"What's this Demon's Land? Why have I never heard of you demons from this place in the Absolute Space Sea? Can someone explain this to me?"
Austin asked them.
"Sir, the demon race of our Demon's Land is not allowed to leave this place, no matter what. Maybe that's the reason why you've never met any of us out there,"
a demon who seemed to be one of their leaders said to Austin respectfully.
He could tell that the human in front of him was immensely powerful, so he addressed Austin as sir to show his respect for him. He didn't want to provoke him since they didn't know if they could handle him.
"Oh? Is that so?
But why?"
Austin asked him.
Ever since Austin entered the Absolute Space Sea, he had never encountered any demon on his way.
So, Austin assumed that the demon race only existed in the Sea of Chaos.
But now he just so happened to stumble upon the Demon's Land and found all these demons.
"To be honest, we don't know either, sir.
This is the rule that has been passed down from generation to generation. We didn't bother to question it since it had been like that way before our time.
But if you really want to know the answer to your question, you can ask our demon lords. The demon lords might know something about this,"
the demon replied.
"Oh? What's that?
A demon lord?
Tell me, what is a demon lord?"
Austin asked again.
"Our Demon's Land has twelve layers in total, and each layer has a designated demon lord.
The demon lord acts as the supreme ruler of each layer. So, naturally, the demon lords are powerful and knowledgeable. There are a lot of things that the demon lords know but we do not, so if you have any questions you probably should ask our demon lords,"
the demon explained.
"Huh, that's interesting. Do you know what these demon lords cultivation base are?"
Austin asked again.
If the demon lords that this demon was talking about were gods of chaos, then Austin could only turn around and run away. He was still no match for a god of chaos and he didn't want to risk encountering one again.
"The strength of our demon lords varies. Just like in any hierarchy, those at the higher layers are stronger and more powerful than those at the lower layers.
The demon lords of the first to sixth layers are all level-eight governing gods.
While the demon lords of the seventh to the twelfth layers are level-nine governing gods,"
the demon replied.
"I see."
Austin nodded. Since the demon lords were not gods of chaos, he decided that he could search and explore these layers.
"Are there any gods of chaos in the Demon's Land?"
Austin asked the question that concerned him most.
"Well, it's rumored that there is a demon ancestor in our Demon's Land.
And that demon ancestor is said to be a god of chaos.
However, no one has actually seen him ever.
So, we have no idea if there is really a demon ancestor in our Demon's Land.
Some say that the demon ancestor does not exist at all,
and that it's just a legend passed down to us from the ancient times,"
the demon explained.
"If that's the case, there's a chance that there is a god of chaos in the Demon's Land! Even if it's just a legend, we still have to consider it."
Both Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast were shocked at this information.
"I wonder if there are any fragments of the road of reincarnation in this Demon's Land.
We must find out as soon as possible. I suggest we search each layer carefully.
And if we don't find any fragments, we must leave right away. I don't want to risk encountering a god of chaos,"
the chaotic sky-devouring beast said.
"Okay, I'm with you.
Since there might be a god of chaos in this land, let's be careful.
But we don't have to be afraid.
If we're left with no choice, I can activate the teleportation rune and we can escape this place right away,"
Austin reassured him.
He withdrew his world of mind power, and then used his bodily movement skills and left with the chaotic sky-devouring beast.
"Oh, that was totally frightening. It's a relief that they finally left!"
The demons breathed a huge sigh of relief after Austin and the beast left.
Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast put too much pressure on them that they almost couldn't handle it.
"Let's report it to our superior right away.
Those two are not from our race. They must have broken in from the outside world,"
a demon said.
"Yes, the superior needs to know what happened here.
In my opinion, those two both looked very vicious. I'm afraid that they came here with bad intentions! We must stop them as soon as possible.
So, let's go now and report this matter,"
the other demons proposed one after the other.
