Swish!

A streak of light flashed, and before Tali could react, the divine bow in her hand had vanished.

Gu Tianchen played with the divine bow in his hand, smiled, and looked at Tali, asking, "This bow is quite nice. What's it called?"

Seeing that Gu Tianchen had snatched her divine bow, Tali was not panicked, but rather somewhat smug.

Snapped!

With a light snap of her fingers, Tali's divine bow suddenly transformed into countless star-shaped bowstrings, binding Gu Tianchen like a dumpling under the dazzling starry sky.

"Heh, stealing everything will only get you hurt."

Gu Tianchen tried to struggle a few times but failed. Unless he unleashed his full power and revealed his true form as an Earth Witch, he could not break free from the restraints with his current strength.

However, Gu Tianchen was in no hurry to break free. In any case, this divine artifact had transformed into countless stars that trapped him. With his powerful body at the fifth level of Xuan Gong, a defenseless little girl could not harm him.

"Impressive! You can even use the power of the stars to create a bowstring to bind your enemy, but your binding technique doesn't seem very good..."

“I have a friend who’s really good at tying people up. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll introduce you to him,” Gu Tianchen said with a smile.

Tali coldly demanded, "Stop grinning and tell me, how did you sneak in?!"

“As I said, I am a half-friend of your King Gigi. I am here to help you because other Outer Gods have their eyes on your artifacts.”

"Hmph, you can't even make up a lie. You look only a few years older than me, how could you possibly be a friend of our king?"

“Besides, our king has already…” A hint of sadness appeared in Tali’s eyes.

“He’s not dead,” Gu Tianchen said seriously.

"What?! What did you say?!" Tali looked at Gu Tianchen in shock.

"Your hero king didn't die, or rather, he received help from a benefactor in some hospital and was resurrected after watching an advertisement..."

"If it weren't for his help, do you think we could have broken through that divine tortoise's defenses and entered the inner space of the King's Treasure Vault?" Gu Tianchen asked rhetorically.

"Hmph, Father said that you foreigners are the best at lying."

"You must have used some kind of trick to get past the outside defenses and sneak in."

“We have guarded Uruk for generations, protecting the artifacts for our king. You foreigners will not take away the treasures left behind by our king.”

"May the seven gods protect us!" Tali prayed fervently.

"Tsk, why can't I get through to a little girl like you? Wait a minute..."

Gu Tianchen seemed to have grasped some crucial information, and looked at Tali with a shocked expression, asking, "What did you just say?"

"We have guarded this place for generations..."

"Next sentence!"

Tali thought for a moment, then tilted her head and tentatively asked, "May the Seven Gods protect us... Is there a problem?"

"Seven Gods? Not three? How did it become seven? Little girl, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Gu Tianchen asked.

"You're talking nonsense! We've worshipped the Seven Gods for generations, how could we be wrong? If you dare to disrespect our King and the Seven Gods again, I'll take you back and sacrifice you to them!" Tali threatened fiercely.

Gu Tianchen frowned. The once-declining Sumerian pantheon had gone from three gods to seven, indicating that something had happened.

The gods cannot enter the King's Treasury; it contains the Seven Sumerian Gods, and outside there are those two Olympians. Beset by internal and external troubles, this time things are going to be difficult...

Gu Tianchen silently prayed in his heart, wishing that all his godfathers would bless them!

"Little girl..."

"My name is Tali!"

"Alright, little girl, you just said you were going to sacrifice me to the Seven Gods, right? Come on, I love being sacrificed." Gu Tianchen said with a smile.

If I remember correctly, the Holy Grail, one of the four supreme artifacts of the Royal Treasury, is located in the ancient well that was sacrificed.

If you can get the King's Grail first, you can wish to kill the Seven Gods.

Tali looked at Gu Tianchen in disbelief. "What's wrong with you? Who likes being sacrificed?"

Gu Tianchen explained with a smile, "You don't know, I just like to be passive."

Tali couldn't be bothered with this seemingly crazy guy. If it weren't for the fact that he had just saved her, she would have shot him dead with an arrow long ago.

"I have important matters to attend to right now and don't have time to deal with you. But when I return to Uruk, I will definitely offer you as a sacrifice to the Seven Gods!"

Tali, holding the bowstring of the Starry Sky, pulled Gu Tianchen along in the direction the stars indicated.

"Why aren't you going back to Uruk City? What are you doing in this vast desert?" Gu Tianchen asked.

"None of your business!" Tali said irritably.

Looking at the little girl's curious expression, it seemed she was searching for something.

