Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1255: Chapter 1255: The Playboy Young Lady’s Forlorn Look

”But their abilities are ultimately limited. They can’t break through the limits of heaven and earth, and they can’t compare with the true gods. Unless they can comprehend the Divine Martial Battle Soul, they can break through these limits, become true gods, control the elements, and save all living beings.

Everything we do is to find such a person, to make him the strongest Guardian of the Gods, comprehend the Divine Martial Battle Soul, and become a true god,” Gong Hongru said, his gaze lingering on Han Yan’s face.

”Master, are you referring to me?” Han Yan’s heart was inexplicably excited.

Becoming the strongest Guardian of the Gods, or even a true god, is the dream of every Descendant of Divine Guardian, and Han Yan was no exception.

As for ordinary cultivators, they’ve never even heard of the Guardian of the Gods, let alone dreamed of it.

Of course, the gods mentioned here are not the ethereal gods of legend, but those who have reached the peak of cultivation, breaking the constraints of heaven and earth laws, capable of shattering the void and traversing planes, just like the Xingtian Girl and the even more powerful mysterious woman Han Yan saw in the illusion.

To be precise, the gods they speak of should actually be Martial Gods.

”Who else but you? Although your reputation isn’t great, the continent is in critical danger, and the other Guardians of the Gods aren’t as exceptional as you. So, you’re our only choice,” Gong Hongru said with a look of helplessness.

”Master, you know I was forced into this, people have put a knife to my neck, I can’t just stand still and be killed,” Han Yan said resentfully.

”Alright, alright, I know you’re forced. But leave some room for maneuver in your future actions, don’t be too conspicuous,” Gong Hongru said with a smile, seeing Lady Mu, the notorious playboy of Long Yan, looking so aggrieved.

Han Yan felt a wave of melancholy. She wanted to keep a low profile, but she had no choice. Others always bullied her, and she was not someone easy to bully, so she simply couldn’t stay out of the limelight.

Perhaps, this is the proverbial envy of talent. With this thought, Lady Mu felt much better.

”By the way, Master, how do you know the continent is in such grave danger?” Han Yan asked curiously, her mind switching tracks.

”You saw those Netherworld Beasts earlier, right? Jiang Yunhe, although he differs in ideology from us, is straightforward. He didn’t lie about one thing. Even if he doesn’t open the Gate of Netherworld, it will open eventually.

In fact, the space barrier between the Netherworld Prison and our Holy Court Continent has started collapsing. Once it completely collapses, the two Holy Continents will merge,” Gong Hongru said.

”Master, what exactly is the Jiuyou Netherworld? Also, its collapse, what does it have to do with our Holy Court Continent?” Han Yan was more confused the more she heard.

”The Jiuyou Netherworld, it’s said, is a place in another plane used by gods to imprison ferocious Netherworld Beasts.

A million years ago, during the breaking and separation of the Holy Continent, the Jiuyou Netherworld unexpectedly appeared, unleashing countless Netherworld Beasts, plunging the continent into chaos after a great calamity. At that time, the Guardians of the Gods fought valiantly but suffered terrible casualties, leaving only a few who couldn’t handle these Netherworld Beasts.

At a critical moment, people claiming to be the Divine Servant Clan descended from the sky, calling themselves servants of the gods, following the gods’ will to guard the Netherworld and protect billions of people.

However, these so-called Divine Servant Clan members weren’t as strong as they claimed, with abilities roughly comparable to the Guardians of the Gods. While they knew some magic skills to tame Netherworld Beasts, they were still at a loss against the tens of thousands of powerful Netherworld Beasts pouring out from the Netherworld.

Finally, by joining forces with the Guardians of the Gods, they drove the Netherworld Beasts back into the Netherworld and resealed it.

But although the Netherworld was temporarily sealed, according to the last words left by the Divine Servant Clan, the day will come when the sun and moon alternate, and heaven and earth reincarnate, and the Holy Continent will merge into one. When the two continents reunite, the laws will inevitably become chaotic, and the Netherworld will once again open.

So, the current shaking and cracking of the Netherworld seal is actually a precursor to the chaotic laws brought about by the integration of the continent.

After that battle, the last of the Guardians of the Gods also perished, and the Divine Servant Clan was wiped out, leaving only descendants to flourish on the Holy Court Continent. Although they call themselves the Divine Servant Clan, they have many similarities with the Guardians of the Gods and are often collectively referred to as the Guardians of the Gods, sometimes even referring to themselves as such.

However, their duties differ from other descendants of the Guardians of the Gods, and for the latter, the Divine Servant Clan was never truly part of the Holy Court Continent. In the beginning, both sides were amicable, but over time, conflicts arose, and as the years passed, their disagreements deepened.

Ten thousand years ago, a conflict erupted involving the entire Holy Court. After the battle, the once-cooperative Divine Servant Clan suffered immense casualties and vanished, seemingly extinct.

Everyone thought the Divine Servant Clan was extinct, but unexpectedly, they still have descendants who bravely stepped forward at this crucial moment,” Nangong Jingyuan said with a sigh.

To solve the mystery in Han Yan’s heart, he straightforwardly explained the grievances between the Holy Court Continent and the Divine Servant Clan.

Only then did Han Yan understand why he spared Jiang Yunhe and others, as there were deeper entanglements involved. Thinking of the Guardians of the Gods and the Divine Servant Clan, who once fought side by side for the continent’s safety, but whose descendants resorted to fratricide, almost leading to the extinction of one side, Han Yan sighed deeply.

Yet, thinking of Jiang Qiling, an enemy admired and possibly a friend, Han Yan felt somewhat reassured, grateful that the Divine Servant Clan wasn’t malevolent, nor were they irreconcilable foes.

”So, what needs to be done to avert this calamity?” Han Yan asked.

”Enhance your power, become the strongest Guardian of the Gods, and comprehend the Divine Martial Battle Soul,” Gong Hongru said, looking at Han Yan with expectation.

”So, what exactly should I do?” Han Yan pressed on.

Although she aspired to what Gong Hongru suggested, gaining power isn’t achieved just by wishful thinking. Her current abilities were commendable, and reaching the Sword Saint level was just a matter of time, yet comprehending the Divine Martial Battle Soul seemed elusive to her.

”First, go to Shangyue Country and acquire the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate passed down in Shangyue Country’s ancestry,” Gong Hongru directed.
