Chapter 3023: Chapter 3043: Giving Birth, Creating a Tribe’s First Mission!

"What brought you here? What’s your purpose?"

After Lu Sen and others left, the White-haired Elder’s gaze fell on Lin Chen, carefully scrutinizing him.

He couldn’t see through him!

Lin Chen seemed like a mist, completely enigmatic, eluding even the faintest of senses.

Lin Chen replied, "Senior, were you one of those people back then, or were you born in the Demon World?"

The White-haired Elder furrowed his brows: "I was one of them, but I’m not particularly talented, so I served here as a gatekeeper to make a living."

Lin Chen nodded: "Do you wish to return home?"

Home naturally referred to the Immortal Realm. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

The White-haired Elder responded: "We’ve attempted it."

His answer was short, but it clarified the situation.

They had attempted but obviously failed, and thus had no choice but to stay.

Lin Chen nodded: "Before, the Immortal Demon Channel was open only for a limited time, and during the entire process, the entrances and exits of the passage were swarmed by a huge number of demons, making it difficult for you to break through. I understand that. But now that the Immortal Demon Channel is permanent, returning should be much easier than before."

"Although the demons have still set up their main camp at the entrance, the flames of war have now spread throughout the entire Crimson Immortal Domain. Passing through the Immortal Demon Channel should be easier."

"I came here seeking a way back home."

"A way back home?"

A tinge of wistfulness appeared on the White-haired Elder’s face: "It’s been so long, I wonder how many still remember their own home..."

Lin Chen’s expression remained calm. These people were from the twenty-first Immortal Demon War, and it was now the twenty-eighth. Seven Immortal Demon Wars had passed in the interim, nearly twenty thousand years between them.

Twenty thousand years were enough to erode many memories, which would be replaced by new experiences and emotions, fading gradually, or even forgotten completely, leaving behind barely discernible traces.

"I heard that many have already established new families here, reproducing generation after generation, growing into vast clans?"

The White-haired Elder nodded: "Yes, after we escaped the battlefield, we originally planned to quickly gather intelligence on the entire demon race and then find an opportunity to return to the Immortal Realm. Unfortunately, we failed and were stranded in the Demon World."

"Each Immortal Demon War happens thousands of years apart, which means even in the best-case scenario, waiting for the next opening of the Immortal Demon Channel to return to the Immortal Realm would take several thousand years."

"We are soldiers of the War God Mansion, naturally longing to return. After discussion, we decided to find a place to hide. By chance, we got into a fight with a senior management member of the Great Wilderness Palace, who, after learning our identities, invited us to join."

"The Great Wilderness Palace is the only place in the Demon World that does not fear the Demon God Temple. We didn’t want to hide away like mice in a corner for thousands of years, so we accepted the invitation and joined the Great Wilderness Palace."

"Waiting for the next opening of the Immortal Demon Channel would take such a long time. What would we do?"

"After discussing among ourselves, we set a goal to secretly strike at the demons, rescuing captive humans; after all, every Immortal Demon War would result in immortals being captured and enslaved in the Demon World. We thought of saving as many as we could to take them with us the next time the channel opened."

"By the twenty-second Immortal War, we had rescued quite a few human captives and settled them all in the Great Wilderness Palace, for only this place could protect everyone."

"Waiting and waiting, we finally reached the twenty-second Immortal War, and all of us prepared to find a way back when the Immortal Demon Channel opened. Our plan was to hide inside a Magical Treasure and have a trustworthy demon bring us across the channel..."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened a notch. He had thought of that too.

From the tone of it, did they fail?

The White-haired Elder paused for a few seconds before continuing: "But we did not expect there to be a Magical Treasure in the camp at the channel entrance, capable of detecting people hidden within Magical Treasures. We walked right into the trap, unaware. Many died, and the rest barely escaped..."

Lin Chen was startled. Such a powerful Magical Treasure existed?

Able to detect people hiding in Magical Treasures?

Could his Qiqiao Hall and Linglong Tower block such detection?

"How powerful was the Magical Treasure you hid in at that time?"

The White-haired Elder understood the undertone in Lin Chen’s words—one questioning the effectiveness of their treasure.

The White-haired Elder glared at Lin Chen: "It could block all tracking senses, undetectable even by a Quasi-Saint, but that thing could still sense us..."

Lin Chen drew a sharp breath. That powerful?

It was fortunate he had come here first and learned of this. Otherwise, if he had thought of disguising a demon to sneak through, he might have fallen into the same trap they did, unknowing of how many would have been killed or injured—or potentially even facing total annihilation.

Lin Chen spoke softly, "So you all gave up on the idea of returning home?"

The White-haired Elder sighed: "It’s not that we didn’t want to return; it’s that we couldn’t. We made a few cautious attempts afterward, but none succeeded. In the end, everyone accepted it."

"If we couldn’t return to the Immortal Realm, what was our next goal? Everyone started to feel lost again."

"After a period of silence and decline, someone finally came up with a suggestion: if we can’t return, let us take root in the Demon World and multiply, building our own people!"

Lin Chen’s eyes widened, astounded.

Awesome!

The one who proposed this was amazing.

Unable to return, unwilling to be alone; we’d become the basis for a new Human Clan.

Truly, that was awesome!

A faint smile appeared on the White-haired Elder’s face: "This proposal was accepted by everyone. After all, we were too few in number. In the Demon World, we were the odd ones out, attracting strange looks everywhere!"

"The vast majority agreed to this proposition. And so, along with the previously rescued human captives, we began pairing up, marrying, and having children. At that time, how to have more children became the most important thing for our community."

"We birthed the first generation, and they married and had the second generation. Aside from those practicing special Cultivation Techniques, we set a rule: one must marry and have children upon reaching adulthood."

"War after war went by, generation after generation was born, and we gradually fulfilled our former plan. We created a new people."

"Since we lived within the influence of the Great Wilderness Palace for so long, where the demons were very accepting of the Human Clan, many humans and demons fell in love, got married, and multiplied."

A proud look appeared on the White-haired Elder’s face: "Though our power is minuscule compared to the entirety of the Demon World, we eventually had our own heritage, our own strength..."
