"I'll definitely return safely. I promise!" Zheng-Fu declared, his voice filled with determination. All he wanted was to live happily with his family and loved ones.
Wooooooosh!!!
After bidding farewell to his mother and father, Zheng-Fu returned to his denomination. Only half a shichen had passed. All the denomination elders, including those who had participated in the test, had gathered together in the main hall.
Wooooooosh!!!
Thump!!!
"Respect, Young Master!!!"
"Respect, Master!!!"
"Respect, Founder!!!"
As Zheng-Fu entered the denomination's main assembly hall and took his designated seat, everyone in the room stood and greeted him in unison.
"All right, everyone, you may sit down. I don't have much ti to speak," Zheng-Fu said, gesturing for them to sit since he did not have that much ti.
"Yes, sir!"
Noticing Zheng-Fu's serious expression, everyone obeyed without question. They understood that Zheng-Fu wouldn't summon them with such urgency unless it was a matter of great importance.
"I know many of you might be wondering why I called this urgent eting. So of you may know, but others may not. The reason is that I won't be here for a long ti. I have to go to the 'main world,' and it might take five or six years before I return," Zheng-Fu explained about the main reason he summoned everyone.
"In the five or six years I'll be gone, I sincerely hope that our denomination will thrive, remain strong, and stand tall so that no one can bully us. I hope we'll beco the number one denomination on this continent, a denomination respected by all, and one known for its justice that harms no one!"
"Young Master, rest assured! As long as I'm alive, I will never allow anyone to disgrace our denomination!" Dong-Kuang spoke first, his voice firm. As Zheng-Fu's loyal confidant, he was determined to fulfill Zheng-Fu's wishes.
"I'll do my best too. Five years isn't that long. When you return, your Big Brother will astonish you with the evolution of the Over the World, Beyond Heaven Denomination!" Hai-Dong chid in, unwilling to be outdone. As Zheng-Fu's sworn brother, he owed much to him and wouldn't let him down.
"We'll also do our best, Young Master!" Dan-Chun-Gu and the other confidants, who had followed Zheng-Fu since the beginning, pledged their commitnt. Despite their lack of exceptional talent, they were steadfast and diligent.
"We, the Ten Young Demigods Squad, will not disappoint Master either, sir!" Ba-Xie, leader of the Ten Young Demigods Squad, stood and spoke with unwavering determination.
"You should let go of your worries! Our Over the World, Beyond Heaven Denomination now boasts multiple Divine Emperor stage cultivators, as well as nurous Divine King stage cultivators. We've beco equivalent to a large, well-established sect. In fact, we are already the number one denomination on this continent. With such a strong foundation, I estimate that within the next five years, no other sect will rival us!" Elder Hai-Tu shared his opinion, stating that in his view, within the next five years, the Over the World, Beyond Heaven Denomination would undoubtedly beco the number one denomination and the leader of all the great sects across the land.
"It's true as the old man said, Founder! You should let go of your worries about the denomination! This denomination is no longer small; it has grown imnsely. We now stand above other sects in this world, and everyone aspires to join us. With royal power also supporting us, who would dare offend our denomination?" Elder Yan, the great flute master, added, echoing Elder Hai-Tu's sentints.
"Yes, sir, Founder! We owe everything to you. Without your leadership, we wouldn't have reached this point. Rest assured, we will do our utmost to protect and strengthen this sect!" the newer elders declared, expressing their gratitude and determination. Since this denomination gave many things to them, how could they let anything happen to it?
"Thank you, everyone! There's one more thing I want to ask. After this, I'll work to create a connection between the Human Tribe and the Semi-Monster Tribe. As the founder of the Over the World, Beyond Heaven Denomination and as the Monster King's son-in-law, I ask you to help bridge the relationship between these two tribes. It may sound shocking, but I want this to beco a reality!" Zheng-Fu expressed his second request, a vision to nd relations between the two tribes. Even though it might be difficult, it doesn't an it's impossible. Moreover, since the Monster Kingdom is currently suffering heavy losses, Zheng-Fu wants to help his father-in-law...
