Chapter 529 - 167: Evil! (6,800)_3
"Moreover, a friend of mine from the ’Evil-catching Division’ of the Immortal Platform once told me that the Immortal Platform is not very strict in controlling the acts of escaping the realm, and there’s another reason for it."
"What reason?"
"If you’ve committed a major crime, it takes time, manpower, and resources to capture and bring you to justice.
If you walk into the chaotic currents of the World Wall yourself, it’s 99.99% suicide.
It’s like a criminal going to send themselves to death quietly, without causing trouble, without damage, and even dying outside their own home, not dirtying their own place.
Why wouldn’t the Evil-catching Division be pleased with this?"
Chen Yan stayed silent.
After a long silence, Chen Yan sighed, "Tell me about the ’Seven Evil Tribes Bounty Order’, what’s that about?"
You Su Yi was taken aback, "Bounty order? I really haven’t heard of that."
Chen Yan was startled, then realized that when Golden Armor mentioned the ’Seven Evil Tribes Bounty Order’, he had unintentionally mentioned that it was issued a few years ago.
The old fox You Su Yi had left the Domain Realm for decades, naturally unaware of it.
"Hmm, I spoke wrongly, first tell me, what’s the Seven Evil Tribes about? Does it refer to the Fierce Beast Race?"
"No." You Su Yi shook his head, "The Fierce Beast Race is just the Fierce Beast Race, merely one of the Seven Evil Tribes.
The so-called Seven Evil Tribes refer to... seven traitor tribes that betrayed the Domain Realm and sided with the enemy. The Fierce Beast Race is just one of them."
Betrayed the Domain Realm?
Chen Yan looked at You Su Yi.
You Su Yi gradually explained, "The Seven Evil Tribes were once among the many tribes led by the Domain Immortal Platform.
However, during the ancient war of tens of thousands of years ago, these seven gradually defected to the enemy, betraying the Domain Immortal Platform. Not only did their tribes betray, but they even ceded their own territories.
The Immortal Platform, therefore, classified these seven traitor tribes as ’Evil Tribes’.
The tribe you mentioned, the Fierce Beast Race, was originally named the Beast Pasture Tribe, residing around the Broken Valley of the Divine Land Mountain of the Domain Realm’s Western Border.
This tribe inherited divine arts of tree pasturing, for generations living in the mountains and forests, thriving through tree cultivation.
Their inherited divine arts weren’t simply about planting or felling trees but could foster tree spirits, activate the spiritual essence of trees, and ultimately gather the spirits of ten thousand trees into a soul seed that, when planted, could cultivate a divine tree!
The Beast Pasture Tribe esteemed the divine trees they cultivated, a tribe would dwell around the divine tree, blessed by its protection.
In ancient times, in the prime of the Beast Pasture Tribe, under them were over a dozen tribes, each with a divine tree, residing in the Divine Land Mountain with a thriving population.
Under the divine tree’s protection, the Divine Land Mountain’s climate was pleasant, the weather favorable, resources abundant, and beasts flourished..."
Chen Yan’s eyelid twitched.
Pleasant climate?
Favorable weather?
Abundant resources, flourishing beasts?
Did I, perhaps, go to a fake Divine Land Mountain?
Oh right, it’s now called Evil Land Mountain.
Indeed, You Su Yi sighed lightly, "Later, the Beast Pasture Tribe betrayed the Immortal Platform, and the Divine Land Mountain was renamed Evil Land Mountain.
And the Beast Pasture Tribe was renamed by the Immortal Platform as the Fierce Beast Race."
Chen Yan lightly tapped his finger on the stone table, "Why did the Fierce Beast Race betray?"
You Su Yi shook his head, "I do not know the specific reasons; that tribe’s betrayal of the Immortal Platform happened thousands of years ago.
But generally speaking, it naturally related to the invasion of the ’Evil’."
Getting to the main topic!
Chen Yan perked up, took a deep breath, "Then tell me about the ’Evil’! What kind of race are they, and how are they able to create chaos within the Domain Realm and invade your territories?"
You Su Yi had a gloomy expression, shaking his head, "The Evil... are not a tribe within the Domain Realm."
"Huh?"
"In fact, even though wars have raged for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years, the Domain Realm still cannot ascertain where these Evils come from." You Su Yi bitterly smiled.
Chen Yan was stunned, "This... what does this mean?"
You Su Yi sighed, his expression complicated.
"Looking back now, I’m uncertain of the exact year when the Evil first appeared, after all, I’m not an official from the Immortal Platform managing the Immortal Record.
I only know that a very long time ago, perhaps long before in the northwest territories of the Domain Realm, a disaster suddenly occurred.
Three tribes of a tribe known as the Beast Shepherd Race were annihilated overnight, decimated without a single survivor, not even livestock.
The Immortal Platform, enraged, dispatched Great Cultivators to lead battle division Immortal Armies to investigate, ready to destroy any demon mischief with great force.
However, the cultivators and Immortal Armies sent there investigated for several days but found nothing.
The annihilated tribes, wholly dead, left not a single survivor, and according to the Great Cultivators’ examination, the souls of any fallen tribe members were also extracted.
The Immortal Platform had originally thought it was the work of some demon cultivator or a Great Demon causing trouble and placed a bounty, dispatching Great Cultivators to eliminate nearby demon cultivators and evil demons, killing quite a few—since the true culprit couldn’t be found, might as well root out everything! Slay a batch of evil demon cultivators, likely capturing the true culprit among them."
Chen Yan nodded, such an approach seemed reasonable enough.
"Afterward, the Immortal Platform proclaimed a decree announcing the end of the matter.
Yet unexpectedly a few years later, a similar event occurred in the Northern Border, with several tribes of a clan eradicated, humans and livestock lifeless!
The Immortal Platform sent Great Cultivators to investigate again, but just like the previous time, found nothing, hence once again implementing the previous method, sweeping cleanly within a thousand miles of the incident site, eradicating all demon paths and evil demons!"
Chen Yan slowly said, "I suppose the incidents didn’t just end there."
"Yes, after that incident, such occurrences happened periodically every few years across the Western Border, Northern Border, and Southern Border of the Domain Realm.
