435: Chapter 435 Holy Realm Chapter 1

In the 3380th year of the Sacred Realm, the Era of the Gods ended. Within the millennium that followed, no beings on the continent ascended to godhood, and gods became nothing more than legends.

Some said the gods resided above the nine heavens, while others claimed they had left the world and traveled to the starry sky.

But most people scoffed at the gods, for they simply did not believe in their existence.

Without the gods, the Radiant Continent seemed to return to peace. Occasionally, there were wars between a few kingdoms, but in the context of the entire Radiant Continent, these were insignificant trifles.

The Magic Academy, which had existed throughout the Lost Era, also gradually lost its original influence during the Era of the Gods. Its very existence was a legacy, and having now fulfilled its duty, it slowly faded from the continent.

Yet, this Magic Academy remained a mysterious place that many mages yearned for.

It was rumored that in the distant Era of the Gods, at least ten gods had emerged from here.

A thousand years of time had washed away too many legends, and at this moment, in a small kingdom on the northern edge of the Radiant Continent, a child named Guyuan was born.

And it was precisely this ordinary child who would later unify the entire Radiant Continent for three thousand years.

4390th year of the Sacred Realm. Guyuan was ten years old.

At this time, he was still frequently skipping school and was considered a bad kid among the neighbors, destined to never amount to anything.

"Guyuan, what are we doing today? Stealing corn or stealing peanuts!"

Thinking of delicious roasted corn, Xia'er, whose face was smudged with black and white dirt, licked his lips.

"How about stealing peanuts? I want to eat roasted peanuts." The chubby Mas swallowed his saliva.

"Have some ambition! You only know how to steal peanuts and corn! Today, as the fifth anniversary of the founding of our Saint Thief Trio, we are going to do something big!" Guyuan's eyes darted around shiftily.

"Something big!" Mas's eyes were filled with excitement. "What big thing? What kind of big thing!"

Xia'er was also excited. "Great, are we finally going to steal something else! Stealing Granny Ya's persimmons, or the village chief's apples!"

Guyuan licked his lips. "Look at how spineless you both are, only daring to steal these worthless things. My target today is...!"

"What is it?"

"Yeah, yeah, hurry up and tell us!"

"Chickens!" Guyuan stood up, craning his neck. "Today, we are going to steal the village chief's chickens!"

Xia'er and Mas, who were squatting below, were wide-eyed with shock! Immediately followed by excitement!

"Stealing chickens!"

"Yes, we are going to steal chickens!"

"Exactly, the Saint Thief Trio shouldn't just be stealing worthless melons, fruits, and vegetables! We are going to steal chickens!"

"Steal chickens this time, and next time we can steal ducks!"

"And then steal dogs!"

"Boss Guyuan, when do we start!"

"Stealing chickens isn't like stealing corn or peanuts. We need a plan." A thoughtful look appeared in Guyuan's eyes.

Fatty Mas's eyes widened, filled with confusion. "A plan? What kind of plan? Do we need a plan to steal things? Isn't it better to just do it when the village chief isn't home?"

Xia'er knocked the fatty on the head. "Dummy, of course there's a plan. When stealing corn or peanuts, we just dive into the fields and no one sees us. But stealing chickens means entering the village, so of course we need a meticulous plan! Otherwise, what if we get caught!"

Mas nodded in realization and then asked, "Then do you have a plan?"

Xia'er stiffened his neck. "Of course I have a plan!"

Even Guyuan was curious now. Could it be that Xia'er had suddenly become bright?

"What plan?" Guyuan and Mas asked.

"My plan is to ask the boss!" Xia'er replied matter-of-factly.

Guyuan's face darkened. As expected, he shouldn't have held any expectations. "Alright, then, from now on, you will listen to my instructions."
