Meanwhile.
In a distant sea of stars.
At the heart of the universe.
Here lay a vast galaxy completely shrouded in endless dark matter.
The ancestral homeland of the Abyssal Demons’ branch in the starry sky.
On a colossal black planet whose volume rivaled that of hundreds, even thousands, of suns stood a white-bone temple that pierced the heavens.
Inside the temple.
The atmosphere was oppressively tense.
Dozens of high-ranking demons radiating terrifying pressure stood in two rows on either side.
Seated upon the throne was the supreme ruler of this demonic branch—the Great Demon God Guming!
Stellar level!
Within his body, a full thirty thousand drops of Origin Blood had condensed!
One had to understand that a trillion units of qi and blood were required to condense a single drop of Origin Blood.
And the quality of one drop of Origin Blood was equivalent to ten trillion units of qi and blood!
With thirty thousand drops layered together, that sheer, overwhelming mass caused the space around the Great Demon God Guming to exist in a state of perpetual collapse and reconstruction.
He merely had to sit there. Even his breathing could trigger stellar storms.
“Have we uncovered the details of that administrative planet on the outskirts of the Great Chu Star Domain?”
The Great Demon God Guming’s voice boomed through the temple like thunder from the depths of the universe.
Below, a planetary-level Demon God stepped forward respectfully.
“Reporting to the Great Demon God.”
“The garrison stationed on that administrative planet is comparable in strength to our vanguard army.”
“If we attack it head-on, our losses will be considerable.”
“But as long as we can tie them down and coordinate with the main army to sever the Great Chu Star Domain’s supply lines, the human defense line will inevitably collapse!”
The Great Demon God Guming let out a cold laugh.
“Excellent.”
“Humanity has occupied the center of the universe for far too long.”
“This time, they must pay the price!”
Just as he was about to issue the order to attack—
Buzz!
The space at the center of the temple suddenly twisted violently without warning.
Immediately afterward, an extremely faint, transparent remnant soul—so feeble it seemed liable to dissipate in the slightest breeze—stumbled out of the spatial rift.
“Save me… save me…”
The remnant soul let out a mournful cry.
The entire hall fell silent.
Every high-ranking demon was stunned.
The Great Demon God Guming frowned.
He raised one massive hand covered in black scales and reached out through the air.
A vast, boundless force of origin instantly surged into the remnant soul, forcibly stabilizing the true spirit that was on the verge of collapse.
“Gusha?”
The Great Demon God Guming recognized the aura of the remnant soul. A trace of disbelief flashed through his black-hole-like eyes.
“Didn’t you answer the summons and travel to a remote lost plane?”
“How did you end up in this state?!”
“Where is your physical body? Where is your Demon God Armor?!”
A dignified Demon God had gone to an indigenous world with incomplete laws, yet had lost even his physical body?
He had returned with nothing but a wisp of remnant soul?
This was nothing short of a disgrace to the demon race!
Although his true spirit had been stabilized, Demon God Gusha was still trembling all over.
His transparent face was filled with indescribable terror and despair.
“A monster…”
“An absolute monster!!!”
Demon God Gusha’s voice was shrill, thick with sobs.
“Great Demon God! That was no ordinary lost plane!”
“That place was hell!”
“I encountered a human!”
The Demon Gods exchanged glances.
A human?
How powerful could a human branch from the fringe star domains possibly be?
“Explain yourself!”
The Great Demon God Guming shouted harshly, his terrifying pressure making the entire temple hum.
Demon God Gusha swallowed a mouthful of nonexistent saliva and began describing the events in a trembling voice.
“The laws of that world are indeed incomplete.”
“When I descended, I sensed their strongest expert. He was only at what they called the Martial Emperor realm—not even remotely qualified to condense a single drop of Origin Blood.”
“But…”
“That world produced a monster!”
“They say he’s an eighteen-year-old boy!”
Eighteen years old?
A trace of absurdity flashed through the eyes of the demons in the temple.
A star-born lifeform could spend tens of thousands of years in a single retreat.
Eighteen years old?
He wouldn’t even count as a fertilized egg yet!
“He clearly didn’t unleash any berserk qi and blood.”
“But his martial will could directly assimilate the laws of heaven and earth!”
The more Demon God Gusha spoke, the more agitated he became. His soul body fluctuated violently, as though it might collapse once again.
“I put on my Demon God Armor and unleashed ten times my combat power!”
“But he… he used only one spear!”
“Just one spear!!!”
“That spear intent wasn’t an attack on the physical level. It was a strike on the level of laws!”
