Yu Zi Yu had specifically chosen a name for this unique trial ground: ‘The Divine and Demonic Breeding Ground.’

The term ‘Divine and Demonic’ naturally referred to Tier-5 True Gods.

‘Divine’ represented the True Gods of the universe—the Transcendents of the Myriad Races who had ascended to Tier-5.

Conversely, ‘Demonic’ referred to Void Creatures who had reached Tier-5, embodying the very essence of ‘Demons.’

Under Yu Zi Yu’s directive, the Void Continent contained only Tier-4 Void Creatures. Similarly, the strongest individuals from the other races present on the continent were also capped at Tier-4.

Tier-5s, as the core combat strength of any race, were exceedingly rare. Even for someone like Avril, hunting one down was no small feat.

As a result, the Void Continent was entirely devoid of Tier-5 True Gods.

The term ‘Breeding Ground’ implied ‘cultivation’. It was a place to nurture and develop Tier-5 Transcendents who would ultimately serve under Yu Zi Yu.

Looking across the vast starry skies, only Yu Zi Yu possessed the audacity to systematically ‘cultivate’ Tier-5 True Gods.

Others would not dare to consider such a venture. Not even Forces as strong as the Divine Titan Clan or the Angel Clan would entertain the idea of breeding Tier-5 True Gods.

Feeling quite satisfied with the name, a faint smile bloomed on Yu Zi Yu’s lips. “The Divine and Demonic Breeding Ground… I’m truly looking forward to seeing a batch of qualified Tier-5s emerging from it.”

Musing over this, Yu Zi Yu began to formulate a plan.

[Once Avril is back from her current mission, she would oversee the Void Continent and take charge as the Master of this ‘Divine and Demonic Breeding Ground.’ With her stationed here, everything will proceed as per my plans.] As these thoughts settled in his mind, without wasting another moment, Yu Zi Yu took a step forward.

*Boooooom…* Immediately, a deafening clap reverberated through the Void Space as ripples spread through space.

Subsequently, Yu Zi Yu figure disappeared from the Void Space.

…

Meanwhile…

On the Celestial Realm, Solar System, Milky Way Galaxy…

*Haaaa…* Exhaling a long, deep breath, Yu Zi Yu, now standing atop the highest peak of the Celestial Realm with his hands clasped behind his back, gazed down at the vast expanse below.

“Master… I have brought them.” A soft and respectful voice broke the silence.

Turning around, Yu Zi Yu saw an exquisitely beautiful Elf bowing deferentially before him. She was one of Yu Zi Yu’s maids, an ordinary Tier-3.

However, as a member of the Elf Clan, her elegance and beauty were unparalleled. Her exceptional appearance and demeanor had earned her a place by Yu Zi Yu’s side, arranged by Nine Tails.

Alongside her, dozens of other maids stood ready to serve Yu Zi Yu at a moment’s notice. Though their strength was unremarkable, they were all pure and well-trained, making them exceedingly reliable.

“Okay, I got it…” Yu Zi Yu replied with a slight nod, his gaze remaining fixed on the horizon.

Even without looking, his senses had already detected the three figures approaching in the distance.

Each of them was like a flickering candle in the night, their presence unmistakably bright and distinct.

These were the three prodigies who had emerged within the Demon Court over the past decade.

As the saying goes: ‘The world sees new talents rise with each generation, each shining for a few hundred years…’

Ten years was enough for new prodigies to mature and rise.

In this span of time, three individuals had far surpassed their peers, their talents even rivaled that of the older generation.

The first was the God-Devouring Rat, a peak Tier-4 Transcendent who was merely a step away from ascending to Tier-5. His hidden potential was so extraordinary that even Yu Zi Yu could not help but take notice.

The second was a bona fide Yokai, the very Yokai from Japanese Folklore. This golden-haired youth, nicknamed the Master of Spirits and Monsters, had awakened the legendary ‘Great Yokai’ Bloodline.

Of course, his true form was not as striking as his outward appearance.

In truth, this creature was a Nurarihyon, a sea-dwelling Yokai whose real form was said to resemble an elderly octopus with a bald, dome-shaped head. Even Yu Zi Yu himself was not entirely sure about this one’s true form.

After all, it was Yu Zi Yu’s first time meeting this enigmatic individual.

However, it was understandable too.

To rise to prominence in the Demon Court, where prodigies abound, and even earn the title of the ‘Three Brightest Stars,’ it would not be surprising if this individual’s true form turned out to be something extraordinary.

After all, the Demon Court now boasted prodigies from even the Dragon Clan and the Elf Clan. Yet they failed to rise to the top, and were firmly overshadowed by these three exceptional prodigies.

This alone spoke volumes about the terrifying strength of the Three Brightest Stars.

As for the last of the three…

Turning slowly, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze fell on a timid-looking girl standing not far away.

She appeared young, with shoulder-length chestnut hair.

What stood out, however, were the faint arcs of electricity constantly flickering around her.

Even with deliberate suppression, the boundless sea of lightning within her eyes could not be concealed.

She was the masterpiece of the Demon Court’s highest laboratory—a girl who could control lightning and high-voltage currents, electromagnetic waves, and all other forces related to electromagnetism at will.

What made her even more terrifying was the miniature Atomic Reactor implanted deep within her body by Steller Magneto.

In fact, this was not the first instance of an Atomic Reactor being integrated with a living being. Its immense destructive potential had already been demonstrated by Burning Godzilla, who, after merging with it, was capable of unleashing cataclysmic devastation.

Now, after Godzilla, this girl had perfectly integrated with a miniature Atomic Reactor, which had become akin to her second heart.

This made it clear just how frightening this fifteen-year-old girl was.

“Quinn…” At the sound of her name, the timid girl visibly flinched.

Moments later, she stammered nervously, “L-Lord…L-Lord…I…I’m here…”

Filled with tension and panic, which was clearly visible in her voice, she seemed to have lost control of the arcs of electricity crackling around her.

The crackling currents sizzled through the air, even tearing through space itself.

“There’s no need to be so nervous around me…” comforting the young girl, a rare act on his part, Yu Zi Yu teased her gently, “Your Brother, Magneto, is one of the people I trust most. If you’d like, you can think of me as an Older Brother too.”

“T-This… I…” Caught off guard, Quinn was at a loss for words, her confusion evident.

At that moment, the golden-haired boy standing beside her shot her a glance and whispered clumsily via telepathy, “Lord is offering to be your Brother—what are you hesitating for?”

“Uh…” Stunned for a brief moment, the fifteen-year-old girl seemed to realize what he meant. Hastily, she responded, “Yes, I… I understand, Lord…”

“Still calling me ‘Lord’?” Yu Zi Yu asked playfully.

“…Big-Bro… ther…”
