Who was telling the truth?
Ye Zichen vaguely recalled someone once telling him that Zhou Wu wasn't fated to transcend.
Ever since then, he had always believed in this. Even though he could not remember who had told him this, the conviction in his heart also reflected the person who had told him this, and he had absolute trust in him.
Countless emperors entered the Transcendence Mausoleum.
Zhou Wu was the only one who couldn't take even half a step inside. Pilar, on the other hand, said that entering the Time Corridor meant he had transcended.
Of course, when Pilar said he'd entered the Time Corridor, it meant he had either transcended or had celestial fate.
Ye Zichen heard him clearly. The reason he'd concluded Zhou Wu was fated to transcend was because, before entering the Time Corridor, he didn't have celestial fate.
When Ye Zichen first entered the Time Corridor, he'd seen the image of the bonfire. He still remembered it clearly.
Zhou Wu had traded his heart for the Five Elements Great Emperor's celestial fate.
"Are you sure?"
Since Ye Zichen had complete faith in the man who'd told him Zhou Wu hadn't transcended fate, Pilar, who had a completely different theory, wasn't worth trusting.
Between the two of them, Ye Zichen naturally had to suspect Pilar.
Suspicion appeared in Ye Zichen's eyes and didn't fade. Pilar, who'd maintained his arrogant expression, lifted his chin, and noticed Ye Zichen's suspicion. It was like gunpowder had been ignited, and it exploded with a bang.
"What's with that look?"
"Don't tell me you doubt my words?"
"What right do you have to look at me like that? Do you think I'm lying to you?"
Pilar directly asked three questions in a row, not giving Ye Zichen a chance to interject. After the first three questions, he went back to his own business.
"Your suspicion is the greatest insult to me!"
"You can insult me, but you can't insult the great Time Corridor! This Time Corridor was built by our Demon King. Those who are not of the Demon Race must have transcended fate or Emperor Celestial Providence. This is the law left behind by the great Demon King! "
"You dare doubt the great demon king? I'll fight you to the death!"
Bang!
Pilar swung his arms and lunged at Ye Zichen, but before he could take more than a few steps, he was kicked several meters away.
When he landed on the ground, he didn't hesitate at all. He immediately flipped over and jumped up, then swung his fist towards Ye Zichen.
This time, Ye Zichen didn't kick and punch him. Instead, he reached out and placed a hand on Pilar's head.
Ye Zichen, who'd used his divine power, made it impossible for Pilar to take even half a step forward. Pilar's height and arm length were so different that all he could do was swing his fists in place. He couldn't even touch the hem of Ye Zichen's clothes.
"Calm down. I have no intention of doubting your great Devil King!"
"Hmph, but you doubted me just now. That's the same as doubting the great Devil King!" Pulur said.
"Why do you say that? Since that's the great Devil King, what right do you have to replace him? Don't you think that's the real disrespect to the Devil King? "
"What do you mean replace him? I'm this generation's Devil King, the great Lord Pilar!" "So that's how it is." When he heard Pilar's words, Ye Zichen didn't seem surprised in the slightest. Instead, it was as if he'd learned exactly what Pilar wanted to hear. He removed his hand from Pilar's head and took a few steps back. "I sincerely apologize for my earlier slip of the tongue.
Yes, the great Devil King … Mr. Pilar! "
After the destruction of the First Era, Ye Zichen had taken in quite a few of its experts.
Not only had they brought with them the Tenth Divine Mountain, but they'd also brought all sorts of resources, including quite a few ancient tomes.
One of them, written in human language, had once mentioned …
"Pilar," which meant Great Devil.
Just now, Ye Zichen suddenly recalled this, which led to the rest of their conversation.
The ugly shorty before him was the current king of the demon race, as well as the greatest Devil King of the Demon Race.
In the demon race, a Devil King wasn't just a high level of cultivation.
It was a form of address, but also a symbol of status.
Every generation of the Fiend Clan would have a Fiend King. When this Fiend King died, the Fiend Clan would give birth to a new Fiend King. This Fiend King would be protected by the entire Fiend Clan, given time and resources to grow until he could stand on his own.
This was all because of the first Devil King's words …
Only a Devil King could lead the demon race into a prosperous future.
From then on, the demon race regarded this as a motto.
At the end of the day, the demon race was a superior race, just like the Gods of the Outside. Even in the ancient tomes of the First Era, when they'd transcended, there were only a few brief mentions of the demon race. It was very shallow.
Ye Zichen had no direct understanding of the demon race's cultivation.
However, he clearly remembered that, as soon as a demon was born, they were all Divine Generals.
They could become emperors at a young age, then choose to become either a demon or a warlock. There were many paths for the demon race to choose from.
This was similar to the Gods of the Outside. They were born as trainee gods, then became lesser gods at a young age. After that, they could choose to become angels, knights, or strengthen their godheads to become overgods.
It was clear that a superior race was superior.
From the moment their clansmen were born, it was clear how different humans were from them. For gods, yao, and demons, their only path was to become cultivators and transcend step by step.
The demons and Gods of the Outside, on the other hand, could choose any path they wanted. Once they found the most suitable path, they could consider their future development.
Pilar was this generation's Devil King.
Countless demons had placed their hopes on him, and they'd done everything in their power to pave the way for him. Based on his powerful body, it was clear that the demons had spent far too much money on him.
But as the Devil King, he'd been abandoned in the Passage of Time, all alone and destitute.
There wasn't a single guard in sight, and he couldn't sense any of his demonic energy.
Ye Zichen refused to believe he hadn't experienced some sort of disaster!
"You're trying to trick me!" Pilar's gaze darkened. "You knew all along that I was the Devil King. You know about the demons, and you're a God of the Outside!"
When he mentioned the Gods, Pilar's eyes flashed with scarlet.
Although he didn't have any demonic energy, he still radiated the aura of a Devil King.
