The Beast Lord had just broken through not long ago, crimson energy swirling around him.
This surge of power felt incredibly exhilarating.
However, the meeting soon began, and the Beast Lord suppressed his imposing aura.
Only a few beastmen were present—the Grand Priest, General Qingyi, and General Chilin.
"Grand Priest, how have the humans been lately?"
Though the Beast Lord had been in seclusion, he could still faintly sense the outside world.
Especially the aura of heavenly tribulations.
"The situation is not favorable for us."
The Grand Priest had long dispatched demonic beasts to gather intelligence on the humans.
Previously, there had been no intention, but now that war was imminent, they had to assess the humans' strength.
However, operating in human territory made gathering information difficult.
Still, major events were easy to uncover.
He reported the recent breakthroughs of human powerhouses—Jiang Ningshu, Lin Xuan, and an unknown figure.
"What? Someone reached the Tribulation Transcendence Realm before me?"
The Beast Lord's expression darkened at the news of Jiang Ningshu's breakthrough.
He had believed himself to be the first in ten thousand years to reach that realm.
It seemed he had underestimated the humans.
"It appears we must fight to the death."
Even so, the Beast Lord's battle intent remained unshaken.
The other beastmen did not oppose him—they shared the same sentiment.
There would never be a better opportunity than now.
At that moment, two figures entered unannounced—one with the head of a lion, the other a leopard.
The two Kings had arrived.
Lion Heart King spoke first, "What? You didn’t invite us? Think we’re useless?"
Leopard Speed King added, "Don’t forget, we’re also part of the beast army."
The Beast Lord wasn’t angered by their intrusion. "I thought you’d still try to stop me."
Lion Heart King replied, "If you hadn’t reached the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, we would have."
Leopard Speed King continued, "Now, you need our help, don’t you?"
The Beast Lord asked solemnly, "Then tell me—do you have the courage to strike at the humans now?"
Lion Heart King answered, "Things are different now. Your breakthrough is our greatest courage."
"Then join us," the Beast Lord said, welcoming them into the discussion.
Lion Heart King and Leopard Speed King were former Beast Lords.
But constrained by their own strength and the beast army’s limitations, they had opposed war, choosing instead to bide their time.
As a result, their tenures were marked by a lack of significant achievements.
The current Beast Lord had once despised them, even resented them—how could one lead without the will to fight?
But after defeating Lion Heart King and ascending to power, he understood their reasoning.
Commanding the beast army, he realized that an all-out war with the humans would be unwinnable.
Yet, he refused to despair. He vowed to lead the beast army to a brighter future during his reign.
Now, he believed the time had come.
His past hatred for Lion Heart King and Leopard Speed King had faded.
Instead, he recognized that their patience had made this battle possible.
"Let’s discuss our strategy," the Beast Lord declared.
A heated debate followed.
The Grand Priest proposed an idea—burning life force to forcibly elevate cultivation.
Victory through conventional means was unlikely. Though resources had been distributed, progress was slow.
If they wanted a decisive advantage, the Grand Priest had a method—sacrificing lifespan for power.
But this was a desperate gamble.
Even if they won, most of the beast army would only have a few years left to live.
After deliberation, they agreed to the plan.
The Beast Lord acted swiftly, announcing it to the beast army to gauge their reaction.
The response was unanimous support. They had suffered long enough in these desolate lands.
With hope in sight, they were willing to risk everything.
Their lives might be short, but their descendants could prosper.
Of course, many of the beasts were simple-minded, blindly following the Beast Lord’s orders.
......
As the beast army mobilized, the humans were not idle.
The Heavenly Diviner had foretold—the final battle between humans and beasts was approaching.
The Beast Lord’s breakthrough only confirmed it.
A Tribulation Transcendence Realm Beast Lord was dire news. Countermeasures were needed.
The best solution was to find Jiang Ningshu—pitting one Tribulation Transcendence expert against another.
But despite extensive searches, Jiang Ningshu remained elusive.
As a last resort, a widespread call went out:
"The beast army is preparing to attack. To defend the cultivation world, gather at the Northern Heavenly Gate."
This was both to alert Jiang Ningshu and rally others.
Soon, cultivators began marching north.
While not everyone felt responsible, the fate of humanity was at stake—most were willing to step forward.
Even the reluctant were compelled, especially those from sects.
This was expected—sects were better organized than rogue cultivators.
Those from the Northern Continent could march without fear—their homes were secure.
The Emperor Heaven Sect dominated the north, having long eradicated demonic factions.
But the Southern Continent was different.
Though most demonic forces had been wiped out, the Right Envoy and Su Luo remained.
Both were formidable—if they struck now, entire sects could fall.
Thus, even in these dire times, sects left behind a few experts to guard their bases.
Then, the Seven Stars Sword Sect took charge.
They vowed to resolve the demonic threat swiftly, easing others’ concerns.
Soon, word spread—the new Heavenly Demon Sect had been destroyed, leaving only Su Luo.
Nangong Xiyun revealed this, seeing no need for further secrecy.
She then disclosed Su Luo’s true identity to other sect leaders:
Su Luo was a spy planted by the Seven Stars Sword Sect within the demonic faction.
The revelation stunned everyone.
What kind of spy could rise to become a faction’s supreme leader?
The Seven Stars Sword Sect Leader confirmed Nangong Xiyun’s words, presenting meticulously prepared evidence.
He had anticipated this scenario, documenting Su Luo’s actions—most sourced through Li Siyi.
Finally, Lin Xuan testified:
"All along, it was Su Luo who guided me in secret, enabling my achievements today."
The other sect leaders marveled.
"Incredible! No wonder our efforts succeeded—someone was aiding us from the shadows."
"Establishing a new Heavenly Demon Sect to lure the remnants, then wiping them out—brilliant!"
"Not just brilliant—it took courage and strength. Su Luo is truly unfathomable."

s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. 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."

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
