Amidst the vast wilderness, desolate beasts were roaring. Today, their reactions were exceptionally strange, appearing very irritable as they left their dwellings, scurrying everywhere, attacking each other.
On a dense and towering mountain peak, a fine dust of sand spread along the roots of the trees on the mountainside, climbing all the way to the summit, and then gradually coalescing into two people.
It was a man and a woman, both wearing the outfits of explorers, their clothes marked with streaks of blood, so places torn. The man’s left thigh bone was broken, still connected by skin, flipping outward at a bizarre vertical angle.
But the sand covered his foot, slowly maneuvering the broken foot back to its proper position, restoring normalcy.
He was evidently different from those parasitic Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, which could only maintain the appearance of humans until their last breath, but he could heal his injuries.
The man moved his neck and stretched his arms, seemingly adjusting to this body, then glanced down at the naplate on his chest, and smiled: "Xu Chiyuan, I like this na."
Every explorer’s clothing bears a naplate, so if one loses their life in the Great Desolate Realm, at least their na can confirm who they are.
He then looked up at the naplate in front of the woman and said: "Your na is... let see, Hu Jiudie? Why not just call you Butterfly?"
"Is that my decision to make?"
The woman nad Hu Jiudie replied coldly.
Her figure was agile, she should have been a quick combat-type explorer when she was alive, only now her head was sowhat askew, as if the cervical spine of her neck had been broken.
"I still prefer the na Butterfly, butterflies are interesting creatures." Xu Chiyuan said in self-satisfaction.
Then, they both looked into the distance.
From here, they could clearly see the grand and imposing wall shining with a bronzed glow, majestic, guarded by various powerful forces, imbuing a sense of unyielding hardness. The wall extended for untold miles, disappearing into the vast expanse of the earth.
"So this is the Jiuzhou continent where the Human Race resides?" Xu Chiyuan marveled.
"I didn’t expect them to migrate such a long way from the Edge Corner Airspace just to survive. The Great Desolate Realm is so vast that honestly, without Yi Ming’s guidance, it might have taken us ten years to get here."
Hu Jiudie twisted her neck, a "crack" sound as she reconnected her broken neck.
"Even with guidance, it took so long; it’s so remote in the Great Desolate Realm that it took a whole year even at the speed of the Heavenly Connection level," Xu Chiyuan said.
Hu Jiudie chuckled softly, saying: "It doesn’t matter, we ca here this ti to eliminate these remnants of the Human Race!"
"There’s no rush for that, we must find Wu Yiming first. Speaking of which, what’s the na of Wu Yiming here in Jiuzhou? The mark he left instructed us to wait for him here, right?"
Xu Chiyuan glanced around, looking in all directions.
Next, he seed to discover sothing, revealing a delighted smile: "Hiding here!"
In a dark corner not far away, a shadow stood silently there, appearing to be part of the shadow; even upon careful inspection, one might not notice this shadow.
"You’re a bit slow," the shadow said coldly.
Xu Chiyuan shrugged and said: "Can’t help it, it’s too far away to arrive on ti, and we couldn’t contact you from the other side of Common Valley, Luo Changbai blocked the only path."
Hu Jiudie looked at the shadow and asked: "How did you know we would co here today?"
"Who else but you could drive a beast like ng Huai here?" the shadow replied coldly.
"Is that what Jiuzhou calls this kind of desolate beast? ng Huai, ng Huai, not bad, I like the na, it has more artistic conception than Hu Jiudie." Xu Chiyuan praised.
Hu Jiudie gave Xu Chiyuan a cold glance, but he didn’t mind at all, appearing to be in a good mood.
"Just the two of you?" the shadow asked.
"The others are still driving the beast tide back there, to completely wipe out the Human Race this ti, we must rely on the desolate beasts for a siege, correct? They’re working with the Demon Tentacle Race to herd all sorts of interesting desolate beasts here, planning a grand siege to trap the Human Race in the Great Desolate Realm with nowhere to escape!" Xu Chiyuan said delightedly.
"Aren’t you going to help?"
Hu Jiudie said coldly: "We have more important tasks."
"What is it?"
"The shard of the Human Dao ancestral tool!"
The shadow said solemnly: "The ancestral tool that seals the Human Dao? Did you find it?"
Xu Chiyuan nodded and said: "Yes, it took an enormous effort to find, it was hidden so deeply. We originally thought it was the great cauldron which connects all Dao embryos in Jiuzhou, but later we realized the Heavenly Dao divine pattern of Human Dao is not within the great cauldron. Anyway, we found it, but unfortunately, it’s missing a shard."
"With a shard of the Human Dao ancestral tool missing, how are you sure it’s in Jiuzhou? It might also be in the Edge Corner Airspace."
"No, it must be in Jiuzhou!" Hu Jiudie said with certainty.
"Why?"
"Because the Earth God took the ancestral tool that seals the Human Dao to the side of the great cauldron’s vortex, using... using... hmm... using so thod I don’t know to make it sense where its shard is, and it pointed to the great cauldron vortex, which is Jiuzhou!"
