Li Yaotong looked for a long time, but couldn't discern any similarities, except...
They were all golden!
Golden?
Gold?!
Li Yaotong said uncertainly, "The reason they can restrain the demons, could it be gold?!"
"Gold?"
Upon hearing Li Yaotong's words, everyone immediately turned their attention to Sheng Rulai's Zen Staff and the Cross in Reinhardt's hands.
Indeed, from the material it was clear, both Sheng Rulai's Zen Staff and Reinhardt's Cross were made of gold.
Could the reason they suppress demons be gold?
The crowd was unsure if this was the truth, but felt the possibility was significant.
"Too bad I didn't bring any gold with me, otherwise I could give it a try."
San Liu couldn't help but mutter.
Li Yaotong, no longer paying attention to the others, now had a definite direction. He immediately took out his phone and called the local person in charge, instructing them to urgently make a three-meter-long Golden Coffin, and warned them not to cut corners, otherwise they would bear the consequences.
"We can't be certain that gold is what isolated the demon's revival strength, but I've already asked someone to make a Golden Coffin. If it works, the situation might not be as complicated."
After hanging up the phone, Li Yaotong spoke softly, "Before the local person in charge delivers the Golden Coffin, I'm going to trouble the two of you."
Naturally, the last remark was addressed to Sheng Rulai and Reinhardt.
After all, among those present, only they had the ability to temporarily suppress the demonized Dante.
"Of course," Sheng Rulai didn't refuse.
Reinhardt did not speak; he was still reciting Scriptures and suppressing the demons, but he turned his back to the crowd and nodded slightly.
A few hours later.
The local person in charge then sent a team escorted by a vehicle carrying a pure gold-built coffin.
The darkness and chaos, the resurrection of the demons, had occurred on their territory. With someone coming to resolve this, they naturally took it very seriously and dared not disregard Li Yaotong's words.
Using several tons of gold to construct a coffin, even if it cost billions, they absolutely wouldn't hesitate.
They were also hoping that everyone could save them, or at least resolve this dark turmoil soon.
"Master Li, the Golden Coffin has been delivered. We truly appreciate that despite your busy schedule, you could come to assist us..."
A responsible person got out of the car, directed workers to carry the Golden Coffin down, and then with a face full of ingratiating smiles, approached Li Yaotong, greeting him in not-so-fluent Chinese.
"Set it down, and you all may leave," Li Yaotong said indifferently.
He had no interest in dealing with these officials; having them place down the item and leave was enough to prevent any disturbances.
Upon hearing Li Yaotong's words, the ingratiating smile on the face of the responsible person stiffened, but he did not fly into a rage. After all, the lives of everyone in their entire nation depended on the few people present.
"Yes, yes, yes, we will leave right away." The responsible person quickly recovered, nodding and bowing in agreement.
Then, he instructed people to place the Golden Coffin on the ground and hurried back into the vehicle, speeding away.
As Li Yaotong watched the group depart, he withdrew his gaze, looked at the others, and said solemnly, "Now, it's time to test our hypothesis."
"How should we do it?" Le Le asked.
Li Yaotong said, "Together, let's put that demon into the coffin, seal it, and see if we can completely suppress it!"
The crowd, upon hearing this, fell silent and did not immediately respond.
After all, the demon was too sinister and terrifying. With their strength, they couldn't destroy it completely. Who knew if touching it by hand might bring misfortune?
"Why the hesitation? The darkness is stirring, and if we don't resolve this soon and establish the correct suppression method, the situation will only get worse, and sooner or later it will spread a disaster across the world. Do you want to see that happen?"
Li Yaotong, seeing everyone's worries, spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes."
The crowd thought about it and indeed there was no other way. By delaying, they might currently be able to save themselves, but who could guarantee that as they continued to delay, they wouldn't end up harming themselves?
They still had to resolve this incident as soon as possible, and determine a resolution plan early; that way, it would be good for everyone!
With a long sigh, everyone walked over, surrounding the demon's body, preparing for Li Yaotong's next command.
"Reinhardt, just maintain this state. Sheng Rulai, you too, take out the Zen Staff and press it on the demon, just in case."
Li Yaotong began to give commands.
"Amitābha."
Sheng Rulai chanted a Buddhist invocation, then lifted the Golden Zen Staff in his hands and pressed it onto the demon's body.
Li Yaotong continued to give instructions, "Alright, everyone together now, lift the demon, and carry it into the coffin."
"Yes!"
The crowd responded in unison and then all lifted their hands, some grabbing the demon's legs, others its arms, and some its waist.
Even Li Yaotong personally went up and held onto the demon's body.
"I'll count to three, and everyone lifts together."
"One."
"Two…"
"Three!"
Li Yaotong counted to three, and everyone immediately exerted their strength to lift the demon.
"Ergh!"
San Liu was lifting the demon's thigh and could be said to be using all his might; his legs were trembling slightly, and veins bulged on his forehead, barely managing to lift it.
The others were the same; just lifting this demonized Dante was proving to be extremely strenuous and somewhat awkward.
The body of this demon was extraordinarily heavy, almost as if it were a mountain.
It should be noted, as individuals who had reached the God Realm, one among them could carry several large trucks, but now, with more than ten people working together, they were barely able to lift the demon, indicating just how heavy Dante had become after the demonization.
Li Yaotong was so out of breath that he couldn't even speak. He gestured for everyone to hurry and carry the demon into the nearby Golden Coffin.
Fortunately, they had suspected this situation earlier, so they had placed the Golden Coffin nearby in advance, saving them from carrying the demon a long distance.
"Boom!"
Soon, the crowd hoisted the demon into the Golden Coffin nearby, the impact quite violent, as if a mountain had collapsed.
Strangely, though the coffin, made of Gold, could easily be bent out of shape by hand, when the heavily lying demon was placed inside, it caused no change at all.
Evidently, Li Yaotong's guess was correct.
Gold could indeed block the power of the demon's revival!
"Can we let go?"
Sheng Rulai asked Li Yaotong.
He and Reinhardt had not let go of the Cross and Zen Staff pressing down on the demon during the process of lifting it into the Golden Coffin.
Thus, as the demon lay in the Golden Coffin, without the lid being fully sealed, it still hadn't moved.
"Mm, let's try that, but don't hurry to close the coffin," Li Yaotong said softly.
He still wanted to observe for a while longer.
