Supreme Warrior in the City

These Guardian Gods calmed down a little, but Su Zhan once again laughed and said, ”You’ll know soon enough whether I’m lying to you or not, won’t you? All right, since you’re already here, are you still planning to talk us into submission with your mouths? Our two sides are irreconcilable. Whether your people can get in or not, this battle has to be fought anyway. Why waste time?”

As Su Zhan spoke, he lifted his hand with a wave and shouted, ”Kill!”

The surrounding allied army had long been itching for a fight. Hearing this, they all roared in anger and charged toward the Guardian Gods below.

All this time, the allied army had been hunted down by the Guardian Gods in utterly miserable fashion. Moreover, most members of the allied army came from those other Three Thousand Great Worlds; their homelands had been destroyed by the Guardian Gods, their kin and friends slain by the Guardian Gods. Their hatred for the Guardian Gods had already reached the extreme.

Before, the Guardian Gods were too powerful, and they simply had no way to seek revenge. Now they had finally seized the opportunity to trap these Guardian Gods here; how could the allied army possibly show them any mercy? All their past rage and resentment were vented upon them, and there was naturally no need to say more about how they struck!

Moreover, the Guardian Gods had misjudged the situation of the allied army.

They were estimating only the former strength of the allied army. But in fact, after Su Yang brought the Emperor Slave back last time, the Emperor Slave also brought the powerhouses under his command to the Nine Realms. The number of experts at the Emperor Slave’s side was no less than that of the allied army. So the strength of the allied army had basically doubled.

Under such circumstances, these Guardian Gods had even less power to resist. The allied army attacked in unison, and these Guardian Gods could only be passively beaten.

Initially, those Main Gods were still shouting, telling everyone not to worry, that their people would definitely rush over to the rescue at once. But as time slowly passed and more and more Guardian Gods died, even those Main Gods fell into despair.

They could now be sure that those other Guardian Gods had truly been blocked outside and simply could not get in. In other words, they were completely trapped in here and had completely fallen into the allied army’s trap.

With that, the morale of the Guardian Gods shook even more. Many Guardian Gods no longer had the will to resist, one after another flying back toward the Jieyue Tower, or soaring into the sky, trying to find a way to escape.

As a result, once they fell into chaos like this, their forces collapsed even more completely. On the allied army’s side, they spent almost no effort at all to wipe out all of these Guardian Gods.

Of course, among these Guardian Gods, there were also some Main Gods who were at the Earth-level Realm. However, the allied army also had Earth-level Realm powerhouses, and their numbers far exceeded those on the Guardian Gods’ side. The Guardian Gods’ Earth-level Powerhouses also fell in battle one after another.

In fact, even these Guardian Gods themselves didn’t know that the place where they were fighting wasn’t actually in the Nine Realms, but inside the World Melting Furnace.

Jiang Zi’er had aligned the entrance of the World Melting Furnace with the exit of the Jieyue Tower, so after these Guardian Gods came in, they directly entered the World Melting Furnace. This great battle was breaking out inside the World Melting Furnace.

The reason for choosing the World Melting Furnace was, first, to more conveniently collect the blood of these Guardian Gods. Second, because of the situation in the Nine Realms—after all, the Nine Realms were merely a Small World and could not withstand such a war.

During the battle, Jiang Zi’er was also manipulating the power of the World Melting Furnace, gathering up all the flesh and bones of the Guardian Gods.

Over these years, the allied army had already reshaped Reincarnation and were trying to find a way to draw the Ancient Gods back. And to draw the gods back, the best method was to use the blood of powerhouses to drive Reincarnation.

Exterminating these Guardian Gods was also a plan Su Yang had laid down before he left. He wanted to use this batch of Guardian Gods’ blood to draw the gods back!

Of course, the Guardian Gods knew nothing of this. Even the Divine Servant only knew that Su Yang’s side was definitely going to reshape Reincarnation, but as for exactly how to reshape it, and how to draw the gods back, he knew nothing.

As for the situation in the Nine Realms, the Divine Servant understood even less. The only thing he knew was that the strength of the allied army was far inferior to that of the Guardian Gods.

Thus the Divine Servant committed this grave mistake—sending a great army to invade the Nine Realms, which instead turned out to be a great help to the Nine Realms. Using this Guardian God blood to draw the gods back was the most suitable method.

Once the war of the Nine Realms ended, Jiang Zi’er sent all the collected blood and bones into Reincarnation. Then the powerhouses of the allied army once again arrived near Reincarnation, jointly driving Reincarnation to operate, beginning to draw the gods back.

This process sounds simple, but in reality it was anything but easy. Even with the blood of the Guardian Gods and so many powerhouses of the allied army working together, it would still take one or two hundred years to draw the gods back.

Furthermore, that would only bring them back, nothing more. The gods, upon returning, would only have incomplete Spiritual Senses and would not be in peak condition. Restoring them to their peak strength—that was the truly important matter!

And for the gods to recover their peak state, the key lay in the Earth Principle.

...

Within the Chaos, Su Yang had been roaming about with the three Crystal Skulls and the Chaos Sparrow for a very long time.

Although Chaos had no orientation or space, the problem was that anything hidden here also had no coordinates to speak of. Something might be right within arm’s reach of you, yet you’d still be unable to find it.

Previously, the Divine Servant had been able to find the half Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet because the power of the three great powerhouses erupted here, causing the aura of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet to leak out; only then did he locate it.

If the aura of the Earth Principle did not leak out, Su Yang simply had no need to even think about finding it.

They had entered this Land of Chaos for several decades now, and Su Yang and the others had been wandering around inside the whole time, yet they hadn’t discovered anything at all—not a single trace of the Earth Principle.

Of course, wandering aimlessly in this Chaos wasn’t easy either. Because Chaos had no direction or orientation, if you didn’t have someone very familiar with the situation in Chaos to lead the way, once you entered, you’d be directly lost within it.

Fortunately, Su Yang had the Chaos Sparrow with him, so they wouldn’t lose their way in here. However, finding the Earth Principle was no easy matter.

No one knew how long they had been searching; Su Yang and the others had always come up empty-handed. The Second City Lord had wanted to throw in the towel and give up on this matter more than once.

But Su Yang could not give up. He knew very well the current situation of the Human Clan. If they could not find the Earth Principle, the Human Clan was destined to suffer a tragic defeat and would be utterly no match for the Immortal Palace. So searching for the Earth Principle was the most important matter to him; it concerned the life and death of the Human Clan, and he absolutely could not retreat.
