The assembled gods were quite puzzled, not understanding why Ziwei summoned them on such an ordinary day. However, out of respect for his intentions and given the urgency conveyed by the ssenger, they dared not delay.
The mont they saw Ziwei, a sense of unease gripped their hearts. Just his presence exuded an extrely oppressive atmosphere, and his expression was terrifyingly grim.
Silently, they took their designated seats, sitting upright and rigid, not daring to make any sound for fear of drawing Ziwei’s attention!
"Is everyone here?"
After a long mont, Ziwei finally spoke, but it did nothing to ease the oppressive tension in the hall.
"Your Majesty, all the gods are present except for those in seclusion or away."
"Does anyone among you know what the Demonic Tao has been up to lately?"
The people exchanged puzzled glances, wondering if the cause of such anger in the sovereign was related to the Demonic Tao.
With a severe expression and a cold tone, Ziwei said, "Not long ago, the Demonic Tao unleashed a secret spell across many regions of the Primal Spirit Realm. It’s a spell that can pollute the heavens, Spirit Veins, and living beings, and it spreads extrely fast!"
"If we can’t find a solution, it’s likely that in a few millennia, the entire Primal Spirit Realm will beco a Demon Realm! For us, that would be a severe dereliction of duty!"
Whoosh—
The hall imdiately erupted into an uproar. As gods, maintaining and nurturing the heavens is their most fundantal and primary responsibility!
If the entire Primal Spirit Realm truly becos a Demon Realm as Ziwei said, what purpose would there be for their existence?
By that ti, let alone falling into a Demon God, to preserve their lives, it’s very likely they would be struck down by a Heavenly Punishnt long before!
Even if there were gods in the future, they would erge from their corpses, not be them personally.
In an instant, all the gods were united in their stance: they must prevent this situation from occurring and not let the Demonic Tao’s plot succeed!
Seeing this, Ziwei felt sowhat satisfied. At least in the face of right and wrong, the Divine Path was not embroiled in internal conflict but was able to quickly unite.
"We do not involve ourselves in the struggles between the Demonic Tao and other factions, but since they have tainted the entire Primal Spirit Realm, it is only right that we issue a warning."
Ziwei said solemnly, "Gouchen will take the lead on this, commanding two hundred thousand gods, to guard the skies above the Western Domain as a warning to the Demonic Tao!"
"Besides this, we need to research how to resolve the pollution affecting the heavens and Spirit Veins, and gods related to purification and dispersion must remain in the Heavenly Court."
These two actions represent the primary objectives of the Divine Path, as well as the limits of what they can do.
Soon, beams of Spirit Light flew from the Heavenly Court, creating a scene akin to a teor shower even in the brightest dayti.
Blossoms grow on two branches; each blooms differently.
"Where has the Mingyao Ancestor gone?"
After Li Liangxiang temporarily arranged all affairs, he suddenly realized he hadn’t seen Li Mingyao for a long ti. Hastily, he took out the Clan Leader’s golden seal, wanting to contact him to guard the center of the family.
As the Earth God of Shanhai State, the Earth itself is his Divine Domain, naturally possessing incredibly high control. He is the first to notice changes across various regions.
But upon contacting, Li Liangxiang realized that during Li Mingyao’s absence, he had gone to the stars to seek help.
"I hope these two Ancestors can resolve this issue!" he prayed silently in his heart.
...
Due to the urgency of the situation, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo did not return to Mount Wanxian but followed Li Mingyao directly to the polluted Spirit Vein.
"The area of pollution has expanded significantly again!"
Gazing at the foul-slling, dark-infused land before him, Li Mingyao said with a frown.
Nearby, the clansn who had already arrived approached to pay their respects and greet the three ancestors.
"Can’t the Lotus Seed Skill solve the pollution here?"
After asking this question, Li Mingyao already had an answer in mind. After all, if it were effective, the pollution wouldn’t have expanded.
"No, the grade of pollution here is too high. Even with a large number of Purifying Spiritual Objects to cultivate Pure Lotus Seeds, the purification speed is nowhere near the rate of pollution."
The clansman said with a bitter expression, "We’ve tried various thods, and the only effective one so far is to plant lotus seeds in areas not yet polluted by Demonic Qi, forming a barrier."
"But this only slightly slows the spread of pollution and can’t purify the existing contamination."
Moreover, this thod only works when the polluted area is still small. Once it expands to a certain extent, there aren’t enough Pure Lotus Seeds and White Lotus Seeds available to set up a protective line!
Not to ntion, Shanhai State alone has dozens of contaminated areas.
Li Mingyao listened with a furrowed brow, observing Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo each extracting a wisp of Demonic Qi to study. He pondered and then used Divine Power to separate the polluted from the unpolluted land, attempting to use this thod to stop the spread of Demonic Qi.
But soon, he discovered that the Demonic Qi was polluting the Divine Power!
Furthermore, this power of pollution was extrely domineering and strong, and the Divine Power was being pushed back, completely outmatched!
Yet all he could do was continue to channel Divine Power to prevent the spread of Demonic Qi.
As Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo studied the Demonic Qi, their dark and grave expressions indicated that progress was not going well.
