Lin Yun was holding a fist-sized spherical Magic Tool in his left hand. This was the Elemental Torrent he had dismantled from the Heaven Rank Puppet in the Raging Flame Plane.
The glaring lightning continued to rush into the elemental flood, and as the lightning dissipated, it was as if the Great Shaman's body was constantly spurting out lightning, unable to stop.
After no less than three minutes, lightning started flickering on the surface of the Elemental Torrent. The Elemental Torrent could only devour one spell at a time. Whether it was a 1st Tier Spell or an 8th Tier Spell, there was no difference.
Strictly speaking, this continuous lightning was only the power of lightning and couldn't be considered a spell. As long as it wasn't interrupted, it would be a spell for the Elemental Torrent. It could be stored until it exceeded its limits.
The lightning on the surface of the Grand Shaman's body slowly dissipated. The remaining power wasn't enough to make the Grand Shaman lose control.
After putting away the Elemental Torrent, Lin Yun took out a Health Potion.
"Sir Grand Shaman, this is the Health Potion I refined."
The Grand Shaman gratefully bowed towards Lin Yun and took the Health Potion.
After dissipating the lightning and taking the Health Potion, the Grand Shaman, who had been lying on the bed and letting the lightning slowly dissipate, had already recovered. At least, he could move without any problems.
"Sir Grand Shaman, I came to ask you a question. I hope you can tell me the truth."
The Grand Shaman shook his head.
"Thank you for your generosity, you helped me reduce my pain, but I really don't know what you want to ask."
A faint smile rose on Lin Yun's lips. He wasn't angry at all.
"Sir Grand Shaman, I still haven't asked the question, yet you already know what I want to ask?"
The Grand Shaman opened his mouth, but he shook his head and bitterly smiled.
"Sir Grand Shaman, I want to ask about the Undead army outside. What is going on with them? I want to know the truth."
The Grand Shaman immediately shook his head.
"I don't know. I've never seen an undead before. I'm not even sure if there are any undead. Unfortunately, I can't help you."
Lin Yun's expression was calm. He was not surprised at all by the Grand Shaman's words.
"If the Grand Shaman doesn't believe in the existence of the Undead, it's very simple. As long as I go out for half an hour, I can easily capture a few hundred Undead Beastmen."
With that, Lin Yun turned around and walked out.
In a split second, the Grand Shaman's expression changed. Capturing the undead was indeed the simplest way to prove his identity, but a few hundred undead would definitely let everyone in the tribe know.
"Wait, young man, you win. Since you want to know, I will tell you the truth. However, the truth is not what you want."
Lin Yun turned around and nodded. He calmly listened to the Grand Shaman's sigh as he talked about the past.
"In the most ancient era, the Greater Raging Flame Overlord ruled the entire world. All Beastmen were slaves of the Greater Raging Flame Overlord, and all Beastmen's lives were in the hands of the Greater Raging Flame Overlord.
"The cruel Greater Raging Flame Overlord could slaughter Beastmen's slaves at will. The blood of Beastmen flowed in every corner of the Greater Raging Flame Overlord's territory.
"Until one day, my ancestor, the greatest Shaman Saar, appeared and started leading us to resist the Greater Raging Flame Overlord's cruel rule. Countless heroic Beastmen were sacrificed, and even Saar sacrificed his own life.
"We succeeded in overthrowing the Greater Raging Flame Overlord's rule and suppressed him. But although the suppression seal was very powerful and consumed Saar's life, it could only barely suppress the Greater Raging Flame Overlord.
"The enraged Greater Raging Flame Overlord kept attacking the seal, and from time to time, some of the Greater Raging Flame Overlord's power would rush out of the seal, causing great harm to us. This was a disaster for us.
"Every few decades, a Beastman Hero would have to sacrifice his life to reinforce the seal.
"But too much of the Greater Raging Flame Overlord's power leaked out. He summoned a large number of Demons, and we kept fighting them. Countless brave warriors would be sacrificed every year.
"As time passed, a large number of Beastman warriors were ruthlessly taken away, and our Beastmen's power kept weakening. But the number of Demons kept increasing, and more and more of the Greater Raging Flame Overlord's power leaked out. One day, he would definitely break free.
"At that time, the tribe's sage, Leksa, finally found a way to imprison the Greater Raging Flame Overlord. He no longer needed to endlessly sacrifice Beastmen to barely reinforce the seal.
Leksa summoned a large number of powerhouses, and Leksa was the first to commit suicide at the location of the seal. He used his life and soul to enter the seal.
Along with the sacrifice of a large number of Beastman Ancestors, their souls formed a huge cage that imprisoned the Greater Raging Flame Overlord for eternity.
