Heavenly Desolation Earth God

The voice immediately drew Xiao Yun and the others' attention. At a glance, they spotted the little old man, and the same thought instantly appeared in their minds: he was the Earth God of the Heavenly Desolation Plateau.

After the Earth God saw Xiao Yun's group and looked at his own bedraggled appearance, he immediately felt somewhat ashamed. With a wave of his hand, his tattered official robe instantly became as good as new. Then, taking small steps, he arrived before Xiao Yun.

Once he had steadied himself, he introduced himself. "This old man is the local Earth God. I thank you all for saving this old man from the sea of suffering."

As the Lord and leader of the party, Xiao Yun naturally stepped forward to receive the Earth God of the Heavenly Desolation Plateau.

With the experience of the previous two regions, he was not particularly surprised that a local deity had appeared here. Smiling, he went forward and said, "Hello, Earth God. I am Xiao Yun, a newly appointed Lord and the leader of this party."

The Earth God immediately grasped Xiao Yun's hands and thanked him profusely. "Thank you, Lord Xiao, for coming to my rescue. Otherwise, before long, the Heavenly Desolation Plateau would have been completely corrupted and fallen by the Abyssal Aura. At that point, this Earth God would naturally have vanished into nothingness as well."

Xiao Yun smiled. "Earth God, don't worry. As long as I am here, I will definitely protect the Heavenly Desolation Plateau from being eroded by the Abyss again."

"That is good, that is good." The Earth God looked as though tears were streaming down his aged face. Then, quite consciously, he said, "To support the Lord's cause, the Heavenly Desolation Plateau under my jurisdiction can provide the following each day: experience, Spiritual Power, Gold Coins, 300 Breakthrough Stones, 3,000 Bounty Points, and fifteen sets of Qiyun Equipment."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yun received a notification from Youyou:

[You have reclaimed the Heavenly Desolation Plateau. You can obtain experience, Spiritual Power, Gold Coins, 300 Breakthrough Stones, 3,000 Bounty Points, and fifteen sets of Bright Moon Equipment every day.]

Xiao Yun was quite satisfied with this. Without doing anything each day, he would have enough experience to raise both his Lord level and the levels and equipment of his Subordinate War Spirits.

Seeing Xiao Yun's smile, the Earth God naturally understood that he was satisfied with the offer, which relieved him considerably. However, upon recalling something, his expression turned serious as he said to Xiao Yun, "My Lord, this old man has something to say, though I do not know whether I should say it."

Xiao Yun was also curious about what the Earth God might ask of him, so he readily agreed with a smile. "Earth God, please speak freely."

The Earth God immediately said, "It is not actually this old man's own matter, but an issue concerning the Kunlun Mountain God next door. The last time I spoke with him, he told me that he could not hold on much longer and would soon be completely eroded by the Abyss. Therefore, I hope you can go to Kunlun Mountain as soon as possible and rescue him."

Xiao Yun had originally been debating whether to return to the White Jade Capital first and continue fighting, but once the Earth God made this request, he naturally wished to head to the Kunlun Divine Palace as soon as possible. He turned his gaze toward Chu Yinge, Xuan Huaying, Wangliang, and Xi Zhaoyue.

Chu Yinge's cool voice rang out. "You can decide this yourself, Lord."

Chu Yinge was quite proactive. She drew her longsword from its scabbard and spoke as if making an oath. "As long as the Lord needs me, my sword can carve out a path for you at any time."

Wangliang clearly had a warrior's temperament. As long as there was a battle, he became exceedingly excited. He laughed loudly. "Lord, let us continue fighting. The hot blood in my veins has not even begun to boil yet."

Xi Zhaoyue was only level thirty now, far behind the others in level. Naturally, she hoped to catch up quickly and also agreed. "I have only just joined the party, and I also hope to improve my strength as soon as possible."

She Liu, who usually enjoyed teasing Xiao Yu, did not dare act too recklessly under the pressure of several Mythic War Spirits. She could only look eagerly at Xiao Yun and say, "Wherever the Lord goes, I will follow. Just do not leave me behind."

Only Hua Wushuang spoke somewhat timidly. "Lord, may I return and rest for a while?"

Xiao Yun naturally had no objections. With the previous Mythic War Spirits present, the party already had enough members. Moreover, now that they had the Rain Master Divine Monarch, there was no real pressure when it came to healing. Naturally, Hua Wushuang could return, since she was not a War Spirit who particularly enjoyed battle.

Thus, he said, "All right. In that case, Fairy Hua, return to the White Jade Capital first. Tell Tu Yaoyao in the White Jade Capital that we have reclaimed the Heavenly Desolation Plateau and will soon continue our campaign. Have her arrange for people to coordinate with this Earth God."

Hua Wushuang immediately bowed to accept the order. "As you command."

Then Xiao Yun brought the other five party members before the Earth God and asked, "Kunlun Mountain is so vast. How can we find the Kunlun Mountain God as quickly as possible?"

The Earth God had clearly prepared for this long ago. Smiling, he said, "There is no need to worry about that. He and I have always been on good terms. He once gave me a Transfer Talisman that can directly transfer people to the entrance of the Kunlun Divine Palace at the summit of Kunlun Mountain."

"Then we will have to trouble you, Earth God." Xiao Yun bowed in thanks.

The Earth God did not dare accept Xiao Yun's salute at all and immediately dodged aside. "My Lord, please do not bow to this minor deity. This minor deity truly cannot bear it."

After saying that, he produced a yellowed talisman paper from who knew where. It looked rather unreliable, making Xiao Yun feel somewhat uneasy.

However, remembering that they could return to the White Jade Capital at any time if anything happened, he finally put his mind at ease.

The Earth God looked at the positions of the group, and a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

Xiao Yun noticed it and immediately asked, "Earth God, why have you not begun? Do we still need to prepare something?"

The Earth God looked over their positions before explaining, "This talisman can only transfer people within a certain range. You are standing too far apart."

Upon hearing this, there was no need for Xiao Yun to give orders. Everyone gathered around him and turned their gazes toward the Earth God.

The Earth God sensed their current positions and nodded slightly. Then a surge of Earth Vein Divine Power emerged from within him and flowed into the talisman in his hand.

The talisman paper then emitted a burst of intense White Light, so dazzling that Xiao Yun involuntarily shut his eyes. He could not help cursing inwardly, Damn Earth God, he did not even warn us that the talisman would release such an intense White Light when activated. I will definitely teach him a lesson next time.

Although the talisman was somewhat frightening, its function was not lacking in the slightest. When Xiao Yun and the others opened their eyes again, they had already arrived on a platform halfway up a vast snowy mountain.
