Chapter 2821: The Guardian God’s Predicament
The Eternal Main God wore an angry expression, feeling extremely unwilling, yet there was nothing he could say.
All the Guardian Gods stayed outside the Land of Origin, surrounding it completely, while also contemplating ways to enter it.
Previously, Su Yang’s speculation was correct: to enter the Land of Origin, one must either use the Power of Earth or the Heavenly Dao Power.
The Guardian Gods possessed the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, which allowed them to harness the Heavenly Dao Power. In other words, the Guardian Gods actually had a method to enter the Land of Origin.
But the question was, what should they do after entering?
The Land of Origin, like a black hole, can corrode people. Previously, the First God and others had entered, but were forced to retreat by the corrosive power. Therefore, although they had long known about the Land of Origin, they never thought of entering for cultivation.
Now, with the situation as it was, they had to start contemplating entering. After all, except for the First God, no one knew that the black hole had been pushed into the Land of Origin by the First God.
In the eyes of the people, it was very likely that the Human Clan had pushed the black hole into the Land of Origin. The Human Clan doing this might have a reason, and they must go in to monitor and prevent unexpected situations.
At this time, people no longer had the mind to care about the Heavenly Sect monopolizing resources. As long as the threat of the Human Clan existed, the strength of the Heavenly Sect must be restored as soon as possible.
The First God’s actions directly placed the Guardian Gods in a worrying situation. At the same time, the Guardian Gods had to exert a lot of effort to attempt to enter the Land of Origin.
However, the First God felt no shame. If he didn’t do this, then the Heavenly Sect could not continue to obtain so many resources. Without the support of the Heavenly Sect, his chances of becoming the controller of the Guardian Gods would be very low.
The First God gathered a group of the Strongest to discuss matters regarding entering the Land of Origin. However, after a long discussion, they were unable to come up with a method. Resisting the corrosive power within was not an easy task.
"Why don’t we do as the Human Clan does and absorb the Spiritual Energy in there to resist the corrosive power?" a Strongest suddenly suggested.
"No!" The First God decisively refused: "The Spiritual Energy in there is not for us to use. No one can target that Spiritual Energy. That Spiritual Energy is the most important for the Heavenly Venerable. If there is any loss, it will affect the plans of Lord Heavenly Venerate!"
"However, the Human Clan has already entered and absorbed so much Spiritual Energy. If it were to really affect the plans of Lord Heavenly Venerate, wouldn’t they have already affected it by now?" a Strongest whispered.
The First God frowned and said in a deep voice: "That’s different. Although the Human Clan absorbed that Spiritual Energy, they cannot digest it. That is to say, the Spiritual Energy still remains condensed within them. Once Lord Heavenly Venerate emerges and kills them, that Spiritual Energy will disperse again, and Lord Heavenly Venerate can continue to absorb it."
"But our situation as Guardian Gods is different. The Secret Techniques we cultivate are mostly passed down from Lord Heavenly Venerate, and are very likely to digest that Spiritual Energy. Once we absorb it, even if we die later, the Spiritual Energy cannot recover, which would ruin the plans of Lord Heavenly Venerate!"
Many present showed expressions of sudden realization. Not many were aware of these things. Even among the Strongest, only the First God and a few others knew.
"According to what you say, we can’t enter the Land of Origin at all!" said the previously discouraged Strongest: "Then how can we enter and watch over the Human Clan?"
"It’s not that there’s no way!" The First God shook his head: "There are actually two ways to enter now."
"What ways?" everyone asked quickly.
The First God: "The first method is to go in directly. The corrosive power inside will erode our bodies. However, as long as we get out before being corroded to death, there won’t be any problems, just some physical injuries at most."
"This method won’t work!" Everyone shook their heads. This way, everyone might not even find that black hole before having to come out.
Moreover, now that the Human Clan has entered the Land of Origin, no one knows what the situation inside is. If everyone rushes in recklessly and encounters any sudden situation, wouldn’t they be doomed?
"What’s the second method?" asked the Dark Main God.
"The second method is a bit more complicated." The First God said in a deep voice: "Previously, Lord Heavenly Venerate mentioned that he found a way to avoid the power inside, which is to use the Spiritual Energy inside to wrap oneself. This Spiritual Energy can isolate the corrosive power inside, so even if one enters, they won’t be corroded by it!"
"This method could work!" Everyone nodded in agreement: "Then how can we get the Spiritual Energy inside to wrap us?"
The First God shrugged: "I don’t know."
"You don’t know!?" Everyone stared wide-eyed, not understanding what he was saying.
"Lord Heavenly Venerate only told me about this method, but he didn’t explain it in detail," the First God said: "In fact, even Lord Heavenly Venerate himself didn’t know how to use that Spiritual Energy to wrap himself. He only proposed this method, then was ambushed by the Buddha and Taoist Venerable and the Human Emperor, eventually dying in battle. So he didn’t have time to specifically try it before falling."
Everyone was dumbfounded. They finally had a method, but it turned out to be in such a situation, leaving them speechless.
"So what do we do now?" a Strongest couldn’t help but ask: "First God, you proposed this method, but then said it can’t be used. Why bring it up?"
"Who said it can’t be used?" The First God said in a deep voice: "Since we have a rough idea, we can try! Although we don’t know the exact method for now, by entering the Land of Origin and attempting over and over again, we can find a specific method, can’t we? Can we find the most suitable method just by talking here all the time?"
Everyone fell silent, just as the First God said. Since they had an idea, they should try it rather than continuously discuss it here. Without trying, all discussions were meaningless.
"Then how do we try?" The Eternal Main God said in a deep voice.
The First God said: "Isn’t it obvious? We should enter the Land of Origin directly, then try to gather the Spiritual Energy inside to wrap around our bodies!"
"Is it possible for this method to succeed?" another Strongest asked: "We don’t even know the specifics of the Spiritual Energy inside. By trying recklessly, won’t there be any danger?"
