Chapter 2288: The Heavens Want Us to Perish
The Rong clan’s experts replied, “The True Demon said that they wanted each of the clans to choose a saintess to represent their clans to offer up to the ancient Demon Deity. The saintess must be of direct bloodline of the respective clans. Not only do they need to have outstanding talent, they need to be beautiful as well. Otherwise, it would be a kind of blasphemy to the Demon Deity.”
Jiang Luofu frowned. “This sounds more like a practice from an evil sect.”
“What kind of thing is that Demon Deity?” Zu An frowned. This Demon Deity seemed to be up to no good somehow.
“The Demon Deity isn’t a thing…” The Rong clan’s cultivators’ expressions changed a bit. “No, no, the Demon Deity is an extraordinary being. The Demon Deity is a divine being that the entire Demon race worships and believes i; he’s not something that can be blasphemed against like this.”
“A divine being?” Zu An gave Yun Yuqing a look.
Yun Yuqing said with a frown, “Our Demon race does have a Demon Deity, and it is a divine being that all of the Demon race believes in. However, this legend is too mysterious. We don’t even know what the Demon Deity looks like, so it's more like a symbol. No one thinks that it's a real being.”
“You are from the Demon race after all!” Those Rong clan experts looked at her in horror. “You cannot say such things willfully and slander the Demon Deity! Once you die, not even your soul will be able to find rest.”
Zu An chuckled. “Don’t worry, that’s not something for that meddlesome Demon Deity to preside over.” That was his domain, after all.
Judging from what these people said, this Demon Deity was a bit similar to the Ocean Deity that the Ocean races worshiped, some kind guardian deity of legend. Even if there was such a divine being, that would have been in the distant past. After so much time, those deities would have all perished.
