【Slowly, everyone finally recovered from the shock.】
【Some people were whispering in discussion.】
【"Just who is this Chen Yi? He's so strong, how come we've never heard of him before?"】
【"I heard he is the Empress's lover, the younger brother of the Northern Khan, a disciple of the Sword Sect, and the savior of the Central Plains' Emperor. He's also a highly influential minister in the Western Liang Spiritual Artifact Nation."】
【"So it's Senior Chen! I've admired him for a long time! I feel like I've known him in spirit for ages! Hahaha..."】
【The Myriad Soul Banner floated above the group of spiritual artifacts and began to deliver a victory speech.】
【"Did you see that? This is Our servant! His achievements today are all under Our wise and martial leadership and guidance! From now on, you must loyally follow Us, conquer the Central Plains as soon as possible, and unite the world!"】
【The Immortal Binding Rope couldn't help but remind the Myriad Soul Banner.】
【"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Keep your voice down, they can hear you!"】
【The war temporarily came to a halt due to extreme shock from both sides after you punched a hole through the four Ancestors.】
【One side was shocked that "someone on our side is actually this strong."】
【The other side was shocked that "someone on their side is actually this strong."】
【As Martial Saints possessing a high concentration of ancient divine beast bloodlines, the four great Demon Ancestors would not simply drop dead just because your body pierced through theirs.】
【The Demon Race inherently possessed astonishing physiques and tenacious vitality.】
【For these four, they had only suffered rather severe external injuries; it wouldn't kill them.】
【However, their combat power was definitely greatly affected.】
【You arrived beside the Azure Dragon.】
【But you were not alone.】
【Behind you was an all-star lineup from the Five Domains!】
【The Azure Dragon was half-kneeling on the ground, clutching a bloody hole in his body, his expression awful.】
【"Human! You still dare to approach this Venerable One? Are you not afraid I will kill you!"】
【You placed a bottle of pills on the ground.】
【"Eat them. Your wounds will heal a bit faster."】
【"Take away your filthy things! This is probably refined from something weak and innocent again, isn't it!"】
【You shrugged.】
【"Dragon Bone Flowers, Sanqi Grass, and the like are indeed quite innocent. They were growing perfectly fine before someone picked them, ground them into powder, and refined them into pills."】
【"Are you here to mock me? We haven't lost yet!"】
【You took out the Demon Refining Pot.】
【"Except for that Four-Eyed Spirit Monkey, all the other Demon Kings can be returned to you. Rest assured, they are all alive and well."】
【The Azure Dragon's expression changed slightly.】
【"Human, what exactly do you want to do?"】
【"A truce."】
【"You know that's impossible!"】
【Your voice suddenly raised an octave.】
【"Was the blood shed in the Demon Realm thirty thousand years ago not enough! Do you want the Dragonmen Race to do it again in the Human Realm, and have the Human Realm erased from the Void Realm too?! If you truly consider the Human Realm your second home, then stop this internal friction. I'm afraid the Dragonmen Race is currently watching from somewhere unknown as both our sides fight until our heads are broken and bleeding!"】
【The Azure Dragon's expression drastically changed.】
【"You know the Demon Realm was erased?"】
【You sighed.】
【"I've been to the Demon Realm. There is no life, no light, just a sea of gray and endless departed souls..."】
【"Nonsense! You are merely at the Soul Condensation Realm. Even if I gave you ten Nine Tripod Cauldrons, you wouldn't be able to go there!"】
【"What if it's like this..."】
【You pulled out the smoking Universe Mirror and gave the Azure Dragon a glance.】
"How is this thing in your hands? Hasn't the Universe Mirror always been cooperating with the Shen family?"
"It's a long story, and it's not what we are here to discuss today."
The Azure Dragon tapped his dragon claws on his wound, using some kind of demonic art to temporarily stop the bleeding.
He stood up, towering a full five meters tall, and looked down at you with a disdainful gaze.
Although you were shorter than him, your aura towered even higher!
"It is possible for us to withdraw our troops, but the Human Race must agree to a few of my conditions. First..."
Hearing these words, many Martial Saints and Martial Kings behind you could hardly conceal the joy in their hearts.
This war had been fought for several years. Even these mighty experts were exhausted. A truce would be for the best, and they would agree to absolutely any condition!
Unexpectedly, you directly interrupted the Azure Dragon.
"Losers have no right to negotiate conditions."
The Azure Dragon's face flashed with anger.
"Who are you calling a loser?"
Your gaze swept over the Four Great Demon Ancestors.
"I'm talking about the four of you."
"You..."
"The egg-swapping incident was indeed a wrongdoing by the people of the Five Domains. Those who should be captured have been captured, and those who should be killed have been killed.
You have also killed many people in this war, which is more than enough to pay for those lives.
What we can guarantee is that such a thing will absolutely never happen again in the future.
You might not believe it, but you should at least believe that no one here wishes to go to war with the Demon Race again.
We cultivate not to fight anyone to the bitter end, but for longevity, to pursue the Great Dao!
You keep saying that the Five Domains collude with the Dragonman Race and want to betray the Human Realm.
If you continue to act obstinately and fight the Five Domains to the death, aren't you also ruining the Human Realm?
This war has gone on long enough. Your Dao Protector also wouldn't want to see the Dragonman Race's conspiracy succeed once again!"
Hearing the words "Dao Protector," the Four Great Demon Ancestors all revealed expressions of surprise.
"You have seen our... Dao Protector?"
"He died. The Demon Realm was erased, and his departed soul could not be transcended. Although your Dao Protector had a way to annihilate himself, he was suppressed in an ancient city by the Dragonman Race using the Soul Binding Chain."
Hearing this, the White Tiger punched the mountainside, smashing a hole straight through the mountain.
"Bastard Dragonman Race! To actually suppress our race's destiny! No wonder for thirty thousand years, our race in the Human Realm has never been able to break through to the Demon God Realm!"
The Demon God he spoke of was actually equivalent to the Martial God Realm among human martial artists.
The Azure Dragon also revealed a thoughtful expression, seemingly understanding a few things, and asked.
"How is the Dao Protector now?"
"I rescued him from the Soul Binding Chain. In order to annihilate himself, and at the same time send me back to the Human Realm, he sacrificed himself.
He said that this way, a new Dao Protector will emerge among your Demon Race."
The Four Great Demon Ancestors showed expressions of sorrow.
You felt that these demons seemed to lack the deep cunning of humans; whatever emotions they had were plainly displayed on their faces.
"The Dao Protector fought for our Demon Race in life, and in death he sought liberation for the future of the Demon Race. He was a great demon."
The Sword Master, listening to your conversation with the Four Great Demon Ancestors, suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He stepped forward and spoke.
"Chen Yi helped the Demon Race release the suppressed Dao Protector, allowing your race's destiny to restart and giving you the chance for a new Dao Protector to emerge in the future. Is Chen Yi not a great benefactor to the Demon Race?"
The Azure Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, and the others looked at each other in dismay.
[Damn, that actually makes sense!]
[You cough once and raise your hand to speak.]
["There is no need for thanks. I am just a nameless nobody passing through the Demon Realm."]
[Behind you, the various big shots of the Five Domains are looking at you with a mix of reverence and utter speechlessness.]
[They thought your connections in the Five Domains were already unparalleled.]
[To think you are also a great benefactor to the Demon Race!]
[This network of yours is absolutely invincible!]
[The King of Connections, a well-deserved title indeed!]

Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

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.

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...
