Chapter 2476 The Divine Paragonʼs Resurrection

After leaving the Demonic Realm and returning to the Nine Heavens, Yuan swept the scene with a calm gaze.

”Huh…” he muttered before speaking out loud.

”I wasnʼt expecting such a magnificent crowd to welcome my return. Did you stinking fiends really miss me that much?”

”D-Divine Paragon?! Are you really the Divine Paragon?! I thought you were dead!” One of the demons there suddenly cried, his voice trembling with fear and disbelief.

A cold smile tugged at Yuanʼs lips as he responded, ”I guess life must have been quite comfortable for you bastards to have forgotten about this handsome face of mine.”

The demon in Yuanʼs grasp suddenly turned into a stone statue.

”Listen carefully, you cockroaches.” Yuan began speaking again, his voice cold and deliberate.

”I, the Divine Paragon, have returned!”

Then, he tightened his grasp that was choking the sealed demon, shattering it into countless pieces.

After a brief moment of silence, the demons snapped out of their daze and, without hesitation, turned to flee as if their lives depended on it, their faces twisted with absolute terror.

”Where do you think youʼre going?! Didnʼt you come here for me?!”

In an instant, a massive barrier was erected around them, imprisoning all of the demons before they could escape.

However, Yuan didnʼt completely seal them, merely restricting their movements.

The Demon Sealers stared at Yuan with gawking expressions on their faces, seemingly unable to believe what they were witnessing,

”D-Divine… Paragon…? Is it really you?” one of them finally asked, looking as though he were dreaming. Yuan turned to him in silence.

During the time he was unsealing the Demonic Realm, he had wondered whether the ʼDivine Paragonʼ should truly return after so long—especially when, in reality, that man had already died.

In the end, Yuan decided to resurrect the Divine Paragon, as it would help him achieve his goals with the most efficiency.

ʼIf I want the Demonic Realm and the Nine Heavens to live in harmony in the future, the Divine Paragon must return…ʼ Yuan thought inwardly.

As the pioneer of Demonic Sealing Techniques, the first leader of the Demon Sealing Clan, and the savior of the human race during the Demonic Era, there was nobody more qualified to unite demons and humans than the Divine Paragon.

After a moment of silence, Yuan nodded his head with a gentle smile on his handsome face.

”Sorry it took so long, but I have returned,” he said.

Unsure of what to say or how to react to the Divine Paragonʼs return, the Demon Sealers could only weep in silence, their faces smeared with tears and snot.

Eventually, one of them shouted at the top of his lungs, ”The Divine Paragon has returned!”

The others quickly followed.

”The Divine Paragon has returned!”

”The Divine Paragon has returned!!”

”The Divine Paragon has returned!!!”

Suddenly, one of the demons spoke in a puzzled tone, ”Why… Why are you coming out of the Demonic Realm?! I thought you sealed it after coming out of the place! So how the hell are you coming out of it now when the seal just broke?!”

It was a valid question, and even the Demon Sealers fell silent to listen to Yuanʼs explanation.

Yuan closed his eyes, giving the feeling that he was reminiscing about a distant past.

He spoke a few seconds later, ”Indeed, I sealed the Demonic Realm. However, after wandering around, I realized that a second entrance existed when I accidentally stumbled upon it.”

”Is that why you suddenly vanished and have never been seen since then?!”

”Does this mean youʼve been in the Demonic Realm this entire time?!

The Demon Sealers asked with dumbfounded faces. Nobody couldʼve ever imagined that the Divine Paragon would disappear to the Demonic Realm after sealing it.

”W-Wait! What about your legacy?! A Demon Sealer by the name of Yan Hara had claimed to have found your legacy! Does this mean sheʼs a fraud?!” One of the Demon Sealers from the Demon Sealing Grotto asked.

Yuan looked at him and asked, ”Does one have to be dead to leave behind their legacy?”

”Uh… no?”

”After sealing the Demonic Realm, I hid some of my techniques behind just in case something were to happen to me before I could eradicate all of the demons, or if the demons were to return long after I perish. That must have been found by this Yan Hara person,” Yuan said, pretending not to know her.

”I see…”

”Your Reverence, what about the Demonic Realm? Now that the seal has been undone, more demons will invade our world soon. We should reseal it as soon as possible.”

Yuan nodded, ”I was the one who undid the seal in the first place, so I will reseal it soon.”

”Anyway, letʼs go somewhere else to talk. I have a lot of questions about the current state of the world,” Yuan then said.

”What about the demons?” asked one of the Demon Sealers.

Yuan snapped his fingers, and every demon trapped within the Demon Sealing Zone instantly turned to stone, then crumbled into dust.

”What demons?” he remarked with a smile after casually eradicating thousands of demons in the blink of an eye, erasing any doubt that he was the Divine Paragon in the process.

The Demon Sealers could only stare in awe, looking like a bunch of children before their idol.

A moment later, Yuan created a temporary barrier around the Demonic Realm before leaving with the Demon Sealers.

Shortly after they left, more figures emerged from the Demonic Realm. It was Lev and the others.

”So this is his world, huh…?” Selena muttered, her eyes flickering with excitement and intrigue.

Helena and Angela also took in their surroundings, wearing the same mix of curiosity and wonder.

”Letʼs not linger and leave before more people show up,” a certain voice spoke, snapping the Transcedents out of their daze.

”Right, but where do we go?” Selena asked.

”Follow me,” said the Demon Annihilation Sword, leading five figures away from the entrance after opening a hole in the barrier.
