Long Tian, unable to escape the relentless Star God Guards despite his superior speed, devised a stratagem to lead them to the Demon Capital under the guise of investigating a demon-infested city. Tricking the Guards into provocatively challenging the demons at the gates, he anticipated their demise at the hands of the Bull Demon clan. However, Niu Shadi emerged, mistook the group for human invaders including the Star Master, and ordered a ferocious assault, sparking a chaotic battle where the Guards swiftly felled several Bull Demons, derailing Long Tian's plan entirely.

Long Tian stared at the fight in a stupor, his alarm mounting higher by the second.

Beyond the city gates, a shroud of bloody fog had already formed. One Star God Guard plunged into the horde of Bull Demons, slashing wildly as though slicing through watermelons and greens. With mere crackling blows, Long Tian's eyelids fluttered uncontrollably!

He was aware that the Star God Guards possessed lofty cultivation levels and remarkable movement skills, yet he hadn't anticipated their power to reach such heights!

Should they keep battling with such ferocity, countless Bull Demons would surely fall or get wounded.

As losses piled up, paired with his status as Star Lord, the misconception would only grow worse. Later, confronting Lord Demon Venerable, clearing things up would prove immensely difficult.

What could he possibly do?

Realizing the situation had veered disastrously off course, Long Tian quickly started pleading inwardly.

Come on, Bull Demons! Quick, take down these stubborn ironheads!

Right when Long Tian was quietly rooting for the Bull Demons, the remaining Star God Guards erupted with even greater prowess. Some summoned mysterious primordial forces to ravage the field, while others hurled palm blasts resembling surging floods that engulfed the Bull Demons...

In merely a handful of breaths, scores of Bull Demons lay mangled in gore. The Bull Demon forces were driven back over a hundred zhang, nearly touching the massive black gates!

Long Tian drew in a sharp breath.

Hiss...

The humans' overwhelming might surpassed all his predictions!

Panic gripped Long Tian tighter, his eyes burning with irritation toward the enormous figure ahead of the city gates.

Niu Shadi, you idiot, step in now!

As the Bull Demon leader, your cultivation runs deep and your body terrifies foes. Against these mighty humans, if you hold back from striking and butchering them, will you simply let the Bull Demon clan endure devastating losses?

Where's that savage dominance you always show?

What in the world are you up to at this moment!

Long Tian fretted deeply, yet Niu Shadi refused to act.

At last.

No longer able to endure, he bellowed in fury!

Niu...

Yet before the word fully escaped, Niu Shadi's thunderous roar drowned out everything else.

Boys, though these humans pack a punch, our Bull Demon race fears them not! They lack numbers! If they perish here today, their strength means nothing!

Charge!

A ferocious bellow exploded like a war trumpet, quaking the skies and ground.

The somewhat timid Bull Demon horde suddenly surged with fervor like they'd been pumped full of stimulants. Eyes blazing crimson, they stormed forward once more, heedless of peril!

Witnessing this, Long Tian smacked his thigh in rage!

Ugh!

Brute!

What a mindless brute this Niu Shadi is!

Aware of the Star God Guards' fearsomeness, he won't pull back. Instead, he rallies his kin with pointless bravado. Isn't this dooming the entire Bull Demon race?

Even if he dooms his own people, the blame will land squarely on me down the line!

This round, that dimwitted Bull Demon has truly dragged me into the fire!

The longer Long Tian observed, the more his anxiety swelled. Multiple times he attempted to yell, only for Niu Shadi to cut him off first. His face twisted through wild emotions, and he even faintly regretted picking such a fool as his liaison.

His scheme lay in ruins, the chaos utterly beyond control!

At the same time, before the city gates.

Niu Shadi clutched his massive axe. As his clansmen fell to slaughter, anguish tore at his heart, yet a profound serenity lingered in his gaze's depths. It seemed less like a brutal carnage and more like executing a monumental masterstroke.

