Dongye Yu had been imprisoned along the way. He still remembered what Ye Tianze had said to him before he had returned.
Not only had Ye Tianze not killed him, but he had also asked him to pass on a message to the Mysterious Underworld Master. "Sooner or later, the Desolate Race will slaughter their way to his lair and trample Flowing Light City."
Dongye Yu thought about it for a while but still couldn't understand this sentence. After all, Ye Tianze had said that the Desolate Race would slaughter their way to the Mysterious Underworld Race's lair, not that Ye Tianze would slaughter his way to the Mysterious Underworld Race's lair.
Given Ye Tianze's current strength, he might not really be afraid of the Mysterious Underworld Master. He had the combat talent of a god-grade demon. Once he reached the Limitless Dao, he might even have the strength to fight the Mysterious Underworld Master in the Mysterious Underworld Race's territory.
Therefore, he didn't understand why Ye Tianze had said such a thing instead of saying that he would personally lead the Mysterious Underworld Race to trample Flowing Light City.
Dongye Yu felt a huge contrast when he returned to the familiar Flowing Light City. The entire city was filled with a gloomy mood.
They had failed!
This was the biggest and most painful failure since the Mysterious Underworld Race had been established. They had spent 10 years, two million elites, and countless resources. In the end, they had mobilized three Masters of Civilization and lost 10 Limitless Dao experts. However, they still hadn't been able to take down the Chaotic Land.
This kind of failure had only occurred before the Mysterious Underworld Race had been established. This failure had caused the entire universe to start doubting the strength of the Mysterious Underworld Race. As the commander of this great army, he definitely wouldn't survive, even if he had the bloodline of the Mysterious Underworld Master.
He wasn't imprisoned like Masakazu Tōno. Instead, he was sent directly to the Mysterious Underworld Race's Great Hall of Civilization.
At that moment, all the senior statesmen of the Mysterious Underworld Race were gathered in the Great Hall of Civilization. Dongye Yu could sense the murderous intent in the senior statesmen's eyes.
However, he hadn't died. Clearly, he was still useful.
In the Great Hall, he knelt down and recounted the entire process of the 10-year war without missing a single word. After he finished, the Great Hall fell silent.
In fact, he hadn't made too many mistakes. After all, if they had been in his shoes, they would have done the same. However, he had still been defeated!
He had been defeated in a baffling manner!
The senior statesmen didn't reveal any more killing intent. They were all pondering why the Mysterious Underworld Race had been defeated. Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for Dongye Yu to lie.
If he lied, his life would be worse than death. The Mysterious Underworld Race would also have the means to expose his lies.
"What did he ask you to say to me?" the Dark Underworld Master suddenly asked.
Dongye Yu did not dare to raise his head, but he knew that even if he did not want to say it, the Master of the Mysterious Underworld would find out. He could only repeat what he had said.
After hearing this, the people in the main hall were instantly enraged. An elder immediately requested for battle, "My Lord, I request you to mobilize the one million [Flowing Light Army] to capture this child alive and bring him to Flowing Light City!"
The Dark Underworld Master did not reply, so he could only retreat.
"Good, very good!"
The Mysterious Underworld Master said. "So this is the big gift he is giving me. He is using the resources of the Mysterious Underworld Race and the Barren Sky Armor that the Mysterious Underworld Race has honed over 100,000 years to deal with us. Good, very good indeed!"
In the main hall, all the senior statesmen were kneeling on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Only Dongye Yu raised his head. He suddenly understood why he had been defeated. "Could it be that … he is that Star population and that the armor is the Mysterious Underworld Race's … Barren Sky Armor …"
Everything was explained. The only doubt he had now was how the Desolate Race had been able to fight a war of attrition for 10 years and not lose.
"You … and all of you are very puzzled. Why did the Mysterious Underworld Race lose a war of attrition for 10 years?" The Dark Underworld Master glanced at them.
