The Laughing Demon, Zǔ Zhòu, who had plunged the Nine Heavens into despair, met his demise by defying the Laws of the Dao. However, fate intervened. Transmigrated into a new body millions of years later, with his forbidden bloodline still bound to his soul, he seeks to live this new life as he did before, stopping at nothing, even if it means destroying the Heavenly Dao itself!
Upon reaching the milestone, he paused, his gaze falling on a familiar figure sprawled on the steps ahead.
Hè Jun lay there, drenched in sweat, her chest heaving as if the weight of the entire world pressed down on her.
Despite her pitiful state—her clothes soaked through and her face contorted in sheer exhaustion—she stubbornly clawed at the steps, inching forward with trembling hands.
"Hmm~ don't you think you should give up? You're too weak~," Feng Shen taunted.
He ascended a few more steps, closing the distance to where the Ninth Princess was slumped, her fiery determination dimmed but not extinguished.
Feng Shen came to a halt beside her, his figure casting a shadow over her trembling form.
