Inside the King's Treasury.

Yellow sand filled the air, and all around was a desolate desert. Occasionally, streaks of light would suddenly appear from the sand and chase each other.

On a sand dune, Han Shaoyun stood on the soft yellow sand, observing his surroundings.

But inside was a desolate desert, with no sign of human habitation.

"The Celestial Venerable said that there is a town within the [King's Treasury] where the three Sumerian gods are worshipped, but where is that town?"

Han Shaoyun continued walking, looking around with a blank expression on his face.

His mission here was to slay the three Sumerian gods who had fallen from their divine realm and to use the [All Things - The Law of the End] to control the King's Treasury.

Although he didn't know Jiang Ye's purpose in doing this, he could vaguely sense it from the conversation.

Jiang Ye seems to want certain people to be in the [King's Treasury].

Han Shaoyun shook his head. He had no right to question Jiang Ye's motives; he just needed to do what he was supposed to do.

He continued forward, and with the blessing of the Myriad Manifestations Divine Ruins, his speed was astonishing.

Ok?

But soon, Han Shaoyun sensed something was wrong, as if something was following him.

He turned around abruptly and saw a pair of gleaming boots following behind him.

"This is... a divine artifact."

As Han Shaoyun was thinking, several metallic clanging sounds suddenly came from around him.

His senses swept over him, and his brows slowly furrowed.

One by one, the magical artifacts seemed to have their own consciousness, flying out of the yellow sand and heading towards him.

Swords, spears, clubs... all sorts of divine weapons, gleaming with divine power, flew in at lightning speed.

Han Shaoyun's gaze sharpened slightly, and with a gentle flick of his silver-white halberd, he deflected an incoming longsword.

Then, he moved to the right, dodging an attack from a fiery red spear.

"All Things Concealed!"

After a brief observation, Han Shaoyun realized that these divine artifacts could lock onto his aura, so he decisively used the Myriad Manifestations Divine Ruins to conceal himself.

The effect was immediate; the artifact, possessing its own consciousness, spun in mid-air, as if searching for something.

Eventually, they burrowed back into the yellow sand, and the desert returned to calm.

Han Shaoyun breathed a sigh of relief; he couldn't afford to overexert himself on these divine artifacts.

After all, the enemies he was about to face were three gods from Sumerian mythology.

Even if they fall from the divine realm, they may still be easy to deal with.

He concealed his presence and continued walking into the distance.

After walking for about ten minutes, a fortress-like city appeared in the distance.

After repeatedly confirming that it was not a mirage, Han Shaoyun smiled.

Two minutes later, Han Shaoyun stealthily arrived at the foot of the town and sensed that the guards at the gate were all ordinary people.

But everyone possesses a seemingly extraordinary artifact.

stomping on...

At that moment, footsteps sounded from inside the city gate, and a general in armor walked out, and the gate guards saluted.

"Recently, outsiders have broken in. The city lord has issued a notice that once an outsider is discovered, he should be immediately arrested and imprisoned, and those who resist should be killed without mercy."

"Understood!" the gatekeepers replied immediately.

The general nodded slightly and waved his hand. Behind him, a dozen soldiers wearing heavy armor stood in front of the city gate.

The general nodded in satisfaction and walked into the city.

"This is the first time in all these years that outsiders have broken into this place. It seems that the location of the treasure vault has been discovered by outsiders."

"So what? Didn't a dozen or so outsiders cause trouble in the city yesterday? The city lord can catch them in no time with his [King's Scepter]."

"Yes, I heard that this afternoon they're going to offer those outsiders as sacrifices to the three gods."

“They deserved it. They even killed little girls. Such heinous criminals deserve to be baptized by the three gods.”

"..."

Han Shaoyun hid behind the soldiers, listening to their discussion.

His eyes lit up slightly when he heard the words "Three Gods".

These 'three gods' should be the three Sumerian gods that Jiang Ye mentioned.

After listening for a while longer, Han Shaoyun, having not yet obtained a position among the Three Gods, walked into the city with some regret.

When he's invisible, entering a city is a piece of cake for him.

"This town may seem to be full of ordinary people, but the magical artifacts they wield are no joke."

"Disguise yourself as a resident here and find out the location of the 'Three Gods' first."

Han Shaoyun glanced at the passing residents and walked into a secluded alley.

At this moment, outside the city gate.

In the nearby woods, four heads slowly emerged from the trees.

The silver-haired girl pressed her earpiece and looked at Lin Qiye and the other two, saying, "According to their conversation through the listening device, someone had already gotten in first, but they've already been caught."

“These indigenous people may look like ordinary people, but they are not to be trifled with.”

Jinian pointed to the weapons in the soldiers' hands, "Look, they're holding divine artifacts, six pseudo-divine artifacts and two divine artifacts at the level of main gods."

As he spoke, Jinian's eyes began to shine. "Wow! It's so incredibly luxurious. No wonder it's the treasure trove of the fifth king of Uruk."

Lin Qiye, An Qingyu, and Jiang Er couldn't help but twitch their lips when they saw the longing look in Ji Nian's eyes.

"Captain, Qingyu, I have a feeling we've stumbled into a den of thieves?" Jiang Er whispered.

An Qingyu pushed up her glasses. "Get rid of the feeling."

Lin Qiye glanced at Ji Nian speechlessly, "Then how do we get in?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Nian wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and took out four very simple clothes.

"Before coming here, I studied the clothing style of the people of Uruk. We disguised ourselves as local residents to blend in."

An Qingyu shook her head. "This town isn't very big, and there aren't many residents. What if these soldiers ask about our identities?"

Ji Nian raised an eyebrow and pulled out a few flashbangs. "Just make sure they can't see them."

"Actually, if I didn't care about your safety, I would have just used this to blow you up."

As she spoke, she pulled out a planet-destroying cannon that was even bigger than her.

Lin Qiye and his two companions were stunned. Damn it! Bandits, it's confirmed.

……

In the city center, at the altar of the three gods.

A blood-red ancient well exudes a terrifying aura.

Beneath the ancient well, three figures, motionless like stone statues, slowly opened their eyes.

“Another outsider has intruded here. It seems we’re almost full of offerings for the Holy Grail,” one of the stone statues in the middle said in a deep voice.

clack clack...

Then, the rubble on the statue's arm fell off, and the dusty hand slowly lifted a mysterious, dark golden goblet.

The cup contained incredibly viscous blood, which swirled within it, though the blood only filled about half the size of the Holy Grail.

“Nanna, the new outsider, is not simple!” The God of Fire, Gibir, looked at the sky outside the ancient well and slowly frowned.

The moon goddess Nanna smiled slightly, "This afternoon, those foolish people of Uruk will bring those dozen or so offerings."

"By then, the offerings from the Holy Grail will be enough for us to restore our divine status."

"They're just a bunch of humans, what's there to fear?"

Inanna, the goddess of war, frowned slightly. "Inanna, don't forget what we're going to do with the Holy Grail!"

“I know, once we recover our divine state, finding sacrifices won’t be difficult,” said the moon goddess Nanna slowly. “We will bring Sumerian mythology back to the world.”

The god of fire, Gibir, and the goddess of war exchanged a glance and could only nod.
