Gu Qingfeng first glanced at the Heavenly Phenomena Ancestor, who was fully absorbed in refining the Heavenly Dao, and seeing that he wasn’t paying attention, he retrieved the Demon Scroll from the dimensional pocket.
He then summoned a demonic creature and ordered it to begin summoning a Celestial Demon.
Doing it himself was out of the question—his account had already been blacklisted by the Celestial Demon of Longevity, and the IP address of the Qing Realm was also blocked.
Fortunately, he was now in the upper realm, which meant he had a new IP address. By creating a fresh account, there was a good chance he could trick the Celestial Demon of Longevity into descending.
"Begin," Gu Qingfeng commanded the demonic creature.
This particular demon had been with Gu Qingfeng for a long time and was well-trained. It knew the rules—its master’s orders were absolute—so without hesitation, it began the summoning ritual.
Strange, arcane syllables spilled from its mouth...
Time passed, second by second...
Gu Qingfeng’s expression shifted from anticipation to disappointment, then from disappointment to fury!
Because the Celestial Demon completely ignored him!
Damn it!
......
In the Celestial Demon Realm beyond the heavens.
A figure as ancient and unyielding as the stars themselves was seething with rage.
It was the Celestial Demon of Longevity!
Sensing the faint signals transmitted through the void, it roared, "That damned ant again! How dare he! How dare he!"
With its furious bellow, the entire starry sky trembled in fear.
"That bastard! Does he think changing worlds and using a different summoner will fool me? Little does he know, I’ve already recorded the signature of that Demon Scroll—he won’t trick me again!"
"He’s hiding in the Cangming Realm now, is he? My avatar is already on its way. Once it arrives, his death is assured!"
......
In the spatial rift of the Cangming Realm.
Gu Qingfeng, still waiting in vain for a response from the Celestial Demon of Longevity, suddenly realized something.
His face darkened as he glared at the Demon Scroll in his hand and cursed, "Dammit! That idiot must’ve blacklisted my device!"
Now he was stuck. He could change his IP address and account, but the device was irreplaceable—there was only one Demon Scroll. Unless he used another scroll to contact the Celestial Demon of Longevity, there was no way to lure it down.
Damn it!
Was grinding it out the only option now?
Since when did demons become so cunning?
After stewing in frustration for a while, Gu Qingfeng put away the demonic creature and the Demon Scroll, then resumed punching the dimensional seal with relentless force.
Three days later...
Gu Qingfeng had reached his limit. He’d been trapped for three whole days. During that time, he’d hurled every insult imaginable at the Heavenly Phenomena Ancestor, even extending his "greetings" to the man’s ancestors eighteen generations back.
But the Heavenly Phenomena Ancestor simply cast a soundproofing spell, blocking out all noise.
No one knew how he’d survived these three days—nothing but endless punching, with his only entertainment being the occasional massage in the dimensional pocket.
He’d had enough!
The upper realm’s demons were truly not to be underestimated. Anyone who’d lived for thousands of years would have countless tricks up their sleeve. From now on, he couldn’t afford to provoke the stronger demons recklessly. If the gap in power was too great and he got sealed away again, it’d be a nightmare.
Sure, he could eventually break free through self-inflicted torment, but the process was excruciating. What if it took eight or ten years? Who could endure that?
Just as Gu Qingfeng’s patience was wearing thin—
Suddenly!
The Heavenly Phenomena Ancestor, who had been motionless for so long, abruptly stood up, his face alight with triumph. "Hahaha... I’ve finally succeeded!"
Gu Qingfeng, who had been lying around, sprang to his feet with equal excitement. "Hehehe... I’m finally getting out of here!"
By now, the Heavenly Dao of the Qing Realm was completely enveloped in black light, countless dark threads weaving into a cocoon that obscured its disc-like form.
Strangely, the black cocoon pulsed rhythmically, as if it had a heartbeat, as though it were nurturing life itself.
"All that’s left is to wait for its birth, and my work will be complete! My ascension to the Heavenly Sovereign realm is within reach! Hahaha..." The Heavenly Phenomena Ancestor laughed maniacally.
Even someone as composed as him couldn’t contain his excitement—refining the Heavenly Dao had brought him immense benefits.
After laughing for a while, the Heavenly Phenomena Ancestor turned his eager gaze toward Gu Qingfeng. "Now, it’s time to study you properly."
"Perfect. I’ve been waiting so long the flowers have wilted," Gu Qingfeng replied, locking eyes with the Heavenly Phenomena Ancestor through the dimensional seal, his own excitement matching the demon’s.
But just as the two were reveling in their mutual anticipation—
BOOM!
A deafening explosion shook the heavens and earth!
The world trembled violently, as if struck by a catastrophic force.
The Heavenly Phenomena Ancestor’s triumphant expression instantly twisted into alarm.
"Who dares invade my spatial rift?!"
Now, he had no time to spare for Gu Qingfeng. He soared into the sky, standing atop the void as he peered into the distant horizon.
There, the fabric of space itself had split open—a jagged, irregular tear, as though slashed apart by some monstrous claw.
A second later, a grotesque demonic figure slipped through the fissure, its form flickering between reality and illusion, as if it lacked a true physical body.
The moment the Heavenly Phenomena Ancestor saw this figure, his face contorted in shock. "An avatar of the Celestial Demon?!"
But the so-called Celestial Demon avatar paid him no mind. Instead, its gaze swept the area before locking onto Gu Qingfeng, trapped within the seal.
Its lips curled into a terrifying grin. "You wretched ant! You’ve made me search far and wide for you!"
The Heavenly Phenomena Ancestor was stunned. What was happening?!
The Celestial Demon’s avatar was here for this human?!
Gu Qingfeng was equally baffled. What the hell?!
Hadn’t his summoning failed? Why was there still an avatar coming for him?
Then, it hit him.
Back when he’d been exploiting the Celestial Demon of Longevity, he’d pushed it too far. Before being expelled by the Heavenly Dao, the demon had left a parting threat.
It had said something about marking him and sending an avatar to drag him to the Celestial Demon Realm for eternal torment...
Gu Qingfeng had long forgotten about it—until now.
Who would’ve thought the Celestial Demon of Longevity kept its word? It actually sent an avatar after him!
Seemed like today was his lucky day. Not only was the Heavenly Phenomena Ancestor about to release him, but even the Celestial Demon had traveled across realms to lend a hand.
"Esteemed Celestial Demon, may I ask why you’ve come to my secluded cultivation site?" the Heavenly Phenomena Ancestor asked cautiously.
"Scram." The Celestial Demon’s avatar ignored him, manifesting a colossal hand that reached straight for Gu Qingfeng.
The Heavenly Phenomena Ancestor’s face darkened. With a swift motion, he struck out, obliterating the giant hand with a single palm strike.
"A mere ant at the Heavenly Human realm dares obstruct me?" the Celestial Demon’s avatar growled.
The Heavenly Phenomena Ancestor paused. That line sounded oddly familiar—hadn’t he heard it somewhere before?
"Celestial Demon, if your true form had come, I would naturally defer to you. But with just an avatar, you dare barge into the Cangming Realm? Aren’t you overestimating yourself?"

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
