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!

On the Snow Plain Train, Ybur slowly shook himself awake.


In the past two days, the train was about to leave Bachuan and arrive at Guoxia.


The legend goes that once in ancient times, in Paradise, the slaughter of Ancient Beasts—an event known as the "Exorcism" in Jiuxia—occurred. With a single slash, the celestial severed the head of an Ancient Beast, and such was the force that remained in that stroke, it split the earth and carved out what became the three-hundred-mile-long Great Rift Valley, giving rise to Guoxia. Today's Guoxia Province is centered around that very rift, forming a narrow strip of land. Looking at it on the map, if Bachuan were a round cake, Ybur thought, then Guoxia would look like a... uh... youtiao?


Looking around, Afu Jiala was indeed sitting by the window, poised in deep contemplation.


Ybur rolled over like a ball and nudged Afu Jiala from behind, "What are you thinking about?"
