Chapter 2449: Owen(2)

Yuan raised an eyebrow after hearing Owen’s words.

’He’s not aware that Dena left the Deprived Crimson Valley long ago? I guess he hasn’t returned to the Crimson Continent in a long time.’

’Since he doesn’t know anything... let’s try to extract as much information from him as possible.’

"Dena is in the Deprived Crimson Valley? Isn’t that place meant for Forsakens? Why would she be there?" Yuan asked with a puzzled face, acting ignorant of the whole situation and pretending like he’d just returned.

"You really don’t know?" Owen questioned with a suspicious look.

"Well, I just came back, and I am kind of lost, as I am still unfamiliar with this world. Fortunately, I ran into you by coincidence... or is this fate?"

’What a pain in the ass...’ Owen cursed inwardly.

Although he never had much interaction with Tian Chenyu, since he was always by Supreme Ruler Dena’s side, Owen had no choice but to spend several thousand years around Tian Chenyu, so he was familiar with Tian Chenyu’s character and how difficult he was in the past.

"So, what happened to Dena for her to be exiled to the Deprived Crimson Valley?" Yuan suddenly asked.

"There’s only one... or two reasons why anyone would be sent to that place. Either they’ve turned into Forsaken or committed a grave crime. In her case, she was sent there for both reasons."

"Dena turned into a Forsaken? That’s hard to believe." Yuan said with a frown. "And what kind of crime did she commit?"

"The worst kind of crime a Supreme Ruler could commit—the betrayal and murder of her own people. She killed everyone in the City of Blood after becoming a Forsaken."

"..."

Yuan fell silent for a moment before speaking again, "How long ago was this? If Dena killed everyone, why are you still alive? And what are you doing in the middle of nowhere?"

"This happened billions of years ago. I only survived because I was out on a mission when it happened..."

After a brief pause, Owen continued, "As for what I am doing here... that is none of your business."

"None of my business?" Yuan repeated as a cold feeling started oozing from his presence.

"Bold words for someone who was nearly beaten to death by me in the past," he said, referring to their first encounter.

Before Supreme Ruler Dena arrived to stop him during his massacre, it was Owen who had tried to stop him first.

Of course, Owen had been beaten to the brink of death by Tian Chenyu, forcing Supreme Ruler Dena to intervene.

Owen laughed out loud, "Don’t think you can scare me anymore, Tian Chenyu! I am no longer afraid of you! After Supreme Ruler Dena was exiled, I took her place and became the next Supreme Ruler! Not only that, but I have the backing of powerful beings that you cannot even begin to comprehend!"

Yuan raised an eyebrow and remarked, "Backing from a powerful being? Even though you are a Supreme Ruler? How does that make any sense at all? I thought Supreme Rulers are already the strongest beings in the Demonic Realm."

"Hahaha! This world... no, this universe is much larger than you can imagine! Being a Supreme Ruler may seem impressive at first, but they are nowhere near the peak! Just like you, I was a frog in a well until I was chosen!"
