"The Primordial Times Demon God was a paramount overlord, one of the dominant powers during the Age of Gods on the Ancient Emperor Continent," the Peacock King mentioned.
Ye Chen was moved. The Age of Gods on the Ancient Emperor Continent was an era of extreme brilliance, unlike the present day where Heavenly Kings had to enter the mysterious Divine Realm; they could exist on the Ancient Emperor Continent, and not just a handful of individuals.
Though called the Age of Gods, even Saints were considered deities to some extent in that era, there were also many so-called Divine Spirits at the Heavenly King level, far more than on the Ancient God Continent. It was the most glorious age.
To be a dominant overlord in that era, the strength of the Primordial Times Demon God was evident.
It was highly likely it was an ancient Great Sage.
The Peacock King secretly transmitted his voice, proactively telling Ye Chen some extremely important demon race secrets that could not be spoken to others; even informing a Saint Lord would be a capital offense.
It was rumored that after the most terrifying great war of the Age of Gods, the gods fell, the continent shattered, and the human race's Domain was reduced by more than half.
But not all Divine Spirits perished. Some who did not die entered the mysterious Divine Realm, where there seemed to be a special method of longevity, granting eternal life.
Other Divine Spirits did not ascend into that realm. For example, the Primordial Times Demon God, one of the overlords of the Age of Gods, seemed to have fallen after that battle, but according to certain secrets, it was not completely dead. Instead, it left behind a trace of indestructible True Spirit, which was sealed away.
Moreover, it secretly established a supreme great sect, like this Demon God Hall, to collect vast amounts of Faith Power from the demon domain to use for resurrecting itself. It would inevitably revive in the future.
Such secrets were undoubtedly astonishing, almost the highest secret within the demon race, because that Primordial Times Demon God held a supreme, inviolable status in the hearts of the demon race.
The Peacock King would only speak of this to Ye Chen. Naturally, with his status, few in the demon race could reprimand him, as his position was high enough. Unless a Divine Spirit of the demon race from the Nine Heavens descended, they could punish him.
Ye Chen's eyes flickered uncertainly. He also possessed vast amounts of Faith Power and had studied it, deeply understanding its infinite wondrous uses. But to rely on Faith Power to resurrect oneself seemed somewhat too incredible.
Even Ye Chen found it hard to believe.
But he did not refute it, because Faith Power was too mysterious, originating from the hearts of people, a special power that could help enhance perception and thoughts, empower oneself with infinitely powerful strength, assist cultivation, even become part of one's own power, completely merging to become invincible.
Naturally, it had other wondrous uses, making it difficult to fully understand all the applications of Faith Power.
It was said that during the Mythical Era, those Emperors and Sovereigns had collected Faith Power for research, but the results were hard to know, only the imperial and royal clans might know a thing or two.
Now, was the Primordial Times Demon God, one of the overlords of the Age of Gods, collecting Faith Power to resurrect itself?
It wasn't impossible; anything was possible.
However, Ye Chen then shook his head with a smile. Whether the Primordial Times Demon God still existed in the world and would one day revive, what did it have to do with him? He would leave the Ancient Emperor Continent sooner or later and wasn't from the Ancient Emperor Realm.
Even if the Primordial Times Demon God revived, he might not become its enemy, nor would he necessarily fear it.
But for some reason, he had a faint sense of unease, related to this Primordial Times Demon God.
The three entered one of the treasure pavilions within the Demon God Hall. Xia Miao'er was arranged to go to the Peacock King's meditation seclusion place, where not only was the spiritual energy incredibly dense, but there were also many ancient texts for her to read and cultivate at any time.
The following matters concerned only Ye Chen and the Peacock King, and it wasn't convenient for her to participate.
The treasure pavilion was resplendent and magnificent. Seductive fox maidens, appearing charming and alluring, approached respectfully before the Peacock King, offering the most precious Dao tea, with Dao Rhyme rippling and circulating.
Ye Chen lightly sipped the tea and smiled slightly. "It seems you've lived quite well these years."
The Peacock King chuckled. "Not bad. Since entering the Ancient Emperor Realm, I've received extremely high treatment, holding a lofty position. After all, I am now one of the strongest of the demon race."
Without Ye Chen asking how he arrived in the Ancient Emperor Realm, the Peacock King proactively spoke, mentioning that at the moment his Samsara failed, when a wisp of his Primordial Spirit returned to his true body, the spatial laws he controlled within him went berserk, spreading in all directions, sweeping him into an unknown mysterious wormhole, accidentally landing him on the Ancient Emperor Continent.
Because he was of the demon race, and in the following days, combining various insights from his Samsara, he reached the Samsara level, he soon became one of the strongest of the demon race, having even slain several beast race Saint Lords, making a name for himself.
After waving away the fox maid servant, the Peacock King suddenly shuddered through his entire body. The light of his Primordial Spirit within his brow dimmed significantly and even cracked with a bloodstain, appearing startlingly conspicuous.
Ye Chen's expression changed slightly. "What happened?"
The Peacock King waved his hand, his face appearing somewhat pale. "No need to worry. It's just a recurrence of Dao injuries. It's not life-threatening."
But Ye Chen clearly sensed that the Peacock King's Dao injuries were not as minor as he claimed; they seemed severe. He said seriously, "Peacock King, at this point, are you still going to hide it?"
The Peacock King sighed softly. "Since it's come to this, I might as well tell you. If I cannot transcend Samsara within a hundred years, I will only face perishing, my Dao extinguished."
Ye Chen suddenly stood up, his expression greatly changed, pressing urgently, "What exactly is going on?"
The Peacock King said, "Actually, after my Samsara failed back then, only a wisp of my Primordial Spirit escaped. Although I didn't die, it was close. Because the one who ambushed me was not only powerful but also a fearsome existence cultivating the Dao of Death. In my Samsara body, I was forced to abandon most of my Primordial Spirit to flee, but the remaining wisp was still contaminated by the other's Death Law power, which is irresolvable, almost constantly dispersing my Primordial Spirit."
"This Death Law power isn't much, but my Primordial Spirit is missing a part, and as my Primordial Spirit repaired itself, the Death Law also grew stronger, eroding my Primordial Spirit, making it difficult to resolve."
"Usually, I rely on my own power to suppress the Death Law on my Primordial Spirit, and within the Demon God Hall, I can also use the Demon God's aura of the Demon God Hall to suppress the Death Law."
"However, in this state, I absolutely cannot engage in battle lightly, otherwise the erosion of the Death Law and the dispersion of my Primordial Spirit accelerate. During the battle at the Peak of Fall, because I took action, I was forced to speed up the dispersion of my Primordial Spirit. The Death Law is constantly dispersing my Primordial Spirit. Now, even if I suppress it with all my might, it's not very effective. At most, within a hundred years, I will perish, my Dao extinguished, and that's without leaving the range of the Demon God Hall."
