Chapter 1217: Chapter 1166–1167 Chapter 1217: Chapter 1166–1167 Age upon age, time flew swiftly.
For ordinary mortals, a century was a lifetime, but for cultivators who had embarked on the path of cultivation, a hundred years were but a flick of a finger.
Since the end of the Bloody Trial, more than a century had passed.
In these intervening years, many events had occurred between heaven and earth.
The originally tense war between the human race and the Demon Race had suddenly come to a halt. Both sides were searching for Innate Gods and Demons lurking within their ranks, clearing internal threats while also building up their battle strength in preparation for the ultimate conflict.
Every day, traces of Innate Gods and Demons were discovered; facing the strong from both the human race and the Demon Race, they either chose to compromise or to resist.
Not all Innate Gods and Demons were willing to compromise. As Overlords who once roamed freely in ancient times, even though the times had changed, the pride ingrained in their bones had not diminished.
After expressing their admiration for these beings, the powerhouses of the human race and the Demon Race decisively acted to suppress them without giving any chances.
The times had changed, ancient times were over, and the protagonists of the world now were either the human race or the Demon Race, but definitely not a group that had crawled out of the sands of time.
Junior Leader Pang Hong of Shenxiao, who had risen to the Strongest Realm and swept through The Heroes after the Bloody Trial, briefly rested at Shenxiao Mountain before taking his teacher's place on the battlefield, patrolling the world.
In the past century, Pang Hong's renown had grown so much that almost no one could surpass him; countless Innate Gods and Demons had been suppressed by him.
This young Heaven's Proud could now shoulder the glory of his own master, standing at the same level as many elder powerhouses.
Besides Little Thunder King, numerous other heavenly prouds emerged from various immortal sects, each carving out their paths.
In the beginning, many True Immortal Avatars had to descend, but after the completion of the Bloody Trial, the Supreme Overlords from both races emerged, capable enough to handle these matters themselves.
Unlike those more equitable and gentle True Immortals, these Supreme Overlords took a much more forceful and dominating stance when facing these returning Innate Gods and Demons.
Especially when dealing with Innate Gods and Demons that held powerful Laws related to their paths, these Supreme Overlords almost wished these Innate Gods and Demons resisted.
Because only through the resistance and non-compromise of these Innate Gods and Demons, did they have reason and excuse to suppress them, seize the Origin of Laws, take control of Authority, solidify their own foundations, and advance further on the Immortal Path.
Initially, many Supreme Overlords stood on the same level, all awaiting the moment of Enthroning Gods in the future, planning to leverage the fortune bestowed by heaven and earth to break through their shackles and step onto the Immortal Path.
However, the appearance of Divine Tree fruits entirely made the distinctions among these Supreme Overlords much clearer.
Those who had seized the Divine Tree fruits almost had their tickets to the Immortal Path in hand, merely waiting for the accumulation and deposition of time to finally open the grand doors to the Immortal Path.
Divine Tree fruits were too scarce; the competition wasn't just about strength but also luck during the Bloody Trial. This undoubtedly left some powerful Supreme Overlords, who missed seizing the Divine Tree fruits due to misfortune, upset.
Although luck is part of strength, how could they easily concede and give up?
Had it not been for the will of the True Immortals suppressing them after emerging from the lands of the Bloody Trial, it's possible some Supreme Overlords might have had other thoughts.
Of course, the news about these emerging Innate Gods and Demons also presented these powerhouses with other possibilities.
While they couldn't act against those beings, it didn't prevent them from making plans against these Innate Gods and Demons, perhaps they could find other gains.
“A hundred years of blood and storm, it's tragic how many Innate Gods and Demons have fallen. Who could have imagined that the Innate Gods and Demons, who once held supremacy in the ancient times, have come to this era only to become prey in the eyes of others…” lamented an Innate God-Devil who had reached an agreement with the human race.
Even though they weren't allies with those suppressed and slain Innate Gods and Demons, witnessing their once-fellow kin being hunted, their hearts couldn't help but feel the sorrow of seeing others suffer a similar fate.
In the ancient times, countless Innate Gods and Demons and Fierce Beasts fell in their battles; now in the present day, the number of Innate Gods and Demons who had truly managed to return was one in ten.
But the return of these Innate Gods and Demons didn't mean they were now safe; facing the threat from the human race and the Demon Race, if they couldn't gain acceptance from these two races, they would inevitably face severe repercussions.
“Hypocrisy, the era of Gods and Demons is over, now it's the True Immortals who dominate the heavens and the earth. Moreover, though they were all Gods and Demons, wasn't there frequent killing among them? To plunder the Origin Authority, the killings among Gods and Demons were not any less intense than these. It's simply the survival of the fittest!” a disdainful God-Devil spoke, unmoved.
Don't think of Innate Gods and Demons as something grand; they're beings too, and they also have their selfish motives and interests. For their own benefit, Gods and Demons will also kill each other, and their battles are even more brutal.
Although Innate Gods and Demons are also known as Gods and Demons, they are merely a broad term and not even a unified race, so there's hardly any room for such sentimental sorrow.
