The holy war in the distance did not have any impact on the half-saints and quasi-saints of the human race who were exploring.
Only a few First Saints faintly noticed something was wrong.
"Brother Nan Dao seems to have not sent any news for a while, right?"
"It has been thousands of years."
"According to the report below, he should have discovered something. Now there are two possibilities. The flow of time in that place is too slow or..."
"We met a tough opponent."
Several saints quickly exchanged ideas, and finally one person arrived at the location where Nan Tianzhi was previously responsible to see if he could get some useful information.
After the First Saint came here, he quickly verified it based on Nan Tianzhi's previous exploration process. At first, it went smoothly and he got a set of coordinates. However, when he extended his consciousness to sense it, he found nothing. That coordinate is an extremely ordinary void in the universe.
"What went wrong?"
After many searches, the first saint determined that the coordinates were here, which made him frown. He had no choice but to tell other saints this information.
He didn't know that this set of coordinates was actually correct. The coordinates that Nan Tianzhi obtained at the beginning were also here, but in the past time, the system of gods there, that is, the bright belt of light, had been modified by the god. Moved, the position has changed, it's not the position that's wrong, it's just the time.
When several other First Saints learned the news, they all fell into deep thought.
In the end, the most powerful saint among the crowd, who stood at the top of the First Saint, expressed his opinion: "Maybe the set of coordinates you found is correct... Fellow Daoist Nan discovered that it was there, in his induction. It is indeed an area belonging to the god system."
"Brother Chen Dao means..."
There is no need to say the words completely, each other can already know what the other person is thinking just by the excitement of a thought.
In the end, everyone almost agreed with this guess.
"So, Brother Nan Dao found the right place."
"With such ability, he must be an existence at the same level as us... He has not sent back information for so long, so he must be enduring a hard battle."
“Let’s inform Deer Saint about this news first.”
"Do you know where Deer Saint is now? I haven't had any information about him for a long time."
"The Deer Saint has discovered it before. It should be the trace of a high-sage level god."
"So you can't contact him now?"
"It's a little difficult, but you can give it a try."
Just like it is impossible to report their actions to the Semi-Saints and Quasi-Saints, it is impossible for the Deer Saint to report their movements to them, the First Saints, when they discover something. At most, they can occasionally inform them of their location.
There has always been a matter of low-level reporting to high-level, never the other way around.
When acting in the universe, humans generally need to report their own movements to a higher level. However, this rule no longer applies to the High Sages. The High Sages have a high degree of autonomy and are generally the makers of actions. They Also have the ability to take responsibility for all of your actions.
The degree of freedom of the early saints is actually very high, but because there are relatively many high saints, high saints usually follow them during exploration activities, so a certain amount of reporting is still required.
The level of true saints is because the number has dropped sharply and the number of appearances is very few. High saints have no one to report to if they want to, so they are no longer needed.
The saints were about to try to find the Deer Saint, but suddenly they felt a drastic change somewhere behind them.
Turn around and look.
"It's him again!"
"Why are you still this kid?"
"Is this the destiny of a genius?"
At the focus of the saints' gaze, the figure of a quasi-sage appeared.
Shockingly, it was Xu Sheng who was already standing on the seventh step!
At this time, around him, several auras belonging to the quasi-saint level were rising!
…
Xu Sheng himself was also very surprised.
To be honest, he didn't have much thought during this period. He was just collecting incense and working hard to exchange for the next level of Taoism.
But he didn't expect that during the collection process, he suddenly found an area that he had never discovered before. In this area, he actually saw several places similar to the Shadow Zone.
After getting over the initial surprise, he quickly explored the area, and then discovered that this area should be a place equivalent to an 'experimental scrapyard', where there are several similar shadow zones. Breathless but completely dead void.
This incident did not cause him too many psychological fluctuations at first. After all, failure is normal for things like experiments. But what he didn't expect was that it was not only the areas themselves that failed, but also... .A god at the quasi-holy level!
These gods who originally had the possibility of breaking through to a higher realm, in the process of trying to integrate into these areas and become their fulcrum, failed to successfully maintain stability, and eventually died along with these areas!
In Xu Sheng's perception, there were as many as twenty-eight escaping auras here, and twenty-eight quasi-saint-level gods died here.
Dying in such a worthless way, even if he was on the opposite side, all Xu Sheng could feel was sadness.
Existences at the quasi-saint level should not die like this as consumable materials for experiments. The despair these gods experienced before their death made him feel depressed just thinking about it.
The instinct of life makes him extremely resistant to this kind of behavior, but from the perspective of the entire ethnic group, he can easily understand why the god system does this.
On the one hand, the ethnic group itself cannot break through the shackles and allow individuals to reach a higher level. On the other hand, there is a mountain like the human race standing in front. Even if they can now rely on their viral spread to keep the group safe, who knows? With this growth in strength of the human race, how long will it take for them to completely find a way to deal with them?
In other words, the human race actually now has the ability to directly destroy them, but it requires too much energy. The human race does not have so much spare energy to do so when there are so many enemies to deal with.
But if there were a few more holy saints in the human race, this result would not be far away.
How long will it take for several more saints to appear in the human race?
For other ethnic groups, it takes a long time, but for the human race, it does not take many years at all. After all, the human race has only entered the world for more than a hundred years!
This is a number that makes all ethnic groups in the world tremble with fear. The strength of the human race has increased too fast. No ethnic group with a sense of crisis can stay quietly in this reality!
