Otherworldly Desert Dust

"Could it be a mistake?" Gao Yu Yan couldn’t help but voice her doubt.

After all, she had activated the Primordial Ship, a vessel capable of flattening a Demon Mountain.

If the Primordial Ship hadn’t destroyed those swarming locust hills, who knows how many people would have perished under the bites of those evil locusts? She had clearly protected the people of the Pure Land, so why couldn’t she compare to Wu Hen?

What exactly had Wu Hen done, could he have destroyed the entire locust evil realm?

Gao Yu Yan was both shocked and confused, as well as resentful and unconvinced!

She even began to doubt whether the Nuwa God’s perception had made an error and allowed Wu Hen to take the credit.

Little did she know that most people couldn’t perceive the truth. They didn’t know why the entire locust evil realm suddenly vanished, nor could they sense that an immensely powerful Underworld Heavenly Court was toying with humanity. Naively, they believed that the Nuwa God had emerged from the locust evil realm...

As for the Nuwa God, she clearly understood who had truly protected her and her people, which is why she showed such special affection and indulgence. She even manifested to forbid anyone from being hostile to Wu Hen!

Wu Hen scratched his head and glanced back at the crowd of bewildered people.

Why did this feel like being conferred a title of marquis...

However, upon further thought, this concerned the survival of the entire human race. Although walking along the edge of the locust evil realm this time did not mean they had conquered the whole Nuwa God, even if they successfully crossed this desert, who knows how many people would die?

The Nuwa God was, to begin with, trudging forward for the continuation of humanity. The more people survived, the more Spirit Awakeners could be born, which would allow the entire homeland to stand firm amidst the Desert Dust!

Despite her myriad grievances, Gao Yu Yan had to face the facts.

"It was him who broke through Yinzhou, using his wits to convince the Lord of Yin State. Otherwise, everyone would be separated by life and death." Captain Qin Sheng spoke righteously at this moment.

In short, this is what the patrol’s perspective showed!

Wu Hen successfully persuaded the Lord of Yin State, proving that the Lord of Yin State was a reasonable Venerable Desert Dust!

Therefore, the greatest merit had to go to Wu Hen!

"To be able to converse with a Venerable Desert Dust, this young man has guts and wisdom!" An elder raised a thumb towards Wu Hen!

"Most Venerable Desert Dusts see us humans as ants, who knew they could really communicate?"

"Ultimately, it still depends on one’s own abilities. Some Venerable Desert Dusts with benevolence and lines they won’t cross are willing to give us weaker beings a chance, and we can even receive some goodwill. Therefore, everyone must strive harder; there are too many unknowns in the Desert Dust..."

"This Wu Hen is quite remarkable. If possible, we could cultivate him into a Martial Hero for our human homeland, giving more people confidence in facing the Desert Dust." The White Hat Leader seemed to have an epiphany and started telling his assistants.

The assistants immediately took notes.

"I think his family still lives in Li City. We can bring them to the Silver Dome for better protection." Mingyi urgently told the White Hat Leader.

"I’ll send someone to handle it... Oh, I’ll go personally; I happen to be a bit lost myself." The White Hat Leader immediately said.

After saying this, the White Hat Leader looked at Nuwa Yan again, wanting to know if the Nuwa God was satisfied with his "change for the better." Unfortunately, Nuwa Yan did not show any expression.

To avoid being looked down upon by the Nuwa God, the White Hat Leader immediately used his resources to help Wu Hen bring his family to the Silver Dome.

...

Under the Nuwa Yan, Wu Hen continued to examine this miraculous face.

He wanted to know if the Nuwa God could speak.

Could she have emotions like joy and anger?

Did she like to hear human gossip?

Or was she truly ethereal and unfathomable, requiring only pure faith from people.

Suddenly, a crystal-like tear fell from Nuwa Yan and landed in Wu Hen’s hand.

Before Wu Hen could feel it, the tear had merged into his body and lightly enveloped the Black Divine Death Sword that had been dormant within him.

Was the Nuwa God healing the Heavenly Father???

Wu Hen was astonished, then his face lit up with joy.

Nuwa Yan did not respond, only emitting a gentle and peaceful radiance, which also enveloped Wu Hen’s body.

Wu Hen raised his eyes, feeling a strand of divine soul gently embracing him. It was very kind, very familiar, very tender...

"Spirit Awakening???"

For a moment, all the Guardians and Patrols were stunned. They hadn’t expected that the blessing Wu Hen received was a Spirit Awakening baptism!

The vast majority of Spirit Awakeners only possessed a single Spiritual Sense, each sense—smell, hearing, taste, touch, vision—granting different abilities based on the individual, different abilities to observe the Otherworldly Dust...

Dual Spiritual Awakenings were rare among such a large number of Spirit Awakeners. Perhaps as more people fell into the Desert Dust and were sifted, there would be more dual Spiritual Awakenings, but at this stage, those with dual Spiritual Awakenings were very few!

Everyone who entered the Desert Dust knew that the most terrifying thing wasn’t the powerful and ferocious creatures but the hidden dangers that could silently take lives, those elements that overturned human understanding—trees, flowers, stones, grass, mountains, rivers, lakes, cities, seas could all be illusions. Non-Spirit Awakeners generally could not identify them and found them even harder to avoid, and most Spirit Awakeners would fall prey to them, being swept into the cruel laws of the Desert Dust...

