Chapter 1919 Ancient Stone Tablet
In order to ensure Viola's safety, she could not leave the temple in the castle no matter what she did. She had to eat and sleep in it, and even the curtains could not be opened.

This meeting was, of course, also held in the temple. Although the other demon kings could not see it, the statue of Li Chengxi was actually not far from Viola.

Oldie and Yang Yiyi followed the knight guard through the corridor and came to the hall of the castle. They saw Ivan pacing there repeatedly, looking very anxious.

"Olde! I'm here!"

When she saw Oldie coming, she hurried over. The surrounding knights and guards knew them and did not stop Ivan from entering.

"Why are you here? Didn't the letter a few days ago say that you were still digging at the site?"

"I came here because I found something very important at the excavation site."

Ivan was carrying a large backpack. As she spoke, she moved the backpack to the front and reached in to search hard.

She didn't notice at all that the surrounding knights and guards had quietly pointed their weapons at her. If Ivan took out anything suspicious, he would be pinned to the ground on the spot.

Ivan obviously didn't know that Viola was surrounded by enemies. Perhaps it was because of the scholars' ignorance of the world, she didn't notice the tense atmosphere in the castle at all.

"We discovered a very ancient relic not long ago. According to our latest research, it was likely to have existed before the Demon King disappeared. We were very lucky to find an extremely rare library inside the relic. We recently restored a lot of precious historical materials."

Ivan became visibly excited as he spoke, and his movements in his backpack became more and more violent...

Alde was speechless. That's it?

Are you just here to show off?

Olde's research direction is materials, which is not completely unrelated to Ivan's archaeology, but it is also irrelevant, and I can't understand her excitement.

"If you just want to talk about the latest research results, then forget it. You should have seen the floating island in the sky when you came here, right? I have a lot of things to do recently..."

"of course not!"

Ivan denied it, and finally, she pulled out an oversized rubbing paper from her bag. When unfolded, it was estimated to be more than one person tall and nearly two meters wide.

She opened the rubbing paper, pointed at the densely packed tadpole script on it and said:
"We copied this from the stone tablet in the secret room of the ruins. Look here."

Ivan pointed to one of the passages and said:

"It clearly states that humans tried to destroy the faith of the Demon God, so they were sealed by the Demon God on the other side of the Final Rift. The Demon God also disappeared completely shortly thereafter."

"This is not quite the same as the legend."

"Of course they are different. I guess the difference in the legends must have been intentionally distorted."

Seven Apostles, it must be these guys behind this.

"And I've also heard about what happened in Subia recently. Is there a possibility that humans have returned?"

Aulday stared at the rubbing paper in silence, while Ivan looked up at Yang Yiyi next to Aulday, as if he had just discovered this person.

And Yang Yiyi...

I could only give an awkward yet polite smile.

She didn't understand what the two of them said.

Ivan looked at Yang Yiyi with increasingly strange eyes, and then he jumped up as if he had been burned:

"Wait a minute, is the person next to you a human?"

The difference in appearance between humans and demons is actually not that big. If we have to say a difference, it is the hair color and the lack of horns on the head.

Originally, many demons had their horns degenerated, but due to the return of the Demon King, the demons' horns began to develop again, and now there are almost no demons without horns.

"She is a human, but she is different from the situation outside. She is a bodyguard sent by the Lord."

Alde just said it briefly without explaining it in detail to Ivan. Then she changed the subject to the rubbing paper:
"Besides this, what other information did you get?"

“A lot of them, all here.”

Ivan didn't even bother to investigate further. He immediately started rummaging through his backpack, pulling out a pile of parchments piled together in a mess. He said as he rummaged through them:

"I've always found the legends very strange. Why would the Demon King target humans?"

This is indeed a very strange point in the legend.

Legend has it that the Demon King sealed humans on the other side of the Final Rift. It's that simple, there is no cause or effect, so even if people have heard of this legend, they don't take it too seriously.

After all, the amount of information is too small.

But the amount of information is small, and it is the result of being revised bit by bit by the seven apostles over a long period of time. This actually has a complete cause and effect.

The Demon Realm is a plane created by the Demon God. The only mortal race living here is the demons.

Other races arrived here by chance through natural portals and later settled in the Demon Realm.

There is nothing wrong with this, but why are there no humans?
You know, humans are the most successful mortal race in the multiverse. No other race is like humans, with footprints in every corner of the multiverse.

And in terms of numbers, humans also make up the largest proportion of all mortal races.

Among the other races that came to the Demon Realm through the natural portal, there should be a lot of humans.

This is a very strange point.

Another explanation for this strange point is the legend that humans are sealed on the other side of the final rift.

No beginning or end.

Let’s talk about one question, why did the Demon God only seal humans and turn a blind eye to other non-demon races?
Are they worried that humans’ rapid reproduction rate will squeeze out the demons’ living space?
That doesn't make sense either.

The lifespan of halflings and demons is similar, both around 150 years, and compared to other mortal races, demons have no special racial talents except resistance to toxins and negative energy.

And in terms of reproductive ability, tieflings are similar to humans, and tieflings have a bad reputation.

There is no reason to target only humans.

"According to the information we have interpreted so far, thousands of years ago, the humans who fled to the Demonic Territory also brought some strange beliefs with them."

"How weird is that?"

"The stone tablet is vague, only saying that these humans worship the unknown darkness."

Then Ivan continued:
"These humans were very peaceful at first, and everyone got along well with each other. Some even joined the faith of the Demon King."

The demon territory is not big. If all the land is counted, it is only slightly larger than Australia. This is the currently known land area.

It is indeed possible that the population will squeeze the living space, but the problem is that there were fewer people thousands of years ago.

The Demon King must have been quite careless when he created this planet, and he didn't consider what would happen if there were more people in the future.

When other races came to the Demon Realm, they spent a fairly peaceful period of time.

"After that, humans began to unite with some demons who were dissatisfied with the Demon King to rebel. Look here, these words 'The rule of tyrants will end, and we will take back the glory that belongs to mortals' are almost exactly the same as the philosophy of the seven apostles you told me about."

Ivan went on:

"Afterwards, the stone tablet recorded that a fierce conflict broke out between those who rebelled against the Demon King and his followers. The sky began to tear apart, and dazzling light descended upon the earth. Countless human armies poured out from the cracks, attempting to invade our world."

Oldie looked up in astonishment, and Ivan looked into her eyes and said:
“This is almost exactly the same scene I saw when I arrived.”
