He had originally wanted to explain his identity to Di Tian, but after learning that the events of that year were connected to his master, the Space Dragon King, Demon Spirit had not dared reveal his true nature at all. He had merely relied on his peculiar abilities to keep an extremely low profile.
If he had not been sent out on official business this time and been unable to resist doing a little extra...
Perhaps even after another few tens of thousands of years, even after Di Tian died, no one would have discovered that someone who had existed since the days of the Divine Realm was right there beside him.
After all... Demon Spirit genuinely knew nothing, and his abilities were nothing special. Under normal circumstances, he hardly seemed like someone who could have survived since the era of the Divine Realm.
By Spirit Beast standards, he was strong, but by the standards of the surviving Divine Beasts from the Divine Beast Era...
He was essentially a failure.
Although Demon Spirit might have had nothing to do with what happened back then, his identity as the Space Dragon King's pet was enough to displease Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King.
What was more, whether intentionally or otherwise, Demon Spirit had directly attacked someone suspected of being the Dragon Prince's reincarnation. That was undoubtedly tantamount to reenacting the betrayal of all those years ago.
Loyalty that was not absolute was absolute disloyalty. They could overlook Demon Spirit slacking off, but now he had attacked someone he should never have touched. There was truly no reason to keep him around any longer.
The reason they were still sparing Demon Spirit's life was not that he absolutely had to remain alive, but that they had a better use for him.
