Chapter 701: Old Acquaintances


    Divine Wilderness, in the remote mountains.


    If one was to say that the Divine Wilderness was a ce where very few humans resided, then the remote mountains deep in the Divine Wilderness was where even the Deste race did note often.


    There were millions of mountains here, in a long winding range. There werekes in between the mountains that resembled seas.


    Other than that, the remote mountains also had vast swamps, deep valleys as well as miasma-filednds where many powerful beastsy dormant.


    The remote mountains, that was filled with all sorts of mythical creatures, was considered the most terrifying area of the Divine Wilderness. Without the Deste race that couldmunicate with deste beasts, even a human Empyreal King would have to be careful in a ce like this. Once they chance upon arge scale beast horde, there was even the risk of death.


    The remote mountains was a distant ce for penal servitude in the Divine Wilderness. Members of the Deste race, who hadmitted crimes, would be banished here.


    Other than that, there were also other races detained here.


    And of course that included humans.


    Humans and the Deste race were sworn enemies. After human warriors were captured by the Deste race, they would naturally not be released back to the Human race. Most of them would be imprisoned in the remote mountains, never to leave again.


    And it was such a remote and secret ce that had be the temporary shelter of the Deste race.


    Due to therge number of Deste race members settling in here, the prison cells that were there originally were removed. Many of those who had been held prisoner were also given temporary freedom.


    Of course, they would not escape either. The remote mountains had arrays sealing them in. Furthermore, with deste beasts lurking around, the chances of sessfully escaping were very low.


    At this moment, these prisoners, who had been "chased" out of their cells, were all gathered in front of a pasture.


    This was a deste beast farm established by the Deste race. The pasture covered hundreds of thousands of miles and they reared all sorts of deste beasts. These deste beasts had been domesticated by the Deste race, and they were used by many of the Deste race elites as mounts.


    In ancient times, when the Deste race and Human race battled, the Deste race army would ride such beasts to lead their crusade against the Tian Yuan world. Most of thebat strength from the Deste race army mostly came from their deste beast mounts. Furthermore, with some deste beasts apanying them in their charge, their battles had an indomitable momentum.


    Many of the prisoners in the remote mountains needed to engage inbor. And one of those included caring for the deste beasts.


    At this moment, in the deste beast farm, an azure-clothed schrly man was nonchntly sitting on a lone rock. He was looking at a dozen deste beasts not far from him.


    These deste beasts were all primordial species. They were irascible and when prisoners fed them, there was a chance of the prisoners being injured.


    However, in front of the azure-clothed schr, these primordial species appeared rather tame. They did not growl and they only lowered their heads to eat meat obediently.


    As they wolved downrge pieces of meat, the primordial species’ mouths were covered in blood.


    The azure-clothed schr only looked at all of this calmly. He had a learned bearing, andpared to these ferocious deste beasts in front of him or the vast remote mountains around him, he appeared very out of ce.


    "The world is changing... "


    The azure-clothed schr sighed. Over the past few days, he had seen the Deste race army withdraw into the remote mountains. Many of them were injured, while the most powerful members of the Deste race all had solemn expressions on their faces. Clearly, the situation was worse than they originally expected.


    A few days ago, the azure-clothed schr had also listened in to the Deste race members who had withdrawn to the remote mountains in which they exined the reason for their fleeing.


    This was because the Tian Yuan world was currently undergoing a terrible catastrophe. A powerful ck-armored Demon God, who exceeded the strength of the Tian Yuan world and the Deste race, was engaged in a massacre. With just him alone, he was causing a bloody storm in the Large World. Wherever the ck-armored Demon God went, life would be extinguished, with nothing spared.


    Many people guessed that the ck-armored Demon God would likely grow in strength, and be so strong that he could destroy the Tian Yuan world and the Deste race’s martial civilization.


    That was definitely an oue of a cmity.


    "I wonder how the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom is... Have the citizens of the Divine Kingdom been ughtered by the ck-armored Demon God... ?" The azure-clothed schr muttered to himself and looked worried.


    This azure-clothed schr was the Tai Ah Divine City’s City Lord.


    More than ten years ago, the Deste race had opened a pathway from the Divine Wilderness into the Tian Yuan world. As such, the Tai Ah Divine City was destroyed by the Deste race, and all the strongest figures in the Tai Ah Divine City, including the City Lord, were captured.


    It was impossible for them to resist the Shepherd Boy. Furthermore, the Shepherd Boy had led a huge army of deste beasts, and there was even a Primordial True Spirit that was no weaker than a human Empyreal King.


    It was definite that the city would be overrun.


    Not even the Tai Ah Divine City’s City Lord, even the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom’s royalty, who were stationed along the Divine Kingdom’s border had been captured inrge numbers.


