“When that happens, we will have no other choice,” said Li Guan.
“To personally end the world, causing countless deaths…” Qin Wu shook his head. “It’s a nightmare.”
“If demon sages can enter as they please, a large group of demon sages can easily flatten the human world. Countless demons will occupy the human world. Humans will be food to the demons; they’ll be eaten. That would be even more tragic,” said Li Guan. “It’s better to… die instantly without any pain when we end the world.”
Li Guan revealed a smile as he looked at Qin Wu. “The two worlds are like two bubbles in the River of Spacetime. They can be very close to each other and even form a World Gap. However, they will eventually separate from each other.”
“How long will it take for the two worlds to separate?” asked Qin Wu.
“According to the past seniors that explored the River of Spacetime and gathered some information, since the World Gap has been born, it might take 1,000 years for the two worlds to separate,” said Li Guan.
“A thousand years?” Qin Wu fell silent.
“We will definitely win,” said Li Guan with a smile. “Perhaps one day, an Imperial Lord will be born. Perhaps a miracle will happen one day. As long as we persist… there will be hope.”
Qin Wu nodded.
There were two requirements for becoming an Imperial Lord. The first requirement depended on one’s technique realm. The second requirement depended on one’s Essence Soul. There were no age requirements. One’s technique realm had to reach the Imperial Lord level—the Heaven Earth realm. They also needed to attain a seventh-level Essence Soul.
Grandsire Yin Yang, Ancestral Master Guo Ke, and many other famous figures in history had reached the Heaven Earth realm, but their Essence Souls failed to meet the mark. Some had high Essence Soul cultivation talent and attained a seventh-level Essence Soul. However, their technique realm failed to reach the Heaven Earth realm.
Few humans in history had managed both. On average, an Imperial Lord was born once every 100,000 years.
From that day onwards, Black Sand Grotto-Heaven and Two World Island built large city passes-Leviathan Jade Pass and Qingji Pass. As for Archean Mountain, they built a super-large city pass-Sword Sovereign City.
Swoosh.
A stream of light flew through the sky; it was Meng Chuan, who was on his way home after a busy day.
was
What a big city.
While passing by An State, Meng Chuan came to the new city pass. The four city walls of Sword Sovereign City were 100 kilometers long each. Even Jiang State Capital, which had been expanded, was of such a standard. It could accommodate more than 20 million people.
It’s really lively. Meng Chuan watched as the huge city occupied the mountains and wilderness. One-third of the city was embedded in the mountain range. A large portion of the mountain had been dug out. This was very easy for Supremacy Qin Wu. The city walls were built simply and quickly. The countless buildings in the city were much more complicated. Under the guidance of Godfiends, countless mortals were constructing buildings.
Swoosh. A figure flew over.
Meng Chuan immediately welcomed him and bowed respectfully. “Master.”
“It’s been half a month since Sword Sovereign City was built. It’s your first time here.” Qin Wu smiled at his disciple.
“I happened to pass by,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. He was busy every day, hoping he could have twice the amount of time in a day.
“After you returned from the World Gap, your speed has increased greatly,” said Qin Wu. “You are killing underground demon monarchs even faster. In the past few months, the demons must have realized your existence. According to what I know, the demons have been investigating. They want to know which Archean Mountain Regis Godfiend is so skilled at underground reconnaissance. You have to be careful. Make sure to keep your identity a secret.”
“Don’t worry, Master.” Meng Chuan nodded. “Right now, there aren’t any fourth Firmament demon monarchs underground. They are all ordinary demon monarchs. Once I discover them, I kill them from afar. Those ordinary demon monarchs won’t even see me before they lose their lives. Even if they have divine powers like avatars, they won’t discover my identity.”
Qin Wu nodded and said, “You are ultimately a Marquis Godfiend. Although you can fight above your level, you only have the strength of a top Regis Godfiend. Once your identity is exposed, it won’t be difficult for the demons to kill you. For example, Demon Sage Nine Abyss may personally assassinate you. If that happens, you can only use the defensive stone talisman to protect yourself. However, the protective stone talisman will be expended after a single usage.” Meng Chuan nodded. “I understand.”

“Before becoming a Regis Godfiend, you have to keep your identity a secret. After all, you make the demons’ hearts ache with your demon monarch killing speed,” said Qin Wu.
