A scheme?...
That was right!
This was a scheme!
Although, from the looks of it, the Beast King was the only one who knew the secret of Pseudo-Divine Power after obtaining those memories from it, the four gods had also realized back then that the seals formed from their bodies might one day be broken. Thus, before their deaths, they had devised a contingency plan.
To prevent Pseudo-Divine Power from turning the entire Sparlier World into a world of monsters, the four gods could only seal it within their own bodies. Then, before the life force in their bodies was completely devoured by Pseudo-Divine Power, they exhausted all their strength to create five beads from fragments of Mythic Armament.
These five beads, made from fragments of Mythic Armament, possessed the ability to seal Pseudo-Divine Power!
The four gods handed all five beads capable of sealing Pseudo-Divine Power to Elu. Elu locked them inside the Ring of Force, then left the key to unlocking the Ring of Force—the sapling of the Guardian Divine Tree—in the Land of the Gods, leaving behind a clue for future generations. After that, together with the other three gods, he transformed into a seal and thoroughly suppressed the Pseudo-Divine Power within their bodies inside Giant Beast Forest.
Although Wu Yan's group did not know this secret, since they already knew that Pseudo-Divine Power was the so-called great calamity the gods had spoken of, they naturally knew that the five beads obtained from the Ring of Force were tools capable of dealing with Pseudo-Divine Power.
Purple had thought of this, which was why she had Wu Yan open a telepathic conversation and ask Garin for the items
