Ch. 667 - Game Over
“Well, since I’m going to die anyway, can’t you at least tell me the truth?” Xu Zimo said with a bitter smile.
“You want to die knowing the truth?” Huangfu Xianyue laughed.
“Yes,” Xu Zimo nodded slightly.
“Fine, I’ll tell you, since you saved me back on Goddess Mountain,” Huangfu Xianyue said.
“There are countless races in this world, all living within the laws of the Dao. Among them, the most recognized and feared are the Demon Race and the God Race. During the era ruled by those two races, even humans had to step aside.”
“I know that much,” Xu Zimo nodded.
“Then have you heard of a race called the Heaven-Devourer Race?” Huangfu Xianyue asked with a smile.
“What’s that?” Xu Zimo shook his head.
“They’re a minor race. It’s normal that you’ve never heard of them,” Huangfu Xianyue said.
“There aren’t many of them, but their ability is terrifying. They can devour other races and make their powers their own. The only drawback is that they can only devour once in their lifetime. If they devour something powerful, that’s great. But if they devour something weaker than themselves, their entire future is ruined. So for them, choosing their target is extremely important.”
“I think I understand,” Xu Zimo narrowed his eyes. “The God Race and Demon Race are the strongest races in the world. So the Heaven-Devourer Race chooses to devour one of those two for their first and only devouring.”
He looked at Huangfu Xianyue and said, “You’re one of them.”
“Smart. During the God-Demon Era, there were plenty of targets. But in this era, not to mention purebloods, even remnants of those races are rare,” Huangfu Xianyue said.
“Do you know how lucky I was to find you? It’s a pity, you’re someone I would’ve liked to keep by my side if you weren’t of those two races.”
“You sensed my demonic energy at the First Eternal Shop, didn’t you?” Xu Zimo said.
“Yes. When I brought you into the World Sovereign Empyrean Sect, my plan was nearly complete.
