Why did Ye Han think so? Because he had discovered that the arrival of the Star-Sea Blood Tide really had forced the Star-Seizing Tower and the Stars Pillar to divert much of their restriction power into resisting it...
With his cultivation, Ye Han could still sense that, among the Stars Pillar's many illusory tests, there were quite a few stages he could never have passed had the requirements been stricter or the opponents stronger.
That meant the weakening of the Stars Pillar had made things much easier for him. No wonder Elder Liu and Zhang Qingshan had not waited for him. They wanted to brave its tests while the Star-Sea Blood Tide was battering it.
In Ye Han's view, the Stars Pillar did not seem to have been part of the Star-Seizing Tower from the beginning. It seemed more like a trap left behind after the ancient human race had been besieged and defeated by the immortal race, the devil race, and others, meant to deal with those races or any foreign-race cultivators hostile to the ancient human race...
Why did he say that?
Take the final stage Ye Han had passed. Besieged by an army of the immortal race, he had to assume the role of a leader among the immortal-race cultivators and lead the ancient human race's last surviving bloodline to safety...
He had no idea what had gotten into him, but as though driven by ghosts and spirits, he had actually chosen to sacrifice himself to preserve that last bloodline, passing the illusory realm's trial.
Anyone from the immortal race, the devil race, or any other foreign-race cultivator harboring sinister intentions would never have done such a thing from the bottom of their heart. They would have been sealed by the restrictions and killed outright...
