Chapter 53: The Tremor-Tremor Fruit

Salt of the Earth.

Salt of the God, Heuria, stayed in the room, her expression filled with worry, sighing repeatedly.

"Could it be that even this last sanctuary..."

"... cannot be saved?"

After the Archon War began, the strife between the Archons grew ever more fierce.

Heuria's own authority was not an authority of combat; she could make her subjects prosperous, but she could not effectively protect them.

To ensure her people suffered no harm, she had retreated time and again, until this very day.

The Mingyun Tribe, neighboring the Salt of the Earth, had their Archon issue a final ultimatum.

They demanded that Heuria hand over the territory of the Salt of the Earth today.

If Heuria surrendered the territory of the Salt of the Earth, they would have no choice but to hide underground to survive.

To this day, Heuria had not failed to consider resistance.

It was just that when she wished to resist, she discovered...

... that she did not even possess weapons capable of protecting her people.

"My Lord, the God of Salt!"

At that moment, a respectful voice from a believer sounded outside the door.

"What is it?"

Heuria withdrew from her thoughts and spoke faintly.

"The Wood Spirit Immortal Lord of Guili Plain... wishes to see you."

"Who?!"

Heuria stood up abruptly, her tone filled with shock and fear.

She must not be hallucinating, right?

What would that Immortal Lord from Guili Plain be doing here?!

Could it be that he has come to...

When the house leaks, it rains all night long.
