Chapter 1454: Chapter 1454
In fact, there wasn’t much to clean up here. Once the enemies had died, they turned into yellow sand and left nothing behind but divine essence, and this desert finally became a normal desert.
The previous battle ended swiftly, and everyone was very familiar with the Yellow Sand Giant. Hence throughout the process, although the Yellow Sand Giant inflicted a lot of injuries on its summoned beasts, none had perished.
"Let’s go, we’re heading back," Du You looked around and retracted his summoned beast as he spoke.
"Go back? Why go back? Aren’t we supposed to search for other Heavenly Disaster Giants?"
Du You rolled his eyes: "Of course, we’re going to look for other Heavenly Disaster Giants. Haven’t you heard that each Guardian Clan watches over a Heavenly Disaster Giant? Even if they don’t communicate with each other, they definitely know where the others are. It’s certainly possible to find them on our own, but how long would that take?"
Du You’s concept of time remained unchanged; whether it was carrying out a mission or doing anything else, he always couldn’t help but to speed things up, reluctant to waste even a moment.
Others might take years to finish a task, but Du You would be eager to complete it in just a few days.
Lin Yushi stuck out her tongue and smiled apologetically.
As Du You was killing the Yellow Sand Giant, the Yellow Sand Guardian Clan had finally gotten the news. A guard suddenly arrived to report, "It’s lit, it’s finally lit up." This guard was no commoner, but a member of the royal blood in their clan.
"It’s lit up? That’s excellent! After a hundred years of vigilance, I thought our ancestral land would fall from our family’s hands. Thankfully, it has finally succeeded in the end."
Many people burst into tears, immediately followed by cheers. The king personally made an appearance, announcing the news of the Yellow Sand Giant’s demise. The state’s ministers and nobility were thrilled, overwhelmed by the blessing after so long spent in destitution.
Subsequently, the joyful news began spreading to the vicinity. The people around the desert plunged into celebrations. Even if their lives didn’t change at all afterwards, they no longer had to live in constant fear.
When Du You and his companions returned, they saw a scene of celebration with lights festooned everywhere. "It seems they already know. The Guardian Clan really does have many methods to monitor the Yellow Sand Giant," Du You noted.
"Let’s not bother with that for now. Let’s first find what we need," Lin Yushi said, somewhat anxiously.
The three had just landed when excited people came to greet them: "Thank you, you are our hero, our feast is ready. Please follow me," said the king, coming forward in person.
Du You waved his hand: "Time is a bit tight. We want to know the locations of the other Heavenly Disaster Giants, as well as their Guardian Clans. We need to deal with all the Heavenly Disaster Giants as quickly as possible."
The eyes of King Has brightened – this was a good thing for the entire world. No one wanted to experience the Elemental God’s revival, transforming the whole world into an elemental realm, making it unlivable for normal beings.
This was something not known to the average citizen, but the Guardian Clan was well-informed.
"There’s no need to rush in such haste, heroes need time to rest too. We will contact the other Guardian Clans and inform them of your arrival. Please join the banquet first, we want to properly thank you."
An unknown elder stepped forward, and after some thought, Du You nodded in agreement. Communicating with other Guardian Clans indeed required some time. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
After the banquet, Du You obtained a map and set out for the next location at the first opportunity.
The Guardian Clan used special methods to communicate, which was much faster than conventional means.
"It turns out that the nearest place from here represents the flood disaster – the Water Giant. I really didn’t expect that," Du You remarked, corners of his mouth curling into a smile.
"Haven’t you noticed? This Elemental God truly is an Elemental God, even capable of becoming the deity of all mages in this world. Yet in this world, being a mage seems to be a taboo profession. If it weren’t for the Magic-class Professionals who entered later, this world might have been a complete blank in magic."
"And look, these seven Heavenly Disaster Giants, don’t they correspond exactly to the conventional five elements of earth, water, fire, wind, and lightning, with the remaining two being light and dark, thereby making the seven elements complete?"
Light and dark are regarded as elements in some worlds, while in others, they are not; this varies from world to world. An Elemental God in this world who can gather all seven elements to form its own Divine Rank is no simple character.
In another world, such a deity might even qualify as a tier-eight main god.
Du You began to wonder whether it was due to the jealousy of the Origin God towards the Elemental God that it sought to eliminate him, resulting in their epic battle. After all, considering the outcome, neither deity benefited in the end.
Even if the Origin God itself suffered severe injuries and chose self-sealing, of course, that was their own claim.
But regardless, the seal was likely real. If the Origin God was found by the tier-seven powerhouses from other worlds, it would truly be lamb to the slaughter. Shaking his head, Du You cast these thoughts from his mind.
Why bother with these concerns? Better to focus on one’s own affairs for now.
Two days later, the trio arrived at the next location. Originally unknown, it had now become a vast lake, or rather, it was more apt to describe it as an inland sea.
Tides had become the norm here, with tsunamis striking from time to time and the surrounding rivers frequently bursting with floods. Rumor had it that it rained heavily in this area, sometimes lasting for several days.
As a result, no one dared to live near any river. This absolutely humid environment was, in fact, more hazardous for humans than the desert.
Now the area was teeming with aquatic life, including special creatures, magical beasts, and wild beasts, all posing threats to the locals.
The living conditions here were even worse than in the desert. At least the desert had some areas suitable for cultivation, whereas here there was absolutely no place to grow crops. Most locals relied on fishing for survival.
Imagining how perilous it was to fish in the pouring rain was self-evident.
So when Zhu You arrived, the local Guardian Clan warmly welcomed him. There were no royal families here, no established countries. The Water Guardian Clan was one of the largest clans in the area.
They had hollowed out a mountain, where the members of the clan resided. The advantage of Stone Mountain was its ability to prevent water intrusion; no matter how heavy the rain was outside, it wouldn’t affect the clan’s habitat at all.