"If that's your wish, we'll comply. We'll treat them fairly. To foster a good relationship, we can start by accepting them as disciples in our denomination to build familiarity. Then we can gradually increase their numbers and transform In-See City into a hub connecting both tribes!" Hai-Dong suggested, outlining a potential plan.
"Umm… I agree with Big Brother. That's all I wanted to say. May you all return to your duties. Regarding the dinsional gate, I'll entrust it to Elder Hai-Tu and the Sorcerer Departnt for maintenance." Seeing that no one objected, Zheng-Fu imdiately assigned tasks to everyone, including the creation of a dinsional gate for easier access...
"Yes, sir!!!"
"All right!!!"
As the eting ended, everyone dispersed to carry out their tasks, leaving only Dong-Kuang and Hai-Dong behind.
"We're going to the Hell Region. I'll take you to et my father-in-law, and together, we'll eliminate those bastards threatening the Human Tribe!" Zheng-Fu asked the two to stay because he planned to take them with him to the Hell Region. He had two reasons: first, to introduce them to King Duan-Jian of the Monster Kingdom; and second, to help wipe out as much of the Demon Tribe as possible before the ti he requested ran out.
"No problem, Little Brother!"
"I'll follow your orders, Young Master!"
"Mhm..."
One and a half shichen later, at the temporary royal palace...
Thump!!!
"Respect, Royal Son-in-Law!" A demon guard stationed at the entrance imdiately clasped his hands and greeted Zheng-Fu respectfully. His gaze shifted curiously toward Hai-Dong and Dong-Kuang, silently wondering about their identities.
"They're with . Now, where is my father-in-law?" Zheng-Fu noticed the guard's curiosity and introduced his companions.
"Oh! I beg your pardon, sir! The King is currently in a eting inside. Shall I…"
"No need! I'll go in directly. There's no need for prior notice," Zheng-Fu interrupted, raising his hand to stop the guard.
"Yes, sir!!!"
Inside the roughly reconstructed royal hall...
"Right now, the death toll exceeds one hundred thousand. That doesn't include the tens of thousands of cultivators who perished in the battle. If we don't find a way to resolve this, I believe…"
Creeeaaak!!!
Huh!!?
"Son-in-law?" The king exclaid as soon as the hall door opened, seeing Zheng-Fu enter. However, his expression quickly darkened, and his brows furrowed as he realized Zheng-Fu had not brought his daughter, Fu-Er, back with him. "What about my daughter? Where is she? Where is she now?" The previous questions in his mind vanished when he noticed her absence.
"She…" Zheng-Fu began but stopped, glancing around the hall. His look indicated he wanted privacy.
"Everyone, leave!" the king imdiately commanded.
"Yes, sir!!!"
"Everyone has left. Where is Fu-Er?" After ensuring everyone had left, King Duan-Jian turned to Zheng-Fu and repeated his question.
"She was taken by a mysterious beam to the main world. She may not have died. That's why I've co here today—to ask if there's anything you haven't told about her," Zheng-Fu explained what had happened to Fu-Er and inquired if the king knew anything he didn't.
"A mysterious beam, you say? About that... hmm! Yes, there's sothing related to the beam."
The king's expression shifted as he recalled sothing. Actually, when Fu-Er was born, there was a phenonon where a mysterious golden beam shone down on her body as well. However, at that ti, the King didn't think much of it, assuming it was rely a blessing from the heavens...
"If what my lord father-in-law says is true, then this beam is definitely connected to what happened. Just as she was about to die, that golden beam suddenly appeared and took her away," Zheng-Fu muttered, piecing the clues together.
"If she was taken by the beam, then it ans she's still alive. So why are you wasting ti here? Why not go to the main world and find her!?" the king asked, his understanding of the situation beginning to solidify.
