Chapter 2718: Su Yang’s Speculation
Bringing everyone back to the World Melting Furnace, these remaining Heavenly Warriors began to collaborate to activate reincarnation and bring back those who had previously died in battle.
Su Yang then found the Eternal Divine Emperor to inquire about the Heavenly Sect.
The Eternal Divine Emperor was actually quite perplexed, as Su Yang hadn’t yet started asking when he preemptively questioned, "Little Yang, how do you know that the Heavenly Sect is leading the Guardian Gods?"
Su Yang replied, "At first, I didn’t know either, but later, I specifically sought out information about these individuals among the Guardian Gods, analyzed it, and realized the person we saw before couldn’t possibly be the leader of the Guardian Gods!"
The Eternal Divine Emperor was surprised, "Why not possible? That person called Beigong Divine King is one of the outstanding figures among the Ancient Guardian Gods, holding a high status and having significant influence among them. It seems quite normal for him to be managing the Guardian Gods."
Su Yang chuckled, "It’s precisely because it’s too normal that it seems off. Think about our Human Clan’s situation, and then consider the situation of the Guardian Gods. Even though our Human Clan is quite united, once the Primordial and Ancient powerhouses returned, they branched into so many factions. As for the Guardian Gods, well, they are even more complex with seven Heavenly Venerables. How many internal factions do they have? Under such circumstances, how difficult would it be for this Beigong Divine King to take control of all the Guardian Gods?"
The Eternal Divine Emperor pondered, "Could it be that the strongest among the Guardian Gods are supporting him?"
"I also considered that possibility before, but then I studied the Guardian Gods’ attack strategies and found those strategies to be completely inconsistent with Beigong Divine King’s style!" Su Yang said, "Therefore, I believe Beigong Divine King is just a front, and someone else is behind him!"
"Oh!" The Eternal Divine Emperor nodded, "But how did you think it was the Heavenly Sect?"
"Because this style of doing things is very similar to the Heavenly Sect!" Su Yang said, "The Heavenly Sect person is extremely insidious and deceitful, and only he would do such things. So the first person I guessed was him. But at that time, I wasn’t sure it was him because, in the later stages, the Heavenly Sect would have become one of the strongest. Logically speaking, he should be confronting other top beings from our Human Clan, so why would he appear here?"
"Later, I recalled the Heaven Slayer cutting off the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet incident, and finally understood the situation. Although the Heavenly Sect is also one of the strongest, in the final battle, he was cut down by the Heaven Slayer, ruining his foundation, so recovering as the strongest is not so easy.
"Additionally, with the situation on the Human Clan’s side, the Taoist Venerable is guarding that planet as if he had nothing to do, not involved in anything. This suggests that the Guardian Gods should be missing a strongest individual, otherwise, the Tao Sect wouldn’t be so idle. Thus, I speculate that the Heavenly Sect likely hasn’t restored the strength of the strongest but is hiding among the Guardian Gods. And if the Heavenly Sect is indeed the one hidden, then he surely is the leader of the Guardian Gods!"
"At that time, I wasn’t sure if the person was the Heavenly Sect, but when he came out and I saw the reaction of the other Guardian Gods, I was seventy percent sure it was him. And when I asked a question at that time, it was also to trick him, and I succeeded!"
After listening to Su Yang’s analysis, the Eternal Divine Emperor was left dumbfounded.
These considerations, he had completely overlooked.
"Yang’er, you... your considerations are truly comprehensive!" The Eternal Divine Emperor couldn’t help but admire him, no wonder the strongest had to let Su Yang govern the Human Clan. Just this point alone is incomparable to others.
Su Yang smiled, thinking it would be unacceptable not to be thorough in this position. The Human Clan’s strength is inferior to the Guardian Gods; if he’s careless even a little, it could endanger the Human Clan. The Human Clan now cannot afford any accidents!
"I never expected the Heavenly Sect to have returned!" The Eternal Divine Emperor’s eyes flashed coldly, "In ancient times, he advanced to the strongest at last, and I could do nothing against him. Now, he hasn’t returned to the strength of the strongest, hum, I will make him pay for his debts in blood!"
Su Yang glanced at the Eternal Divine Emperor, "This matter cannot be rushed. Even though the Heavenly Sect hasn’t recovered to the strength of the strongest, his strength is still formidable. Moreover, since this individual could be chosen as a leader among the Guardian Gods, it surely isn’t simply due to his influence; after all, his foundation has been destroyed, and he’s no longer the strongest. So, there are certainly other strongest backers supporting him!"
"So what?" The Eternal Divine Emperor said coldly, "Aren’t the other strongest busy with other matters now? Who has time to deal with this side? Seizing this opportunity to kill him is quite fitting!"
"I’m just concerned that the other strongest might have given him some kind of ultimate weapon." Su Yang said softly, "This person is extremely cautious, and he is very afraid of death. If he truly has some killing weapon hidden, rashly confronting him would be unwise."
"Hum, at this point, am I still scared of death?" The Eternal Divine Emperor said, "Even if I die, reincarnation is still there, and I can be revived, what is there to fear?"
Su Yang sighed, "If it’s truly some hidden killing weapon, then even reincarnation might not be able to resurrect someone. Ordinary battle deaths can indeed be brought back, but once faced with special circumstances, there really isn’t anything that can be done. In ancient times, many Heavenly Warriors thoroughly perished, wiped from existence, and reincarnation couldn’t guide them back; this has certainly happened. This matter needs to be carefully considered!"
The Eternal Divine Emperor’s expression changed, recalling the Female Sword Saint who faced such a situation, ultimately completely perishing.
Although Ye Wantong inherited the Female Sword Saint’s legacy, Ye Wantong is ultimately not the Female Sword Saint. His daughter truly died completely, ceasing to exist!
"To take revenge, one must kill him, not run to be killed!" Su Yang said softly, "I know you feel suffocated inside, but don’t make meaningless sacrifices!"
The Eternal Divine Emperor sighed deeply and nodded slowly, "I understand your point, rest assured, without avenging my daughter, I won’t die just like that!"
"Glad you understand!" Su Yang nodded and gazed towards the distant sky, speaking softly, "The biggest challenge now is to prepare for the Guardian Gods’ next attack. The next assault is likely to be more complex than any preceding one!"
"What are your plans?" The Eternal Divine Emperor asked.
Su Yang shook his head, pondering for a while before saying, "I want to retreat for a period and see if I can reach the advanced Earth-level."
