Chapter 610: The Truth of the Path to Heaven (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Feng Qi first learned about the Path to Heaven from Lu Yue.
However, he still did not know where the Path to Heaven was or what kind of place it was.
However, through the exploration of many timelines, he had a rough guess.
The people blocking the way that Fog was talking about might be the human experts who had disappeared in history. The route to stop the invasion of the domain creatures was the Path to Heaven.
However, the current information could not provide an accurate explanation as to whether these guesses were the answer.
Now that he learned that Tian Shu had gone to the Path to Heaven and returned from it, he suddenly realized that he might be able to understand the truth of the Path to Heaven from him.
With anticipation and doubt, he looked straight at Tian Shu and asked.
“Tian Shu, what exactly is the Path to Heaven? Can you tell me in detail?”
Tian Shu nodded without hesitation.
“It’s a pathway that links to another world, specifically the domain world. To be more precise, it’s not just one path, but a multitude of paths.”
“If the lifeforms from the domain world wish to enter our human world, they must opt to either open a new path or follow an existing one. Only through these means can they access our world.”
“The other Heavenly Soldiers and I act as guardians on this pathway. We prevent all the forces from the domain world that seek to destroy human civilization from descending into our world. Hence, the Path to Heaven is also known as the first line of defense. We roam along the constantly opening connecting paths, eliminating the majority of domain forces attempting to invade the human world.”
Hearing Tian Shu’s answer, Feng Qi finally knew that his guess was right.
However, he still had many doubts.
Thinking of this, he continued to ask.
“But I don’t understand. With the human world already under such extensive invasion, why continue to focus solely on halting the domain factions? Why not return and collaborate to rebuild human civilization, united against the domain invasion threatening various cities?”
Tian Shu couldn’t help but shake his head.
“You’re oversimplifying things. The Path to Heaven is the origin of the domain factions’ invasion of the human world. If we don’t obstruct the source, more domain factions will infiltrate our world. The human world is vast, and dealing with the issue at its roots is more efficient than wandering and hunting all over. Without the relentless battles fought by the Heavenly Soldiers, the human world would be in a much worse state than it is now.”
Tian Shu’s explanation solved a problem that had troubled Feng Qi for a long time.
He had thought about it back then.
If the people blocking the Path to Heaven were humans, why didn’t they choose to return to the human world?
They all had the strength to rival domain factions. With their help, they would speed up the construction process of human civilization.
But now that he thought about it, his way of thinking was too simple.
Perhaps the Heavenly Soldiers have halted 80%, or even 90%, or even more of the invading forces. If they hadn’t intervened, the catastrophe that humanity would have faced could only be imagined.
For example, the Fog Race where the owner of the fog was from.
If not for the Heavenly Soldiers, the entire Fog Race would have descended on the human world and brought about destructive power.
The owner of the fog would be even more terrifying if it wasn’t seriously injured at the beginning and had a group of powerful clansmen.
He now understood what Tian Shu meant.
The Path to Heaven was like a sieve. Although there would still be mistakes during the screening process, it was the least harmful method to human civilization.
Without these Heavenly Soldiers, perhaps there would not even be a human defense line in the five main cities.
“We’ve tried our best to stop the domain factions from invading, but there will still be domain factions who will open a brand new path in places we haven’t noticed and enter the human world.”
At this point, Tian Shu could not help but sigh.
“We have also thought of a way to deal with this. In the end, we made a decision. All the descendants who grew up on the Path to Heaven will be sent back to the human world when they reach the age of 16. They will help humans resist the domain creatures. Then, when they are strong enough, they will return to become Heavenly Soldiers.”
“Lu Yue?” Mu Qing exclaimed softly.
Feng Qi nodded.
“That’s correct. It seems Lu Yue is affiliated with the Path to Heaven. Even though he wasn’t born there, he grew up on the Path to Heaven. While he might appear formidable to us, it’s impractical to combat the ruthless domain factions on the perilous Path to Heaven. Being sent back to the human world can be viewed as a form of growth and training, but ultimately, his destiny remains tied to the Path to Heaven.”
“You’re right. When they have enough strength, the old woman will find them and bring them back to the Path to Heaven.” Tian Shu nodded.
“Can’t you go by yourself?”
“It’s easy to come back, but it’s difficult to go to the Path to Heaven. Only the old woman can travel freely… However, from what you say, you seem to have a friend from the Path to Heaven, and he didn’t tell you the truth.”
“Yes, but he’s just a riddler. He never talks to me much about the Path to Heaven.”
“It’s not his fault. Sending any information about the Path to Heaven to the human world is prohibited. It’s the primary rule for every child born on the Path to Heaven or raised there to eventually head to the human world.”
When Feng Qi heard this, he nodded.
“I roughly understand what’s going on. They should be afraid that the news of the Path to Heaven will be known by the outside world, causing a huge panic. If they know that the challenges facing humans are far greater than they think, it might cause a large number of humans to be pessimistic about the future and give up on themselves..”
