The Spirit Devouring God explains that the Sky City must be destroyed to prevent the overflow of exhaustion energy from the Life Realm into the Death Realm. This destruction, however, would lead to the demise of Secret Spirits and halt human cultivation. The Spirit Devouring God reveals that Sky City possesses its own will and is nearly indestructible, existing across multiple dimensions and even within human memory. To destroy it, absolute eradication across all realms and memory is required. The Spirit Devouring God seeks Chen Guan's help, stating that blocking the energy flow through the Sky Garden is the only current weakness.

Chen Guan listened quietly all along, until Spirit Devouring God finished recounting, and only then did Chen Guan understand how to destroy Sky City.

Spirit Devouring God explained in a very abstract manner, but Chen Guan summarized that two conditions are necessary to destroy Sky City.

The first condition is to cut off the energy supply of Sky City, a task that can be accomplished by humans in Sky Garden.

However, the time they can hold on is very limited, and it’s uncertain how long they can persist.

The second condition involves simultaneously destroying Sky City in different timelines and dimensions, erasing it completely without leaving a trace of memory.

This is extremely difficult, but fortunately, Spirit Devouring God has found a solution.

Completely erasing Sky City is nearly impossible, but there is another method.

This method is akin to swapping reality, making it impossible to thoroughly erase beings’ memories but possible to introduce discrepancies in everyone’s recollection.

The Sky City that everyone remembers doesn’t have to be the original one.

Spirit Devouring God will burn himself, piercing through space and time with immense power, to affect the souls of all living beings in this world, replacing Sky City with Sky Garden to achieve soul memory overlay.

Then, everyone will only remember that indeed a city existed, but that city would not be Sky City, but Sky Garden.

In this way, Sky City loses all its anchors, needing only to destroy its physical structure for it to completely vanish.

Even destroying the physical structure of Sky City is not a simple task.

According to Spirit Devouring God, Sky City has seventeen Towers of the Sky, which are its foundational structures, and six of them must be completely destroyed within a certain period for Sky City to be completely destroyed.

Spirit Devouring God needs to burn himself to traverse timelines and overlay soul memories, leaving him unable to do this task, so it falls upon someone else, and Spirit Devouring God has chosen Chen Guan for it.

"Why choose me? I am just an ordinary human cultivator who hasn’t reached the ultimate awareness." Chen Guan pondered.

"Because your body contains my blood. It’s not that I trust you, but rather I trust myself, even if it’s just a single drop of my blood, it is unmatched by others." Spirit Devouring God said calmly.

This comment made Chen Guan somewhat uncomfortable, feeling it was too pretentious.

But undeniably, Spirit Devouring God is indeed an immensely powerful existence, and currently, Chen Guan is indeed not as strong as him.

"This concerns the survival of two worlds, you need to prepare well and find enough helpers." Spirit Devouring God pointed a finger, and countless information instantly flooded into Chen Guan’s mind.

This information was surprisingly detailed about Sky City, including key details of the six Towers of the Sky.

The six Towers of the Sky are "Tower of Life", "Tower of Destiny", "Tower of Death", "Tower of Nothingness", "Tower of Truth", and "Tower of the Sky".

Each Tower of the Sky possesses its own unique powers or rather terrifying capabilities, and trying to destroy these six Towers of the Sky within a short period cannot be accomplished by Chen Guan alone.

According to Spirit Devouring God’s plan, on the day of Sky Secret Spirit’s arrival, the gathered Sky Secret Spirits will suppress Sky City, and Chen Guan just needs to lead people to destroy these six Towers of the Sky.

Why Sky Secret Spirits can’t undertake this mission is because their bodies, unlike humans, are unable to endure the pollution of depletion energy.

To destroy the Towers of the Sky, one must enter inside to destroy its core.

Inside these six Towers of the Sky, because of ages of accumulation, they are filled with depletion energy, making this a task only suited for humans.

This affair does not solely concern Chen Guan, he can’t possibly do it by himself.

Fortunately, Spirit Devouring God has already agreed to let Chen Guan choose humans to enter the Celestial Secret Realm for cultivation, and open Void Secret Realm resources for them to rapidly grow.

Now Chen Guan’s task is to pick people, and he hardly hesitates, the Celestial Kings immediately made it onto his list.

Ji Changsheng and King of Palace are right here, Spirit Devouring God can directly hand them to Chen Guan.

However, King of Palace is filtering depletion energy, requiring the energy to decrease to a certain level before those Great Qin Iron Cavalry and other humans can have a period of free movement, only then can they be handed to Chen Guan.

Chen Guan was surprised to hear that those Great Qin Iron Cavalry and other humans could still wake up; he originally thought these humans had already become tools, void of their own will.

"Others have periods of time every so often when they can freely allocate their time, except for him..." Spirit Devouring God’s finger pointed at Emperor Ancestor, continuing: "He is connected to Sky City’s transmission hub, cannot leave for a moment, this is also the fundamental reason others have a period of free time, it is his own choice."

Chen Guan looked at Emperor Ancestor within the Black Lotus, praising inwardly: "Truly worthy of Emperor Ancestor."

Indeed, at the time Spirit Devouring God mentioned, those seemingly puppet-like humans all woke up.

They got up to move, either communicating or resting, each doing their own thing, indistinguishable from normal people.

Yet there was a clear ominous aura surrounding them, deterring others from getting close.

Spirit Devouring God had already left, Chen Guan did not go directly to King of Palace but communicated with those humans.

Among these people, there are members of the Great Qin Iron Cavalry and strong figures from other generations.

After conversing with them, Chen Guan can roughly confirm what Spirit Devouring God said was indeed correct; among them, some voluntarily, some forcibly remained here to filter depletion energy.

According to the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, Emperor Ancestor indeed ordered them to be stationed here, Emperor Ancestor also volunteered to guard Sky City’s hub.

Chen Guan verified from various angles, confirming there were no issues, planning to return to Divine Land, he must find helpers to destroy the Towers of the Sky.

Each Tower of the Sky has different characteristics, and it’s fair to say that the Tower of the Sky itself is comparable to extremely terrifying Secret Spirits, even more terrifying than top-level Sky Secret Spirits, combined with the Towers of the Sky being filled with depletion energy inside, ordinary people cannot hope to destroy them.

Chen Guan plans to personally handle one Tower of the Sky, while the other five towers need other people to tackle.

Ideally, all ten Celestial Kings would go, and aside from the ten Celestial Kings, Chen Guan intends to invite several others, whether they agree or not will be up to them.

If they refuse, then he may have to ask Spirit Devouring God to bring them along.

Others are negotiable, but there are a few whom Chen Guan absolutely must take.
