True Man Situ urged preparations against a potential "Evil God" disaster, despite skepticism from some elders. Meanwhile, within the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation, Mr. Tu and hundreds of Golden Core Demons conducted a brutal ritual, sacrificing living beings to awaken and empower an Evil God idol. As a terrifying heartbeat echoed and a powerful divine thought began to manifest, Mr. Tu proclaimed the start of the blood sacrifice, offering the entire Qianxue State Boundary to the descending deity.

As if responding to Mr. Tu’s fervent plea and sensing the life force of all beings on earth, the true form of the Great Wilderness began its descent. A profound murmur, like the divine tongue of a True God, echoed near Mr. Tu’s ear. Though cryptic, it was clearer than anything he had ever heard. He trembled with sheer excitement, for this was his first time so close to the 'Divine Lord,' listening to its whispers. In that moment, his faith felt elevated. His voice cracking with emotion, Mr. Tu uttered, Trembling, "Send forth the Fetus!"

Eighteen Golden Core Demon Path Body Cultivators, adorned with Flood Dragon Monster Patterns and cloaked in the darkness of Demonic Qi, their muscles bulging and forms powerful, carried a colossal White Bone Throne. Each step was deliberate as they approached the Evil God altar. Seated upon this throne was a child, Yu Er. He was dressed in a ceremonial robe of black and red, his face pale, his eyes shut tight. The once innocent features were now tinged with an unsettling Evil Qi. His skin was pale, but the skin on his back was a stark dark red, as if Mr. Tu had peeled away his original skin and crudely 'stitched' on a new piece. This newly attached skin bore traces of blood and a crudely carved, dark blue dragon pattern. The Blood of Karmic Dragon, the Skin of the Azure Dragon, and an Immaculate Soul—this was the ultimate 'Divine Fetus' prepared by Mr. Tu for his Divine Lord.

The eighteen cultivators marched the White Bone Throne, bearing Yu Er, onto the altar before the statue of the human-faced, ram-horned White Bone Evil God. The throne offered Yu Er as a sacrifice, and Yu Er was poised to hatch the Divine Lord. Immediately after reaching the altar, the eighteen cultivators' heads exploded simultaneously, their blood and brains splattering the ground. As mortal flesh, they could not withstand the pressure of the Evil God’s nascent birth on its altar; their Sea of Consciousness shattered, their skulls burst, and they perished in an instant. The True God’s altar was no place for mortal bodies, not even Mr. Tu dared to step onto it. Their demise was predestined, yet it was all deemed worthwhile. Their souls, through their devotion, would transform into Demon Monsters and achieve eternal life within the Divine Lord’s kingdom. Their physical bodies served as the final offering, their flesh, bones, and organs meticulously refined by the altar and integrated into the Formation.

An ancient, malevolent will descended from the heavens, plunging into Yu Er’s Sea of Consciousness. Using his flesh as a womb, it began to incubate, preparing to 'break the shell' and be reborn. The Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation pulsed with surging Evil Power, emitting a roaring hum like the collective lament of all living things. Above, the sky bled crimson as clouds turned a bright red, the heavens becoming a vast sea of blood. Within this crimson expanse, a profound darkness coalesced. An astonishingly evil will was forming, like divine thought made manifest, exuding black amniotic fluid. Mr. Tu’s expression grew more fanatical, his Demonic Head companions mirroring his manic fervor.

But at that critical moment, seven points of starlight flickered above the horizon within the blood sea. Blue starlight descended in broad daylight, piercing the crimson expanse and striking the mass of evil thoughts. It passed through them, bore through the Grand Formation, penetrated the bloody Maze, entered the White Bone Hall, and finally illuminated the altar, falling upon Yu Er’s face. These beams of light, like a cage fashioned from the Seven Stars, began to suppress the Desolate Heaven Formation, hindering the Evil God’s incubation and obstructing the Blood Sacrifice ritual. This temporarily shielded Yu Er’s humanity from being consumed. The Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation! Mr. Tu was shocked and enraged. "To interfere with my grand design, to profane the Divine Lord—your crime warrants death ten thousand times over!" Just as he prepared to activate the Formation, his expression shifted. He pinched his fingers to divine, paused in stunned silence, then let out a cold laugh. "So, you intend to... link mother and son through the heart?"

A furious clash between the Righteous and Demonic factions raged on, obscured by the Blood Sacrifice Array and the Seven Stars, causing the flows of qi to become overwhelmingly turbulent.

Furthermore, with True Man Situ’s deliberate obfuscation, certain factors had remained beyond Mr. Tu’s calculations.

However, the current outbreak had laid these matters bare, exposing the qi flows.

Coupled with the resurrection of the Great Wilderness Master, Mr. Tu’s sinister perception had sharpened considerably, enabling him to penetrate True Man Situ’s machinations and gain a rough understanding of Qianxue’s faction’s strategy.

Mr. Tu’s countenance darkened, followed by a cold snort and a sneer. "Ignorant mortal vessels, unaware of the terror embodied by the Divine Lord…"

"Since you court death, then come. Free sustenance delivered to my doorstep—to refuse would be foolish."

"And furthermore…"

Consuming mother and child together would effectively sever karmic ties and preempt future complications.

"None shall prevent the Divine Lord’s advent!"

"Not even a celestial being!"

With glacial eyes, Mr. Tu advanced, positioning himself before the altar. He knelt upon a meditation cushion fashioned from human hair, performed three kowtows, opened the altar, and initiated his rituals, calling upon the Evil God’s Telekinesis to power the blood sacrifice.

Relying solely on the Blood Sacrifice Array would prove insufficient; his soul needed to be projected into the dreamscape to beckon the Divine Lord’s emissaries.

Subsequently, employing the shamanistic techniques of the Great Wilderness Blood Sacrifice Witchcraft, he would counteract the Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation. This action would diminish the celestial stars' suppression on the Divine Lord’s Telekinesis, thereby expediting the Divine Lord’s rebirth.

However, the Great Wilderness Blood Sacrifice Witchcraft necessitated the expulsion of Evil Thoughts from the body.

With the Primordial Spirit departing the physical form, even a minor error could invite severe repercussions.

He required a guardian for his corporeal body and also needed a lamp to safeguard his Primordial Spirit.

Mr. Tu kindled a Soul Lamp, then selected three trusted Demon Heads at the Late Golden Core Stage. He summoned seven formidable flesh-and-blood Demon Monsters, the life-bound companions of these Demon Heads, and issued his commands:
