Everyone sighed in amazement when they heard what Xiao Ling had said. In reality, no one knew the strength of the four sovereigns back then because the cultivation realm above the Holy Emperor had yet to be announced. All those who had reached the Origin realm, whether they were Receival, Returnance, or Reciprocity, were referred to as surpassing the Holy Emperor. After all, there were only four such experts in the entire world.
Even now, only Poseidon knew the exact strength of the four sovereigns. No one knew the exact strength of Mo Tianyun, A 'Ruijin, and the Winged Tiger. They could only guess a little from the bits and pieces of information that Xiao Ling had divulged.
However, this was enough to make them sigh in amazement.
"Everyone, although the experts from the World of Forsaken Saints have retreated, they can attack our Tian Yuan Continent at any time as long as the tunnel remains open. As a result, it's best if you don't leave this divine hall. You have to be prepared to channel your energy into the divine hall at any time. Only by unleashing the divine hall's power to its maximum can we remain here and keep the people from the World of Forsaken Saints at bay," Tian Jian said to the people around him. Tian Jian said to the people around him. He slowly glanced past the Origin realm experts with a determined gaze. His heart could not help but churn.
Shangguan Mu 'er, Changyang Mingyue, the Winged Tiger, and Tie Ta had all been his juniors in the past. They were much weaker than him, and he had even assisted a few of them in the past, protecting them. However, when he emerged from seclusion, it was like countless years had passed in the outside world. The people who had once supported him and even received his protection had all reached the Origin realm now.
There was also Houston. He had been at the Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor in the past. They were both supreme experts who stood at the apex of the Tian Yuan Continent, yet now, the person who was basically his age had also reached the Origin realm. Tian Jian sighed in amazement.
Although the supreme divine hall had been placed at the entrance of the tunnel, just Tian Jian and the divine hall were not enough to guard the entrance. Although it was impossible for the people from the World of Forsaken Saints to destroy the divine hall, they possessed enough power to push it away. As a result, the divine hall needed to be maintained by many Origin realm experts and Sainthood experts. Only then could the formation function and stop the experts from the World of Forsaken Saints.
There was no need for Tian Jian to explain this. Everyone understood this, so none of the Origin realm experts had any objections to Tian Jian's suggestion. They all agreed to stay and watch over the divine hall.
"There's an even more powerful Spiritking in the World of Forsaken Saints. The reason why the Spiritking hasn't come this time is probably because the tunnel is still unable to endure his power. Once the tunnel stabilizes, the Spiritking might enter the tunnel and attack the divine hall. The World of Forsaken Saints possesses origin energy, so even if the Spiritking runs out of it, he can recover in an extremely short amount of time. However, it's extremely difficult for us to recover origin energy here, so we need to conserve origin energy. At the same time, we need to use all the resources we can, including various monster cores regardless of grade, Saint Ruler skeletons, and the special crystal coins of the Sea race. As long as it's something that can be extracted, we need to use it all. Only then can we last longer and slowly find a way to deal with the threat from the World of Forsaken Saints," Tian Jian said solemnly. Houston said with a heavy voice. His face was extremely stern. Most of his wounds had been healed by the artifact space, so he had changed into a new set of robes.
"It's rumored that the Spiritking's strength is equivalent to Godhood. We probably won't be able to fend him off even if we have several hundred years to recuperate. At the same time, if he constantly exhausts the power of our divine hall, we'll only be able to last for a few decades or even a few years even if we gather all the power of the four races. How are we supposed to stop the Spiritking?"
"In ancient times, the greatest human expert, Mo Tianyun, invaded the World of Forsaken Saints all by himself and committed a massacre. He killed many Origin realm experts from the World of Forsaken Saints, causing them to suffer extremely heavy losses. In the end, he even sealed up the passage between the two worlds. Our grievances with the World of Forsaken Saints have been established since ancient times. Coupled with the recent battles we've had with the World of Forsaken Saints, our worlds are like fire and water. If we lose this place, our world will probably be reduced to ashes or even completely destroyed."
Everyone felt very sorrowful when they heard that. Their joy from repelling the World of Forsaken Saints immediately vanished. They all understood that the Tian Yuan Continent could use the divine hall to suppress the World of Forsaken Saints for a few decades at most or even less. They did not have much time to catch their breaths, so where was their chance of survival in the future?
"We need to have a supreme expert who can stand on par with the Spiritking in the next few years," Tian Jian said with a heavy voice as he slowly glanced past everyone.
Everyone felt a heavy pressure. The reason why their strength had increased so quickly was because they had either obtained legacies or possessed heaven-defying heavenly resources. However, Houston and the White Tiger's legacies had all been used up, so it was impossible for their strength to undergo a second qualitative leap. Changyang Mingyue had only been able to reach Returnance in such a short amount of time because of the Ten-thousand-year Icesoul. However, there were only three Ten-thousand-year Icesouls, and they had taken a total of three million years to condense. It was impossible for them to obtain a fourth.
As for Shangguan Mu 'er, she was blessed by the heavens because she was the mother of the Innate Chaotic Body, so her strength increased extremely quickly. However, it was impossible for her to reach a level where she could stand on par with the Spiritking in such a short amount of time. This was because as her cultivation increased, her strength would slow down.
"My strength won't increase in a short amount of time either. There aren't that many resources for me to cultivate here. However, the corpse of the previous war god, A 'Ruijin, is still sealed on the Wasteland Continent. It's just that the last beast fur is in the divine hall, so it can't be opened. Senior Tian Jian, please give the last beast fur to Tie Ta so that he can open the seal. He might be able to benefit from it." Jianchen's voice rang out. He and Tie Ta walked in together. Their clothes were stained with blood.
"I'll go get the last beast fur right now." Tian Jian's eyes lit up. Without any hesitation, he immediately went to retrieve the last beast fur.
Tian Jian left and went to the treasury to retrieve the beast fur. However, the other Origin realm experts remained where they were. They did not follow him.
"Uncle Xiu, you've finally emerged from seclusion. In the past, I had almost turned the entire world upside down in order to find you," Jianchen looked at Houston and bitterly smiled.
Houston gently sighed, "I've always been cultivating in the depths of the Death Nest in the past few years. I've entered a selfless state, so I can't sense the passage of time. Although my strength has increased drastically, it's a pity that I haven't been able to see my son one last time." Houston's face was filled with some regret and sorrow. The light in his eyes dimmed as well.
When he left the Death Nest, he had scanned Longevity Valley with the senses of his soul. He had seen Xiu Mi's tombstone. Just how many people could experience the pain of sending off their own child?
PS: I still haven't recovered today, so I'll do my best to make up for what I owe tomorrow.
