But unexpectedly, the Abyss Will would resort to this trick...
"Do you think the Heavenly Dao would do this?"
Liang Yi gritted his teeth and stared intently at Uncle Ju, even though it didn't seem like Heavenly Dao intended to do so right now, who could be clear about the future?
Gu Chengan could not have predicted that he would be devoured, right?
"I don't know..."
Uncle Ju closed his eyes and shook his head, he truly didn't know.
Reincarnation is essentially stripping his self-consciousness away and throwing it into the wheel of life, and to prevent this world from collapsing, he left behind a pure Divine Soul, hence Uncle Ju couldn't predict what would happen.
Not hearing the answer he wanted, Liang Yi clenched his fists tightly.
Just when the situation was slowly improving in a good direction, Uncle Ju suddenly made this statement, forcing Liang Yi to once again feel the crisis, and even more intense than before!
Beside him, Su Youyi clutched her senior brother's hand tightly, constantly pondering the consequences of this matter.
They certainly knew their master very well; if they asked their master, Chen Hua, to sacrifice his self willingly to be devoured by Heavenly Dao to save the people, their master would probably unsheath his sword without a second word.
Even facing the Heavenly Dao, Chen Hua wouldn't sit waiting for death. Whether he could defeat it or not, he would fight first.
But if it were to be about sacrificing himself to make the Heavenly Dao stronger, and in doing so, protecting their master's wife Zhou Ruanxian and his senior brother, their master might actually be willing to do so.
Preventing this kind of thing from happening is simple, which is to win this war or for the master himself to ascend to the Tenth Realm.
If they win this war, the Abyss Will would lose a significant amount of the World Origin, and its strength would be greatly weakened.
And if the master ascends to the Tenth Realm, he could cooperate with the Heavenly Dao to directly eliminate the Abyss Will.
"So now there's a reason we must become stronger?"
Liang Yi gave a bitter smile, not expecting such a turn of events.
As for why the Abyss hadn't tried to devour Cultivators of Great Perfection in the Ninth Realm before, Liang Yi also had some guesses.
Observing the human world and condensing human emotions into its own is, after all, just an instinct of Heavenly Dao; without ever trying, naturally, they wouldn't know the outcome.
Abyss Will is a part of the Heavenly Dao that was corrupted, so after being split off, it subconsciously continued using the method of the Heavenly Dao, hence the birth of Abyss Cultivators.
Now Liang Yi didn't know what specific change had occurred, possibly Gu Chengan was facing the situation of being erased from the mind, and in a desperate gamble, he was devoured by the Abyss Will; or perhaps the Abyss Will felt Gu Chengan was rebellious and decided to devour him all at once.
In any case, various factors combined under mistaken assumptions, leading to today's situation.
The success of the Abyss Will correspondingly also gave Heavenly Dao a path to trial and succeeded, causing the Heavenly Dao to not only stick to condensing mortal emotions into its own, but also to create a new option.
Liang Yi cursed inwardly.
Originally a good situation, the presence of players, the master's progress, the continuous loss of the World Origin of the Abyss World, and the growth of the prodigies of the Mystical Mechanism Continent, all these factors added up to mean the longer they could drag it out, the more advantageous the situation would be for them.
But the Abyss suddenly coming up with this plan is a complete turnaround!
The longer it dragged on, the stronger the Abyss Will became, and once it reached a certain level, it might even defeat the Heavenly Dao in a direct confrontation.
At that time, if Mystical Mechanism Continent had no new Tenth Realm, then even if there were many Cultivators of Great Perfection in the Ninth Realm, they would still be unable to reverse the situation.
"It's okay, didn't Chen Hua have a new insight recently? Now he's just a step away from the Tenth Realm, right?"
Grand Saint of Nine Spirits scratched his head, he and his generation who were contemporaries with Chen Hua knew just how astonishing Chen Hua's talent was.
From the time they knew each other, Chen Hua had been continuously surpassing their expectations, and previously, he alone delayed the descent of the Abyss for several years, buying them extremely precious time, so now Grand Saint of Nine Spirits also had great confidence in Chen Hua.
Liang Yi silently estimated in his heart; he was only level 81 now, still quite far from level 100, and the experience needed from level 81 to 100 was even more than the total experience from level 0 to 81.
Although his authority had been upgraded again and the speed of acquiring experience had significantly increased, obtaining massive amounts of experience from players daily,
but to bridge this gap in a short time would be difficult, and would probably require a not-so-short amount of time.
If it was said that they could wait slowly before, now Liang Yi didn't know how long it would take anymore, only that the faster, the better.
"Where should we get so much experience from then?"
Feeling her senior brother's anxiety and the coldness of his body, Su Youyi couldn't help but squeeze her senior brother's palm, wanting to convey her warmth to him.
For this situation, Su Youyi had no good solution either, mainly because the time they had to grow was just too short, if they could have had an additional five to ten years to grow, they could have directly invaded the home of the Abyss now.
"He won't reach the Tenth Realm."
Hearing the naïve words of Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, who would have thought that Uncle Ju would directly pour cold water on them.
Liang Yi almost rolled up his sleeves to strangle Uncle Ju; couldn't this guy say something positive today? Why did every sentence he say seem more discouraging than the last?
