Chapter 430: The Secrets of Reincarnation

As for the troll clan, the Wolf King seemed to have a favorable impression of them. The sighs expressed when talking about this clan clearly reflected pity for them.
It makes sense—being one of the eight ancient great clans, what kind of concept is that? Even if all the strength of the Dark Source were combined today, it might not be comparable! They were beings that reached the heavens, towering like giants, beyond reach for ordinary people.
Everyone was shocked by these words. If outsiders heard this, they would surely be stunned—how could the troll clan have such a solid foundation?
Of course, the most shocked among them was Rod. Hearing this, his mind went blank. The troll clan was indeed not so simple. Just think of the Netherworld—could an ordinary clan create such a place? It was a existence that defied heaven and earth. Perhaps only an ancient clan like the trolls, with a heritage of hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, could achieve such things.
At the same time, Rod faintly sensed that perhaps it was because of these reasons that the troll clan had always hidden their identity and refused to reveal their glorious past.
At this moment, Rod seemed to have figured out why the troll clan had withdrawn. Besides wanting to recover, there was another important reason: they faced strong resistance and threats, namely the alliance of the ambitious war faction and the four great clans. This terrifying strength forced the troll clan to make such a decision.
Even if the troll clan had the strength to challenge the four great clans at that time, they still couldn’t resist their combined force, not to mention the internal chaos caused by the war faction. Under such internal and external pressures, they could only choose to withdraw. The troll clan was truly too battered—they needed a peaceful place to recover.
At this moment, Rod looked at the Wolf King’s expression and felt sympathy for the fate of the wolf clan. Looking at the dragon clan, he sighed slightly, without any hatred—after all, it was something anyone would do if they were in their shoes.
“Is that true?” Aida spoke up, asking the Dragon Clan’s Grand Elder, her eyes wide as if seeking confirmation.
“That’s right!” The Dragon Clan’s Grand Elder showed a bitter smile, filled with helplessness and sorrow. In an instant, he seemed to have aged greatly. The once-mighty dragon clan turned out to be just an insignificant clan from ancient times, which was truly embarrassing. His voice sounded extremely dry.
For a while, the secret room fell silent again, with only the sound of others’ breathing audible.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this. First, let’s discuss what that light was!” Rod broke the silence and asked in a deep voice. After all, the reason they had gathered here this time was of utmost importance.
“I already said it—there’s a second half to what I said that no one else knows. Of course, the trolls definitely know it, and so do we wolves, because we were present at the moment the Gate of Gods and Demons opened!” The Wolf King spoke with a hint of pride, seemingly proud of his tribe’s past glory.
“What do you mean?” The Dragon Clan’s Elder didn’t get angry at the Wolf King’s earlier remarks, as it was reality after all, and it would eventually be known by everyone. His mood seemed calm now.
“Gods and demons return, chaos ensues; the Demon God comes back, and all demons rise in rebellion!” The Wolf King slowly uttered these words one by one, looking at everyone.
“The Demon God comes back, and all demons rise in rebellion!” This second half was the most crucial part. The Demon God returning and all demons rising in rebellion—could it refer to events in the demon world? After all, the opening of the Gate of Gods and Demons brought not only divine statuses but also demonic ones. For every divine king, there would be a corresponding Demon God. There were 360 divine gods on the divine side, and 360 demon gods on the demonic side!
The Demon God returning and all demons rising in rebellion—was this referring to the chaos caused by those demon gods?
“That’s right—the Demon God returns, and all demons rise in rebellion!” The Wolf King nodded, confirming their theory.
Then, under everyone’s puzzled gazes, he continued, “Do you all think that gods and demons only appear after we acquire divine or demonic statuses?”
They nodded; no one disagreed with this view, at least in their understanding.
“That’s completely wrong. It’s just your ignorant perception! The opening of the Gate of Gods and Demons merely marks the beginning of a new era. If it were only us who could obtain divine or demonic statuses, would there really be endless cycles of wars between gods and demons? Would anyone continue fighting knowing it’s a dead end? No one is that foolish, especially once they’re in that position—they’ll fear losing everything and dying. Gods and demons aren’t that stupid!” The Wolf King gazed into the distance, speaking with emotion.
“What exactly is going on?” There seemed to be a huge secret hidden within this, astonishing everyone. They pressed for an explanation. Vaguely, they felt that this matter was extremely complex, far beyond their imagination.

Everyone widened their eyes at this moment, staring at the Wolf King like a group of curious children. He had truly become the teacher of everyone present. It was only then that they realized the Wolf King actually knew so much.

