"Or was it just one of his plans from the beginning!?" Min Hong asked…

"Never… In fact, the Elven Ancestor was one of the top three most trusted entity to the great creator, with the Dragon Ancestor being the second…"

​​

"But you see, as much as these demons knew nothing about our powers, it was likewise for us too and that was the deciding factor or simply the hot knife through the butter which was 'the great war'…"

"The beam of light that was shot into the Elven Ancestor's mind did not kill him, rather, it corrupted his mind, and by the time he came to, he had already become one of them…"

"Then since his job was to attack and support us from our rear, he was at the heart of our entire army, and as a result, all of us were at the mercies of his vicious arrows…"

"Now we were being attacked both from ahead and the rear…"

"Our morale plunged deeper into the abyss…"

"Our confidence disappeared with a 'puff', only to be replaced by sheer hopelessness, fear and bile-tasting bitterness…"

"We could have as well not battle with any formation, because the Elven Ancestor didn't go for a mass attack, instead, he went for the back bones of our entire army; Our *god* realm and Demigod realm experts…"

"He had already slaughtered over sixty god realm experts and more than seven hundred Demigod realm experts before we could even readjust and respond…"

"Then the worst thing of all happened when the demons dragged the bodies of these god and Demigod realm experts over to their Yao Emperor, who was one of the underlings of the Yao Sovereign…"

"This Yao Emperor then called out for volunteers amongst their kind, and the demons who volunteered had their souls transferred from their bodies into that of those dead god and Demigod realm experts…"

"Thus, the suppression effects of the Dao True Spirits were nullified on these new set of demons…"

"Yep, we tragically lost the war if that was what you were thinking…"

"But as the principle of duality and karma would show itself, the First Bloodline Ancestor of the Medusa Tribe, contacted the great creator and requested for power…"

"Sacrificing one of his Daos to increase the power of the Medusa Ancestor to the Autarch stage, the Medusa Ancestor sacrificed all her powers and life force in a last ditch attack…"

"She appeared in front of the Elven Ancestor and looked into his eyes, petrifying him, before moving on to the incoming demonified gods and Demigod experts, and then she detonated her head spilling her blood all over these experts, and as a result they were also petrified…"

"But this time, it was not only the demons that rushed for these petrified experts, our people also joined them, and after about thirty further sacrifices of our experts, we were able to gather all of them, and they are the ones you see at the 'Bridge of Ancestors'…"

"Wait… Are you telling me that my ancestor was one of those demonified experts!?" Little Wu asked with a frown…

"Yes, but after millions of years of being exposed to the ancient aura within this realm, the demonic aura and soul within them had been purified, but we still don't know how to remove the petrification process..."

"Except someone with a strong and extremely pure Medusa Tribe bloodline shows up, but the thing is, they have all been lost in that war, and even the sparse few who followed us into this dimension eventually passed away…"

"Just the mental breakdown of being the only four of five of the entire medusa tribe left was enough to stifle them to death…"

"Sometimes, I even think it was just the experience of their families and friends dying that later killed them from within…"

"After all, it would only take someone with a very strong mind and heart to survive that sort of experience, and these aspect of power were not really their strong suits…"

"When the Dragon Ancestor returned, we had lost over 80 percent of all the experts that started the battle with us, and it was at this moment that these demons brought out their true powers; the devils!"

"These guys were the true monsters, and they were so scary and fearsome that even the 'great creator' was not willing to allow us battle these creatures…"

"The 'great creator' even phrased it as 'Sending a baby salmon to stop a submarine…' and it was at this point that he created a separate dimension and had the rest of what we had move into it, before sealing us within…"

"But for some strange reasons, the Yao Overlord didn't allow his minions to chase after us…

"Though, before he gave the order, some of them had already followed through into this dimension, but they were only the weaklings amongst them…"

"Wait! Are you telling me that Yao Ming, was one of the weakest of these demons!?" Min Hong blurted in shock…

"Wait, what!?"

"You have met one of them before!?"

Shen Bing screamed in shock before she realized that her reaction seemed to be the odd one out amongst the four of them, and it was only then that she realized that it was not a new story to the trio in front of her…

"How were you even able to survive!?" She asked this time with a lower voice…

"Firstly, he would not claim to have met one, because you can never meet a true and healthy Yao Demon and survive, at least not even with your current strength…"

"Secondly, this was because the rest of us hunted down all the strays and killed the ones we could, but we could only seal away the rest within a formation that sucks away their powers and life force over time…"

"Lastly, these seals move and change locations within the dimension once every fifty years or so, and this was to prevent greedy humans and beings who would want to break the seal, all in the name of obtaining greater powers…"

"But if even the Elven Ancestor could be corrupted, then who were they!?" Old Man Li ended his narration by slurping a sip from his tea cup…

Min Hong wanted to ask something, but it was at that exact moment that he realized how dry his throat was just because his mouth had been agape the entire time…

"Would our mother be able to free those petrified guys?"

Daniel asked and received a response from Little Fei;

"If the current her tried it, she would surely die and still not free one percent of a single petrified expert…"

"And that is even considering the weakest amongst them…"

"So, what you are saying is that, we were basically dominated in battle and then force to flee to the innermost recess of our own Plane of Existence?" Little Wu asked…

But from what everyone could sense, it was like he had even lost his will to fight…

"Yes, and sooner or later, the Yao Sovereign would decide that it is time to come for the rest of us, and the day that happens will be the day we all cease to exist, except?..."

"Except what!?" Min Hong finally voiced through parched throat…

"We only have three options that could ensure our survival; the first is that the 'great creator' finds the True Spirits of his Daos and enter the Origin Realm; that way he would be able to battle the Yao Overlord on his own and if he manages to defeat it, then the rest of them would be forced to either serve us or die…

Furthermore, that means we will also have an extra Plane of Existence that we can make our own…"
