Storm of Gods

Chapter 251 Re-entering the Sacred Land
Chirp chirp chirp chirp...

Li Xin woke up. These birds were quite punctual, chirping happily. Li Xin didn't open his eyes. The person next to him was no longer there, but the aroma was still there. He lazed around for a while before opening his eyes. Breakfast was already on the table.

Li Xin got out of bed and went to the window. He especially liked looking out from here. Yesterday, when he wanted to clarify their relationship, Christie had stopped him. It would be impolite to continue. After all, it would be too pretentious to say that he was at a disadvantage in this matter.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, Christie is more calm. No matter what the reason, under the current circumstances, he should be more patient. As Lao Luo said, it is a luxury for Night Watchers to talk about feelings, and it is even more unwise for two Night Watchers to be together. Li Xin understands this and has no way to refute it. This is why he left Tianjing, and why he did not bring Aunt Fei and Xiao Xueyin over even though Herdan is a very suitable place to live.

The most troublesome problem right now is the internal organ demon. Whether it's number one or number two, it will cause a major incident in Heldan, and I'm afraid no one will be able to escape unscathed.

The recent sense of comfort has made him forget where he is from time to time.

Born in hardship, die in comfort. Yes, I am truly too cultured. As for the goodwill from the Gourmet Association, it can be viewed from two perspectives. The other party must have sensed something different, either from me or from the Secret Fortress. There must be something between the secret organizations that they do not know. I cannot take myself too seriously. Of course, this good relationship has brought great convenience, and I do have to accept this favor. Everyone in this world has some ulterior motives.

Li Xin happily finished his breakfast. Since getting this bracelet, it has become so convenient. He no longer has to move things around. He thanked Young Master Didia, what a kind person.

Li Xin rolled the dice and made a judgment regarding Simmons' sacred site. The result was an extremely dangerous number, confirming Li Xin's guess and completely extinguishing his hopes.

Today's plan is to go to the sacred land of Celia. He had consulted the Grand Bishop about Simmons' situation, and it was best not to enter the sacred land for the time being. Even if he had to enter in the future, he would have to be extremely careful. Once he got involved with something, even if he seemed to have cleaned it all up, some traces would still be left behind. These traces could attract the covetousness of others when entering the sacred land. For the sake of his dear young master Simmons, Li Xin had secretly made a judgment for Simmons. The result of the judgment was six points, which meant that it was generally favorable to Simmons. The ghostly thing under the fog was coming for him.

For families like George's, understanding divine relics means that sacred sites are not essential; potions can also provide assistance. In fact, nobles generally don't fight to the death in sacred sites. Only those with exceptional talent and lofty ambitions, for whom potions cannot satisfy, will continue to wage war in sacred sites. And such people are generally focused on pursuing hidden power and secret authority, rather than worldly power.

The pursuits one makes in life determine the path one takes.

After going downstairs, Li Xin found that there were fewer people today. He leisurely went to Old Morton's place for breakfast. On the way, he picked up a golden fruit from the fruit stand to whet his appetite. Little Morton had started school and didn't rest even on weekends. His teacher valued him highly, so he opened extracurricular classes for some outstanding students.

Li Xin could only say that all other worlds are this chaotic. Old Morton, on the other hand, was overjoyed and worked with boundless energy. He had no ambitions in life, and if young Morton could have a good future, then everything would be worthwhile.

As usual, Li Xin ate his fill, patted his belly, and hailed a convertible to go to the Holy Ze Church. As soon as he arrived at the church, it was as if he was separated from the outside world, and his worries were greatly reduced. The air here was exceptionally refreshing.

Simmons and Celia arrived. Upon seeing Li Xin, Celia curiously circled around him, saying, "Hmm, something about you seems a little different."

"Nothing's different. It's always been like this."

“No, there’s definitely been a change. She has a great aura, and she looks radiant,” Celia said strangely. “Her skin is glowing too.”

"Damn, I'm not a woman." Li Xin didn't accept such praise. "I had some contact with the Food Association yesterday, and I'd like to share with you guys."

