All the domains came together and built an Evil Exterminating Team. The Evil Exterminating Team was divided into many smaller teams. After that, they were sent to hunt down the Evil-eyed Lions in various places.
Each squad would either have a few peak Rulers or at least one Exalted Ruler expert to ensure the safety of each squad as much as possible.
As the Star Domain's Eighth Star Lord, Ye Xiao naturally had to join the Evil Extinguishing Team. He didn't reject the offer. In any case, also wanted to get his hands on the Crystal Of Darkness as much as possible. After some experiments, he was able to absorb the energy from the Crystal Of Darkness. His cultivation increased by a lot by absorbing just one Crystal Of Darkness.
As far as Ye Xiao could guess, he could become an Exalted Ruler in just three to four years if he has the support of Crystal Of Darkness.
As for the law inside the Crystal Of Darkness, Ye Xiao didn't dare to comprehend it. It is because this was just a trace of broken law and this law was a lot like the law of Heavens. In this world or in the Great Star Continent, comprehending this law will do him more harm than good.
In the next three years, Ye Xiao hunted down countless Evil-eyed Lions. He soon became famous throughout the entire 12 Domains because of his doings. Although he was still a Ruler, he was recognized as the most powerful person under God. He had hunted down almost all the Exalted Ruler-level Evil-eyed Lions.
In these three years, because of the joint effort of all the domains and Ye Xiao's contributions where he alone had taken care of almost 90% of Exalted Ruler-level Evil-eyed Lions, almost all the Evil-eyed Lions were killed.
The 12 Domains regained their peace once again.
Ye Xiao's name spread so far that his name could be heard even in the unknown vast land.
Maybe, because the Gods and Ancient Gods heard Ye Xiao's names many times or maybe they guessed Ye Xiao was the outsider who entered their world more than twenty years ago, they sent an invitation for Ye Xiao to visit the Unknown Vast Land.
Ye Xiao had been waiting for exactly this opportunity. He gladly accepted the invitation. Since he was invited by the Gods and Ancient Gods themselves, it'll not be difficult for him to ask for some confidential truth about this world.
But he was not in a hurry to visit the Unknown Vast Land. He first went into seclusion once again in order to break through and become an Exalted Ruler. In these three years, he had hunted down more than fifty Exalted Ruler-level Evil-eyed Lions and more than a hundred peak Ruler-level Evil-eyed Lion.
Now, he had more than a hundred Crystal Of Darkness in his hands. With these things in his hand, it wouldn't take long for him to become an Exalted Ruler.
As expected, in just a year, he successfully became an Exalted Ruler. His fast cultivation shocked all the Star Lords. The speed at which Ye Xiao cultivated was more than a hundred times faster than them. It took the Great Star Lord thousands of years to advance from Ruler to Exalted Ruler. In comparison, Ye Xiao only took six years.
Ye Xiao didn't explain anything and let them imagine whatever they could imagine. After coming out of his seclusion, he said goodbye to all the Star Lords and started his journey to go to the Unknown Vast Land.
It took him more than a month to arrive at the Unknown Vast Land where he was welcomed by three gods. After seeing the invitation in his hand, they guided Ye Xiao inside the Unknown Vast Land and brought him to a God who was also their leader.
From that God, Ye Xiao came to know that Ancient Gods already know about him being an outsider. They were waiting for Ye Xiao for far too long. As soon as they hear about him, they sent an invitation.
That God brought Ye Xiao to a big and majestic palace. The seven Ancient Gods were currently discussing something very important inside this palace.
That God first sent the message about Ye Xiao's arrival to the seven Ancient Gods before bringing him inside.
.....
_Inside the Palace_
The seven Ancient Gods were sitting on throne-like chairs in the main hall. They had serious expressions on their faces as they were discussing something very important and consequential.
It was at this moment that they sensed someone's arrival and turned their heads in that direction.
Very soon, they saw Ye Xiao and a God arriving. Looking at Ye Xiao and sensing his aura, they immediately understood that Ye Xiao was an outsider. However, what shocked them the most was that Ye Xiao doesn't look like an outsider at all. More importantly, they could feel that the aura on Ye XIao's body was very similar to the aura they had once felt from the core of this world.
For a moment, they felt that Ye Xiao was not an outsider but a native to this world. This caused their face to turn puzzled as they don't know for a moment who Ye Xiao exactly is.
"Lord Ancient Gods, I've brought Ye Xiao here. I'll be going now!" Saying this, the God left while leaving Ye Xiao inside the palace.
Ye Xiao looked at the Ancient Gods' puzzled faces and smiled. When he met the Gods previously, he felt that they are the same as other martial artists in this world. Even though they are the gods, their strength was much weaker than even a Nine Mark Heavenly Divine Lord of the Divine Realm. It also meant that his previous guess was correct.
However, arriving in front of the Ancient Gods, this assumption of his was broken. These Ancient Gods were not like those gods, they were True Ancient Gods. Even in the Divine Realm, they'll not be any weaker than other Ancient Gods. This made Ye Xiao think what is the reason for these Ancient Gods being trapped inside the Golden Pearl for many eras?
Anyway, he was sure that he'll find the answer soon. Hence, he smiled at the Ancient Gods and greeted them.
The Ancient Gods first let Ye Xiao sit with them. Then they started introducing themselves. It turned out that these Seven Ancient Gods were all from seven different races. The only thing common among them was that they were the leader of their races, and their races were the most promising races among all other races in the Ancient Era, excluding the Ancient Race.
"Why is the aura on your body similar to the aura of the core of this world? It is like you are a native to this world." One of the Ancient Gods asked.
Another Ancient God nodded his head, adding another few questions: "And how did you come here? As far as I know, Ancient Samsara God sealed this world inside the World of Reincarnation that he had created, using his own Divine Domain as the catalyst as well as source."
The other Ancient Gods also nodded their heads. They wanted to hear the answer as well.
Ye Xiao didn't hide anything. He told them the truth. At the same time, he also told them about the Leader of the Sky Ghost Race and what he said before Ye Xiao broke the Golden Barrier and entered this world.
"That bastard Su Motang!"
One of the Ancient Gods cursed the Leader of the Sky Ghost Race. Then he took a deep breath and said: "Don't believe his nonsense. If not for him, how could the Ancient Samsara God have heavily injured brother Su Mutong and sealed him inside his Inner World? If not for Su Motang's betrayal, we wouldn't have been thrown into this world just to suffer for eternity and die under the claws of those five Evil-eyed Lions!"
After some more explanation from Ancient Gods, Ye Xiao understood that Su Motang was the current Leader of the Sky Ghost Race and Su Mutong was the patriarch of the Sky Ghost Race.
What Su Motang told him and others was all lie. He was in cahoots with Ancient Samsara God in the past and betrayed the Sky Ghost Race. He wanted to sit on the seat of Patriarch, and to achieve his dream, he didn't hesitate a single time before betraying the Sky Ghost Race and heavily injuring his own brother.
If not for Su Mutong risking his life and almost crippling Su Motang, who knows what kind of disaster Su Motang would have caused.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiao finally asked all the questions that were troubling him all this time: "Seniors, can you tell me the whole story. What exactly happened in the past. What is the story of Ancient Samsara God, the World of Reincarnation, and his Inner World? Also, he had already abandoned his Inner World and Divine Domain, doesn't it mean he should have become a cripple without any power. How come he still had the power to seal all of inside his Inner World?"
