Just as Su Yang was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something: "Right, weren’t there others who entered this Spirit Birthplace before? Where did they go?"

"Before I came in, those people must have passed through the halo into the Great World, and then they died there. The Guardian God would never let them return alive to the Land of Chaos to reveal these secrets," the man said, "After I came in, not many have entered the Spirit Birthplace. Those few you just saw came in after me. I stopped them from entering the Great World, and they’re staying with me here, helping me guard this exit!"

"So that’s how it is!" Su Yang recalled those Human Clan powerhouses from before; so that’s their origin.

"The strength of these people is quite impressive." Su Yang said; each of them had powers surpassing the Nine Palace Main God, which is no small feat.

The Nine Palace Main God, after all, is a Main God of the Guardian God. Although perhaps on the lower end among Main Gods, to become a Main God is not something ordinary powerhouses can achieve. For these Human Clan powerhouses to surpass him is truly remarkable.

"They initially had average strength and cultivated here," the man said.

Su Yang glanced at the man. Although the man didn’t say much, Su Yang knew that these people could cultivate to such a level surely due to his guidance. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have reached this level.

"But the entrance to the wormhole has been sealed by the Guardian God. How can I return?" Su Yang asked.

"To return, you naturally need to use the Guardian God’s Token!" The man handed a jade pendant to Su Yang: "Hold this token, and you can pass freely!"

"This is the Guardian God’s Token?" Su Yang looked at the jade pendant in his hand in surprise: "How do you have the Guardian God’s Token?"

"Hehe..." the man laughed: "Your mother gave it to me. She sealed the passage of your Great World’s Guardian Land back then and stole these tokens. Otherwise, how could the Guardian God of your Great World not have a token?"

Su Yang thought of the Nine Palace Main God’s affairs earlier; they had to borrow tokens from other Great Worlds, which shows they indeed didn’t have tokens. But he didn’t expect that it’s because his mother stole the tokens that they don’t have them.

"Alright, I need to meditate. You shouldn’t linger here either." The man waved his hand: "We’ll meet again if fate allows!"

After speaking, the man’s body gradually became translucent until he completely disappeared before Su Yang.

Su Yang was dumbfounded, watching the man’s body vanish, feeling a growing sense of familiarity. But he still couldn’t recall where he’d seen the man before.

However, the man was already gone, so Su Yang didn’t linger any longer. He retraced his steps, taking about half a day to return to the place with the original barrier.

Previously, Su Yang had attempted to return here but was obstructed by the barrier. Now with the Guardian God’s Token in hand, he encountered no hindrance and effortlessly walked out through the gap.

Passing through the gap led him into the canyon of Bright City.

Su Yang originally thought the outside was still in chaotic battle, mentally preparing for any unexpected situation. However, upon exiting the canyon, he found the chaos already ended, leaving the outside silent.

It seems the Spiritual Birth Day has concluded, so naturally, the battle is over.

Su Yang looked around in confusion; the people who were guarding this canyon before had disappeared. He cautiously flew out of the canyon and turned his head, seeing no one around. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

But Su Yang could still sense many guards beneath the mountain. This canyon of Bright City is the Spirit Birthplace and extremely important to Bright City, forbidden territory to outsiders.

Even after the Spiritual Birth Day ended, others aren’t allowed near the Spirit Birthplace.

Su Yang felt a bit dazed, having fallen into the canyon under many eyes earlier. If he went down now, it would surely surprise the guards, possibly leading him to be interrogated by the Bright City Lord. Because, for years, no one who entered the Spirit Birthplace has come out.

As Su Yang pondered how to resolve the dilemma at hand, someone flew over from not far away.

Su Yang’s expression changed rapidly; the person was close, yet he hadn’t sensed anything. This indicated the person’s strength far exceeded his!

When Su Yang clearly saw who it was, he became even more anxious. Because it was the Bright City Lord!

The Bright City Lord actually discovered him? Wasn’t he fighting someone in Outer Heaven earlier? Did he also notice what happened below?

Su Yang continually calculated how to respond to the Bright City Lord. At this moment, the Bright City Lord was already in front of him.

"Greetings, friend!" The Bright City Lord smiled gently, as if greeting an acquaintance.

Su Yang felt even more perplexed; what is happening? He’s still wearing Bright City guard attire, surely the Bright City Lord could see that. But why is he speaking this way? Does he need to be this polite to his subordinates?

Seeing Su Yang’s confused expression, the Bright City Lord smiled and continued: "No need to worry, friend. I’m here to send you out of the city!"

"You’re... you’re sending me out of the city?" Su Yang was astonished, wondering what exactly the Bright City Lord meant.

The Bright City Lord chuckled and suddenly transmitted a message: "I’m aware those Guardian Gods can’t exit the wormhole. I also know you’ll emerge from it!"

Su Yang’s heart stirred; he stared wide-eyed at the Bright City Lord. This person knew about the wormhole, and he understood the Guardian Gods couldn’t exit the wormhole, implying he knew the situation inside the wormhole.

Thus, was the Bright City Lord also informed of Su Yang’s mother’s plan?

"You..." Su Yang hurriedly tried to ask.

"Speak when we’re outside!" The Bright City Lord interrupted Su Yang with a message, preventing further inquiries.

Su Yang glanced around, realizing the Bright City Lord was cautious about something, and dared not speak further, quickly following him outside.

Below the mountain, a batch of guards were no longer present. The Bright City Lord led Su Yang out from this direction, with no one noticing at all.
