"Pinnacle battle?" Hearing this, the first thing that came to Xing Jue's mind was war. He thought of the ancient battlefield in the Soul Source World, which was now the Fallen Goose Valley.
"Heh, I know what you're thinking. You must be thinking about that pinnacle battle, the war between the thousands of races of the Sacred Region, which led to the fall of the Spirit Eater Race, right?" The mysterious existence laughed lightly.
Xing Jue nodded his head. That was indeed what he was thinking at the moment.
"No, it's not what you're thinking. That pinnacle battle was not a battle between the living beings of the Sacred Region, but a battle between the living and the undead."
"A battle between the living and the undead? Could it be?! "Xing Jue was shocked. He had already thought of what happened back then.
"That's right. The Asura Realm that separated the Sacred Region and the Underworld was broken, and the undead took the opportunity to attack the Sacred Region."
"An army of hundreds of millions of undead killed their way into the Sacred Region, killing everyone and destroying everything they saw."
"Under the butcher's knife, countless worlds were destroyed, countless races perished, and the flames of war spread to every corner of the Sacred Region."
"It was precisely because that war was unprecedented that it was called the pinnacle battle!"
"What happened next? Did the Sacred Region win? Or did the two sides reconcile? " Xing Jue couldn't help but ask. He knew that there were no undead in the Sacred Region now, which meant that the undead army had retreated to the Underworld.
"They won and reconciled. Although the undead army was terrifying, they only gained the upper hand in the early stages of the war because of sneak attacks and the internal strife of the various races of the Sacred Region."
"And when Hun Wuji united all the races of the Sacred Region to counterattack, the undead army began to retreat and was finally driven out of the Sacred Region!"
"Since the undead were defeated, who destroyed my Spirit Eater Race? Since Ancestor Hun Wuji had such power, there should be no one in the Sacred Region who could harm my Spirit Eater Race, right? "
Xing Jue began to become excited. He could hear how powerful the ancestor called Hun Wuji was.
He could even imagine the scene of Hun Wuji leading the living beings of the Sacred Region to fight the undead army!
How spectacular would that be? Just thinking about it made Xing Jue excited. The battle of the pinnacle was definitely worthy of its name. That was the battle of the strongest in the world.
However, Xing Jue did not understand. With such a powerful ancestor and such a prosperous Soul Eater Race, how could they be defeated?
What kind of existence would defeat him? What kind of existence had forced the Spirit Eater Race, the strongest race of the Holy Region back then, into such a state?
"Back then, there was not a single race in the Sacred Region that could contend against the Spirit Eater clan. Similarly, there was not a single race that dared to join hands and attack the Spirit Eater clan."
"If you ask me who defeated Soul Everlasting? Who defeated the Soul Eater Race? I can tell you the answer. "
"That's because Hun Wuji angered the ruler of the Sanctuary, the 'God' who controls the Laws of Heaven and Earth!" the mysterious being said the word 'God' in a serious tone.
"What? God? Could it be that gods really exist in this world? " Hearing the word 'God', Xing Jue was immediately dumbfounded. His blank face was filled with endless shock.
"Gods are actually just living beings of the Sacred Region. However, they control a divine artifact, so they control the Sacred Region. Thus, all living beings view them as gods!"
"Divine artifact?" Xing Jue was shocked once again.
"That's right. Above the Treasure Artifact is the Spirit Artifact, above the Spirit Artifact is the Exalted Artifact, and above the Exalted Artifact is the supreme divine artifact."
"If you want to ask me how strong a divine artifact is, I cannot answer you. However, what I can tell you is that there are only two divine artifacts that exist in this world."
"One is in the Sacred Region, and the other is in the Nether Region."
"It is said that the Sacred Region controls the Laws of Heaven and Earth and controls the cycle of life and death. All of this relies on the power of the divine artifact!"
The mysterious being spoke of things that Xing Jue had never heard of or even dared to imagine. These were all inconceivable things, but coming from the mouth of this mysterious being, Xing Jue had no choice but to believe it was true.
"The Laws of Heaven and Earth? Could it be that Ancestor Hun Wuji broke the Laws of Heaven and Earth? But what exactly are the Laws of Heaven and Earth? "
"Why did the God who controls the Laws of Heaven and Earth not act when the undead army attacked the Sacred Region? Instead, the living beings of the Sacred Region drove the undead away?"
"Just what did the ancestor of my Spirit Eater Race do to deserve such treatment?" Xing Jue was extremely furious.
He understood what the mysterious being was saying. The Sacred Region and the Nether Region each had a divine artifact, and the existence that wielded the divine artifact was the strongest existence in the Sacred Region and the Nether Region, the true ruler.
However, during the peak battle ten thousand years ago, when the undead army attacked the Sacred Region and plunged all living beings into misery and suffering, the so-called God did not act.
Instead, the living beings of the Sacred Region, under the leadership of the Spirit Eater Race, joined forces to drive the undead army out.
Logically speaking, the Spirit Eater Race was a great contributor to the Sacred Region, and Hun Wuji was even more of a great contributor. However, such a great contributor had fallen to the hands of God. Xing Jue could not understand this, and there was only anger in his heart.
"God controls the Sacred Region, and the Devil controls the Nether Region. Back then, the peak war god acted, and so did the Devil."
"It was God who restrained the Devil, and it was also the Devil who restrained the God. It's just that no one saw their battle."
"In the peak battle ten thousand years ago, the God and the Devil didn't have a clear victor, but the living beings and the undead did. So it can be said that the undead lost, but not the Nether Region."
