"Why ask this? Does it matter?" The Flying Spirit Lion frowned, feeling a bit impatient with any seemingly trivial questions posed by Ye Feng at this moment. Perhaps this was also one of the characteristics of being a spirit beast!
Ye Feng, however, had a gloomy expression, silent as water. The Flying Spirit Lion noticed and felt a pang in his heart, quickly saying, "I don't know the exact number, but I heard it includes all the giants that weren't completely exterminated at that time! Such creatures were rare even in ancient times because their individual strength was incredibly powerful. Even if their numbers were few, they could dominate this vast Ground!"
Ye Feng furrowed his brows again, showing displeasure. This guy always spoke in circles; couldn't he just get straight to the point?
The Flying Spirit Lion chuckled awkwardly, realizing his expression, and continued, "As far as I know, there were only about ten thousand Titans at their peak. The Divine Sect from the highest planes of the Ancient Era felt pity for their bloodthirsty nature and united to carry out an extermination campaign!"
"The brutality of that extermination campaign is unimaginable to later generations. Even ancient texts do not describe the situation at that time. It is said that there were so many deaths that the Record Keeper couldn't keep up with documenting the rivers of blood!"
"But I know that during what was called the Age of the Ancient God of Dusk, several supreme beings from major high planes and countless strong warriors were involved, yet they only managed to kill three-quarters of the Titans. The remaining ones were still the strongest members of the Titan race. However, the united army from the high planes was nearly wiped out!"
As the Flying Spirit Lion recounted this, it seemed as if he was transported back to that scene of slaughter, his face showing rare melancholy. Ye Feng listened quietly without interrupting him too aggressively; this was a respect for history. Even he felt deeply moved hearing these ancient secrets!
"So you mean that later you chose to seal the remaining giants simply because the united army lacked the strength to exterminate them?" Ye Feng caught on to the underlying meaning and stated directly!
The Flying Spirit Lion sighed and nodded awkwardly before saying, "Sealing them was a desperate measure but also a wise choice. Unfortunately, at that time, the united army overestimated their strength and underestimated how truly terrifying the Titans were, which led them to choose what they thought was the best solution!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng revealed a sarcastic smile. Perhaps what sounded like a noble extermination back then was merely a despicable act by the Divine Sect of high planes feeling threatened. However, he did not point this out since he and the Flying Spirit Lion were allies now!
"The seal was created by my master and several other members of the Divine Sect working together. This Underground Palace was constructed after careful planning; there are many stories here that I won't go into detail about. Based on my memory, there are currently about over a thousand giants sealed beneath this Ground!"
"Over a thousand..." Ye Feng gazed at the Ground, murmuring to himself as if lost in thought!
The Flying Spirit Lion felt increasingly unable to read this guy. Just as he wanted to say something to probe further, Ye Feng suddenly spoke up: "So after ten thousand years of erosion from the seal, how many giants do you think remain down there now?"
"Well, that's hard to say!" The Flying Spirit Lion was taken aback; he hadn't expected such a question. Even he couldn't predict something to that extent!
Ye Feng, however, cleverly deduced from the wail beneath the ground and made a bold guess, his eyes shining with insight: "I think! Perhaps there's only one left!"
"What?" The Flying Spirit Lion was utterly bewildered. He couldn't understand why this human could be so certain about an answer he himself couldn't even guess.
Ye Feng continued slowly, "Based on your description of the Titan's power, if there were really hundreds or even thousands of them, they would have broken through during that impact. I don't believe that this Ancient Seal, eroded by Ten Thousand Years, can still be as solid as it was in the beginning!"
"There are no walls that don't let sound through, and no power that doesn't fade! There is no such thing as eternal energy in this world; the rules of existence have their own system. The sound you hear is so singular and hollow; it is neither a demonstration nor a call for help!"
The more the Flying Spirit Lion listened, the more profound it seemed, and he couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you think it is doing?"
"Have you heard of Grief? If you were sealed for Ten Thousand Years and witnessed your kin dying one by one around you while you had to struggle to hold onto the last thread of your life, then after enduring Ten Thousand Years, finally discovering a glimmer of hope, that would lead to the impact we just experienced!"
Ye Feng spoke with utmost certainty. His expression suggested he could deeply empathize with the giant's psyche beneath the ground.
The Flying Spirit Lion was completely speechless. Although this human's conjecture was unbelievable, it strangely sounded plausible!
"Woo... woo..." The Wailing defined by Ye Feng as Grief continued. This sorrowful sound lingered for a long time before gradually diminishing into nothingness.
During this time, both Ye Feng and the Flying Spirit Lion tried their best to recover their strength. They had realized that neither intended to launch a second wave of impact immediately because judging from that Wailing, if Ye Feng's guess was correct, their opponent was also exhausted, which explained such a mournful cry.
It was like seeing hope from despair only to slowly witness that hope fade away—a pain beyond description!