Not until the Bull Demon horde was shoved back again, merely a dozen survivors limping away in retreat.

Finally.

He gave a covert nod of approval and dispatched a divine soul message to Lord Demon Venerable!

My Lord, all unfolds as planned. Long Tian has come back with the humans and nearly secured total triumph. He has undoubtedly won great respect among them.

What guidance do you offer, My Lord, for this subordinate's next step?

Moments after he spoke, a pleased response resounded in his thoughts.

Well done!

You acted shrewdly this time. This Venerable feels utmost contentment. Upon your return with the clansmen, the prior pledges will be honored without delay!

For now, simply pretend defeat and withdraw to solidify Long Tian's renown.

Take care to display panic, but keep it subtle, avoiding any excess!

...

Upon hearing this, a fierce spark ignited in Niu Shadi's eyes.

As expected, my strategy proved flawless!

Having savored victory twice, Niu Shadi had grown profoundly wiser. Fellow demons viewed him as dim, but those times were history. In truth, as a vital pawn in this colossal plot, he had awakened long ago. His foresight now surpassed what any other race could rival.

Exactly as Lord Demon Venerable declared, no sacrifice brings no reward!

Did the loss of a handful of clansmen signify anything?

Provided the grand plan succeeded, the Bull Demon race would deliver immense service to the whole Demon race. Once they conquered the universe, the Bull Demons' prestige and rewards would exceed the wildest dreams of other races.

Demons mocked his impulsiveness, yet he sneered at their failure to pierce the veil!

With a hidden breath to steady his nerves, Niu Shadi whispered Lord Demon Venerable's orders and dove back into his award-winning act.

He first bulged his eyes, glaring at the far-off blood-drenched vista, then drew a sharp gasp!

Hiss!

You humans are truly this horrifying?!

Panic flickered across the Bull Demon's gaze next, swiftly yielding to fury, ending with eyes overflowing in shame and defiance!

Impossible!

This is utterly impossible!

How could weak humans wield such might!

I, Niu Shadi, etch this grudge into my soul forever. Someday, you'll repay it a millionfold! Without razing Planet Yun, I vow I'm no demon!

Planet Yun's Lord, Long Tian, your name burns in my memory. The Demon race shall pulverize your bones to ash!

...

Within mere breaths.

Niu Shadi's portrayal achieved flawless mastery. Lines and expressions alike hit the mark precisely. That closing resentful stare toward Long Tian masterfully bared the storm of humiliation and wrath inside!

Simultaneously, it drew every gaze to Long Tian.

Silence blanketed the gore-soaked battlefield as eyes locked onto him relentlessly.

Long Tian trembled in astonishment, his complexion draining pale.

What the hell?

What drivel is Niu Shadi spewing?

He sacrificed his own kin to slaughter, yet pins the blame on me?!

Long Tian barely opened his mouth to protest when Niu Shadi hefted his massive axe and bolted with his surviving forces!

Boys!

These humans boast freakish power. Even a few lackeys prove this fierce, so Star Lord Long Tian promises greater peril. No sense battling now—withdraw fast!

Surviving Bull Demons scattered in terror, city gates crashing sealed in an instant!

Long Tian gawked dumbfounded at the scene, stirring only at the gates' deafening crash.

Bang!!!

The towering hundred-zhang portals slammed shut like an avalanche, flinging crimson dust aloft while quaking the ground underfoot. The mighty shockwave surged onward, whipping Long Tian's hair into chaos.

No way...

Niu Shadi really fled?

This cursed farce isn't finished, yet he ditches it?!

Weren't we meant to butcher the humans?

Wasn't capturing me for the Demon Venerable the goal?!

Niu Shadi's senseless bolt was maddening enough, but barring the Netherworld Gates stranded him outside Demon Capital!

Even more galling, the scum framed him right before vanishing!

He hadn't anticipated it.

This wide-eyed, honest-faced Niu Shadi proved a utter betrayer!