“Hmph, the so-called War between Gods and Demons is nothing but a battle between the gods and demons. Demons are not created through cultivation! When the Gate between Gods and Demons opens—as I said earlier—it merely marks the arrival of a new era, as well as the release of the demon souls sealed within. This is the beginning of a great era, a sign of its arrival.”

“Three hundred and sixty-one demon souls! Over time, they will one by one arrive in this world. All they need to do is find a physical body and quickly merge into it to restore their peak strength! These demon souls have their own consciousness. Once they grow strong, they will wreak havoc across the world with extreme cruelty. It is precisely because of this that the endless cycle of wars between gods and demons occurs.”

“As those who have attained divine status, what we need to do is seal these heavenly demons and demon gods once again! So, the so-called War between Gods and Demons is not a mutual slaughter among cultivators who have reached a certain level and obtained divine status and positions. Instead, it is a battle between those who have attained divine status and the demons that have escaped after being sealed for hundreds of thousands of years. Since these beings are immortal, the only option is to seal them, which leads to wars between gods and demons occurring every hundreds of thousands of years, in an endless cycle!” The Wolf King spoke with deep emotion, a hint of concern in his eyes. He knew such times were coming again, and war would soon break out once more.

“The beam we saw before was the return of the heavenly demons. We just don’t know how many have returned this time! Therefore, we must find them as soon as possible and drive them away or encircle them.”

“At present, our strength is not enough to seal them. To do so, we must reach the Xuanhuang realm, be able to wield and control the power of heaven and earth, and merge with them to find the Heart of Chaos!”

The Divine Emperor continued, noticing everyone’s furrowed brows. He knew they needed time to process this information.

The room was extremely quiet—so quiet that the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly. After a long, long time, their furrowed brows finally began to relax slowly.

“So, what we cultivators will obtain are all divine natures! As for the demonic positions, they’ve already been taken by those demonic souls! Now that the Gate between Gods and Demons has opened, these creatures have broken free from their seals and escaped one by one, eventually forming a massive army of demons that start to threaten the world. What we need is to seal them away again—that’s the Great War between Gods and Demons?” Rod asked in the next moment.

It was hard not to feel both amused and exasperated. How could this be seen as a war to uphold justice that seemed utterly unrealistic, something only found in novels? Rod never imagined he would encounter such a thing in this world.

Now that he had obtained the divine nature of a God King, it was obvious he would become the leader of this army, leading the gods to eliminate evil. Such an absurd plot had actually come true for him.

“That’s right, you can put it that way. In other words, all of humanity is now one camp. We need to unite the continents as quickly as possible and bring together all the strong ones to wage a war against the demons. Hopefully, there aren’t too many of these demonic souls that have escaped, and they’re within our control.

Moreover, we must quickly find the hosts of these demonic souls, destroy their bodies, prevent them from regaining their strength, and buy time. At the same time, we need to grow stronger quickly—only then can we confront those demonic souls!” the Wolf King said worriedly. As the family with the longest lineage, they knew the most, so they had more concerns and were more aware of the severity of the situation.

“Mm, we do need to find these guys quickly. I took a look just now—there should be three demonic souls that have escaped. There were three lights hidden within the golden light; it must be three!” the Dragon Clan’s Grand Elder also said seriously.

Everyone fell silent. They had all seen three greenish-black lights, so it was clear there were three. Their concern was knowing when a second batch, or even a third wave, might appear.

“What strength can these demonic souls achieve after possessing a host? How can we drive them away?” Rod asked. This was the most important question—first, we needed to understand their strength.

“It’s not difficult. For millions of years, it’s always been the same. The demonic souls appear first. As long as we work together to drive them away, it’s no problem. After possessing a host, their strength is around the early stage of the Yin Yellow realm. The stronger demons can reach the early stage of the Yang Xuan realm! Within three years, they can recover to level eight or above. By then, the strength of the demons will reach the middle or late stage of the Yang Xuan realm, while the demon gods can reach the Xuan Huang realm. So we must act quickly.”

Once their physical bodies are destroyed, their strength will be only at the divine perfection level. At that time, we can start pursuing them. Since we can’t seal them, we can drive them to the God’s Lament Forbidden Land, a place suitable for sealing them. It’s no problem to trap them there for a short time!
The Wolf Emperor arrived slowly, once again earning everyone’s admiration!
Thinking of the God’s Lament Forbidden Land, Rod sighed slightly. He never expected this place to have such an effect. It seems that it’s called a forbidden land not only because of the terrifying magical beast tribes there, but also for this reason.
