The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1168 - 448: When Gray Sun Descends on the Realm of Desire_2

"How come, is Bana not worthy?"

"She embodies Justice among the Seven Virtues and might have the chance to become a Sealing Emperor."

"If you follow her, you’d live a life of luxury and comfort."

GuaGua shook its head vigorously, trying to tempt.

"Goo goo goo..."

The Silver Bell Insect Saint became even more frightened, foaming at the mouth weakly, barely staying conscious:

"Se Seven Virtues? Competing against the Seven Sins Demon King?"

"This Human Race force... Xiaochong remembers they can hardly save themselves. Staying with you might lead to a massacre by the Seven Sins Demon King!"

"Are you scared?"

GuaGua patted the large insect’s head, sounding wise beyond its years:

"History is written by the victors!"

"In the future Realm of Desire, the Big Tadpole will be the center of power. Both the Seven Sins and Seven Virtues will have to respect his opinion!"

"Big Tadpole?"

The street-smart Silver Bell Insect Saint followed GuaGua’s gaze, stealthily sizing up Ye Hanjun.

Based on visual observation, it was hard to judge his depth as he revealed nothing.

But... the creature hanging on his foot blinked its bloodshot, bulging eyes because it was being watched.

"Boom!"

It was as if the sky had fallen, leaving the dazed Silver Bell Insect Saint unable to distinguish north from south.

When it finally came to, it immediately lay prostrate on the ground, kowtowing frantically towards the three figures:

"I’ve seen three Upper Gods! Xiaochong wishes to follow the footsteps of the Upper Gods to fight against the Seven Sins Demon King!"

"Eh? I said so much with little effect."

"Just a leak of divine nature from the rag and you agreed. This change of face is too fast..."

GuaGua pouted, visibly irked.

Of course, its annoyance came quickly and left quickly.

As soon as Bana successfully contracted with the Silver Bell Insect Saint, making it the first saint of the Big Tadpole’s followers of equal rank.

It started jumping around excitedly, showing no signs of frustration.

...

Half a month later, in the Underground City of Wutie.

This ancient city, established during the Ninth Epoch of the Near Ancient Era, stretched tens of thousands of meters underground.

To this day, with its robust and concealed features, it remains a model of peaceful living.

The human inhabitants here are greatly relieved with the protection of numerous Guardian Saint Spirits.

Bana arrived without causing any stir, exceedingly discreet.

She did not casually reveal her tracks. After all, by her reckoning, she was surely a prime target for the Seven Deadly Sins Demon Clan.

Being betrayed by fellow humans or causing the places she passed through to suffer massacre was not a sight she wanted to witness.

"Get your buns! Fresh Bull Demon buns! So fragrant and sweet!"

"Ms. Shen, you look fabulous today. Ah, is this your daughter? She has grown up so lovely, it’s hard to tell which lucky fool will benefit..."

"Thump thump thump! A new round of Awakening ceremony is about to commence; please, all children over seventeen years unable to attain Active Awakening authority, proceed immediately to the Awakening Hall, Elder Shaman is waiting for you!"

...

Amid hundreds of competing sounds in his ear.

These noises, emanating from the people in the street, were all captured by Ye Hanjun as long as they were within his range of perception, not a single one missed.

At first, he heard normal conversation within human society, and his expression remained unchanged.

But as he listened, his ears perked up, and a hint of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

"Dad, I’ve joined the Grey Sun God Church!"

"Are you courting death, boy? The Seven Virtues can’t even withstand the Seven Sins’ wrath, and you join a cult, do you want to doom our family of five?"

In a dilapidated house on a street corner, through a crack in the window, an old and a young were talking.

At this moment, the elder one, unable to contain his anger, began to curse loudly.

However, the youth seemed to have anticipated this.

He let the elder finish his tirade, which somewhat eased his temperament, and then said solemnly:

"Dad, this isn’t a cult; this is the true path."

"The Grey Sun God is a True God who fell in ancient times; His strength is no less than that of the Seven Sins Demon God."

"It’s still unknown how His legacy suddenly entered our secluded Realm of Desire."

"But this is clearly good news. The Seven Virtues corresponding to Merciful Ancestor and the Grey Sun God Church corresponding to the Grey Sun God, with two great Human powers united, just thinking of contending against the Seven Sins Demon King? No no no, perhaps one day we might even strike back."

"Bang!"

The elder smashed a teacup, his frustration evident:

"Apan, don’t be deluded!"

"Your old dad has lived a lifetime, never heard of any Grey Sun God!"

"This must be because of the troubles the Seven Virtues are facing; some evildoers are causing chaos to squeeze the last nutrients from the Human Race, planning to drain us completely before leaving us to self-destruct!"

"No, Dad, it’s not like that!"

The young man stood up, arguing his case:

"I have seen the Left Protector of the Grey Sun God Church; she wore a garment of Fire, her head like a raging sun, merely extending a slender finger could incinerate the minions of the Seven Sins!"

"Moreover, she successfully saved ’Diligence’ among the Seven Virtues, which shows, the Seven Virtues and the Grey Sun God Church have been cooperating for a long time, just too covertly for the public to know. When the time is ripe, His people will surely sweep through the Realm of Desire like flames!"

"Whoosh~~~"

As their conversation continued, suddenly, in the shadows cast by a fallen lamp inside the house, two figures, a man and a woman, revealed themselves.

The young man called "Apan," caught off guard, swiftly reached for the Short Blade at his waist.

"Snap."

Ye Hanjun watched him with eyes focused. The hand froze mid-air, unable ever to touch the blade.
