703: Chapter 253: A Group of Losers_6 703: Chapter 253: A Group of Losers_6 The Supreme Ancestral Demon said,
“What about those Ancient Demons who collect the souls of Immortals?”
Sun Wukong suddenly asked.
The Supreme Ancestral Demon stated it so plainly, like an innocent flower, but Wukong wasn’t buying it.
If things were really that nice, why be called a Demon Ancestor?
Instantly, the Supreme Ancestral Demon’s expression stiffened.
A massive face-slapping moment.
“Ahem ahem, that was a momentary oversight on the part of this old ancestor, and it shouldn’t be blamed on me.
Moreover, those Ancient Demons actually killed some unfilial Immortals, so in a way, they were eliminating a scourge from the Three Realms,”
the Supreme Ancestral Demon explained confidently.
This, Sun Wukong was not so clear about.
But considering they had the same character as Sha Wujing, he couldn’t say it was wrong.
Not all Immortals are good, and sometimes there are more evil Immortals than demons.
Sun Wukong was very aware of this fact.
If all the Immortals they found were like Sha Wujing, it truly would be a service to rid the Three Realms of calamity.
“So by that logic, you’re a good person now?”
Lord Taishang couldn’t help but laugh and cry at this.
The Supreme Ancestral Demon cast a resentful glance at him and said, “Aren’t you clear about what sort of person I am?
You ungrateful thing.”
Everyone collectively shivered, casting strange glances back and forth between the two.
What exactly was their relationship?
One thing was certain, their relationship was definitely not as simple as mere enemies.
Lord Taishang remained imperturbable, deciding not to clarify any misunderstandings, especially certain ones.
Time would prove everything.
He looked somewhat coldly and couldn’t help saying, “You have the nerve to say that?
If it weren’t for you killing so many Supremes, we…”
He stopped himself there, closing his mouth and deciding not to continue.
“Let’s go.”
After speaking, Lord Taishang mounted his Green Ox and left.
“Wait for me, I have something to tell you.”
The Supreme Ancestral Demon quickly followed after him.
Witnessing this scene, Sun Wukong and the others exchanged bemused looks.
Apparently, they had some misconceptions about the relationship between the Supreme Ancestral Demon and The Three Pure Ones.
From the demeanor of the two, they didn’t seem like enemies.
Instead, they seemed more like friends who hadn’t seen each other for an extended period, and not just any kind of friends, but the kind with a very good relationship.
Sun Wukong and the others turned their gaze to the Eastern King.
He was likely the one with the deepest understanding of the secrets between Heaven and Earth here.
Even the Ancestral Dragon couldn’t compare with him on this point.
At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon looked utterly baffled.
Could it be that he knew the Supreme Ancestral Demon was fake?
Why didn’t he seem anything like the demon in front of them?
“Why are you all looking at me?”
The Eastern King said irritably.
Was he supposed to know the affairs of beings at the level of The Three Pure Ones and the Supreme Ancestral Demon?
Although, indeed, he knew some things, he couldn’t just say them.
“Ahem ahem, all right, since the matters here have been resolved, let’s all go back,”
the Ancestral Dragon said with a wry smile.
He felt somewhat deflated, as Suiren’s words had truly struck at his heart.
They had utterly shattered the pride he held in being the Ancestral Dragon.
Suiren remained noncommittal, simply speaking the truth.
If others couldn’t handle it, that was not his concern.
The Ancestral Dragon left with Ao Zhan.
Sun Wukong, however, approached the Eastern King and asked, “Tell me about the Primordial era.”
The Eastern King glanced at him and then nodded slightly.
There were indeed some things that could be shared with Sun Wukong.
Then, the Eastern King turned around, gave Suiren a look, and said, “Please join us, Daoist friend.”
“Alright.”
Suiren did not refuse.
As the Human Race appeared in the Primordial era, he was also a being from that era.
However, Suiren didn’t know much about that time.
Back then, the Human Race was too weak.
Even though he had grasped the Way of the Fire Driller and learned the art of cultivation, in that era, he barely managed to survive, let alone protect himself.
Against true powerhouses, there was no use whatsoever.
If not because the Human Race was created by Goddess Nuwa, they would have been annihilated at any moment.
But, in that era, no one dared to disregard the face of Goddess Nuwa.
That was also why the Human Race continued to persist and gradually began to rise.
It wasn’t until the end of the Emperor Jun Era that Suiren became a Supreme Level powerhouse.
From this, one can see just how difficult it was to achieve the Supreme Level.
Becoming a Sovereign of the Three Realms was a good path; one could quickly become a Supreme Level powerhouse with the help of external forces.
Of course, those who could command the Three Realms and become their Sovereign were basically already Supreme Level strong individuals before that,
like the Great Emperor Ziwei, who was the only one.
The Eastern King chose Kunlun as the location for their conversation.
Sun Wukong felt a bit awkward.
When he saw the Queen Mother of the West, their eyes met, and there was an unusual emotion between them.
Right then, the Queen Mother of the West was dressed regally and exuded immense dignity, unlike her former demeanor,
after all, today’s guests weren’t limited to just Sun Wukong.
The Eastern King only began to tell Sun Wukong and the others about that era after the feast and tea were ready.
The Primordial era was the time after Lord Taishang created Heaven and Earth.
In that era, countless races emerged between Heaven and Earth, the spiritual energy was richer than now, treasures and geniuses were everywhere, beings were Innate Beings, close to The Great Dao, and some were born as Celestial Immortals or even Heavenly Venerates.
At the beginning, these races could coexist peacefully.
However, after a million years, due to the excessive prosperity of living beings, battles began to break out.
Among the Ancient Gods and Devils, the strong developed ambition, aiming to become the Sovereign of the Three Realms.
The struggles between the races erupted from there.
The world became a bloody battlefield, with continuous conflicts, and the weaker beings had no chance to survive.
Even the Dragon Clan were blood prey initially; only after the rise of the Ancestral Dragon did they gradually grow stronger and gain the qualifications to vie for dominance in the world.
The audience was astonished; the Dragon Clan was incredibly powerful, and the Ancestral Dragon was renowned throughout the ages.
It was unexpected that even the Dragon Clan were blood prey in that era.
“The bloodline of the Dragon Clan is quite extraordinary now, but back then, it was only considered mid to lower tier.
There were many bloodlines stronger than the dragon and phoenix,” said the Eastern King with a smile, understanding their surprise.
If he hadn’t experienced that era himself and witnessed all the events and changes, he wouldn’t have believed it either.
