"Gu Qingfeng, this time we descend with part of our true forms. You are doomed!" the three Heavenly Demons roared.
"Damn, you're ugly. No wonder you hide in the Heavenly Demon Realm all day, too ashamed to show your faces," Gu Qingfeng said with disgust.
To be honest, the trio of Heart, Oath, and Life Demons were indeed unsightly enough to ruin the scenery.
It was common knowledge that Heavenly Demons couldn’t leave their realm, but Gu Qingfeng never expected these three to be so fiercely loyal. Unable to save him from afar, they chose to bear the immense cost of descending with part of their true forms just to rescue him.
Truly, ugly on the outside but kind at heart.
"Dare to mock us even at death's door?"
The trio attacked simultaneously, causing the Heavenly Chains to tremble violently as if facing a fatal threat.
The Heavenly Dao didn’t stand idly by. It diverted most of its power to stop the demons.
The Heavenly Dao lacked human complexity—it only knew that the demons were attacking the chains, which meant attacking it.
Even Old Ghost, who had been locked in battle with the Heavenly Dao, suddenly turned his spear toward the demons.
He understood their goal wasn’t the Cangming Realm but Gu Qingfeng. If they succeeded, they might leave, leaving him alone and powerless to exploit the chaos.
He couldn’t afford to gamble.
So he had to stop them, forcing them to ally with him.
If they wanted Gu Qingfeng, they’d have to help him destroy the Heavenly Dao first.
Thus began an absurd free-for-all.
In this melee, it was impossible to tell friend from foe.
The demons didn’t join Old Ghost against the Heavenly Dao. Instead, Old Ghost teamed up with the Heavenly Dao to fight the demons. Chaos—absolute chaos.
The next moment, terrifying collisions erupted, shaking the heavens.
The three-way battle sent shockwaves through the Cangming Realm, the void shattering like glass under their divine-level clashes.
Yet Gu Qingfeng, the center of it all, watched lazily from the sidelines like a mere spectator.
Against Old Ghost and the Heavenly Dao, the demons were clearly outmatched. But their greatest advantage was their immortality—even when blasted apart, they reformed instantly, unharmed.
"Damn it! These bastards are ganging up on my family!"
Fuck!
No, he had to keep cheering them on.
"Keep screaming, you trash! Why the silence now? Weren’t you going to torment me for eternity?
Here I stand, right in front of you, yet you can’t even touch a hair on my head.
Now you’re getting beaten like dogs. Honestly, I’m begging you—stop embarrassing yourselves. You strut around like you own the heavens, but look at you now, getting pummeled beyond recognition. It’s downright pathetic."
"AAAAH! Gu Qingfeng, you wretched ant, just you wait—"
"I’ve been waiting so long the flowers have wilted! When’s this ‘eternal torment’ supposed to start? Seriously, quit the bragging. Years of empty threats, and now? Just getting slapped in the face. How’s that feel?"
BOOM!
The Heart Demon exploded.
Literally. Reduced to ashes.
Gu Qingfeng was stunned. Did his pep talk backfire?
NO!
He couldn’t lose family like this!
Then, the Heart Demon’s voice echoed from the dark depths above.
"Gu Qingfeng! Today, even at the cost of my cultivation, I will descend in my full form and torment you for eternity!"
The Life and Oath Demons paled.
"You’re insane! Our true forms can’t leave the Heavenly Demon Realm!"
"A brief moment won’t kill us. Or are you just going to take this humiliation? We are Heavenly Demons!
If you’ve lost your pride, I haven’t! After eons, my blood still boils!"
The Life and Oath Demons exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with ruthlessness. Then they too exploded, vanishing as they prepared to descend fully.
The next instant, three monstrous auras manifested. The Cangming Realm groaned under the pressure.
The sky twisted and warped, as if colossal beings were squeezing through a narrow window.
CRACK—CRACK—
The void shattered like broken glass.
Finally, the three demons reappeared—identical to before, but now dozens of times larger.
The Heart Demon spoke coldly. "You two, deal with the Heavenly Dao and that insect."
Without hesitation, the Life and Oath Demons charged at Old Ghost and the Heavenly Dao. Time was short—one misstep, and they might lose their cultivation, trapped forever outside their realm.
Against their true forms, Old Ghost and the Heavenly Dao were powerless to intervene.
They could only watch as the Heart Demon strode toward Gu Qingfeng.
Looming over the chained figure, the Heart Demon’s nine heads twisted into identical grins.
At this moment, nothing else existed for him—only Gu Qingfeng.
And Gu Qingfeng? His eyes burned with fervor, his smirk widening as he admired the Heart Demon’s godly physique.
Their gazes locked—an eternity in an instant.
BOOM!
The Heart Demon struck. A titanic hand clamped onto the Heavenly Chains.
The chains let out a shrill cry.
CRACK!
With one wrenching pull, they shattered into nothingness.
The fragments crumbled to stardust in his grip, scattering into the void.
And Gu Qingfeng?
He felt the weight lift.
No more shackles.
At last... the seal was broken. The demon was unleashed!
"Kehahahaha—!"
His laughter shook the world.
Arrogant eyes swept the battlefield. His neck cracked as he tilted his head side to side.
Then—WHOOSH!
He shot into the sky, soaring to the heavens, level with the sun and moon, towering over the earth.
His form, vast and ethereal, radiated boundless demonic energy.
"Finally... time to wreak havoc!"
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."
