Chapter 2998 - 2998: They Are Training Black Shadow

Without a doubt, these black shadows are all the handiwork of the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable!

The only thing Su Yang couldn't figure out was, what exactly are the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable trying to do?

In the previous World Tree, they released these black shadows — what was their plan?

The previous World Tree, the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable didn't interfere much.

They didn't create the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, didn't nurture the Guardian God, did nothing at all; why did they still release those black shadows?

What is their purpose?

His mind was filled with confusion, but Su Yang knew very well that these questions could only be answered by the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable.

Wan Du took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Su Alliance Leader, the Faceless are extremely terrifying."

"In our world, only those who have reached the Earth Level or above can eliminate the Faceless."

"Therefore, in our world, wherever the Faceless go, destruction follows."

"Moreover, on some planets without Earth-level cultivators stationed there, once the Faceless arrive, it causes widespread devastation and annihilates all life!"

"Fortunately, we discovered it in time, and with all the strongest from our World Tree, we led countless Heavenly Level and Earth-level cultivators to sweep across all Great Worlds to eliminate all Faceless."

"Despite that, a few slipped through the net, causing destruction on several planets."

"We spent many long years to nearly eradicate the Faceless."

"Otherwise, if the Faceless became strong, it's uncertain how much life could survive in our worlds!"

Those around him nodded, as similar situations had occurred in their world as well. Everyone held intense loathing for these black shadows.

Su Yang was moved in his heart, he looked at Wan Du: "You mentioned earlier, in your world, at the Earth-level realm, you can eliminate the Faceless?"

Wan Du nodded: "Indeed!"

Su Yang then looked at the others: "What about in your worlds?"

The others began to reply, but the answers varied.

Some worlds required Earth-level, some Heavenly Level, while others needed the Saint Emperor Realm to eliminate the Faceless!

Even they were puzzled as to why the strength of the black shadows varied among different World Trees.

Wan Du murmured: "Could it be that the black shadows we're talking about are not the same thing?"

Everyone was similarly perplexed and curious about this matter.

At this moment, Su Yang spoke: "Not necessarily."

"I think the black shadows we're referring to are indeed the same thing."

"It's just that their strength varies in different periods."

Everyone exchanged glances, all surprised.

"Different periods, different strengths?"

"How can that be?"

The Confuser questioned curiously.

Su Yang glanced at him and said softly: "We can think from another angle: these black shadows are cultivated by the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable."

"However, their strength is very weak, requiring gradual cultivation to slowly become strong."

"And the strength of these black shadows varies within different World Trees."

"Meaning, their strength actually evolves gradually, through the nurturing of various World Tree civilizations."

"In every World Tree civilization, the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable have been training these black shadows, enhancing their strength."

"Their strength increases generation by generation, resulting in different strengths at different times."

Everyone suddenly realized, Wan Du said: "That makes sense to me now."

"No wonder these black shadows have varying strengths in different World Trees, it's this situation!"

The others also nodded repeatedly, and the Human Emperor laughed: "If that's the case, then we can conveniently discern which World Tree civilization is earlier and which one is later!"

Everyone laughed heartily — indeed, through this point, they could really determine their order of appearance.

Su Yang didn't speak, as he was more focused on contemplating this matter.

Wan Du glanced at Su Yang and said in a low voice: "Su Alliance Leader, if what you say is true, then are these white shadows the ultimate result cultivated by the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable?"

"Actually, the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable have been nurturing these black shadows to confront the strongest of the Human Clan."

"These white shadows are their ultimate achievement, gradually enhancing strength until it reaches the level to confront the strongest!"

Everyone was stunned; if that were true, the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable would indeed be terrifying.

Su Yang shook his head: "I don't think that's the case."

"If that were true, then how would you explain the matter of Overlapping Space?"

"Undoubtedly, Overlapping Space should be used to seal these white shadows."

"And the creator of Overlapping Space likely isn't much weaker than the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable. I suspect this is what the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable have always feared."

"Thus, the white shadows are actually sealed by this person."

"And I suspect that the black shadows of the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable were created based on the white shadows."

"However, the strength of the black shadows far fails to reach the level of the white shadows."

"In different World Tree civilizations, the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable continually refine the black shadows, transform them, enhance their strength, aiming to have them reach the level of the white shadows."

"Yet, ultimately, they were unable to achieve this level. The black shadows always fall short of the white shadows."

"The Seven Great Heavenly Venerable had no choice but to break the spatial seal and release those white shadows to deal with us!"

Everyone exchanged looks; what Su Yang suggested seemed plausible.

Wan Du said: "Su Alliance Leader, thinking according to what you said, some things don't quite add up."

"Since the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable can open the spatial seal and release the white shadows inside, then why would they bother cultivating these black shadows?"

"The Seven Great Heavenly Venerable have gone through countless World Tree civilizations and eons cultivating these black shadows, only for them to be failures."

"It'd be better to directly unseal the Overlapping Space, not waste so much time!"

Su Yang said softly: "This is precisely the crux of the problem."

"The creator of Overlapping Space could only seal those white shadows but couldn't destroy them, which shows how formidable the white shadows are."

"I suspect the origin of the white shadows is far from simple, possibly related to the origins of the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable."

"If we can understand the situation of the white shadows, perhaps we might gain insight into the Seven Great Heavenly Venerable!"
