Chapter 2967 - 2967: Heroic Volunteers

Su Yang ultimately selected a few cultivators who truly couldn't level up anymore, deciding to use their lives to fuse with the power of those strongest beings.

Such a choice was filled with helplessness.

After all, the crisis of the Human Clan had not yet been resolved, and the Human Clan needed to be in the best state of strength to fight the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable.

Even though these people had no chance to become the strongest, those cultivators unable to level up were already destined to contribute little in this great war.

In fact, their circumstances meant that in the cruel Great World, if they lost the protection of others, they would not survive.

Keeping them around was not of much use. Using their lives to resurrect those strongest beings was relatively suitable.

Although doing so was cruel, Su Yang had no other choice.

In the current situation, only such a brutal choice could be made.

After selecting these individuals, Su Yang asked them about their final wishes.

Most people were already disheartened, having no wishes left, except for a small portion who still had wishes.

Some wished to return to their previous world and have a look, while others had attachments and hoped that if Su Yang got the chance, he could resurrect the ones they cherished most.

Su Yang noted them down one by one, and those that could be fulfilled were realized immediately.

For those that could not be fulfilled, Su Yang also kept them in his heart.

Su Yang remembered everything about these people.

He didn't have the ability now, but he remembered what the Heavenly Sect said.

Obtaining the Source of Heaven and Earth could enable resurrection.

Remembering everything about these people would prompt Su Yang to find a way to resurrect them if he ever had the fortune to touch the Source of Heaven and Earth.

After completing everything, Su Yang began to use these individuals to fuse with the power of those strongest beings.

Although this method had been tried before, this time Su Yang was exceedingly cautious to prevent any accidents.

After spending about a dozen years, Su Yang finally fused all the power of those strongest beings.

These people entered the realm of the strongest beings, initially retaining their memories as the memories of those strongest beings had not yet awakened.

Over the course of ten-plus years, the memories of the strongest beings gradually awoke, and the original memories of these people began to be erased.

Su Yang watched quietly, like a bystander, yet his heart was in pain.

The recovery of these strongest beings' memories signified the gradual disappearance of the memories of the original people.

Those memories were their evidence of existence in this world.

In other words, the previous people were disappearing, bit by bit, while others could do nothing to help them.

Though they were willing, the event was marked by an overwhelming tragedy.

Not only was Su Yang touched, but even other strongest beings of the Human Clan were deeply moved witnessing the scene.

Such a feeling of watching them disappear gradually but being unable to help was truly distressing!

After several decades, most of the strongest beings' memories were restored.

Among them, a small part never regained the memories of their original strongest being.

It seemed it was just as Su Yang had speculated.

Some strongest beings, even their memories were erased by those Guardian God after being slain.

Even if their strongest energy was fused with other people, they could not be revived.

That's why Su Yang was reluctant to use Guardian God to fuse with the energy of those strongest beings; once the memories were erased, the previous strongest beings could not be resurrected.

In other words, it would be equivalent to cultivating a Guardian God-level strongest being, not advantageous to the Human Clan.

The few members of the Human Clan who were not erased managed to escape death. Moreover, they acquired the cultivation of the strongest, which turned out to be their greatest fortune.

Witnessing firsthand how their former companions' memories were erased bit by bit, leading to their eventual disappearance, left them equally burdened with a heavy heart.

They did not regret their decision, for it was their own choice.

Their only hatred was towards the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable; it was their ambition that led to the Integration of Ten Thousand Realms, ultimately causing their world, their loved ones, their friends, and those they cared about to be lost.

Those who were with them together were gone, all because of the ambition of the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable.

Because of this, their hatred towards the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable grew even fiercer!

Once everyone had fully recovered, the injuries of the strongest beings of the Human Clan were mostly healed.

Su Yang gathered everyone together and explained the matters regarding the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable.

Though the Guardian God was defeated, the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable remained, posing the greatest threat to the Human Clan.

Now, they had to proceed to stop the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable.

This battle would be more difficult than the previous one against the Guardian God, and ruthlessly so.

According to the Heavenly Sect, the strength of the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable is not weak.

Prior encounters didn't result in their deaths; instead, they intentionally used the hands of the Human Clan to perish and shed their former selves, heading to the Land of Origin to absorb the Source of Heaven and Earth.

Thus, the true power of the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable is anything but simple.

Even with a multitude of strongest beings among the Human Clan, the cost of dealing with them remained uncertain!

After briefly discussing the matters concerning the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable, Su Yang led everyone directly toward the Land of Origin.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Origin.

The Heavenly Sect carried the heavily injured First God, struggling to enter the Land of Origin.

Now, entering the Land of Origin was not easy due to the restrictions set by the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable.

Heavenly Sect managed to enter carrying the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, albeit expending significant effort.

Upon reaching the center of the Land of Origin, Heavenly Sect caught sight of the black hole from a distance.

The vines emanating from the black hole still stretched into the Source of Heaven and Earth, absorbing its energy as before.

Heavenly Sect swiftly flew over, landing beneath the black hole, and shouted loudly, "Lord Heavenly Venerate, save us!"

"We fell into Su Yang's trap, the Guardian God suffered a miserable defeat, and they are about to attack!"

The black hole trembled, causing four coffins to fly out.

Initially, there were seven coffins, but with three smashed by Su Yang, only four remained.

The Seven Great Heavenly Venerable lay hidden inside these four coffins, shielding against the corrosive power of the black hole.

One of the coffins opened a small slit, letting out a cold voice.

"Heavenly Sect, we created the Integration of Ten Thousand Realms, buying you ample time."

"And taught you the method of fusing the power of the strongest beings, aiding you to cultivate them!"

"Yet, you couldn't even defeat those powerless Humans, how dare you show up here?"
