Tribal Sacred Mountain:
A dozen Demons surrounded a few enchained people with their mouths sealed. Sacred blue flames floated around this gathering, with one golden flame standing above an elevated podium and two people sitting on chairs. They observed the boisterous discussions.
"It was not my fault," yelled a middle-aged man with fangs wrapped in chains. He was the only one allowed to speak among the captives. "I couldn't resist the call of the mother."
"What about the other people who resisted Heavenly Dao's summon? Why can they resist, and you couldn't?" a demon with red eyes sneered.
"I-I don't know."
"These Primarchs have always been unreliable. We are not the temple, so I never liked that they were among us."
"That's not fair. Many of our fellow brothers choose that path since it's better than the Immortal and Dao Path."
"So what? We now have proof that if our sacred mountain ever has animosity toward Heavenly Dao, these people will not hesitate to betray us."
"Like I said, I couldn't control myself," the prisoner argued.
"That's even worse, as that means you're unreliable."
The prisoner gritted his teeth before saying: "I–"
"Enough!" The room immediately became quiet as everyone focused on the two Sacred Chiefs on their throne. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"What do you think?" Sacred Chief Heavenly Ape asked. He was a man with dangerous eyes, white hair, two large ears, four sharp teeth, and dressed loosely with only pants and a flowing robe that was not properly wrapped, showing his upper body full of tribal markings. To be exact, he had 43 scars/marks.
Heavenly Ape's story was interesting. He was from a powerful demon clan called the Saint Battle Ape. The Primarch Origin Temple annihilated the branch of his clan, so Heavenly Ape pretended to be an ordinary animal and hid in the mortal world. During that time, he was turned into a gladiator, forced to fight and kill other humans and animals.
Since that period of his life, Heavenly Ape had the habit of scaring or tattooing a mark on his body to represent worthy foes he had killed. And in his long journey of cultivation, including the defeat of the Innate Demon Gods, the Golden Era, the Two Origin Wars, and the Ultimate Taboo, only 43 individuals were worthy of being scarred on his body.
"I don't know," replied Sacred Chief Myriad Star Rabbit. She was a beautiful woman dressed in all white with star patterns on her cuffs, and luscious pink hair. Her rise to one of the two Primals of the demon race is even more legendary than her companion's because she was once a regular Rabbit demonic beast. She had no special bloodline, but she slowly crawled to the pinnacle of the demon race, even creating the Myriad Star Rabbit Clan.
"If we kill them, whether we like it or not, our strength will decrease. However, the recent event has revealed them to be unstable variables. The catastrophe is coming, and it seems Heavenly Dao has its hand on it. So, do we preserve our strength or remove this uncontrollable variable?" Sacred Chief Star Rabbit said.
"I ask you because I'm conflicted on the same issue," Heavenly Ape said.
"Then, let's ask someone who can help us see another side," Star Rabbit said before looking at someone who was remaining quiet on the side. "Fan Sui, what do you think?"
All eyes were on the Star Sage, but she remained calm and composed as she gathered her thoughts before speaking: "Chiefs, this may be an opportunity."
"Oh?" Their eyes lit up. Their sacred mountain has survived numerous trials and tribulations due to the Sage's wisdom. In fact, the two wanted her to participate in the ultimate taboo with them, but Fan Sui felt something was wrong and insisted on staying back to look out for the mountain.
"The entire world saw the betrayal of the Primarchs. So, we can ruin their reputation and brand them as traitors. We may need to kill our own, but the temple has the largest group of Primarchs. If the pressure of being traitors is applied at a sufficient level, they will have no choice but to eliminate their members.
"If they refuse, we can start gathering support from other Overlords to pressure them. The catastrophe is approaching, and no one wants such an unstable variable as them in their backdoor. After all, if Heavenly Dao can be corrupted once, it can happen a second time."
Heavenly Ape's eyes immediately squinted: "Your plan is intriguing, but there are also hidden problems. What if they bear the pressure and refuse to eliminate their Primarchs? We will have weakened our strength for no reason."
"Even if they resist, the pressure alone is enough to start internal fighting among them. Don't forget the temple's delicate situation between Emperors and Primarchs," Star Sage Fan Sui replied calmly.
"True," Star Rabbit nodded. Ancient Heaven Primarchs created the Primarch Origin Temple. But over the years, the Emperor Path has become mainstream, and the two current Temple Lords are Paragons. Despite the Emperor Path being the controllers of the temple, the Primarchs have plenty of power, which is why the temple is still named after them.
