[The Abyss is destined never to perish, and the demon race is destined to once more become the masters of this world!]

[He, in the boundless starry sky, chanced upon another nameless evil god. That evil god had roamed the cosmos in exile for endless ages, its divine power almost completely exhausted…]

[The Abyss defeated and devoured it, took control of yet another Supreme Authority, and transformed into an even mightier, more towering existence!]

[He created another intelligent race, the Starborn Spirits. In the name of the stars, He returned to the world with the resolve to take back everything that had been lost…]

[While the evil god Omniscient True Knowledge slept, it split off an avatar named Servant of Knowledge and ordered it to rule over the mortal world in its stead.]

[The Servant of Knowledge supported the lowly humans and the savage dragon race, letting them become the rulers of all living things and driving the demon race to the brink of extinction…]

[When the stars returned to this world, the chief of the evil gods and source of Disorder, Omniscient True Knowledge, had long since awakened, and under the rule of humans and dragons, the world had become unrecognizable…]

[With the descent of the stars, the flames of vengeance for the second God War swept across the entire world!]

[…]

[Yet the righteous path of vengeance is always full of hardship. Because the Authority of Omniscient True Knowledge was far too sinister and venomous, the evil god once again became the victor of the God Wars…]

[The Abyss fell, the stars dimmed, and all living beings once again bowed under the oppressive slavery of the terrifying evil god.]

[But how could the demons and the Starborn Spirits possibly submit? How could the Abyss and the stars simply fall here?]

[The Abyss is destined never to perish, and the demon race is destined to once more become the masters of this world!]

[You loudly read to this point and cannot help pausing, inwardly sighing that this mythic history is truly a saga of blood and tears. The Abyss, defeated again and again yet continuing to fight without rest, has a perseverance that commands respect.]

[On second thought, it might also be that the starry sky is boundless. After losing battle after battle, the Abyss perhaps wanted to flee and search for another world that had not yet been destroyed.]

[It is just a pity that the Abyss never found such a world and was forced in the end to return to this one.]

[Even with some mysterious power maintaining its protection, the stone stele beside you still cannot resist the erosion of the river of time.]

[This has caused the carved characters upon it to be of mixed age. The most weathered and eroded part is the first section, which is the passage about the first God War.]

[Next is the section about the Abyss wandering the starry sky, then returning to this world in the name of the stars and losing the second God War…]

[The third passage you are about to recount now appears relatively new, as if it has only been carved on recently. There are almost no traces of erosion.]

[You look around. Although the demon lords in the hall are already incomparably familiar with this history, they are still immersed in your impassioned narration.]

[Their expressions vary. Some are furious and unreconciled, some are dejected and low-spirited, but most are filled with fervent expectation and excitement.]

[It is as if what you are about to recount is the bright vision they have always longed for…]

[You take a deep breath and continue loudly recounting according to the text on the stele…]

[This time, after the Abyss was defeated, it abandoned all divinity and staked everything on one throw!]

[But this did not mean surrender and capitulation. It was so that it could undergo nirvanic rebirth, ultimately defeat the evil god, and take back everything!]

[The evil god Omniscient True Knowledge devoured yet another Supreme Authority and then fell into a long slumber to digest that Authority.]

[How could He know that, while He slept, the Abyss would ultimately be reborn and revived in another form.]

[When that time comes, no one will be able to obstruct the advance of the Abyss.]

[The Abyss is destined never to perish, because when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss is also gazing into you!]

[The demon race is also destined to once more become the masters of this world, because the Abyss Child is about to be born. He will annihilate Omniscient True Knowledge, replace Omniscient True Knowledge, and be reborn as the true Abyss!]

[Once you finish recounting the final passage on the stele, many demon lords below the altar cannot help but raise their arms high, shouting the sacred name of the Abyss Child.]

[But they have only cheered a few times before realizing that this so-called Abyss Child is merely a lowest-rank goat-horn demon.]

[He, no, it, how could it possibly kill Omniscient True Knowledge and lead the demons to become the masters of the world?]

[While you were narrating the history of the Abyss, quite a few of the demon lords had in fact already begun to believe that you are the Abyss Child.]

[They simply cannot accept that the Abyss Child’s strength is so weak and cannot bring themselves to believe that you can accomplish the final passage inscribed on the stele.]

[Many of the demon lords suddenly feel as if the heavens intend to exterminate them.]

[Why is the Abyss Child a lowest-rank goat-horn demon? With such meager strength, how is it supposed to slay Omniscient True Knowledge and be reborn as the Abyss?]

[You know that the historical speech you just gave was only a prelude. You must now do something that will make all the demons believe that you can save them.]

[You look around and shout that since they cannot accept the fact that you are the Abyss Child, you will prove it to them.]

[Among all the demon lords present, is there anyone who dares to step forward and challenge you with their life on the line in order to test your identity?]

[As soon as these words leave your mouth, an uproar breaks out not only beneath the altar, but even the demon shaman beside you turns pale.]

[The demon shaman is very close to you and can clearly sense how much power is contained in your body.]

[Although your power surpasses that of ordinary goat-horn demons by a good margin, you are still at the level of a low-ranking demon. Challenging a demigod-level demon lord is simply impossible!]

[The demon shaman hastily tries to dissuade you, saying that you, revered Abyss Child, are the only hope for the revival of the demon race and the only opportunity for the great Abyss to awaken once more.]

[The demon lords are merely unable, for the time being, to accept that your current strength is so low. The demon shaman believes that as long as you are given enough time to rise and grow, you will certainly become the true Abyss Child.]

[Some of the slightly more clear-headed demon lords beneath the altar agree with the demon shaman’s view, but many other demons hold a different opinion.]

[A short, thin demon suddenly speaks up, saying that it is willing to challenge the Abyss Child!]

[If this goat-horn demon really is the Abyss Child mentioned on the stele, capable of leading the demon race to become masters of the world, then there is no way it will lose to it, the Abyss Pain Demon.]

[If the Abyss Child cannot even defeat an ordinary demon lord, then asking it to defeat Omniscient True Knowledge is an utterly ridiculous joke!]

[The demon shaman immediately berates it in anger and tries to stop the Abyss Pain Demon, but many demon lords beneath the altar agree strongly with its proposal.]
