Winter Snow Thousand Cat Lanterns

The vast Dream Sea, atop layers of miracles and magnificence, where Transcendents walk the ascendant path guided by their ultimate longings as if by beacons.
The supreme beings wielded power, their greatness shining in all directions, ascending to divinity.
But even deities were not the ultimate. They too struggled for greater perfection and ideals, endlessly, within the Void Origin, above the Dream Sea.
"So... Your Majesty Ybur, as the most powerful Slime in history, what exactly drives you to become stronger?"
Many years later, when faced with the question from a Heavenly envoy, Ybur, who by then stood at the zenith of the Dream Realm as the "World Devourer," recalled the afternoon just after his birth when the Creator had stuffed him down a golden toilet and flushed him into the sewers in one go...
After a long silence, he spoke with a heavy tone:
"It's the toilet. The golden toilet."
The envoy: "???"

I, a Slime, have also dreamed of becoming a great Demon King!

Ybur had learned a bit about the situation from train conductor Yodun on the way. Jiuxia had the Four Mountains Army—this "Yue," was not referring to mountains and rivers, but to the Spirit of the Fallen Beast Pathway. As a War God, Yue was widely revered by the military, and the Four Mountains Army was directly blessed by Yue, with each army possessing its unique legacy. The train was landing in the territory guarded by the Western Army of Jiuxia, commanded by General Jiang Lou, an old acquaintance of train conductor Yodun.


As to how Yodun became acquainted with him, that was another story...


"...When we first came to Jiuxia, we didn't know the situation here, and Jiuxia's Western Army didn't know us, mistaking us for Dark Demons or something like that, chasing and thrashing us relentlessly."