Fuck!

This fight sealed the Star Lord moniker to his brow. Spreading tales would forever tag Long Tian as humanity's Star Lord!

The full scheme crumbled to dust!

Staring numbly at the bloodied earth, Long Tian's mouth corners spasmed wildly.

It's finished.

Traitor to the Demon Race clung to him irrevocably now. No golden tongue could dispel the stain of butchering allies repeatedly!

Dwelling deeper bred utter desolation. Long Tian yearned to weep yet found no tears.

Precisely then.

Star God Guards returned drenched in blood, faces alight with boundless triumph and veneration.

Fists clasped, they hailed with earth-shaking roars!

"Reporting to Your Excellency!"

"We've annihilated every Bull Demon. Zero survivors!!!"

Their bellow pierced the heavens.

Empowered by Desolate Antiquity's force, their cries reverberated ceaselessly nearby. Audible crystal-clear thousands of miles distant, bound to echo into Demon Capital.

This news enraged Long Tian till his teeth nearly splintered!

Damn it!

Damn it!

Absolute fool allies hemmed him in!

Niu Shadi splashing filth on him was infuriating enough, yet these idiotic dimwits insisted on boasting loudly, seemingly worried that no one in the Demon Race would realize he had brought the Human Race straight to them.

Who would ever expect subordinates from either side to be this dim-witted?

This was nothing short of an assembly of utter morons!

Despite Long Tian's brilliant mind, he couldn't endure the idiocy of these swine-brained idiots surrounding him. He sensed total ruin had befallen him!

The ground was drenched in blood.

Anger ignited Long Tian's murderous aura, yet he stood no chance against the Star God Guards, trapping his raging fury deep within his chest without release.

All he managed was to gulp down his resentment and frustration, grinding out a lone word through clenched teeth.

"Good..."

With those words spoken, Long Tian drew in a heavy breath to quell his killing intent, departing with a grim expression. The Star God Guards trailed right behind, vanishing into the starry expanse.

Several beams of light streaked through the cosmic sea, barely noticeable like a single droplet amid vast waters.

Yet within the vast cosmic design, each minor shift had long been accounted for.

Cloud Star.

Shadow Island.

Atop a towering structure, within a refined office, Su Yunyun in her flowing gown stared out the window at the urban sprawl.

Standing behind her.

Pork Rong delivered his report honestly, face full of deference.

"Reporting to the Fifth Lady."

"Everything has been arranged properly. It is absolutely foolproof."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunyun kept her gaze forward.

"That is good."

"However, do you have enough manpower arranged? This matter is of great importance. If you need more hands, speak plainly at any time."

Her words barely ended when a smug grin spread across Pork Rong's features.

"Please rest assured, Fifth Lady."

"Those four have been following me to slaughter pigs and sell meat all these years. Some are skilled in blade techniques, while others are proficient in grappling. They have improved quite a bit on Shadow Island, so keeping an eye on a mere Long Tian is naturally not a problem."

"Even if they go to the Demon Race's territory, they won't face any obstacles."

At these words, Su Yunyun offered a faint nod at last.

"That is good."

"As you said, wiping out the Demon Race is indeed not a difficult task, but manipulating and controlling them is often much harder than eradicating them. We absolutely cannot let our guard down. You must keep a close watch at all times."

Her composed remarks unveiled profound insight and savvy. A mighty power like the Demon Race amounted to just a tiny pawn in her game.

Pork Rong found himself inwardly awestruck by her.

Realizing this fearsome prodigy was only a student of the Mister, admiration and awe intensified on his visage. He quickly offered a deep bow.

"I will strictly follow the Fifth Lady's orders. I will definitely handle this matter flawlessly."

His words echoed away as Pork Rong's form faded soundlessly.

Alone in the spacious refined chamber, Su Yunyun remained still, peering at the teeming crowds below from the window. It felt like beholding a miniature realm, sparking eager gleam in her eyes.
