Shaluoshi's actual age had long since surpassed a thousand years.
Yet he looked much like an ordinary brown-haired middle-aged man.
In his youth, he had once enjoyed a brilliant period, his extraordinary talent earning him renown throughout the region.
In just over four hundred years, he had risen from a Sandcaster specializing in mutated Earth Element magic.
He had spent only a little over two hundred years crossing the three ranks of low, mid, and high Legend.
Only after comprehending a branch of a certain Sand Rule did he finally become a demigod.
Yet for powerhouses of this rank, becoming a demigod only meant they had just begun.
After reaching this level, no matter how talented one was, without sufficiently deep foundations and accumulated insights, advancing further was simply impossible!
Thus, among demigod-level powerhouses, Shaluoshi was still fairly young, with much potential yet to erupt in the future.
He had accepted the offerings of Asra's ancestors and become the guardian of Dusk Sand Great City.
Over the past several centuries, Asra's family had provided him with vast quantities of resources.
His days were usually quite leisurely. Under normal circumstances, other guardian-level powerhouses would never rashly attack a great city.
Moreover, these martial cities within the Sarranid Sultanate were all tough bones to chew.
Shaluoshi and the other guardian-level powerhouse worshipped by Dusk Sand Great City had both spent several peaceful centuries here.
Therefore, when Asra personally approached Shaluoshi and requested that he lead the Punitive Expeditionary Force into battle, Shaluoshi considered it for a while before agreeing.
After all, Dusk Sand Great City had never treated him poorly. If this place suffered damage or disruption, it would inevitably delay his future cultivation.
It was only after considering this that he agreed to act personally.
