Chapter 1451: Chapter 1451

"Please hold off on the fight, and let us discuss this matter in more detail inside,"

At this tense moment, a gentle voice came from within. The person approaching was tall and, despite looking quite lean, had very bright eyes and wore extremely fine clothes.

Given the look of the person, it seemed they held no ordinary status. The surrounding crowd, though reluctant, stepped back respectfully.

Du You patted Lin Yushi on the shoulder, and she withdrew her power suppression. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵

Seeing Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi, the newcomer’s eyes lit up, inwardly exclaiming at the beauty of the twin sisters. However, he did not linger on them, eventually focusing his attention on Du You. From the attitude and positions of the group, it was clear that Du You was the one in charge.

Du You nodded slightly: "I apologize for the intrusion, but there are some matters we must understand clearly."

Power breeds caprice; such matters usually required careful investigation to avoid offending the locals. But Du You, bolstered by his own strength, was not concerned about such issues. This was the confidence that came with power.

"Greetings, esteemed Saints, I am Has, the king of this nation. The Yellow Sand Giant in the desert is the demon in all our hearts, and no one wishes to speak of it, which is why they reacted so intensely,"

So it was the king. Du You could sense that his status was not simple. It was no small feat for a king to reach a five-tier level of power, albeit just barely — but it was still quite impressive.

In this world, the most formidable figures were those of the six-tier, also known as Saints. The aura that erupted from Lin Yushi had informed them that she was indeed of the six-tier; thus, the title was appropriate.

Professionals from Earth were not absent in this world. On the contrary, Professionals had already established their own territories here. This information was gathered from those Professionals.

Considering the special rules after advancing to the seven-tier, Du You had no intention of establishing a territory in this world.

Moreover, for a world that had just reached the seven-tier level, it would not be appealing to Du You once he made his own breakthrough.

After entering, Has asked cautiously, "Looking at you all, you wouldn’t happen to be the ones who fought the Yellow Sand Giant, would you?" It was a direct question, but Du You didn’t want to waste time.

Without hesitation, Du You nodded and replied, "Yes, it was us. Within three days, we shattered the Yellow Sand Giant several times, but it just wouldn’t die; it kept resurrecting. I want to know what’s going on and if there is any way to defeat it." After all, he wasn’t a native and didn’t understand many things.

Has pondered for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "Are you certain that you shattered the Yellow Sand Giant?"

Lin Yushi’s brow furrowed, but she remained silent. Just as Du You was about to speak, another voice came: "They speak the truth. The aura left in the desert is identical to the one they carry."

"Third Uncle, why have you come out?" Has quickly stood up, his expression reverent.

The newcomer was an elder leaning on a long cane, shaking and tottering as he walked.

Du You was puzzled, for the man was clearly a five-tier powerhouse, but his vital energy seemed utterly exhausted to the brink. It seemed as if he was near death, yet Du You could tell his age did not match his condition.

By the look of it, even fighting was out of the question; if he made a move, his death would be imminent.

The elder waved his hand: "Your Majesty, we don’t have much time left. As members of the Guardian Clan, I believe it’s time to go all in. Otherwise, who knows when the next opportunity will arise."

"Guardian Clan? You’re the protectors of this desert?" Du You asked curiously.

The elder slowly took a seat, while Has resolved to speak: "I’ll explain. This story dates back a hundred years. As is well known, a century ago the Origin God and the Elemental God came to blows over conflicting ideals. Their fight nearly shattered the world into pieces, resulting in a devastating aftermath."

"The Elemental God was slain by the Origin God on the spot, with the fragmented Divine Rank scattering across the lands. The seven largest fragments became what are now known as the Heavenly Disaster Giants, altering the landscapes of regions, continuously expanding their reach."

"It is said, once they grow to a certain extent, they will reassemble and resurrect the Elemental God."

Du You nodded; this information was in the records of this world, though not as detailed and mostly considered myth.

"The legend says that the Origin God who killed the Elemental God was sealed away, but that’s not actually the case. The heavily injured Origin God, needing to heal, sealed himself away."

"However, before self-sealing, the Origin God left behind a means to counter the resurrection of the Elemental God. The seven heroes who fought alongside against the minions of the Elemental God were bestowed with the duty to guard the world on behalf of the Guardian Family, that being one of the Seven Guardian Families. Mortals cannot kill a Divine Spirit, and the same goes for Divine Creatures even after a god’s fall."

"Killing such Divine Creatures requires the use of the God Destroying Rune our Guardian Family has preserved. Unfortunately, each use of a God Destroying Rune requires ten years to recover. We have sought out several Brave Warriors, but none were successful."

Du You’s eyes shone brightly; this could finally explain it. The six-tier and the seven-tier were entirely different realms, only with Divinity could one harm a god, regardless of whether one’s strength surpassed that of a god or not; harming them directly would otherwise be difficult.

This was why Du You was able to slay powerful Divine Creatures, but could hardly harm even a weaker Divine Spirit.

"Could we make use of that God Destroying Rune once, to help kill the Yellow Sand Giant for you?"

"Actually, even if you hadn’t offered, I intended to suggest it myself, as we are running out of time," the elder spoke.

"A hundred years ago, our land was the world’s largest granary. Ever since the formation of the Yellow Sand Giant, our situation has worsened day by day, turning into a desert before our eyes. If this continues, even we will have to relocate."

With a heavy sigh, who could bear to leave the land they’ve always guarded? Yet with the Yellow Sand Giant persisting, it became impossible not to leave. Here, no matter how you manage the environment, it will still become a desert.

The Yellow Sand Guardian Clan is now in its most perilous state; even without the appearance of Du You, they would have made a final stand. Due to the Yellow Sand Giant, the costs paid by their people are immeasurable, and to call it a curse looming over their heads would not be an overstatement.
