A Demon's Journey

After resolving the issue with the Thunderous Echoing Dominion God's clone, William and his wives decided it was time to depart from the Zhongxing Kingdom. Their objectives had been achieved, and the need for their presence had waned.

True to his promise, William arranged for four renowned King-ranked Alchemists and three King-ranked Array Masters to join Long Chen.

This support greatly pleased Long Chen, who expressed his gratitude to William for the valuable assistance.

In the Zhongxing Kingdom, Long Chen's progress, with William's assistance, soared to unprecedented levels.

Not only Long Chen but also Ren Yue and Zhan Xinyi experienced rapid growth rates that surpassed even Long Chen's remarkable advancement.

This remarkable growth was attributed to the exceptional cultivation techniques that Long Chen generously shared with them, enhancing their cultivation speed to extraordinary levels.

For Ren Yue, it was a supreme cultivation technique known as the Revolving Yin Merit Law. When William saw this cultivation technique, he was a bit startled because this technique had eaten up Ren Yue's old meridians and provided her with a set of new meridians that possessed divine talent.

Moreover, there seemed to be powerful abilities present within Ren Yue's new meridians that could probably only be unleashed by her since she cultivated the Revolving Yin Merit Law.

Comparing Ren Yue's cultivation technique to what their master Azaroth had granted Tiana, William acknowledged the significant power embedded within the Revolving Yin Merit Law.

However, he also noted that Ren Yue's potential didn't quite match Tiana's, as the latter possessed a unique and special physique that synergized seamlessly with her cultivation technique, facilitating an exceptionally swift cultivation journey. It was due to this reason that her cultivation had been abnormally quick.

On the other hand, Zhan Xinyi embraced the power of the Divine Storm Scripture. This cultivation technique empowered her to enhance her control over the Wind and Lightning Elements. Additionally, she could absorb and cultivate Wind and Lightning Essence Familiars, formidable allies in her battles.

Zhan Xinyi's potential mirrored that of Ren Yue, and her cultivation speed equaled her peer's rapid progress.

As for Long Chen, his chosen cultivation path led him to the Moonlit Phantasm True Scripture. Unlike techniques focused on raw power, this scripture delved into the mystic realm of illusions, offering a unique set of abilities.

As the trio delved into their respective cultivation paths, the synergy between the unique techniques and their wielders became increasingly apparent.

As the years passed, William and his wives embarked on a journey to traverse the world, focusing on connecting more Yin Veins to the Purgatory Realm using the teleportation array.

Their journey took them to various corners of the globe, where they harnessed the latent energies and channeled them through the network of Yin Veins, expanding the reach of the Purgatory Realm.

Meanwhile, Azaroth's loyal retainers diligently prepared their respective forces for the impending assault on the Great Qin Empire. Yrellea, leveraging the Misty Flower Pavilion's extensive political influence, orchestrated a diplomatic campaign to foster alliances and sow the seeds of conflict against the Great Qin Empire among the nations.

In the Empire of Qian Guo, Tiana strategically employed her Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect and the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect to incite conflict with the Great Qin Empire. Given the historical rivalry between the two nations, the brewing tension seemed par for the course.

In regions where William had successfully connected Yin Veins to the Purgatory Realm, Sargan took charge. Activating the teleportation arrays, he unleashed a formidable onslaught of demons and devils upon the world, creating chaos and unsettling the balance of power.

Ralph, the crown prince of the Woltensian Empire, rallied the entire beast race within his dominion to wage war against the Great Qin Empire. The call to ascend to the pinnacle of the world fueled the beast race's determination for conquest.

Drawing on his vast network and alliances, William strategically selected warriors possessing significant providence, all at the Emperor Ranked stage, to mount a formidable assault on the Great Qin Empire. Long Chen, not yet having reached the Emperor Rank, was excluded from the direct confrontation.

Within the Great Qin Empire, Noah, acting as one of their subordinates, led his Heretical Paladins into battle against the Empire of Qian Guo. Concealed behind the guise of allegiance, Noah's true objective was to eliminate the Saint Realm expert engaged in combat against the Empire of Qian Guo's forces.

Meanwhile, Laura's Elven Forest remained vigilant, adopting a wait-and-see approach. Positioned on the sidelines, the elves observed the unfolding events, ready to act according to the evolving circumstances.

Six years had passed since the grand conflict against the Great Qin Empire erupted, and the intricate scheme behind the perfectly timed assault remained veiled in the chaos of unfolding events. The rapid pace of developments left little room for contemplation, as nations found themselves plunged into the maelstrom of war.

Chronologically, the sequence of events unfolded as follows:

Empire of Qian Guo's Offensive:

The initial move was made by the Empire of Qian Guo, launching a forceful assault against the Great Qin Empire.

Great Qin Empire's Response:

The Great Qin Empire, in turn, marshaled formidable forces, including two Saint Ranked experts, to counter the unexpected aggression.

Alliances Unleash War:

The Pinhian Republic, Berian Kingdom, Granian Kingdom, and Feindesian Republic joined forces, collectively declaring war on the Great Qin Empire.

Borders Reinforced:

In response to the multi-front conflict, the Great Qin Empire fortified its borders against the combined onslaught of allied nations.

Demon Race Emergence:

A sudden emergence of the demon race across the bordering nations intensified the pressure on the Great Qin Empire, as these demonic forces advanced towards its territories.

Great Qin's Swift Response:

With strategic agility, the Great Qin Empire promptly reinforced its border defenses to counter the encroaching demonic threat.

Woltensian Empire's Declaration:

A shocking turn of events occurred as the Woltensian Empire declared war on the Great Qin Empire. The Beast Race's formidable forces, including Saint Ranked experts, were unleashed at the Great Qin Empire's borders, catching them off guard.

Providence-Manipulated Warriors Strike:

Adding another layer of complexity, warriors possessing great providence, manipulated by William, launched a relentless assault against the powerful experts of the Great Qin Empire.
