Chapter 469

This desert was once a warm Wang Yang forest.

A race once lived here.

Later, their numbers dwindled.

They left their homeland.

They became displaced.

Finally, they were called the Desert Dwellers.

And there is an ancient legend about these Desert Dwellers.

It is said that one day,

a Desert Sage would defeat the monster at the deepest heart of the desert.

And lead them back to their homeland.

Finally, even turn the desert back into a warm Wang Yang. "Desert Sage!"

Hua Baiqi and all of them suddenly remembered this story.

And cried out in horror.

"What's going on!"

"What on earth is happening!"

"The entire Death Desert has sprouted green vegetation!" "Even… reborn as a warm Wang Yang?" At this moment!

All kingdoms along the edge of the Death Desert were stunned.

They each dispatched many people to investigate.

And these past few days,

the fact that the entire Death Desert was vanishing,

had become the talk of the land.

"I heard that at the time, there was a divine dragon!"

"It could command wind and rain, and caused terrifying rains to fall across the entire desert region!" In a kingdom's teahouse,

many people had gathered here.

One man was recounting the huge events of these past days. "You heard that too!"

"Let me tell you, I saw it with my own eyes—I was in Tian Shui City!" "You know, at the time, half of Tian Shui City had already been swallowed by yellow sands!" "The authorities had ordered their men to assist us in evacuating!" "Just then?" "Can you guess what happened?"

Another man rebutted the previous speaker.

He spoke up.

He paused here. "What happened next?"

Seeing him stop, everyone asked.

When the man saw all eyes fixed on him,

he smiled and began.

"Just as we were about to evacuate—even as some had already moved halfway!" "Suddenly, the wind and clouds shifted!"

"A mighty dragon's Long Yin echoed through heaven and earth!" "Then, violent storms and torrential rain descended!"

"The entire Death Desert was shrouded in misty rain!" "But that wasn't the most shocking part!" "Then…" "Then?"

Seeing him narrate vividly,

the crowd's curiosity flared again! "What did I see next?"

"I saw a stunningly beautiful woman walking through the storm, singing a beautiful melody!" "I swear, I had never seen a woman so beautiful!" "She was ten times more beautiful than any princess or empress!" "She carried an aura of inviolable holiness!" "She was the Life Goddess!"

"The Life Goddess appeared, accompanied by a beautiful melody and sweet tune!" "She heard everyone's prayers!"

"To drive away the yellow desert, she came to save us!" "Hiss!"

When the crowd heard the man reach this point,

they all held their breath.

Then!

They drew in a sharp, chilling breath. "The Life Goddess?" Everyone gasped!

The Life Goddess—she was the legendary goddess who brought hope and life to all. She could revive all things.

Turning a sea of death into a lush forest was not impossible. "But the story I heard was different…" Just as everyone marveled and believed this tale,

another man, dressed as a bard, stepped forward… 0 flowers 0. "Hm?"

He was a famous local bard.

He was well-traveled and knowledgeable.

Seeing him oppose it,

the crowd did not immediately refute him.

Instead, they leaned in to listen.

"The story I heard goes like this!"

"It is said that within the Death Sea Desert!"

"In the past, this place was not a desert, but a forest known as Warm Wang Yang!" "It was home to a peaceful race!" The bard said.

Seeing everyone listening intently,

he began to speak slowly.

Even the man who claimed to have seen the Life Goddess said nothing.

He listened in silence.

"Later, a terrifying presence emerged within the Warm Wang Yang—it was this being that caused the entire Warm Wang Yang to change utterly."

"From that day on, the forest turned into a desert!"

"The yellow sands continuously swallowed other regions, and terrifying yellow sand phantom beasts appeared!"

"Slowly, the residents were driven out!"

"To survive, they left their homeland behind!"

"But their ancestors left behind a legend!"

"It was said that one day, a special being would appear!"

"Riding a divine dragon capable of commanding wind and rain, it would save them!"

"Defeat the demon deep within the desert and turn the desert back into the warm Wang Yang!"

Here, he stopped.

The bard fell silent.

His expression grew serious.

"That person's name is the Desert Sage!"

"The Desert Sage!"

Upon hearing this name, everyone murmured it over and over.

They seemed to see a figure radiating sacred light.

Riding a divine dragon capable of commanding wind and rain!

Soaring through the nine heavens.

Looking down upon them from above.

"Roar!"

In the void!

They seemed to hear, beside their ears,

The voice of the sacred dragon.

That voice echoed endlessly within their hearts.

Heart-shaking.

"The Desert Sage!"

"Life Goddess!"

"What do you think?"

At this moment!

Inside a vast hall!

Twelve strange individuals sat around a massive table.
