Chapter 2756: The Strongest’s Contradiction
Seeing the Saint Yuan God remain silent, the First God couldn’t help but become angry, frowning, "Saint Yuan, I’m asking you a question. Didn’t you hear me? What’s going on?"
The Saint Yuan God looked even more embarrassed and helplessly glanced at the Eternal Main God.
The Eternal Main God furrowed his brows. The First God questioning the Saint Yuan God in this manner was entirely targeting him. The Saint Yuan God was under his command. If he didn’t handle this, how would his prestige hold in the future?
But the current problem was, if he directly confronted the First God, with his current strength, it surely wasn’t enough. If it resulted in a mutual defeat, wouldn’t that benefit the Light Main God and Dark Main God?
After pondering for a moment, the Eternal Main God finally spoke, "Saint Yuan, the people who just entered don’t quite understand what happened before. Why don’t you recount the specifics so that our meeting can proceed?"
The Light Main God and the Dark Main God couldn’t help but cast a glance at the Eternal Main God. Though his words seemed grandiose, in the end, he compromised.
The Eternal Main God’s expression remained calm. He certainly wouldn’t be the first to confront the First God; it wasn’t worth letting others profit.
As for compromising once, what does it matter? It’s just a few diplomatic words, which won’t have too much impact. The crucial thing is to preserve strength, to have a chance in the forthcoming battles!
With the Eternal Main God’s words, the Saint Yuan God promptly breathed a sigh of relief. If the Eternal Main God hadn’t spoken, he alone could not withstand the pressure from the First God.
"The situation is like this..." The Saint Yuan God immediately recounted the matter of their going to the Nine Realms to seize the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet.
Upon hearing this, everyone on the side of the First God was taken aback.
Although the Heaven Slayer had claimed that their people had already retrieved the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, they hadn’t expected the retrieval to go so smoothly.
According to what they said, when they arrived, the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet had already flown out of the Demon Abyss. At the time, the Heaven Slayer intercepted the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, wanting to slash it apart, and everyone intervened to stop the Heaven Slayer.
As for the Demon Venerable Human Emperor and Palace Master Yu Ling, they merely observed from afar without taking action. From their stance, it seemed they intended to let them take the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, which was even more perplexing.
Logically, with the Human Clan holding the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, they could curb the development of the Guardian God. But then, why would the Human Clan hand over the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet? What exactly does this mean?
"Why would the Human Clan return the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet to us?" the First God frowned and asked.
The people below were silent; no one could truly answer this question.
"This group of Heavenly Warriors might have some trick up their sleeve again!" a Strongest said in a deep voice. "Looks like we need to be very cautious. These Heavenly Warriors are so crafty, and we’ve suffered so many losses before. This time, we must not be fooled again!"
Everyone nodded in agreement on this point.
"However, no matter what schemes they might have, the return of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet is the key!" the First God said in a deep voice, "By the way, why didn’t you just take back the other half of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet at that time? If the other half were returned, we could restore the complete Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet!"
"The other half of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet is with Su Yang, and those people are guarding Su Yang so tightly that not even water could leak through. If we go to seize the other half, we’re bound to have a frontal confrontation with them!" the Light Main God said in a deep voice, "Under the circumstances at that time, a frontal confrontation with them wasn’t the right choice!"
The First God gave the Light Main God a glance, "Since they were willing to return the first half of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, it means they no longer plan to keep the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet. If so, then retrieving the second half of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, they surely wouldn’t stop us. Did you not even intend to get the second half of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet at all?"
The three Main Gods all furrowed their brows. The First God’s words accused them of not retrieving the second half of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet.
"In such a situation, going to get the second half of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet was unrealistic!" the Light Main God said in a deep voice. "The Heaven Slayer stood below, as did the Human Emperor Demon Venerable and Palace Master Yu Ling. Moreover, the World Tree was within the Nine Realms. Beside the World Tree, Palace Master Yu Ling is invincible. The Heaven Slayer wielded the Heaven-Slaying Blade and had the Demon Abyss as a massive killing weapon, and furthermore, they were in the Demon Lord’s World Melting Furnace. How could we go in and get the second segment of the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet?"
"Are you afraid?" the First God asked with a cold smile.
The Light Main God erupted in anger, "First God, what do you mean by this?"
"I mean nothing; I just think you didn’t handle this matter well. Talking about the Heaven Slayer, World Melting Furnace, World Tree, all these are just illusions. The key issue is, you simply didn’t dare go in, so you didn’t retrieve the complete Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet!" the First God coldly said, "Light, you truly disappoint me!"
"First God, how dare you insult me like this!" the Light Main God roared in rage, "I disappoint you? Hmph, trapped in the Immortal Palace with the Heaven Slayer trampling over you, you didn’t dare make a sound, and even reached an agreement with the Heaven Slayer not to let the Guardian God outside target the one named Su. Doesn’t this disappoint us?"
The First God also turned livid with rage, exclaiming, "Light, in that situation, if we couldn’t leave the Immortal Palace, what did you want us to do? Let him slaughter the Guardian God outside?"
"Is it that you couldn’t leave the Immortal Palace or that you were unwilling to risk your life?" the Light Main God sneered. "First God, you should know the seal outside the Immortal Palace better than us. With your power, you can definitely get out as long as you don’t leave the Array’s range. But you watched the Heaven Slayer slaughter our Guardian God in the Array and even made an agreement with him. What was that for?"
"I could leave the Immortal Palace, but it would come at a tremendous cost. It’s not worth it for such small matters!" the First God said in a deep voice, "Now is the time for our decisive battle. I can’t exhaust my power before the decisive battle. If that happens, our strength in the decisive battle would be greatly reduced!"
"What a righteous excuse, but this doesn’t hide the fact that you watched so many Guardian Gods get slaughtered and even compromised with the Heaven Slayer!" the Light Main God coldly said, "First God, you are the one truly disappointing!"
"You..." The First God was so enraged his face turned blue, wanting nothing more than to strike down the Light Main God immediately.
