The crimson light spread along the light gray sky, and the whole sky was as if a piece of paper, being devoured by the flames.

The protectors of the Great Demons’ Alliance stood up and looked up at the sky.

“How spectacular. It’s like the sky is burning.”

A bright red light was reflected in Condor Babe’s eyes, like a fire jumping in her eyes.

The light in the sky was getting stronger and stronger, and gradually, they couldn’t look straight into the sky. They looked down as the light caused their eyes to tear up.

Extreme light often meant extreme heat. As the temperature soared, the mist floating in the air evaporated immediately, followed by a scorching heat.

All of a sudden, they went from a cold autumn to a hot summer.

Rumble!

People who didn’t dare look directly at the sky heard an explosion. They squinted and looked up, protecting their eyes with qi. The crowd saw circles of red light spread across the sky, like ripples caused by stones falling into the water.

Something’s coming out…

The moment they thought of it, the next moment, something emerged from the center of the ripples.

They couldn’t see what it was. It was just the tip of an iceberg of a giant object and was bronze.

It slowly emerged from the center of the ripples, and soon, the entire structure appeared in front of everybody. That’s… a huge palace.

As the palace emerged, the crimson ripples calmed down. The palace was still hovering in the distant skies, like a palace in the clouds.

“The Great Deities Palace…” Protector Right muttered.

It was the first time they were seeing the palace, but at the same time, it was not exactly the first time. At the moment of seeing it, the majestic palaces depicted in the murals flashed in the minds of all the people, as they immediately registered it.

“Oh my God, that’s the real Great Deities Palace.” Hu Yan was dazzled.

Excitement and euphoria surged in the hearts of the people who didn’t know what was in the Great Deities Palace. They were excited by just seeing its appearance.

“Stay here and wait for me,” the Emperor said and flew in the wind, charging towards the distant divine palace.

“Emperor, I’ll take you…” Protector Condor cried out.

At first glance, the Great Deities Palace seems to be on right above them, but it was actually a visual illusion. Its real location was extremely far. A Half-Step Gokudo could fly temporarily in the air, but couldn’t fly for long periods like a bird.

Just after Protector Condor yelled, she stared at the sky in astonishment. The Emperor had disappeared…

The protectors looked at each other. “What should we do now? Follow and take a look?”

“But the Emperor asked us to wait for her here.”

“That’s the Great Deities Palace. You are willing to miss the chance to see it?”

After a discussion, the rational Hu Yan decided not to go, and the other protectors said they wanted to go have a look. Everyone glanced at Protector Condor.

Protector Condor transformed on the spot by rolling on the ground exasperatedly. With a loud cry, she turned into a giant condor of eight meters long. The condor’s gold-colored eyes overlooked everyone arrogantly.

The protectors jumped on the back of the bird and charged towards the Great Deities Palace amidst a loud cry.

Looking at the large condor that has gradually turned into a small black dot as it flew further, Hu Yan sighed. He sat on the ground and scratched his head. “They are all a bunch of silly people. I’m the only one in the Great Demons’ Alliance who has a decent IQ, it’s tiring.”

I’m under a pressure that I shouldn’t bear at my age.

Compared with Baoze, the Great Demons’ Alliance were like little lackeys who often used brute force. Where the emperor points, they charge forward and yell things like “Let’s go” and “Kill”. There was only force but a lack of talent.

The vast majority of the members were even less useful. Most of them were actually demon descendants who had just awakened and a small minority of them were humans.

Humans were the most complex animals, and now that they suddenly gained superpowers, they had grown so arrogant and were really hard to control.

If they were people who were honest and good, that’s fine. If they were people who only knew how to talk… It’s better to kill them, Hu Yan thought.

The construction of the Great Demons’ Alliance had a long way to go and many things to improve on. Hu Yan had a fruitful time and was happy on one hand, but was tired on the hand. It was complicated.

Throughout history, forces like the Great Demons’ Alliance have been doomed to a short-lived prestige, with no future. However, the Great Demons’ Alliance ‘s most unique point was that its leader was the Emperor, a Half-Step peak Gokudo who had reached the top of the Gokudo in five years.

