Earth was only part of the equation.

Elysia, as the Demon Court’s Second Heaven, also needed a guardian.

With this thought, Yu Zi Yu turned his gaze towards Slytherin nearby.

Slytherin, who inherited the Bloodline of an Eternal, had undergone a metamorphosis on Elysia, reaching Tier-5 and becoming the most dreaded monster lurking in deepest, darkest corners of the world.

Living off the fear he induced, Slytherin continuously grew stronger through terror. Such an existence should be the darkest and most dreadful of all monsters. However, now…

“Slytherin, I hope you can guard Elysia…”

*Heh heh…* With a slight grin, the eight Dragon-like heads of Slytherin glanced at each other and burst into ironic laughter. “Who would have thought that I, the most feared creature in Elysia, would one day take on the duty of protecting it.”

“If you don’t guard it, who will?” Teased Golden Monkey nearby. “Remember, it’s precisely because the creatures of Elysia fear and dread you that you can grow stronger while doing nothing! If Elysia were to be destroyed and no one is left to spread your ’terror,’ even if your strength does not weaken, you’d never progress any further…”

Slytherin’s eight heads nodded in agreement, baring their fangs in amusement.

Creatures like him were truly bizarre. He grew by feeding off others’ fear. If Elysia were indeed destroyed, he would face significant trouble.

With this in mind, Slytherin agreed, “Very well, Master. I shall protect Elysia with my life.”

“En…” Yu Zi Yu nodded slightly, reassured.

Slytherin was deeply hidden and far more complex than he appeared. Especially after connecting with the God of Dreams in the deepest part of Elysia’s World of Emerald Dream, Slytherin’s power had experienced a qualitative leap.

He had even collaborated with that God of Dreams to create a Dream World.

Yu Zi Yu grinned, somewhat curious about Slytherin’s true power now.

However, now was not the time to investigate further.

Having arranged guardians for Earth and Elysia, Yu Zi Yu’s thoughts turned to the Third Heaven—the Celestial Realm.

With the Celestial Realm intended as the Demon Court’s primary base in the open, Yu Zi Yu felt assured that, along with Osmanthus’ protection, it would also have Nine Tails, Sarcosuchus, and others stationed there.

With so many Tier-5 True Gods guarding it, no ordinary force could hope to challenge it.

Even mighty powers like the Titan Star Domain and the Angel Star Domain would tread carefully.

After making the necessary arrangements, Yu Zi Yu did not delay any further.

*Boooooom, boooooom, boooooom…* His Spiritual Energy surged as vast vortexes appeared in the skies of the Nine Realm with thunder.

“Now, I have opened the passages of the Nine Realms… whether you choose to relocate or venture out, you are free to do so… They will remain open for ten days, I hope you all take care of everything during that time…” After saying this, Yu Zi Yu’s consciousness slowly withdrew into his True Body.

Rather than watching the reluctance in the eyes of the various Mutant Beasts, Yu Zi Yu preferred to devote himself to cultivation, turning a deaf ear to the world outside.

“Master…” A gentle voice called out as Nine Tails, who had followed Yu Zi Yu for years, could not help but show a glimmer of emotion in her eyes.

In that moment, a shimmer could be seen around the corner of Nine Tails’ eye. However, before the tears could form, a fierce flame ignited at the corner of her eye.

*Booooom…* A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Nine Tails as she stepped on the air, striding towards the sky, her figure radiating a powerful presence.

“Let’s go. During this time, let’s split the Demon Court in two and ensure everything is in order, sparing our Master unnecessary worry.” Her voice was calm yet carried an undeniable majesty befitting that of a queen.

Hearing her words, the numerous Mutant Beasts exchanged glances and their Spiritual Energy surged in unison, as if in tacit agreement.

“Yes, Elder Sister.”

“Yes, Lady Nine Tails.”

…

With a unified response, the Mutant Beasts such as Brewmaster, Bull Demon, and White Tiger scattered in all directions.

Gradually…

In the depths of the Realm of Life, only a few figures and a Towering Tree remained, its branches swaying gently as green leaves occasionally fell.

It seemed to be both sighing and reminiscing.

“Master, you’re reluctant to leave, aren’t you?” Sensing Yu Zi Yu’s feelings, a graceful woman with flowing green hair and a stunning face knelt down, picking up a leaf that had fallen before it could fully wither.

[Although his powers are boundless, even Master can shed leaves like any ordinary tree. This is a normal cycle of growth. However, dropping leaves before they fully withered indicated that Master’s heart is far from calm…]

*Haaaaaa…* Heaving a sigh, Yu Zi Yu slowly awakened as he noticed the approaching Elf Queen, Fredrica. After a moment, he stated with some reluctance, “I’m going somewhere this time without knowing when I’ll be able to return… there is indeed some reluctance in my heart…”

“Reluctance is only natural, as Master cherishes those he loves…” Fredrica continued, “But there is no need to worry, Master. With the strength of the Demon Court, we can stand tall in the Cosmos…”

“Indeed.” Yu Zi Yu nodded slightly in agreement.

The Demon Court’s strength was not weak, rather it could even be described as powerful.

Even without him here, it could still reign supreme in the cosmos. Moreover, Yu Zi Yu’s absence would serve as a test.

And if anything went wrong with the Demon Court in his absence… then when he returned, though he would exact revenge, he would also close his heart, deciding no longer to involve himself in matters of power or influence.

Just then, noticing something amiss, Yu Zi Yu looked at Fredrica, whose aura was slightly unstable, and asked with concern, “You’re about to break through, aren’t you?”

“En.” Fredrica nodded slightly, a radiant smile gracing her face as she replied gratefully, “Thanks to your guidance, Master, reaching Tier-5 is only a matter of time…”

“This is all due to your own efforts,” Yu Zi Yu could not help but smile as he spoke.

Fredrica was already a renowned powerhouse in Elysia. Even before she swore loyalty to Yu Zi Yu, she was a fearsome Demigod at the peak of her power.

With the occasional guidance she received from Yu Zi Yu, she benefited immensely.

Not to mention, Fredrica’s natural talent was impressive, ranking among the top ten in the Demon Court.

Therefore, her breakthrough was only a matter of course.

In fact, not only her, Mermaid Queen, Elsa, was also nearing her own breakthrough.
