CHAPTER 659: Elder Supreme
Watching Zhao Hai and Billy leave the hall, the old man turned to look at the grand elder and Guy, letting out a long sigh, "Since I first received a letter from Clan Leader Billy about the divine race, I have been keeping an eye on Tree of Life City. I do not want this matter to be known by the church of light as it would be extremely unfavorable for dealing with the divine race. Therefore, during that period, I would take any incoming letters and check them."
Upon hearing Elder Supreme's words, the grand elder's face turned pale, and Guy's expression was also grim. They both knew the reason why, as they had sent letters to the church of light during that time.
Elder Supreme looked at the grand elder and Guy and said, "Although I have always believed that doing so was meaningless, the terrifying records about the divine race in our clan's history compelled me to proceed. However, I never expected to find a secret letter to the church of light among those communications. Although it was written in code, I could still discern it. I truly did not expect that there would be traitors within our spirit race."
At this point, Elder Supreme coldly stared at the grand elder and solemnly asked, "What has led you to betray the entire race and your own beliefs? Speak up."
The grand elder looked at Elder Supreme, fear flashing in her eyes, but this was quickly replaced by madness as she shouted, "The will of the gods is omnipresent. You people should all submit beneath the gods' light. To survive under the gods' rule is your honor. The gods are omnipotent and immensely powerful; they will lead us towards enlightenment."
Elder Supreme's face darkened as he waved his hand, sending a ray of light from his palm into the grand elder's body. She screamed in agony and collapsed to the ground.
Elder Supreme then turned to Guy, who also screamed and fell to the ground. Only then did Elder Supreme turn to the Lady King and say, "Lock them both up. I have stripped them of their cultivation levels." The Lady King nodded and quickly had the grand elder and Guy dragged away.
At this moment, the people in the hall looked nervously at Elder Supreme, who spoke in a deep voice, "Our spirit race has two parts to our clan's history: one is the part that everyone can see, and the other is only accessible to ninth-level experts. The latter records the details of the fierce battles in the past between the major races on the continent and the divine race. Our spirit race was a main force at that time, along with the orc clan and dwarf clan. The royal mermaid clan of the sea tribe participated as well, and some ninth-level experts of the human race also joined. However, many of those ninth-level human experts became subordinates of the divine race, and the dragon clan was also allied with them. The battle was incredibly brutal, and it was only through the divine artifacts of our spirit race, the orc race, and the dwarf race that we managed to injure the divine race's powerful beings, forcing them back to the God Realm. In that battle, our three races' divine artifacts were heavily wounded; the orc race's beast god spear was the most damaged, while the dwarf race's divine artifact was also severely hurt. Only our spirit race's spirit bow suffered the least damage, but it could only reveal the spirit for a short time. After the lord spirit of the artifact informed our spirit race's ancestors of the happenings in the God Realm, it fell into a deep slumber."
The spirit race members in the hall listened quietly to Elder Supreme's words, as many were unaware that there was, in fact, another part of their clan's history.
Elder Supreme looked at everyone and said, "As Mr. Zhao Hai mentioned, the gods worshipped by the church of light are in opposition to our gods. They sent people down to deal with us to control the entire Ark Continent, enslaving all races on this continent and raising us like livestock. Once our strength is sufficient, they will take us to the God Realm to join their ranks and fight against their enemies. Simply put, the divine race wants to turn the Ark Continent into their training camp for war slaves. This is precisely why all races on our continent have risen to resist the divine race. Mr. Zhao Hai is not wrong; our spirit race must ally with him to jointly confront the divine race."
