A secret, yet someone had learned it in advance?
"Are you sure nobody knows this secret?"
"Doesn't everybody fucking know? They even made preparations in advance."
"And you were still fucking keeping it under wraps just now?"
"I... I've been sealed away for too many years. My brain isn't working too well."
"Enough. You don't even have a brain right now. I know because I've encountered the Devil Race before, just not the Devil Race of Ultimate Heaven."
"What? You're not a native of Ultimate Heaven?"
"Not important."
"It looks like your Devil Race really was targeted. But why exactly were they targeting you?"
"Did nothing really happen to your Devil Race back then that led to everything afterward?"
Something that happened back then?
Hearing Chen Changan's words, the Devil Race remnant soul gave it some serious thought. However, he had not been a core member of the Devil Race back then, nor had his standing been particularly high. Even if something really had happened, he would not necessarily have known about it.
"To be honest, my standing wasn't high enough to give me access to many core matters."
"Asking me won't get you anywhere."
"Well, even if I don't know, could you please not attack me? Let's keep things friendly."
"Keeping me around will be useful to you. Definitely useful."
Useful?
"What use is keeping you around? Waiting for you to regain your strength and then stab me in the back?"
"Look at you. Why do you have to talk so harshly? We're friends, we're buddies. Would I do something like stab you in the back? That's not how our Devil Race does things."
"Has your Devil Race done that so rarely?"
"We have done it, sure, but only because the other party wasn't sincere and had ulterior motives.
