921 14.197 Last Violet Star – The Beginning of War
There is no bottom and no end to the abyss. There is neither a beginning nor an end. Nothing except darkness exists. Yet, there is only one entity from it in this place, and he is the master of the void and the proprietor of this territory. He is invincible in strength and unbeatable in the dark. He is still the most alone person who have ever lived, though. The rest of the monsters lurking in the shadows can never be acknowledged as living things because they were only considered to be simple entities to serve the ruler, therefore the abyss can only accept him as the only living thing.
His real ancestry is a mystery. He is without beginning or end. Yet because he was born imperfect, no one understood who he was until after he fell in love with the Abyss. He was drawn into the Void and, after being assured that he would return, accepted his fate as the ruler’s replacement. Who would have imagined he was forgotten, though. In the end, he spends his time in the Abyss as a form of solitary confinement while experiencing excruciating pain that eventually rendered him numb. He fell into slumber to get through his nearly infinite torment in the darkness since his heart was filled with everything the Abyss could possibly be negative about.
Finally, they were both together and side by side outside the Abyss. But... Can thousands of years feelings of extreme guilt and resentment be erased in an instant?

Dragon Nest, Upper Realm...
It had been accomplished by the White Dragon Empress and Golden Dragon Emperor to return their cherished son and daughter-in-law to their home. Because they discovered Heilan right away in such a nearly destroyed realm, their travel to the Mortal Realm was straightforward and brief.
Regrettably, Heilan and Hou Longqing have yet to awaken despite the ice-breaking. A few weeks had already gone in the Upper Realm, where time ran more quickly than it did in the Mortal Realm, and the Dragon Race had been on edge ever since their prince had come home.
The Dragon Empress and Dragon Emperor called a few physicians and even the prophet. This time, Heilan and his chosen one were both in human form, and the Dragon Royalties also made an appearance. While the Dragon Emperor is known as Dracul, which means Hell, the Dragon Empress is known as Alina, which means bearing the light. These were their names.
The Dragon Empress, Alina, was pacing nervously. Her son and daughter-in-law haven’t woken up ever since they thawed the ice that had held them captive. They were very shallow breathers, as if they would cease breathing at any moment.
.....
“What’s wrong with them? How come they haven’t woken up for 2 weeks now!?”
“Her Highness, please calm down! Let the prophet check. The doctors say they can’t find anything wrong with his highness. But for the Little Lord Dragon Consort they said... his soul is injured but they couldn’t find the reason why.” One of the Dragon officials said.
The Dragon Emperor frowned when he learned that his daughter-in-law had a wounded spirit, and when he noticed a providence in his son’s body that was not intended to be there, he thought something had gone wrong.
“Honey, I don’t think things are as easy as the doctor indicated. Let’s wait for the Prophet to come out.”
The Dragon Empress, Alina, nods in agreement with her husband’s remarks and awaits for the prophet to emerge from her son’s room. The Dragon Emperor helped her while waiting outside the chamber with his wife. Yet he was able to deduce what had transpired in the Mortal Realm. The dragon prophet eventually emerges a few hours later.
The Dragon Emperor, Dracul asked, “How was it, Prophet?”
“The Dragon Prince is okay. His ascension is quite forced but... the Providence of the Human Realm had protected him during his Tribulation. What is surprising is that even though the Dragon Prince is a Dragon the luck of all human race had accepted him as their own. It seems that his partner is the current Human Emperor and... he made a sacrifice to give the Providence to his highness together with a part of his soul to avoid rejection. The soul of the human emperor was the catalyst that allowed Human Providence to not harm his highness.” The Dragon Prophet explained.
The Dragon Emperor asked, “The Providence won’t harm my son then how’s the situation of my daughter-in-law?”
“As for the Dragon Consort, he... his situation is weird. He is supposed to die after the transfer of the providence but... an unknown power kept him alive. His broken soul was pierced into his body and kept in to avoid reincarnation. Such a thing... not even the Immortal Emperor is capable of doing such a thing.”
The Prophet went on to explain why His Highness and his companion were in slumber. He made an effort to break through the force holding the Dragon Consort’s soul, but all that happened was a reaction that nearly turned him into ice. There is no possibility a God would exist with such ferocity and wickedness. Except for one.
Alina, the Dragon Empress ignored the providence and focused on her children’s well being instead, “I don’t care about the Providence you guys are worrying about. I wanted to know when my son would wake up and how to heal my daughter-in-law’s soul injury?!”
“Tell this Empress, since my son is not in danger, I want to ask how to heal my daughter-in-law.”
The Dragon Empress’ voice and expression conveyed the intensity of her remarks. She knows that dragons are devoted to their chosen spouse, thus it is obvious to everyone that she is concerned about the partner of her son. They would decide to end their own lives if their companion passed away. Death and life are one and the same for the dragon race.
The Dragon Prophet spoke, “There are a few Divine herbs and pills that can heal a soul. Moreover, those who owned them were all exalted beings no one can just meet. The Immortal Empress is one. But I’ve seen her give all of those kinds of things to her youngest son.”
The White Dragon Empress and Golden Dragon Emperor both had solemn looks on their faces. Nobody in the Upper Realm hasn’t heard of the notorious son of the Immortal Couple. the cruel and peculiar Deity who rules the Underworld. He engaged in endless battles with many species, destroying them until they vanished.
