"Instakill, take care, we’ll be waiting for your return," Overlord patted Huang Yi on the shoulder, his murky eyes looking at Huang Yi as if an old man was encouraging a young one.
Huang Yi nodded, "Let’s go. Leave so people to guard the entrance of this treasure spot. When we get back, have Little Riddler arrange for so Array Masters to co over and construct a Teleportation Circle, creating a direct connection to Dragon City."
Next, the group started retracing their steps back the way they ca, erging from the treasure spot. After leaving a few to stand guard, they all headed towards a nearby city nad "Red River City."
Upon reaching the city, Huang Yi separated from the group, not using the teleportation to return to Dragon City.
At that mont, the bright moonlight shone down, carrying with it faint, colored starlight, breathtakingly beautiful. Red River City was about the sa size as Dragon City, with a population of around one million—a fairly large city with bustling streets. Huang Yi walked calmly among the crowd, heading towards the auction house of Red River City.
"Sir, may I help you with anything?" Upon arriving at the auction house, a ssenger imdiately approached Huang Yi.
"Fetch your best Enlightener; I have a treasure that needs his appraisal," Huang Yi said, producing a purple card.
This was the most distinguished Purple Diamond Card from the auction houses across the continent, given to him by Qian Zhe, the person in charge of the Tiantai City auction house, allowing him to receive the most heartfelt service in any auction house of any city.
"Ah! Please, esteed guest," The attendant, upon seeing the Purple Diamond Card, imdiately beca extrely respectful, instinctively bowing his head and leading Huang Yi forward.
"Sir, please wait a mont, I will call our best Enlightener right away," the attendant said after taking Huang Yi to the VIP hall, then promptly left the room.
Huang Yi found a seat, took out the "Continent Guardian’s Order" he had just obtained from the treasure spot, and gently felt it in his hands.
A sense of profound historical weight emanated from it, as if it were bridging the vast expanses of history and ti.
rely by its na, this token was extraordinary, and even the White Dragon King had said that Thunder King Leizes was the guardian of this continent ten thousand years ago.
Huang Yi had heard of "Guardians" before; the Egyptian leader player—the Pharaoh—was the world’s first player Guardian, having encountered a stroke of fortune to beco the Guardian of the Egyptian continent, triggering a system announcent.
Guardians receive certain Attribute Bonuses on their continent, and a Guardian possesses a very special ability—they can rena the continent.
So far, only the Pharaoh has obtained the status of a Guardian, and he renad the exclusive Egyptian continent to the Pharaoh Continent. This has been recognized by the system, and official system announcents refer to it as the Pharaoh Continent, conferring upon the Pharaoh unprecedented and soaring honor. To have a country’s exclusive continent nad after a single individual—such honor is truly supre.
Huang Yi did not know whether this Continent Guardian’s Order and the type of Guardian possessed by the Pharaoh were the sa concept; he would only be able to find out after the Enlightener had done the Auspicious Light.
"Squeak!" Just then, the door of the VIP hall opened, and an old man with crystal glasses ca in, around fifty years old, full of energy, his eyes bright and piercing.
Seeing Huang Yi, the old man imdiately said respectfully, "Esteed guest, I am Rayte, the chief Enlightennt Appraiser of the Red Water City auction house. May I be of service to you?"
"Please Auspicious Light this token for !" Huang Yi spoke, lifting the token in his hand towards Rayte.
Rayte stepped forward and took the token from Huang Yi’s hand. Upon seeing the words "Continent Guardian’s Order" inscribed on it, his pupils shrank, and he gasped in astonishnt, "It’s actually a Continent Guardian’s Order! We haven’t seen such a thing on this continent for ten thousand years!"
"Yes! It’s the Continent Guardian’s Spirit, please perform the Auspicious Light," Huang Yi nodded and responded.
Rayte carefully felt the token, experiencing its unique aura, and slowly closed his eyes, as if savoring the sensation.
"This will be the top-level item I’ve ever enlightened," After a while, excited, Rayte exclaid and swiped at the token, a beam of light imdiately entered into it.
Suddenly, the token burst forth with brilliant light! The light was golden yellow, filled with a sense of nobility, it illuminated the entire VIP room and seed to lend it an air of brilliance.
When the light faded, the once unremarkable token had transford significantly; it had beco a token shining with golden light, looking as if it had been cast from pure gold, resembling sothing from the Royal Family. The bold characters on it were exquisitely done, clearly crafted with great care.
Huang Yi reached out to take the newly transford token and examined it with anticipation—
[Continent Guardian’s Order] (Special Item)
Upon use, may take the place of Thunder King Leizes as the new Guardian of this continent.
