Lith examined the karmic threads with Destiny Seer, finding no connections to the Asura Princess despite his desire for vengeance tied to his grandfather. In tense negotiations, she offered him the entire Asura God Clan, its treasures, and even herself as concubine in exchange for breaking their curse and sparing a successor. Sensing her feigned desperation through her calm emotions, Lith confronted her harshly, declaring that she had mistaken the encounter for a true negotiation.

"What does... His Highness mean?" With a stifled breath, the Asura Princess questioned.

Still holding her under suppression, Lith answered, "Do you think I covet the Asura treasures?"

Lith shook his head, appearing weary from handling such foolishness.

Shock was evident on the Asura Princess's face. Her mind raced frantically to comprehend the unfolding events.

The Asura Princess couldn't tell if Lith was clueless or just arrogantly dismissive.

Who wouldn't desire the Asuras' treasures?

They stood as a enduring powerhouse, second in global ranking, for heaven's sake!

Originating from beyond this realm, the Asuras naturally carried countless secrets and Upper Realm treasures.

Was this man really discarding them so casually?

Didn't he aspire to ascend realms and advance further on the cultivation path?

He was truly a fool!

The Asura Princess blinked repeatedly while gazing at Lith.

Lith met her stare with an emotionless face.

"Please... let me explain about our treasures..."

Shaking his head once more, Lith stated, "That's your second error. You believed that an irresistible offer put the discussion under your control."

A frown appeared clearly on the Asura Princess's features.

No longer interested in her expression, Lith released her.

He stepped ahead and rested against the table's edge, facing her directly.

A teacup materialized in his grasp.

After sipping, Lith went on, "I actually enjoyed the bit where you offered your heads. Too bad you ruined it by demanding I exert myself to lift your curse, plus leave a successor behind."

Smiling faintly, Lith shook his head.

For some reason, the Asura Princess sensed an ominous foreboding, as if her life's greatest catastrophe loomed.

Setting down the teacup, Lith rested his hand atop the Asura Princess’s head, stroking it softly while saying, "Your schemes were bold yet clever. Contacting me with that proposal was smart, but sadly..."

Ancient sigils emerged in Lith’s eyes, swirling into the depths of his pupils. The royal amethyst hue shifted to intense crimson.

Her head buzzed intensely. Hairs rose on end, and an urge to flee overwhelmed the Asura Princess!

Danger had arrived!

The utmost catastrophe was unfolding!

"Noooooooo!" screamed the Asura Princess.

Patting her head, Lith instructed, "Quiet down."

Before another cry escaped, her eyes rolled up and foam bubbled from her mouth.

In mere seconds, such a stunning beauty devolved into a grotesque sight.

Pity filled Lith's gaze as he regarded her. "Sadly, I refuse to let you all thrive post-curse removal. Nor am I content with merely a successor. I demand every last one of you perish."

Though his words flowed casually, a bone-chilling tone permeated them. Listeners sensed the profound hatred and vendetta within.

Fei and Sylvia observed in silence. Their master had evolved into a far more ruthless and resolute figure.

Once he harbored resentment, no wealth or allure could sway him.

Physically and mentally, their master was advancing.

It appeared a binding restraint had shattered amid these events.

With keen fascination, the pair kept watching, while Roy nearly tore out his hair in frustration.

No one grasped the Asuras' depths better than him right now.

Their treasures were limitless! Unmatched anywhere in Shen Ze, incredibly scarce!

Lith's reasoning baffled him. Forsaking it all so easily? What drove him?

Those nearby sensed the Asura Princess's vitality ebbing away.

Death approached her.

With his hand on her head and eyes shut, Lith delved into her memories.

Four abilities passed from his mother graced Lith, including [Psych Puppetry].

This power enabled mind-reading and puppet transformation.

Against a high-cultivation foe like the Asura Princess, puppeteering proved tough. Yet, by invading enemy territory and presenting herself vulnerably, she handed over the perfect chance.

Foolish to assume sealing her cultivation and offering all would sway foes for a slim future hope.

Others might have accepted such terms.

Warfare's brutality spared no one casualties; effortless victory tempted all.

Regrettably, she overlooked Lith wielding a proxy blade. No involved forces were his; Evure God Clan losses meant nothing to him.

Surrounded by beauties, carnal temptations fell flat too.

Wealth, power, authority—he wanted for none.

Vengeance's fire demanded he personally topple the clans.

Everyone tied to his grandparents’ demise must perish!

Via [Psych Puppetry], Lith gleaned vast valuable intel from her mind.

His grandfather was named Kalyndor, brother to the reigning King.

The King decreed his death personally, with no Royals dissenting—lover's taboo with outsiders warranted execution.

In time, Lith uncovered more, realizing the Asura Queen desired his curse-lifting aid.
