I have a volume of human scriptures

As soon as he finished speaking...

The entire endless darkness was filled with a deathly silence.

The enormous dragon head of the Void Dragon Elder was frozen in mid-air, like a colossal statue, completely still.

It was only at this moment that the ancient Void Dragon realized what was happening.

—What exactly have these self-proclaimed hunters done over countless millennia?

The history of the hunters is difficult to trace, but as ancient beings who measure time like the sun, they remember it all very clearly.

Before a time span that cannot be described in terms of quantity, at the very beginning of the chaotic sea of ​​time and space, amidst the collision of time and space and countless coincidences, life called "world" was born.

And it was for this reason that, in the endless chaotic sea of ​​time and space, the existence of "life" was born for the first time.

It started as a vague "world embryo".

But as time went by, these embryos gradually evolved into the real world.

They possessed a clear mind and thought.

But as the saying goes, where there is soul and desire, there will be conflict.

Various conflicts arose between the many worlds for various reasons—although there was no distinction between the World Alliance faction and the Hunter faction at that time, the worlds were not peaceful.

The signs of fighting and killing for various reasons had been there for some time.

The Void Dragon Elder was one of them. At the beginning of the world, the personalities of the worlds were different. Some worlds were calm and stable, while others were warlike. The Void Dragon Elder was one of the more aggressive and combative types.

Shortly after his birth, he clashed with the same world, and a battle and slaughter broke out between the two sides.

From today's perspective, it was nothing more than a trivial battle. Neither side had evolved more than five times, which was not even worth mentioning in the chaotic sea of ​​that time.

But for the Void Dragon Elder, this was a turning point that could change his life forever.

After a bloody battle, the Ancient Dragon King achieved final victory, but this victory was by no means without a price.

He was suffering from unimaginable severe injuries and was almost on the verge of death.

But it was at this moment that the primal power of the shattered and floating world drifted to his side.

At that moment, it was as if a thirsty person trapped in the desert had found sweet dew; their mind was no longer capable of thinking, and they followed their instinctive desires, drinking heavily.

As he devoured the world's origin power of his own kind for the first time, the ancient Void Dragon felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and pleasure.

However, because his injuries were too severe, even after absorbing the remaining world origin power of his opponent, he was still teetering on the edge of life and death. He had not even recovered his ability to move on his own and could only drift like a rootless duckweed in the turbulent currents of time and space.

Fortunately, the world back then was far less complex than it is today, and danger was not as ubiquitous.

Therefore, during this period of uncontrollable time, the Void Dragon Elder did not encounter any danger.

Instead, in the endless torrent of the world, he encountered a world embryo.

In that instant, whether out of the will to survive or that primal desire, after struggling for a long time, the ancient Void Dragon exhausted its last bit of strength to shatter and devour it...

In that instant, the ancient Void Dragon felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Besides the sense of satisfaction, the world's primordial power from this world embryo also pulled him back from the brink of death, which had a completely different meaning for him.

—From then on, he became obsessed with the primordial power of the world's embryo, and he still is to this day.

Getting back to the main point, when they discovered that the power of the world's origin, which allows one to devour their own kind, could heal injuries and even accelerate their own evolution.

The ancient dragons discovered a "shortcut".

An evolutionary path that does not require struggling to survive in the storms of time and space.

That is, devouring one's own kind.

Then, on his endless journey of devouring, he met many companions—most of whom had no psychological burden about devouring their own kind.

Gradually, the hunter faction began to take shape.

Like hunters, they hunted down worlds in the endless chaotic sea of ​​time and space, growing stronger in the process.

Through relentless hunting and devouring, they distinguished themselves among the world's inhabitants and quickly amassed an immense power, becoming virtually invincible wherever they went.

But precisely because of this, those scattered worlds, upon realizing the existence of such a group of hunters, also banded together for mutual support, forming massive organizations and alliances to fight against their hunting and devouring.

This was the initial form of the World Alliance faction.

In short, from that time onward, the battle between the Hunters and the World Alliance continued for countless years without any pause or possibility of reconciliation.

until now.

This situation remains unchanged.

The only difference is that the forces of both sides have become increasingly powerful, almost encompassing the entire chaotic sea of ​​time and space, and the scale of the war they wage is even more terrifying, even creating several gold-digging battlefields for mutual slaughter and combat.

This is the origin of the Hunter faction, and also the origin of the Void Dragon Elders.

Before being reminded by the inner demon yellow bracelet before him, he had never realized that there was anything wrong with it.

In his view, for a hunter, devouring its own kind is simply a form of evolution.

There's nothing wrong with it.

If I had to explain, it's that he enjoys devouring the primordial power of world embryos, a feat that astounds even among hunters. That's why he usually only seeks world embryos in the border regions to avoid attracting attention.

but now……

When the Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet asked that question, the Void Dragon Ancient Elder's whole body suddenly trembled!
Realize what's happening!

Not bad.

It is indeed impossible to determine which side is truly right between the World Alliance and the Hunter's Alliance.

Or rather, in the endless, chaotic sea of ​​time and space, might makes right, might makes correctness. Neither the World Alliance nor the Hunter's Alliance could gain the upper hand, and the situation remained deadlocked.

But it's different now.

If all right and wrong could be judged by the will of a single being, it would be enough to overturn the entire order of the chaotic sea of ​​time and space.

And the "life" mentioned here refers to that chaotic being that is about to be revived!
—Although there are no direct signs that the being may be resurrected, the fleeting "chaotic power" has led almost all the ancients, including the inner demon Huangzhuo and the natural enemy, to believe that the great being is about to be resurrected.

