“Did you kill my entire clan?” When Regas saw the Lord of the Jiang Family in the prison cell, he had already realized the situation.
However, the circumstances were beyond his control. Just as he felt powerless in front of the Lord of the Jiang Family, he felt the same way facing Wen Yu.
Wen Yu did not answer Regas's question directly; he simply pointed at the Lord of the Jiang Family and slowly spoke.
“He is not the Lord of the Jiang Family; he is the spirit of the demon lord.”
“Spirit of the demon lord? Tch, you don’t have to fabricate such a poor lie to deceive me.”
Regas's face was filled with disbelief, and Wen Yu knew that he could not prove anything with just a single sentence. He opened his palm, and as Creation Energy surged, a small light sphere formed in Wen Yu's hand.
“This contains all the information I’ve gathered about the spirit of the demon lord; you should take a look.”
After speaking, Wen Yu sent the small light sphere in front of Regas.
Regas hesitated for a moment but eventually swallowed the light sphere in one gulp.
...
Memories began to flicker. Within the selected memories from Wen Yu, there existed the history of the Demon Realm, the identity of the spirit of the demon lord, and the scene of the true Lord of the Jiang Family being taken over.
Regas digested the memories quickly. After a moment, he opened his eyes and slowly furrowed his brows.
“I guess you're not very familiar with the history of the Demon Realm or the existence of the Demon Palace, right?”
“No! I'm quite clear on these matters! This was the primary material I had to study after joining the highest seven-member council of the demonic clan… Of course, your version has some differences from what I’ve seen.”
Hearing Regas's response, Wen Yu raised an eyebrow.
He initially thought that Regas’s performance did not match the level of information he was presenting, but now it seemed that as a former commander of the demonic clan, Regas had some knowledge after all.
He countered, “What differences?”
“The history of the Demon Realm is not much different from what I know; that is true… As for the matter regarding the demon realm will.”
“The information I received stated that the demon realm will perished during the war of the twin kings, while in your information, the demon realm will became the spirit of the demon lord. That is the difference.”
“Not much of a difference, is it?”
Wen Yu said casually, and Regas simply nodded.
“The difference indeed isn’t significant. To some extent, it can prove that what you showed me should be true.”
Regas naturally had his doubts. Just based on this piece of potentially fabricated memory projection, it really couldn't prove anything. Wen Yu did not expect Regas to change his inner thoughts simply through a memory image.
In fact, his previous words might have been just a form of perfunctory response in the current situation.
This was merely a thorn... How to act would depend on Regas's own choices.
He could stir up huge waves in the Demon Realm!
Or perhaps... do nothing at all…
However, Wen Yu was already unconcerned about that.
He suddenly changed the topic.
“Actually, after seeing the history of the Demon Realm, I’ve always had a question. After the war of the twin kings, the demonic clan was actually extinguished, so how did you members of the demonic clan come about?”
Upon hearing Wen Yu's words, Regas instantly snapped out of his thoughts. He looked at Wen Yu, his face showing obvious distress.
“It's a secret, right? But it doesn’t matter. It’s just a trivial curiosity; whether you answer or not doesn’t really matter.”
This was the truth—though Wen Yu had doubts about the second origin of the demonic clan, it was not crucial.
It wouldn’t change the adversarial relationship between the demonic clan and Earth, nor would it change anything.
After a moment, perhaps Regas recognized the implications, he looked at Wen Yu and gave a response.
“The first batch of the new demonic clan was artificially created, a work of the demon lord. Feili was the first of the demonic clan to step out from the Demon Palace into the Demon Realm, and the rest are products of natural reproduction. That’s all I know.”
