you have drunk water if you were of
equal standing it might graciously
accept your agulation but if not had not
a hotty existence often holds itself in
high regard refusing to allow anyone to
surpass it thus the simplest method of
provocation often proves to be the most
effective means of dealing with such
beings however you may be unaware that
within the hearts of contemporary
Humanity your standing among the nine
Elemental Lords is presently the weakest
the one's most admir Ed and revered by
humankind are the Lord of Earth and the
lord of the SE as for the Lord of
Heaven K many may not have even heard of
him as you do not flaunt your power
before us like your kin do chapter
277 The Crusade against the guide I
believe that in just a few short years
Humanity will completely forget the Lord
of Heaven but I suspect you will not be
concerned by this if something has never
existed then it has never been born if
it has never been born what fear is
there in forgetting enough of this I too
must take my leave we humans are
preparing for a great Southward
migration and before we set sail we must
pay our respects with a tribute to the
most exalted lord of the sea as icho
spoke he was about to LEAP from the
precipice when an invisible wave of air
suddenly pulled him back A sly smile
crept upon yunk lowered face do you have
business the voice of the Lord of Heaven
suddenly echoed I am the beginning the
creator of this realm in order to
construct all things waved his hand to
bestow Grace granting life to the nine
elements in this domain there was first
heaven then Earth followed by water and
thereafter all things came into being
before all things how could beings
forget themselves icho raised his head
acknowledging the predicament we are
born of the earth nourished by soil
water and forests allowing us to thrive
generation after generation heaven is
far too lofty we mere dogs at the bottom
of the well cannot hope to ascend and
Heaven pays no heed to our survival we
have far too many matters to attend to
and naturally we will selectively forget
that which is irrelevant should the
heavens bestow their Grace upon us we
would not hesitate to reclaim our faith
and offer our devotion to the celestial
deities rising to his feet Yeo declared
this is my final visit perhaps I am the
last to come here after this there shall
be no more climbers with that he turned
to depart preparing to descend the
mountain yet at that moment ichio
unexpectedly collided with an invisible
barrier he reached out to touch the air
barrier before him the sensation was
strikingly similar to the 99 layers of
the Forbidden Sky Barrier within the
sealed realm just then a transparent
human silhouette began to materialize in
the air before him the last time you
were here did you not inquire about the
199 layers of the barrier now I shall
reveal its Origins since our Inception
no life or existence has ever threatened
us save for our creator however for
100,000 years ago countless
extraterrestrial beings descended Upon
This Land some of those entities even
surpassed us instilling within us a
sense of threat for the first time
consequently we acques to a human
request and joined forces to expel those
Celestial visitors yet it was not long
before a far more terrifying entity was
created by that very human it took root
here ens snaring us with its tendrils
for hundreds of thousands of years we
have been compelled to serve it becoming
mere extensions of its roots until a
millennium ago an event transpired that
entity began to Decay and split into two
we waited for this day for a full
400,000 years the decay of that entity
was our sole opportunity for Liberation
we aided the entity that emerged from
the split imprisoning itself the 99
layers of the barrier were crafted by my
hand from that moment onward we regained