This token could indeed, like the Pharaoh, make one the revered Guardian of a country!
Guardians possess so suprely privileged rights, even the power to rena an entire continent!
For a continent, being a Guardian is the highest honor. Other titles, such as city lord or king, are regional and lose their significance once one leaves that region. However, the identity of a Continent Guardian is universally recognized across the entire continent, allowing them to possess special privileges everywhere.
"It seems our continent is about to welco a new Guardian," Rayte said, looking at Huang Yi with a gaze full of disbelief, never expecting to witness such a historic mont.
As Huang Yi caressed the Continent Guardian’s Order in his hand, he pondered his next step. Once he used this token, he would beco a Guardian player like the Pharaoh, responsible for protecting this land and possessing so privileges.
Recently, marked by the Sun Guild’s construction of a deep-sea battleship, the world had entered the era of intercontinental travel. Surely many foreign players would co to this continent in the future, and conflicts between continents would slowly arise. His timing as a Guardian couldn’t be more perfect.
"Respected guest, please use the Continent Guardian’s Order imdiately!" Rayte urged, watching Huang Yi with anticipation.
"Hmm, but before that, I need to leave the Guild," Huang Yi said as he imdiately opened the highest Guild permissions, handed over the position of Guild President to Qin Shiyu, and chose to quit the Hero Guild.
He had created this Guild himself, and most of its high-ranking mbers had been promoted directly by him. Dragon City, the port, Earth Dragon Valley, Wind Capital, the Energy Factory—all these industries were there because of him. To the Hero Guild, he had given his all, but due to the Half-Beast Race’s order to kill him, he had to leave the Hero Guild in a sorry state to prevent over ten million Guild mbers from being implicated.
At that mont, a voice resounded between heaven and earth—
[Continent Announcent]: [God of Slaughter] has resigned from the role of Guild President and has left the Hero Guild.
This was a continent-wide announcent. The Hero Guild was one of the top ten Guilds on the continent, and Huang Yi was a renowned figure. His action of stepping down as Guild President was a major Guild event, so the system released a continent-wide announcent, informing all Chinese players.
It was night ti, the peak hour for players to be online, and more than a billion Chinese players heard this announcent.
At that mont, everyone was slightly taken aback!
This was the first ti in The Second World that a founder had left their own Guild!
Previously, even when Dao Feng retired, he had not chosen to leave the Xuanyuan Guild. He simply handed over the position of Guild President to Yun Sihai and remained a mber of the Xuanyuan Guild; he simply no longer participated in any affairs.
Now, Huang Yi had made an even bolder move by completely leaving the Hero Guild.
"Haha! Instakill is finally scared. He probably fears that the Celestial Realm Experts will co after him and involve the Hero Guild, so he left it," soone speculated.
"I’ve always said it, opposing our Half-Beast Race leads to no good end! Even if you are the God of Slaughter, you still have to bow your head in front of our Celestial Realm Experts!"
"That being said, Instakill still has so integrity, choosing to bear it alone rather than letting the Guild suffer losses."
"It’s not necessarily true. It could be that everyone in the Hero Guild despised him, fearing he would drag down the Guild, so they ostracized and kicked him out!"
For a ti, the entire continent was abuzz with various speculations about Huang Yi’s departure from the Hero Guild.
But there was one thing everyone guessed correctly—that this matter was directly related to the pursuit of the Celestial Realm Experts!
In so sense, Huang Yi appeared rather embarrassed and weak this ti, as if he had been forced out of his ho, his forr unstoppable montum experiencing its first setback.
"What? Are you God of Slaughter?" At that mont, Rayte stared at Huang Yi, startled!
He only knew before that Huang Yi was a Purple Diamond Card guest, but the specifics of his identity were unknown to him. Now, hearing this announcent, he realized Huang Yi was the God of Slaughter, the man recently hunted by the Half-Beast Holy Land!
"You obtaining this Continent Guardian’s Order really couldn’t be better tid," Rayte remarked to Huang Yi, expressing his thoughts, "The identity of a Continent Guardian cos with so privileges, which will be of great help to you in this chase."
"Is that so? Let’s try it and find out," said Huang Yi, and he imdiately chose to use the [Continent Guardian’s Order].
In an instant, the golden token burst into brilliant light and turned into a dazzling golden ray that entered Huang Yi’s body.
At once, Huang Yi felt a surge of strength within him, seemingly connecting him to the land beneath his feet. As his feet touched the ground, he could feel the earth’s vast solidity and sense of belonging.
