God of Pets Chapter 977: The City Within the Story
Previously on God of Pets...
Chen Guan didn’t speak, he just looked at the Emperor Ancestor in the black lotus.
All of this was just the one-sided words of the Spirit Devouring God, so how could it prove that what he said was true?
Information that hasn’t been personally verified, Chen Guan didn’t dare to fully believe.
Moreover, there is a very serious issue here, according to the Spirit Devouring God, every arrival of the Sky Secret Spirit is for energy harvest, as the support for the Celestial Secret Realm.
Is it necessary to cleanse both humans and the Earth Secret Spirit for energy harvest? Why destroy the original civilization and start over?
In comparison, Chen Guan finds the experimental statement known to the ordinary Sky Secret Spirit to sound more reasonable.
The Spirit Devouring God seemed to have the ability to see through hearts, calmly said: "The reason why each energy harvest requires clearing the vast majority of humans and Earth Secret Spirits is because, due to the prolonged existence of the Yellow Springs River and Nether Sea, most humans and Earth Secret Spirits have undergone mutations, and when such mutations reach a certain degree, they eventually become sources of exhaustion energy infection, much like living corpses, not only lack their own thoughts but also spread exhaustion pollution everywhere, if left unchecked, the entire Earth Secret Realm would be contaminated."
"Whenever humans and Earth Secret Spirits are polluted and mutated to a certain extent, they need to be cleaned, leaving only a small portion of humans with peculiar mutations possessing exhaustion resistance to continue breeding new humans..."
Chen Guan looked at the Spirit Devouring God, he had already spoken to this extent, Chen Guan knew he couldn’t remain silent.
Even if Chen Guan said nothing, the Spirit Devouring God probably wouldn’t easily let him leave.
"According to your statement, humans can filter pollution, so where does the filtered exhaustion energy go? If it accumulates in humans’ bodies, then when these humans’ bodies reach their limits, how are they supposed to be dealt with?" Chen Guan asked the Spirit Devouring God.
"This is the real problem to be solved, humans have mutated generation after generation, to this generation, the body’s immunity to exhaustion energy is already strong, yet it still can’t achieve absolute immunity."
The Spirit Devouring God looked at the Emperor Ancestor in the black lotus and said: "Even he, with the strongest immunity, after nearly a thousand years of accumulation, too much exhaustion energy exists within his body, and there’s still no way to avoid contamination, their ability to persist won’t last much longer."
"Now that they are here filtering exhaustion energy, once they’re gone, the exhaustion energy will erupt more violently, it’ll become completely unmanageable by then, and the two worlds will mutually affect each other, both eventually becoming polluted, leaving no place fit for survival."
"To fundamentally solve this issue, there’s only one way." The Spirit Devouring God’s gaze was resolute.
"Destroy the Sky City?" Chen Guan thought it too.
"Exactly, only by destroying Sky City, stopping the Life Realm’s energy from flowing into the Death Realm, can the exhaustion area in the Life Realm cease to increase, and the Death Realm need not worry about exhaustion pollution. However, there’s a downside; without the influx of energy from the Life Realm, the Death Realm lacks energy itself, and as the energy within the Death Realm gradually depletes, Secret Spirits will gradually perish, humans will also gradually lose the foundation for cultivation, losing the potential to become cultivators."
The Spirit Devouring God paused and said: "Though in this state, humans sacrifice greatly, yet compared to complete exhaustion of both worlds, at least humans can continue to live, which is more important than anything."
"For so many generations, you haven’t destroyed the Sky City, is there a problem?" Chen Guan thought this was indeed the only way out, although cultivating would no longer be possible, yet survival is more crucial than anything."
"The difficulty lies in the fact that the Sky City itself possesses its own will, it seems as if it’s just a city, but in reality, it should be called a god, the supreme existence in this world, not even my power can truly harm it, let alone have the ability to destroy it."
The Spirit Devouring God’s gaze intensely focused on the Sky City beneath the Sky Garden: "Not just me, even with the combined forces of all the Sky Secret Spirits, its foundation can’t be shaken."
"Throughout the endless years, I’ve tried countless ways to destroy it, today is the closest possibility, if this opportunity is missed, perhaps there won’t be another chance."
"On top of Sky City, I’ve built a Sky Garden, gathering people from various generations here, besides filtering and purifying energy, there’s another crucial role, which is to control the energy operation of Sky City."
"Now, this Sky Garden has become a part of Sky City, if energy gets blocked when passing through here, Sky City will lose energy supply, that’s when it’s at its weakest, and most likely to be destroyed."
"Even so, relying solely on my power isn’t enough to destroy it quickly, and your human ancestors can only block the energy operation for a very limited time; after all, this is the power of a world, beyond human capability, and they are using their lives as a price to buy us time. We must destroy Sky City swiftly, so I need help."
The Spirit Devouring God, having said this, directed his gaze at Chen Guan.
"Me? Even you can’t do it, what good would my meager strength be?" Chen Guan declined.
"Not just you, I need more human help." The Spirit Devouring God pointed below at Sky City: "Sky City itself is almost eternal and indestructible, even if it’s ruined to particles or even to void, it can still be restored, or, common destruction only destroys its present form, yet it still exists in more dimensional spaces, hence not truly destroyed."
"This is hard to explain, you can understand it as a kind of multi-dimensional or high-dimensional existence, it simultaneously exists in different time-spaces, you can view these time-spaces as parallel space-time, or temporal branches, or past and future, in sum, to destroy it, you must completely erase it, only destroying the current Sky City is meaningless."
"If explained, you can think of it as a city existing within a story, when you read the story, this city exists within the story itself, even if you burn the book recording the story, the book isn’t singular, burning one book is useless."
"The terrifying part is, even if you burn all books containing the story, the city within the story will still exist in the minds of those who’ve seen the story, through word of mouth, as long as someone knows about it, it can persist."
"Even if everyone knowing the story dies, among the living, no one knows the story or the city within it, yet as long as those who knew the story are remembered, the city isn’t destroyed, it can still resurrect from memory."
"To destroy it, absolute eradication is necessary, whether it’s now, past, future, or multi-dimensional space and human memory, all must be thoroughly erased to truly destroy it."