As long as there was a Gokudo master, nothing was a problem. They could always gain talents and earn money. The prospects of the Great Demons’ Alliance was very broad and promising. He could suggest a foreign species paradise free from human oppression.

It was not wishful thinking, as Baoze would agree, just as they agreed to the creation of the Northeast Demons’ Alliance. As foreign species would never disappear, the differences between foreign species’ and humans’ values would cause an inevitable clash.

If a strong foreign species organization could manage these foreign species demon descendants, Baoze would gladly welcome it, provided, of course, that the Great Demons’ Alliance will not disrupt order.

In the sky, Protector Condor was trying her best to fly towards the Great Deities Palace. She had already flown 20,000 meters high, but the Great Deities Palace was still very far away.

“Higher, fly higher.” Condor Babe stomped and urged loudly. Her voice was completely muffled by the wind.

“Let’s go back. We can’t fly to the Great Deities Palace.” Protector Condor said exasperatedly.

“Don’t tell me you can no longer fly,” Protector Bull said.

The limit of the flight height of a common bird was 11,000 meters, and this record was set by the black and white vultures in Africa. As a top S-class, the stratosphere was her limit.

Protector Condor returned to the bronze building, and the protectors jumped off her back.

“The Emperor really didn’t seem to fly that high.”

“What’s going on? We can’t enter the Great Deities Palace?”

“So there’s a reason why the Emperor wants us to stay here.”

The protectors sighed.

Of course the Emperor couldn’t fly this high. She only flew for a while and disappeared from sight. They flew over 10,000 meters, and the Great Deities Palace was still extremely far away. It was clear that access to the Great Deities Palace was conditional, although they didn’t know which conditions it was based on.

“We’ll just wait here for the Emperor?”

“That’s all we can do now.”

…

Combat God crouched on the floor, scrutinizing a dry corpse. After observing it for a while, he finically identified it as the body of the Shentu family’s prospective family master, Shentu Junyan.

“They have different wounds, but they all have a unique characteristic, that is they have been drained of essence and qi, thus resembling a dry corpse.” Black God who was also examining the body, made a judgment.

“It’s different from the bodies we have met before, although at first glance, they are all dried corpses.” White God frowned and turned to look around.

Apart from the three of them, there was the God of Food and Ape God. Amongst the rest of the S-class members, Thunderlord stayed in the camp to look after Fire God, who was injured badly. The rest of the S-Class members were out hunting their targets.

After two days and one night of hunting, five S-Class members gathered together. They planned to meet and exchange their target name list, before setting off to work on their own.

However, God of Food received bad news that, apart from them, there seemed to be another force hunting down demon descendants in the Great Deities. This force used cruel means, and the victims’ bodies were dried out.

There was no evidence of spiritual forms cohesion at the scene, and it was suspected that their primordial spirit had been taken away.

Souls will slowly dissipate after death and it will take seven days for the average person. It would take one month, or even months for the primordial spirit of demon descendants to fade away. Of which, the spiritual forms of the Taoist clan’s Yin God and the mental power awakeners will linger longer.

Thus, when you kill an opponent, the demon descendants tend to shatter the other’s primordial spirit and prevent the opponent from becoming a vengeful spirit. But even so, the primordial spirit will linger for days.

However, when God of Food found the corpses, there was no aura of the primordial spirit before it disappeared.

Out of caution, the five gods did not disperse, but gathered together.

“It wasn’t done by the same force. This guy who drained the essence and qi just shattered the primordial spirit of the dead.It’s the opposite of what we have seen before,” the God of Food said.

Ape God picked up a body and observed carefully for a while. He let out a questioning noise. “Hmm?”

“What have you found?” White God looked at him.

Ape God had a strange expression. “Li Xianyu did it.”

The four looked at him in shock.

Ape God nodded. “Yes, it’s him. The evil creature in his left hand has the power of draining essence and qi. I saw him do this in the valley where he was fighting for the inheritance of the Demonic Priest. The memories are still vivid.”

