"Battle God!" The red-haired girl turned her head in the direction of the one-eyed man, and when she saw Bexia, her face couldn't help but show a surprised expression, a strong sense of joy that was both lost and regained rushed into her heart!
"Battle God..." The red-haired girl's address to Bexia made the one-eyed man furrow his brows. He had heard of the title Battle God before. It was a famous name among the Talaku family, a lineage of gods known in the Yellow Sand World. If not for some unforeseen circumstances, they wouldn't have set their sights on the Talaku family's power.
Although Bexia was called the Battle God, the one-eyed man didn't believe he was the same Battle God of the Talaku family. After all, the Talaku family had a heritage of nearly a hundred thousand years, and the young man in front of him seemed too young to be the legendary Battle God. How could he be the one?
The one-eyed man was also an immortal god, and as such, he could see things that ordinary people couldn't. For instance, the residual time power on a person's body could indicate their age. This was not easy to conceal unless one had the power to distort the traces of time, a sense of existence that was unnecessary in their Yellow Sand World.
The mysteries of the universe were meant to be tackled by more powerful beings. Many people only knew of the world they inhabited, and many would die without ever realizing the vastness of the universe beyond. When the one-eyed man had just broken through to become an immortal god, he thought he had stood at the peak of the world. But when he ventured into the cosmos, staying for only a few days, he hurried back, heavily injured.
At that moment, he realized that the world he lived in was just a small one in the vastness of the universe, as insignificant as a grain of sand in the Ganges River. Therefore, he became exceedingly cautious, even though his strength was not inferior to the leader of the Yellow Sand Thieves. He chose to step back, rarely showing himself, focusing on cultivation, and embracing the so-called "Dodging Dao"!
Preserving one's life is crucial. Everything must be handled cautiously. Only when overpowering strength is involved should one act. No fights among equals. If the situation is unfavorable, flee immediately!
"If you're here for the orphan of the Talaku family, then take her with you!" The one-eyed man said, then rode his mount, a giant bug, and left without a moment's hesitation, leaving Bexia, who was about to make a move, somewhat speechless. Weren't they supposed to be bold thieves? Why did he turn around and run, especially as an immortal god?
Where has your dignity as a deity gone?
Though the unexpected reaction caught Bexia off guard, he chose not to pursue. Instead, he walked up to the red-haired girl, gazed at her helplessly for a moment. He had intended to leave, but with this sudden turn of events, he felt a pang of guilt. Now, he wasn't sure what to do!
Leaving her here was far too dangerous! But he was reluctant to bring her along; after all, he already had enough people by his side!
"Battle God, I knew you wouldn't abandon me!" The red-haired girl wore a smile of contentment, leaving Bexia unsure of how to handle her.
"You... Forget it, come with me!" After pondering for a moment and sighing, Bexia decided it was best to take her along. He would leave her in Huanggu or find a suitable place for her to stay.
"Thank you, teacher!" The red-haired girl assumed Bexia had agreed to her earlier request and immediately referred to him as teacher.
"Don't call me that! I didn't agree to take you in..."
"But you nodded your head, teacher!"
"Sigh—! Fine, what's your name?"
"Miaomiao Talaku!"
"Then I'll call you Miaomiao!" Bexia thought for a moment before asking, "Miaomiao, does your family have anything to do with the Radiant Gloriousness?"
Bexia deliberately mentioned the term Radiant Gloriousness and gestured towards the hollow above, where his Divinity should have been embedded.
"Originally, the Heart of the Battle God was with us, but it was lost accidentally. Otherwise, our family wouldn't have been attacked!" Miaomiao couldn't help but look dejected as she spoke. This incident had led to the downfall of her family. Who would dare to mess with her family if the Heart of the Battle God hadn't been lost?
When the Battle God's Blade and the Heart of the Battle God were combined, they could unleash the strength to rival gods with just one Saint. If used by a deity, they could even fight against three to five gods. This kind of power was not something ordinary people could contend with. Not to mention the current Yellow Sand Thieves, even two Yellow Sand Thieves wouldn't dare to provoke her Talaku family.
"Oh! Is that so?" Bexia had some suspicions but didn't expect his former weapon to be related to the two-fold resonance. He had thought those were scattered Divinity instead.
He remembered clearly that the Divinity was originally in his hands, alongside other divine artifacts, but for some reason, while most of the artifacts were present, none of the Divinity remained.
Was it due to the power of the Styx Ocean? But that didn't make sense! Why were the losses all Divinity and not divine artifacts?
And why did Lucifer have a part of the Dark Abyss Throne? Who handed it to her? Although it was said to be himself, Bexia didn’t believe he was the Overlord of the Abyss.
However, the contract inscribed on Lucifer couldn't be false. If it wasn't related to him, would she, a perpetual-level deity, almost becoming a creator deity, casually find a "master" for herself?
