Chapter 1452: Chapter 1452

After a long sigh, the elder finally got up, and King Has hurried forward to support him. At this moment, Has didn’t resemble a king at all but seemed rather like an ordinary junior.

"Follow me, I’ll take you to get the Runes, hoping this will be the last time."

Following the elder, they walked for over thirty minutes before finally arriving behind the Imperial Palace. Entering through an inconspicuous little room, the elder opened a secret passage that led directly to a large underground palace.

At the front of this palace, there was a statue of a god with an indistinct face, unidentifiable.

Du You internally commented on how these people always liked to place Shrines underground, always digging huge caverns below. But Du You didn’t say anything; how they built their Shrines was their own business.

In the hands of that statue floated a special Rune. It looked very complex, and even scrutinizing it closely, it was hard to see how the patterns were formed. Moreover, once Du You looked away, he found he couldn’t remember what the Rune looked like at all.

The elder bowed respectfully to the statue and then said, "This is the statue left by the great Origin God, and that’s the God Destroying Rune, specifically targeted against the divine incarnations of the Elemental God. It can only be used once every ten years, and you’ll know how to use it once you get it. Come, stand here."

Pointing to a spot in the middle of the open ground, Du You perceived no danger and gently patted the two sisters to calm them before stepping forward.

The elder was uttering words in a language Du You didn’t understand, a language that, to his surprise, the panel’s translation feature couldn’t decipher. It was either not a language at all or a Divine Spirit language imbued with special power. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥

Only special power-containing languages weren’t translated by the panel. Now, having acquired quite a bit of knowledge, Du You was no longer as ignorant as before and knew many things that should be understood.

At that moment, the elder pointed at Du You, and the yellow Rune in the hands of the statue suddenly flew up, slowly drifting towards Du You. Though it moved slowly, Du You felt he couldn’t avoid it at all. If he didn’t feel safe, he might have used Instantaneous Movement to get away right now.

Against the power of the seventh tier, one cannot be too careful.

The Rune landed on Du You’s arm, the light faded, and it looked as if it were drawn on. At that moment, Du You understood how the Rune was meant to be used.

"Take a few days to rest before going, and remember, the Rune only lasts for ten minutes. If you can’t shatter the core of the Yellow Sand Giant within ten minutes, it will be useless."

"So where is the core of the Yellow Sand Giant?" Lin Yucha asked.

The elder shook his head: "I don’t know, you will only know after using the God Destroying Rune. Normally, the core is dispersed throughout its body, which is why it can’t be killed. You’ll understand when you use it."

Lin Yucha wanted to say something else, but Du You held her back: "Let’s go and rest first. We don’t need a few days. We will recover by tomorrow." Their Magic Power had hardly been spent; it was only their own energy that was drained. A good night’s sleep would bring a swift recovery. With strong Spiritual Power, the recovery speed would be fast.

Du You left with the two sisters, and now, Has finally had the chance to speak.

"Third Uncle, why choose them? They are clearly not from our world, and how can your body be..." Has seemed aware of some conditions of his Third Uncle, thus very concerned.

The elder waved his hand: "No matter who it is, we must stop the Elemental God’s ambition to transform this world. Otherwise, none of us flesh-and-blood beings will survive."

"We, the Guardian Clan, have always had special methods to observe that part of the desert. They were right earlier; they do have the strength to kill the Yellow Sand Giant. I used the Forecast ability once before and saw hope in them. This is our last chance. As for my body, it will slowly recover as long as I don’t predict anymore."

The elder had the power of prophecy of their Guardian Clan, but each prophecy would consume his own power and even his life expectancy. Otherwise, with his talents, he could have reached the sixth tier and become a Saint long ago.

He had given too much for the family, for the country, and for all the people in this region.

On the other hand, Du You explained to the two sisters, "This Rune is indeed targeted at the Elemental God, and although I don’t know how much of what they said is true or false, it’s certain that they hold a grudge against the Yellow Sand Giant."

"So the Rune is really useful? There are no side effects?"

"Generally, there shouldn’t be any, or else the Attribute panel would definitely inform me immediately. There’s no such prompt from the panel now."

Du You did not readily trust the natives of this world, but he trusted the will of Earth even more.

If there were issues, the panel couldn’t possibly stay silent. Earth’s tier was quite high; even if it were the tricks of the sixth or even seventh and eighth tiers, Du You believed they couldn’t deceive the will of Earth.

"I always feel like they’re hiding something, and they should know we’re from Earth by now."

The territories of this world were vast and unhidden, and as a result, many of the upper-class here knew of them. Many also collaborated with the Earth’s territories, sharing knowledge and resources.

"Why bother with all that? When we have killed the Yellow Sand Giant, we’ll leave. There are six more Giants waiting for us. If we don’t defeat all of them, our trip will have been in vain. Besides, without this thing, we wouldn’t be able to kill the Yellow Sand Giant anyway."

Hearing Lin Yushi’s words, Du You laughed, "Yu Shi is right to the point. Why bother with all that? Let’s just get this matter settled first. Accomplish the mission, then go on to learn the Laws. Once we reach the seventh tier ourselves, no trick will work against us. Besides, we’d be separated by worlds; what could this world’s seventh tier possibly do to us?"

The three of them stopped discussing these matters, found their own rooms, set up security measures, and then began to rest.

Three days of tense fighting had drained them. To prepare for the upcoming battle, they needed a good rest.

Time flew by, and a day passed in a blink. Early the next morning, Du You and the two sisters bid farewell to Has and then set off.
