Book 7, Chapter 54: Countermeasures
“So that’s how it is”
Su Chen felt extre the Blood Ancestor’s explanation
Even though the Origin Beasts had successfully expelled the Gods, it turns out that they had been forced into hibernation because the Gods’ plan to in Energy Sea had failed
But before then, they had enjoyed a period of relative ease
Just like the Gods who had enslaved theht to enslave the thousands of races left behind For the Intelligent Races, this was the Dark Ages of their history
So would only make an individual harsher instead of compassionate
“So what is the Eternal Treaty?” Su Chen asked
“I don’t know,” the Blood Ancestor replied with a shake of its head “That probably took place after the Gods were confined to the Kun territory”
Su Chen said, “Maybe I should rephrase my question The Gods have been locked up in there for at least a hundred thousand years by now, right? Without any sources of divine power, they should not be able to live for that long So why are they still even alive? Are there new Gods being born, and are the current Gods not the saainst?”
The Blood Ancestor immediately replied, “That’s impossible The Deep Freeze Prison’s environ Gods, so they must be the same Gods that I remember There can only be one explanation as to why they are still alive: they must still have a source of divine power”
Su Chen was in’s sacrifices, the strange glowing statue within the Mother Goddess Sect’s headquarters, and the nificent Dreamrealm created by the Lord of the Dreamrealm
Su Chen so it more closely “So the Barrier of the Gods doesn’t coin Realm One way or another, the Gods are able to find loopholes in their isolation Between the Drea, and the Mother Goddess’s religion They all have ways to continue receiving divine power Even though it isn’t h to allow them to survive”
“The Kun territory in Beasts Even though no new Gods will be created, new Beasts will still appear As long as they use thely, they should be able to survive”
“And if that’s still not enough, they can always throttle their resource consumption,” the Blood Ancestor said
“How can they do that?” Su Chen asked curiously
The Blood Ancestor chuckled darkly “The tiny Kun territory cannot sustain hundreds of Gods, but a smaller number should still be possible”
Su Chen immediately recalled Jia Luo’s current status
Who had turned this Reaper into a shell of his forht that it was the Origin Beasts
But now, he knew that it wasn’t them
It was actually the Gods the to exert influence on the Origin Realainst one another over the liin Beasts in the Kun territoryThey were lowering their overall consu the nuaze grew frosty “I think that I’et a better idea of what the Eternal Treaty is all about”
“Ah” The Blood Ancestor also seemed to understand “Like the Barrier of the Gods, it must have also been for self-preservation”
“That’s a very likely possibility,” Su Chen agreed with a slight s to do anything just to survive”
“That’s right,” the Blood Ancestor replied with a nod, “Now that a hundred thousand years have passed, the Kun Territory is beginning to er a need for the Barrier of the Gods to exist Once it is fully destroyed, the Gods will return”
“They can’t destroy it themselves?”
“That barrier was created by a few hundred Gods with their full strength I don’t kno th to fully destroy it, which is why they have no choice but to wait for time to erode it away”
All of the effort that they had put into protecting the eroded away under the constant assault of Origin Energy, however, which gave the Gods an opportunity to return
But as tier wanted their former masters to come back
Su Chen said, “If that’s the case, then shouldn’t we team up? Do you still have any objections to this?”
The Blood Ancestor chuckled coldly as it replied, “Team up? Do you not understand why I told you all that? We are simply not qualified to be their opponents Even in the past, the Gods steamrolled us due to their control over divine power and Method Power Don’t delude yourself by thinking that you’ll be able to defeat theress in your cultivation Even with Sky City, I would be quite impressed if you could defeat one of us Ancestors As for a God? Don’t even think about it”
Su Chen seriously replied, “Won’t they beconfined in Deep Freeze Prison for a hundred thousand years?”
The Blood Ancestor replied, “I understand where you are coressed, perhaps even to the point where they’ll be weaker than a Desolate Beast However, trust th doesn’t lie in just their power Rather, theiras they return, they will i massive ah battle and slaughter, which will allow theer at an unstoppable pace Unless you can kill all of the you will be able to do other than watch theroill show you the trueof despair!”
Su Chen fell silent
The Blood Ancestor was coht have been weakened, but they would definitely recover their forle blow?
Forget about it Even if the Gods had become as weak as a Desolate Beast, could Su Chen kill a Desolate Beast in a single blow?
Of course not
Even the Blood Ancestor couldn’t
So if neither of them could accomplish this, then the Gods would quickly show Su Chen just how high their peak power really was
Their rate of groas enough to cause anyone to fall into despair
There was nothing surprising about that
The prospect of facing an Origin Beast was already enough to cause the hu the Gods, ere even more powerful
Su Chen fell silent
Even though he already knew that the Gods were exceptionally powerful, the deluge of infor crushed by an unstoppable pressure
But did that ive up?
Su Chen was unwilling to accept that possibility
He had been fighting valiantly for the hued to complete an entire series of bloodlineless cultivation techniques, a feat that everyone else had deemed impossible And now, the path of cultivation was open to everyone
