"Except for Ji'an from the Bronze Dimension, all Demon-Slaying Warriors from other dimensions should be withdrawn to Demon-Slaying Island to prepare for war." Elder Chang handed Xia Xiang's belongings to Bai Yu. "Have the other departments remaining in the Gold Dimension and Iron Dimension contact their leaders in Xia Xiang's name to participate in the Demon Realm War."

"Old Chang, that official won't be happy if we do this," Elder Qian said worriedly.

“If we don’t do this, we will die,” Elder Chang said calmly. “In his eyes, we are like ants, and we have no right to take sides.”

"But he'll find out, and he'll die even faster then." Elder Qian's tone was filled with unconcealed worry.

"He simply doesn't have time to know right now," Elder Chang said before leaving.

—Let's go back to the day Xia Xiang cooperated with the Demon Lord Diablo—

Back then, the silly Huaiying traded the greatest secret of the Divine Realm for the Demon Army. However, there was no need for that trade; at that time, the Demon Lord had already turned against Huaiyuan Chu and was planning to launch a war.

The Demon Lord thought he was clever and tricked Huaiying, but in reality, Huaiying was just using him to keep a secret.

Now the deepest secret is revealed to both the human and the demon, and they can both see the silence between them.

“I must say, your old man was quite romantic when he was young.” Diablo even withdrew the surrounding black mist. “But I think you’ve tricked me.”

"It wasn't me who tricked you! Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. It was clearly you and that silly Huaiying who tricked each other." Xia Xiang said speechlessly, "And what kind of good person are you? Playing the victim here!"

"But Huaiying's mom is really good at playing games. She knows the truth but pretends not to. Although she has one body, it feels like she has two boyfriends," Diablo sighed.

"Don't say that. Your main focus should be on your career. How can you sound so envious?" Xia Xiang frowned. "Also! You're not allowed to call Huaiying 'little idiot'!"

"Can't a 'tool person' envy other people's sweet romance?" Diablo retorted.

"Then where are you going to find another wisp of black mist to date?" Xia Xiang immediately retorted sarcastically.

"Stop talking!" Diablo's previously gathered black mist angrily dispersed, with red lightning crackling and flashing within.

Xia Xiang changed the subject, saying, "Regarding the conditions for cooperation, I have only one requirement: no troops can be deployed to the four timelines in the X quadrant within five years."

"You've got quite the nerve. What can you promise me?" Diablo asked, regaining his composure.

"Now that you're begging me, you'd better watch your attitude." Xia Xiang raised an eyebrow and said, "According to Huai Yuan Chu's plan, your Demon Realm will be destroyed along with the twelve timelines of this universe. Do you still want to make demands?"

“I said from the beginning that I didn’t want to live anymore. Do you think I was afraid?” Diablo sneered. “Rather than living a life worse than death, being a tool, it’s better to just die.”

“You’re not afraid of death, but it’s very shameful,” Xia Xiang said. “The demon lives to fight for his pride. If you’re killed by Huai Yuan Chu like this, it will be very shameful.”

The previous ruler of the Demon Realm was the Demon Lord, while Diablo, the Demon Lord, operates on the same principle as his clones. However, both of them believe themselves to be the true ruler. But the Diablo in this universe is the weakest, seemingly on the verge of death every day while plotting a massive invasion of the twelve dimensions...

Diablo: "...Deal..."

——

Xia Xiang left the reset Fire Dimension and went to the Divine Realm. The buildings there were still the same as before, but there were far fewer people around, making it seem particularly desolate.

“Father, you are right.” Xia Xiang stood in the center of the empty hall and said to Huai Yuan Chu at the head of the table, “I understand your good intentions. Since the current state of the Twelve Dimensions is because of me, I will take full responsibility.”

"Destroy the twelve time dimensions and the Demon Realm, and recreate a completely new world."

Huai Yuan Chu raised his eyes and secretly sized her up, then said with a look of relief, "A Ying, your father is doing this all for your own good. Your brother and the rest of your brothers and sisters are all gone. I just want you to come back to my side."

“We can go back to the simple pastoral life we ​​had before. After all, Father is not a god and cannot bear to lose you one after another again.”

Xia Xiang pretended to comfort him, then took out a wooden box and handed it to him.

"This is what you couldn't get back then, and I've found it."

Huai Yuanchu was taken aback, then slowly took the box, his breathing becoming heavier, and slowly opened it.

Inside was a white sphere of light.

"Are you sure? Did you open it and check it?" Huai Yuanchu asked nervously for a moment, feeling a bit flustered.

“No, these aren’t memories related to me, so of course I can’t see them,” Xia Xiang said frankly. “But I put everything in the ring my mother gave me, and it took me a long time to find it.”

"That's good." Huai Yuanchu breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief, his tone as normal as an ordinary person's. "These are your father and mother's memories. You are a child and cannot see them. Although there are no restricted images, this is our privacy."

"Of course, I respect other people's privacy," Xia Xiang said obediently.

"Then Ah Ying, will you stay with me in the Divine Realm for a while longer?" Huai Yuan Chu said politely, though he was somewhat unsettled.

"No, Father." Xia Xiang was a little confused, but she still put on a well-behaved and sensible facade and refused. "I haven't recovered from the backlash from last time. I plan to go back to Demon-Slaying Island to cultivate."

"Alright," Huai Yuanchu nodded, "Take good care of yourself."

"Yes," Xia Xiang replied with a frown.

Huai Yuan Chu had no time to pay attention to her right now, and his breathing time had finally come.
