After leaving the Demonic Realm and returning to the Nine Heavens, Yuan swept the scene with a calm gaze.
"Huh…" he muttered before speaking out loud.
"I wasn't expecting such a magnificent crowd to welco my return. Did you stinking fiends really miss that much?"
"D-Divine Paragon?! Are you really the Divine Paragon?! I thought you were dead!" One of the demons there suddenly cried, his voice trembling with fear and disbelief.
A cold smile tugged at Yuan's lips as he responded, "I guess life must have been quite comfortable for you bastards to have forgotten about this handso face of mine."
The demon in Yuan's grasp suddenly turned into a stone statue.
"Listen carefully, you cockroaches." Yuan began speaking again, his voice cold and deliberate.
"I, the Divine Paragon, have returned!"
Then, he tightened his grasp that was choking the sealed demon, shattering it into countless pieces.
After a brief mont of silence, the demons snapped out of their daze and, without hesitation, turned to flee as if their lives depended on it, their faces twisted with absolute terror.
"Where do you think you're going?! Didn't you co here for ?!"
In an instant, a massive barrier was erected around them, imprisoning all of the demons before they could escape.
However, Yuan didn't completely seal them, rely restricting their movents.
The Demon Sealers stared at Yuan with gawking expressions on their faces, seemingly unable to believe what they were witnessing,
"D-Divine… Paragon…? Is it really you?" one of them finally asked, looking as though he were dreaming. Yuan turned to him in silence.
During the ti he was unsealing the Demonic Realm, he had wondered whether the 'Divine Paragon' should truly return after so long—especially when, in reality, that man had already died.
In the end, Yuan decided to resurrect the Divine Paragon, as it would help him achieve his goals with the most efficiency.
'If I want the Demonic Realm and the Nine Heavens to live in harmony in the future, the Divine Paragon must return…' Yuan thought inwardly.
As the pioneer of Demonic Sealing Techniques, the first leader of the Demon Sealing Clan, and the savior of the human race during the Demonic Era, there was nobody more qualified to unite demons and humans than the Divine Paragon.
After a mont of silence, Yuan nodded his head with a gentle smile on his handso face.
"Sorry it took so long, but I have returned," he said.
Unsure of what to say or how to react to the Divine Paragon's return, the Demon Sealers could only weep in silence, their faces sared with tears and snot.
Eventually, one of them shouted at the top of his lungs, "The Divine Paragon has returned!"
The others quickly followed.
"The Divine Paragon has returned!"
"The Divine Paragon has returned!!"
"The Divine Paragon has returned!!!"
Suddenly, one of the demons spoke in a puzzled tone, "Why… Why are you coming out of the Demonic Realm?! I thought you sealed it after coming out of the place! So how the hell are you coming out of it now when the seal just broke?!"
It was a valid question, and even the Demon Sealers fell silent to listen to Yuan's explanation.
Yuan closed his eyes, giving the feeling that he was reminiscing about a distant past.
He spoke a few seconds later, "Indeed, I sealed the Demonic Realm. However, after wandering around, I realized that a second entrance existed when I accidentally stumbled upon it."
"Is that why you suddenly vanished and have never been seen since then?!"
"Does this an you've been in the Demonic Realm this entire ti?!
The Demon Sealers asked with dumbfounded faces. Nobody could've ever imagined that the Divine Paragon would disappear to the Demonic Realm after sealing it.
"W-Wait! What about your legacy?! A Demon Sealer by the na of Yan Hara had claid to have found your legacy! Does this an she's a fraud?!" One of the Demon Sealers from the Demon Sealing Grotto asked.
Yuan looked at him and asked, "Does one have to be dead to leave behind their legacy?"
"Uh… no?"
"After sealing the Demonic Realm, I hid so of my techniques behind just in case sothing were to happen to before I could eradicate all of the demons, or if the demons were to return long after I perish. That must have been found by this Yan Hara person," Yuan said, pretending not to know her.
"I see…"
"Your Reverence, what about the Demonic Realm? Now that the seal has been undone, more demons will invade our world soon. We should reseal it as soon as possible."
Yuan nodded, "I was the one who undid the seal in the first place, so I will reseal it soon."
"Anyway, let's go sowhere else to talk. I have a lot of questions about the current state of the world," Yuan then said.
"What about the demons?" asked one of the Demon Sealers.
Yuan snapped his fingers, and every demon trapped within the Demon Sealing Zone instantly turned to stone, then crumbled into dust.
"What demons?" he remarked with a smile after casually eradicating thousands of demons in the blink of an eye, erasing any doubt that he was the Divine Paragon in the process.
The Demon Sealers could only stare in awe, looking like a bunch of children before their idol.
A mont later, Yuan created a temporary barrier around the Demonic Realm before leaving with the Demon Sealers.
Shortly after they left, more figures erged from the Demonic Realm. It was Lev and the others.
"So this is his world, huh…?" Selena muttered, her eyes flickering with excitent and intrigue.
Helena and Angela also took in their surroundings, wearing the sa mix of curiosity and wonder.
"Let's not linger and leave before more people show up," a certain voice spoke, snapping the Transcedents out of their daze.
"Right, but where do we go?" Selena asked.
"Follow ," said the Demon Annihilation Sword, leading five figures away from the entrance after opening a hole in the barrier.
