Supreme Warrior in the City

Su Yang was somewhat dumbfounded, the Taoist Venerable’s words indeed struck straight to the heart.

"From ancient to ancient times, how much has the Human Clan given, how much has been sacrificed?" The Taoist Venerable spoke coldly: "For what? Isn’t it just so the Human Clan can grasp everything of their own? So many strong ones in ancient times, so many strong ones in ancient times can be sacrificed, why can’t those in later eras be sacrificed?"

Su Yang fell silent, although the words were spoken this way, when he thought about it carefully, so many lives just being wiped out like this made him feel truly uncomfortable.

"Since you have the power to wipe out all life, why not selectively wipe out?" Su Yang asked, "Wipe out the Guardian God and not the Human Clan?"

"If we could do that, do you think we wouldn’t want to?" The Taoist Venerable said solemnly: "But the issue isn’t as simple as you think, the only ones who can wipe out all life are the Heavenly Dao and Earth Principle. We are merely borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao or Earth Principle to wipe out all life. However, whether using the Heavenly Dao or Earth Principle, there’s no way to choose selectively: if we wipe out, it’s complete annihilation, without choice!"

After pausing for a moment, the Taoist Venerable said solemnly: "Why do you think the Guardian God would be any better than us? Over so many eras, we have wiped out half, and the Guardian God has wiped out half. This situation is relative. Once the Human Clan gains the upper hand, the Guardian God loses hope, they would utilize the Heavenly Dao to wipe out this era. In the same vein, once the Guardian God gains the upper hand and the Human Clan loses advantage, we would use Earth Principle to wipe out this era!"

"Wouldn’t they try to stop it?" Su Yang asked curiously, "Once the Guardian God gains the upper hand, wouldn’t they want to maintain the advantage?"

"But they also have to be able to stop it!" The Taoist Venerable said: "We use Earth Principle to wipe out the era. The strongest of the Guardian God hasn’t returned, what can they use to stop Earth Principle? Similarly, when the Guardian God uses the Heavenly Dao to wipe out the era, if our strongest hasn’t returned, how can we stop them?"

"The strongest..." Su Yang looked at the Taoist Venerable, "Aren’t you one of the strongest?"

"But I haven’t restored my peak power!" The Taoist Venerable said, "Only by restoring peak power can we stop. Therefore, over so many eras, we haven’t been able to stop the Guardian God, and the Guardian God hasn’t been able to stop us!"

"So that’s how it is!" Su Yang realized, feeling deeply moved. Who would have thought so many things had happened in between?

"But aren’t the Heavenly Dao and Earth Principle already shattered?" Su Yang asked curiously, "How are you using the Heavenly Dao and Earth Principle to wipe out an era?"

"The Heavenly Dao and Earth Principle are shattered, but they were born from Chaos; they can slowly recover within Chaos!" The Taoist Venerable said, "You’ve already obtained that half of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, which is recovering within Chaos. Half of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet is enough to wipe out this era!"

"So that’s how it is!" Su Yang nodded.

"Then now, between us and the Guardian God, who actually has the upper hand?" Su Yang asked again, "Once we have the upper hand, would the Guardian God strike to wipe out this era?"

"Do you know why those Heavenly Warriors have returned in this era?" The Taoist Venerable said softly, "Do you know why they all say everything must end in this era?"

Su Yang shook his head, the Taoist Venerable said: "Because as this era has developed to now, both we and the Guardian God believe this is the best opportunity, neither is going to wipe out this era anymore!"

"Why?" Su Yang wondered, the situation is still unclear.

"Initially everyone was observing, so for the time being, no one came to wipe out this era. But now the situation is under control, it can no longer be wiped out." The Taoist Venerable said, "Many of our strongest ones have awakened now. Even if the Guardian God wants to use the Heavenly Dao to wipe out this era at this time, we can stop them. Likewise, many of the strongest of the Guardian God have returned, and we can’t wipe out this era either. Therefore, everything will end in this era!"

"Are you saying, both the Human Clan and the Guardian God jointly chose this era?" Su Yang asked curiously.

The Taoist Venerable nodded, Su Yang asked curiously, "But with the situation so unclear, choosing this era, who knows who will ultimately win?"

"That’s the reason for jointly choosing this era!" The Taoist Venerable said, "Only when both sides are equally strong and the situation is unclear, can both sides agree. Once one side is too strong, the other will definitely wipe out this era!"

"That’s true!" Su Yang nodded, but felt more pressure. So many eras have sacrificed lives, ultimately for the final battle in this era. If the Human Clan is defeated, wouldn’t it be letting down the lives sacrificed before?

"You didn’t just come to thank me this time, did you?" The Taoist Venerable asked.

Su Yang chuckled, telling the Taoist Venerable about the current situation of the Nine Realms, "Junior has come to invite Senior to preside over the Nine Realms!"

"No need to preside, since the Nine Realms has been arranged well, I will lend you a hand!" The Taoist Venerable waved his hand, and immediately some people flew out from the distant planet. Leading them was Xuan Yi, whom Su Yang had seen here before.

These people all looked puzzled, as if they didn’t know why the Taoist Venerable brought them out.

However, they didn’t say anything and all bowed before the Taoist Venerable.

"The time has come, I should go now!" The Taoist Venerable said loudly, "Bringing you here is to tell you there are some things you have to do!"

Xuan Yi and others were puzzled, but still bowed one after another, "What instructions does the Guardian God have?"

"Before that, I’ll restore your memories first!" The Taoist Venerable waved his hand, and suddenly a Qing Guang appeared outside the planet. The Qing Guang shattered, and countless light points quickly fell into the planet.

Some light points fell on Xuan Yi and others, and they suddenly froze as if deep in thought. After a long time, their expressions gradually changed, but their faces were sorrowful, and some even had tears welling up.

Su Yang watched this scene, quite puzzled, not knowing exactly what the situation was. But he could see that these people were all very emotional.

The Taoist Venerable spoke at this time: "You are all genius powerful ones from countless previous eras. When those eras perished, I gathered your remnants and preserved them till now, allowing you rebirth. For so many years, I haven’t restored your memories because I didn’t want you to bear too much pain and hatred."
