Suri stared at the stream of hovercars outside the window for a full ten minutes before a bold idea suddenly formed in her mind.
Since the Federation could neither keep nor afford to offend this living ancestor, they might as well push him onto someone else!
The Myriad Races Alliance!
That alliance, composed of thirty-seven alien races, controlled five galaxy clusters on the other half of the Milky Way.
They had fought the Human Federation for three whole millennia, and the war for resources and star territories had never ceased.
The grudges between the two sides ran deep, and both wished they could wipe each other out entirely.
If they threw Ye Chuan, this ticking time bomb, into the territory of the Myriad Races Alliance, it would be a win-win situation for the Federation, whether he turned the Alliance upside down or was taken out by their powerhouses.
Brilliant!
"That is exactly what we will do." Suri's eyes lit up.
She immediately straightened her clothes, picked up the terminal from her desk, and prepared to head over to Ye Chuan's place.
"Get ready to go to the hilltop villa."
Soon, Suri stood before the doors of that villa once again.
She had already been informed that Ye Chuan and Lin Xi had returned from their outing.
After the smart AI butler verified her identity, the heavy alloy doors slowly opened.
In the living room, Ye Chuan was leaning back on the sofa, watching an interstellar comedy variety show on the holographic projection.
Originally, whenever he saw those eccentric people in his own world, Ye Chuan always felt that humanity was beyond saving.
But after seeing the comedy sketches filmed by the people of the universe, he suddenly understood...
The entire universe was beyond saving, too.
Seeing Suri walk in, Ye Chuan lifted his eyelids and said nonchalantly,
"What? Here to bring me another apology gift?"
"Mr. Ye Chuan, I came specifically to apologize to you." Suri bowed slightly with utmost respect, her tone incredibly sincere.
"It was our fault for sending people to monitor you earlier. I have already severely punished the personnel involved and ordered the withdrawal of all surveillance forces. I guarantee that nothing like this will ever happen again."
Ye Chuan did not speak, but suddenly let out a chuckle. "Do you guys think... I have a good temper?"
In the next second, Suri felt as if the space around her neck was compressing. She struggled a few times as her body was hoisted into the air.
"I... I have something to report..." Suri hastily said.
"Regarding the destruction of the X-73 galaxy tomorrow, I have arranged everything... Also..."
"Mhm." Ye Chuan withdrew his aura, causing her to drop straight to the floor. At that moment, Ye Chuan suddenly remembered something and looked up at her.
"Let me ask you something. Have you ever heard of the Pantheon Arena?"
Suri was still in shock, but she froze for a moment, carefully searching through her entire reservoir of knowledge before shaking her head.
"The Pantheon Arena? I have no idea what that is. Do you need me to look into the Federation's databases for you?"
Ye Chuan frowned and did not speak.
It seemed this Pantheon Arena was even more mysterious than he had imagined.
"What about Origin Stones?" Ye Chuan asked again.
"Have you heard of Origin Stones? A type of black ore that contains pure energy."
Hearing the words Origin Stones, Suri's eyes instantly lit up.
This was it! The opportunity had arrived!
She suppressed the excitement in her heart and feigned calmness as she said,
"I know of Origin Stones. They are a very special energy mineral that only forms on certain unique planets, containing an incredibly massive and pure amount of energy."
"However, their properties are highly unstable. The slightest carelessness can trigger an explosion, and long-term exposure leads to biological mutations. Therefore, the Federation has always prohibited private mining."
She paused, then continued, "In the currently explored regions of the universe, over ninety percent of the Origin Stone veins are in the hands of the Myriad Races Alliance."
"Those alien races in the Myriad Races Alliance seem to possess a special method for utilizing Origin Stones. Many of their weapons and technologies are powered by them."
"Although the Federation is also researching Origin Stones, we have never made any breakthrough progress."
"The Myriad Races Alliance?" Ye Chuan raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. "What kind of place is that?"
"The Myriad Races Alliance is a coalition made up of thirty-seven alien races. They are located on the other side of the Milky Way and control five galaxy clusters."
Suri quickly explained,
"They are the mortal enemies of our Human Federation. The power of the Myriad Races Alliance is immense, filled with countless experts, as well as all sorts of bizarre civilizations and abilities."
"If you want to find Origin Stones, you can only go to the territory of the Myriad Races Alliance."
She deliberately made the Myriad Races Alliance sound incredibly powerful just to bait Ye Chuan's interest.
It would be best if Ye Chuan charged straight into the Alliance's headquarters and turned the place upside down. That way, the Federation could reap the spoils without lifting a finger.
"Interesting." Ye Chuan stroked his chin.
Since the Myriad Races Alliance controlled the Origin Stones, perhaps someone there also knew about the Pantheon Arena. Besides, Ke Ning needed Origin Stones for research, so he might as well go to the Alliance and bring some back.
"So how do I get to the Myriad Races Alliance?" Ye Chuan asked.
"I can prepare the fastest warp ship for you!" This was exactly the sentence Suri had been waiting for.
Her tone carried a poorly concealed excitement.
"It will only take three days to reach the border star regions of the Myriad Races Alliance."
"I can also prepare the universal currency of the Alliance, a language translator, and detailed information on all their races, guaranteeing you a smooth and unimpeded journey!"
Fantastic! She could finally send this hot potato away!
Once Ye Chuan went to the Myriad Races Alliance, the Federation would never have to live in fear again!
Suri thought excitedly to herself, unable to stop the corners of her mouth from curving up slightly.
Looking at Suri's demeanor, looking as if she could not wait to pack him up and ship him off immediately, how could Ye Chuan not see through her little schemes?
But he did not care. He had wanted to go check out the Myriad Races Alliance anyway.
"Alright." Ye Chuan nodded. "Then we will postpone the destruction of the X-73 galaxy for a few days. We will talk about it after I get back from the Myriad Races Alliance."
"No problem, no problem at all!" Suri nodded repeatedly. "I will go arrange the spaceship right away. You can depart this afternoon!"
With that said, she turned around to leave, wishing she could shove Ye Chuan onto the spaceship this very instant so he would be out of sight and out of mind.
"Wait," Ye Chuan suddenly spoke up, stopping her in her tracks.
"Is there anything else you need, Mr. Ye Chuan?" Suri stopped and turned back, asking in confusion.
Ye Chuan leaned back on the sofa, looking at her with a half-smile. "You are coming with me."
"Huh?"
The smile on Suri's face instantly froze. She stood rooted to the spot, doubting if she had heard him correctly.
"I... I am going too?" She pointed at her own nose, her face full of disbelief.
"But Mr. Ye Chuan, I still have a lot of Federation affairs to handle..."
"It is fine. Just consider yourself dead."
What did he mean by just consider yourself dead?!
You are the one who is dead!
Your whole family is dead!
Before Suri could finish speaking her mind, she saw Ye Chuan reach out his hand. "Demon King's Authority."
Suri's body stiffened, then slumped down as her eyes quickly became hollow. "Yes, Lord Demon King."
Ye Chuan rested his face on his hand. "You were really looking forward to me going to the Myriad Races Alliance?"

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." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

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.”

No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed.

Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
