The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

　"I'm calling you to wake up, Lord Evil God."

　Xingmo smiled, threw the clothes to Aurora, and began to comb her hair in front of the mirror:

　"It's time to get down to business today."

Chapter 246: The Blasphemers (Part 5) -4k- (Two Updates in One)

　After leaving the tent, Xingmo and Aurora rode camels and traveled through the sand dunes with their belongings.

　As the two went deeper, the dangers of the desert gradually became apparent, like a vicious beast baring its fangs.

　Extremely high temperatures, dangerous quicksand, poisonous scorpions hidden in the sand, and whispers carried by the wind and sand.

　A scorching wind kept blowing from the depths of the Erulu Desert. This wind was much hotter than that in New Galo. Even though Xing Mo used ice string magic to control the temperature, she still felt her face getting hot from time to time.

　This high temperature does not seem to be formed normally at all.

　There is no doubt that something is creating this wind, and the source of these winds is where that thing is entrenched.

　Xingmo was sure that he was getting closer and closer to the sunrise.

　"call--"

　Yellow sand swept in, and ripples appeared on the sea of ​​sand, like flames sweeping across the hills.

　The visibility was getting lower and lower. Xingmo used his magic wand to maintain the resonance with the Starlight String and used a golden barrier to block the oncoming wind and sand.

　She wrapped her headscarf and veil tightly around her, and her mind couldn't help but imagine the long line of golden people trudging through the yellow sand.

　Have they emerged from such wind and sand since ancient times?

　This powerful nation that has experienced hardships has wandered in the sea of ​​sand for thousands of years. Not only has it not been wiped out, it has now occupied the northern side of the continent and is the most powerful empire in the world.

　But even among such a nation, few people have ever entered the divine abode in the deepest part of the desert.

　It is called the Land of the Sunrise. Legend has it that it is the place where the sun rises from the sea of ​​sand and where the sun of the Golden People is buried.

　And in the mouth of Mentor Lucius, there lies the truth about Genesis.

　What kind of ultimate secret has remained undiscovered for thousands of years?

　No, someone saw those.

　That was the man called the Golden King.

　After witnessing all of that, he led his race out of the sea of ​​sand, stirred up a sandstorm, and eventually became an emperor who dominated one side.

　And Xingmo is about to become the second person.

　She didn't dare to imagine what would happen after she witnessed all that. She only knew that if she wanted to protect everything behind her, she had to move forward.

　""

　After walking in the wind and sand for a whole day, the dust finally subsided a lot.

　Xingmo glanced at her watch and saw that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

　"Hey! Look, there's something up ahead!"

　Aurora pointed forward, looking curious.

　Looking in the direction of her finger, Xingmo saw half a stone statue.

　It seemed to be some kind of monster with a bird's head and a lion's body, only half of it was exposed above the sand, while the other half was covered by the sand.

　"Is this a ruin?"

　Xingmo and Aurora got off their camels and walked towards the stone statue in the wind and sand.

　The stone statue is covered with traces of weathering, and many details have become blurred. Only the general shape can be identified.

　And on the base of the stone statue, there was a faint line of golden text.

　Xingmo squatted down, squinted his eyes, and roughly discerned that it was some kind of ancient imperial language.

　She had probably learned something, so she translated it with difficulty:

　"...Great Yi, blazing sun! Behold that magnificent city, so majestic that even the heavens would bow down to it!" (Note 1)

　Xingmo raised his head and looked past the stone statue into the distance.

　In the sea of ​​sand, scattered ruins emerge from the sand, broken walls and ruins, lonely and dilapidated.

　This used to be... a city?

　A city deep in the sea of ​​sand, close to the sunrise, and adjacent to where the sun rises.

　The construction era... should be the Age of Gods.

　From the inscriptions on the stone statues, we know that this place was once very magnificent and was a city protected by the sun.

　But now, it is in ruins.

　Its name is not even recorded in history, and even the existing Golden People do not know about this city.

　A great achievement, after the fall of the gods, only ruins are left.

　Looking at the ruins, Xingmo seemed to recall its heyday in his mind - the desert at that time might not be a wasteland, but a paradise under the sun.

　The hustle and bustle of the streets, the hawkers’ cries, the children’s playfulness.

　Now, there is only the sound of wind and sand.

　"This is probably the place where the great sage

　A hiding place..."

　Aurora looked at the ruined city:

　"A ruin from the Age of Gods. Wow, it seems the Hanging Gardens are quite good at archaeology, choosing such a memorable place."