Well, it was the first time that he had screwed up as he was impacted by Li Xianyu’s trouble magnet characteristics and almost died there.

“He’s actively hunting down demon descendants,” White God said. “Knowing our secret mission to kill the demon descendants, he has let himself go, killing every major power indiscriminately. These people are definitely not the only victims.”

This kid’s ruthless. Ape God shook his head and sighed. “He was never a kind man to begin with. To him, the Great Deities Palace is an excellent opportunity. When Li Wuxiang was the world’s enemy, he didn’t need to know who his enemies were. He just had to kill them all. In fact, he did find his enemies. There were too many, the major forces more or less used martial force against his father.”

“It doesn’t matter. They are dead anyway.” God of Food shrugged and arranged the corpses. “Tsk, how cruel, leaving only corpses with no essence.”

How am I going to eat this? God of Food thought.

These random lackeys were dead and it couldn’t be considered as indiscriminate killing against the innocent. Baoze’s goal was to purge the entrenched powers of the major families, and the random lackeys attached to them are also enemies.

They were like soldiers. There was no innocent soldier.

“It’s good for us to have this kid and the unknown forces to wipe out the demon descendants. However, we are also the target of the other party’s hunting.” Ape God frowned. “Which force do you think did this?”

“We can rule out the Buddhist society directly. Among the seven surnames, we have not encountered the Shen family, Zhao family, Wang family, and Xu family. The scattered cultivators organization has suffered great casualties and we have encountered batches of corpses, so it shouldn’t be them. Then there are the foreign forces, and I’m particularly suspicious of the Sakurai and Murray families.” Combat God analyzed the situation.

He didn’t talk much usually, and only said so much in one breath only when he was talking about business.

“But neither the Sakurai nor the Murray family seems to have the ability to ingest primordial spirits.” As a top S-class mental power awakener, Black God undoubtedly had a say. “Neither I nor White God has that ability. On the contrary, certain special Taoist and Buddhist techniques are capable of doing it.”

“Are you saying we should just wipe out the Buddhist society?” Combat God’s eyes narrowed.

“Why not? It’s time for the Buddhist society to get their act together,” God of Food said.

“No.” Ape God, who had origins in both Taoism and Buddhism, rejected it. “Lightning King did not say to let us touch the members of Taoist and Buddhist clans.”

“We have the power to adapt to circumstances.” Black God argued, “Over the years, the Buddhist society has fallen. Look at how many monks and priests have come to the Great Deities Palace this time? They are tempted when there is a treasure. As for law enforcement, they have been showing a lot of compromise to the major families. We can do things that are inconvenient for Buddha Head to do.”

“Although our mission is to kill all demon descendants, we are no different from an evil cult if we really do so,” Combat God replied calmly.

There was a division in opinion.

God of Food thought, How about this, we’ll go back and gather all the S-class members and put a vote to this.

The Ten Gods of Baoze were equal in power and rarely gathered together. When differences arise and no one could come up with a decision, they could only decide by voting.

At this time, the sky was lit up as the faint light rapidly spread, painting half of the sky red. Then, as the thunderclap waves exploded through the sky, a towering divine palace floated in the sky amidst the ripples of light.

“That’s… the Great Deities Palace?”

“The real Great Deities Palace?”

“In that direction, look…”

…

“The murals, the murals when my father entered the Great Deities Palace, didn’t you see?”

In addition to the events that happened to the ancient demon that was sealed at the bottom of the pond, there was also another mural, depicting what happened, when the person entering the Great Deities Palace brought out the ancient demon’s shedding.

Li Xianyu told Jie Se about the story of the Demonic Priest entering the Great Deities Palace and obtained Slime, which was carved into a mural.

“You haven’t discovered such important information? Are you kidding me?” Li Xianyu glared.

Jie Se saw his dark expression and huffed. “I have certainly observed the murals carefully, but I haven’t seen the mural you described.”