"Even if I went now, it wouldn't help. The main world is far larger and more dangerous than ours. My current power and status there are no different from an ant's. That's why I wanted to spend so ti here handling a few matters. First, I've brought my two elder brothers to introduce them to you before beginning the plan to bridge relations between the two tribes. Second, I intend to wipe out as much of the Demon Tribe as I can!"
Huh?
"A plan to bridge the relationship between the two tribes and eliminate the Demon Tribe?" the king gasped, shocked by Zheng-Fu's reasons for delaying his departure. The first matter was sothing he hadn't anticipated, while the second was expected, given Zheng-Fu's vow of revenge, though he hadn't imagined it would happen so soon.
"That's right. I'll let you speak with my two elder brothers first. As for , I'll spend the remaining ti cleansing this land!" Zheng-Fu excused himself to carry out his plans and soared off before anyone could respond.
Wooooooosh!!!
Sigh…
Zheng-Fu had requested just one day, and now nearly half of it had passed. This left him only half a day to eradicate the Demon Tribe. Fortunately, the Hell Region was significantly smaller than the Holy Ancient Region, making it feasible to wipe out more than nine-tenths of the Demon Tribe in the remaining ti.
Three shichens later...
Slash!!!
AAAAH!!!
"Please! Please let go! I don't know anything about it. I don't…"
Slash!!!
AAAAH!!!
"No one can escape death. Rember, your deaths are because of your Demon Emperor. Hate him, despise him! If it weren't for him, none of you would have faced this fate today!"
Floating above the demon capital—the last remaining city—Zheng-Fu gazed down coldly. He had already killed so many demons that he'd lost count. In every village and town he passed through, he left no survivors. As he arrived in the capital, he continued his grim work, delivering death while declaring the reason behind his slaughter.

Roaaaaar!!!
Boooooooooom!!!
"It's finally over! How many have I killed? It doesn't matter. This is the fate I must bear. Heaven has destined to be a sinner, with my hands stained in blood!" Zheng-Fu reflected, feeling disconnected from himself. The act of killing felt strangely satisfying, even beautiful in its intensity.
"It's normal for a cultivator to face this. No one escapes the trials of bloodshed—it all depends on the circumstances," a familiar voice rang out. Turning, Zheng-Fu saw Elder Wan-Shi.
"Elder!" Zheng-Fu clasped his hands respectfully in greeting.
"The ti you requested is over. It's ti for us to leave. The others are waiting for you in the testing area. Whatever you're holding onto, let it go!" Elder Wan-Shi reminded Zheng-Fu that the path between the two worlds was closing soon. If they didn't leave now, it could be a long ti before the path opened again.
"I understand, but I need to take Big Brother and Brother Dong-Kuang back to the Holy Ancient Region..."
"I've already taken care of that for you. They've been sent back safely. You don't need to worry about anything. We can't afford to delay any longer. However, if you don't want to go, just say so. I won't force you. It's entirely up to you. If you're ready, step forward into the dinsional space. If not, step back." Elder Wan-Shi had handled Zheng-Fu's responsibilities, leaving the decision entirely to him.
"Thank you, Elder, for resolving my concerns! As for whether I'll go or not—I've already made my choice. I will go! No matter what, I must enter the main world. Zheng-Fu respects Master!" Zheng-Fu had already decided that he must go to the main world. The only reason he hadn't left yet was because Hai-Dong and Dong-Kuang were still here. However, upon learning that both had returned to the Holy Ancient Continent, his worries were eased. Without hesitation, he stepped forward into the dinsional space where Elder Wan-Shi was waiting.
"Good! Then, let's go! I'll explain the rules once we cross the path between the two worlds!"
"Yes, sir, Elder!"
Woooooooooosh!!!
'Goodbye, Father, Mother, Big Brother, Brother Dong-Kuang, and everyone. Watch over ! I will beco the greatest and strongest in the main world. Whether it's earth or heaven, I'll surpass it all. Until we et again!'
