This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 930 - 444: Guardian of the Desert_3

"Oh?" Mu You was taken aback and looked at Evans with surprise.

He, just like Lin Xue, was a bloodline heir to a deity... However, this explained why Evans was so steadfast in his belief in the Desert Goddess.

"Yes," Evans said with a wry smile, nodding. He had never revealed his identity to anyone, but he wasn’t surprised that the Lamp God knew.

"What kind of deity is the Desert Goddess?" Mu You asked curiously.

"The Desert Goddess, known as ’Serket,’ holds the authority over ’detoxification.’ She is the nemesis of scorpions, venomous snakes, and all poisonous creatures of the desert. Due to the abundance of venomous creatures in the desert, the Desert Goddess has always been the most important protector of the residents of this land, without equals," Evans proudly explained.

"Serket, a kind-hearted and diligent goddess, never abandoned her divine duties until her death..." The Bard, hearing this, showed a look of nostalgia, as if recalling past events.

After a moment, he looked at Evans and nodded in satisfaction, "Now that she has a descendant like you to continue guarding the desert, she can rest in peace."

"From now on, you are the protector of the desert, of course, the uncelebrated kind..." The Bard looked at the group of Soldiers outside, "You defeated Caesar and protected the desert, yet it is destined that no one will know... But don’t worry, when I eventually regain my Divine Power, I will return to the desert and continue being a Bard, turning today’s heroic deeds into wandering tales, widely spreading them throughout the desert, so that everyone knows these heroes who protected the desert should not be buried by history."

Evans smiled noncommittally at this, looking down at the short sword in his hand.

He didn’t know if his Soldiers cared about such reputation, but anyway, he would continue to wield this sword and silently protect this land.

...

Half an hour later, Mu You and Lin Xue bid farewell to Evans and teleported back to Dawn City together.

Apart from the Bone Dragon, the Scorplion and the Lamp God also followed Mu You to Dawn City.

The appearance of two massive creatures immediately drew countless players’ attention, and the forum was instantly flooded with posts of astonishment.

The Scorplion found it all too noisy; it was here solely to protect the Divine Lamp and its master, having no interest in these mortals, and promptly transformed into an orange cat to find a quiet place to sleep.

In contrast, the Bone Dragon, surrounded and worshipped by countless players chatting and interacting with it, vaguely recaptured the feeling of being revered as the ’Divine Dragon’ by a congregation of believers in the Star Spirit World. Therefore, it purposely coiled itself in a conspicuous spot near the City Lord’s Castle, basking in the adoration of the onlookers.

Mu You didn’t concern himself with the Divine Beasts’ business and upon entering the city, he immediately took the Divine Lamp to the Underground City, made his way to the seventh floor, and through the doorway in the beehive, he descended into the power room where the God’s Corpse was stored.

Now that all conditions were met, he was ready to officially fuse his bloodlines.

"Yo, Bone of the Demon God!"

When Mu You took out the Bone of the Demon God and the Divine Blood, the phantom of the Bard emerging from the Divine Lamp was immediately astonished.

Drifting over to him, and looking at the massive Divine Bone on the ground, the Bard couldn’t help but marvel, "Not bad, to get your hands on such a high-level Divine Bone from the start... However, the Bone of the Demon God isn’t easy to merge with..."

Startled by the remark, Mu You quickly asked, "What? Are the Bone of the Demon God and the God of Order incompatible?"

If the Bone of the Demon God he had finally obtained was incompatible, he would have to start searching for a Divine Bone all over again...

"Oh, that’s not the problem. It’s just that fusing with such a high-star level Divine Bone from the beginning will cause a considerable strain on your body. In short, the fusion process will be very painful for you, and it will take much longer than it would with a regular Divine Bone."

Mu You instantly sighed in relief upon hearing this. As long as the integration was possible, he didn’t care about any pain; after all, it was just a one-time short burst of agony. The process would be over after the integration was complete; it wasn’t long-term, so it didn’t really matter to him.

"Then, how long will it take to integrate both of these items?" Mu You asked.

Accepting the Divine Skin was actually a matter of moments, but the precondition for receiving the inheritance was crucial: it was necessary to first integrate the Divine Blood, transforming one’s own body to a lineage capable of accepting the inheritance; then, to merge the Divine Bone into the body, enhancing the body’s strength and thus raising the star level and limit that the Divine Skin could manifest.

Of course, the integration of bone and blood could be done concurrently, without conflict.

"About a week, I guess," the Bard estimated.

"A week... that long?"

Mu You looked at him with a peculiar expression. He had thought that even if the Bone of the Demon God required more time, it would at most be a few hours, and surely he could finish before the ’door’ closed today.

As it turned out, it would take a whole week...

The Bard rolled his eyes: "Do you think this is like popping a pill, just swallow and you’re done? This is about completely reconfiguring your body from start to finish; there’s no way it could be that quick."

"Alright..."

Mu You forced a bitter smile. This meant that there was no way he would be able to return before today’s closing of the ’door’. Following the door’s rule of deducting life span, he was going to lose a total of 127 years of additional life span over the next week.

The loss of life span was not much of a concern to him. The key issue was that he still had to find a way to return after seven days, and it seemed rather unreliable to seek temporary help from other forces to borrow a door at that moment.

Luckily, this was not a big deal. Even if there was no other door available, there was still the well of the Fuya family to use. He could directly use that well to return after seven days, and as long as he was back on Earth, the life span deduction would naturally stop.

Next, Mu You first went back to the town and informed Lin Xue and the others of the news. He told Lin Xue to take Cola and Vivian back first and collect the door. Then he notified Fuya, asking her not to rush off and to come to Dawn City in seven days instead. He didn’t know the way to Fuya’s ancestral home and would need her to lead the way when the time came.

After accomplishing all this, Mu You finally returned to the engine room.

"What follows will be very painful, you, get ready mentally..." the Bard said.

"Hmm, begin," Mu You nodded, found a spot to lie down, and held the Divine Blood and Divine Bone in each hand. He took a breath, and began the integration.

"Ugh..."

The moment the integration started, Mu You immediately felt as if his entire skin had plunged directly into lava, becoming incredibly hot.

He admitted that he had underestimated the ’mental preparation’ the Lamp God had talked about.

The worst part was that amidst this indescribably severe pain, his consciousness was shockingly clear! ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Furthermore, the scalding heat was rapidly spreading inward, and soon Mu You felt as if every cell in his body was boiling and burning as if thrown into fierce flames and boiling oil, making life worse than death...
