The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1169 - 448: When the Gray Sun Descends on the Realm of Desire_3

At this point, Apan was greatly startled, realizing he had encountered a super-powerful being far beyond his own strength.

After taking only two breaths, he suddenly calmed down and bravely asked:

"Who might you be?"

"I mean no harm. I’m just a little interested in what you were just discussing."

Ye Hanjun snapped his fingers and directly took out several life-extending Spiritual Medicines from his storage ring, casually placing them on the table.

At the same time, the sound of a door opening came from outside, and Bana walked in, glancing at the four people present with slight confusion.

"What happened? How did you break into a private home?"

"He seems to have seen my companions. How could I ignore such information?"

Ye Hanjun smiled, suddenly releasing the only trace of oppressive force he had, and sat down comfortably in a chair.

It was apparent that the homeowner was not well-off.

Even the legs of the chairs were patched together, liable to break apart again at any moment.

But Ye Hanjun did not mind, nor did Ye Liuying.

Seeing that both of them had taken their seats, appearing ready for a friendly chat, Bana stepped forward, patted the young man’s back, and supported the older man, soothingly saying:

"I am ’Justice,’ one of the Seven Virtues. You can tell us anything; there is no need to be afraid."

"Ju-Justice?"

The already stiff old man’s wrinkles trembled in his face, startled so much he tripped over his tongue.

The young man, Apan, though startled for a moment too, had a very strong ability to adapt and still maintained his composure as he tried to sort out his thoughts:

"You overheard our earlier conversation. Are you interested in ’Diligence’?"

"Yes, Diligence is one of the Seven Virtues, and naturally, we would like to know his whereabouts."

"But I also heard ’Grey Sun God Church.’ Is this a new force emerging in the Realm of Desire? How did you join them?"

"..."

Apan’s eyes twitched, and he fell silent.

If he were dealing with a common villain, he might try to deceive to gain trust.

But the current situation was unclear, and among these three people, one claimed to be "Justice." The situation had developed far beyond the scope of his abilities.

"Do not be nervous; I am also a member of the Grey Sun God Church."

Ye Hanjun thought for a moment and activated the Gray Sun on his forehead.

At the same time, the gray full moon on Ye Liuying’s forehead and the gray star on Bana’s forehead also shone the same light.

"Is that truly the Gray Sun?!"

Apan, still perplexed and uneasy, was utterly shocked.

He had seen this emblem before; even in his bosom, he held an identical badge!

"Gua! We just slept for a while, and Taiyang has done so many things?"

GuaGua crawled out from behind Ye Hanjun, boldly standing on his shoulder.

Its eyes roamed curiously, finding the situation interesting.

The only ones who knew about the Gray Sun, aside from the companions who stayed on the little wooden boat with Lie Xinxin, couldn’t possibly be anybody else.

In other words, Big Tadpole himself hadn’t officially exerted his powers, and yet Lie Xinxin had actually helped spread the legend of the Grey Sun God? Quite the telepathy indeed!

"I have seen... the messenger of Shenyi!"

Without warning, Apan kneeled on one knee, his face no longer tense but instead filled with boundless reverence:

"The Left Protector said that when one encounters a person with the mark of the Gray Sun on their forehead, they may be regarded as the Sect Hierarch of the Divine Church."

"He is the only Direct Disciple of the Grey Sun God, the continuation of His blood, and even His incarnation."

"And the Gray Moon is the second in command of the holy emissaries, directly beneath in rank."

"In the prophecy of the Holy Beast King, when the Gray Sun descends into the Realm of Desire, the declining Human Race, the suffering Human Race, will face a turning point in their fate..."

"Now it seems, the time has come!"

"You have truly appeared, there is hope for the Human Race of the Realm of Desire!"

Moisture brimmed in the corners of Apan’s eyes.

It not only interpreted the excitement in his heart, but it also hid his boundless longing for a bright future.

"Rise," Ye Hanjun said, stepping forward to help him up while sneaking a gray star key into his forehead.

"Buzzz..."

After a brief refinement, Apan, who reopened his eyes, found his robes fluttering without wind, and within him lay a dormant giant dragon.

He showed a look of astonishment, amazed at his own hands.

Then, without any suspicion, his attitude became even more respectful:

"Exalted Shenyi Messenger, have you lost contact with the Left Protector? Do you need her latest information?"

"Yes," Ye Hanjun nodded. "Due to some uncontrollable factors, I have been separated from her for a long time, and we’ve temporarily lost contact."

"Then I will withhold nothing and tell all I know."

Apan was solemn, stating clearly:

"The last time I encountered the Left Protector was about thirty years ago."

"At that time, I left the Underground City to go hunting and was chased down by a Monster, saved by the Left Protector by chance."

"Later, as I was leaving and hiding in a corner, by sheer luck I saw several Primordial Dragon Demons radiating the Flame of Rage, towering above like mountains, majestic and invincible."

"They were pursuing a human, a severely injured human."

"That person was ’Diligence,’ with a severed left arm and a blinded right eye, in imminent peril."

"The Left Protector risked her life to save him, and with several other Fire Attribute beasts, managed to fend off the Primordial Dragon Demons’ pursuers."

"Then... touched by a wave of residual energy, I passed out on the spot."

"Fortunately, I survived afterwards, saved by a group calling themselves the Grey Sun God Church."

"Later, I joined them, and I also heard that the Left Protector’s situation was not very optimistic. The Seven Sins Demon Spawn of Rage was still chasing her and Diligence all over the world, vowing not to let her go even if she fled to the ends of the earth..."

Hearing this, Ye Hanjun’s eyes gradually gleamed with a cold light.

Rage... Primordial Dragon Demons...

This clan seems to have a knack for courting death...

Contemplating, he asked again:

"Any more recent news? For instance, where has she been in the past few years? I will set out to find her immediately."
