Redemption of a Born Demon

As everyone watched, Yi Beidou glanced down at his naked body. With a single thought, a magnetic light pulsed, Transforming Illusion into Reality to manifest a pair of tactical shorts.

"You..."

Durand had only just recovered from his state of terrified shock. He looked at Yi Beidou as if he wanted to ask something, but ultimately held his tongue, instead turning to the numerous Divine Sealers around them.

"What happened here today must be kept absolutely secret. Everyone from the Celestial Divine Realm, please swear an oath to the Ancestor Realm, and then leave the basement."

Durand said in a deep voice.

The other four leaders also snapped to their senses and worked with Durand, having the Divine Sealers under their respective commands immediately swear an oath to the Ancestor Realm to maintain secrecy.

The Ancestor Realm oath was triggered through the Fruit Position fused with each Divine Sealer, making it arguably the most severe secret curse. Violating it would inevitably result in a backlash from their Fruit Position.

After all the Divine Sealers present had sworn their oaths and left the basement one by one, the vast space fell silent, empty, and cold. Durand and the four other Divine Sealing Leaders exchanged a look before finally turning their gazes to Yi Beidou.

"Mr. Yi, what exactly did you experience in the Ancestor Realm? What did you discover? Why did you trigger the Chaos Seal at the very core of the Mystical Palace?"

Nina asked Yi Beidou, her expression complex.

As the leader of the Mystical Palace, she knew full well that the Chaos Seal’s backlash would only be triggered if an intruder touched the very core of the Mystical Palace. In other words, triggering the Chaos Seal meant the intruder had most likely encountered some of the Ancestor Realm’s deepest secrets.

Throughout history, no one who suffered the Chaos Seal’s backlash had ever survived. Yet Yi Beidou was standing right before them, alive and well. He must have obtained some vital information.

The other leaders also looked at Yi Beidou with anticipation. Even Ditru, who had always been the most stubborn, remained silent, forgoing the ancestral teachings he was supposed to uphold at a time like this.

Although the fundamental secrets of the Ancestor Realm were taboo—something that even they, as Divine Sealers, were forbidden from touching—after millennia of tradition, was there any Divine Sealer who wasn’t intensely curious?

It concerned their power, their convictions, their path, and their very reason for being.

"Where do we come from, and where do we go?" This has always been humanity’s ultimate question.

It was just that they were too embroiled in the situation to explore it themselves.

But now, Yi Beidou had appeared out of nowhere and managed to survive his exploration of the Ancestor Realm’s secrets, giving them a glimmer of hope.

’What are we, the Divine Sealers, really?’

’What exactly happened in the past?’

Hearing her question, Yi Beidou didn’t answer immediately. He fell silent for a moment as scenes of what he had seen and heard in the Mystical Palace, along with his own speculations, flashed through his mind.

’The source of the Mystical Palace’s power came from four supreme Gods in the grand hall. The true bodies of these four Gods most likely still retained a vigorous Life Force. They were probably the complete Earth Immortals spoken of in legends; at least, in his perception, the two felt extremely similar.

’No one in this world had ever witnessed a true Earth Immortal, but I am different. I had seen one before through Synesthesia, so I was confident my judgment was not mistaken.

’Furthermore, since I could perceive and trace this aura, it proved these beings were likely hidden away in some secret corner of Earth.

’The Divine Sealers have always considered themselves descendants of ancient heroes, yet they are actually wielding Earth Immortal Power. This is undeniably subversive information, the kind that could throw the entire God-Sealing Alliance into internal chaos.

’However, it isn’t a certainty. After all, I can only sense that they possess a living aura; I can’t prove if they truly have self-awareness.

’In other words, it seems possible to create a similar arrangement using the complete Immortal Corpse of an Earth Immortal whose consciousness has been extinguished.

’After all, Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood itself possesses an extremely strong self-defense instinct, even after its original consciousness is gone.

’Moreover, in the great war of antiquity, the Earth Immortals were wiped from the face of the earth. No matter how brutal the fighting, it’s unlikely that only fragmented Earth Immortal Remains were left behind. The more complete Earth Immortal corpses were most likely collected and preserved by the victors.

’If the ancestors of the Divine Sealers truly were ancient heroes, then the Earth Immortal corpses they collected must have been the most complete. It wouldn’t even be strange if some were flawless bodies. Using these "spoils of war"—the Earth Immortal corpses—as a powerful energy source to establish safeguards for their descendants seems perfectly logical.

’In short, much of this is still just my own speculation. What truly transpired in antiquity is still impossible to confirm.’

Unless Yi Beidou could truly penetrate the fog and use his Celestial Demon Sensing to trace the living entities behind those Gods to their locations on Earth, the full truth would remain hidden.

Seeing Yi Beidou lower his head in silence, no one dared to disturb his thoughts. They all waited quietly for his answer.

Whether they were Divine Sealers or Donghua Martial Artists, everyone wanted to know what Yi Beidou had truly experienced inside the Ancestor Realm.

"I saw four great Gods within the Mystical Palace, but I discovered they were merely ’Illusions.’ I tried to see through to their true forms, and it was then that one of the Gods suddenly attacked me. I couldn’t see its full form; I was only able to pierce a sliver of the mist and clearly see the finger it pointed at me."

"That finger was made of flesh and blood, and from it, I sensed an incredibly potent Life Force. The ’true body’ behind that God is very likely still ’alive’."
