[After advancing to the Supreme level, the Returning to Truth ability can not only bring back the states of an infinite number of living beings, but also the changed states of inanimate objects, including changes in their location! (Chapter 288)]
[You did not restore your own condition, but you did restore the storage ring and the displacement state of the Sea King's flesh and blood within it!]
[Back in the "present," you are still in the same place. Your physical body has never left the bottom layer of the Sunburst Belt, but the spatial ring on your finger has disappeared into thin air—or more accurately, it has been transported to a short distance away.]
The sea creatures below only sensed something was wrong. When they entered the area where the Sea Lord was, they only saw the chaotic environment you had brought back from your return to the True Realm, and the corpses of fish that could have served as witnesses.
[All the sea creatures who were in the same room as the Sea Lord when the incident occurred were killed instantly, their deaths gruesome, their flesh and energy completely drained, even their nutrients extracted—this was clearly the work of the Demon Race!]
The Sea Lord, who was originally in the dominant position, had vanished. The sea creatures on the periphery could only conceive of one possibility: he had been devoured by the intruding demonic pseudo-king, or taken away and eaten!
"Damn those demons, they've retaliated against us again!"
"Their demonic land will be completely destroyed in a hundred years at most; they are all stray dogs!"
"Lord Giant Claw died such a tragic death... What are we going to do now?"
"Speaking of which... wasn't there also a Sea Lord who fell to the clutches of the demons two years ago?"
"Yes, yes, I brought this news myself. His Majesty Dao Wudi (Daoyu), who had served me for hundreds of years, suddenly perished for no apparent reason. Everyone says it was the work of the demons. I dared not stay there any longer, so I fled to His Majesty Zhang Juzhao overnight... Sigh, I guess I'll have to find another place to stay."
[From the bottom layer of the Sun, you reach out and retrieve a spatial ring that was only half a second away from your hand, hundreds of miles away.]
Feeling the smooth outer shell of the space stone, you discover the extra takoyaki (octopus ball) inside and nod in satisfaction.
[Flying directly from the Sunburst Zone back to the human race, using future vision to avoid other creatures along the way, there was no possibility of being discovered.]
"Doing this while the demons are still around is definitely not going to work. Even if the demons don't deny it, they haven't been able to find any concrete evidence of them. Eventually, they'll find out that it's another race behind this!"
"But right now, a few false kings have indeed infiltrated the three races of humans, sea monsters, and demons, wreaking havoc. However, those demons are mostly killing those at the second or third realm, or even just ordinary villages and tribes."
"I only kill one Demon Lord or Sea Lord on average each year, which just adds to the kill count for those roaming demons!"
[Upon returning from this trip, you rubbed Bei Chenguang's head while sensing the five fourth-realm corpses in your spatial ring, thinking to yourself, "Killing in chaotic times is the hardest thing to investigate. Before the Demon Land is completely conquered, I need to find a way to weaken the fourth-realm members of the Demon Sea Clan as much as possible!"]
"But it would be best to have some human supreme beings also hide away, creating the illusion of their fall... to prolong the deception as much as possible, so I can hunt down more without arousing suspicion."
"After this public falling out, all that's needed is for the King of Destiny to clash twice through the Return to Truth contest, and humanity will be completely safe!"
"Only Xuanwu is missing."
"Father Yun, are you done yet?" Bei Chenguang couldn't help but ask. You've been rubbing his head for two minutes now; his neat hairstyle is practically a bird's nest.
"Oh, it's nothing, it just feels really nice to the touch. I want to knead it a little longer before adding more."
You gave a perfunctory answer.
By 3050, the number of human-controlled territories had increased to 900.
The demon race's resistance is weakening. Rumor has it that only about fifty pseudo-kings remain within the Demon Realm. Many have already fled the Demon Realm, hiding in the lower realms or other places, or even venturing into the Dimensional Belt to leave the Azure Domain.
In 3052, due to constant attacks on their rear from the four borders, most of the demon lords and sea lords of the demon and sea clans gathered together.
They decided to press their advantage, each sending thirty beings from the Fourth Realm to jointly destroy the remaining false kings.
[They also invited the human race to participate, establishing an agreement: territory would be divided based on contributions to the war, and if any race reneged afterward, the remaining two races would jointly attack them!]
Human: "..."
Yun Shou thought to himself: This time, the human race will most likely win the MVP award, taking over most of the remaining demon lands, and then the two demon sea races will go back on their word.
[Humans agree!]
One month later, at the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.
[One hundred Fourth-Rank Realm warriors against fifty Pseudo-Kings; the advantage lies with the combined forces of the three races!]
The false king was already the weakest among those in the same realm, and now he's about to be utterly defeated.
But instead of those false kings coming out to fight, it was the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons...
[Get up!]
[The demon race's last trump card is this colossal demon god's true form, exceeding 100,000 zhang in height!]
The remaining false kings entered various rooms of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, activating multiple joints and tissues of the true demon god's form.
"I'll take control of the head!"
"I'll control the left arm!"
"I'll control the claws!"
"I'll take control of the shell!"
"I'll control Jianjian!"
[The true form of this colossal demon god possesses terrifying combat power, exceeding that of a top-tier pseudo-king by more than half, and is eleven thousand times stronger!]
Of the existing four realms, only you can dismantle and collapse them through extreme micro-management.
But you didn't make a move because this wasn't a situation for you to intervene in.
"So, it's your racial trump card? You really think we didn't guess it?"
[Humans, demons, and sea creatures—the four realms, including you—shall all retreat.]
[From three directions and three angles in the sky, three true kings descended.]
[The Black Dragon, the Water Giant, and Jiang Yi.]
The three True Kings launched an attack from three different directions.
The demon race's last trump card was thus shattered.
The three true kings of the three races exchanged glances.
The venerable figures of the three races exchanged glances.
[Logically, everyone contributed equally this time, so does that mean the remaining two-thirds or so of the demonic land should be divided equally?]
[Impossible. Both humans and demons believe the sea creatures are unworthy.]
The demon race believes their Black Dragon True King is the most powerful and should therefore claim the largest share, while the human race believes their supreme ruler is the strongest, and they also have two human kings, so they should claim the most!
"The sea race makes up 20%, our race 45%, and the human race 35%!"
"The sea race makes up 20%, our race 45%, and the demon race 35%!"
[Water Giant God: "..."]
