"The humans same him both as a demon and their savior. While the Spirit Beast saw him as the divine incarnation of the apocalypse and their executioner." Said Wu Yiyi before continuing to read.
With the help of the Demon King, humanity not only regains their sacred freedom but also their pride and confidence.
"The strange part is that in some of these texts, there are different accounts of what it means about the Demon King helping humanity." Said Wu Yiyi with a frustrated look.
In one account, it said that the Demon King stormed all of the holds of the Primordial Spirit Beast and slaughter them all by himself. While other accounts talk of him breaking all of the humans out and forcing them to fight the Spirit Beast themselves.
Some of the books even go into detail with the Demon King cursing out the humans and calling them cowards for cowering. While others tell of the Demon King reigniting the broken soul and spirit of their ancestors.
"Some even go on to say, that the Demon King was feared more than even the Spirit Beast." Said Wu Yiyi with confusion written all over her face.
This wasn't the first time she read over these texts and yet everything time she read them, it always perplexed her on their mysterious meaning. As some of these texts meaning and sentence that both co-exist and contradicts each other.
But of course, this was to be expected, as Wu Yiyi would have never thought that all of these texts and books on the Demon King were true. As it should be standard for the legend and truth of the Demon King to be distorted and changed over time.
But sometimes, it isn't always that way.
Whether if most of these texts were changed throughout the ages of time or mixed up didn't matter as one fact still remains. The Demon King was the one who started and ignited the flames that set off the rise of humanity.
"Strangely enough, the mention of the Demon King seems to become even more contradictory in further parts. As some say he fought with humanity till the end, while others said he disappeared and some even said he was just a shadow." Said Wu Yiyi as she gently moved through the countless texts before.
"Either way, they still built memorials and a shrine to remember him by. Where countless figures came to enthusiastically praise and remanence in his presence."
Wu Siduo didn't know what to say or think as she listens in on her mother's tale. If she didn't know Tang Wulin or if he hadn't told her a tale similar to what her mother was saying, she would have been skeptical.
But the problem was that the figure in ancient texts and books was too similar to Wulin. Even if one was to assume it was a different person with red eyes, and a golden spear. It still wouldn't excuse the fact that Wulin did tell her and everyone he traveled towards the past.
'While some of the events see out of place, taking a step back. It does seem similar to his story.' Thought Wu Siduo in shock as she glances at Tang Wulin who still had a look of indifference.
How could she not be shocked! Tang Wulin quite literally has a legend and recordings of him that went back billions if not millions of years.
It's not wrong to say, he was going against the common sense and realisticness of the world more than he usually does. While they did believe he really did go back to the past and did many of the stuff, he mentions.
They didn't know his legend would be written down and still remembered even till now. One has to understand that almost a billion years passed and yet the legend of the Demon King, Tang Wulin still remained!
Just how terrifying was this!
Not only that but his legend was about him essentially being the beginning of all Soul Masters! The one who push-starts humanity rises toward greatness!
"Funny enough, Spirit Masters in the ancient days began following the example of the Demon King with some of them even turning cold and indifferent. Hm, I wonder if this is where they got it from."Mused Wu Yiyi in a bit of amusement.
Wu Yiyi then continued on with some vague texts of their being a kingdom that formed between the ancient humans and the Spirit Beast. She mentioned that it wasn't all Spirit Beast that was cruel to humanity, with some of them even defending them.
"It was truly a kingdom of wonders and peace. It's said that with the help of these two races, the whole world was discovered and explored."Said Wu Yiyi with a delightful sigh.
Just how amazing was that? The ability and powers of two whole races putting away their differences and helping each other.
"How did the kingdom end?" Questioned Tang Wulin after a bit.
"I don't know." Said Wu Yiyi with a shrug of her shoulder and a look of helplessness.
Most of the books and texts scarcely tell some parts of the Primordial Era, with them being only about this era before she assumes the collapse.
"It's truly a wonder how such a civilization could collapse and be destroyed without even one recording or ancient text about it. It's, even more, sadder, that we can't find out how this came to be."
After the formation of the Kingdom and a few bits of information during that period. Everything after that was blank as if the eras after it was blank and billions of years went by in a flash.
"I wish I could find out about this before it's my time." Said Wu Yyiyi.
"Why is that mom?"
"It's because I don't wish for us to make the mistake and for such a terrible thing to happen again." Said Wu Yiyi causing Wu Siduo to furrow her brows before nodding after a while.
