Summit Farmer-Chapter 2226 - 2224: Holy_Path Severed

"Why is it that even though I have formed two galaxies, I still don’t sense the feeling of becoming a Saint?" Peter Brown asked.

When they heard Peter’s question, everyone exchanged glances and let out a long sigh.

Peter could tell there seemed to be some kind of secret.

After a while, the Saint of Heaven Origin said, "Originally, we would never disclose this matter, but you’re different—you have the right to know."

The Saint_of_Kunlun sighed and added, "This information absolutely cannot be leaked to the Human Clan. If it were, it would cause a significant blow to our tribe’s faith."

The Saint of Heaven Origin said, "Peter, you’ve always been unable to sense the path of becoming a Saint, correct?"

Peter nodded affirmatively and replied, "That’s right, I feel I’ve already reached that level, but it always seems I’m just a step away."

"Mm, your perception is accurate; it indeed is such a circumstance."

"Why?"

Peter became increasingly perplexed.

"Peter, the truth is, the Holy_Path of the Human World has been severed."

"What?"

Seeing Peter’s puzzled expression, the Northern Saint sighed and explained, "As you must have noticed, the state of the Human World—our tribe has persistently endured relentless oppression from other tribes. Our world has been compressed bit by bit. And this isn’t even the worst aspect. The most crucial event was the ancient war 100 million years ago when various tribes joined forces to launch a devastating attack against the Human World. Faced with imminent extinction, we had no choice but to unleash the Collective Saint’s Will."

"What is the Collective Saint’s Will?" Peter asked in confusion.

"Ever since the birth of the Saints in the Human World, every Saint has poured all of their strength into the core region during their lifetimes. Over time, the combined power of countless Saints has amassed. You can imagine the sheer force of an attack fueled by such immense power and will."

Peter listened, his heart shaken. He could indeed conceptualize the magnitude of such a situation.

The Saint of Heaven Origin continued, "Unfortunately, it was only a single strike."

The Southern Saint remarked, "Though it was only one strike, it did kill ten Saints."

"Indeed. At that time, Saints from several realms combined their efforts. Yet, after that single blow, ten Saints who had arrived were reduced to ashes, allowing the Human World to narrowly escape annihilation. However, that strike violated the will of the Second Heaven, resulting in punishment: two 100-million-year cycles without any possibility of becoming a Saint."

"They just declare a punishment? How do they enforce it?" Peter seemed to grasp the situation.

The Saint of Heaven Origin explained, "Powerful beings from the Second Heaven descended and forcibly stripped half of the Holy_Path Will from the Human World. Since that moment, the Will of the Saint has been incomplete in our world, making it impossible for even the strongest individuals to become Saints!"

Sigh!

The group collectively sighed once more.

The Northern Saint said, "Never mind two 100-million-year cycles; look at us now. After just one cycle, the Human Clan has already lost two Saints, and extinction looms closer. If we’re to endure another cycle, the Human World will surely be obliterated!"

"Is the Second Heaven really that powerful?" Peter was genuinely astounded by what he heard.

The Saint_of_Kunlun said, "If not for your appearance, our Human World might have already reached an irreversible state of collapse."

The Saint of Heaven Origin added, "In truth, this layer of Heaven is already a place lacking the Heavenly Dao’s Will. For ages, it’s been known as the Lost Garden. We are but a forsaken people. In the lofty Second Heaven, those of our layer are deemed as nothing more than livestock, subject to arbitrary slaughter."

Such a revelation?

Peter was now entirely stunned.

The Saint of Heaven Origin continued, "And there’s an additional truth unknown to you. The root of the calamity that befell the Human World in ancient times was caused by the Giant Being Tribe. Originally, their territory was not as vast. However, after that war, they occupied half of the Human World’s domain, reducing our world from one of Twelve Saints to merely Six Saints. From that battle alone, we lost six Saints."

"They utilized the Human World’s territory to generate six Saints of their own?" Peter finally understood.

The group sighed heavily once more.

"Peter, in the Second Heaven, the Giant Being Tribe holds significant influence. The devastation and disgrace experienced by our tribe are all their doing. Laughably, all this time, they pretend to get along well with us, thinking we don’t know their schemes."

"How did you discover this?"

"One of our fallen Saints uncovered this secret in their investigation. The stripping away of half the Holy_Path Will from the Human World was orchestrated through their collusion. Their goal has always been the total annihilation of the Human Clan!"

Even the involvement of Second Heaven forces? free𝑤ebnovel.com

Peter felt deeply shaken. If this were true, then the Human World, deprived of its Will, would be entirely incapable of producing Saints, effectively spelling doom.

"How can we restore the Will of the Saint?"

The Saint of Heaven Origin’s eyes lit up as he replied, "Half of the Holy_Path Will of the Human World was merged into the world of the Giant Being Tribe. If we can eliminate their six Saints, the Will could manifest and return to the Human World upon release."

Peter nodded faintly. Initially, he had hoped for a peaceful respite, but now he realized that there was still much to accomplish.

"Peter, we have deliberated over this issue for a long time. When we still had Six Saints, we considered using surprise tactics to eliminate one or two of their Saints, then rally forces from other tribes to wipe them out. Unfortunately, we could never ally with the Foreign Tribes. In fact, during the last crisis, we were once again surrounded and attacked, leading to the loss of two more Saints. We now lack the strength to pursue our plan. Truly, we had lost hope—until your arrival restored a glimmer of it. Our idea is to use our full strength to hold off attacks from all directions while you infiltrate the world of the Giant Beings and assassinate their Saints."

Peter could see clearly that this plan was born of utter desperation—gambling everything they had on a slim chance.

"Peter, this is the situation. Shamefully, we cannot offer you any assistance but expect you, an unascended individual, to assassinate Saints. It is laughable, yet we have no other course."

Peter understood this was their last-ditch effort, inspired by the potential they saw in his formation skills, the only plan they could conceive in their dire situation.

The Saint_of_Kunlun lamented, "It’s extremely difficult—this task far exceeds what one might imagine. Even though they’ve lost two Saints, they still have ten remaining, and none are easily slain."

"There’s no other choice. Another elimination cycle is fast approaching. Without any changes, the Human World’s territory will be further compressed!"