Li Xin shared the intelligence with Simmons and Celia, including his later analysis with Christie, which left both of them silent for quite some time.

Celia also realized the gravity of the situation and looked at Simmons. Simmons thought for a moment, "No matter who the murderer is, I want to investigate. I won't live my life until someone like that is executed." "Simmons, I think highly of you."

"Thank you, but you don't need it!"

Celia set up the Gate of Truth. As the number of people increased, the sacred land would undergo an anomaly, and Li Xin's presence would obviously exacerbate the anomaly. They were no strangers to this kind of thing, but they had never encountered anything as exaggerated as Li Xin. "Brother Li, I'm a little nervous. You have to protect me."

Even her brother couldn't stand it anymore. "Celtis, wipe your drool. If you're excited, then be excited."

Celia stomped on Simmons's foot hard. "Shut up and keep a close eye on things. Your only and cutest little sister's life is in your hands. If things get bad, get me out of here."

"Alright, alright, I know. With Brother Li around, there won't be any trouble. This is a rare opportunity for you." Simmons hadn't been idle lately, constantly strengthening his mastery of lightning power and gradually experiencing the wonders of his superpower. Mainly because he had heterochromia, the enhancement combined with lightning power allowed him to improve very quickly. Give him a few more months, and he felt he had a real chance to defeat Didia head-on. The family's attention to him had also increased. At least when he spoke in family meetings, no one dared to be sarcastic or sarcastic anymore.

Grandpa's judgment was truly accurate. Simmons gradually realized how important it was to have a keen eye for people and things, as it could turn the tide and change one's destiny.

Grandpa has been very busy lately. I don't know what he's doing, but it must be something important.

Li Xin and Celia stood still, and as the Gate of Truth was activated, their figures disappeared. Simmons, however, stared intently at the crystal ball, and their figures reappeared inside the crystal ball.

Li Xin steadied himself, and what came into view was an endless desert, with yellow sand and mist mingling together. There were also broken walls and ruins around him, most of which were mottled and buried by the yellow sand.

Celia's mouth dropped open. "Brother Li, this wasn't like this before! This is so exciting! You really can change the sacred land!"

What was it like before?

“It’s a desert city, but it’s never looked like this apocalypse. My family even had a reclusive elder guide me before, and things didn’t change much. But you’ve changed everything.” Celia stared intently at Li Xin, completely disregarding her surroundings. She was confident that Li Xin’s strength was enough to protect her.

Li Xin wasn't as optimistic as Celia. He didn't know if the sacred lands were interconnected or if there was some kind of connection. The dice's reaction was normal, and it was obviously comfortable. The main thing was to guard against the thing under the fog targeting him. Before the rules became clear, it was better to be cautious.

A path leading forward could be faintly seen in the yellow sand. Li Xin's eyes turned pale white. Through the yellow sand, a city could be vaguely seen in the distance. This was somewhat similar to Simmons's. The stone bridge looked like the outer perimeter of a city, and there were already signs of a city.

What they had in common was an aura of decay and destruction. The life force emanating from the two was quickly detected by the corrupted creatures. A faint rustling sound came from the sandstorm, and Celia's smug and excited expression vanished. The dense sound was gradually drowning out the sound of the sandstorm. The sand dunes in the distance began to undulate, and then pairs of red eyes gradually increased. About a hundred Lickers gathered. These Lickers were different from those in Simmons's group. Their bodies were cracked and mutilated, and their faces were ugly and numb. But when they noticed the two, their seemingly dead eyes gradually turned into madness. Howls pierced the gale, and the Lickers leaped up and pounced on the two with an agility that did not match their physical condition.

Celia is not a knight and doesn't have Simmons' offensive and defensive capabilities. A sorcerer is good at providing support, but she has little ability to fight back against group attacks from monsters.

Li Xin scooped up Celia in his arms. Celia thought they were going to retreat, but instead, Li Xin started charging forward with her in his arms.