“It’s good that their heart hurts.” Meng Chuan looked at the huge city below that was in the midst of construction. “I hope their hearts ache even more in the future. The more their hearts ache, the happier I will be.”
Qin Wu laughed and looked down. At this moment, a constant flow of people was entering Sword Sovereign City through the various city gates with their entire families. “It will be very safe here with me presiding over it,” said Qin Wu. “I will try my best to arrange for nearly 30 million people to be brought here from the wilderness.”
“It’s good for mortals.” Meng Chuan nodded. He could see the hope in the people’s eyes.
“Dad, what a big city.” A group of mortals with over 100 people-male and female, young and old-were pulling carts. Many of their clothes, bowls, and pans were placed on them. Children were happily running beside the adults, excitedly looking at the city as snot flowed from their noses.
“That’s right. I heard that this large city could hold more than 20 million people. It’s the largest city in our Great Zhou Dynasty. Kid, once you live in the city, you can train under the sun. There’s no need to hide,” said his father happily as he pulled the cart.
“I never expected our family to be able to enter a large city.” There was an old woman on the cart as well. She chuckled.
The hundreds of people in the team laughed happily.
To mortals, large cities were unbelievable, magical places. Many mortals dreamed of living in large cities for their entire lives.
Sword Sovereign City was newly built. It provided the lowest-level residence for free, but even that was ten times better than what they had in the wilderness.
Deep in the North Sea, inside a small grotto-heaven.
Demon Sage Nine Abyss, the black-robed man, and the yellow-robed man were gathered together.
“North Sense, congratulations on reaching the fifth Firmament,” said the yellow-robed man with a smile.
“We were demon sages. It’s naturally not difficult for us to recover to the fifth Firmament,” said the black-robed man. “I believe Brother Yellow Oscillate will soon reach the fifth Firmament.”
The yellow-robed man nodded. To them, restoring their demon sage strength was the most difficult thing. Even so, they still entered the human world via possession. This was because they could not see any hope in the Demon Realm. They had only the right to negotiate with the demon Imperial Lords when they were in the human world! Only then did they see hope.
“One super-large and two large World Entrances have recently appeared,” said Demon Sage Nine Abyss with a smile. “The situation is becoming more and more advantageous for us demons.”
The black-robed man smiled as well. “I heard that Supremacy Qin Wu is personally guarding the super-large World Entrance. Therefore, it’s named Sword Sovereign City.” Demon Sage Nine Abyss nodded. “Qin Wu is extremely talented. He was extremely dazzling 1,000 years ago. When he was a Regis Godfiend, he struck terror in Two World Island and Black Sand Grotto-Heaven with his kills with the Thirteen Swordbanes. Back then, he was known as the Sword Sovereign, indicating that his strength was above all Regis Godfiends. Later, after he broke through and became a Creation Supremacy, he became increasingly low-key. However, according to what we know, his strength is ranked in the top three among humans.”
“Bai Yaoyue, Qin Wu, and Li Guan should be the three strongest Creation realm humans,” said the black-robed man. “We have to avoid the three of them.”
“There are many demon monarchs in the world now. There’s no need for us to take action,” said Demon Sage Nine Abyss. “It’s been more than two years since the ceasefire. I’m guessing that some ancient Regis Godfiends are about to enter ‘fake deaths’ again. We have to begin our operation. We have to force these Regis Godfiends to stay awake and expend their lifespans.”
“It’s time to mobilize the demon monarchs. There are at least 800,000 demon monarchs in the human world. King White Treasure and a mysterious Archean Mountain Godfiend have been slaughtering underground demons for the past half-year,” said the black-robed man. “Even more demon monarchs have been slaughtered by that mysterious Godfiend.”
With the total number of dead demon monarchs and the location of their deaths, they determined that two human Godfiends were hunting for underground demon monarchs.
“Have you found out who the Archean Mountain Godfiend that is skilled at underground reconnaissance is?” Demon Sage Nine Abyss frowned.
“No.” The black-robed man said, “It’s unlikely to be any of the 14 current Archean Mountain Regis Godfiends. I suspect that it’s one of the 20 or so Regis Godfiends that awakened. However, it’s very difficult for us to come into contact with these ancient Godfiends.”
Demon Sage Nine Abyss nodded slightly. “Continue investigating. I’ll arrange for demon monarchs to take action. It’ll be the day after tomorrow.”
