Chapter 1548: Chapter 1408: Demon Fox Clan, Extinct Chapter 1548: Chapter 1408: Demon Fox Clan, Extinct “Whoo~~~”
Mo Ye hopped off Chu Mu’s shoulder and then also ran into the group of little demon foxes to join in on the excitement.
Mo Ye’s body was silver, and on his nine tails appeared faint flickers of furious purple fire, making him quite outstanding compared to those lower Species Ranking little demon foxes.
After Mo Ye approached, the little demon foxes stared at him like curious babies. They didn’t recognize Mo Ye and didn’t know from what race of demon fox he came from.
The Light King slowly opened his eyes and gazed at Mo Ye, looking eye to eye; a trace of emotion was visible in his indifferent eyes.
But a moment later, he closed his eyes again, ignoring Mo Ye’s intrusion.
Mo Ye was talking to the little demon foxes in the demon fox language, with the little demon foxes chirping non-stop, creating a whirlwind of confusion for Mo Ye.
It took Mo Ye quite a while to understand before he waved his claws at the little demon foxes and returned to Chu Mu’s shoulder, then relayed what he had learned to Chu Mu.
“What did they say?” Lin Mengling was very curious and hurriedly asked Chu Mu.
Chu Mu listened attentively to Mo Ye’s account.
“The little demon foxes said that they are all orphans; they don’t know where their parents have gone. They have always been taken care of by the Light King,” Chu Mu said.
“Why would the Light King take care of them if they don’t share any blood relation…” Lin Mengling continued.
“That, I don’t know. Those little demon foxes all consider the Light King as their elder, and this mountain is their dwelling place. The Light King never allows them to leave,” Chu Mu said.
“Woowoo~~~ ” Mo Ye voiced, indicating that some adult demon foxes had left before but they never returned…
Not returning meant death. Those demon foxes below Monarch bloodline, even as adults in Seal Valley, were extremely weak, completely incapable of protecting themselves.
“From the historical documents of Divine Sect, I saw that originally Seal Valley was the Territory of the Light King of the Seven Sins Fox, other high bloodline races such as Martial Cloud Dragon, Light Phoenix, and Immortal Bird were just residing dependently,” Lin Mengling said.
“That must be from tens of thousands of years ago. It’s possible for any race to experience a decline,” Xia Yin said.
Chu Mu glanced back at the huge Array of Light spread out over the ground, his mind deep in thought.
“Young Master, if the Light King once lived here and created a brilliant era, then during that glorious age, there must have been many other demon fox Sub-clans in this Seal Valley…”
“After the Seven Sins Fox was encumbered by fate’s chains, they were bound to decline. The downfall of the Seven Sins Fox would pave the way for other creatures to rise, and the Demon Fox Clan would no longer be the masters of this place…”
“The rise of any powerful Race invariably comes with brutal slaughter; high-blood Lord, Emperor, and Dominator level demon foxes like Heavenly Mountain Curse Fox, Flaming Nine-tailed Flame Fox, Flame Monarch, Rock Fox Emperor, and Water Fox Emperor were left unprotected and had to face immortal-level natural enemies, leading to their extinction being only a matter of time on this territory.”
“Once the demon foxes of Lord, Emperor, and Dominator levels are eliminated, the remaining Commanders, War Generals, and Servants-level Star Foxes, Three-tailed Foxes, Cloud Foxes, and Nine-Tailed Foxes are also essentially in a slow process of extinction…”
“Ten thousand years later, only these scattered low-ranking demon foxes remain, which is exactly the scene the Young Master sees now, a group of low-ranking demon foxes living with a high-bloodline Fox King…”
“In fact, how could they not live together? Essentially, only these demon foxes are left in the entire Seal Valley now,” Fox Elder sighed.
Race extinction!
Fox Elder had always been instilling the concept of race into Chu Mu.
Chu Mu had always thought such grand concepts of life were far from him, and his actions couldn’t possibly affect the fate of a race that had experienced tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years.
However, when Chu Mu saw a lonely Fox King living with a group of low-class demon fox orphans, a wave of inexplicable sorrow surged in his heart.
The scenario before him was heartwarming because it was like a lonely mother protecting these homeless children.
Yet, this scenario also signified the end of the road for the Demon Fox Clan!

.
For a race to survive in a territory, two key aspects are necessary. The first is to possess sufficient strength, and the second is to have strong survival capabilities.
Powerful strength makes enemies fear oneself, ensuring a place within this territory.
Strong survival capabilities entail having the ability to evade natural enemies and having a keen sense of danger. They may be weak, but they absolutely must have strong reproductive abilities and adapt to various environments.
