A Demon's Journey-Chapter 525 The Two Rules In Celestial Race

Following the Radiant God's Avatar's revelation, the Main Hall of the Central Cathedral of the Radiant Church in Zavega, the Lamhilhan Theocracy's Capital, had become remarkably silent.

"W-What?! A D-Demon God?! Moreover, it's the Tyrannical Asura Devil God?! Didn't he die in the Ancient Era?" Esther was utterly shocked as she shakily asked for confirmation. The Radiant God's Avatar's grim smile was all the verification she required.

The Tyrannical Asura Devil God was a rather famous name within Heaven. He was an extremely powerful and influential demon who had killed many Celestial Gods but also Devil Gods.

He was considered rather willful and held no pride whatsoever, so it was impossible to find his weakness. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

It was said that he had angered both parties so greatly that they launched a simultaneous attack coincidentally and killed him! 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

However, the Radiant God knew that the truth was something else!

The Celestials had done their best to remove all information about this demon god from the human world. It was to prevent the other races from finding that the Celestial Race and the Demon Race had joined hands.

The Tyrannical Asura Devil God was not only powerful and talented, but he held a lot of secrets. Secrets that could shake the very foundations of the Celestial and the Demon Race.

The Celestial Race and the Demon Race weren't a monolith. Even though they held a supreme 9 Star Expert, it didn't mean that this 9 Star Expert handled everything for them. There was a lot of independence within the race.

However, a set of rules had been established, which served as the race's philosophy. "Death to all Demons/ Celestials!!"

Even the Primordial God and the Demon Venerable were no exceptions to this rule. If they broke this rule, their united race could fall apart, and it would become weaker and weaker.

This affected the Primordial God more seriously than the Demon Venerable since his power origin was Faith Energy. If his race split apart, his power would fall dramatically.

The second rule was "Control the world through faith/ fear!"

Thus, there were two factions in the Celestial and the Demon Races. One side followed the first regulation zealously while the other followed the second one.

The Supreme Leaders of both races leaned a bit on the second one, but they never showed any particular bias. It would negatively affect their race, after all.

Thus, they wished to keep their cooperation a secret from the individuals who zealously followed the first rule.

The Radiant God tilted towards the second rule and heard more secrets than a typical Celestial. The Archangels didn't know about this secret, but they had heard of the Tyrannical Asura Devil God. He was made a villain in many of the Celestial's constructed stories.

All three Archangels were nervously sweating at this moment. In fact, it wouldn't be strange if all of them had died in the Glerian Kingdom.

They wondered why this Demon God let them go. Did he take pity on them? But that's impossible. Or could that be attributed to his willfulness? None of them knew the answer.

The Radiant God's Avatar slowly spoke, "…I also heard of his death. I don't know how but it seems that he survived somehow. According to my observation of information my spirit gathered from within that Divine Zither, this Tyrannical Asura Devil is only a Demon King at this moment. Maybe he suffered a grave injury because he used a forbidden technique? But that doesn't matter anymore. The fact remains that he is in the Glerian Kingdom, and we need to purge him quickly."

His face turned a bit serious as he added, "You all do not need to worry too much. You can kill him since he is still merely a Demon King. He is still restricted by his realm."

In the meantime, the Radiant God was thinking 'I sensed the same spiritual signature from him as that of the individual who stole my Faith Energy. Don't tell me that it was his clone?! But how did he cultivate Holy Ardor?! But he also gave off a humane aura. How can so many powers converge in a single body?! Just what sort of cultivation technique is he practicing?!'

The Radiant God was truly terrified of Azaroth. Even though he was a God-Ranked Expert, his power couldn't be compared to the peak of the Tyrannical Asura Devil God.

The Radiant God couldn't be considered a top tier God-Ranked Expert. In fact, he could only be considered a mid-tier God-Ranked Expert. Someone who was somewhat stronger than a typical God-Ranked Expert.

Meanwhile, Azaroth could be considered a top-tier God Ranked Expert because he lived during the Ancient Era and had participated in that Great War.

That was a Golden Era filled with many talents and techniques. Experts were as numerous as clouds. And even during that era, the Tyrannical Asura Devil God managed to make a name for himself.

