“Master, what is recorded on that Remembrance Monument?” Seeing Ye Chen like this, the Immortal Phoenix could not help but be curious.

In her heart, what kind of person was her master who was fearless in the face of danger and remained calm even when Mt. Tai collapsed in front of him? Why was he so shocked when he saw a Remembrance Monument?

“Let’s go back first. We’ll talk about it together later. I still need some time.” Ye Chen regained his senses. There was still shock in his eyes.

The Immortal Phoenix had never resisted Ye Chen’s words. Upon hearing this, it only nodded and said, “Alright.”

The human and the beast rested for a short while before returning to the tribe.

After returning to the tribe, Kun Peng was still devouring the corpses of the wild beasts. The Titan Ape was sitting not far away, using a tree branch to pick its teeth. If it did not have a body of hair, it would definitely be a rich kid enjoying life. Even Ye Chen was speechless when he saw this.

“All of you, come here. I have something to say. Demon Master, come here too.”

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, the Titan Ape first somersaulted and quickly arrived beside Ye Chen. The Kun Peng was originally devouring the ferocious beast’s corpse but it flew over with a dispirited expression when it heard this. It was obvious that its devouring to obtain memories was not going smoothly.

“Master, what’s the matter?” Kun Peng asked in confusion.

“Something big, something big…” Before Ye Chen could say anything, the Immortal Phoenix flapped its wings and told him about the situation in the Mystic Realm and Ye Chen’s abnormal behavior.

“Master, tell me quickly. I’m curious.” When the Titan Ape’s body enlarged, it looked imposing. However, after it shrunk, it was similar to a ape as it jumped up and down incessantly.

Ye Chen took a few deep breaths and looked at the beasts. Other than Little Purple, who was still in a coma, the rest had arrived. He thought for a while and organized his words. He sighed and said, “I didn’t expect us to be so weak…”

“Ye Chen”

When the Immortal Phoenix heard this again, the entire beast felt wrong. Ever since it saw the Remembrance Monument, Ye Chen had said this countless times. Now, it was a little immune to it.

These words sounded like a different story in the eyes of the other Divine Beasts. The Kun Peng Big Fish and the Great Roc’s forms alternated back and forth as if they were saying, ‘Since I was born until now, have I ever been defeated?’

As for the Titan Ape, it patted its chest and looked at Ye Chen proudly. It glanced at the corpses of the ferocious beasts that had not been devoured by the Kun Peng and spoke as if it was saying, “Look, when I first came out and stood here, I was afraid of all beasts. How am I weak?”

Only the Immortal Phoenix did not speak. It looked at Ye Chen speechlessly. It just wanted to know what Ye Chen saw that made him so distracted.

“We’re only in a corner of the wilderness. It can even be said to be a cage without a door.”

The beasts listened to Ye Chen and did not do anything else. They only looked at him quietly and let him continue.

“According to the Remembrance Monument, we are in the entire wilderness. We are a place where Gods and Devils are buried. Since ancient times, wild beasts that have reached a certain level of strength will feel that their lifespan has come to an end and will die here.”

“Until one day, a creature called the Ancient Giant Demon God also came to this place. However, when he passed away in a sitting position, he discovered something strange here.”

“Master, that’s not right. If it were those incomparably powerful creatures, their energy would return to the world after they passed away. Then, the energy in this world would be incomparably rich. Although I don’t know how the energy in other places is, it’s definitely not abundant here!”

The Titan Ape stood forward and retorted.

It was considered an anomaly among these Divine Beasts. It had already had its own consciousness countless years ago and the ancient races had instilled knowledge into it. It was considered a Divine Beast with broad knowledge.

Ye Chen clapped his hands and looked at the Titan Ape with bright eyes. “This is also what the Ancient Giant Demon God sensed!”

“According to the records, after he discovered the abnormality, he started exploring this place where the gods and devils were buried. He discovered that there were bold creatures who coveted this place!”

“The energy that these silent beasts fed to the world has been secretly taken away by them. This has been a burial ground for countless years. The energy they stole has long since reached a terrifying level that cannot be described with numbers.”

“After the Ancient Demon God discovered it, he was extremely furious. However, at that time, he was already about to die and did not have much strength left.”

“But what kind of existence is he? He’s an ancient giant Demon God, a powerhouse with the strength of a pseudo-Star-Grade. How could he let someone plot against him before he died? Then, he directly blocked the gate of this burial ground and assimilated with it, directly blocking other people’s retreat.”

“The problem that the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal mentioned just now also appeared here. Ever since the Ancient Demon God assimilated the door, no powerful creatures have entered this place. Naturally, the energy between Heaven and Earth has become much duller…”

Upon hearing this, all the beasts nodded. Even though they were only infants now, they still had the ability to think for themselves.

At the same time, they understood why there were no powerful wild beasts here. It was because there was no inheritance here, which was also the corresponding Body Tempering Art. It was all honed through time. Those levels were actually passed down by word of mouth according to some records.

In the end, the world he was in was a grave. However, this grave was a little special. Then, the entrance to the grave was blocked by the Ancient Giant Demon God.

“Then here’s the problem. Where did those people who nurtured Little Purple and me come from?” At this moment, the Titan Ape voiced its doubt.

According to Ye Chen, this was Burial Earth. There were no exits and no living beings. Then where did the people who nurtured him and Little Purple come from?

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen shook his head. That Remembrance Monument only recorded what happened during the Ancient Giant Demon God’s time. Who knew what happened after that?

“Master, what does the strength of that pseudo-Star-Grade mean?” Seeing that no one said anything, the Divine Phoenix asked.

The main thing was that he was affected by Ye Chen previously and said that he was too weak. Hearing that, the entire beast was not good. Hence, he was more sensitive to the strength in Ye Chen’s words just now.

“Sigh, we’re too weak.” Ye Chen sighed again and continued.

“I discovered on the Remembrance Monument that there was a specific division of strength in the outside world. Only then did I realize that I was originally the bottom person.”

Upon hearing this, the beasts were dumbfounded.. They looked at each other but did not say anything, waiting for Ye Chen to continue.
