Seeing so many Origin Stones, even Sky Blade found himself at a loss.
His heart was both excited and uneasy.
Originally, if it had only been nine Consciousness Mystic Crystals, he would not have reacted like this... but so many Origin Stones were strategic-grade resources.
On a certain level, Consciousness Mystic Crystals were far more important than Origin Stones.
But in the end, there were only nine Consciousness Mystic Crystals. The number was too small, and nurturing demigods required a long time. Even with nine more First Tribulation Realm demigods, it would only ease humanity's situation somewhat; it could not determine victory or defeat.
Humanity was not like the other races.
The pressure they faced was simply too great.
Though nine Consciousness Mystic Crystals were important, they were not enough to drive the alien races mad... But once news of the Origin Stones leaked out, the alien races would truly launch an all-out assault at any cost.
Others might not know what Origin Stones were capable of, but Sky Blade knew very well.
Ordinary people only knew that Origin Stones could accelerate cultivation and hasten one's comprehension of certain laws... They did not know that Origin Stones also had tremendous effects on the injuries and vitality of certain terrifying experts.
"You three... have truly brought me a heaven-shaking surprise... and a fright as well."
"So many Origin Stones are no small matter. This concerns far too much... This time, even I may not be able to protect you."
"Does anyone else know about these Origin Stones?"
"Think carefully! Do not overlook a single detail! The Consciousness Mystic Crystals are a minor matter. Once news of the Origin Stones leaks out, humanity will suffer a true catastrophe of annihilation! You do not understand how serious this is—I am absolutely not joking
