The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3332 God
"The clan leader is in seclusion, or rather, he is recuperating and recovering."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Is your clan leader injured?"

Tia replied, "At the last gathering of the Starry Sky Beasts in the ancestral land, the clan chief presided over the sacrificial ceremony, which consumed a great deal of energy. After the Starry Sky Beasts left after the meeting, the clan chief went into seclusion. It is said that this has always been the case before. He needs a long time to recover before he can fully recover."

Lin Chen nodded in realization, and Qingluan Immortal Lord asked, "What is the purpose of your rituals?"

Tia hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lin Chen, and then answered, "We perform a ritual to pray for blessings, drawing energy from the stars so that our people can absorb that energy and become stronger."

"Extracting energy from the stars?"

Immortal Lord Qingluan pressed further, "How is it extracted?"

Tia shook her head: "I don't know either. This should be a special ability of the Starry Sky Beast race. However, it is said that only a very small number of high-ranking Starry Sky Beasts can do it. Moreover, performing such a ritual consumes a lot of energy and requires a long time to recover."

Lin Chen didn't press further. After all, Tia had just returned and probably didn't know many things. Besides, there were some things he couldn't tell him, and if he did, he might be punished later.

If you have any questions, just ask the clan leader when you see him.

The two waited for several days and finally received the news.

The old patriarch of the Starry Sky Beast Clan has awakened from seclusion and agreed to meet with Lin Chen and Qingluan Immortal Lord.

The two were taken to a huge basin surrounded by towering mountains, and the basin was filled with thick white fog, so thick that one could not see their own hand in front of their face. The old clan chief was hiding under this white fog.

Tia led the two to a mountain peak at the edge of the white mist, where Nigur's massive body hovered in mid-air, watching them warily.

"Chief, they have arrived."

Nicol's voice pierced the sky, rolling through the basin and stirring up swirling eddies of white mist.

"Two guests from the Celestial Realm, how is your battle with the Abyss Demons going?"

An aged voice came from beneath the white mist, its weakness barely concealed.

Lin Chen replied, "The Abyss Demons used special methods to make the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm, which were originally not in the same spatial plane, overlap. During the war between the two realms, the Abyss Demons took advantage of the situation and conquered one world in each realm, making it their base."

"The saints of both the immortal and demon realms have put aside their previous prejudices and joined forces to fight the enemy. They have already fought several battles against the abyss demons. Although many people have died or been injured in both the immortal and demon realms, the abyss demons' pace of devouring and expanding has been effectively halted. They are currently in a stalemate."

The old patriarch's voice was filled with undisguised amazement: "The abyss demon devours whoever it discovers, and has never encountered an opponent. This time, it has actually been stopped. The realms of immortals and demons are indeed formidable!"

Lin Chen spoke up, saying, "We are fighting fiercely against the Abyss Demons. Although there have been back and forth battles, our warriors are made of flesh and blood, while the demon race is mass-produced after devouring life force. They are like inanimate expendable resources. If we fight for a long time, we will be at a great disadvantage."

"We have heard that the clan leader has a deep understanding of the Abyss Demons, so we have come to ask for your advice. We hope to obtain some useful information to help us defeat or even eliminate the Abyss Demons. Please tell us everything you know, clan leader."

After a long silence, the old patriarch finally spoke, "Actually, my knowledge is limited, and I don't know if it can be of any help to you..."

Limited knowledge?
Lin Chen felt a slight disappointment, but still spoke up, "Please speak, Clan Chief. Knowing more about the Abyss Demons will always be beneficial." The old Clan Chief slowly said, "The existence of the Abyss Demons is actually entirely due to that Lord of the Abyss..."

Lin Chen's spirits lifted. What they most wanted to find out when they came to inquire was information about the Lord of the Abyss, since he was the most powerful and mysterious one.

Previously, the Lord of the Abyss descended through a purple crystal pillar, silently injuring several saints and causing them to flee in disarray, filled with fear of this mysterious Lord of the Abyss.

"If my information is correct, the Lord of the Abyss is a forsaken person of the gods."

The Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord asked in a deep voice, "What is meant by 'the people abandoned by the gods,' and what do you mean by 'gods'?"

The old patriarch asked, "The strongest beings in your Immortal Realm right now are Saints, isn't that right?"

The Azure Phoenix Immortal nodded: "Yes."

The old patriarch said softly, "Above the saints are the gods. The gods possess boundless power, control the Great Dao, and are the rulers of the universe."

Lin Chen and Qingluan Immortal Lord both changed their expressions. From the words of the Enchantress Lord, they had vaguely deduced that there were even more powerful beings above the Saints, but this was only a guess. Now, however, this guess had been confirmed.

God!

The ruler of the universe!
Lin Chen took a deep breath and pressed on, "If the gods exist, where do they live?"

The old patriarch replied, "The place where the gods reside is said to be called the Celestial Realm. In the Celestial Realm lives the Celestial Race, which is said to be incredibly powerful. Even a newborn baby possesses divine power that even immortals cannot match, and the gods are the strongest among the Celestial Race."

The Azure Phoenix Immortal asked, "Where is the Celestial Realm?"

The old patriarch smiled wryly and said, "Our Starry Sky Beast Clan travels the entire universe and has seen all kinds of races. Some of us have even encountered the Celestial Race and obtained information about them, but we don't know where the Celestial Realm is."

Lin Chen and Qingluan Immortal Lord were both very disappointed. If they had known where the Celestial Realm was, they might have been able to venture out and explore it, and perhaps they would have obtained some incredible opportunity.

If they're lucky, they might be able to ask the gods for help, and the gods might intervene and wipe out the Abyss Clan.

Lin Chen returned to the previous topic: "You said the Lord of the Abyss is a forsaken person of the gods, which means that his identity is actually that of a member of the Celestial Race, but he was expelled from the Celestial Race for some reason?"

The old patriarch replied, "The Lord of the Abyss is not only a member of the Celestial Race, but was once a Celestial God. However, he committed a great mistake and was stripped of his divine body. His soul was cast into purgatory to suffer eternal torment as punishment. But during a cataclysmic event in which a galaxy shattered, he managed to escape."

"The Lord of the Abyss was filled with hostility towards the Celestials. He wanted to take revenge on them. However, without his divine body, he was no match for the Celestials with only his divine soul. But he was unwilling to give up. So he placed his divine soul in a black hole in the universe to hide himself and avoid being discovered by the Celestials."

"He used his control over the Great Dao to devour life force, then transformed it to create the Abyss Demon race. He then had the Abyss Demon race search for all races in the universe and devour them one by one. The more they devoured, the stronger the Abyss Demons became. As long as they kept devouring, they were entirely capable of evolving into gods."

"Once the abyssal demons he creates possess abilities comparable to those of the Celestials, he will unleash his vengeance..."
