Just when Daemon Ancestor Forgotten Shore’s soul was about to collapse, he met Ragan. The former found Ragan highly appealing when he noticed Ragan’s treacherous and ruthless nature and half-daemon heritage.He then taught Ragan to summon daemons. He enticed Ragan by suggesting that successfully summoning the daemons was a great achievement. However, he warned that failure would mean Ragan could never change his life.Ragan struggled to gain respect in the human world due to his background. The daemons considered him impure, while humans were cautious of his daemonic heritage. Even dark immortals looked down on him. He thought it would be a great accomplishment if he could summon daemons.Daemon Ancestor Forgotten Shore, who held significant status among the daemons, could ensure Ragan's future success. The focus on summoning was intentional. Although Daemon Ancestor Forgotten Shore wanted to keep the process a secret, Ragan insisted on learning the details. He even threatened to ba
Ragan’s voice spread uniquely in frequency and volume until it reached the Daemon Domain. There, a blood-red eye noticed his voice. A massive head emerged, listened, and departed gleefully to report to its superiors.In the Daemon Domain, a strict hierarchy required reporting any event. Everything was reported to the family, then a course of action would be decided on by family elders, or reported to the tribe and decided by the tribal leader. Eventually, the upper leaders realized the signal originated from a domain they had failed to conquer twice. After brief communication among level eight and above daemon ancestors, they set out toward the spatial coordinates.The technology mastered by the daemons was beyond human comprehension. Their invasions relied on their ability to perform spatial jumps using coordinate points to form a spatial array. However, the daemons encountered limitations. High-ranking daemon ancestors could not pass through easily or had to pay a considerable pric
After two failed attempts, the daemons managed to establish contact with Daemon Ancestor Forgotten Shore, who, with the spread of daemonic energy, instructed them to be more covert in their next operation. They planned to use Spirit Peak as a stronghold, spreading daemonic energy gradually. While the central land immortal region was distracted by Immortals Alliance, they would fully infiltrate Spirit Peak and engrave the Daemon Domain's teleportation portal onto it.This would allow low-level daemons from the Daemon Domain to arrive continuously. These daemons, though often mindless slaves, had blood containing pure daemon lineage. Daemon Ancestor Forgotten Shore intended to use their blood to reinforce the teleportation portal and spatial nodes.Through concentrated blood sacrifices and continuous signals to the Daemon Domain, they aimed to solidify the spatial nodes and form a permanent spatial coordinate. Even if the operation failed, the Daemon Domain's army could keep coming to
On this day, a large city under the rule of Immortals Alliance was attacked by an unknown organization and quickly fell. All the immortals within vanished without a trace, all signs of battle were erased, and even level eight immortals could not discern what had happened.In the following days, more and more strange incidents occurred within Immortals Alliance. Although there was no concrete evidence, everyone knew it was the work of Heavenly Order.After several rounds of internal power struggles and interest bargaining, the radicals within Immortals Alliance defeated the conservatives and declared war on Heavenly Order. They accused Heavenly Order of various crimes and concluded that the upper echelons of Heavenly Order were controlled by daemons.Immortals Alliance sought to rebel, and Heavenly Order had been waiting for this moment. As the embodiment of justice, it was impossible for them to declare war on Immortals Alliance proactively.Although Immortals Alliance declared war
Through this great war, Immortals Alliance aimed to use the camaraderie of battle to unify independent immortals from all over, eventually formally establishing a faction. With this foundation, they could rival Heavenly Order, and the highest decision-makers would have the opportunity to advance.For Immortals Alliance, this battle only had benefits and no downsides. At worst, if they lost, they would disperse and return to being independent immortals.For Heavenly Order, this war was the result of their own complacency. After years of comfort and negligence, they had cultivated a formidable opponent or ignored the sentiments of independent immortals for too long, leading to this rebellion.Heavenly Order's intelligence network was unparalleled, with close ties to the maritime immortal region. Their decision-makers knew that the beast swarm this time was exceptionally fierce, potentially the most severe in a thousand years, making a retreat to the central land very likely. At that m
Thus, the conservative and pro-war factions within Immortals Alliance engaged in intense debates daily. The dilemma continued until the problem of the Daemon Domain's invasion emerged.Immortals Alliance then issued a warning. If they continued the fight, it would only benefit the Daemon Domain. If the Daemon Domain managed to establish a foothold, the situation would become even more dire. But if Heavenly Order decided to continue the war, Immortals Alliance would fiercely resist and retaliate.The decision-making body of Heavenly Order, composed of level eight immortals, was at an impasse. They could only report the situation to their elders. Ultimately, the level nine immortals would decide whether to fight or negotiate. The moment the report was made, it became clear to those involved that continuing the battle was no longer necessary.The level nine immortals were focused on the survival of their faction rather than its operational issues. With the Daemon Domain invading the hu
Ultimately, Adrian's journey was delayed, and he was nearly trapped in the beast swarm. These beasts could overwhelm him by sheer numbers. Despite having the Fear technique, he could not use it indefinitely and had no choice but to run.Adrian fled as fast as he could, reaching the Southern Forest in just half a month and the central land in another month. By coincidence, he was also heading toward Spirit Peak, just like the majority of the fleeing immortals.This was also a rule of the immortal region. Newcomers could not occupy the best resource places in central land. Hence, they tacitly agreed to gather at Spirit Peak, awaiting specific arrangements from Heavenly Order.However, when Adrian saw two clearly opposing groups acting separately from a distance, he felt something was strange. Not only he, but any immortal who knew a bit about central lands' customs felt curious. Some were even shocked as the central land had always been a highly centralized immortal region. Although t
They were unsure how long the invasion had been going on and had never sent anyone to investigate the situation.This made it difficult for the fellow immortals from the other immortal regions. It appeared to them that Heavenly Order deliberately did not want to share resources. Even at such a critical moment, they were still playing information games.However, the council of the Heavenly Order elders was in a tough spot. They had just arrived at Spirit Peak and were preparing to investigate the situation when they discovered the daemonic invasion. Thus, they genuinely did not know much either. Frustrated, the immortals from the maritime immortal region decided to discreetly seek information from Immortals Alliance.Though this was disrespectful to Heavenly Order, they had no other choices. By combining the information from Immortals Alliance and Heavenly Order’s council, everyone finally understood the sequence of events and wept, lamenting the misfortune of the human race."Befor
