Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 687 - 639 Congratulations on Obtaining the World Destruction God

...

No sky, no earth, various kinds of debris floating all around, suspended in silence like a meteorite belt in this void of the universe.

Within the debris belt, white ships with green lamps move slowly. The dark ships are made of white bones, and the green lamps are a kind of firefly.

There are "people" on the white ships; their upper bodies are covered with smooth skin scales, resembling the legendary Merfolk. They hold objects similar to fishing poles, capturing the rich debris quickly floating past them...

"What bad luck, all day I've only caught some rock minerals. The price of this stuff in the royal city is getting lower, it's not enough for a clean meal." said a Red Scale person.

"The Prophet calculated, the harvest season is coming. As long as we work diligently, we can achieve great harvests, maybe enough for comfort for the rest of our lives." said the White Scale person.

"Grandpa, where do these things come from? Why do the food we need, the energy we require, the weapons we desire, the livestock we want all drift into our kingdom every once in a while?" a young scale person asked.

This young scale person also held a small fishing pole, but his was a toy, without the strength to catch the supplies darting through the debris belt.

"We're now in the Holy River, no one has reached the source of the Holy River. You only need to remember the seasons we taught you, for when the season comes, the Holy River might drift some mysterious supplies, and that's when our sight and ability are tested. You need to quickly make judgments like grandpa, deducing what those swiftly passing mysterious items are. If it's a Divine Stone with immense spiritual energy, perhaps you can transform and become a Holy River Guard, admired by all citizens of the royal city." said the White Scale elderly.

"Is everything in the Holy River, like the comb scales I want, or perhaps a little pet to accompany me to sleep?" the young scale person asked.

"Everything is possible, as long as you are sincere, as long as you feel the temperament of the Holy River well."

"Stop babbling, old one! Our old neighbor already caught a Divine Pine, its wood can be made into beds that provide young people with ample energy, hurry and work, I've spent a fortune buying the information from the Prophet that soon there will be a flow of energy-laden mysterious items from upstream of the Holy River, we'll be prosperous!"

The strong and sturdy Red Scale person is the main force on this white ship.

The Holy River always brings mysterious items, and the Scale People Clan generations have relied on fishing these mysterious items for survival. The Holy River is vast enough to sustain billions of scale people, a radiant sun providing life to all things.

"I caught something!" suddenly exclaimed the young Blue Scale person excitedly.

The old and adult scale people didn't pay much attention, knowing the child's item was a toy, incapable of truly capturing those swiftly drifting mysterious blocks.

"It's alive!" the young Blue Scale person exclaimed excitedly, using all his Qi to drag the mysterious thing towards their ship.

"What is this thing?" the elderly White Scale person came closer, examining this living entity with curiosity.

The living entity overall resembles them, scale people, except its skin is completely smooth, smooth to a creepy extent. This thing's face and neck are completely closed, a single sheet of skin despite some facial orifices, all very tiny and hideous.

"It actually has two legs, how amazing," the young Blue Scale person said.

"Indeed rare, without claws or fangs, seemingly lacking toxin organs, then you can keep it as a pet, but you must tether it," the elderly White Scale person kindly advised.

"Thank you, grandpa."

"This thing doesn't appear strong, I heard someone caught a giant and mighty creature, with wings, breathing fire, raised into a mount for the Holy River Guards, very majestic, but this thing is smaller than our kids, likely only suited as a pet."

"Just keep it for the child to play."

...

The young Blue Scale person was very happy, never expecting truly to gain a pet to play with, having lacked companionship since childhood while adults were busy fishing the Holy River.

"Can you make sounds?" the young Blue Scale person asked.

"I can speak."

"You actually know our language, so wonderful." The young Blue Scale person, happy, spread wide his fish fin face, a smile for their scale people, "From today onwards you're my pet, I should give you a name."

"You don't need to name me; I am called Wu Hen, and I come to take you all." Wu Hen calmly informed the Blue Scale person.

"Hahaha, you're arrogant; I could smash you to a pulp with one claw." the young Blue Scale person retorted.

Even as a child in the Scale People Clan, its body was several times Wu Hen's, its whole claw capable of thoroughly grasping him.

During this dialogue, countless beings with shimmering Imperial Scales appeared in the myth-filled debris of the Holy River, forming a large-scale army, gathering terrifyingly toward this place.

Soon encircled from all directions, the young Blue Scale person glanced around, recognizing these grandeur-scaled adults, the most revered Holy River Guards of the kingdom.

The Holy River continuously floats the necessary supplies for their kingdom, but also drifts some fierce, hostile monsters. Such creatures attack them, killing scale people like them fishing, hence the Holy River Guards must intervene, killing these upstream drifting monsters for peaceful survival.

The young Blue Scale person was bewildered, aware of catching scary monsters among living items, yet this pet seemed wholly harmless.

"We haven't violated any rules, always fishing within your designated areas." the elderly White Scale person nervously stated, never having witnessed such a grand scene.

It felt as though the entire kingdom's Holy River Guards gathered here, leaving not a gap in this vast space.

The Holy River Guards formed a Heavenly Array, towering like stacked Heavenly Mountains, intensely cold with brutal killing intent, seemingly mandated by some decree to eradicate the anomaly invading their world, even though the leader of the Holy River Guards didn't know what this anomaly was, he received this divine mandate!

"You...what are you?" finally, the young Blue Scale person felt a tinge of fear, questioning the pet he just caught.

"Congratulations, child. You have caught a World Destruction God!" Wu Hen laughed, laughter sinisterly!
