Previously, Yang Cheng and the others were wondering why the Four Ghost Kings needed to harvest life force. What would beings born from Yin Veins need life force for?
Only now did they realize that this giant hand not only needed to absorb the power from the Yin meridians, but also required the power of life as a supplement.
What it wants is to devour the power of this entire parallel world!
Everyone stared in disbelief at the giant hand and the legacy of the Lord of Mount Tai above.
If that small stone had 1% of the inheritance, then this huge stone tablet must have more than 50%.
Whose hand is this that requires more than 50% of the Taishan Prefecture Lord's inheritance to suppress it, and there's even a tendency for it to fail to suppress it?
Lei Gong's once-red face had turned somewhat pale: "How should this thing be suppressed?"
"Are you kidding me? Is this level of being something we can handle and suppress?"
Jiang Kai said in a deep voice, "Let's retreat. Use a secret technique to contact our superiors and have them send stronger people to resolve this."
This thing is beyond our reach. Any rash action that disturbs this giant hand, even the slightest tremor, would be fatal for us.
Everyone nodded and agreed to leave for the time being.
Even with so many inheritances from the Lord of Mount Tai before them, this situation is beyond their ability to resolve.
Just then, a low, soft voice came from behind.
“Little fellows of the Heavenly Palace, this is certainly not something you can handle, so let us take care of it.”
As long as you don't cause trouble, consider it as us helping you complete the task; no one will lose out.
"Of course, if you don't know what's good for you, I'll kill you first!"
A black mist emerged, and Xie An and Fang Mingjun stepped out of it, their eyes fixed on the giant hand, both showing shock.
Han Yu and the others immediately became alert and retreated hastily.
The people of Lingshan all died at the hands of the Underworld, so they dared not be careless when facing these two from the Underworld.
Xie An glanced at them, but his gaze did not linger on Yang Cheng for even a moment.
"Don't be nervous. As I said, as long as you don't cause trouble, we can just sit back and watch the mission be completed."
We want the legacy of the Lord of Mount Tai, while you want to complete your mission and seal this thing. There's no conflict between the two.
Fang Mingjun chuckled.
The group exchanged glances and nodded.
At this point, they had no choice but to watch as the people of the underworld went to claim the inheritance.
As for what consequences this will bring, they have no way of knowing.
Fang Mingjun looked at Xie An and asked, "We can't touch this thing right now, can we? We have to seal it first before we can retrieve the inheritance of the Lord of Mount Tai. Otherwise, if we release this thing, this world will be destroyed, and no one will survive!"
Xie An said calmly, "Let's summon the power of Lady Houtu. She is skilled in sealing power, and the power she can summon from a distance is enough to seal this thing."
As they spoke, Xie An and Fang Mingjun began setting up the formation.
Du Xiaoqiang whispered, "Isn't it a bit unfair for us to just stand here and watch the people from the Underworld seize the inheritance of the Lord of Mount Tai?"
Old Master Cui sneered, "It's not good, but at a time like this, are we really going to rush up and die? The graves of those monks from Ling Mountain haven't even grown grass yet."
Moreover, with our current strength, trying to ban an existence of this level is simply wishful thinking.
Don't overthink it. Even if we report this, the higher-ups will understand. Otherwise, who would do these mandatory tasks in the future?
This mission is different from the past. The tasks assigned from above are not worth our desperate efforts, and there will be no punishment for failing to complete them.
"Gentlemen, let's report this together. There's no harm in the collective; everything should be fine."
When a World Patrol discovers that a power in the world exceeds the world's limits, it has the right to report it to higher authorities. This is one of the World Patrol's main powers.
The problem is that this kind of report cannot contain much information; it can only provide a simple message to let all the heavens know that something has changed in this world and that they need to request support.
There will be support, but don't expect timely support.
The information is reported to the Heavenly Cycle, which then assigns it to the Lord of the Void Realm. The Lord of the Void Realm then assigns it to his subordinates to determine the maximum limit that this world can withstand before deciding who to send.
By the time real support arrived, everyone was already dead.
So when they report to their superiors, it's just to put their minds at ease, to tell them that it's not that they're not trying, but that they're unable to help solve the problem.
