“That voice?” The Order Keeper was shocked.
“That’s one of the guys older than me, scolding me!” explained David.
After a long silence, fear emerged for the first time in the cold and mechanical consciousness of the Order Guardians.
“No wonder you, an ordinary Gold Immortal, were able to exterminate the Haotian Clan in the Twenty-second Heaven and are still bragging in this prison.”
“You have every right to brag. You might as well just face what I just said!”
Finally, the Order relented and made an unprecedented promise: “I can immediately stop the vortex from devouring and no longer send innocent cultivators to prison as victims.”
The life-devouring mechanisms of the Heavenly Prison were temporarily sealed, guaranteeing the safety of all living beings for now.
“But I give you a time limit: one month.”
“Within thirty days, you must stabilize the gaps outside the region and suppress the infiltration of the barrier.”
If the rift continues to worsen after one month ends, and external forces once again try to invade, I will have no choice but to restart the sacrificial mechanism, exchanging the lives of all beings for the survival of the heavens.
This is the essence of the rules, and cannot be changed; otherwise, the entire Heavenly Realm would face catastrophe.
Without hesitation, David answered in a deep voice, “I will keep my promise within one month.”
“In addition, I have fulfilled my previous promise regarding cause and effect.”
Just then, a thin crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a purplish-gray beam of light carrying seven slender figures fell through the air and landed steadily in the ancient clan’s open space.
“David!”
A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Jiang Xuelan’s eyes, her worries disappeared, and she quickly stepped forward.
Xuanzhenzi also moved and arrived before him in a flash. He glanced around and saw that the seven fairies had returned safely.
Even though they were weak and their clothes were tattered, no one died or was seriously injured. He breathed a sigh of relief and was deeply moved.
“It’s revealed! Completely exposed!”
Xuanzhenzi was filled with emotion, “In the Heavenly Dao immortal prison, there has never been a time when all prisoners were released. Today, you have broken this unprecedented precedent!”
The seven fairies bowed slightly and nodded to the two of them, their expressions still showing some lingering fear despite having gone through so much hardship.
When Gu Li heard the news, he immediately rushed over and was overjoyed to see everyone safe.
While everyone was happy, David remained calm, his eyes hiding the lingering coldness and sadness.
He raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, then looked at Xuanzhenzi and Jiang Xuelan and said in a deep voice, “Come with me, I have something important to tell you.”
He deliberately avoided Guli.
The truth should not be widely disseminated today.
Even though the Guardians of Order were hypocritical and powerless, they were the only remaining foundation of stability in the entire heavens.
Before the rift is stabilized and the crisis resolved, once the truth about the Heavenly Sacrifice and Prison Hunting Grounds is revealed, it will definitely cause chaos throughout the heavens, an uproar among all races, and the destruction of human hearts.
When order completely collapses, external forces will seize the opportunity to attack, and the Twenty-Two Heavens will be wiped out in an instant.
Before he could fully stabilize the rift and settle matters with the traitor gods, he had to maintain the Order’s pseudo-authority and stabilize the overall situation in heaven.
