Her words were like a curved knife, slicing into Hei Wuhua's throat, leaving him speechless for a long time.
Seeing that he remained silent, Qin Luo continued with his conjecture.
"Given your personality, was it because you were too ostentatious when you were successful that you aroused the jealousy of others, which led to you being assigned to the border of the demon race?"
This statement was immediately refuted by Black Martial Flower.
"That's not how it is. The Chaos Land was simply looking for a place to settle in the universe, but having no background, it was thrown here..."
This truly surprised Qin Luo; he had originally thought that such a thing only happened in the human realm.
Who would have thought that something like this could happen in the vast universe?
"I've heard that the God of the Universe is extremely fair. Didn't you go and ask her for help?"
"Ask her? Do you think she's so easy to see? Let alone me, even your father would probably run himself ragged and still not get a chance to see her."
Qin Luo…
"I told you not to pry into my memories again."
"No, no, I saw it before..."
Seeing his cowardly appearance, Qin Luo felt very complicated, with a strange feeling that she wanted to shake him off but couldn't.
It was as if they were bound together by some mysterious force.
"Then tell me more about what happened after we reached the edge of the Demon Realm!"
Hei Wuhua nodded timidly, and then slowly began to explain.
"When I first arrived here, because I was well hidden, everything seemed no different from before. There was no barrier then, until one day, a thousand years later..."
As he spoke, his expression seemed to convey both resentment and a touch of nostalgia.
“A group of demon children accidentally discovered the existence of this place. Perhaps it had been too long since they had seen so many innocent and playful children, so they did not think of driving them away and just let them play and frolic here.”
At this point, his tone suddenly became very agitated.
"But the peaceful days didn't last long. As if cursed, they turned their original secret base into a battlefield where they devoured each other."
"Eating each other? I've only ever heard of demons devouring each other, but the demon race does the same?"
Hei Wuhua shook her head upon hearing this.
"That's not actually the case. Demons have difficulty reproducing, and the Demon King has long stipulated that they cannot devour their own kind."
"Why are they like this? Could they really be under some kind of curse?"
"At first I didn't know either, but later I heard from one of the children that it was because of the awakening of bloodline."
"Bloodline awakening?"
"Yes, their parents were originally high-level demons, and they also carried the bloodline of the Demon Lord. I wonder if it was because they suddenly came into contact with spiritual energy outside of the demon race that their ancestral bloodline was awakened."
"And then? What did you do?"
“I sensed that with each companion they devoured, their magic power would increase. I thought that if this continued, the Three Realms would be in turmoil, so I used all my primal power to erect a barrier to isolate them.”
Qin Luo hadn't expected this dark-skinned boy to have such a strong sense of righteousness, and her attitude softened slightly as a result.
"Is this why you almost died?"
As soon as she finished asking the question, Hei Wuhua immediately shook her head.
"No, although the source has been exhausted, the Chaos Land is still there. It will recover after a period of slumber."
"If that's the case, why did you turn into that half-dead look when I first met you?"
"Because I used my own spirit to trap the last surviving child, and then spent hundreds of thousands of years annihilating him."
"Hundreds of thousands of years? Is the Demon Lord's bloodline so difficult to kill?"
"What do you think? Ancient bloodlines are rare and domineering; you have no idea how much I've suffered..."
"So after you trapped it, you just kept it buried deep underground?"
"Yes, but I can sense everything that happens outside, including how the demons attacked the barrier but failed, so they used demonic energy to penetrate it until the God of the Universe sent a deity to guard it."
"Gods? Aren't they the wronged souls of those who committed grave crimes?"
Upon hearing this, Hei Wuhua gave a mocking smile.
"That was later. Before, various gods took turns guarding the area, but after they discovered that the demonic energy could erode magic and private domains, they came up with the idea of replacing them with serious criminals."
After listening, Qin Luo didn't know how to judge it.
Some gods are born gods, but must undergo tribulations before they can develop compassion for all living beings.
Some gods endured countless hardships, being struck by lightning time and time again, before finally ascending to heaven.
If this demonic energy were to cripple me completely in one fell swoop, who would I turn to for justice?
One can only say that they have some love for this so-called Three Realms, but not much.
"Do you know why the God of the Universe sent the Beastmen to guard this place?"
Hei Wuhua felt she needed to redefine her intelligence; she couldn't even understand something so simple.
Not at all like the wise woman she just displayed.
"The orcs have always been straightforward and honest, and while they possess high combat strength, they are more loyal and dutiful than any god. They are the most suitable to come here."
"Then why didn't we let them come before?"
"How could we just dump this mess on the beastmen when even the gods disliked it? Besides, nothing went wrong after those serious criminals took over the guard duties, but things changed later."
"What's different?"
"Some demons have already used their consciousness to control prisoners during battles to refine their souls."
Qin Luo had heard Hou Jiang mention soul refining before, but she didn't know its purpose.
Hei Wuhua noticed the confusion on her face and then gave an explanation.
"Souls are very useful. Once you have a certain number, you can not only revive others, but also benefit yourself. In short, they are of great use to the demon race."
His words made Qin Luo feel flustered.
