The Azure Dragon, the Soaring Purple Flood Dragon, the Void Elf, and now his True Body— the Immortal Tree. They were all growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yu Zi Yu alone already possessed the power of three Tier-6 Transcendents.

Excluding his Void Elf Form, which was still lingering at Tier-5, the other three Forms all held the fearsome strength of Tier-6 Transcendents.

This was the foundation of the Demon Court, and also the source of Yu Zi Yu’s confidence in establishing the Demon Court.

In the past, he had hesitated, fearing the myriad races. Now, however, he was calm and assured, for his strength was enough to suppress everyone and everything.

“Now, it’s time to step beyond this starry sky and see the more splendid colors of the universe…” Murmuring softly, Yu Zi Yu slowly raised his gaze toward the stars.

…

At that moment, as if something came to mind, Yu Zi Yu suddenly spoke, “Demon Phoenix, can you see the future of the Demon Court now?” With a playful chuckle, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze shifted to the corner, where a few figures still stood.

One of them was a majestic and beautiful black bird, adorned with several black feathers that resembled a Phoenix..

Demonic Phoenix was a magical creature capable of foreseeing the future, and was also the Commander of the Sky Legion of Misty Mountains. Under her leadership, the Sky Legion had become a force feared across the stars.

Its Vice-Commander was none other than Undying Blood Raven.

Right now, these two were quietly standing atop a spirit tree, silently waiting.

However, Yu Zi Yu had yet to assign them any specific positions.

In addition to Demonic Phoenix and Undying Blood Raven, Yu Zi Yu had not arranged positions for Dark Tiger, Light Butterfly, or the other Elemental powerhouses either.

This was because they were all Legion Commanders, each with their own armies under their command. In a sense, this was the highest authority, equivalent to being a General of a country.

Naturally, Yu Zi Yu did not need to give them any additional arrangements. Moreover, Yu Zi Yu had already granted the Ten Great Divine Beasts enough authority.

Together with the assistance of Ling Er, Little White, and Osmanthus, he believed the entire Demon Court would be well organized.

Military and government were separated, each operating in their own system.

The Ten Great Divine Beasts ensured the smooth operation of the Demon Court, while the Legion Commanders expanded the territories of the Demon Court.

The two systems—one focused on internal affairs, the other on external expansion—worked well together.

On the other hand, Yu Zi Yu’s Apostle—Magneto, and others like him, were members of the Heaven Strategic Pavilion—a division specially created for him.

The Heaven Strategic Pavilion, in simple terms, was a research laboratory. However, calling it a laboratory seemed too plain for the Demon Court, so it was named Heaven Strategic Pavilion instead.

Apart from the Heaven Strategic Pavilion, there was also the Divine Armament Hall, where Old Ninth—Brewmaster, forged weapons, and the Blood Sea, which was responsible for detaining criminals.

As for the Void Prison, where even the Gods had been exiled to, it needs no further explanation.

A complete and terrifying power structure relied on many smaller components.

These smaller components were a testament to the Demon Court’s strength.

Only by being strong in every aspect, covering all fronts, could the Demon Court become even more formidable.

…

At this moment, hearing Yu Zi Yu’s inquiry, the distant Demon Phoenix’s eyes flickered slightly.

*Boooooom!* Instantly, a deafening clap reverberated as scenes began to flash through her mind.

After a brief moment, with a hint of a smile in her eyes, Demonic Phoenix responded with a laugh, “Master, I cannot say, nor should I.”

“I see.” Yu Zi Yu let out a light chuckle, feeling satisfied.

[It seems the future is still worth looking forward to. At the very least, Demonic Phoenix has not foreseen any imminent danger; otherwise, her expression would have been different.]

As for Demonic Phoenix’s words, ‘I cannot say, nor should I,’ Yu Zi Yu naturally understood.

Revealing the Heaven Secrets could be perilous. If it was not absolutely necessary, it was best not to disclose them.

Besides, Yu Zi Yu was merely asking out of curiosity.

…

*Haaaa…* Heaving a long deep breath, Yu Zi Yu swept a gaze across his surroundings. He looked to see if there was anyone he had missed.

After a moment, as if he had noticed something, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed.

“Flathead and Armored Wild Boar…” Muttering to himself, a trace of regret appeared on Yu Zi Yu’s face.

Flathead, the Honey Badger and Armored Wild Boar were once part of the three Generals of Misty Mountains, alongside Golden Monkey. However, now, it was quite apparent that Flathead and Armored Wild Boar had failed to keep up with the upper echelons of Misty Mountains.

Currently, their strength was not even enough to hold the position of the Three Great Generals. They could not even compare to some of the beings who had recently joined Misty Mountains.

Thus, Yu Zi Yu could not appoint them as Great Generals of the Demon Court.

After all, the title of Great General symbolized the highest level of strength within the Demon Court, to a certain extent.

It represented the Demon Court’s image.

If a Great General’s strength could not command respect, it would tarnish the Demon Court’s reputation. Therefore, Yu Zi Yu chose to overlook the former three Generals of Misty Mountains and instead elevated Golden Monkey to the position of Demon Court Demon Master.

As for Flathead and Armored Wild Boar…

At this moment, sensing Yu Zi Yu’s gaze, the usually fearless Flathead began to avoid eye contact.

“Flathead…” At the soft call of his name, Flathead, who had been lazily lying on the back of Armored Wild Boar, suddenly straightened his face. Immediately after, he raised his gaze…

“I will save the position of Great General for you…” At this point, Yu Zi Yu briefly paused, before continuing, “If one day your strength is sufficient for the role, then come back…”

His calm voice carried a rare tone of encouragement.

After his words fell, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze shifted to Armored Wild Boar nearby, “And you too, Armored Wild Boar…”

“M-Master…” Both Flathead and Armored Wild Boar clenched their jaws as a deeply moved look blanketed their faces.

To reserve the title of Great General for them was an immense honor. They knew that the Demon Court was now brimming with powerful figures. Even Demigods were considered ordinary. Only Tier-5 True Gods could be called strongest powerhouses in Misty Mountains. And only Tier-5 True Gods could truly secure the position of Great General. Yet now, their Master was saving the position for the two of them…

“I…” Flathead’s claws tightened, making a cracking sound, his face teeming with bitterness.

After a moment, as if making a firm decision, Flathead suddenly turned around, walking toward the exit of the Realm of Life without looking back.

Yu Zi Yu did not ask any further questions, nor did he want to. He just watched silently.

Flathead was the most rebellious and had the greatest pride. Only through this could he be truly motivated.

As for Armored Wild Boar, Yu Zi Yu could only apologize. He truly could not keep up with the main forces anymore. In the future, he would live out his days in the Realm of Life.

Treasures like the Tree Heart or the Elemental Steel Heart were, after all, limited. Yu Zi Yu could not use such treasures to change the fate of every one of his subordinates.

*Haaaaa…* A sigh escaped him, filled with indescribable regret and sorrow.