"I think we still have some time. During this time, we must come up with Exceptional methods. It's impossible to restore the formation eye now; instead, you should think about whether your master mentioned any other suppression techniques back then," Ye Feng said with half-closed eyes while focusing on regaining his breath.
The Flying Spirit Lion scratched his head, seemingly trying hard to recall past events from Ten Thousand Years ago. However, even Xuan Lao in Ye Feng's mind might not clearly remember everything from his previous life!
After a moment, the Flying Spirit Lion shook his head, indicating he couldn't remember anything!
Ye Feng gritted his teeth but refused to give up, asking again, "Is there really no secondary plan involving some kind of formation? With such a large seal and the scale of the Underground Palace, it can't be that no contingencies were considered!"
"Contingencies? Don't joke around... The Underground Palace from ten thousand years ago was nothing like this one. To be honest, the sealing formation of this Underground Palace not only can imprison the Ancient Demon God but also absorb Spirit Energy from the Ground. Unfortunately, over these ten thousand years, this continent has changed far too much!"
"The Spirit Energy is thin, leading to insufficient power in the formation, and with the core being destroyed, there’s no secondary method! If it were ten thousand years ago, even the strongest person on this continent would perish here!" The Flying Spirit Lion said, sneering at the end.
Ye Feng could hardly stand that expression and felt like kicking him to death! However, he still managed to keep his patience and said, "Stop with the nonsense! I know the Spirit Energy on this continent is thin, but wait! You said this sealing formation can absorb external Spirit Energy?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" The Flying Spirit Lion noticed Ye Feng's sudden change in tone and asked curiously, "Do you have some method?"
"If this Plate can really absorb external Spirit Energy, then I think that the arch-like structure above us is not a defense but rather an auxiliary method! The runes around are what activate this method to attract Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy!" Ye Feng's mind suddenly cleared up! So this was the second layer of the seal!
"You... you aren't a reincarnation of a Divine Being from ten thousand years ago, are you?" The Flying Spirit Lion was completely shocked; being able to deduce this conclusion made Ye Feng truly unprecedented. Even he, as a guardian, almost forgot about this aspect!
He glanced at the dim wall patterns nearby and sighed, "But your method won't work either. I actually wanted to mention this earlier but realized it was useless, so I didn't."
Hearing this, Ye Feng frowned immediately and asked, "Why do you say that?"
The Flying Spirit Lion explained nonchalantly, "The runes on these walls can attract Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy; however, do you know the real reason why Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy is thin?"
"Why are there so many questions? Can't you just get to the point?" Ye Feng finally exploded! It was clear that he could save time by being straightforward, yet this guy insisted on going around in circles! They didn't have much time left!
The Flying Spirit Lion was startled and quickly replied, "The thinness is because this plane has been reduced to a lower world. Spirit Energy has flown from the Ground to Ninety-Nine Heavens; beyond that is a higher plane where Spirit Energy is being absorbed!"
"And because of that, the Spirit Absorption runes on the surrounding walls have lost their effectiveness. They can't sense Spirit Energy from the Ground anymore, and the Spirit Energy far above in the heavens cannot be reached by these runes! Now do you understand?"
Ye Feng listened and suddenly realized but felt frustrated inside. No wonder there were so many powerful beings in higher planes; they were all absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from lower worlds! Those damned guys! But in an instant, his newly ignited hope was extinguished again!
"Is the heavens trying to destroy me? No! I refuse! I am Ye Feng! I will never fall in a place like this!"
"Are you okay?" The Flying Spirit Lion was startled by this sudden outburst.
"Actually, even if we can't stop the Ancient Demon God from breaking the seal, at least we still have time to leave, right? Why don't we hurry and escape this place? No matter what kind of demon god it is, if there really is only one, it can't possibly find us and kill us all over the world, can it?"
"Heh heh, I've already failed once; I don't want to run away like this again!" Ye Feng recalled the secret realm of Haotian City. That time, several Powerful Beings from the Cold Moon Immortal Sect sacrificed their lives and souls to re-seal the Shura Demon King Lu Tong for three years, but after three years, he would surely return!
Unexpectedly, in less than three months, an even more terrifying Ancient Demon God was about to descend because of him. Ye Feng could no longer escape... His mind raced as he contemplated the situation, his expression grave enough that the Flying Spirit Lion dared not interrupt!
Time passed slowly, and eventually, the Flying Spirit Lion could no longer hold back and said, "You need to make a decision soon! This Spirit Absorption formation can only be approached by a Divine Being unless you have a way to use Spirit Gathering!"
"Wait! You mentioned Spirit Gathering?!!" Ye Feng's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and he exclaimed in surprise!
The Flying Spirit Lion was confused and wondered what this guy had thought of now. It couldn't help but say, "The method of Spirit Gathering has long been lost; don't get your hopes up. However, if such a method truly exists, perhaps we could use the runes on the surrounding ancient walls to draw forth powerful Spirit Energy for suppression!"
"Heh heh, heh heh, the heavens won't destroy me, the heavens won't destroy me!"
