After sealing away one of the demons, Yuan calmly asked the remaining two, "Do you know of the name Divine Paragon?"
"Divine who?"
The demons looked at him with raised eyebrows, appearing genuinely puzzled by the name.
"..."
’How long has passed since I came here as Tian Chenyu?’ Yuan wondered inwardly.
"What about the Demon Sealing Clan?" he continued to ask.
"Those bastards? They were annihilated many billions of years ago!"
Yuan’s eyes narrowed at this information.
"Who is the current Supreme Ruler?"
"That... we cannot tell you since the Supreme Ruler has changed several times, even before we were tossed into the Deprived Crimson Valley," said the demon.
"And we’ve been in here for at least a hundred million years."
Yuan pondered for a moment, trying to recall a certain name.
Then, he asked in a slow but clear voice, "Do you know of a demon named Dena?"
"D-Dena?"
The two demons’ expressions immediately twisted with surprise.
"Supreme Ruler Dena! Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in forever!" One of the demons laughed out loud.
"You’re lucky that you uttered that name while inside the Deprived Crimson Valley, you Sealer. Had you uttered that forbidden name outside of this place, you would’ve been slaughtered on sight," remarked the other demon.
Their words caused Yuan’s eyebrows to raise with puzzlement.
Supreme Ruler Dena was one of the most powerful demons in the Demonic Realm, who ruled more than half of this realm when he visited as Tian Chenyu. How did such a powerful being become a forbidden subject, to the point where just uttering it would be a death sentence?
"What happened to her?" Yuan then asked.
"Seriously, where did you come from to not know even common sen—"
The demon who just spoke quickly covered his mouth after realizing his mistake.
"W-Wait! That was by accident—"
Without hesitation, Yuan sealed the demon.
Now, there was just one demon left.
Yuan turned to look at him, who swallowed nervously before responding, "Supreme Ruler Dena suddenly went crazy one day and went on a rampage, burning many cities to the ground and killing countless innocent people. Because of her actions, she was branded as a ’Forsaken’ and exiled to the Deprived Crimson Valley."
"A Forsaken..." Yuan muttered.
It was a term he knew all too well. Only demons who had lost their reason—those unable to control their hunger and bloodlust—were given such a title. The Deprived Crimson Valley was where these Forsaken and criminals were exiled, abandoned, and left to be forgotten.
"So, Supreme Ruler Dena is currently in the Deprived Crimson Valley, huh?" he mumbled out loud to himself.