Originally, the matter had come to an end at this point. For Xu Sheng, it was just a discovery of an abandoned place. However, he did not expect that just when he was about to leave, something that had already been set was triggered.
In his gaze, several auras of the same level suddenly appeared. They came from nowhere and launched a fierce attack on him as soon as they appeared.
Any other human quasi-sage might have been injured immediately in such a joint attack, but Xu Sheng, who was now standing on the seventh step, was not. Although such an offensive made him serious, he wanted to It was still not far away from reaching the point where he would be injured.
In the quasi-sage realm where ten thousand laws have been broken through, the terrifying aspects of strength are gradually revealed. Even if Xu Sheng is only standing on the seventh step, he definitely has the strength of the ninth step at this time. He can truly fight beyond the level. Unbelievable person!
At this time, even the two-way paperweight and the Holy Talisman Seal are not of much use. After all, Xu Sheng can handle these battles with his own strength alone. The first two want to release their power as before, but now they can't. It was very difficult, because it meant that Xu Sheng had encountered enemies at the holy level... Enemies at this level, even if he activated these two treasures to the extreme, it would be difficult to escape from their hands. .
This is different from when he met a semi-saint in the saint stage, or when he met a quasi-saint in the semi-saint stage. The holy realm is an absolute existence that is absolutely difficult to cross.
"The saints must have noticed."
Xu Sheng knew very well that such a movement was too big. Even if the saints were not close to here, they would still find it immediately, so even if his strength was not as good as the opponent, there would be no problem.
It might be hard to say if others are here. Whether they can survive until the saint arrives is still unknown.
After weighing the strength of both sides, Xu Sheng found that although there was pressure on his side, there was no possibility of victory, so he gave up the idea of letting the saints take action and directly used the power of his own laws to deal with them. The seemingly weakest quasi-holy level god is attacking.
The quasi-holy level gods that appeared have different forms of existence, such as human-shaped, bird-like, and water-shaped... In short, each one represents the type of god.
He also found that the difficulty of destroying them was different depending on their existence form. Compared with all the quasi-holy gods, the humanoid ones were slightly weaker in terms of life-saving ability. Once the humanoid ones were destroyed, their own combat power would be The impact is not small. For example, the survivability of the unformed gods is really strong, and their own combat effectiveness is also the best.
In terms of combat alone, the human form has no obvious advantages compared to other forms...or it may be said that there are still some disadvantages.
Xu Sheng judged that the advantages of the human form should be in other aspects. The god system should have formed a set of principles over such a long time. The human form must be a very important form to be preserved.
"Maybe it's because most of the believers are human beings... Does the difficulty have an advantage in improving strength?"
Xu Sheng was guessing in his mind that the holy way is the unknown, and the process of seeking the holy way is also a process of constantly exploring the unknown. Therefore, whether it is him or other human races, they will explore various situations they encounter during the war and think about it. The reasons for this situation.
Most races in the world rely on "God's gift" to fight. They have no consciousness of exploring. Only a few races have strong curiosity and they are eager to explore everything.
The human race is the leader among them, and other ethnic groups with similar habits are all relatively powerful without exception. Even if the level of their own ethnic group is not the highest, their combat capabilities are extremely strong at the same level.
By analyzing the surrounding gods, Xu Sheng quickly found their respective weaknesses.
Since the life-saving ability of gods in human form was not strong, Xu Sheng naturally aimed at him first. Although other gods knew his thoughts and wanted to organize their killing, it still had no effect.
With the turmoil in the space, ripples in the void continued to form, and the number of gods surrounding Xu Sheng suddenly disappeared.
After losing a companion, these gods were furious, but none of them had the idea of turning around and fleeing.
This phenomenon is naturally abnormal. As long as life has the desire to live, he has dealt with gods at all levels a lot, and he knows that they will leave immediately when they know that the situation is unavoidable.
"Then there's only one answer..."
Maybe the gods in front of them are not in a normal state at all, just like the mortal beings who have been stripped of their consciousness and turned into puppets. The lives of these gods in front of them should also be similar existences.
This can also explain why they suddenly appeared and why there was no response before.
It is in a puppet-like state, and naturally there will be no breath leakage when it is not activated.
As for the god system, because the promotion process relies on the collection of faith, it is very easy for gods to manipulate it. They can even independently cultivate some quasi-holy level gods, and then use them when they need At that time, all the breaths buried in it will be detonated, so that the quasi-holy god selected as the target will not have any reaction and will be directly transformed into a puppet-like thing.
Xu Sheng had no idea of communicating with these gods before. Now that he had such a guess, he began to verify it. The method was also very simple. He kept trying to communicate with these gods. As long as he had enough time, he could always get the answer.
The end result was that no matter how long he tried, he never got any response.
"My guess is accurate... It seems that the price paid by the god system to create such a shadow zone is quite high."
Xu Sheng's eyes shifted to the quasi-holy god in the form of a bird. This was his next target.
Through this discovery, he could easily think that the Shadow Zone was definitely not the only one.
Maybe it was the first to succeed?
If it was the first to succeed, then the deity system should have established such areas in more places after it.
Anyway, if it were him, he would definitely set up such an area as much as possible. In this way, he could quickly find out why the human race is so powerful.
After confirming that no more information could be obtained from these quasi-holy gods in front of him, Xu Sheng simply destroyed them one by one without any consideration.
Just after he destroyed these quasi-holy gods, he sensed several auras that had been hidden around him, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
