Ancient Demon King had to resort to sophistry for the sake of gaining the treasure left by the Yue Qiu couple—by fair means or foul!
Until his death, what Yue Qiu guarded was a powerful, perfect God body, which was much stronger than Demon Ancient King's original Divine body. In the ancient past, this God body hadn't been sent into Gods' Ruins. The high-level fighters of Heaven Stairway were responsible for keeping it safe. When they gradually died out, the full weight of that responsibility fell to the warriors of the Soaring Dragon Continent.
As long as he could gain this perfect God body, Ancient Demon King would replace his present body with that one, and directly become a Divine Zhi Zun, becoming closer to a God.
Moreover, after obtaining this God body, he would no longer be far from seizing hold of the ancient relics inside Gods' Ruins.
Fourth Mother's sister, the only one person who had ever been insideGods' Ruins and survived, held the key to entering Gods' Ruins.
