Chapter 455: Hestia’s Past
Inside the lotus building, Jiu Shen and Hestia sat opposite each other.
"So what happened?" Jiu Shen stared at Hestia with a calm look. He tried to recall if there was someone who had a similar personality to Hestia in his past life. However, no matter how hard he tried to think, he couldn't remember anyone with the same personality as her.
Hestia looked at Jiu Shen with sadness as she recounted everything.
Hestia was born in the Primordial God Realm as an angel. To be specific, she was of the Flame Angel Race, a race renowned for their battle prowess and strong flame manipulation abilities. The only problem about them was their low reproductive rate, so the Flame Angel Race only had about a little more than ten thousand members.
Hestia had a high rank among the Flame Angels since she was the daughter of the patriarch. She was supposed to live the life of a princess. Life should have been great for Hestia and the Flame Angels, but then, millions of demons suddenly invaded their territory!
The Flame Angels fought bravely, but they were outnumbered. Even their patriarch who was a Heavenly God Realm expert was killed in the battle! Hestia was also killed along with the other members of the Flame Angel Race!
Hestia's eyes turned red as she recalled all those scenes.
Jiu Shen stood up and patted her head gently. This girl's story was even more pitiful than his own. At least, he didn't have to grieve for someone because he died alone in the God Sealing Tower.
Jiu Shen didn't offer any words of sympathy. He just stood there and patted her head.
"Master, I want to avenge them! I know that the demons in this world are innocent, so I won't do anything against them, but the ones that killed my family, I want to kill all of them!" Hestia muttered with hatred. Her eyes burned with malice and rage.
Jiu Shen looked into her eyes and nodded his head. "Tell me who killed your family."
Hestia took a deep breath before she replied in a cold voice. "It's the Dark Devil Race! However, they were merely the pawns sent by someone! Before I was killed, I heard them mention that they were sent by Celestial Emperor Lao Gou to steal our Flame Angel Race's Celestial-rank heirloom, the God Sealing Tower!"
Jiu Shen frowned when he heard her words. He thought that the God Sealing Tower was made by Celestial Emperor Lao Gou, but it looks like the old codger stole it from the Flame Angel Race!
"Then we have a common enemy. That makes things easier." Jiu Shen revealed a malevolent look for a brief moment that made Hestia a bit scared.
"What do you mean, master?" Hestia couldn't help but ask.
Jiu Shen smiled coldly as he replied. "It's quite a long story, but that old bastard, Lao Gou, was the one who killed me..."
Hestia's eyes turned wide when she heard his words. So her master was also someone who had transmigrated? She finally knew why her master was hell-bent on creating the Heavenly Sword Tower. He was planning to get his revenge!
"Don't tell anyone about this. Only Theia and I know about this." Jiu Shen said in a stern voice. The others would only become anxious if they learned about this story. He wanted the Heavenly Sword Tower to grow as quietly as possible for the time being.
Hestia nodded her head in understanding. "Yes, master."
"Alright. Go back and help the others plan for the construction of the second sword tower." Jiu Shen patted her shoulder before he left.
***
News about the death of the Necromancer Emperor soon spread like wildfire. Everyone was stupefied when they heard how he was killed and they became warier about Jiu Shen, the man who killed the Necromancer Emperor!
The Great Demon Empire has also gained the support of many major powers after this and the Heavenly Sword Tower which was unknown in the Crimson Fiend Continent became a major topic. As for the reason, it's because this sect was created by Jiu Shen!
About a year later after the death of the Necromancer Emperor.
Jiu Shen stared at the sword tower that was constructed just a few months ago. This one was five times bigger than the first sword tower created in the Profound Dragon Continent. It took the effort of thousands of people to complete this in several months!
"Master, Vice Sect Master Theia has reached the peak stage of the Void God Realm and she just came out of the Spirit World!" Lu Sulan reported to her master.
In the past year, Jiu Shen promoted Theia as the Vice Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Tower. He also promoted a few promising disciples to become Elders. During that time, Jiu Shen also found a way to create another door that leads to his Spirit World. However, only a few selected members of the sword tower can come and go as they please.
"I see. You can go back. I'll meet her by myself." Jiu Shen smiled upon hearing the news.
Jiu Shen entered the sword tower. He went directly to the portal that leads to the Spirit World. Upon arriving, he saw Theia outside the portal, looking at him with a smile.
"Congratulations, Theia! You're now one step closer to the Mystic God Realm!" Jiu Shen gently smiled at her.
Theia rolled her eyes at him. She knew that this guy was just saying this to comfort her. After all, she was an early stage Heavenly God Realm expert in her past life and she was still a few realms away from that.
"How's everything going?" She asked.
Jiu Shen shrugged his shoulders. "Not too bad. The Heavenly Sword Tower has already cemented itself here and the demons are now less prejudiced against the humans. From the looks of it, that brat Cornelia was working hard.. How about we talk about that later?" Jiu Shen smiled at her with a knowing look.