Therefore, the most important thing in the Desert Dust was not martial power, as the Desert Dust was teeming with powerful predators. What was truly needed was perception, perceiving those hidden otherworldly fangs and taking the right measures. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Having an extra perception meant knowing more about things, even avoiding danger in advance, significantly increasing survival rates, no longer relying on fate to navigate!

Even individuals who had advanced to regional leaders sometimes did not have dual Spiritual Awakenings.

At this moment, the Nuwa God had given such a rare blessing to Wu Hen, to a young man who had been unknown among the human community just a day ago!

Gao Yu Yan’s legs went weak, and she could barely stand!

In other words, without Wu Hen, this Spirit Awakening blessing would have been hers, she might have surpassed her older brother, becoming the focus of the entire human race!

What exactly did he do, save the Nuwa God’s life??

Isn’t the Spirit Awakening said to be a highly draining task for the Nuwa God, why would she give it to someone as disreputable as Wu Hen??

"Huh, why are everyone’s eyes red?"

Wu Hen voiced a bit of confusion.

Maybe everyone was just too tired. Indeed, everyone had been busy for so long and hadn’t slept.

"Cough cough~"

Suddenly, Wu Hen felt a discomfort in his throat, like having a large mouthful of mouthwash that cleared out the old phlegm from his throat.

Wu Hen instinctively spat it out, only to find it was a thread of turbid air, which seemed to have clogged his esophagus and throat for a long time. After clearing it out, he felt inexplicably refreshed, and his appetite had increased!

"It seems like it’s taste, he’s awakened taste!" Captain Qin Sheng, a fellow taste Spiritual Awakener, immediately said.

"Taste?? What’s the use of having a taste Spirit Awakening, will it just make eating more enjoyable?" Wu Hen was also puzzled.

He had hoped to awaken Spiritual Vision!

He wished his eyesight would become stronger.

"Mother Nuwa, can I get a different one, open my eyes instead? Otherwise, I always have trouble seeing the essence of the Desert Dust." Wu Hen straightforwardly raised his head and made his request.

This statement nearly scared all the Guardians and Patrols to death!

It was outrageous enough that he received a Spirit Awakening blessing, and now he was specifying which Spiritual Sense to awaken!!

"Wu Hen, taste isn’t just about taste. It’s like your body’s metabolism, your body will absorb some special energies in the Desert Dust. You can also enhance your physique quickly through eating and drinking. I once found a piece of Holy Demon Meat, and after eating it, my physique reached the Third Rank... Taste is an important ability to strengthen our physique, and it’s the only Spiritual Awakening that can directly boost your combat power!" Captain Qin Sheng hurriedly explained to Wu Hen.

"Eat and get stronger??" Wu Hen asked.

"Yes, most Desert Dust creatures have strange power, ancient power, or divine power. If you consistently eat these mystical creatures, you can gain their powers, breaking the limits of human physiques!" Captain Qin Sheng said.

"That sounds good, I do like a sturdy self!" Wu Hen immediately understood the importance of a taste Spiritual Awakening upon hearing this.

Refining the body through food, breaking the genetic shackles of the human body, advancing towards what is known as physique cultivation. He didn’t have an Evolution Chain Gate, so improving his martial prowess in the short term was difficult. This taste Spirit Awakening was indeed timely!

Eat!

Eat in big bites!

In the quest for survival in the Desert Dust, having a discerning palate is key!

"I won’t change it, Mother Nuwa, I won’t change it, this taste Spirit Awakening is very good!" Wu Hen hurriedly waved his hand to indicate.

It was truly outrageous.

The White Robe Leader, Gao Yu Yan, and the Guardians noticed that when Wu Hen asked to change his Spiritual Sense, a strand of the divine soul in Nuwa Yan actually seemed to want to grant his request...

Such an extreme request, and the Nuwa God was willing to agree??

This made everyone suspect that while they were indeed made of clay, Wu Hen must have been her own flesh and blood!!

"It seems like Mother Nuwa also granted Wu Hen a Life Tear." At this moment, Mingyi quietly said.

"What’s a Life Tear?" Wu Hen’s ears were sharp, and he heard Mingyi’s soft words.

However, upon hearing his question, everyone fell silent.

Life Tear...

As the name suggests, it was related to "life."

Her own flesh and blood. Continue reading on empire

Absolutely her own flesh and blood!

While everyone was made of Nuwa’s clay, Wu Hen must have been born from her womb!

"You’ve got an extra life!" Finally, Gao Yu Yan, gritting her teeth, spoke up.

"It’s not like a game where you get an extra life." Wu Hen laughed.

But at this moment, he was the only one laughing here.

Everyone else had gloomy faces, seemingly trying hard to contain something!!

Wu Hen felt that his kind-hearted human companions were no different from those in the Underworld Heavenly Court—they all looked like they wanted to devour him alive!

"Do I really have another life?" Wu Hen pointed at himself.

"Once you’re close to death, the Nuwa God will call your soul back immediately. Even a Heavenly Brilliance Level being won’t be able to keep you, and when your soul returns, the Nuwa God will reconstruct a Desert Dust body for you."

"Yes, you really have an extra life compared to all of us!!"
