Right now, the Demon Capital is by far the most chaotic place in the Demonic Realm. Both Wotan's faction and the old subordinates of Supreme Titus see controlling the capital as the mark of true demonic royalty.
Blackrock City is still a thousand li away from the Demon Capital. For anyone at Demon Sovereign rank or above, that distance means nothing—it's close enough to reach in the time it takes to finish a sentence.
At this moment, Blackrock City is completely occupied by the old subordinates of Supreme Titus. They’ve just been routed by Wotan’s army and fled the capital in a panic.
But this internal strife in the Demonic Realm is limited to the upper echelons of command. What they’re fighting over is just the right to rule at the very top, so even if one side loses, it’s not a slaughter to the last man.
Inside one of the great halls, more than a dozen late-stage Demon Sovereigns and several newly advanced Demon Emperors are gathered for a secret ritual. None of them realize that Evan Chu, having mastered the Light Origin Spirit and the full breadth of Light Laws, is using Light Transformation to sneak around invisibly right here.
“We’ve suffered huge losses this time! Not only have several elders and commanders been gravely wounded, but even the Holy Demon Sovereigns who always supported us have gone over to their side!”
“Sigh! There’s nothing we can do. The plan to resurrect Lord Titus might have to be shelved. Even though we’re still unwilling to give up, Wotan has already reached late-stage Demon Emperor, and there’s no one in the entire Demonic Realm who can match him!
And besides all that, his Demon Sovereign army is basically unstoppable. Not to mention those God-Realm traitors backing him with everything they’ve got—there’s just no way we can stand against that!”
“Are we just supposed to give up like this? Commander, can’t you say something…?”
The elders keep discussing, but no matter how they talk it over, there’s only one outcome: bowing to Wotan and giving up on reviving Lord Titus.
“No! We can’t give up on Lord Titus!”
Suddenly, the person seated highest in the hall spoke up, and Evan Chu immediately recognized the voice. On closer inspection, wasn’t this the “Princess Serena” he’d met in the Sea God’s Domain?
But how could the Netherworld’s Princess Serena show up in the Demonic Realm and become the commander of Titus’s resurrection faction? More importantly, the demonic qi swirling around her was clearly early-stage Demon Emperor level!
Evan was startled—he quickly realized he’d been fooled. This “Princess Serena” was a fake all along! She was actually a native of the Demonic Realm.
Evan continued sneaking around; since these demonic powerhouses didn’t cultivate with the Dark Origin Spirit, there was no way they could sense him, which put his mind at ease.
And just now, in that ruined demonic city, Evan had collected quite a few Dark Element Core Pearls. He was now only one step away from completing the ninth transformation of darkness; once he fully comprehended the Dark Laws, he could easily disguise himself as a God-Realm traitor or a member of Wotan’s faction.
You all know exactly what I am! I am the Heart-Devil Origin, the highest-grade demonic lifeform in the Demonic Realm. And let me assure you once again: even though Lord Titus is sealed in the lower world, his power is growing terrifyingly stronger every single day!
From what I know, once he is revived, his strength could even briefly break through to that legendary realm. A mere late-stage Demon Emperor is nothing but an ant to Lord Titus!
The fake Princess Serena’s voice was cold and severe, her terrifying cultivation radiating outward, making her meaning absolutely clear.
Back when she separated from Evan, she sought a chance to return to the Demonic Realm. But things turned out very differently from what she’d expected—Wotan’s arrival completely disrupted Titus’s old subordinates’ plan to resurrect him.
When Titus’s old subordinates were lost and confused, she stepped forward, using her terrifying cultivation to intimidate everyone and lead them in a desperate resistance.
But one person’s strength is never enough—even with a few famous demonic powerhouses, there were only three early-stage Demon Emperors standing against Wotan.
For Wotan, if not for their shared demonic blood, he might have wiped them out single-handedly… Now, he’s simply occupied the capital but left them a path to survival.
Wotan’s thinking is way too simplistic. Doesn’t he realize why that guy is helping him? Does he really think conquering the God Realm is that easy? If so, he’s way too naive!
If the Demonic Realm really wants to rise and dominate the God, Demonic, and Nether realms, reviving Lord Titus is our only hope! That God-Realm traitor has his own agenda—he’s just using Wotan to lead our clan to slaughter, so he can reap all the benefits.
If Lord Titus can’t be revived, then Wotan will fall too. Without any true powerhouses, our Demonic Realm is headed for extinction!
This kind of plan—bargaining with a tiger for its skin—they might not get it, but don’t you understand?
But as soon as she said this, a few of the previously hesitant elders stepped forward.
But… is reviving Lord Titus really enough to unite the three realms? Wotan today is far stronger than Lord Titus ever was! And as far as I know, there are very few God-Venerable experts left in the God Realm, and most of them are controlled by that God-Realm traitor.
Right now, they’ve reached an agreement: conquer the God Realm, split the resources, divide the territory, and coexist peacefully…
Bullshit! What a joke!
The fake Princess Serena was furious, continuing to roar, “If that God-Realm traitor really had that kind of power, he could destroy not just the God Realm, but the Netherworld and Demonic Realm as well!
You’re all so stupid! How do you think Wotan got his cultivation today—wasn’t it thanks to him? And now he’s going out of his way, using these roundabout methods to attack the God Realm—what’s the point?
If that’s not the case, then there’s only one explanation—his ambitions are far greater than you imagine! In his eyes, Wotan is just a pawn! Every strong figure in the three realms is part of his scheme!
If anyone could suddenly appear and ruin his plan, become the one to stop his plot, there are only two people…
The fake Princess Serena’s words jolted the elders awake, as if they were seeing the truth for the first time!
Commander, you’ve always insisted that only reviving Lord Titus can break the current stalemate. Are you saying the only one who can stop that God-Realm traitor is Lord Titus?
But besides him, who else is there?
If I’m not mistaken… the Ten Great Powers of the God Realm, the once-dominant Skycloud Palace, Wotan’s current strength in the Demonic Realm, and even the dark horse rising in the chaos of the Netherworld—all are under that God-Realm traitor’s control!
You could say that most of the top experts in the three realms are at his command, while people like us—few in number and lacking in strength—aren’t even worth his attention!
The only people he truly wants to deal with are just two… One is Lord Titus, who, once revived, will descend upon the three realms with unstoppable might! The other… is the heaven-defying reincarnation of the Primordial Nine-Clawed Dragon and Frostbane God-Venerable, Evan Chu!
Evan Chu, hiding nearby, was shocked by what he heard. He hadn’t realized the God, Demonic, and Nether realms were caught in such a terrifying crisis—and even his own understanding wasn’t as deep as this heart-devil variant’s.
But right now, that really does seem to be the case.