After all, a lower-level life form can never control everything of a higher-level life form; this is an unchanging truth in the chaotic sea of ​​time and space.

The only thing capable of controlling the power of chaos is chaos itself.

But what would happen to the order of things in the vast ocean of time and space if this great being were to be resurrected?
“I am the enemy of that great being, and the great being behind me is his enemy.”

Looking at the Void Dragon Elder, who stood frozen in place like a statue, the Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet continued, "Therefore, from the moment of our birth, we have been on opposing sides and have an adversarial relationship. Naturally, we do not wish for him to be able to revive."

But do you really think that when that great being awakens and sees the current situation, He will become your and countless hunters' protector?

The Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet looked at the Void Dragon Elder with amusement: "In these long and endless years, the number of worlds devoured by you and your subordinates is probably beyond description, isn't it?"
The thick, ominous aura emanating from you and countless worlds, the mark that cannot be concealed after devouring one's own kind, is enough to prove that you and your hunters... are deeply sinful!

The last four words were spoken by the inner demon Huangzhu in an extremely threatening tone!
"The law of the jungle is the truth of the world, so how can there be any talk of heinous sins?!" The ancient Void Dragon Elder took a deep breath and retorted calmly and coldly.

But at that moment, the inner demon Huang Zhuo knew very well that the powerful ancient man in front of him had wavered. Otherwise, he would not have argued like this. He could have killed him completely with a single thought!

Therefore, at this moment, the inner demon Huang Zhuo felt even more confident!

He gazed at the ancient Void Dragon Elder and said, "—In this chaotic sea of ​​time and space, between the Hunters' camp and the World Alliance camp that you lead, regardless of right or wrong, merit or sin, my opinion doesn't count, and neither does yours."

The true standard of judgment still lies in the eyes of that great being, Chaos, who is about to be resurrected—what he deems good, is good; what he deems evil, is evil; what he deems worthy of existence, will certainly exist; but if… he deems something worthy of destruction…”

The inner demon, Huang Zhuo, narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the ancient Void Dragon Elder: "—Those that should be destroyed, then let them be destroyed!"

He paused, then added, "Whether it's an insignificant world embryo or the great you, in the eyes of that chaos—there is no difference."

The face of the ancient Void Dragon Elder had become extremely gloomy!

Although he and the inner demon Huang Zhuo are still enemies, his words did touch him—perhaps that's not quite the right way to put it, but at least they stirred something within him.

"Please think about it."

The inner demon, Huang Zhuo, continued to patiently guide her.

"Neither the great, chaotic being behind you, nor the one behind me, actually has the concept of death."

Even if they are reduced to ashes and nothing remains, it is only a temporary slumber for them.

So if that great being called Chaos were to awaken, it would be like a kind father who had been asleep all night, and upon waking, he would find that his offspring were not only not united, but were fighting and killing each other.

That's fine, after all, without his personal supervision, it's understandable that these things happened. The punishment he would probably be a minor one, nothing serious.

but……"

The voice of the Heart Demon Yellow Bracelet instantly turned sinister and eerie: "But what if, after he wakes up, he discovers that among these children he created, quite a few are killing each other and devouring their own kind in order to grow up faster!"

What do you think this loving yet strict father would do?

This is not a difficult question to answer.

It was nothing more than "putting righteousness before family, cleaning up the house, and setting things right."

This is the most likely possibility.

Even though the ancient Void Dragon had long anticipated this answer, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Because if that day truly comes, if that great chaotic being truly decides to clean house...

He and the ancients of the hunters' camp were the ones who were exterminated and their families were destroyed for the greater good.

—The Hunter's Alliance has countless hunters. Perhaps those hunters at the bottom might have a chance to be forgiven, but the seven ancient beings who led the hunters to devour their own kind over countless years will absolutely not have any chance of being forgiven!

In other words, if that chaotic being were to revive, and if he were to deeply abhor the act of devouring his own kind, then the first thing he would do upon his return would probably not be to confront that being in the forbidden zone.

Instead... wipe out the entire hunter faction!
To repel external threats, we must first secure internal stability!
At that moment, the ancient Void Dragon felt a... intense fear!

It didn't come from the inner demon yellow bracelet right in front of me, but rather... a possibility that no one can confirm or deny!

"Now, do you understand?"

The inner demon, Huang Zhuo, pressed on, saying, "—Once that ancient being called Chaos is revived, it is still unknown who will win our war against him."

But one thing is certain: both you and the entire hunter faction you lead are doomed.

That's why I said that preventing the resurrection of that great being called Chaos is... saving you!

"ridiculous!"

The ancient Void Dragon Elder feigned composure and said, "—How can you be so sure about the nature of that Chaos? How can you be so sure that he abhors the act of devouring his own kind? Perhaps his thoughts are the same as ours, advocating survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle!"

The inner demon Huangzhu looked at him and did not deny what he said. Instead, she nodded in agreement.

“You’re right. You can’t be sure of his behavior after he wakes up, and of course, neither can I.”

At this point, he suddenly changed his tone, staring intently at the enormous and terrifying dragon head before him, and asked in a low voice.

"But... are you willing to bet?"

In an instant, the expression on the face of the ancient Void Dragon Elder froze!

The endless, terrifying darkness trembled, like an endless, surging tide.

This is enough to prove that his heart is not at peace at this moment.

He wavered. (End of Chapter)
