# Chapter 922: The Evil God's Secret History (Part 2)
"The Evil God and the Creation Gods were both the very first gods!? That is to say, the Evil God and the Creation Gods were actually gods of the same level!?" Yun Che exclaimed in astonishment.
"That's right. The Four Demon Emperors were the first demons, and also the most powerful demons. The Three Creation Gods and the Evil God were the first gods, and also the most powerful gods," the Golden Crow Soul Spirit said.
"The divine powers of the Three Creation Gods were each different. The foremost among the Three Creation Gods, the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor [Mo E], not only possessed the strongest divine power, but could also wield the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword. He was the most powerful existence among all gods. However, perhaps because the power of the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword was too great, it overdrew his lifespan. He became the first of the Three Creation Gods to fall, his divine origin scattering completely before the Great War between Gods and Demons even fully erupted. Still, it could be considered a natural death."
"As for the other two Creation Gods, one was named [Xi Ke], who held the Zhou Tian Pearl and possessed the supreme divine power to interfere with time. The other was named [Li Suo], who held the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal and possessed endless life and the divine power of life. The star realms and life she created were also the most numerous. As for the Evil God, what he possessed was the ultimate elemental power, the ability to control elemental forces while nearly ignoring the laws of Chaos. Later, he created the [Evil God Art], which shook the gods, making his divine power even stronger. By later times, rumors even spread in the God Realm that if the Evil God unleashed his full power, he might even be able to defeat the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor without him using the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword."
"..." Yun Che's mouth fell wide open again, groaning inwardly... Damn, the Evil God was actually such a formidable existence.
As he listened intently, Yun Che almost subconsciously asked: "Since the Three Creation Gods were the first gods, why didn't the Evil God also have the title of Creation God?"
"No, the Evil God was originally one of the Creation Gods. In the earliest era of the gods, including the Evil God, there were Four Creation Gods. When the Evil God was ranked among the Creation Gods, he used his divine power to create many lives and planets. The Lan Ji Star you are on now was the first planet he created."
"Eh? Then why..."
"This matter involves an even more complex ancient secret." The Golden Crow Soul Spirit's voice turned somewhat complicated. It fell silent for a brief moment, as if hesitating whether to tell Yun Che.
"This venerable one mentioned earlier that a rumor circulated in the God Realm that the Evil God could defeat the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor. Of course, this rumor did not appear without reason. That was because the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor and the Evil God indeed had a confrontation... After that, the Evil God changed his divine title to 'Evil God', no longer ranking among the Creation Gods. From then on, the Four Creation Gods became the Three Creation Gods... At the same time, the Four Demon Emperors of the Demon Clan also became the Three Demon Emperors."
"???" Yun Che listened with utter confusion. What was all this? Why did the Evil God fight the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor? And what did the Evil God's decision not to be a Creation God have to do with the number of Demon Emperors in the Demon Clan?
"This matter involves a divine art... a divine art originating from the Primordial Divine."
The Golden Crow Soul Spirit's tone changed, and its speaking speed almost uncontrollably slowed. Even when mentioning the supreme leader of the gods, the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor, its tone had remained calm. But when it mentioned this "divine art", its tone was like a mortal in awe of a god.
"A divine art of the... Primordial Divine?" Yun Che murmured in surprise.
"Legend has it that it was a profound technique created by the Primordial Divine over millions of years, so powerful that it was beyond the comprehension of mortals. Before the Primordial Divine dissipated, he was reluctant to let his millions of years of effort dissipate with him, yet also feared that this profound technique was too powerful, giving rise to power that would disrupt the balance of Chaos. Therefore, he shattered his divine art into three parts and scattered them to different corners of Chaos."
"The shattered divine art did not exist in the form of a soul imprint, but rather in the simplest and most direct form: text. However, the text used to inscribe the divine art was created by the Primordial Divine himself, a script later known as the 'Tai Chu Divine Script'. In the world, the only ones who could recognize this script were the Four Demon Emperors and the Four Creation Gods, who had inherited fragments of the Primordial Divine's memories. Naturally, they were also the first to know of the existence of this Primordial Divine art."
"Yun Che, do you know why the Divine Clan and the Demon Clan were so irreconcilably opposed?" The Golden Crow Soul Spirit suddenly asked.
Yun Che thought for a moment and said: "I heard from my master that the great war that led to the destruction of gods and demons arose from the struggle for the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword. Could it be that their initial enmity was due to the 'Primordial Divine Art' you just mentioned?"
The Golden Crow Soul Spirit said: "The Divine Clan and the Demon Clan were born at the same time, coexisting at the northern and southern poles of Chaos. Although their powers were different, yin and yang opposite, and they disliked each other with little interaction, they did not offend each other—at least, they were far from being hostile. Until the Demon Clan and the Divine Clan each found a fragment of the 'Primordial Divine Art'."
"Speaking of which... what was the name of that 'Primordial Divine Art'?" Yun Che couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked.
"This venerable one does not know. Perhaps even the Golden Crow God himself may not know," the Golden Crow Soul Spirit said slowly. "This 'Primordial Divine Art' was undoubtedly extremely attractive even to the Demon Emperors and the Creation Gods. To investigate the 'Primordial Divine Art', the Demon Emperor who obtained one fragment proposed to the Creation God who obtained another fragment that they combine the two fragments to study its secrets together. Although incomplete, combining two of the three fragments might be enough to get a glimpse. The Creation God readily agreed."
"The Creation God who obtained the fragment of the 'Primordial Divine Art' was the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor."
