Closing the ancient documents in his hands, Wen Yu squinted, uncertain of his thoughts.
This ancient document roughly recorded the history of the Demon Realm. Although it was extensive and had many damaged sections, Wen Yu had organized it and extracted a considerable amount of information—although it wasn't much help for the current plan, it was indeed a significant gain.
At the very least, Wen Yu now had a clearer understanding of the Demon Realm.
Everything changed due to something called the Heavenly Gifted Stone... this must undoubtedly be the source of the Exchange Stone Pillar.
In other words, the Exchange Stone Pillar and the practitioner system were not created by the sovereign, but were brought back from outside. This corroborated the previous conclusion by Bai that "the practitioner system and Exchange Stone Pillar are, in fact, another unknown existence that surpasses the sovereign and demon lord. It has no consciousness, no concept of good or evil, merely a super item, with the sovereign controlling most of its authority and the demon lord controlling a small part of it."
The two kings mentioned in the documents who changed the world and split Lirada in two… according to Wen Yu's speculation, they should be the sovereign and the demon lord.
The sovereign was defeated and fled from Lirada, while the demon lord, as the victor, had to face a devastated world after a great war.
However, following this logic… doesn't that mean the sovereign is also part of the demonic clan?
Wen Yu pondered for a long time before sighing. This possibility couldn't be ruled out. The sovereign seemed to provide counter-offensive capabilities to the invaded worlds, but that was one-sided. If he genuinely wanted to help these invaded worlds, why didn't he send those treasure land guardians to guard the Demon Realm Gate from the very beginning?
From the start, that old thing had never had good intentions!
However, the more he knew, the more questions arose. According to confidential document 4, the original Lirada People had long been extinguished, yet the current demonic clan remained vibrant. Reality did not match the documents, and the four plans mentioned in confidential document 1…
From the numbering and the names of the four plans, these plans were the root cause of everything happening now.
All of this stirred up a greater confusion within Wen Yu.
He sat in his chair, contemplating, until a few hours later, he finally stood up and returned the discarded documents to their original place—in a shabby box—before heading straight to another box.
Opening the box, a pile of tattered blueprints came into view.
"Demon Palace design and renovation outline..."
The previous document was merely an extra gain; it might even be the biggest harvest from this trip to the Demon Palace. However, the item before him was the focal point of this operation.
...
After putting all the documents into the Spatial Ring, Wen Yu greeted Tore and returned directly to his office.
Director Agu was undoubtedly a typical single dog and homebody. At several hundred years old, he still hadn’t settled down. The director's office in the ancient archives served as his residence—a simple bed and desk were enough for him.
Leisurely sitting at the desk, Wen Yu poured himself a glass of water before taking out the documents. He intended to look at the overall layout of the Demon Palace, but before he could open the documents, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
"Come in."
Wen Yu returned the documents to the Spatial Item and then spoke.
As the door was pushed open, a tall and strong ancient demon in a black uniform walked into Wen Yu's office.
The ancient demon emanated a strong sense of confidence, underpinned by his own power and status—a fearlessness that came from strength.
With a quick glance at the ancient demon, Wen Yu immediately deduced his strength—a level 10 limit breaker, with physical attributes exceeding at least ten million!
"Who are you?"
