Chapter 2387: Primal Gods, Ancient God of War, First Hearing of God Emperor

On the throne inside the Devil Palace sat a slender figure.

"My King, Monarch Chu is here."

The Succubus Archduke brought Chu Kuangren to the Devil King and bowed.

"Alright, you can go now."

"Yes, my King."

With that, the Succubus Archduke left the court.

The Devil King looked at Chu Kuangren and said, "You've recovered rather quickly. The Human Ancestor's body sure is astounding."

Judging from her tone, she was not surprised that Chu Kuangren acquired the Human Ancestor's body. Then, she pointed at a seat beside her throne and said, "Have a seat."

"Thank you."

Chu Kuangren skipped the courtesy and sat down. "I came as promised, so please tell me everything from the beginning."

"Rather telling you the story, why don't I show it to you?"

The Devil King pointed at his forehead.

The tip of her finger shone, and a sea of images appeared in Chu Kuangren's mind.

All the images and scenes were of battles that shook the universes.

It would be more fitting to call them wars instead of mere battles.

In the wars, Chu Kuangren saw something strange. There was a darkness that devoured all Daoist laws and plunged the Infiniverse into eternal darkness.

There were unparalleled elites that slashed the universe with a saber, dispelling the darkness.

There was the Infernal Dragon whose eyes opened and closed, representing the day and night. He was a master of time itself.

There was a beautiful lady who fought valiantly, channeling the power of thunder and gale to crush planets.

Amongst all those astounding beings, a particular person captured Chu Kuangren's attention.

It was a man in white robes. He had a crystal sword at his waist as he transformed into different shapes and sizes to overpower his opponents. No matter how strong his opponents were, he was able to slaughter them like pigs.

The man was fighting another person in dark golden robes and had a crown on his head. His emperor aura was like nothing Chu Kuangren had seen before. Just one glance at the emperor figure and Chu Kuangren could feel the pressure already. It felt like it could travel through time just to frighten those who laid eyes on him.

Such a powerful being, despite being only a fragment of the Devil King's memories, possessed unpredictable powers.

All the wars that happened were terrifying.

They almost crushed the Infiniverse.

Monarchs were nothing but expensive cannon fodders in the wars.

Only the Unlimited Great Dao could keep themselves alive.

The strongest Overlords could turn the tides around.

After a while, Chu Kuangren finally came back to his senses. He looked at the Devil King. "What wars were those? What are you guys fighting?"

"That would be Infinity War."

The Devil King further explained, "During the ancient Hongmeng era, the Great Hongmeng Universe wasn't as it is now, where it resets after a certain time. The reason why the universe resets is because it is broken."

Chu Kuangren's eyes widened in realization.

The Great Hongmeng Universe was the origin of the Infiniverse, so countless other universes were born from the Great Hongmeng Universe.

Yet, the Devil King said the Great Hongmeng Universe was broken?

"Is it because of Infinity War?"

"Yes."

The Devil King nodded. "During ancient times, back when the Great Hongmeng Universe was born, the three thousand Great Daos had yet to manifest or take from. It was the era of origins, and the Sources that everyone sought now were everywhere in that era.

"A group of Source Beings were also born in that era, such as the Void Ruler, the Primal Infernal Dragon, the God of Slaughter, Human Ancestor, Beast God, and more. They were all beings of that era, and they called themselves Primal Gods.

"They're the oldest beings of the Infiniverse. After that, as the Sources slowly faded and the three thousand Great Daos began to manifest, a number of Great Dao Beings were born. They were stronger than the current Monarchs but not as strong as the Primals, so they chose to obey the Gods.

"I am a Great Dao Being."

The Devil King yawned at Chu Kuangren and continued, "Devil Bone is my original name. I am actually a bone that has absorbed countless evil intent. In time, more and more beings were born, and the evil intents made me stronger. Even though I am a Great Dao Being, I can stand against the Primal Gods, making me one of the few Great Dao Beings who could rival them."

Primal Gods and Great Dao Beings.

Chu Kuangren pondered at the thought of the Primal Gods and Great Dao Beings.

It seemed like that era was filled with grandness and miracles.

The Devil King continued, "Many years later, the Great Hongmeng Universe stopped giving birth to beings, so the Primal Gods went silent after that. However, some of them started to be the creator of their own tribes.

"The human race, the Dragon Tribe, the Spatial Tribe, the Celestial Divine Tribe, the Soul Tribe, and more were all created then."

"The Primal Gods invested their love and feelings into the tribes they created, but as time went by, more and more tribes were born, and so did the negativity of living things. The Great Hongmeng Universe's resources were finite, but the Primal Gods' desire for creation was endless. So, a war broke out.

"It started from tribal wars and slowly escalated to wars between Gods. Then, a living being, who was created by one of the Gods, killed a God. That person possessed the potential to surpass the Gods, and it was then the Gods knew fear for the first time.

"Some of the Gods decided to wipe out the living beings they created and reset the universe back to its primal state, but the other Gods disagreed. As the argument continued, the scale of the war grew, and it slowly developed into the Infinity War," the Devil King explained.

Chu Kuangren was amazed by the story. "So you're telling me the Infinity War might happen again in the future?"

"That's right."

The Devil King nodded. "The Infinity War lasted for an entire era back then. Some of the Gods fell, some of them went into slumber, and some reincarnated. However, the Infinity War never ended. The Master of Destiny once said there would be a final era in the future that would put an end to this endless war. Now, this era will be the final era.

"Be it reincarnation or slumber, all the ancient Primal Gods are awakening. The Infinity War will happen again. It is a war across universes, and everyone is part of it."

The Devil King's expression turned grim.

Only then did Chu Kuangren realize the Devil King was eagerly raising elites and recruiting allies because she was preparing for the impending war.

"So, you, the Primal Infernal Dragon, and the Human Ancestor are on the side of protection, while the Doomsday Darkness, Void Ruler, and the others are on the side of destruction. They want to reset the world back to its primal state."

"That's right."

"May I know which side is stronger?"

"The destruction side is stronger. During the Infinity War, several powerhouses of the protection side, like the Primal Infernal Dragon, died while the Human Ancestor sacrificed himself to seal the God Emperor. As for the destruction side, aside from the others, the strongest one, the God Emperor, is still alive," the Devil King said.

"God Emperor..." Chu Kuangren murmured.

An image of the God Emperor, the strongest Primal God, appeared in Chu Kuangren's mind.

It was just the memories of the Devil King, but a peek at the God Emperor gave Chu Kuangren a terrible headache. It was as if a mountain fell on his head.

"The Human Ancestor gave up his life to seal the God Emperor, not kill him. Hehe! It seems like it's going to be a tough fight."