"Later, that Demon Emperor went to the Southern Chaos to find the Heaven-Slaying Demon Emperor to study the divine art together. The meeting place was agreed upon at the edge of Chaos, where no living being would disturb them. But after all, crossing Chaos and entering the territory of the Divine Clan, that Demon Emperor did not go alone. Not only did he bring the divine art, but he also brought nine hundred Demon Gods under his clan for protection... However, they did not expect to fall into a trap set by the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor."
"!!" Yun Che was startled: "Could it be... that the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor wanted to seize the divine art fragment from that Demon Emperor?"
"Correct."
Yun Che: "..."
"After that Demon Emperor revealed the divine art fragment, the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor did not simultaneously produce his own divine art fragment. Instead, he summoned the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword. In the fierce battle, he used the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword to blast open the Chaos Wall, exiling that Demon Emperor and all the Demon Gods he brought beyond Chaos."
Yun Che was dumbfounded: "The Heaven-Slaying God Emperor, as the emperor of all gods, was actually such a... despicable person."
"No," the Golden Crow Soul Spirit denied. "The Heaven-Slaying God Emperor was by no means a despicable person. On the contrary, he was overly righteous and hated evil. From the moment he was born, demons who used negative profound forces were evil existences in his eyes. He absolutely could not allow a divine art originating from the Primordial Divine to fall into the hands of demons."
"This..." Yun Che was speechless. Even if his heart was merely overly righteous, his actions were indeed extremely despicable, a clear case of breaking trust and hiding a blade.
"What is the Chaos Wall? And what does it mean to be exiled beyond Chaos? Does Chaos have an edge?"
"Although Chaos is vast, it ultimately has boundaries. Breaking through the Chaos Wall is extremely difficult, nearly impossible even for true gods. Beyond Chaos, legend says it is an eternal void. Once one falls beyond Chaos, they are exiled to a world of eternal nothingness, never to return."
"This incident ignited the wrath of all demons, and also greatly angered the Evil God when he learned of it. It was because of this that the Evil God fought a fierce battle with the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor. The outcome of that fierce battle is unknown to anyone. It was after this that the Evil God declared he was no longer a Creation God, and took the name 'Evil God'."
"Likewise, from that time onward, the gods and demons, who had basically had no dealings and did not interfere with each other, became utterly hostile, viewing each other as mortal enemies. The gods also developed an increasingly extreme rejection of the Dark Profound Force used by demons. After that, the Evil God's temperament changed drastically. He became solitary and reclusive, no longer concerning himself with the affairs of the God Realm, nor paying any attention to the conflicts between gods and demons. Later on, there were even very few gods who ever saw him appear."
"So, the 'divine art fragment' in the hands of that Demon Emperor fell into the possession of the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor?" Yun Che asked.
"No," unexpectedly, the Golden Crow Soul Spirit denied. "It seems it did not. The Heaven-Slaying God Emperor always only had one fragment. As for the divine art fragment from that Demon Emperor, there were rumors that it was exiled beyond Chaos along with them and disappeared forever, and other rumors that it fell into the hands of the Evil God—the rumor that the Evil God defeated the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor also originated from this."
"And until the destruction of all gods and all demons, the mysterious 'Primordial Divine Art' from the Primordial Divine was never made whole, and eventually scattered completely within Chaos with the end of the era of gods and demons. This was also the will of heaven. The possessions of the Primordial Divine, even true gods were unworthy to glimpse, yet they regrettably became the root of the true enmity between the two clans, and also the reason why a Creation God transformed into the Evil God."
"..."
"Regarding the past of the Evil God, this is all this venerable one knows. As for why he could control Dark Profound Force... this should have become an eternal mystery. Perhaps only the departed Evil God himself knows."
"..." Yun Che cupped his chin, his mind feeling as if floating among the clouds. After all, the information he obtained from the Golden Crow Soul Spirit today had no connection to his world, his experiences, or his knowledge. It felt like listening to a vague mythological tale.
But at least it let him know the Evil God's status in the era of the gods.
As for what he most wanted to know—why the Evil God could control Dark Profound Force—there was still no clear answer.
As for the other information, about the Primordial Divine, the Primordial Divine's divine art, the Chaos Wall, and such, he could only treat it as a mythological tale.
"Since the Evil God completely hid his possession of Dark Profound Force even in his era, it seems I also need to do the same and make Dark Profound Force a secret known only to myself," Yun Che said slowly.
The Evil God hid his Dark Profound Force probably because he didn't want to be regarded as a demon. He didn't want that either.
"..." The Golden Crow Soul Spirit did not respond.
"Golden Crow Soul Spirit, aside from matters about the Evil God, I have another question I'd like to ask," Yun Che looked up and said. "Do you know how to reach the Realm of the Gods?"
"When your profound force steps into the Divine Path, you will naturally be able to perceive the existence of higher-dimensional spaces. Once your Divine Path power is stable and you have the ability to survive in Chaos for long periods, you can leave Lan Ji Star and will eventually find the Realm of the Gods."
After the Golden Crow Soul Spirit finished speaking, it suddenly said: "Why do you want to go to the Realm of the Gods? Is it to pursue power at a higher level?"
Yun Che shook his head, then sighed softly: "I don't know if I should go."
"Hmph, I see." Yun Che's words made the Golden Crow Soul Spirit understand something: "When your master left, she must have told you that you must never go to the Realm of the Gods to find her. And yet, you very much want to see her again."
Yun Che nodded slightly, then nodded heavily.
"Hahahaha," the Golden Crow Soul Spirit laughed loudly. "If this venerable one were a Phoenix Soul Spirit, I would sternly dissuade you and not allow you to go to the Realm of the Gods. But I, however, must tell you one thing."
"?" Yun Che looked up in surprise.
"If you want to see your master again, reach the Realm of the Gods within five years! Otherwise, for this life, you will never see her again!"
