Chapter 409

"Great Ancestor, we found a temple left behind by our ancestors in the ancient land!"

Sun Jinming and the others excitedly told them about the situation in the ancient land and even showed them their harvest.

When the Demon Sages heard this, they looked at Gu Chen and the others with surprise.

It would have been fine if Jin Ming and the others had only come out alive, but they had also brought back information that was of great significance to the Nanling Demon Tribe. This meant that they owed the Overlord even more!

Even the White Tiger Demon Sage who had a grudge with Gu Chen was at a loss. The Overlord had come to the Nanling Mountains to form an alliance with them, but they had plotted to steal the King of Weapons' armory.

After that, the Overlord had disregarded the past and saved the future of the Nanling Mountains. How could they accept this?

After asking about the details of the ancient land, the Demon Sages all came to Gu Chen. When their eyes fell on the white ape in his arms, their expressions became even more strange.

After the Overlord and the others entered the ancient land, the Great Priest told them a shocking speculation, which changed their view of the Overlord.

However, after they rescued Jin Ming and did the Demon Clan a great favor, the original unhappiness disappeared like smoke in thin air.

At this moment, the Demon Sages discussed for a while and the Great Priest spoke. "Overlord, we agree to your proposal of an alliance. We will discuss the details later."

Hearing the Great Priest's words, Gu Chen's companions were ecstatic.

It was a success!

Previously, they had thought that the alliance would definitely fail. They did not expect that after leaving the ancient land, the Demon Tribe would agree to the alliance without them saying anything!

Gu Chen looked at the Demon Sages and could feel that they were not lying.

Gu Chen looked down at the white ape in his arms. His intuition told him that the sudden success had a lot to do with the white ape.

"Great Priest, can I have a word with you?"

He did not directly agree to the alliance, but decided to solve the doubts in his heart first.

"Of course, I know what you want to ask. Ever since Jin Ming returned from the Central Plains, I knew that you would come here one day."

The Great Priest said pleasantly.

Therefore, everyone followed the Demon Sages back to the ape tribe first. Meanwhile, Gu Chen and the High Priest went to a remote lake to have a secret discussion.

"What you want to ask is none other than this little fellow's origins."

The high priest looked smilingly at the white ape in Gu Chen's arms and tried to befriend it. However, the white ape was still gnawing on the eggshell and ignored the high priest.

"I saw some things in the Fey God Ancient Land and have some guesses."

Gu Chen paused for a moment and said. "What's the relationship between the white ape and the Yao Immortals?"

The High Priest leaned on his walking stick and looked at the crystal clear lake water with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

"The only thing I can tell you is the legend that has been passed down from generation to generation. It was probably told to me by my grandfather's grandfather, and he heard it from his grandfather's grandfather."

"In this era, very few people know about these matters. Even within the Demon Race, there are only a handful who know about these secrets."

The High Priest sighed. From his mouth, he narrated an ancient myth.

"About thirty thousand years ago, which is the so-called Ancient Era, many meteors appeared in the sky above the Kunlun Continent. From that day onwards, the entire continent became different.

"Those meteors landed in various parts of the continent, kicking up an unprecedented commotion. Among them, the meteor that landed in the Nanling Mountains was a huge mountain. Not long after that huge mountain, another meteor fell from the sky, breaking through the mountain and landing inside.

"Some of this information was personally witnessed by the ancestors of my ape race. Some of it is information I gathered from various parts of the continent. After sorting it out, I came to a rough conclusion.

"Not long after that meteor shower, an unprecedented war broke out in the Kunlun Continent. This resulted in the destruction of many ancient civilizations, including the famous Ziwei Ancient Domain."

Gu Chen thought of Baijing Mansion. It was once so resplendent and glorious that even the Weapon King Jiang Baiming wanted to find the ancient refining method. It turned out that it was during that period of time that the Ziwei Ancient Domain was destroyed.

After that, Baijing Mansion became the nest of the White Whale. It was unknown whether the Ziwei Ancient Domain was destroyed because of the White Whale, a creature that defied common sense, or if there were other reasons.

It wasn't just Baijing Mansion. The ancient city where the Ghastly Ruins had been located thirty thousand years ago was also destroyed at the same time. A large number of humans in the city, including young Ghost Emperors, were turned into members of the Ghost Clan due to a mysterious curse!

"Because it was too long ago, no one knows why the war started or what the outcome was. They only know that after the war ended, the Kunlun Continent was in a state of devastation. The civilization of the past regressed and returned to the Desolate Era.

"Since then, the five major races of the continent gradually took shape. My Demon Race also rose up at that time, and the various races fought each other continuously. It was only twelve thousand years ago when the first Dragon Emperor of the human race established the Middle Plains that the Desolate Era truly came to an end.

"My Demon Race rose up in the Desolate Era. Before that war broke out in the Ancient Era, the so-called Demon Race was just wild beasts that ate raw meat and drank blood. They did not have spiritual intelligence, and it was hard to imagine that we would have such power today.

"All these changes started when the Ancient Era ended and the Desolate Era began. At that time, a white ape walked out of the Ancient Land of the Fiend God."

When the High Priest said this, Gu Chen's eyes narrowed.

"That white ape was very powerful. When it walked out of the Ancient Land, it was the first to meet the ancestors of my Ape Race, a group of monkeys that did not have spiritual intelligence. At that time, it had no memories and was in a daze. It only said that it was looking for something, but it could not remember what it was.

"Because it could not remember its purpose, it stayed with our ancestors and helped them gain spiritual intelligence, teaching them magic abilities and Dharma spells.

"It even brought them into the Ancient Land of the Fiend God and gave them an opportunity, speeding up the evolution of the entire race."

Gu Chen thought of the various rooms in the huge mountain.

"Because of its appearance, my Ape Race went through an earth-shattering change, becoming the first to transform into a Demon Race. Even today, my Ape Race is still the strongest race in the Nanling Mountains. It can be said that its contributions cannot go unnoticed. If not for it, how could the Ape Race become the strongest tribe in the Nanling Mountains given their innate disadvantage in physical bodies? "

The High Priest sighed.

"That white ape was kind and was not satisfied with just helping my Ape Race. It helped many other beasts gain spiritual intelligence. As time passed, the Nanling Mountains regarded it as the Fiend God."