"But this method wasn't without flaws. Their souls couldn't rest in peace, and their bodies transformed into the Undead, forever wandering this wasteland.
"I saw these things through the records of our ancestors and the traces of time. I also saw how Leksa was willing to abandon his faith for the continuation of his clansmen, turning himself into an Undead lifeform and making his soul unable to rest in peace.
"I also knew that their souls would forever struggle, and I even knew that they still retained some of their memories after turning into Undead lifeforms.
"They were still guarding our tribe. All outsiders would suffer the attacks of the Undead army, but they never appeared in the eyes of the Beastmen.
"They weren't willing to let their clansmen see their appearance, they weren't willing to let their clansmen know that they had abandoned their ancestors' faith. They weren't willing to let us know that their souls didn't return to the embrace of the earth, nor did they become Ancestor Souls.
"But I saw it. I've never seen an Undead, but I clearly know that they were still accomplishing their mission.
"Unless the Greater Raging Flame Overlord was truly suppressed, the ancestors' souls wouldn't be able to rest in peace, and those Undead would forever exist.
"That canyon where Demons often appear is the place where the Greater Raging Flame Overlord is sealed.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to tell you the truth, it's that if you don't want to face our ancestors' Undead army, you will have to face an even more frightening existence like the Greater Raging Flame Overlord.
"I advise you not to provoke the Greater Raging Flame Overlord. You don't understand how frightening that existence is. Even if there is a seal, as long as a bit of its power is leaked, that terrifying fury is enough to burn everyone to ashes."
The Grand Shaman's tone was somewhat gloomy, completely devoid of fighting spirit. A wisp of power leaked by the Greater Raging Flame Overlord wasn't something they could resist.
Lin Yun silently nodded, a flash of understanding in his eyes. He had already guessed this.
In the legends of the Raging Flame Plane, the Black Burn Scar had been destroyed because a Greater Demon Overlord had been released. Even after ten millennia, the remnants of the fierce flames weren't something a mage under the Heaven Rank could casually enter.
After guessing that this damaged world existed in the past Raging Flame Plane, Lin Yun guessed that a Greater Demon Overlord might have been suppressed there, and it turned out that it was indeed the case.
And Lin Yun finally understood why a Greater Demon Overlord was suppressed there. This kind of existence was a peak ruler in the Abyss. Countless Demons prostrated themselves at the feet of the Greater Demon Overlord, yet it was suppressed in the Raging Flame Plane. This was too strange.
He now understood why the Raging Flame Plane was called the Raging Flame Plane. It was because the original ruler of the Raging Flame Plane was that Greater Raging Flame Overlord!
His rule was overthrown and he was suppressed by the Beastmen who were originally slaves, but the name Raging Flame Plane was continuously passed down.
After obtaining the information he wanted, Lin Yun returned to discuss it with the others.
After hearing Lin Yun's information, everyone was somewhat shocked. No one had expected that a Greater Demon Overlord would actually be suppressed under that canyon.
And now, what they had to do was find a way to truly suppress that Greater Demon Overlord and free the souls of the Beastmen that formed the soul cage.
Only after these Beastmen's souls were truly freed would the Undead army roaming the wasteland dissipate. That way, without the greatest threat, they would have the opportunity to attack the Kintop tribe and capture the Gold Beastmen.
Regarding this matter, the others didn't know much about arrays, and they weren't alchemists, so it wasn't good for them to express their opinions. Raphael frowned and pondered for a long time before speaking with some uncertainty.
"The array in that canyon was from a very long time ago. The array back then wasn't as perfect as it is now. I believe that we can definitely find a better way to truly suppress that Greater Demon Overlord now.
"Although the Greater Demon Overlord is frighteningly powerful and can exterminate all of us with a single blow and destroy this world, it has already been suppressed. Unless it breaks out of its seal and escapes, it wouldn't pose too much of a threat to us.
"If it only leaks its aura, it wouldn't be too powerful. I believe that with our strength, we should be able to handle it.
"At least it would be a lot easier than the Undead army, it wouldn't be as invincible as the Undead army."
As the leader of the City in the Sky, Raphael was a peak Master Alchemist. Moreover, the City in the Sky was most proficient in arrays. His words were the most persuasive. At least to the people of the Odin Kingdom, his words were far more persuasive than Lin Yun, the Artisan of Andalusia.
Previously, everyone had seen Lin Yun's basic alchemy runes and the first-rate potions Lin Yun had taken out, so they naturally thought that Lin Yun was an alchemist proficient in potioneering.
No one asked Lin Yun's opinion. After Raphael expressed his opinion, Didala decisively made the decision.
Although the Greater Demon Overlord was frightening, the suppressed Greater Demon Overlord was far from being as frightening as the Undead army.
