Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

It wasn't long before the bartender returned, carrying two jugs of fine wine, a set of cups, and several appetizers.

"Esteemed guest, this is your 【Desolation】 and 【Bloodthirst】, and these side dishes are complimentary from our establishment."

The bartender placed the wine and dishes on the table and said, "I wonder if you would like to sample 【Desolation】 or 【Bloodthirst】 first."

The bartender looked ready to pour the wine, awaiting his response.

"I'll do it myself."

Jun Wuxie picked up 【Desolation】 and slowly poured it into a cup.

The wine was the color of icy jade, like a divine nectar, exuding a faint fragrance.

This scent, entering his nostrils, had a slightly cool sensation.

The coolness traveled from his nose directly to his internal organs, penetrating his heart, making him feel as if a cold wind had blown into his heart.

"Sit down."

Jun Wuxie filled his cup, looking at the bartender with a gentle expression.

The bartender was somewhat flattered and quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, how dare I be so presumptuous as to sit with you, esteemed guest.

Esteemed guest, do you have any other instructions? If not, I shall take my leave."

"I simply wanted to inquire about the Immortal Remnant Land recruitment.

A large number of people in the city are heading to the recruitment location to participate.

The Ancient Tomb Family, why are they recruiting so many people? I'm a bit curious.

After all, I also joined their recruitment and received money and resources from them; the payment for the wine earlier came from the Ancient Tomb Family."

Upon hearing him inquire about the Immortal Remnant Land recruitment, the bartender was initially surprised, but when he heard him say that he had joined the Ancient Tomb Family's recruitment, his expression suddenly changed.

Jun Wuxie naturally noticed the bartender's expression, "What's wrong? Is there a problem? Why do you react this way when you hear that I joined the Ancient Tomb Family's recruitment?"

"Esteemed guest, do you really not know?"

The bartender looked at Jun Wuxie earnestly for a moment, then said, "In that case, esteemed guest, you are truly not from this city.

Esteemed guest, you are unfamiliar with our tavern's signature brew, and now you inquire about the Ancient Tomb Family's Immortal recruitment.

It seems that esteemed guest must be from a very distant region.

I've heard that in very remote places, there are occasional small towns where a small number of creatures from various races live, rarely coming to our city."

Jun Wuxie smiled faintly upon hearing this and said, "I didn't expect a bartender like you to know that there are towns in remote places.

That's right, you're correct; I am from a small town in a remote place.

I arrived in this city for the first time today and happened to see the Immortal recruitment, inquiring about the method from passersby; it is a recruitment held by the Ancient Tomb Family, one of the two major forces in this city.

I heard that the Ancient Tomb Family's recruitment rewards were generous, and I was tempted for a moment, so I joined their recruitment.

Now that I think about it, it seems inappropriate."

The bartender sighed upon hearing this and said, "I don't know what the Ancient Tomb Family will have the recruited cultivators do upon entering the Immortal Remnant Land.

However, I can say one thing for sure: the Ancient Tomb Family is recruiting so many people to deal with the Bloodthirst Alliance in the Immortal Remnant Land.

To be frank, esteemed guest, our tavern is located in the district managed by the Bloodthirst Alliance; otherwise, how would I dare to say a word to you like this even if I had a hundred guts?"

"Are you saying that the Ancient Tomb Family is recruiting us to deal with the Bloodthirst Alliance in the secret land?

Then why doesn't the Bloodthirst Alliance follow the example of the Ancient Tomb Family and recruit a large number of cultivators as well?"

"Esteemed guest, you are unaware; the Bloodthirst Alliance would not do such a thing.

If they did, then the Bloodthirst Alliance would no longer be the Bloodthirst Alliance.

The Bloodthirst Alliance would never sacrifice others for their own benefit."

Speaking of this, the bartender revealed a look of doubt, "Although esteemed guest was born in a remote small town, you are still in the same small world after all; haven't you ever heard of the Bloodthirst Alliance and the Ancient Tomb Family, and do you not know the origins of these two major forces?"

Jun Wuxie shook his head, indicating that where he lived was just a village, and a long time ago, there were knowledgeable experts who could leave.

Later, those experts met with accidents, and from then on, they declined, leaving only cultivation methods behind, and many things were thus cut off.

Since ancient times, only those who have achieved something in cultivation dare to cross the vast mountains and rivers to come to this city.

The bartender was stunned upon hearing this.

Born in a village, yet possessing such a temperament, it seems that his ancestors must have been extraordinary.

Although they declined for some reason, their aristocratic demeanor has not diminished.

"The origins and past deeds of the Ancient Tomb Family and the Bloodthirst Alliance are well-known to everyone in this city.

It is said that in a very distant era, when the world we lived in was not like this, but in the vast universe, that universe was called the God-Ancient World.

That era was very dark, with doomsday sweeping across the stars.

The Ancient Tomb Family was not a family at that time, but an organization composed of a large number of professionals who studied dark creatures.

They studied dark creatures for many years and came to the conclusion that darkness cannot be defeated and that darkness is not as terrible as the world thinks.

The ferocity of darkness is only directed at their enemies on the battlefield; as long as one does not become their enemy, the situation will be different.

They believed that continuing to resist darkness in an unbeatable situation would only increase casualties and was a meaningless death.

