Chapter 410

When the High Priest heard this, a strange expression appeared on his face. "Oh, that was just a lie to deceive the younger generations of my Fiend race. According to my grandfather's grandfather, when the Fiend God's statue was built, it was designed according to its image. However, the Fiend God found the statue to be poorly made, unable to accurately portray its majestic image. So, it chopped off its own head.

"This was the fault of my Fiend race. The standard of our carvings was too low, unable to satisfy the Fiend God's requirements. Hence, the statue remained headless. Over time, the headless statue became the true image of the Fiend God, and it was passed down. "

When Gu Chen heard this, he laughed hoarsely. "Too similar."

This Fiend God's temperament sounded too similar to the White Ape's.

"What happened after that?" Gu Chen continued asking.

"When my Nanling Fiend race gradually matured, one day, the Fiend God suddenly disappeared. When the Fiend God disappeared, the various Fiend races of the Nanling Fiend race mourned. Only my ape ancestor had a premonition long ago.

"Back then, my ancestor guessed that the Fiend God had a special origin. It was very likely that it came from beyond the heavens. Furthermore, it came to the Nanling Mountains, to the Kunlun Continent, to search for something."

"What was that thing? Did the Fiend God find it? "Gu Chen asked out of curiosity.

"According to the investigations of my ape ancestor many years later, the thing that the Fiend God was searching for should have been lost during the Ancient Era. The Ancient Era war that involved a lot of things was vaguely recorded in the history books of the various regions of the continent. It seemed like the war back then happened to search for something.

"The thing that the Fiend God was searching for should be the same thing. However, it might have overslept. By the time it woke up, the war was already over. It was already the Desolate Era, so it was destined not to find it."

When Gu Chen heard this, he was speechless. This Fiend God was as unreliable as the little fellow!

"Back then, the Fiend God stayed with my ape race temporarily. Hence, my ancestor was not surprised that it left in the end.

"My ancestor originally thought that the Fiend God might have returned to its homeland. However, from then on, every once in a while, he would hear news of the birth of the White Ape in various places.

"My ancestor yearned for the Fey God and went to follow him, but he discovered that the Fey God had returned to his youth and knew nothing about my ancestor. I don't know if it lost its memory like when it first left the ancient land, or if that wasn't it at all, but its descendant. "

"Later on, my ancestor died due to the exhaustion of his lifespan. The ape tribe grew stronger day by day. Every few eras, we would always hear the news of the birth of a white ape."

"And every time the white ape was born, no matter how many years had passed, it would always have that young appearance. It knew nothing, as if it was the cycle of fate. It was as pure as a piece of white paper. In order to protect it, the ancestors of the ape race had a discussion and sealed off all information about it. They even used the headless statue to deliberately obscure the image of the demon god so that people wouldn't know that this strange white ape was related to the demon god. "

"As time went by, the only person in the entire Southern Mountains who knew about the relationship between White Ape and the Demon God was me. At most, there's also Jin Ming. He's heard some legends about the white ape and the demon god from me. "

Gu Chen suddenly understood. No wonder Sun Jinming had such a special attitude when he saw White Ape at True Martial Academy. Later on, when he broke through, to prevent White Ape from getting hurt, Sun Jinming even led a group of demons to protect him.

"High Priest, are you saying that White Ape is a Fey God?"

Gu Chen couldn't help asking.

White Ape had too many similarities with the Fey God, and it was so familiar with the Fey God's ancient land.

But if it was a Yao Immortal, how could it be explained that it had remained so young for so many years and had no memories?

"To be honest, I don't have a clue either. It's not just me, even my ancestor didn't understand."

The High Priest looked at White Ape warmly.

"Maybe it is a Fey God, but due to some special reasons, it has always been in the cycle of reincarnation. Or maybe it is just a descendant of the Fey God's descendant, and its memory is passed on in its head."

"But no matter what its true identity is, you must remember one thing."

The High Priest's expression turned solemn. "White Ape never gets close to anyone easily, and only gets close to us apes. However, it chose to follow you. This is something that has never happened before in countless eras. "

Gu Chen was shocked.

"So no matter what, since it is following you, you must treat it well. It has been wandering for so long, and still refused to return to us apes. I really hope that it has a happy home. "

The Grand Priestess said in a serious tone.

"I understand."

Gu Chen nodded and stroked the little guy's fur. So there was such a story behind it.

Regardless of whether it was a Fey God or a descendant of a Fey God, since it was following him, he would treat it like family. This was something that would never change.

White Ape listened to the conversation between Gu Chen and the High Priest with a confused expression. It seemed like he was also a little lost.

"Do the other Beast Sages already know about White Ape's relationship with the Fey God?"

Gu Chen asked as he chatted with the High Priest.

Seeing how the Beast Sages had suddenly softened their attitude, it was highly possible.

"Yes, I have already told them a little, but they don't know much. In this current situation, the Southern Mountains Demon Race needs unprecedented unity. If you want to form an alliance with us, it will be much easier with the Fey God. "

The High Priest said.

"Thank you, High Priest." Gu Chen said gratefully. It seemed like the High Priest had contributed a lot for things to go so smoothly.

"You don't have to be so courteous with me, I am just thinking for Southern Mountains."

The High Priest's eyes were filled with worry. "If Huangfu Wuji were to conquer the Southern Mountains, countless demons would become the human race's Dharma treasures and elixirs. That's something the kind-hearted demon gods would definitely not want to see."

"Since White Ape is following you, it means that you are different from Huangfu Wuji. If you become the Emperor of Middle Earth, there will be peace in the world. Perhaps one day, all the races will really live in peace."

The High Priest sighed.

"Emperor of Middle Earth? High Priest, you are mistaken. I have no such thoughts. "

Gu Chen laughed involuntarily. He had no interest in the so-called imperial power.

"If you really overthrow Huangfu Wuji's rule, you will need someone to control the situation. Sometimes, even you don't have a choice. "

The High Priest said meaningfully.

Gu Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If he really overthrew Huangfu Wuji's rule one day, he really didn't think about what would happen after that.

He was originally a person who focused on cultivation, but he was forced by the current situation and unknowingly walked so far away.

"Alright, let's return to the tribe. It is time to discuss your concrete plan with everyone."

The High Priest smiled. Gu Chen nodded.

The Southern Mountains Demon Tribe had been settled. This was the strongest force among the four major tribes of the continent. With their support, his confidence had skyrocketed.