"You asked why God wanted to deal with the Spirit Eater Race, and why God wanted to deal with Hun Wuji. In truth, it was Hun Wuji who angered God, but I feel that Hun Wuji was right."
The mysterious being continued to narrate, and when it came to this point, it was especially emotional. Although it was expressionless, Xing Jue could feel the fluctuations of its emotions.
"Angered God? Then what did Ancestor Hun Wuji do? "Xing Jue grew more and more curious about what had happened back then. He wanted to know just what had angered God.
"Back then, when the undead army retreated, the Devil in charge of the Nether Region and the God in charge of the Sacred Region made an agreement. From then on, the Sacred Region and the Nether Region would not be on opposite sides.
"Furthermore, the God and the Devil used divine artifacts to repair the Asura World, separating the Sacred Region and the Devil Region once more.
"However, in the peak battle, Hun Wuji felt that he shouldn't have compromised with the Nether Region. Instead, he felt that he should press on with his victory.
"Because he felt that since the Nether Region wanted to occupy the Sacred Region and rule over all living beings, they would do the same in the future.
"And the best way to avoid future troubles was to completely eradicate the undead. Then, the living beings would rule the Sacred Region and the Nether Region, becoming the only rulers of the world," the mysterious being explained.
"I feel that the ancestor's thoughts were correct. Those savage undead should be completely eradicated, or else there would be endless troubles in the future." Xing Jue strongly agreed with his ancestor, Hun Wuji's thoughts from back then.
"That's right. In the eyes of many, Hun Wuji's thoughts were correct. After all, back then, many of the clansmen of every race were slaughtered by the undead. All living beings hated the undead to the bone.
"However, God's thoughts were different. He said that the living and the undead must coexist. If the undead completely disappeared, the living beings would also quickly perish.
"So God rejected Hun Wuji's suggestion and gave a death order to the various patriarchs to never destroy the Asura World or attack the Nether Region. Otherwise, he would personally eliminate them.
"From then on, Hun Wuji was very disappointed in God because God never cared about the struggles between the various races of the Holy Realm. The rules of the world that God created were like nothing. If it wasn't for the Undead attacking the Holy Realm, even Hun Wuji wouldn't know if God really existed.
"So Hun Wuji wanted to rebel. He wanted to rebel against God so that he could control the Sacred Region. He wanted to control the laws of the world and bring true peace and tranquility to the Sacred Region.
"Rebel against God? Ancestor, you're really bold! "
Hearing this, Xing Jue was incredibly excited. Rebelling against a god who controlled the world and taking control of the laws and order of the world was definitely not something that an ordinary person would dare to think about.
However, his ancestor had actually done that. Although he had lost in the end, he had truly done such a world-shaking thing. That kind of boldness caused Xing Jue to revere and worship him.
"Is that God really that powerful? Didn't you say that God is also a living being and is only so powerful because he controls a divine artifact? "
Xing Jue asked. Everything that had happened now told Xing Jue that it was his ancestor Hun Wuji who had lost. So he really wanted to know just how powerful the god who controlled the world was.
"In terms of cultivation, Hun Wuji was unparalleled in the world back then. Even God could only stand on equal footing with him. Hun Wuji lost because he didn't have a divine artifact."
"In that case, my ancestor's strength had already reached the peak, right?"
Even though ten thousand years had passed, even though the outcome had already been decided, Xing Jue still felt extremely unwilling when he thought about how his ancestor had only lost because he didn't have a divine artifact.
"In reality, Hun Wuji already knew that he was no match for God, so he always wanted to forge a divine artifact. However, before he could forge a divine artifact, God learned of Hun Wuji's betrayal. The one who betrayed Hun Wuji was the Dao Clan that still exists."
"The Dao Clan?!"
After learning the truth of what had happened back then, Xing Jue could not help but clench his fists. Dense killing intent rose in his eyes.
"Although the patriarch of the Dao Clan was personally killed by Hun Wuji, the actions of the Dao Clan can definitely be punished."
"Although God defeated Hun Wuji back then, he did not kill Hun Wuji, nor did he exterminate the Soul-eater Clan and the other clans that had sworn to follow the Soul-eater Clan. Instead, he erased the memories of the remaining clansmen and exiled them to the Mortal World."
"Furthermore, he set a rule that no race or person is allowed to attack the Soul-eater Clan in the Mortal World. Otherwise, all the clans of the Holy Region have the right to kill them."
"You should already know about the actions of the Dao Clan. Not only did they secretly send people to the Soul Source World, a forbidden land, to secretly eliminate the Soul-eater Clan that had entered the Holy Region."
"Furthermore, when the Soul-eater Clan was exiled to the Mortal World, they used a special method that led to Hun Zhan being bewitched, causing the Soul-eater Clan in the Mortal World to be massacred by their own clansmen."
"The Dao Clan must be eliminated!" In Xing Jue's heart, the Dao Clan was already on the list of those that must be eliminated. However, he quickly asked, "Senior, you said that God did not kill my ancestor. Could it be that my ancestor is still alive?"
Not only had Hun Wuji allowed the Soul-eater Clan to become the ruler of the clans of the Holy Region, he had even possessed a cultivation that was not inferior to that of a god. An ancestor like that was worthy of Xing Jue's admiration and worship. If he was truly still alive, it would be a joyous occasion for Xing Jue.
"Hun Wuji is indeed still alive. He has just been sealed."
"Really? Then where is my ancestor sealed? "
"Right beneath your feet!"
