485: Check your body

When Xu Sanyan finally tore open the secret realm fruit and emerged, his expression suddenly froze. He looked at the gray mist floating beside him with some surprise.

"The mist has spread even to here?"

After causing a ruckus in the capital city, he didn't choose to return to the Demonic Sect. Instead, he found a deserted mountain to heal his injuries before entering the secret realm fruit.

This deserted mountain wasn't too far from the capital city, about three thousand li. How could it have spread so quickly in just a few days?

If this place was also encroached upon by the mist, it meant that two-fifths of the entire Gan Country was already occupied, leaving less and less space for the Human Race to live.

However, this had nothing to do with him; he wasn't the emperor.

Xu Sanyan pulled out the dog god skeleton, only to find that he had already dismantled it into countless pieces. The ten fingers were no longer connected, but they could still slowly wriggle, like an earthworm cut into two segments.

Next, he took out a piece of precious jade. Its emerald surface was covered with white patterns, and when viewed in the light, it looked like layers of swirling clouds, truly wondrous.

This jade was precisely the "god" worshipped by the Jade Clan. The Jade Clan people could obtain power through sacrifice, similar to the Dog Clan's method. Xu Sanyan was very curious, so he negotiated to 'borrow' it for research, but he still hadn't figured out its principle.

He had more than just these two items in his hand; there were also "gods" from other tribes. Xu Sanyan took them all out in one go, arranging them in a row.

The Stone Clan's god was a shriveled human skin, impervious to swords and blades, quite extraordinary.

And the god worshipped by the Eagle Clan was a pair of "living" eyeballs, which could even move.

The most miraculous, however, was the god worshipped by the Blood-Flesh Giant clan from beyond the mountains—a piece of rotten flesh!

The rotten flesh was about two palm-sized, its surface black and festering; even a stray dog on the roadside might not eat it. Yet, upon careful sensing, that piece of meat was still pulsating!

Looking at this pile of scattered parts, Xu Sanyan raised an eyebrow slightly, as if he had discovered something. He picked up the two eyeballs and placed them into the eye sockets of the dog god skeleton, hoping they would bring him some unexpected surprise.

Whoosh—

As expected, as soon as the eyeballs were placed into the sockets, they began to spin violently. For a brief moment, it was as if a connection was made; the eyeballs stopped moving, and their distinct black and white pupils slowly turned to look at Xu Sanyan, as if appraising him.

"Hiss~"

"It's alive?"

Xu Sanyan gasped, drawing a cold breath. It was dismembered, yet it could still be alive?

Then, his gaze slowly moved down the skeleton, pausing for a moment at the hip bone, before he suddenly asked,

"Are you male or female?"

He truly didn't know much about this aspect. He only knew that the male part had no bones, so it was difficult to distinguish based solely on that.

The dog god didn't react, either not understanding or simply choosing to ignore him.

Xu Sanyan wasn't discouraged. He picked up the bones he had dismantled into pieces and reassembled them in order. The dog god tried to move its fingers; they were very smooth.

As for whether the bones were assembled incorrectly, it didn't matter; as long as they were put together.

After placing the eyeballs into the sockets, this skeleton no longer seemed so rigid. It gained a hint of intelligence and no longer dared to attack Xu Sanyan, as if it knew it couldn't defeat him.

So, its previous attack on him... was because it was blind?

Xu Sanyan smiled, feeling very humorous. Any girl who married him in the future would be blessed and would never be lonely.

"Whoosh~"

Xu Sanyan picked up the human skin and shook it a few times, examining both sides, then gently draped it over the skeleton. Instantly, the skin tightened, binding itself firmly to the bones, making its appearance even more terrifying, but at least it looked somewhat human.

As for this last piece of rotten flesh...

It must be the heart, no doubt.

"I hope you are a woman. If you have no other way to repay me, you can offer yourself to me. It wouldn't be in vain for me to save your life."

Xu Sanyan muttered to himself, casually inserting the rotten flesh into its heart.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

The pulsation gradually quickened. The black rotten flesh was turning red at a visible speed. Streaks of blood vessels extended from all parts of the rotten flesh, spreading along the gaps between the bones and skin, covering the entire body. Essence blood flowed through the blood vessels, and the shriveled skin actually began to plump up.

It... it was truly coming alive!

What kind of tenacious life force was this?

No, it wasn't just tenacious life force. It should be that the arrangements within the Secret Realm had taken effect, with each tribe separately nurturing a body part, maintaining its vitality, which led to today's outcome.

But what was the purpose of this Jade Clan jade tablet?

Xu Sanyan thought for a moment, then stuffed it into the dog god's mouth. It should know how to use it itself.

Indeed, as soon as the jade tablet entered its mouth, it transformed into a stream of light and drilled into the body. The dog god's eyeballs began to twitch violently, becoming more spirited in a trance, like a lifelike puppet gaining consciousness.

"Boom~!"

Suddenly, a tremendous roar came from heaven and earth. Xu Sanyan turned his head to look. The gray mist in the distance vibrated, as if some colossal creature was fighting and struggling.

Xu Sanyan frowned slightly, his eyes gleaming. His gaze pierced through layers of thin mist, vaguely discerning a towering figure struggling wildly. Its flayed flesh was half red and half white, a sight very familiar to him.

"Blood-Flesh Giant?"

What a coincidence?

"Awoo~"

The giant roar transformed into sound waves that spread in all directions, causing the thick mist to churn endlessly. The Blood-Flesh Giant moved towards him. As it got closer, Xu Sanyan finally saw what it was fighting.

A person.

Xu Sanyan narrowed his eyes. This Blood-Flesh Giant was quite powerful. When it first appeared, it already had the strength of a Half-Saint. Coupled with its ability to devour flesh and blood to increase its strength, just looking at its size, it was much larger than before, and its strength should have also increased.

And that human figure, able to fight it back and forth, even subtly gaining the upper hand, must be one of the Saints from Middle State. He just didn't know which one.

The Blood-Flesh Giant was clearly about to give out, but that Saint seemed unwilling to prolong the fight, moving towards the edge of the Mist Sea while battling.

"Ho~ Ho~"

At this moment, a muffled coughing sound came from beside him, as if something was lodged in its throat. Xu Sanyan turned his head to glance, and his eyes immediately lit up. His efforts hadn't been in vain.

The dog god's previously shriveled body had completely recovered, becoming no different from a normal person. Two protruding mounds of flesh rested on her flat abdomen, which was sufficient proof of her gender.

Her small face was still filled with confusion and blankness, likely due to some discomfort from just coming alive. But this appearance was indeed quite good; her small mouth was rosy and full, and her eye sockets had also plumped up to encase her eyeballs, no longer as terrifying as before.

It was just that not having hair looked strange, like a nun in a temple. And not only was there no hair...

Xu Sanyan's gaze flickered downwards.

So clean.

"Where is this...?"

The woman spoke in confusion, her gaze sweeping around before finally landing on Xu Sanyan. "And who are you?"

"Hmm..."

Xu Sanyan tilted his head and thought for a moment. "This is Middle State, part of Gan Country's territory. I am your godfather."

He saved her life, like a reborn parent. Calling himself godfather wasn't too much, was it?

The girl was puzzled. "Godfather?"

"Ay, come, godfather will help you check your body."

"Giggle giggle~"

A soft laugh came from not far away, followed by a lazy voice from a young woman,

"You're so naughty."
