The Gathering of Forces
Zhuge Qingchan is also a woman, so she can naturally perceive Luo Li's subtle emotions.
That kind of… resentment, like a little girl pouting in frustration.
It feels strange.
Is there something between Luo Li and Ling Ye?
Ling Ye only smiles faintly. After all, he did that kind of thing to her.
Of course, she's angry with him.
Speaking of which…
"My Lord, why did you give her this privilege?" Zhuge Qingchan asks in a low voice. "Is it because… she's the number one beauty in the heavens and the world? Is it because she's beautiful?"
She doesn't know why, but seeing another woman treated specially by Ling Ye stirs something inside her—a faint, unexplainable jealousy.
Even though she knows she has no right to meddle in Ling Ye's affairs…
Even so, she can't help but have a little girl's emotions of her own.
Ling Ye simply smiles and replies, "Because she is… special."
That's all he says.
Zhuge Qingchan pouts slightly.
What kind of answer is that?
She's special?
So just because she's beautiful, she's special?
Zhuge Qingchan doesn't press further, swallowing her slight jealousy.
She also wants to be special in Ling Ye's heart.
But… it seems she isn't qualified yet.
Sure enough, being beautiful is an advantage…

Primordial World – Outer Edge
More and more forces are joining the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
Some of them are allowed to enter the Primordial World, but most are turned away.
Among those denied entry are five Extreme Gods, including Chu Yuntian, the Lord of the Stellar Empire.
They all stand outside, frustration evident on their faces.
To think that they, dignified and powerful beings—top existences across the heavens—would be stopped at the gate.
And not by Ye Tian himself.
But by his overly cautious younger sister.
It's humiliating.
Yet, knowing that Ye Tian is destined to become the future ruler of the Chaos Universe, an existence of the Boundless Realm, they can only endure it.
Because once the Boundless Realm emerges, the Extreme God Realm will no longer stand at the peak.
It will fall… just below one person.
Hum…
Suddenly, the void at the edge of the Primordial World trembles with a deep resonance.
A massive distortion in space appears, twisting reality itself.
Then, through the rift, a mighty army emerges.
At the forefront stands Ren Fenchen, and behind him…
A billion-strong force.
The Blood Shadow Demon Army.
Or rather, what used to be the Blood Shadow Demon Army.
Now, they are something else.
They can finally breathe freely. Ling Ye had truly let them live.
He really hadn't killed them.
And now, they have the chance to take refuge in the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
Ling Ye must have looked down on them.
Did he really think they weren't worth his attention?
No matter what, they are alive.
If they join the Heaven and Earth Alliance, if they side with Ye Tian… if they can help kill Ling Ye…
The future will be bright.
Otherwise, all that awaits them is death.
The arrival of Ren Fenchen and his army instantly shakes the entire universe.
Inside the Primordial Realm, the guards at the entrance immediately report it.

Inside the Primordial Realm – Heaven and Earth Alliance Headquarters
Ye Ziwei and the senior leaders of the Heaven and Earth Alliance sit in the grand hall, discussing their final preparations.
There is less than a month left before the decisive moment.
Suddenly, a guard rushes in, his voice urgent.
"The Blood Shadow Demon Army is approaching! And it looks like… the entire army has been mobilized!"
The hall falls silent.
Ye Ziwei's expression darkens, and she stands abruptly.
The Blood Shadow Demon Army… the entire army?
The senior leaders of the Heaven and Earth Alliance all exchange uneasy glances.
Why now?
Why would they mobilize at this moment?
Are they planning to attack before the expected battle?
Ye Ziwei wastes no time.
"Prepare for battle," she orders.
"Yes!"
The entire Heaven and Earth Alliance immediately springs into action.
All their allied forces mobilize at once.
A massive army assembles in perfect formation.
Then, they march toward the entrance of the Primordial Realm, ready to confront the invaders.
Ren Fenchen stands with his army outside.
Meanwhile, the forces that had been denied entry—Chu Yuntian, the Stellar Empire, and others—also emerge from their small worlds to witness the unfolding event.
Every gaze turns toward Ren Fenchen and the countless warriors behind him.
What is happening?
Why is the Blood Shadow Demon Army here now?
Are they launching a surprise attack against the Heaven and Earth Alliance?
But Ye Tian hasn't left seclusion yet.
And Ling Ye isn't here either.
What are they planning?
Inside the Primordial Realm, at the entrance, Ye Ziwei stands at the head of the Heaven and Earth Alliance army.
Behind her, countless warriors stretch into the horizon.
Facing them, the former Blood Shadow Demon Army stands firm.
Despite their recent betrayal, their sheer numbers still rival the Heaven and Earth Alliance forces.
Both sides stare each other down.
Tension fills the air.
A storm is brewing.
