"Th-this is the O-Overlord Stele..."
The Spirit Race Ancestor was utterly stunned when he saw the stele, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Weren't the ones we obtained the Overlord Steles?"
Clearly, the Spirit Race Ancestor had also been kept in the dark, unaware that this was the true Overlord Stele. Many had never walked the path to becoming Spirit King, so they knew nothing of what it entailed. After all, the only living former Spirit King was the Spirit Race Ancestor himself. The next in line was supposed to have been Thundercloud, but he not only failed to meet the requirements, he also turned traitor.
Therefore, the Spirit Race Ancestor was the only one among them who had completed the trial. Although Ye Qingxuan was the Saintess, she could not become the Spirit King; once one became the Saintess, the path to Spirit King was closed. Besides, the Spirit King had always been a man. There had never been a female Spirit King.
