Chapter 2842: Space Expansion
"Spiritual Body!?" First God was astonished, is such a thing possible?
"It can be considered the resentment of those lives from the previous era. After all, so many lives coming to an end will undoubtedly leave traces. When these traces converge, they form such spiritual bodies!"
Standing inside a black hole, First Venerable shouted: "These spiritual bodies have no consciousness, but each possesses the cultivation of the Strongest Level. The most critical aspect is that they will attack any life they can see. Therefore, upon encountering these spiritual bodies, do not approach, run away immediately!"
Upon hearing this, First God’s expression changed as well. He had not anticipated that the Forest of Ten Thousand Realms would harbor such terrifying existence. It seems he truly cannot underestimate this forest.
As for the other strong Guardian Gods, their distance was getting farther, making it difficult to hear clearly. Some who were closer managed to hear parts, while those farther away were completely clueless.
At this moment, a dense amount of World Trees appeared above the channel on the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, descending swiftly.
Seeing this situation, First Venerable immediately retreated into his coffin, hiding deep within the black hole.
If so many World Trees were to jolt his coffin, that would indeed be troublesome.
Gripping tightly onto the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, First God dared not relax for a moment. He could no longer concern himself with the other Guardian Gods, but merely focus on preserving himself for now.
As long as he held onto the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, it was equivalent to grasping the essence of a Guardian God. Consequently, other Guardian Gods would certainly strive to locate him, enabling him to easily seize control over the Guardian God authority.
Finally, the numerous World Trees from the sky descended.
At the moment these World Trees descended, First God clearly saw that those Guardian Gods frantically flying toward him from afar disappeared instantly without a trace.
First God sighed, knowing that the present universe had expanded by ten million times, making it difficult to find these individuals again.
Fortunately, the distance between the Human Clan and them had also expanded ten million times, making it equally challenging for the Human Clan to find them.
Watching the increasing numbers of descending World Trees, First God simply closed his eyes, quietly accepting it all.
He was uncertain what the universe would become upon reopening his eyes. However, this presented an opportunity for the Guardian God. If it wasn’t for this expansion, the Human Clan’s strongest could annihilate them completely!
Meanwhile, the Human Clan’s strongest fell into desperation.
Su Yang and the others had no idea what First Venerable intended, so they fled. Yet, after running some distance, they realized something was amiss, and the distance between them increased suddenly.
"What’s happening?" Supreme Dragon Emperor exclaimed: "Where are you all running to?"
"I didn’t run; why are you running?" Eternal Divine Emperor said in surprise: "Where are you heading? Why is everyone running?"
"I didn’t run either!"
"I didn’t run either!"
Eveyone exclaimed in shock, soon realizing that none of them had moved, yet their distances had increased.
"What’s going on?" All were astonished.
But before they could figure out what was happening, their distances expanded again.
This time, everyone saw clearly that none of them moved, yet their distances expanded suddenly.
"Hey, what’s going on?" Supreme Dragon Emperor exclaimed: "Have you ever seen anything like this?"
Everyone was speechless, even those knowledgeable like Buddha and Taoist Venerable and Human Emperor had never seen such a situation.
"What’s happening?" Eternal Divine Emperor also asked in surprise.
No one could answer; everyone was perplexed.
"Don’t worry about what’s happening, quickly gather together!" Su Yang suddenly shouted: "If this distance keeps expanding, we’ll definitely be scattered!"
Everyone came to their senses and hurried to fly towards each other.
But as soon as they started moving, they realized their distances had expanded again. All their previous attempts to close the distance were in vain.
"Is this witchery?" Supreme Dragon Emperor exclaimed, accelerating: "Hurry up, hurry up, or our speed won’t match the speed of the expanding distances!"
Others also accelerated flying towards one other, but soon found their distances expanding again, rendering all previous efforts futile.
"This flying won’t work!" Heaven Slayer said in a low voice: "Everyone find the nearest person to group together, to avoid being picked off one by one!"
No words were exchanged as everyone turned towards the nearest person and flew over. As Heaven Slayer mentioned, gathering everyone was almost impossible, so forming groups with those closest was the only slightly secure strategy.
The nearest to Su Yang was Ye Wantong, and the two swiftly flew toward each other. Soon, they were about to meet, but their distances expanded again.
"Ah!" Supreme Dragon Emperor’s scream echoed from afar: "It’s Dragon Lord’s tail!"
Everyone involuntarily glanced over. Supreme Dragon Emperor and Eternal Divine Emperor were about to converge. Eternal Divine Emperor held onto Supreme Dragon Emperor’s tail, and it seemed as if it was suddenly stretched to ten thousand lengths.
Clearly, as the two were about to come together, Eternal Divine Emperor held onto Supreme Dragon Emperor’s tail, and as the distance suddenly expanded, he stretched out the tail by holding on.
Even though Supreme Dragon Emperor’s body could reach millions in length, it required full transformation. Suddenly being pulled so long must be painful!
Everyone was speechless, yet they realized the crisis of the sudden distance change and hastened to fly toward the nearest person.
Su Yang and Ye Wantong remained successful; they managed to come together before another expansion. Su Yang grabbed Ye Wantong’s hand tightly, meaning they were in the same spot, even if distances expanded.
"Everyone quickly gather, and if separated, memorize my direction, fly towards me!" Su Yang shouted to everyone.
The moment the words fell, their distances expanded rapidly. In a few breaths, everyone disappeared entirely from sight. Their distances had reached the point where they couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.
