Chapter 860: Chapter 12: The Great Demon Venerable’s Threat (Part 2)
His only role was to help Dong Yu raise the ceiling.
Therefore, even without him, there would be corresponding means to break the impasse.
For example, when a Great Demon attacks, it just so happens that the Yuan Family’s Great Heavenly Venerate assists, quite a coincidence.
Wang Sheng’s Divine Thought covered Guiyuan Star, finally focusing his gaze on the three Ten Realms powerhouses on Guiyuan Star.
“You two, is it really necessary to do this? As long as Dong Yu has time, we from Guiyuan Star can definitely soar to the skies, cough, cough…” The speaker was very agitated, even coughing twice, which should not have happened to a Ten Realms powerhouse; it was because he was seriously injured. He was the Yuan Family’s Great Heavenly Venerate, known as Yuan Heavenly Venerate Yuan Yu.
“Yuan Yu, those who have not risen do not count as powerhouses.” The speaker was the Lan Family’s Great Heavenly Venerate, Lan Qing, his voice very cold.
The last speaker, Qi Family’s Great Heavenly Venerate Qi Xu also spoke: “Yuan Yu, I know you’re thinking of that genius from your family, but this person is different, you should also be able to see, he is not forcefully intercepting energy, according to the previous speculation, he should have contacted the Starry Sky Rules, you know how tempting this is.”
“Precisely because of this, he must be protected, he will surely rise, become a powerhouse, especially since he has the backing of an unknown Lifeless True Saint behind him…”
“No one knows if the Lifeless True Saint really exists, alright Yuan Yu, since you’re hurt, you shouldn’t get involved in the upcoming matters…”
The three Ten Realms Great Heavenly Venerates, two chose to explore Dong Yu’s secrets.
The reason is quite simple.
That’s the Starry Sky Rules, something only the supreme powerhouses can touch.
They were truly tempted.
As for the Lifeless True Saint… no one can be sure of its authenticity, let alone they didn’t plan to directly confront Dong Yu.
If the Great Demon strikes, and we don’t arrive in time, can you blame us?
As for returning to Guiyuan Star?
In fact, Dong Yu has already encountered issues.
Others can normally go back through interdimensional passages.
But Dong Yu cannot.
“Mr. Dong Yu, you do not meet the Guiyuan Star safety regulations, therefore you cannot enter the interdimensional passage, please return!”
The person in charge of guarding the passage was also a Seventh Realm powerhouse.
Not as strong as Dong Yu.
But Dong Yu didn’t argue much.
Therefore, what the person mentioned about safety regulations was true.
This was also to ensure the safety of everyone on Guiyuan Star, if faced with something that might cause a massive disaster to the indigenous land of Guiyuan Star, returning to Guiyuan Star is not allowed.
Guiyuan Star used to be very difficult, always being cautious for survival, forced to set this rule.
Until later, as the Conquest Sect gradually stabilized the situation, this rule slowly faded from sight.
But it was never abolished.
And now, indeed, he triggered the safety regulations.
But Dong Yu also knew, this rule, as long as it doesn’t bring a strike to the indigenous land of Guiyuan Star, Guiyuan Star would provide maximum support.
So most Guiyuan Star people can understand.
After all, under the starry sky, a little carelessness, and you’d be wiped out.
It’s not hard for strong people to destroy stars.
And now, he’s clear that he won’t receive any support.
He is like fish on a chopping board.
Dong Yu knew this, Yuan Yu knew this too.
In the end, the three Great Heavenly Venerates parted in discontent.
The Lan Family and Qi Family Great Heavenly Venerates left together, only Yuan Yu wore a sullen face.
“It seems, this time, I can only rely on myself…”
As he spoke, the weakness on his body vanished, looking entirely uninjured.
Wang Sheng naturally could also see Yuan Yu’s state, he knew, perhaps this was Dong Yu’s way through the calamity.
Of course, even if he gets through the calamity himself, Yuan Yu’s fate might not be pleasant.