In this era, the Light King was restrained by the chains of sin, its strength far from as formidable as in the past, and it probably wasn’t the strongest creature within Seal Valley.
Most importantly, the Light King had no followers around. If it were like the Light Phoenix, with countless Light Sparrows in the nest acting as guardians, it would be alright. However, the Light King was clearly solitary, and such a lonely Fox King could not support the survival of a race.
Following this trend, probably after a century or two, these demon foxes would also completely disappear from Seal Valley, because they simply cannot survive independently in Seal Valley.
“The decline of the highest bloodline sub-clan will also impact their associated sub-clans. What Young Master sees now is a most brutally realistic example…” Fox Elder slowly said, noticing that Chu Mu had understood the origin of the scene before him.
“This is just an independent space; the demon fox clan in our world shouldn’t be so tragic, right?” Chu Mu said.
Fox Elder nodded, “Netherworld is the representative of the demon fox clan and there has been the myth of Unreal Level. The demon fox clan in the Seal Valley world has declined due to the chains of the Light King of the Seven Sins Fox, but in the real world, the Netherworld Fox Sovereign has already led the demon fox clan to a peak moment.”
Hearing Fox Elder say this, Chu Mu’s mood somewhat eased.
Perhaps the story told in Monument Tears was the cause of the Seven Sins Fox. Hearing about the demon fox clan’s extinction in Seal Valley, Chu Mu even felt as if the demon fox clan across the entire world had nearly vanished entirely, and this inexplicable heaviness puzzled Chu Mu as well.
“Does the Heavenly Boundary Monument narrate the story of the Seven Sins Fox being sealed? If we solve the mystery of the Heavenly Boundary Monument, can we unlock the shackles of the Seven Sins Fox?” Chu Mu asked.
“Maybe, maybe not, I feel that the Heavenly Boundary Monument is meant to tell something to mankind, its nature should be like that of the World Monarch Tree, both for the survival of all creatures… It’s a pity that the last World Monarch Tree vanished, and it’s unknown what sort of existential threats the disappearance of the World Monarch Tree will bring,” Fox Elder shared his view.
“Are there going to be dangers?” Chu Mu asked, perplexed.
“Definitely, how the World Monarch Tree resembled a godly existence, it was a selfless gift to the realm of life, the survival of many ancient races was closely related to the World Monarch Tree. After the death of the World Monarch Tree, certainly many ancient races will go extinct along with it, and some evil races that were suppressed by the World Monarch Tree might rise, or perhaps the source of plague, the Plague King, could dominate the world… These things might not be apparent within a year or two, but after a hundred, a thousand years, such subtle accumulations could suddenly explode into a terrible disaster!” Fox Elder stated.
“Just like the Ancient Jiao people, these supremely powerful beings have been slumbering for so long, aren’t they also problems left over from that era?”
Chu Mu found Fox Elder’s words very reasonable, and also remembered what Ning Man’er had previously told him; often times, when one’s own strength was still weak, one only saw the surface of things. When standing at a certain height, looking down, one would realize many things are not as simple as they seem, everything is connected by cause and effect.
“Mo Ye, go ask the Light King if he is willing for me to take these little demon foxes away. This Seal Valley is no longer fitting for them; moving them to New Moon Land would be better, otherwise they can’t escape a fate of death,” Chu Mu said to Mo Ye on his shoulder.
Whether these little demon foxes signed a soul contract with humans or survived on their own in New Moon Land, it would be better than becoming food for other creatures in Seal Valley, although Chu Mu couldn’t guarantee that taking them to New Moon Land would ensure their survival, it was still better than certain death here.
Mo Ye nodded, then jumped in front of the Light King and woo-woo-woo spoke something to the Light King.
Finally, the Light King responded slightly, lifting its head and gazing at Chu Mu…
It was evident that the Light King deeply cared about these little demon foxes, escaping this terrible environment was more than welcome, but the Light King had no reason to trust a human…
Mo Ye continued talking to the Light King, while Lin Mengling and Xia Yin were puzzled as to why Chu Mu wanted to help these little demon foxes.
“I didn’t see that coming, you have this kindness,” Lin Mengling said.
“Yes.” Xia Yin also nodded.
Chu Mu had slain countless creatures, and many times his heart lacked the concept of compassion, but for some reason, seeing this warm yet contemplative and poignant scene, Chu Mu always felt he should do something.
Additionally, seeing them reminded him of Mo Ye back on Nightmare Demon Island, dwelled at the bottom rung of that environment; if he hadn’t taken it out, would it have perished during its time as the Moonlight Fox?
Chu Mu felt the same about himself; if he hadn’t met Mo Ye, would he have just sunk among the countless lives and disappeared without a trace…
