After Yan Zhizun proved powerless, Bei Chenguang led you to find more than ten other Zhizun.

[Your interpersonal relationships are almost as good as yours back in the Heavenly Demon Palace.]

"Tsk, there's still a gap."

However, without exception, all of them were invalid.

[After hearing your description, one of the Supreme Beings stated: Unless one is a True King of a special realm, even the King of the Century cannot remove the Demonic Egg from your body.]

The Demon Egg, the culmination of millennia of research by another faction of the demon race, binds to and fuses with a person's life force upon implantation, much like killing them—it's irreversible.

[To retrieve it would be like bringing the dead back to life—an impossible task.]

The Supreme Beings weren't particularly talkative, but thanks to the unseen propaganda of numerous demons and traitors, the news quickly spread across a significant portion of the human territory.

Everyone knows—Yun Shou, the once-proud human prodigy, has been crippled!

Those below a certain level don't know detailed information; they don't know the specifics of the Demon Egg, but they at least know that Yun Shou is already in a half-demon transformation state!

[Unless they transform into demons, they will never advance in this life; and once they do transform, they will become enemies.]

[There are all sorts of people: those who feel sorry for you, those who jointly petition the Emperor to intervene on your behalf, those who secretly slander you, and those who urge you to willingly die for the greater good...]

The human race's leadership didn't choose to eliminate you to prevent future troubles. Although the second faction of demons is still an enemy of humanity, at least they are focused on "breaking free from their destiny." Even if you are forced to transform into a demon, it's not with the intention of unifying the Azure Domain.

[But you truly have no further development value, and the resources poured in have returned to normal levels. You're not dissatisfied with that; the previous multiple rounds of training were already a gain.]

[At least it's not like other novels where the protagonist has to give back everything they've gained once they fall on hard times.]

[It wasn't until King Fook reimbursed that you started to lose your composure. That was when they gave you that amazing shopping coupon that offered a 300,000 RMB discount for purchases over 500,000 RMB.]

[Jin Zhizun: The Extreme Path Flower should be given to those who can use it.]

"I'm so angry!"

[The Supreme Beings say: You'd better stay away from the Human-Demon War Zone and the Human-Monster War Zone right now. For your safety, stay in the human rear and find a quiet job.]

[You're thinking, "Is this sending me to the retirement home? This used to be the life you wanted most, but now... sigh, I'll come back to help you after Xiao Guang surpasses the Supreme and becomes the King of the Century."]

[Before you retire, the human race's high command requires you to do a live stream (with a 30-second delay) to properly explain the cause and effect of the matter to the public who have been concerned about you for over a year, and to clarify the slander.]

However, there's no need to discuss topics like "the military race" and "escaping fate." Discussing information that goes too far would be pointless and could even cause unnecessary disturbance.

In short, the live stream has begun. In front of you is a "computer" formed from living golden spirit patterns. It is adjusting the camera and screen angles, and the live stream will start in three minutes.

[Before the live stream, Jinling chatted with you: "Yun Tianren, there are many people online who are criticizing you and don't understand you. Do you want me to help you block the comments?"]

You paused for a moment, your face darkening, and said, "You must have very high permissions, right?"

"That's right, Yun Tianren."

【"box!"】

Jin Ling remained silent, and a small figure appeared on the screen shaking its head: "No, Yun Tianren, this violates our prohibition."

You scoffed, your underlying logic surprisingly ethical: "Then delete the unfriendly comments and bullet screen messages, ban them, and block them!"

"That's a good option."

During the live stream, the chat and comment sections were completely harmonious and friendly, with not even any homophones or insults appearing.

Even encrypted malicious messages were detected and deleted by Jin Ling.

"This webmaster is amazing!" You see a flood of praise and sympathy, and think to yourself, "Controlling the comments in the backend is so satisfying."

After the live stream, you withdrew from the front lines, sincerely hoping that you would also be ignored during the Holy War between humans and demons.

A few days later, Chu Heshang turned down a very important task and came to visit.

"Senior Yun, you can't leave!" he cried sorrowfully. "You are Senior Yun! How can you be reduced to this state? You must be able to find a way to reverse the demonic transformation. If the Supreme One cannot act, then accumulate enough battle merits to ask the King of Men (King of the Century) for help!"

"...Has my imposing figure been etched into the depths of this kid's soul ever since I made my move yesterday?"

"Especially after being the leader of the 'Yunyang Three Heroes' for several years, and having a precipitous lead over you, you worship me madly every day, wanting to catch up with me and walk alongside me, right?"

"Hakim, you bastard!"

"You're absolutely infatuated with me!"

Yun Shou was helpless. His personal charm was too great, so it was his fault and he couldn't blame Chu He for being hurt.

[Chu Heshang's access level is still relatively low, and he is unaware of the existence of the "Overlord Demon Egg".]

To this, you can only cruelly refuse: "My body is already exhausted."

[Chu He sheds tears: "Didn't we agree to be the Three Heroes of Yunyang for life?"]

Your heart aches, yet your face remains as cold as a knife: "I have never felt happy being one of the Three Heroes of Yunyang!"

"All I ever wanted in my life was to lie down and relax, and now—it's perfect!"

Chu He knelt down and hugged your leg: "Please don't give up, Senior Yun, I'll do anything!"

"You really are someone who only thinks about me!"

[You're soft-hearted, so you told him the truth. Although Chu Heshang is now a Celestial Being, due to a previous opportunity, his "Mountain of Flames" Sacred Body evolved once before breaking through to the third realm, becoming the "Sea of ​​Blazing Flames" Sacred Body.]

[The Blazing Sea Holy Body is equivalent to the "Five-Element Battle Body"!]

[Such a prodigy, if he doesn't die young, will surely become a top hegemon of the human race in the future, or even a supreme being. If you tell him this in advance, there shouldn't be any problem.]

In 2991, you opened a Veteran's Barbecue in the human territory of Dragon Ridge.

"Burning and grilling, you can rest assured of the veteran's strength!"

"This is a demon prey personally hunted by Chu Heshang, one of the Two Heroes of Yunyang, a Celestial Being with a Sacred Body. How about a piece?"

"What? You're asking why only two of the 'Three Heroes of Yunyang' are left? Where did the other one go? Sigh... Well, let's start the story of the third hero from my own experience..."

You're bragging to your customers, and halfway through, someone walks in.

A puddle of water flowed in, transformed into a human shape, and hugged you tightly.

"Waaaaah... It's all my fault."

[Xi Xi wept, tears falling, only to melt back into her body the next moment: "If I hadn't exposed you, saying you had a sacred body, you would be perfectly fine now! Nothing would have happened to you."]