    This included two kings and two princes, as well as a princess of the royal family who had the beauty to topple countries.


    As the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom’s royalty was captured by the Deste race, the country was greatly eviscerated, causing the country’s strength to decline greatly.


    And those members of the royal family who were captured, as well as the mighty figures of the Tai Ah Divine City, had all been imprisoned for more than a decade. They were isted from the outside world and they did not know anything that had happened, nor know if the Deste race had ever taken the fight to the Tian Yuan world.


    Only today, when the Deste race fled into the remote mountains did they get some information regarding the outside world.


    So in the past decade or so, the outside world had undergone upheavals!


    They knew that the Deste race had a new Deste Queen. She was young and she had obtained the recognition of the Sacred Spirit, inheriting the throne.


    They also knew of a hidden organization, Blood Moon in the Tian Yuan world. They were known as the Martial Alliance on the surface, but they were actually an important chess piece that had instigated the ancient war tens of millions of years ago.


    With the Blood Moon overthrown, many of the Elders from the Tian Yuan world’s major factions formed a Tian Yuan Elder Consortium, so as to maintain a new order in the Tian Yuan world, as well as fight against the ck-armored Demon God, but it was to no avail.


    Now, the ck-armored Demon God had attacked the Divine Wilderness, but the Tai Ah Divine City’s City Lord did not derive any pleasure from their misfortune. If possible, he wished that the Deste race could destroy the ck-armored Demon God, while he carried on living out his life in the remote mountains. He did not wish for the Tian Yuan world, especially the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom’s inheritance, to be destroyed, or to see numerous citizens being ughtered by the ck-armored Demon God, causing rivers of blood to flow...


    Just as the azure-clothed schr was worrying about the future of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, an old man walked up behind the azure-clothed schr and said, "City Lord, the Deste race has sent someone, asking us to go over."


    Although they had been imprisoned for many years, those who came from the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, were still ustomed to calling the azure-clothed schr City Lord.


    And the old man who called out to the City Lord was the one Elders of the Tai Ah Divine City, Cang Yan.


    Back in the Tai Ah Divine City, Elder Cang Yan was a person who had an attitude of frivolous defiance. Despite more than a decade having passed and his imprisonment, he was still living quite a leisurely and carefree life in the remote mountains. He had food and drink here, and this ce had abundant primal Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. No one abused them either, so other than not being able to leave the remote mountains, it was actually nothing to Cang Yan.


    "The Deste race wants us there?" The azure-clothed schr was surprised, before he shook his head with a wry smile. He said, "For the Deste race to flee to this area, they are probably at the end of their ropes. They are probably thinking ofbining all forces, not even leaving out us prisoners imprisoned in the remote mountains. Together, we have to fight against the ck-armored Demon God, and will probably promise our freedom. However, against the ck-armored Demon God, what role can we y?" The azure-clothed schr said with a self-deprecating tone.


    The Tian Yuan world’s Elder Consortium was powerless against the ck-armored Demon God, so they had no means of even putting up a resistance.


    Cang Yan still had an indifferent attitude as heughed, saying, "City Lord, why do you keep sighing? Isn’t it just a ck-armored Demon God? Even if I can’t beat him, I’ll also take a bite at him. Even if he is called a Demon God, he’s just a single entity. Can he really destroy the entire world by himself? Now, we might not be his match, but there will be someone who will eventually be able to destroy him. I heard in recent years, a peerless genius appeared in the Tian Yuan world. At a young age, this kid was already on equal footing with many of the big figureheads in the Tian Yuan world. It soundspletely outrageous from the sound of it."


    "ording to what the Deste race said, this kid not only yed an important role in subverting Blood Moon, he is also the hope that to defeat the ck-armored Demon God. If I had a say, in a few hundred years, this kid might finish the ck-armored Demon God!"


    The remote mountains were void of information. Cang Yan had recently heard of a terrifying youth appearing in the Tian Yuan world. He was initially very rmed as the information sounded unbelievable. Itpletely overturned everything he knew.


    However, all the Deste race who escaped to the remote mountains had said the same thing, so slowly, Cang Yan could only believe it with a pinch of salt.


    "Hopefully... I wish this peerless genius was not fabricated by them... " The azure-clothed schr said as he shook his head.


    He had naturally heard of this news, but he refused to believe it.


    When people faced times of hardship, they needed a hero. Even without a hero, people would create one, as heroes brought hope to people.


    The azure-clothed schr suspected that the sudden appearance of a genius was to make people have confidence. He would be what kept people going, that as long as they remained resilient, one day, this hero would defeat the ck-armored Demon God.


    But was this true?


    This person definitely existed to be portrayed as a hero, but to say that he had such fearsome power at such a young age, the azure-clothed schr found it unbelievable. Many rumors were often exaggerated.
