Although this history was ancient, a handful of Divine Men knew of it. It hardly counted as a secret.
Of course, the dark-haired young man's account had also been embellished. It was a polite way of putting things.
What nonsense about "simple, warmhearted folk"-Zhang Ming rolled his eyes. What utter bullshit!
Even without outside pressure, the Shanhai Realm would only have torn itself apart from within. Misery was the norm for its people. No so-called world of universal harmony had ever existed...
Zhang Ming, who was reading the memories, was instead left dumbfounded. He licked his dry lips.
Why did you damned Space-Time Worm have to stick your nose into everything? You really were notorious, causing so much trouble!
"Why did the Demon Gods invade our world? Because they had no choice." The dark-haired young man sighed. "My teacher believed that something existed in the Mythological Center, the very first origin-the mythological origin."
"The closer one gets to the Mythological Center, the stronger one becomes."
"By that reasoning, it is only natural that Demon Gods are stronger than us. They themselves fled from the Mythological Center."
This conclusion was rather novel, drawing everyone's attention.
"What is the Mythological Center?" someone asked.
The dark-haired young man answered, "My teacher believed that the Mythological Center might be alive!"
"It is unimaginable, indescribable, and unknowable. It is a Demon God that hunts Demon Gods."
This reasoning made even more people gasp.
"Only by becoming an ultimate Demon God, without any weaknesses, can one escape being hunted by that 'thing.'"
The dark-haired young man's teacher was the renowned supreme powerhouse, "Burial."
Only because Burial had now merged his ego with the earth had the barely safe Burial Realm come into being.
The information Burial had uncovered had to be taken seriously.
Someone else frowned.