They raised the banner of peace, triggering an anti-war tide, affecting a large number of people, and causing great internal strife in that era.

The Bloodthirst Alliance was a group of passionate people who spontaneously formed to resist darkness in that era.

Later, the borderlands were breached by darkness, and a large number of dark creatures swept across the stars.

Those who held the banner of peace knelt at the feet of darkness, expressing their willingness to support the rule of darkness, hoping that darkness would give them a pure land to survive.

As a result, they suffered a ruthless massacre from darkness, and corpses littered the ground.

Whenever darkness passed through, except for creatures with relatively clever hiding methods or those who hid in special places, all others were slaughtered.

At that time, the dark creatures had a slogan: "Those who are not of our race must be slaughtered!"

Thus, those so-called experts who studied dark creatures were all like lost dogs, hiding in fear.

In the end, they took their families and hid in a large tomb in a desolate land, and this hiding lasted for tens of thousands of years.

When the doomsday torrent ended, the planet we lived on suddenly fell, forming the world as it is now, and those so-called experts came out of the tomb.

In those years, the world ridiculed them, calling them the Ancient Tomb Sect.

Those so-called experts could not even clear their name at this time, so they simply created a large family, and the name was called Ancient Tomb.

Therefore, the Ancient Tomb Family is very special; it is different from other families; the Ancient Tomb Family does not have a unified surname, but has many branches, each branch with a surname, which is a large combination of multi-surname families.

The Bloodthirst Alliance is composed of those passionate people and their descendants, and since ancient times, they have always adhered to their original intentions and beliefs."

When the bartender spoke of the Bloodthirst Alliance, his eyes were full of light, and one could feel the blood boiling in his body, and one could see his recognition and respect for the Bloodthirst Alliance in his eyes.

But when he spoke of the Ancient Tomb Family, the contempt in his words and expression was completely undisguised, and he disliked them very much.

"Esteemed guest, I only know this much; I don't know anything else."

The bartender stood up, bowed to Jun Wuxie, and left in a hurry.

He had been here for a long time and had to go to work.

"I have never heard of this matter when I was in the God-Ancient World."

Jun Wuxie searched his memory, but there was no memory information about this.

"The starry sky is vast; it should be something that happened in the deep space extremely far from our God-Moon Star Region; it is not surprising that we have not heard of it.

Due to the great distance, those things of the past were not spread, and were not known by the beings in the starry sky; later, that star region was slaughtered by darkness, and then fell into the living world in the great war.

For the God-Ancient World, the things that once happened in that star region can be regarded as a cut-off of information sources."

Yue Yao analyzed this matter in the Eight-Nine Profound Palace.

She knew much more about the things that happened in the God-Ancient World since ancient times than Jun Wuxie.

Of course, this refers to the things after the Immortal-Ancient Era; Jun Wuxie obviously knew more about the things before the Immortal-Ancient Era.

Regarding the Immortal-Ancient Era, Jun Wuxie learned some things through the Vermilion Bird and Ye Qingxue, as well as some secrets he explored over the years, which was much deeper than others.

Before the Immortal-Ancient Era, in the Beginning-less Era, who knew more than him?

Yue Yao was the daughter, pearl, and goddess of the God-Moon City, a guardian clan of the God-Ancient World.

The God-Moon City knew too many secrets about the God-Ancient World, and Yue Yao, as the goddess, of course knew much more than others.

But she had still never heard of the Ancient Tomb Family and the Bloodthirst Alliance, which could only mean that the star region where this super life ancient star was located was too far away from the God-Moon Star Region.

The God-Moon Star Region is basically located in the most central position of the God-Ancient World.

The most prosperous cultivation civilization of the God-Ancient World was mostly on the life ancient stars within tens of trillions of light-years of the God-Moon Star Region.

The life ancient stars beyond tens of trillions of light-years were relatively sparse, and because of the great distance, their connection with the center of the universe was relatively small.

The greater the distance, the less the connection, and many had not even had contact in the long years, so for the cultivation civilizations on those life ancient stars in the center of the universe, they had almost forgotten them.

"Some people resist darkness at all costs, even sacrificing their lives; some people do everything they can to create internal strife and help such a powerful enemy of darkness conquer the Bright Universe.

From ancient times to the present, such creatures, no matter which race they come from, have never been few in number."

Yue Yao sighed and said, "According to the statistics we in Divine Moon City have gathered through various verifications, in the torrent of doomsday, those cultivators who betray their own universe and help the darkness come from all races, but most are from the Human Race…

The upper limits of noble character are in the Human Race, and so are the lower limits.

The best people come from the Human Race, and so do the worst.

Such is the polarization, it has been like this since ancient times, and has never changed."

Jun Wuxie was silent, what Yue Yao said was true, indeed it was.

"I wonder what the situation is in the Divine Ancient World now, the dark invasion has already begun, how is the battle going on the borderlands?"

Jun Wuxie looked at the full glass of 【Desolation】in front of him, smelling the icy jade-like fragrance of the wine, a cool feeling, which made the scene of corpses strewn across the borderlands involuntarily appear in his mind.

He pondered for a moment, shook his head, and stopped thinking about it.

It's useless to think about it now, he hasn't finished the road of the Holy Spirit World yet, although it is very close to returning to the Divine Ancient World, it will still take some years.

He picked up the full glass of 【Desolation】in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
