Chapter 882 882: Past Events of the Severed Prison (Part 2)

In response to Pei Yan's question, Samikina shook his head and replied, "Revenge isn't as simple as you might think, especially when he has to confront the core group of his entire Demon Race, even his own father! He needs time to prepare, so after the incident, he remained calm and behaved as usual for a long period. Even Demon God, who was busy dealing with inter-dimensional disputes at the time, relaxed his guard and believed the matter had passed.""Either die in silence or burst forth from it!" Pei Yan remarked with timely emotion.

Old Samikina glanced at Pei Yan and nodded in agreement with his words, "Yes, the disaster burst forth amid such silence, and by that time, three hundred years had passed since that incident, and just when everyone had forgotten it, he struck! His move was extremely ruthless. While Demon God was away from the Hell Plane on a journey to other planes, he colluded with the descendants of the side bloodlines who had long harbored resentment against the Holy Mother's lineage and suddenly attacked, slaughtering the Holy City. Holding the Divine Artifact in his hand, he held an enormous advantage at the start of the rebellion. The family that harmed his mother was completely annihilated by him, and what's even more unacceptable is that he invaded the Holy Hall and used the Divine Artifact to kill the Holy Mother, who was powerless to resist."

"Ugh! Doing that meant he gave himself no escape route! Were those who rebelled with him insane too? Did they really make up their minds to confront Demon God?" Pei Yan was stunned and his mouth dropped open upon hearing this, no wonder Demon God no longer wished to use that Divine Artifact; there was such a hidden story behind it.

"Blinded by hatred! Later, there was a hypothesis that he possessed the origin of both the Hell and Magic Realm planes. The source energy was too dark, compounded by the event's impact, which amplified negative emotions, leading him to lose control in the end and go to extremes. Henceforth, absorbing the origin of one's plane became taboo until the four planes utilized their properties to balance each other, resulting in the birth of the Child of Origin." Old Samikina bitterly smiled as he continued, "In fact, those who followed the rebellion weren't as insane as you think. Their initial goal was merely to cleanse the descendants of the Holy Mother's lineage. They hoped doing so would force Demon God to compromise with them, ultimately gaining a position within the clan that was previously unattainable. Killing the Holy Mother wasn't part of their plan; it was his own decision. In his eyes, the Holy Mother was the source of this disaster, and after he committed the deed, his followers knew there was no turning back, and they could only follow him into the abyss of destruction."

"To counter Demon God, that person used the Divine Artifact in his possession to break the seals set by the origin of the four planes and opened the Sealed Land. From that day on, the Divine Artifact originally not called the Prison Breaker gained its current title of the Sword of Hell Cleave Prison Breaker. He reached an agreement with the rebels involved in the rebellion and the monsters of the Sealed Land, joining forces in the rebellion against Demon God."

Recalling the past recorded in old texts, Old Samikina couldn't help but lament, "This was a rebellion without victors. By the time things reached this point, the rebels had long forgotten their original objectives. When the Holy Mother met her demise, they knew there was no possibility of negotiation with Demon God; they either used force to compel Demon God to yield or faced a path leading only to death. Everyone released their final frenzy, leaving behind scorched earth wherever the rebels went."

"Even when Demon God returned to the Hell Plane, facing the vast uprising army, this war to suppress the rebellion lasted three years. Just as you see now, the battle naturally ended with Demon God's victory. The defeated one was gravely injured in the end, and along with the Divine Artifact and the Hell Beasts, was sealed once again in the Sealed Land."

As Old Samikina spoke, he stood up and began walking towards the corridor outside, Pei Yan quickly followed, only to hear him continue, "It was this battle that nearly obliterated all non-pure blood descendants from Demon God, except those of the Holy Mother's lineage. The surviving Holy Mother's lineage's descendants, who participated in suppressing the rebellion, became even more trusted by Demon God, thus establishing the Old Faction nobility. My family rose during that battle, and as a result of that battle, my great-grandfather suffered severe internal injuries. He died suddenly shortly after the war, passing the family legacy to my young grandfather. Since then, the Old Faction nobility has been at the core of the Demon Race's ruling class, until the recent Disaster Legion invasion caused the rise of lower-level demons, forming a new force, sparking the new versus old faction conflict you see now."

After narrating this historical account, the two reached Pei Yan's temporary residence, and the old man gestured toward the door with a smile, "Well, now you know the stories you wanted to hear. I know what you're worried about, but as Demon God said, it might merely be a thorn in his side. So many years have passed, and no Demon Race individual could survive in such a harsh environment until now. You needn't worry about him; it's better to rest properly and prepare to face the fierce Hell Beasts; that's more practical. It's getting late, and I have to prepare for your essence blood fusion ceremony tomorrow, so I won't bother your rest any further!"

After nodding and thanking Old Samikina, Pei Yan watched the elder leave, returning to his room, lying on the bed, and reflecting on tonight's conversation. Though both Demon God and Old Samikina swore that the holder of the Prison Breaker was dead, Pei Yan couldn't help but feel that things weren't that simple. Not to mention, Old Samikina never revealed that person's name throughout the storytelling, implying lingering fear of him. If he were truly a deceased person, why harbor such fear?

Judging by how Demon God secretly sabotaged him when entering the Ghost Realm before, this trial wouldn't go smoothly. Regardless of the outcome, since he's arrived, he shall remain; Pei Yan must obtain the Prison Breaker!

With such thoughts, Pei Yan rested until the next day, eagerly seeking out Old Samikina to commence the special training. The latter readily led him to undergo the essence blood fusion ceremony. Surprisingly, Demon God did not attend this time, but the fusion process proved to be far more complex than when Pei Yan first consumed that little piece of Demon God Essence Blood.

Looking at the tub filled with blood exuding a thick stench, Pei Yan glanced at Old Samikina standing beside him, surprised, "Isn't this a bit exaggerated!"

"What you previously absorbed was merely essence blood from a lower-ranking pure-blood noble, while this tub holds blood collected from the most outstanding individuals among the pure-blood nobility, including blood from bodies personally modified by Demon God!" Old Samikina pointed at the tub with his hand, his eyes full of pride and envy.
