In Kelowen's eyes, everything Bai Xiaowen said was true.
But to Bai Xiaowen, the "Demon God Skull" was most likely the "Death God's Skull"—something more important to him than the entire Dark Age Plane.
On that point, Bai Xiaowen had lied. Kelowen lacked the information to know how important the Death God's Remains were to him, so she was bound to come out worse in the negotiations.
Before they began, Bai Xiaowen asked one more question.
What exactly did the death of Ismen, one of the Three Supreme Demon Kings and one of the three Divine Scions, mean? How would it affect the demons of the Dark Age Plane?
After all, Kelowen had said that killing just one Supreme Demon King would bring an end to demon rule.
Bai Xiaowen wanted to know what "the end of demon rule" actually meant.
"My teacher told me that our world originally had no demons," Kelowen replied. "Then the three Demon Kings invaded, bringing an endless tide of demons that eventually corrupted our world. The three Supreme Demon Kings are the three pillars sustaining that corruption. If even one falls, our world will gradually heal itself, and the demons will be driven out."
Bai Xiaowen understood. If demons were germs invading this world, then the Three Supreme Demon Kings were their protective shield. They kept corrupting the Dark Age Plane, turning it into a paradise for demons.
He also understood why Kelowen and her teacher wanted to exile him, the "Dark Savior." They no longer needed him. With one corner of the demon faction's iron triangle gone, the entire faction would gradually collapse.
Besides, Kelowen's teacher had learned through prophecy that Bai Xiaowen was no saint.
Bai Xiaowen could understand why the two wanted to cast him aside once his work was done.