He was dreaded by all races, even Gods and Demons. Although being the strongest of the three worlds, the Immortal Emperor’s youngest son is more terrifying than the others. the Overlord of the Underworld and the God of Punishment. He doesn’t care about strangers. To his foe, he is more vicious. The only exceptions were his loved ones and people he cares for.
The Dragon Prophet spoke, “The Youngest King of the Hei Regal Clan. His highness, King Wuan. To ask his favor you have to pay for much more that you can repay. He is never been kind to others unless you can ask someone from his family.”
The Dragon Emperor says, “I think... I have to pay the Immortal Emperor a visit.”
“No. Not him. Go to the Mortal Realm, His highness King Wuan is there,” said the Dragon Prophet.
The White Dragon Empress, Alina, asked in shock, “Why is he there?”
“His Dao Companion was reincarnated in the Mortal Realm. He had been there ever since he was released from the Purgatory.”
“Husband, let’s go to the Mortal Realm.” Alina, the White Dragon said.
The moment Dracul, the Golden Dragon, was ready to speak, someone unexpected entered the discourse. One of the two who was meant to be sleeping finally awoke. Half of their chat was overheard by Heilan, the Black Dragon, while he slept, and he eventually opened his eyes.
Heilan says, “I will be the one to descend. I know where King Wuan is.”
“Son!” calls Alina and Dracul are a surprise and joy. Finally the son they’ve lost for years had returned to their side.

Mortal Realm, Western Territories...
It had been a day since the Imperial City had been destroyed. At the boundaries leading to the Western Lands, where Devil Fennu and Jin Baihua stood in front of a clear barrier enclosing this area of land, the Devil once more assembled the Demon Race and brought them there.
These two individuals’ eyes show hesitation. To enter this country is to advance toward their graves. Jin Baihua is firmly grasping the Devil’s hands and unable to do anything except display his dread as the Devil was able to accept him for who he was.
Devil Fennu grips Jin Baihua’s hand back and says, “Don’t worry. I’m here.”
As predicted, Devil Fennu once more assaulted the barrier, just as he had done with those in the Imperial City. Only a Devil like him with True Immortal Stage Cultivation is capable of removing this barrier. Who would have thought that the barrier in the West Territory would be shattered with just a little touch from his fist? He was anticipating hitting the barrier surrounding this territory a few more times than he did at the Imperial City.
CRACKLES!
Devil Fennu, Jin Baihua, and the whole Demon Race were stunned by the spectacle of the barrier breaking. Even Ye Zihao, who was sitting on the throne, was somewhat shocked but simply raised an eyebrow before snorting. He was aware of what this occasion involved and didn’t give a damn.
“H-How could this happen... Why?” questioned Jin Baihua.
Devil Fennu also appeared perplexed, but for some reason he wasted no time in ordering the Demon Race to rampage across the area in front of them even if he is confuse.
“Go! Eliminate everything in the path!”
GROOOAARR! ROOOAARR!!
The leader of the demonic herds, Devil Fennu gave the commands for countless Demons to advance in a herd, but this time he chose to fly above with Jin Baihua instead of attacking directly to observe the spectacle. The two of them eventually realized why the barrier suddenly shattered so easily when they witnessed the nobles who had fled the Imperial City and were camped outside the West City being devoured by demons who had invaded the land.
Devil Fennu trembled in such cruelty and mumbled, “No wonder the barrier around the outskirts of the West was destroyed that easily. If the creator wishes for the barrier to be broken, of course it can be broken. He wanted to use us to kill these humans who had offended him. His Highness King Wuan was never the ally of the Human Race. He is an insane God who does whatever he wants.”
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Crimson Cloud Peak...
In the hanging hammock swing where he and his twins were taking a siesta, Hei Anjing laughed lightly. Unknown to the others, his family was having their naptime in peace. One of them had covertly authorized a few individuals outside the city to die.
“Heh~”
In front of West City’s entrance gates...
In front of the great clans’ disciples, Yun Huaxia was waiting. The Lu Brothers, Lu Er and Lu Yi, the Bai Qiyin and Bai Lili descendants, and Jin Shiyan, a Jin Clan survivor, were all standing in front of him.
The sight of hell is taking place outside the gates. Bloody, screaming, and snot-covered nobility from the Imperial City were hammering the barrier encircling the city. To protect their own life, they would even shove and toss their own people. Such a scenario exemplifies the lowest point of humanity. No person can dispute that that was a harsh reality. Humans are cynical and greedy.
The majority of the human race was endowed with these traits.
“You plebeians! Save me, I will give you money! I have lots of it. AHHH!!”
“Fuck you! Why don’t you allow us to go in!? Murderers!!!”
“AGGHH! We should have killed that Devil’s spawn right from the beginning and none of this would have happened!”
“Chun Hongyun-Jun. Chun Hongyun-Jun, stop your own race!!! I curse you. I curse your whole family!”
Yun Huaxia observes these repulsive human behaviors while maintaining a neutral countenance. At first, he felt that A’Wuan was being a little too cruel by allowing the demons to torment these filthy humans. Yet, upon hearing the repulsive remarks, all goodwill and sympathy he had once had for these filth vanished altogether.
“These guys deserve it.”