“Monks do not lie.”

“No means no. Even if I didn’t manage to see, do you think everyone didn’t see it?”

Li Xianyu sat there with a dull expression.

“Is he okay?” Jie Se stared at Hua Yang.

Hua Yang shook her head. “He’s thinking. Don’t bother him.”

After such a long time, she had a good understanding of Li Xianyu. There were only two situations in which he was so confused: he was in deep thought or he fell into a deep meltdown.

For example, Great-Grandma spending all his bank card balances overnight, would be the second case.

Why was there no mural? Li Xianyu thought. Was it because the artist had no inspiration, was not in the right state and was lazy to draw?

For starters, it was clear that the artist had a habit of depicting events to record them. The bottom of the pond that sealed Slime and the bottom of the pond that sealed the meat of evolution are murals, which could best attest to this fact.

In human civilization, murals were an art and an aesthetic.

However, if one were to go back to a more distant primitive society, murals were a way of remembering. As there was no text, murals replaced text.

Li Xianyu had reason to believe that the artist had drawn the murals to record events rather than simply drawing them for pleasure.

Well, since the artist painted the murals of the Demonic Priest entering the Great Deities Palace, it should never ignore the fact that his biological father entered the Great Deities Palace.

The question was, what made the artist stop painting? There were only a few possibilities. One was that the artist felt that Li Wuxiang was not as important as the Demonic Priest, and was disdainful to record it. The second was when Li Wuxiang entered the Great Deities Palace, the artist wasn’t home. The third was that the artist left with Li Wuxiang.

The first guess could be ruled out. While the Demonic Priest was a peak Gokudo master, he entered the Great Deities Palace as an average priest. His biological father was a half-step Gokudo then when he entered.

The second is unrealistic because the Great Deities Palace has been closed for so many years and only opened at certain timings. Once closed, nothing can enter nor leave.

Then there’s only one possibility left!

The unknown presence had most likely left Great Deities Palace with his biological father.

Li Xianyu shivered and was startled by his speculation.

Who is the long-standing existence of the Great Deities Palace that recorded the events of the Great Deities Palace over the years? The keeper of the Great Deities Palace, or one of the eight ancient demons?

Li Xianyu gasped.

“What did you gather?” Hua Yang asked.

Li Xianyu told her his conjecture, and Hua Yang was silent after listening.

“You mean, your father didn’t just bring the meat of evolution out of the Great Deities Palace,” After a long while, Hua Yang said softly.

“He might not have necessarily brought it out with him, but it followed him out,” Li Xianyu said gravely.

“Bring out” and “follow him” were two distinct meanings, and the results caused were different.

Jie Se thought about it and understood, shivering. “Was your father’s death related to that thing?”

Li Xianyu was pleased that Jie Se’s IQ had finally come online, although this was not a good time to be relieved.

“I have analyzed earlier that just the greed of various forces of the demon descendants community is impossible to force my father to die. My great-grandmother was a Gokudo master, and with your master Buddha Head, two Gokudo masters were standing behind him.”

“Even if Buddha Head couldn’t step out to teach the Buddhist society a lesson, it’s not hard for a Gokudo to protect someone, isn’t it?”

A Gokudo master was also dignified, and no one dared to push a Gokudo master to desperation.

“My father was already a half-Step Gokudo master, and, according to my great-grandmother, his ability of reinforcement has reached a very high level and was one of the most powerful amongst half-step Gokudo masters. He should be comparable to Baoze’s big boss. If he doesn’t want to die, who can force him to his death? At the most, he could go abroad and live in seclusion.”

“But he chose to end his life and not let Great-Grandma and Buddha Head get involved. What do you think happened?”

“Unless it was a trouble that my master and your great-grandmother couldn’t handle,” Jie Se replied.

“Smart.” Li Xianyu snapped his fingers, and wanted to hit Jie Se’s bald head.

“If it’s something in the Great Deities Palace which followed my father quietly and entangled with him, doesn’t it make sense?”

Jie Se and Hua Yang were silent as they were deep in thought.