The senior statesmen were silent. Dongye Yu raised his head. This was the first time he had looked at the Dark Underworld Master this way. He was no longer afraid of death. He just wanted to know the answer.
"I will tell you." The Dark Underworld Master looked at him and said coldly, "It is because of the Martial Path Heavenly Hall. The Chaotic Lands were born from the Martial Path Heavenly Hall. That is … a true Creation Artifact!"
"Creation Artifact!"
Everyone in the main hall exclaimed in surprise. They all knew what a Creation Artifact was.
Above Connate Spiritual Treasures were Sacred Connate Spiritual Treasures. The entire Mysterious Underworld Race only had one Sacred Connate Spiritual Treasure. That was the Mysterious Underworld Race's most important weapon and couldn't be used lightly.
However, above Sacred Connate Spiritual Treasures were Creation Artifacts. That was something that only existed in legends. They had never seen it before.
"When the Martial Path Heavenly Hall was born, it became a Creation Artifact. Countless super powerhouses fought over it and escaped into the primal chaos. That was how the Chaotic Lands were created!"
The Dark Underworld Master said. "Later on, the Inspector Heavenly Ambassadors took action but were also seriously injured. Since then, the Chaotic Lands have become a forbidden zone for Heavenly Dao powerhouses and also a forbidden zone for legalists. The greatest ability of the Martial Path Heavenly Hall is to create!"
"Create!"
Dongye Yu suddenly understood. "Could it be that the reason the Desolate Race was able to fight the Mysterious Underworld Race for 10 years was because the Martial Path Heavenly Hall was providing resources behind the scenes?"
"It's impossible for the Martial Path Heavenly Hall to provide resources for the Desolate Race endlessly. Even if they did provide resources, they would have to contribute!"
The Dark Underworld Master said. "If my guess is correct, the Desolate Race used the killing intent of the war to contribute to the Martial Path Heavenly Hall. The Martial Path Heavenly Hall used this to recover its vitality!"
"War!"
Dongye Yu had a sudden realization. "No wonder we lost. Even if we fought for 100 years, the Desolate Race would only get stronger and stronger. They almost didn't consume any resources."
"Previously, I thought that the Desolate Race was already a puppet of the Martial Path Heavenly Hall until you told me that Ye Tianze had comprehended the Life Law!"
The Dark Underworld Master said. "Now I understand that not only did Ye Tianze not become a servant of the Martial Path Heavenly Hall, but he even controls the Martial Path Heavenly Hall."
"Impossible. What ability does he have to control a Creation Artifact?" a senior statesman said.
"The Portrait of All Beings!"
The Dark Underworld Master suddenly said. "I thought about it for a long time. Where did the ancient blood come from? They seemed to have appeared out of thin air. I carefully investigated the time when Ye Tianze appeared. It was during the period when the Portrait of All Beings reappeared. At the edge of a distant realm, a clan called the Nangong Clan was wiped out by the Inspector Heavenly Ambassadors. Death appeared there, and the Portrait of All Beings was drawn by the Nangong Lord to suppress the Death Plague!"
The Hall of Civilization fell silent. Based on this speculation, the origin of the Desolate Race was very clear. They were the people in the portrait.
However, what made the hall fall silent was Ye Tianze's identity!
"Ye Tianze must be related to the Death Plague. They could actually walk out of the Portrait of All Beings. Why didn't the Law of Primal Chaos kill them?"
"That's right. The Law of Primal Chaos will kill everything. They aren't creatures born in the myriad realms. How did they avoid being killed? Are they puppets of death?"
The senior statesmen were terrified. It wasn't just them. Even the cultivators of the myriad realms would have the same expression when the Death Plague was mentioned.
"No, they aren't puppets of death. It's because he has the Life Law on him. Life and death oppose each other, and it's the only power that can restrain death!"
Dongye Yu said.
"The Death Plague of the previous generation didn't have a consciousness, but this generation might have one," Dongye Yu said. "The power of death is constantly increasing."
