The Demon God — The Guardian of The Ruins
After a moment of silence, even Ling Yi could sense what Nangong Li was thinking.
However, just as the Nangong Li had thought, Ling Yi wouldn’t be willing to give away the Skills he mutated to people who were not close to him.
And he wouldn’t take the initiative to offer either.
Lin Xian noticed the young woman’s silence after her previous question. She was intelligent and had a lot of life experience. She quickly read everything in the room and could not help but cover her mouth and smile.
!!
She turned her head to look at Ling Yi and lifted the corners of her lips. Her tender red lips slowly opened, “Actually, I’m also very sad that Shurou can defeat you.”
“I’m an old player who’s been on God’s Path for 20 years. In the end, I’m not even as good as my niece. I’m clearly trying my best to improve my strength.”
“Sometimes, an excellent choice is worth more than years of hard work.”
Hearing this, Nangong Li nodded her head and agreed, “That’s right. Even a genius like me, who had received the full support from the Divine Union, would have been surpassed by a newcomer if I had not been careful.”
“Hehe… The gap will only get bigger in the future.” Lin Xian smiled at her.
Upon hearing that, Nangong Li could not hold it in anymore.
She knew that half of Lin Shurou’s role was in support.
When she thought about how the gap between them would only get bigger and bigger in the future, the urgency of becoming stronger and stronger in her heart almost solidified.
When she thought about how her clothes were not even enough to look at when she entered the Great Thousand God’s Path, which she knew she was very likely to fall behind, she no longer cared about her face. In the end, she gritted her teeth, “Uhm…”
She looked at Ling Yi, took a deep breath, and quickly said, “I also want to be trained by you.”
“Mm… I only—”
“I know!”
Thin-skinned Nangong Li didn’t dare to let Ling Yi continue. She only looked at him with a determined gaze.
Ling Yi nodded in understanding but still suggested, “You might be acting on impulse now. You should go back first and talk to your family. Come back when you’ve made a decision with a calm mind.”
“Alright,”
Nangong Li said and didn’t say much else. She then uses Ling Yi’s words to leave.
Otherwise, it would be even more awkward if she left any later.
Lin Xian sent her off. When she returned, she gave Ling Yi a strange smile.
“What’s wrong?” Ling Yi wondered.
“He he… Didn’t you say that she would be super strong if she were trained? You’re not looking forward to it?”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“I have a feeling that she will become the strongest sword in your hands.”
Ling Yi looked at the sunlight outside the window and said nothing.
…
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
While the birds in the yard were chirping happily, Ling Yi put down a cup of warm tea by the wooden table under the tree.
He decided to enter the ancient ruins again this weekend.
He had already obtained the three legendary ancient tablets inside, but there were still countless unknown mysterious ancient tablets out there. Although they were not as good as the former, it was better than nothing.
However, before entering, he had to activate the Premonition Prompt because the Demonic God inside had already broken free from the chains. Just to be safe.
After a short while, Ling Yi was back again.
Standing in the sand, Ling Yi didn’t summon the Ice Queen immediately. Instead, he looked left and right to observe his surroundings.
He feared that the Demonic God would suddenly appear from some corner and attack him.
[You’re very wary of the Demonic God, but you don’t know that it’s currently in] deep sleep.]
Ling Yi let out a sigh of relief when he saw the notification.
“Looks like I’ve chosen the right time.”
He turned around and headed towards the east. That was the place where he had discovered the Ancient Tablet Cemetery in the past. Not only was there no flying sand blocking his vision, but there were also a large number of ancient tablets buried there.
[You headed towards the Ancient Tablet Cemetery, but you did not know where the Demonic God was slumbering.]
“…. It doesn’t matter.”
He continued to move forward without slowing down.
Not long after, he finally passed through the sand region and arrived in the air above the Ancient Tablet Cemetery.
The scene below was the same as when he first saw it. A sea of sand covered the ancient monuments, some of which had already been broken into many pieces, while some were still intact, just a little old.
More than 1,000 meters away, he could see a huge mass of pitch-black elements standing between the sky and the earth.
It was connected to the yellow soil at the bottom and the blue sky at the top, like a pillar supporting the sky.
The surrounding light was extremely dim, revealing the obscure evil intent of the world.
Ling Yi looked up and down, but he didn’t see any obvious biological features. It was just like a mass of darkness.
‘Is that the Demonic God…? It’s a little bigger than I imagined.’
When he thought about how this guy had killed him many times in the notifications, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath and immediately activated his [Eye of Truth].
[Ancient Ruin Guardian (LV120)]
[Name: Demonic God]
[Rank: invincible]
...
[Attributes: strength 24,000, mana 24,000, agility 24,000, endurance 12,000, physique 18,000]
[Skill: Isolation of Two Worlds (10 stars)]
[Godly Right: Power of Protection (12 stars), Darkness Origin (12 stars)]
[Current status: 100% health]
“Sh*t–”
‘Level 120? Wasn’t the maximum level 100? What is ‘Godly Right’? 12-star?’
Looking at the panel, Ling Yi’s eyes widened, and he took a deep breath.
Compared to the unknown factors, the five-digit numbers on the interface looked the most normal.
He had already expected an attribute of over 10,000 points, so it was not surprising.
Ling Yi looked at it carefully for a while. After he became familiar with it, he felt that it wasn’t that big of a deal.
It was just a higher level, higher attributes, and an unknown Godly Right.
...
[You think that the Demonic God might be a real ‘God’, and you should be able to come into contact with it when you enter the Great Thousand God’s Path in the future. Therefore, you are not envious.]
[You think it’s better not to focus on it now. It’s better to find the Ancient Monument First.]
This time, the notification was similar to what Ling Yi had expected. He no longer paid attention to the Demonic God and turned to use the [Eye of Truth] to search for stone monuments.
After a short while, he found a good stele.
[Self-Healing Monument]: Place this monument in one place and increase the natural HP recovery speed of players in the country by 15%.
“Sure, anyone can use it.”
After accepting it, he was also teleported back to the main world.
The desert-like scorched earth once again fell into silence.
A few minutes later, the sound of something piercing through the air could be heard from the sand-filled area.
At the same time, two voices, one male and one female, were heard.
“After three months, we’re finally here again!
“It’s all because I was waiting for you guys to get the Ancient Lamp. Otherwise, I would have come in long ago.”
The next moment, two figures shot out of the yellow sand area, stirring up the nearby air.
The man on the left was tall and thin, with fair skin and a handsome face. His sea-blue hair seemed to have water flowing in it.
He was wearing a pair of golden staff-shaped earrings, and his royal blue eyes were like a pair of sapphires.
He stuck his right hand into his hair as if he wanted to wipe the sand off, but when he looked into the distance, he suddenly froze.
“Then…”
He opened his eyes wide in surprise. As his face turned slightly pale, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
On the right, a tall, curvaceous, and enchanting woman also looked at the Demonic God in the distance.
Her bright red lips opened slightly, and she was so scared that she did not dare to say a word.
A moment later.
When they discovered that the Demonic God seemed to be in a deep sleep, the two of them secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Their doubts immediately followed.
“Why is the guardian of the monument here?”