It was crazy to hear of an existence that two Gokudo masters couldn’t handle, but if that existence was from the Great Deities Palace, it seemed reasonable.

Great-Grandma was not the Unparalleled War Spirit at her peak and Buddha Head was just an ordinary Gokudo master. The two of them were not invincible. As for the mysterious existence of the Great Deities Palace… It was hard to define what it was, but it was definitely extremely unusual.

“So my father was forced to seek death.” Li Xianyu was agitated as he felt he had solved the secret 20 years ago.

“Did the existence take over your father’s will?” Hua Yang asked softly.

The light in her eyes dimmed, and she speculated about the real reason behind Li Wuxiang’s death.

“I don’t know…” Li Xianyu shook his head.

The ancient demons’ shedding had power to corrupt and take over an individual. Once tangled with it, it was like a plaster that would never leave. Demonic Priest was the best example.

However, the threat that Slime posed, though troublesome, was not enough to threaten him. If so, his biological father should not be afraid of being taken over… Then again, Slime was incomplete. At its peak, even Demonic Priest couldn’t overcome it.

“Wait, something’s not right. Didn’t the ancient demons’ shedding that your father brought out from the Great Deities Palace fall into the hands of the hands of the Emperor of the Great Demons’ Alliance?” Jie Se said.

Oh right, you are pretty smart after all, Li Xianyu thought. He replied, “The existence who left with my father was the creator of the murals, not the ancient demons’ shedding that was sealed at the bottom of the pond. It’s hard to say, and maybe it’s also an ancient demons’ shedding. Thus, my father had no choice but to die to fight the corruption.”

This was a good guess, and Jie Se nodded. His eyes suddenly lit up. “One of the ancient demons’ shedding was obtained by the Emperor of the Great Demons’ Alliance, so what about the remaining one?”

Hua Yang looked at Li Xianyu subconsciously, and Jie Se also glanced at Li Xianyu. The handsome monk said excitedly, “That way, your strange self-healing powers can be explained.”

Li Xianyu and Hua Yang’s eyes also lit up.

Two ancient demons’ shedding: one in the hands of the Emperor of the Great Demons’ Alliance and one in the hands of Li Xianyu.

The doubts that had dogged Li Xianyu for so long had finally been resolved.

“We are close to the truth, but we haven’t figured out a lot of things yet.” Hua Yang reminded them. “Your father could only get rid of them by ending his life. If you and the emperor inherit the ancient demons’ shedding, how were you immune from the ancient demons’ shedding corruption?”

If this question was not properly answered, there was a logical error in the speculation.

Jie Se suddenly uttered, “Maybe you are the one that senior Wuxiang brought out of the Great Deities Palace.”

“Fuck off. No way,” Li Xianyu replied exasperatedly.

It’s a shame you are not writing a novel, such wild imagination. Li Xianyu snarked.

“You have never seen your biological mother, have you?” Jie Se explained confidently, “A mother who just had a child didn’t raise the child by herself, but lets her husband take the child away to be raised by his sworn brother. Doesn’t it seem strange?”

“Maybe your biological mother doesn’t exist. You are not senior Wuxiang’s son. The real Li family descendant is living a quiet and secure life somewhere nobody knows.”

“Are you insane? How do you explain the relationship between Great-Grandma and me? If I’m not from the Li family’s bloodline, how could I have awakened her? If I’m not from the Li family’s bloodline, how could I give her energy?” Li Xianyu scoffed.

He continued, “Great-Grandma also said that my biological mother is just a normal human being. It’s normal to marry again after losing her husband at a young age. Do you want her to stay single with me for her whole life? At this point, my dad offered to give me to someone to raise me and she would gladly accept that.”

“That’s true.” Jie Se nodded. Jie Se’s imagination had completely gone wild and he just said whatever he was thinking. However, Li Xianyu kept thinking about this and was in deep contemplation.

Although Li Xianyu has no doubt about his life, his active thinking and paranoid character always made him feel compelled to have suspicions.
