Chapter 1524:
"As expected of Senior. You understood him with just a few words. Meanwhile, I still had problems in trying to understand him."
Long Chen acted as if he was really amazed at how wise this man was, but on the inside, he couldn't help but laugh. This was the problem with people who wanted to show off. They rarely could accept that they didn't understand anything.
"Long Chen, please ask the Great Senior's Spirit if he knows who these two people are? I'm sure it might be important. The statue here must have some significance."
"Alright, let me ask him." Even Long Chen was curious about who these two were, but he didn't believe that Long Tian could know. He had been inside the Bloodline Temple all this while. If anyone could know, it was going to be Xun.
"Do you know who they are?" he asked the young lady.
Against all his expectations, Long Tian nodded his head. "I know these two."
"How?" Long Chen asked.
"The two statues were stolen from the Bloodline Temple after all," Long Tian answered. "These were stolen with the Maze of Death and the other treasures."
"So these two statues are also a treasure?"
"They are. The statues were created by the Master of this Bloodline. These two were one of the most powerful of their time. It was when the world had just begun. These two even fought the Master of this Bloodline only to lose."
"So they were his enemies?" Long Chen inquired. "Why would he make their statue then?"
"Just because they fought didn't mean they were enemies. On the contrary, the Master of this Bloodline really liked the two. He is also the one who trained these two personally," Long Tian explained.
"The one on the left is the Ancestor who established the Demon Realm... The first Demon to ever walk on earth. The one on the right is the first Heavenly God."
"The Demon God and the Heavenly God?" Long Chen exclaimed out loud. His words managed to reach the ears of the White Tiger King as well.
"The Demon God and the Heavenly God?" he asked.
"Let me understand first. I'll explain to you later." Long Chen told the White Tiger King to stay calm.
Before this, no one had talked to the white tiger King like this and that too before his daughter, but he couldn't get angry at this point. He needed Long Chen since only he could talk to this Spirit, which knew the answer.
He acted as if nothing had happened.
"That's right. One is the Demon God, and the other is the Heavenly God. As you already know the story about the master of this Bloodline, I think it's time I told you the entire history."
"You saw the story on the walls and a dream about two Ancient Gods arguing in space? That wasn't just a random dream; that was what happened in reality at the start of this universe."
"There were two gods. They were the origin gods, the first divine entities to come out of the great chaos. Those two were the ones who created various worlds, the nature and the civilizations that exist even to this day."
"In essence, they were the core of this world. The gods that created the Immortals. They created the Heaven to encompass all the positive energy from the world, and they created the Demon Realm to utilize the chaotic energy of the universe," Long Tian explained.
"But then one of the two gods created humans because he thought that mortals were needed in this universe to teach it the meaning of staying happy with limited lifespans. He gave them the potential to break through barriers and gain immortality naturally unlike handing them immortality on a silver platter," Long Chen replied, remembering what he had seen.
"Exactly. The other god didn't like the imperfections he had created, so he sealed that God forever. The one who created the humans was sealed forever in an unknown place. I think you already met that guy before."
"Xu Liang... Yeah. I almost died at that time." Long Chen agreed.
"Exactly. Anyway, back to the topic. After Xu Liang was sealed, that left only one God in the universe... The God who was all alone. Spending infinity in the vast space all alone, even he couldn't bear the loneliness, so he decided to do something."
"He took a human form and came down to the World where his creations lived together... He came to the world of Immortals.. the place where Heavenly Warriors and the Demons lived together."
"They did? I thought they lived separately from the beginning."
Long Tian shook his head. "That's where you're wrong. At the start, both sides lived together. God went to that world in his human form. There he met two friends... The two you see before you."
Long Chen chanced back at the two statues in the back, trying to see how they would've looked alive.
"There, he met the two. Since he had been lonely all his life, he liked spending time with the two. He also became a friend of theirs. He taught them many things. With his help, the two friends became so strong that there was no one as strong as them in the entire world."
"The Demon became the Clan Leader of the Demons because of his strength, while the Heavenly Warrior was made the Heavenly Clan leader. Thus, the two became the first Demon God and the First Heavenly God."
"With time, things started changing though. Since the two had become their Clan leaders, they couldn't just go out and have fun. They couldn't just think about themselves anymore. They had to think about their clans first. The conflict between the two clans kept increasing in the backdrop."
"God had created the Immortals to never die, but that was only for death from sickness and old age. They could still die if they were killed, and that's what was happening in large numbers now."
"People from both sides kept dying in conflicts. The two friends tried to solve the situation by asking the other to control his people. They both believed the fault lied with the other's side and theirs."
"Ultimately, things became so bad that the friendship of the two was broken. Someone had killed the daughter of the Demon God, and it was believed that this was the work of the Heavenly Warriors."
"Enraged, the Demon God slaughtered millions of Heavenly Warriors within the next sixty minutes. Since he didn't know who could've killed his daughter there, he wiped all the Heavenly Warriors in the area, numbered in millions!"