With a thought, Gu Tianchen summoned Hongyan and Canggou beneath the desert, who activated their Absolute Earth Domain to search the entire desert.

The King's Treasury is not a large space. Using the mental power range of the two Klein-level dragon kings to search the desert, they quickly discovered the artifact that had been left behind in the desert.

A desert ship that can sail across the desert like a boat on water, a Dionysus jug that loves to watch men dance and from which flows sweet wine, and...

Upon receiving the feedback from Hongyan, Gu Tianchen's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Tali and asked, "I have a divination, young lady, are you looking for a divine artifact that was lost in the desert?"

Tali, whose thoughts had been exposed by Gu Tianchen, looked at him in shock, then quickly avoided his gaze to hide her shock and panic.

"I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."

"Alright, since you're not here to find that divine artifact, then keep wandering around like a headless fly," Gu Tianchen said with a shrug.

Tali pulled Gu Tianchen along as they continued their aimless wandering in the desert.

"It's veering off course, turn right."

Tali obediently turned around.

"It's veering off course again, a little more to the left."

"Oh."

Tali's body language was very honest; she kept adjusting in the direction Gu Tianchen gave her.

Wait a minute, who's controlling whom?

I feel like I'm the one who's tied up...

Is that correct?

Tali turned around, about to retort, when she noticed Gu Tianchen smiling and gesturing behind her, indicating that she should look over there.

Chapter 441 The King's Sword

The little girl looked in the direction Gu Tianchen pointed, where a sword inlaid with dazzling gems and incredibly sharp was stuck diagonally in the desert.

The King's Sword!

They really found it?!

Tali rushed over excitedly.

The Sword of the King is a supreme artifact forged by Gilgamesh using a corner of the laws of kingship. Even a mortal wielding this sword can slay a god!

Tali stepped forward, preparing to pull out the King's Sword stuck in the desert, when a blazing fireball flew from behind her.

Swish!

The Star Bowstring that had been binding Gu Tianchen sensed that its master was in danger and instantly broke free of its seal, rushing towards Tali.

boom!

A violent explosion rang out, kicking up billowing smoke and dust.

"Cough cough cough..."

Tali coughed a few times, covered in dust, and emerged from the smoke and dust carrying the divine bow. Upon seeing Gu Tianchen, she did not hesitate at all and raised the divine bow in her hand!

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Gu Tianchen quickly raised his hands, his movements so practiced it was almost heartbreaking.

"There are only the two of us here. Who else could have caused the explosion besides you?" Tali questioned coldly.

"It wasn't me, it really wasn't me," Gu Tianchen said earnestly.

"Stop making excuses! You must be trying to steal my king's sword. None of you foreigners are any good!" Tali said righteously.

Gu Tianchen shook his head and sighed, saying, "Alas, Eunuch Shen is right. Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain."

boom!

Amidst the smoke and dust, another blazing fireball hurtled towards the two of them.

Tali fired an arrow, and the moisture in the air quickly condensed into an icy arrow, which shattered the blazing fireball.

"Who?!"

A tall figure with dark skin, wearing a golden divine robe, emerged from the smoke and dust.

"It's you?!"

Upon seeing the other person, both Gu Tianchen and the other person exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

The person who arrived was none other than Bifitu, the agent of the 30th Sun God Ra.

"Number 39, what are you doing here? I remember you disappeared after I came out." Bifetu looked at Gu Tianchen with a puzzled expression.

Gu Tianchen said, "I got the clues about the King's Treasury from Number 22, so I came to join in the fun."

“That’s not right. That divine tortoise has amazing defense and endless tricks. It took Hermes and Hephaestus, the two chief gods, working together to barely open a path for us agents. How did you get in?” Bifetu asked, looking completely bewildered.

"I bought a piece of information from Number 22 at a high price. It's a way to bypass the Divine Turtle and get in. Were you poisoned by those two gods?"

Gu Tianchen activated his Netherworld Eye and immediately noticed something was wrong with Bifetu.

“Yes, all twenty-odd of us agents have been poisoned by that old Hermes. If we don’t retrieve the Royal Treasury within three days, we’ll all die,” Biffitu said through gritted teeth.

Gu Tianchen raised an eyebrow, glanced around, and asked, "There were over twenty of us who came in together, how come you're the only one left?"

Bifitu sighed and said, "Oh, don't even mention it. We were brought here right when we landed in the royal city of Uruk."

"Although everyone in that city is an ordinary person, each of them possesses a divine artifact, and even the old city lord has a supreme divine artifact!"

"That supreme artifact is a scepter. We were just about to make a move when, 'snap,' it happened so fast! That old man has no sportsmanship!"
