating,"

Emlyn also understood what Clive was going to do next. A clear tear streaked down his cheek, and he nodded heavily.

"Alright, my time has come."

At this moment, the sun in the sky reached its zenith. The scorching sunlight bathed them, but it didn't feel hot; it brought a sense of tranquility.

"I will always be watching over you. The human race is worth it with you! I'm off to become that gentle breeze now! Hahaha!" Clive burst into laughter. Then, his body slowly began to blur. In no time at all, he disappeared from where he stood. A gentle breeze passed through the people, paused for a moment, and then flew off into the distance.
