The high priest's face looked strange when he heard this, "Well, that's just a lie to deceive the descendants of my demon clan. According to my grandfather's grandfather, when the statue of the demon god was originally erected, it was designed according to its image.
But later, the demon god felt that the statue was not well made and could not accurately depict its majestic image, so he cut off the head himself."
"This is the fault of our demon clan. The level of carving was too low and could not meet the requirements of the demon god, so the statue remained headless. Over time, the headless statue became the true image of the demon god and was passed down."
When Gu Chen heard this, he burst into laughter and murmured, "It's so similar."
The temperament of this demon god sounds very similar to that of the white ape.
"What happened next?" Gu Chen continued to ask.
"When our Nanling Demon Clan gradually became a phenomenon, one day the Demon God suddenly disappeared. At that time, the demon gods disappeared, and all the major demon tribes in Nanling were sad, but only my ancestors of the Ape Clan had already had a premonition."
"My ancestors speculated back then that the demon god had a special origin and most likely came from outside the sky, and that it came to Nanling and Kunlun Continent in search of something."
"What is that thing? Have you found the demon god?" Gu Chen asked curiously.
"According to the investigation of my ancestors of the ape tribe many years later, the thing that the demon god was looking for must have been lost in ancient times. The vast and involved war in ancient times has vague connections in the historical records of various regions in the mainland.
Searching, it seems that that war happened just because of searching for something."
"The demon god should be looking for the same thing, but I don't know if it overslept. When it wakes up, the war will be over long ago, and it will be the barbaric era, so it is destined to not find it."
Gu Chen was speechless after hearing this. This demon god is as unreliable as the little guy!
"The demon god's stay in my ape tribe was a temporary choice, so it is not surprising that it eventually left my ancestors."
"My ancestors originally thought that the demon god might have returned to his hometown, but since then, every once in a while, news of the birth of a white ape has been heard in various places."
"My ancestors were worried about the demon god, so they went to follow it, only to find that the demon god had returned to the way it was when it was a child, and knew nothing about my ancestors. I don't know whether it lost its memory again like when it first left the ancient land, or it was that
It’s not it at all, but its descendants.”
"Later, my ancestor died due to exhaustion of his lifespan, and the ape tribe grew stronger day by day. And every few eras, with careful attention, we can always hear the news of the birth of a white ape."
"And every time the white ape is born, no matter how many years have passed, it always looks like a young person, knowing nothing, as if it is the reincarnation of fate. It is as innocent as a piece of white paper. In order to protect it,
After discussion, the ancestors of my ape tribe completely blocked the information about it, and even used the headless statue to deliberately obscure the image of the demon god, so that people would not know that this strange white ape is related to the demon god."
"Over time, the only person in the entire Nanling who knows about the relationship between the White Ape and the Demon God is me, a bad old man. At most, there is Jin Ming. He once heard some legends about the White Ape and the Demon God from me."
Gu Chen suddenly realized that no wonder he had such a special attitude when he saw the white ape Sun Jinming at Zhenwu Academy. Later, when he broke through, in order to prevent the white ape from being injured, he led a group of monsters to protect him.
"High Priest, so to speak, is White Ape a demon god?"
Gu Chen couldn't help but ask.
The White Ape has many similarities with the Demon God, and it looks so familiar to the Demon God's ancient land.
But if it is a demon god, how can it be explained that it has remained so young for so many years and has no memory at all?
"To be honest, I have no clue about this. Not only me, but my ancestors have never understood it either."
The high priest looked at the white ape gently.
"Perhaps it is the demon god, and it is always in reincarnation for some special reasons; or maybe it is just a descendant of the demon god's descendants, with its memory inheritance in its head."
"But whatever its true identity is, you have to remember one thing."
The high priest's face became serious, "The white ape never approaches anyone easily, and is only slightly close to my ape family. However, it chose to follow you. This has never happened in countless eras.
."
Gu Chen looked shocked.
"So no matter what, since it has followed you, you should treat it well. It has been wandering around for so long and still refuses to return to our ape family. I really hope it has a happy home."
The high priest spoke with sincerity and sincerity.
"I see."
Gu Chen nodded and rubbed the little guy's hair. It turned out that there was such a story behind it.
Regardless of whether it is a demon god or a descendant of a demon god, since it has followed me, I will treat it like a family member, and this will never change.
Bai Yuan looked confused as he listened to the conversation between Gu Chen and the high priest. He seemed a little confused himself.
"Do the other Demon Saints already know about the relationship between White Ape and Demon God?"
Gu Chen said while chatting with the high priest.
Judging from the sudden softening of attitudes of those demon saints before, this is very possible.
"Well, I have already explained something to them, but they don't know much. In today's current situation, the Nanling Demon Clan needs unprecedented unity, and if you want to form an alliance with our Demon Clan, it will be much easier with the relationship of the Demon God.
."
The high priest said.
"Thank you so much to the high priest." Gu Chen said gratefully. It seems that the high priest has put in a lot of effort for things to go so smoothly.
"You don't need to be polite to me, I'm just thinking about my Nanling."
The eyes of the high priest became worried, "If Huangfu Wuji is allowed to conquer Nanling, countless demon clans will become human clan's magic weapons and elixirs. This is something the kind-hearted demon god absolutely does not want to see."
"Since White Ape is following you, it means that you are different from Huangfu Wuji. If you come to be the emperor of China, then there will be peace in the mainland. Maybe one day, all races can really live in peace."
The high priest sighed.
"Emperor of Middle-earth? The high priest has misunderstood. I have no such idea."
Gu Chen laughed dumbly. He had no interest in the so-called imperial power at all.
"If you really overthrow Huangfu Wuji's rule, you will always need someone to control the next situation. Times make heroes, and sometimes you yourself will have no choice."
The high priest said meaningfully.
Gu Chen couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Assuming that one day he could really overthrow Huangfu Wuji's rule, he really hadn't thought about what would happen next.
He was originally a person who devoted himself to cultivation, but he was forced by the current situation and walked so far without knowing it.
"Okay, let's go back to the tribe. It's time to talk to everyone about your specific plans."
The high priest smiled and Gu Chen nodded.
The Nanling Monster Clan has been taken care of. It is now the strongest force among the four major alien races in the mainland. With their support, his confidence has skyrocketed.
Only the Stone Clan and the Demon Clan are left, and the day is not far away when all the princes will besiege Huangfu Wuji!
