Chapter 2997 - 2997: Soul Eater? Demon? Faceless?

After sealing all five of these people, Su Yang then sent the array into the World Tree.

The World Tree is part of Su Yang's soul, and he can clearly know what is happening inside it.

Sealing these five people inside the World Tree can prevent them from contacting life outside, and it allows Su Yang to monitor them in case of any unexpected situations.

After dealing with the matters of these five people properly, Su Yang finally had time to ask the Human Emperor about what had happened.

The previous situation, the Human Emperor had already explained.

After they found the fifth possessed strongest being, they were completely trapped here.

They never managed to catch up to that person.

However, the Human Emperor suspected that the matter of the white light shadows is inextricably linked to that person.

Because they were chasing this person all the way here.

And along the route this person passed, in places with life, these incidents of white light shadows possessing strong beings would occur.

Therefore, the Human Emperor suspected that this person is likely one of the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable.

It was him who deployed these white light shadows onto these planets, allowing them to possess those strongest beings.

Upon hearing this, Su Yang couldn't help but be moved.

If it truly is the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable personally doing this, then they may not just limit their actions to this one place, and might do similar things in many other places.

If their aim is to deal with the Human Clan, then they surely won't just deploy these white light shadows in one place, but will surely deploy them elsewhere too.

That means the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable will deploy these white light shadows around the Human Clan's stronghold, forming a siege.

Once the siege of the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable is formed, the Human Clan will be in danger.

If these strongest beings who have lost their minds gather to besiege the Human Clan, what chance does the Human Clan have to resist?

Just like the Human Emperor and others, now a dozen people besieging these five possessed strongest beings almost suffered great losses.

If the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable were allowed to cultivate more such strongest beings, wouldn't it mean the end for the Human Clan?

Thinking of this, Su Yang was suddenly shocked.

"No, we must return quickly!" Su Yang said in a deep voice.

The Human Emperor was surprised: "Su Alliance Leader, that person is still ahead; he will definitely continue to deploy these white light shadows."

"Shouldn't we try to stop him to prevent him from continuing to harm other worlds' lives?"

Su Yang shook his head: "There's no time."

"Our speed in stopping them definitely cannot match his speed in deploying."

"He can deploy these white light shadows effortlessly. But, it's difficult for us to stop these possessed strongest beings."

"It is unrealistic for us to chase him."

"But once they cultivate too many such strongest beings, then our Human Clan will really be in trouble!"

Upon hearing this, the Human Emperor's complexion changed too, as he also realized this.

The Human Emperor immediately nodded: "Su Alliance Leader, you are correct, we must return quickly!"

Confuser looked into the distance: "Then... what about the other lives?"

Confuser himself is one of those resurrected lives, and on his planet, countless lives have been revived.

If such shadows are deployed in his world, how many people can survive?

He's naturally more worried about the resurrected lives in the Great World!

The Human Emperor shook his head: "Now it's not about whether we want to save them; the key is we simply don't have the ability to save them!"

"Just as Su Alliance Leader said, our speed in stopping them definitely cannot quickly match their speed in deploying white shadows."

"We simply can't stop them, but they can cultivate more such strongest beings, putting the Human Clan completely at a disadvantage."

"Therefore, we must think of another way, instead of passively chasing and stopping them, doing things without meaning!"

Confuser sighed, looking blankly into the distance: "This way, I don't know how many innocent lives will die at the hands of these white shadows!"

The Human Emperor also sighed, naturally understanding Confuser's feelings. But now it's not about whether they want to do it or not, but whether they can do it.

If they really had the ability, they would definitely strive to save them.

But the problem is, they don't have the strength to do this, so how can they save them?

In the end, everyone, led by Su Yang, rushed back to the Human Clan stronghold first.

Continuing to chase forward will only bring back a few more strongest beings possessed by white shadows, but nothing else of any significance.

However, if they don't hurry back to the Human Clan stronghold, once the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable's plan succeeds and those possessed strongest beings surround them, it will be too late to do anything.

Through the Chaos, everyone soon returned to the Human Clan stronghold.

The Human Clan stronghold is now under tight defense. As Su Yang and others returned, everyone was delighted and came over to inquire about the situation outside.

Su Yang briefly told them about the outside situation, and everyone's complexion also changed.

"Soul Eaters?" Wan Du suddenly said: "The black shadows you mentioned, those seem to exist in our world too."

"What?" Su Yang's complexion changed quickly; this situation is more complex than he expected.

Wan Du nodded: "It should be the same thing as the Soul Eaters you mentioned and the demons Confuser mentioned."

"In our world, these things are called Faceless Ones because they have no entity and it's unknown what they look like; hence the name!"

After Wan Du finished, several people around him also spoke up to indicate that their worlds had similar existences.

Su Yang took a cold breath; he originally thought these worlds didn't have anything in common. The only common part was the spiritual energy of Heavenly Dao and Earth Principle, just that.

But he didn't expect these worlds to have such a similar point, which is the Soul Eaters!

And these Soul Eaters were surely given by the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable to the Guardian God.

That means it is thoroughly confirmed that the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable did indeed exist before the birth of their World Tree.

Moreover, the existence of the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable is indeed long-standing, passing through many civilizations of World Trees, which are countless ages.

In those World Trees, the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable deployed black shadows similar to the Soul Eaters.

However, the strength of these black shadows is not powerful enough to have the strength to resist the strongest beings like the white shadows. So, these black shadows remain controllable and haven't caused much destruction.