　"There must be something special about this city," Xingmo whispered. "Perhaps... it can borrow spiritual energy from the Sunrise Land?"

　"Let's go in and take a look."

　Aurora spoke, her pupils outlined by green light:

　"After all... we've already felt it."

　Xingmo opened the tree's vision, and immediately she saw a flickering darkness rising and falling repeatedly in the depths of the desert.

　There is no doubt that that is where the great sage is.

　"Let's go."

　Xingmo drew out his wand and stepped into the ruined city.

　The scale of this ruin is extremely large. Judging from the urban planning, it should be not much different from New Galo, or even better.

　As we got closer to the source of the darkness, the surrounding buildings became more and more well-preserved, and the gravel streets under our feet gradually took on a complete shape, and we could even make out the patterns on them.

　Half an hour later, Xingmo stood in front of a dome-shaped building.

　In fact, the upper part of the building has been destroyed, and only the fragments can be judged that it once had a smooth dome, very similar to the Palace of Wisdom in Xinjialuo.

　The door of the building does not lead to the interior, but goes straight down, seemingly leading to an endless abyss.

　"This is it."

　""

　Walking down the stairs, the sound of wind and sand gradually faded, and darkness came over us.

　Not long after, Xingmo and Aurora arrived in front of a big door.

　"Hello, is anyone there?" Aurora knocked on the door. "Open it, open it."

　No one responded.

　"That's very rude," Aurora commented.

　"Little ancestor, move aside," Xingmo pulled out his wand, "I'll teach him what politeness is."

　"Oh~"

　Aurora pushed aside, and Xingmo stepped forward, wand raised.

　She was about to blow the door open when she heard a whisper from behind the door:

　“Enough…enough…”

　Accompanied by whispers, the door slowly opened to both sides, as if it was being dragged by an invisible force.

　"What powerful spiritual power..." Aurora muttered, "This is a saint."

　"The Great Sage is actually also a Saint?" Xing Mo frowned. "I thought he was an academic talent like Mr. Luffy, but I didn't expect him to be a wizard."

　"This is not a normal saint. The spiritual energy fluctuations are very chaotic and have gone out of control."

　Aurora said this, then took the initiative to walk forward and enter the corridor.

　Xing Mo followed and dived into the seemingly endless darkness.

　Black, endless black, as if everything was swallowed by the shadow.

　Xing Mo felt like she had plunged into a pitch-black lake. The further she moved forward in the darkness, the stronger the ominous thoughts became.

　She felt like she was being watched, as if countless eyes in the darkness were staring at her, watching her every move.

　Soon, the two came to another half-open door.

　The door looked very simple, like an ordinary door that could be seen in any house.

　But behind the door, an unpleasant smell came out.

　The smell was like a mixture of coke and mud, mixed with a faint stench.

　Xingmo turned around, nodded at Aurora, and then pushed open the door.

　The space behind the door was dim, but based on its layout one could barely tell it was a small office.

　Deep in this ancient city, there is actually... an office?

　There is no doubt that this is the hiding place of the great sage Thoth Ibrahim!

　All the cursed essences mined in those desert camps were transported here, to this desert far away from the civilized world.

　As for him, he was researching in the darkness and finally created that powerful extraordinary object.

　Now, the troops and researchers stationed here have left on steam airships as the plan was completed, and he is the only one left here.

　"Crunch, crunch..."

　From the darkness came the strange sound of teeth colliding, one after another, like some kind of greeting.

　Xingmo looked towards the source of the sound: behind the desk in the center of the room, there was a dark shadow waiting.

　His upper body was very thin, and he was wearing a loose robe with faint holes in it.

　His face was obscured by shadows, and only the most basic features could be vaguely seen.

　"A visitor from afar..."

　The hoarse male voice, accompanied by a sound like muscle tissue being torn, was sticky and disgusting.

　"Please don't... destroy the ancient capital... the sun... the sun has set..."

　"Are you Thoth Ibrahim?" Xingmo did not let down her guard. "Great Sage?"

　"...That is indeed...my name..." the shadow murmured, "My former name..."

　"What do you mean?"

　"I have abandoned... my identity..." Thoth chuckled, "I have become one with the Lord..."

　"Who is your Lord?"

　"It is the first...sun..."

　Thoth's voice was pious and somewhat ethereal, as if he was gazing at some great and beautiful existence.

　"Great Ibn... His name is known throughout the world and is recited by all..."

　"But... for believers.

　..To know the name of God is to blaspheme!"

　His tone suddenly became excited again:
