Chapter 2619: Chapter 2679: Entering the World Melting Furnace
Hearing this, Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, he had initially considered the World Melting Furnace as a last resort, but it was a choice made out of sheer necessity.
Moreover, he hadn’t planned to allow everyone to enter the World Melting Furnace so early. At that time, he believed the World Melting Furnace was just a Great World and couldn’t accommodate the alliance of the Land of Chaos within it. If he let them enter, internal conflict might break out.
Now, it seems his concerns were entirely unnecessary. The World Melting Furnace is composed of nine Great Worlds and thirty-seven Guardian Lands, its scope beyond what Su Yang could imagine. In this situation, even bringing the entire alliance of the Land of Chaos into the World Melting Furnace wouldn’t affect anything.
Su Yang sought out Long Qiu, got him to settle Jiang Zi’er at Qinghe Academy, and then Su Yang himself dashed to the entrance of the Land of Chaos to find the alliance leaders and discuss retreating to the World Melting Furnace.
These alliance leaders, although ready to sacrifice their lives guarding the entrance to the Land of Chaos, wouldn’t reject a chance of survival if it truly existed. Besides, if the Ancient Gods were really welcomed back, the hope of victory for the Human Clan would be greater.
Thus, upon hearing Su Yang’s words, these leaders were overjoyed. The soldiers in the alliance outside were their subordinates who had been following them for many years; they didn’t wish to see their members die here either.
However, Su Yang didn’t let these people spread this information widely. Even though they’ve been fighting against the Guardian God for many years, no one knows if there are spies from the Guardian God within the alliance. If this news were leaked and known by the Guardian God, the Guardian God would surely not sit idly by and allow the return of the Ancient Gods. They might think of ways to stop them.
Su Yang and the others devised a different method, telling the alliance to relocate to a new place and, in the process, took the alliance away from the entrance of the Land of Chaos.
Of course, Su Yang didn’t directly take them to the Nine Realms. Uncertain if there were spies within the alliance, Su Yang couldn’t expose the Nine Realms.
While the alliance was packing, Su Yang first returned to the Nine Realms, took out the World Melting Furnace, and brought it to a Star Domain far from the Nine Realms, expanding the World Melting Furnace to the size of a planet, making it impossible to discern its original appearance.
Afterwards, Su Yang entered the World Melting Furnace and informed the people of the Nine Realms about the alliance’s entry into the World Melting Furnace. Meanwhile, Su Yang relocated the Nine Realms’ people closer to the Heavenly Sect.
There were certain forbidden areas within the World Melting Furnace that people cannot enter or leave freely. The valley’s bottom is one, and the Heavenly Sect is another.
But the valley floor is relatively safer; once someone enters, they definitely can’t come out and will be completely consumed by the lost-minded Demon Beasts within. Thus, Su Yang isn’t worried about anyone entering the valley floor with malicious intent.
His only concern is the Heavenly Sect, which might once have been a highly powerful organization of the Guardian God. It’s currently unguarded; if the alliance knew of its existence, someone with ulterior motives might attempt to enter and take what’s inside.
Ye Wantong is still in closed cultivation within the Heavenly Sect, and given the importance of the Heavenly Sect, it is indeed not suitable for outsiders to access it freely.
Therefore, Su Yang had the people of the Nine Realms defend the area. Furthermore, after the alliance enters the World Melting Furnace, Su Yang will assign strong figures from his Great World to station near the Heavenly Sect. Hence, there’s no need to worry about someone recklessly entering the Heavenly Sect.
Once everything was arranged, Su Yang then had the alliance leaders bring people over in batches to enter the World Melting Furnace.
Despite this, it took nearly fifty years before the entire alliance was settled within the World Melting Furnace.
During this period, Su Yang returned several times to the Nine Realms to see whether Feather Spirit Palace had opened. But every time, the answer was negative.
According to Jiang Zi’er, the master of Feather Spirit Palace seems to be at a very critical moment now. Once her fusion is complete, not only will Feather Spirit Palace reopen, but its master can also emerge temporarily.
Su Yang couldn’t help but recall the red figure within the Heaven-Reaching Giant Tree. Could it be the master of Feather Spirit Palace? Is he fusing with the red glow from before, and once successful, he’ll be able to emerge?
Yet, what concerned Su Yang more was little Qi’er, who had once fallen into the tree pit of the Heaven-Reaching Giant Tree.
The Little Grey Bird and Little Chick had assured Su Yang that Qi’er would be perfectly safe inside. But having gone a millennium without seeing her, Su Yang was still quite worried. Though Qi’er had begun cultivating, a thousand years is a long time; who knows if she has endured?
After sending the entire alliance into the World Melting Furnace, Su Yang brought the World Melting Furnace back to the Nine Realms and settled it in Storm Valley.
This time, Feather Spirit Palace still showed no signs of opening, so Su Yang entered the World Melting Furnace to begin settling the alliance.
The alliance, although moved into the World Melting Furnace, and indeed capable of accommodating so many people, consisted of disparate individuals who suddenly found themselves in a secure place with abundant Spiritual Source. No one knew what might occur among them.
To manage this appropriately, Su Yang knew it was crucial to maintain close contact with the alliance leaders to properly settle the alliance. Otherwise, if divisions arose within any of its factions here, leading to civil conflicts, it would void Su Yang’s efforts.
Fortunately, the range of the World Melting Furnace was large enough. After over thirty years, Su Yang finally managed to settle the alliance properly.
The alliance was placed by Su Yang in different positions, with minimal contact between them. Additionally, Su Yang, together with the various major leaders, discussed and established common rules to be followed in the World Melting Furnace, ensuring the situation within the alliance wouldn’t pose major problems.
However, during these thirty-plus years, there were indeed some accidents. For instance, several people accidentally entered the valley’s depths and were ultimately unable to exit.
Su Yang didn’t go down to retrieve them; in truth, once people entered, their hopes of survival were practically nonexistent. The Demon Beast Saint Emperors down there would surely shred and devour them, and it was pointless for Su Yang to attempt a rescue.
Nonetheless, Su Yang used this incident to inform the alliance about the valley’s situation, warning them of the Ancient Array left within, making exit impossible, and inevitably leading to death inside.
With this knowledge, no one dared approach the valley anymore. After all, those who survived until now cherished their lives greatly, and nobody believed they could break the Ancient Array left behind!
