Chapter 2521: Final Day of the Banquet
"Contagious?" Yuan raised an eyebrow after hearing the question before quickly shaking his head.
"No, it is not possible for us to become demons simply by being near them. While it is true that demons were once human, they are not exactly the same as us. There are fundamental differences between our races, and the thing that turned them into demons could only affect them."
After a brief pause, he added, "Not only that, but I have consumed their blood directly, and it did not affect me. That being said, since I have a unique constitution, things might be different for others."
"Senior, you mentioned a realm above Cultivation God. Can you elaborate on that?! Have you seen their prowess? How much stronger are they?"
Yuan nodded and calmly replied, "Not only have I seen one, but I have even directly clashed against one. In the Demonic Realm, they have an entirely different cultivation system, and a Cultivation God is called a True God there. As for the realm above True God, that would be Absolute God."
"An Absolute God is incredibly powerful, so powerful that I wouldn’t be surprised if even a single one of them could completely destroy the Nine Heavens."
"A single one could destroy the Nine Heavens?! They’re that powerful?!"
The people gasped in shock after hearing this information, unsure how to feel about such a threat looming over their heads.
Many people turned to look at the entrance to the Demonic Realm that was not far away from the venue and swallowed nervously.
"How... how many of these Absolute Gods exist in the Demonic Realm?" someone suddenly asked in a nervous voice.
"Several," Yuan answered without hesitation.
The entire venue instantly fell silent.
The realization that multiple demons possessed strength capable of potentially ending their world left countless people speechless, their faces pale with shock.
"What’s with the gloom and doom?" Yuan suddenly said, "I have spoken with some of the strongest demons in the Demonic Realm, and they promised not to attack the Nine Heavens. Moreover, they despise the Forsaken just as much as us."
Some time later, the guests continued asking Yuan questions.
"Senior! Are you married? If not, what about a partner? Are you looking for one?"
"I am not married, but I am already committed to someone."
"Who is this lucky woman?!"
Yuan shook his head with a calm smile, refusing to go into detail.
"Let’s stay away from personal affairs."
Time passed, and after an entire day of answering questions from guests in the courtyard, Yuan went outside to speak with those who couldn’t enter the venue due to overcrowding.
The guests outside the venue were overjoyed and even somewhat grateful that Yuan had not ignored them.
As a result, they enthusiastically greeted him and eagerly engaged in conversation whenever given the opportunity.
As the days passed, people would leave the banquet, but even more would show up to witness the legendary Divine Paragon with their own eyes.
On the final day of the banquet, a certain individual approached Yuan.
"Hello, Senior Tian. My name is Xiang Biyu."
"What would you like to ask me, Lady Xiang?" Yuan greeted her with a calm expression.
"..."
Xiang Biyu did not respond, merely staring at his face with a dazed expression.
"Lady Xiang?" Yuan called out to her a moment later when she remained silent.
Xiang Biyu finally blinked and spoke, "This is not a question, but rather a request."
"When you have the time, would you visit me at the Divine Essence Monastery? There is something important I need to tell you."
"..."
The guests who were familiar with Xiang Biyu were instantly stunned by her words.
After all, the Divine Essence Monastery had strictly forbidden the presence of men ever since its creation. Yet here she was, openly inviting a man to visit the monastery in front of hundreds of thousands of people.
To many of them, this was just as shocking as some of the revelations Yuan had shared today.
"I will visit when I have time," Yuan calmly nodded after a moment of silence.
"Thank you."
Without saying anything else, she turned around and walked away.
However, Xiang Biyu stopped a few steps later when she realized that a certain someone wasn’t following behind her.
She turned around, and to her surprise, this individual was standing in front of the Divine Paragon, silently staring at him.
"Do you have a question for me?" Yuan asked the veiled figure standing before him.
Instead of answering, her hands slowly rose toward the veil covering her face, as though she intended to remove it and reveal her appearance to everyone present.
However, just as she began lifting the veil, Yuan suddenly looked away from her with a frown on his face, as did many people present.
"W-What is this presence?!"
Moments later, people began noticing countless silhouettes approaching from a distance.
Before long, tens of thousands of figures could be seen advancing from all directions, gradually surrounding the entire venue.
"D-Demons! Demons have appeared!"
The people exclaimed with shock and disbelief.
Yuan slowly ascended into the air, his expression calm as he faced the massive army of demons surrounding the venue.
"Quite bold of you to come here knowing that I am present," he said, his voice carrying clearly across the void.
The very next moment, a single figure emerged from the sea of demons and flew forward to confront him.
"Q-Qian Chu?!"
The Demon Sealers instantly recognized the individual and cried out in shock.
After all, the person leading this enormous force of demons was none other than Qian Chu—the former Clan Leader of the Demon Sealing Clan.
The sight of a man who had recently led the Demon Sealing Clan now appearing among the demons left them utterly stunned.
"Isn’t that Qian Chu, the previous Clan Leader of the Demon Sealing Clan?"
"I heard rumors that he had been working with the demons, but I never truly believed them... until now, that is..."
The guests stared at the scene with widened eyes, silently wondering what was happening.
