Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Tianjian Continent.

Chu Yuan, led by the Golden-Winged Roc, advanced through the continent.

Meanwhile.

Within a palace that floated above the firmament of the Tianjian Continent,

a middle-aged man in a black Dao robe, his face shadowy, was seated cross-legged on a cushion.

This man sat there, holding a stone that emitted a curious aura; with eyes tightly closed, he seemed to be in cultivation.

This middle-aged man was none other than the ruler of the Tianjian Continent now.

To be exact, a demon.

A Great Demon of unspeakable terror!

The demons of the Tianjian Continent addressed him as the Demon Master!

Whirr...

Suddenly,

the 'Demon Master' opened his eyes, a glint of cold fierceness flashing within them.

He turned his head towards the entrance of the palace.

In the direction of the palace's entrance was the very same way Chu Yuan entered the Tianjian Continent.

"This aura..."

"The scent of the Heavenly Dao? What does the Heavenly Dao of this New Heaven and Earth want to do?"

The Demon Master was somewhat puzzled.

He was unquestionably an existence from an ancient era.

Most of the Demon Race within the Tianjian Continent were also beings from the ancient era, merely resurged in the new one.

Being from an ancient era and trying to make any moves in the new era was exceedingly difficult.

Let alone occupying an entire continent and becoming its master.

The reason the Demon Master was able to successfully dominate the entire continent relied on the very item he was holding in his hand.

This item, known as the Heavenly Dao Stone, contained the Power of the Heavenly Dao within it.

It allowed them to deceive the heavens and hide from the New Heaven and Earth's detection of their identity as beings from an old era.

By relying on it, the Demon Master led the demons of the ancient era to conquer this continent.

However, the sudden emergence of the aura of the Heavenly Dao now baffled him.

The Heavenly Dao has no consciousness to speak of and couldn't possibly detect their identities.

Even if it did, with the protection of the Heavenly Dao Stone and under the rules, the Heavenly Dao of the New Heaven and Earth couldn't take action against them.

Since they couldn't deal with them,

why would the aura of the New Heavenly Dao appear out of nowhere?

No matter how much the Demon Master speculated, he couldn't come to a conclusion.

Eventually, having no other choice, the Demon Master closed his eyes again, and released more Divine Sense, constantly observing the Tianjian Continent as he continued his cultivation, recovering his own strength.

He and the demons who had resurged from the ancient era had not fully restored their strength.

Yet, even without full strength, they were more than enough to dominate this New Heaven and Earth.

In the eyes of the Demon Master, dominating this New Heaven and Earth was far too easy; he had no interest at all. In his view, only after Ascension could he regain the glory of the old era.

"Right now, I've recovered to the Loose Immortal Realm. Give me another thirty years, and I'll definitely recover to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Then, with the power of a Heavenly Immortal, I should be able to forcibly open the pathway of this world to other worlds."

This thought surfaced in the Demon Master's mind, and then he thought no more of it.

...

On a major road of the Tianjian Continent,

Chu Yuan walked, looking back at Jin Yu, who followed with an obedient air, utterly speechless.

This guy, he actually didn't dare to fly.

No matter what he said or did,

Jin Yu refused to fly and could only walk.

Having no choice,

Chu Yuan could only walk as well, observing the scenery of the Tianjian Continent, which wasn't too bad.

Of course, that was what Chu Yuan initially thought.

Now, it was different.

He found that on the Tianjian Continent, there was simply no scenery to speak of.

Everywhere were ruins.

And from time to time, Great Demons battled, preying on each other.

The Tianjian Continent was like a primitive forest, a survival of the fittest with no pretenses whatsoever.

"Could you walk a bit faster?"

Chu Yuan glanced at Jin Yu and said.

"Senior, wait, please wait, Senior, you're walking too fast..."

Jin Yu panted as he caught up with Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan walked in an invincible state, far beyond what any Golden-Winged Dapeng could match.

"Fast? You call this fast? How about we take to the skies, and I'll show you what real speed is."

Chu Yuan rolled his eyes and said.

"Fly? No! Don't! Senior, I'll walk faster, we don't need to fly!!"

Jin Yu flat-out refused.

The mere mention of flight painted his face with terror.

He was probably the only Golden-Winged Dapeng in the Golden-winged Dapeng clan with a shadow over flying.

"Alright, alright, then let's walk."

Chu Yuan, too, was feeling a headache and waved his hand, continuing to walk ahead.

This time he slowed down significantly, deliberately allowing Jin Yu to keep up.

As they walked,

Boom!

A loud noise from ahead attracted the advancing Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan looked up.

On a colossal mountain in the distance,

A giant ape with white fur was holding a sky-reaching tree as a club, smashing it against a giant tiger in front of it.

With one smash, the giant tiger's flesh flew, and the scene was incredibly bloody.

The giant ape, without the slightest care, dragged the tiger and began to gnaw on it.

Chu Yuan frowned at the sight.

However, he didn't feel much about it.

Civilization stemmed from the Human Race.

The Demon Race being brutal seemed quite normal, right?

"Jin Yu, are there no humans on this continent?"

Chu Yuan stopped and turned to ask.

"The Human Race..."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yu felt a chill in his heart.

He dared not look at Chu Yuan anymore.

The only thought in his mind was...

Could it be that this powerful being was from the Human Race?

If this powerful being was from the Human Race, wouldn't he be in trouble?

Jin Yu couldn't even dare to imagine that.

After all, the Tianjian Continent was originally ruled by the Human Race. It wasn't until they were mostly wiped out that it fell under the rule of the Demon Race.

If this powerful being was a historical figure from the Tianjian Continent's Human Race, then...

The first to die would definitely be him.

"Will you speak up?"

Chu Yuan urged.

He was starting to wonder if Jin Yu had flown a bit and become addled.

"Predecessor, the Human Race, the Human Race is gone..."

Jin Yu said tremulously.

He then briefly explained the situation to Chu Yuan.

"The Human Race has perished?"

Chu Yuan was stunned.

He had not expected the humans of this continent to have met with such a tragic end.

Completely wiped out.

"Senior, please calm your anger! Actually, not all of the Human Race is wiped out; a part of them escaped to a mysterious city. Protected by that city, the Demon Race couldn't do anything to them, and they survived."

Jin Yu quickly added.

"A mysterious city! What's so mysterious about it? Take me to see it."

Even though Chu Yuan thought the Demon Race might have gone too far, he did not take his anger out on Jin Yu.

He still had a good impression of Jin Yu.

This junior was quite amusing.

A Golden-Winged Dapeng afraid to fly.

"Sure, senior, please, I'll take you there right away."

"Hmm, by the way, did you take part in the extermination of the Human Race on this continent?"

"Senior!! No! I awakened late, by the time I appeared, the Human Race of the continent had already perished..."

"That's fine, lead the way..."
