Chapter 577 - 569
Gu Jinlai looked at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was silent.
Jin Haoran opened his mouth, wanting to explain something.
But before he could speak, Liu Yuxi by his side couldn’t help but blurt out an explanation, "The fault doesn’t lie with our Immortal Country’s trial. At that time, the Demon Realm had already accumulated a formidable force intending to enter our world; although the trial of Immortal Country did shake the Spirit Realm space and decreased the difficulty for other worlds to enter ours, it also caused the hidden threat of the Demon Realm to erupt prematurely. Otherwise, by the time the Demon Realm was fully prepared, we would have had no resistance whatsoever and they would’ve completely annihilated us."
"For ten thousand years, the battles between the Demon Realm and Longevity World had continued unabated, yet the scale had always remained rather limited. Even in the ages before the creator came into being, despite the ravages of Demon Spirits, they could never fundamentally threaten the Human Clan of Longevity World; not to mention large-scale Demon Abysses like permanent portals to the Demon Realm, even major rifts were extremely rare. Natural deaths in Longevity World far outnumbered those caused by Demon Spirits..."
Gu Jinlai paused, then said solemnly, "But all this changed, over a hundred years ago, after the trial conducted by Immortal Country."
Liu Yuxi still tried to defend Immortal Country, "Without the creator’s hunting, the Demon Realm nurtured over thirty Demon Spirit Dominators in just a thousand years! Among them, the strongest five, known as the Five Directions Demon Lords, could annihilate a Grotto Heaven, which was maintained by several True Immortals, as easily as one could crush dry weeds, and this was despite the Grotto Heavens possessing the power of the Spirit Mechanism..."
Having said this, she seemed to have found enough confidence, "Tell me, if it weren’t for us opening the channel to the Demon Realm at that time and allowing those Demon Spirits to grow, would our Human Clan still have any hope for the future?"
"What does the strength of the Demon Spirits have to do with this world if the two worlds could have never truly connected?"
Gu Jinlai said.
