Divine beasts possessed a lot of Law Masters in the western continent and if they were to be united, conquering the continent wouldn't be impossible. At least, it was sure that they could make an enormous empire without problems.
"However, that wasn't like this in the past, and when I say past, I am referring to a lot of time before the invasion of the eastern continent. It is a story that I heard from my grandfather, and he had heard it from his ancestors, I think that you can imagine how old is this story."
It was as the chief was saying, the story he had heard was almost as old as the world and was related to the first inhabitants of the western continent. The lizardmen were among the oldest species in living on the western continent, so it was normal to have some old stories, although it was difficult to ensure which parts were true and which were false due to how old those stories were.
"There was once a divine beast with an extremely powerful bloodline, far more powerful than other divine beasts. That powerful bloodline could easily suppress the other divine beasts making that they followed orders obediently. The legend says that the bloodline of that beast was mutated and instead of giving him the capability of becoming a Law Master easily, it gave him the capability of becoming a Law God easily."
The lizardmen were already jealous that divine beasts had such an easy time to become Law Masters, but the fact that a divine beast could become a Law God easily was already something that they couldn't even imagine. After all, the lizardmen never had a Law God even in ancient times when the lizardmen were powerful.
"You can imagine how was the influence of divine beasts at that time, they were the strongest force of the continent, and everyone called the divine beast with that abnormal bloodline [Demon Lord]."
The two lizardmen could already imagine the continuation of the story, but they remained silent.
"In this world, it is impossible to a divine beast with less potential than that abnormal beast to be called Demon Lord by other beasts or all the divine beasts would try to kill that divine beast for such an insult to the original Demon Lord. If that divine beast that had beast subordinates that call him Demon Lord, probably his bloodline is also enough to turn him into a Law God in the future like in the legend."
The guess of the chief was spot on because Yale's bloodline was indeed enough to let him become a Law God, but it wasn't due to his divine beast bloodline, but due to the divine bloodlines, he had made in his past life.
All the beasts in the world had hidden within their bloodlines the instinct to call Demon Lord someone with a divine beast bloodline and a potential comparable or superior to that Demon Lord of the ancient era, and the wolves called Yale like that unconsciously because he met the requirements.
Of course, the story of the Demon Lord wasn't that short, but the chief lacked confidence in the veracity of the other parts, and they weren't relevant for their situation either.
"Chief, what happened with that Demon Lord?"
Given the words said by their chief, something should have happened to that Demon Lord, or there was no way it remained as an ancient story.
"Disappeared. There are a lot of rumors about what happened to the Demon Lord, but no one knows with certainty what happened to him. Some legends say that he died for offending a strong foe, others that he went to travel to another world, and others that he decided to follow a master and left the continent."
Even if the legend was from the ancient era, that Demon Lord should be alive if no one had killed him because natural death wasn't an option with his bloodline. Moreover, there wasn't any divine beast that wanted to believe that the Demon Lord abandoned them to follow someone else or to travel, so most divine bests believed that he died.
"How can someone that powerful chose to follow a master? How strong should be that master to do something like that?"
One of the lizardmen couldn't believe that the option of following a master was possible because it didn't make sense given how powerful was the Demon Lord.
"The legends that point that he followed a master usually also say that the master was the son of the expert who created this world. I believe that it is true that the Demon Lord followed him because that person really exists, and he was the one who stopped the invasion effortlessly and killed those who instigated it, like some of our most powerful ancestors. I was young, but I was alive more than thirty thousand years ago when that person appeared, and I don't feel that it isn't difficult that the Demon Lord would have chosen to follow someone like him."
The lizardmen hearing the chief froze when they heard that explanation because the legends about the man who stopped that war and provoked the decline of a lot of species in the western continent were well-known by everyone.
Of course, that man was Liye, and it was true that he took the Demon Lord as his disciple in the ancient era, when neither of them had become Law Masters due to being too young, and years later the Demon Lord traveled some time with Liye.
"Oh, I think that now I can remember that Demon Lord. It is quite funny that I obtained the title of my disciple. I wonder if he is alright or if he died with Zuatania's group…"
Yale had been spying them with his Spiritual Sense, and after hearing the story about the Demon Lord, he recovered some memories about him. The Demon Lord was a mutated Soul Eater Sun Lion, and he was also the divine beast who offered his bloodline to Liye to let him create the divine beast bloodline of Anpaes. Sadly, the inherited bloodline was degraded to that of a normal Soul Eater Lion, but it was quite a powerful divine beast even without the mutation.
