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 concluded its meditation and then shifted its attention to the situation of the Winged Serpent People for a while, when a fantasy unexpectedly sprouted in its mind.


"What if, just if the Winged Serpent People really are in danger and it goes up to help, only to find itself right in time for the start of Jiuxia's enfeoffment ceremony calling it to ascend the platform and be ennobled? What then?"


Ybur hesitated briefly, thinking that if it really came to that, the enfeoffment could be... somewhat deferred—its main worry was that the Dragon Emperor, in a fit of anger, might come over and take off its head.


After observing for quite a while and confirming that there were no mishaps, Ybur finally disengaged from meditation. As it awoke, it saw several officials and students from Jiuxia circling around it. Among them, a Gnoll hopped up and down and said, "You're awake? Can you open your mouth, please?"