Thus, it made sense that the Radiant God was terrified of him quite a bit. In the current era, the battle had nearly ceased to occur since the humans occupied the continent.

The humans were so strong that fighting them was nothing but foolishness for the Celestials or the demons. Only if the two races joined forces could they fight the humans. But that was impossible because of the two factions in their races.

Thus, the situation had devolved to this extent. Both the Celestial Gods and the Demon Gods could be considered out of practice. And since no great war occurred, no new talents emerged.

The saying "War gives birth to heroes" was absolutely true. Even though great war occurred nearly two million years ago and only lasted for about 300 years, the number of talents that propped up in those 300 years of war period were twice more than the talents that propped up in those two million years of peace.

Each talent that propped up during that Great War could have shaped an era around themselves.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, these talents were born during the era when the world was overflowing with talents. Thus, they died rather typical death and couldn't morph that era around themselves.

Even though the Radiant God was terrified, it didn't mean he would give up on killing Azaroth. In fact, he was even more determined to do so.

He knew the threat this man posed to the entire Celestial Race. His death was more urgent than anything else in the world.

In the meantime, Azaroth reached the Eastern Mountain Range of the Glerian Kingdom. He quickly found Noah and others by using his Mystic Eyes of Perception. Under his Mystic Eyes of Perception, no illusion or concealing array could fool him.

He easily passed through those arrays and assembled his retainers.

"…Today, I have assembled you here to assign you my next tasks." Azaroth spoke seriously.

"What is it, Master?" Noah asked rather excitedly. He had recently created a new technique and was eager to test it out.

He was feeling rather depressed after losing to David Vermillion. And this technique he had created would definitely allow him to fight David Vermillion equally or even defeat him!

The rest of them were curious about what Azaroth's next task for them was.

"It's time for you all to travel to different kingdoms and continue expanding your respective organizations. Remain in contact from time to time."

"Noah will be the de facto leader while Sargan will be the vice leader. You all must listen to the two of them. Got it?!"

He received affirmative nods from all his retainers. Noah and Sargan enjoyed a high reputation among his retainers, so the others found it rather easily to accept.

Meanwhile, Azaroth stared at Laura and spoke, "…The Mysterious Jade Spirit Ginseng you are searching for is somewhere in the south. That's all I know. After finding it, return to the Elven Kingdom and focus on increasing your influence in it."

Laura was delighted to hear the location of the Mysterious Jade Spirit Ginseng, "Woah! You really found the location of that herb! Thank you, Master! I will definitely become the crown princess of the Elven Kingdom after I return!"

Azaroth coldly nodded and then glanced at Noah, "You need to travel to the Empire of Qin sometime soon. You cultivate the Mysterious Qin Technique; I am sure it has some relation with this Empire of Qin."

Noah excitedly responded, "Got it, Master! I won't disappoint you!"

Azaroth cocked his head in Sargan's direction, "It's time for you to return to Purgatory and gain control of the Bach Clan. With your talent and abilities now, it should not be too difficult for you to become the most talented member of your clan and enjoy great quantity of resources. I will open up a portal for you to return to Purgatory. It won't be a forbidden zone. That's all I can promise you. You need to make your way back to home by yourself."

He turned to Ralph, "Travel to the far west and enter the Beast Kingdom. Only then can you unlock your true potential as the inheritor of the Sabertooth Tiger's Bloodline. Participate in the trials there and gain even more Ancient Blood. This is the fastest way you can become stronger."

He then focused on Yrellea, "Your task is simple enough. Expand the Misty Flower Pavilion. Use the techniques you possess and advance further."

He glanced at Tiana and spoke, "Your task is similar to Yrellea. Just make sure that your sect becomes influential and powerful!"

And lastly, he glanced in William's direction, "I have already informed you of your task. You need to travel the world. I am sure you can already see the Golden Streams in the world as you activate your Abyss Eyes. Find a lot of acquaintances who have a thick golden aura."

"Additionally, anyone among my retainers is trapped or in danger, it will be your job to save them, William!"

At this moment, Sargan stepped up and asked Azaroth rather worriedly, "…Master, why does it feel like you are assigning us our final tasks?"