“Given the previous state, Yuan Yu would definitely face two or even three Ten Realms Great Demon Venerables alone… The other two Great Heavenly Venerates might stand by, only acting at the end when no one benefits.”
Even without using Fate Skill to foresee, he could guess some things.
“But since I’m involved, things can’t go down this path!”
However, just as Wang Sheng was about to contact Dong Yu, he noticed that his faith in the old land was starting to decline.
He quickly understood what had happened.
The matter of Dong Yu being prevented from returning to Guiyuan Star spread quickly.
The Lifeless Sect originally had many potential believers.
They saw something amiss and combined with what Dong Yu was facing, they knew, most likely Dong Yu was abandoned by Guiyuan Star, so many shallow believers chose to leave to ensure their safety.
When believers leave, it’s not something even Wang Sheng can stop.
Because faith is something, if you don’t believe, you just don’t, it’s more of a spiritual matter.
After discovering Dong Yu’s situation, many whose faith wasn’t strong to begin with and just wanted shelter, even if not openly leaving the Lifeless Sect, their faint faith severed instantly.
“So realistic… but perhaps this is a good thing.”
Wang Sheng couldn’t stop it, nor did he want to.
“With these believers leaving, those who remain have extremely steadfast faith, and after I take action, these beings’ faith will rise to a new level, so even without further expansion, relying on their faith can help me send the Space Secret Treasure back…”
Returning to the sect’s base, Dong Yu was actually also anxious inside.
According to this trend, the Lifeless Sect, established over fifty years ago, would quickly dissolve.
He had already noticed that many in the sect wanted to leave, whether from high or low levels.
And just then, Wang Sheng contacted him.
“Do not hurry, do not fear, continue as you are, I will step in if necessary.”
Dong Yu instantly recognized it was Mr. Wang’s voice, possibly the voice of the Lifeless True Saint, he immediately voiced his concerns:
“Mr. Wang, within the sect, many are already thinking about leaving…”
“It’s fine, if they want to leave, let them, don’t stop them, forcible faith is meaningless.”
Those with profound faith can vaguely sense the Lifeless True Saint, which is him, they wouldn’t choose to leave at all.
Because they know, the True Saint genuinely exists within their sect.
But it’s hard for them to explain.
When telling those who couldn’t sense it, they simply think those with strong faith have been “brainwashed.”
Dong Yu also understood Wang Sheng’s meaning.
Having received the method of handling it, his heart calmed down instantly.
If that’s the case, just let it flow naturally!
The next day, a senior member came over.
He was a Seventh Realm powerhouse, a famous Loose Cultivator.
Joining the Lifeless Sect was simply to use its power to gather resources.
“Sect Hierarch, I want to exit the Lifeless Sect.”
Dong Yu wasn’t surprised, but still said: “Are you really not planning to stay? This time, the Lifeless True Saint will take action.”
The man was dismissive, he’d heard this from many Lifeless Sect believers, all of them deeply faithful beings.
He didn’t believe it at all.
If the Lifeless True Saint could truly contend with a powerhouse like a Great Demon Venerable, how could the Lifeless Sect remain secluded, even being targeted by Guiyuan Star?
“Sect Hierarch, my mind is made up…”
Dong Yu sighed, saying: “If that’s the case, then as you wish!”
As this Seventh Realm powerhouse exited, more people chose to leave.
Those who formally informed were seen as courteous, more just fled back to Guiyuan Star.
After all, everyone knew that soon a Great Demon Venerable from the Devouring Sect would appear here.
Is there any better time to run than now?
However, every former member of the Lifeless Sect attempting to return underwent rigorous scrutiny.
It wasn’t due to fear of Dong Yu mingling, but to prevent Dong Yu from carrying away his secrets.
This only strengthened some people’s resolve to leave.
In less than a month, the Lifeless Sect had over half of its members leave.
Those remaining either had bitter feuds with the Devouring Sect world or were true believers.
Another month went by, and the Great Demon Venerable descended.
As if the aura of devouring the world spread across the whole Border Starry Sky…