“My Demon God Armor and my ten-thousand-zhang demonic body were like paper. They were erased in an instant!”
“Not even a scrap remained!”
“If I hadn’t realized what was happening and fled in time, detonating my core origin to cover my escape, my soul would have been completely annihilated by now!”
Silence.
The entire white-bone temple sank into deathly silence.
Every Demon God stared at Gusha as though he were a madman.
He had instantly slain a meteor-level Demon God wearing Demon God Armor—with a single spear?
And the attacker had been an eighteen-year-old boy?
Damn it, even if they were making up a story, they had to follow the basic laws of reality!
However—
In the farthest corner of the great hall, a Demon God completely shrouded in black robes, his aura dark and profound, trembled almost imperceptibly.
This Demon God was none other than—
a human black-hole-level powerhouse concealed among the upper echelons of the demon race!
A full million drops of Source Blood had condensed within his body!
He had infiltrated this place to gather intelligence on the demon race’s invasion of the Great Chu Star Domain.
But now—
as he listened to Demon God Gusha’s tearful account, the disguised human powerhouse named Lu Xinghe felt unprecedented shock surge through his heart.
“A lost branch world?”
“Eighteen years old?”
“One spear to instantly slay a Demon God?!”
Beneath the black robe, an astonishing radiance erupted from his deep eyes.
He knew all too well what this meant!
Even among humanity’s central star-cluster bloodline—
even those peerless divine sons cultivated with the resources of their entire race—
none of them could possibly have achieved such a feat at the age of eighteen!
At eighteen, the body had yet to fully mature, while comprehension of the laws required the accumulation of countless years.
How could anyone possibly slay a Demon God in an instant?!
“This level of talent…”
“This level of combat power…”
“It’s simply unheard of!”
Lu Xinghe’s heart pounded wildly.
The Great Chu Star Domain was currently under pressure from the demon army, and the battle situation was exceptionally grim. Humanity’s main bloodline desperately needed an unparalleled prodigy capable of breaking the stalemate!
And now, a freak who had defied the laws of the universe had appeared in a wasteland plane that had been abandoned by the rest of the world!
“I have to go and see for myself!”
“If he truly is a variable the likes of which humanity has never seen in all its history, then no matter what, I cannot let him perish in that wasteland!”
“Even if it means exposing my identity, I must bring him back to the Great Chu Star Domain and have him receive the best possible cultivation resources!”
Just as the disguised Demon God was secretly making his calculations—
upon the throne—
the Great Demon God Guming finally flew into a rage.
“Nonsense!”
Boom!
The terrifying pressure of thirty thousand drops of Origin Blood erupted without restraint.
The white-bone pillars throughout the temple groaned under the strain, cracking with sounds of imminent collapse.
“A mere eighteen-year-old human native.”
“Even if he had begun cultivating in his mother’s womb, how strong could he possibly be?!”
The Great Demon God Guming looked down coldly at Gusha’s remnant soul.
“You’re simply useless. After suffering defeat, you’ve invented this absurd excuse to cover it up!”
“You’ve disgraced the entire demon race!”
Gusha’s remnant soul was so terrified that he nearly lost his wits, frantically kowtowing.
“Great Demon God, please see the truth!”
“Every word your subordinate has said is true. I wouldn’t dare lie about a single thing!”
“That human really is a freak who defies all common sense!”
Looking at Gusha’s utterly terrified expression—one that was clearly not feigned—the killing intent in Great Demon God Guming’s eyes gradually solidified.
Whether it was a lie no longer mattered.
What mattered was that a forgotten branch of humanity had actually dared to kill a god of the demon race!
This was an unparalleled provocation against the Abyssal Demon Race!
“Good!”
Great Demon God Guming abruptly rose to his feet.
His massive body was like a black divine mountain that no one could surmount.
“Since this so-called genius has emerged from that wasteland…”
“Then I shall personally go and meet him!”
He let out a cold snort, his voice filled with a cruelty that made one feel as though they had fallen into an icy abyss.
“A mere branch of humanity dares to defy the heavens?”
“Then they can all die!”
Great Demon God Guming swept his massive hand toward the spatial rift.
“Lead the way!”
“I want to see whether his spear can break through my thirty thousand drops of Origin Blood!”
“Pass down my order!”
“The vanguard army, assemble!”
“Kill!!!”
Accompanied by Great Demon God Guming’s roar, the ancestral land of this branch of the Abyssal Demon Race—the incomparably vast black planet—began to operate like a war machine awakening from slumber.
Countless figures radiating terrifying auras rose into the sky.

Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