"Don't worry mom. I will help you find the truth." Said Wu Siduo with her hand's clench, causing Wu Yiyi to blink her eyes in surprise.
Before instantly becoming teary eyes and bringing Wu Siduo into a hug. Wu Siduo cried out to her mom but Wu Yiyi didn't listen and continue snuggling her daughter.
"Such a good daughter! Mommy doesn't deserve you!"
"Please let go!"
Tang Wulin once again ignore the Mother-Daugther Duo and reviewed the words of Mu Yiyi.
Whether it be from the tales of his actions in the past, the kingdom that was made by Wang Tang and the others or the forgotten history after the Kingdom.
All were something he wanted to know more about, it was as if something was slowly pushing and pleading for him to find out more.
He wouldn't pay much attention to this if it wasn't for his instinct and body feeling this way. Although he wasn't sure if this was really the case, as it would be wrong to say he wasn't intrigued about the people he met back then.
'I wonder...thought Tang Wulin with a bit of loneliness before sighing.
Shaking his head, Tang Wulin decide to put this off for later, as there were still things he wanted to know and asked about.
"Are there any more legends?" Questioned Tang Wulin towards Mu Yiyi and causing her to stop hugging Wu Siduo.
"Of course there are! Tell me something have you ever heard about the Nine Dragon Kings? The ones who were the sons of an ancient dragon that ruled the Dragon Clan." Said Mu Yiyi with her eyes sparkling.
To say she loved talking about all of these legends, whether they be myth or lost history would be an understatement. As one has to understand, there very few people in the world of Douluo that wanted to learn about ancient history.
If it wasn't Soul Technology, Cultivation or the Legendary Figures up till twenty thousand years then the people don't care. So it shouldn't be a surprise that Mu Yiyi was all too happy to continue talking about history, especially to her daughter's boyfriend.
'Nice catch, my sweet daughter.' Though Mu Yiyi while giving her daughter imaginary thumps up and hug.
This, of course, caused Wu Siduo to shiver slightly.
"Did you know that the ancient god had an extra son!" Said Wu Yiyi with her eyes sparkling causing Tang Wulin to raise a brow.
"I thought it was only nine?"
"Maybe it was? Or maybe the identity of the extra son was lost the current of time? Either way, the texts only say a little bit and nothing much." Said Wu Yiyi with a sigh.
She really wished that most of the texts didn't have most of their content cut off or burned. As it becomes increasingly frustrating and hopeless the more she dives into these books.
Yet nothing can be done as the fact that they survive for these untold amounts of years was a miracle in itself.
Tang Wulin, on the other hand, was surprised at this but didn't pay it any mind for now. He was planning to ask the Dragon Kings or treat it as a mistranslation.
'Depends on my mood.' Thought Tang Wulin before questioning Wu Yiyi on something else.
"Where exactly did you find these texts?"
"I and a bunch of others who were interesting in the mysterious of the past came together and formed a group. We would all travel the world, looking for any clues or rumors about these books but most of the time there are in old abandon ruins." Said Mu Yiyi and then her next words cause a bit of surprise in Tang Wulin.
"One of my college Zhao Jiu recently sent me a message about his discovery of another ancient ruin." Said Wu Yiyi while her body slightly trembled at the picture of her gaining another ancient text.
'Zhao Jiu?... It's has been a while.' Thought Tang Wulin as he began to recall that old man.
"You know him?" Sleipnir's voice rang out.
"Yea, we met him on the Everglades mountain." Zeref's voice rang out.
It was through his help, that Tang Wulin was able to find out the history and background of the Everglade Mountain. While also figuring out why he was sent there, with the true motive being them trying to temper and train him with the gravity.
It was also with his help, that he was able to be healed after his first fight with Kirin. It wouldn't be wrong to say, he slightly wonders how that old man was doing after he left.
'Well, it doesn't matter right now.' Thought Tang Wulin.

For the next week, Wu Siduo spent time with her mother Wu Yiyi. Tang Wulin stayed at the house and continued his training, while those duos bonded more with each other.
From what he learned and heard from Wu Siduo later, they visited all of the old spots that her mom used to take her. After that, they would visit other places of Lexion City, with her mom dragging her everywhere.
After the week had been up, Wu Siduo and Tang Wulin headed but to Shrek. But not before being tenderly hugged by Wu Yiyi, who told both of them to visit again soon. She also told them that she will keep them updated on her findings of the past.
