Stranger Danger

Cyan Radiance Superior Celestial could not say anything for a moment. In this world, the only person who could handle a celestial… was another celestial.

In other words, these eight celestials had been shackled to these altars by other celestials.

So, who exactly were the celestials who shackled them?

The answer was obvious. It could only be the celestials of the Kunlun Ruins.

Just the same, these eight celestials had to be celestials of the Kunlun Ruins as well.

After the Great Tribulation, spiritual qi was exhausted, and the world became murky and tainted. That was why these celestials chose to trap themselves within this blessed land in the first place. No celestials could leave, just as no outsiders could enter. Therefore, these eight celestials could only be celestials of the Kunlun Ruins.

What happened back then wasn’t too difficult to guess either. The corruption of the Nine Nethers was great, and the celestials of the Kunlun Ruins did not believe they could stop it. In order to live, they decided to repeat history and sacrifice eight celestials to activate the Supreme Eight Celestials Realm Locking God Restriction. This would mend the rift between the Nine Nethers and the Kunlun Ruins and save them from disaster.

However, the entire reason these celestials trapped themselves in the Kunlun Ruins was because they were afraid of dying in the first place. To avoid the ultimate end, they went so far as to cage themselves in the Kunlun Ruins forever, never to be free. With that in mind, who among them would willingly sacrifice themselves for another?

If no one was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, then they would make it unwillingly. Some celestials took matters into their own hands and forcefully restricted eight chosen celestials, Dao friends they had walked side by side for heavens-know-how-long. Then, they set up the Supreme Eight Celestials Realm Locking God Restriction.
