Yu Zi Yu, realizing the fearsome intelligence gathering ability of the First Tower of the World, felt a twinge of unease crept into his heart, adding another layer of wariness toward the First Tower of the World.

[Compared to the top Major Clans, a pervasive force like the First Tower of the World is even more troublesome to deal with. If they were to inadvertently uncover any traces of a connection between the Demon Court and the Void Clan, then…]

*Hooooooo…* Yu Zi Yu took a long, deep breath, trying to suppress the rising worry in his heart.

Currently, he did not have much leeway to deal with the First Tower of the World. Besides, the First Tower of the World had always been shrouded in mystery. Even Yu Zi Yu had no idea where their headquarters were located.

Also, it seemed this organization had not discovered anything substantial about them yet. Otherwise, the information brought by their intelligence network would not merely be intelligence—it would be the call to mobilize for war.

[You’d better not discover anything…] Yu Zi Yu coldly snorted in his heart, as a hint of killing intent surfaced on his face.

If the First Tower of the World truly uncovered something, Yu Zi Yu would spare no effort—even at the risk of exposure—to obliterate them entirely.

And the consequences of such actions… Well, those weren’t something Yu Zi Yu was willing to dwell on right now.

*Haaaaa…* Heaving a sigh, Yu Zi Yu suppressed his thoughts and, channeling his Spiritual Energy, erased the intelligence in his palm.

Then, he slowly raised his gaze, looking toward the Elf Queen and the Mermaid Queen, who had been waiting silently in the corner.

“Go inform Nine Tails and the others to come.”

“Understood, Master,” responding in unison, Fredrica’s and Elsa’s figure gradually faded away.

Shortly after their departure…

*Swooosh, swooosh…* One stream of light after another streaked across the horizon, rapidly converging.

“We greet the Supreme Lord…”

“We greet the Supreme Lord…”

…

A chorus of respectful voices rang out.

This had been one of Yu Zi Yu’s instructions: he should be addressed as ‘Supreme Lord’ instead of ‘Master’ in public settings.

After all, figures like Nine Tails, Sarcosuchus, and Golden Monkey now held esteemed positions.

To preserve their dignity, even titles had to be adjusted.

Originally, Yu Zi Yu intended for Nine Tails, Sarcosuchus, and others to address him as ‘Sir’ or ‘Supreme Lord.’

However, before he could finish his sentence, Nine Tails had already addressed him as ‘Supreme Lord.’

Though it was a small difference in words, the intent was similar. In a sense, it was also a gesture that preserved Nine Tails and the others’ pride.

Thus, with a faintly bitter smile, Yu Zi Yu accepted the title ‘Supreme Lord.’

“Supreme Lord, may we know the reason you have summoned…” Breaking the silence, Golden Monkey, serving as the Demon Master, stepped forward and asked.

“I plan to lead the army to attack the Angel Clan…” Before Golden Monkey could finish, Yu Zi Yu stated plainly.

The moment Yu Zi Yu revealed his plans, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to freeze.

Nine Tails, Sarcosuchus, and even Golden Monkey exchanged puzzled glances, as if doubting their ears.

“Supreme Lord, are you… certain?” With doubt etched across his face, Golden Monkey asked again.

“I’m certain,” nodding slightly, Yu Zi Yu affirmed calmly.

Attacking the Angel Clan was inevitable. It had been no easy task to discover the nurturing grounds of the Imperial Artifact, especially now when the weapon was in a weakened state. And even if it were to awaken, Yu Zi Yu still had means to counter it.

In other words, Yu Zi Yu had a real chance in stealing the Imperial Artifact, and it was not low.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Missing it would mean it might never come again.

Once the Imperial Artifact fully recovered in the future, unless Yu Zi Yu achieved Eternity, the mere energy released by the Artifact’s awakening would be enough to obliterate him.

Considering everything, there was no way Yu Zi Yu would let go of this chance to attack the Angel Clan.

At that moment, hearing Yu Zi Yu’s decision, Nine Tails stepped forward and suggested, “If we’re really going to attack, we should gather more information about the Angel Clan.”

“En…” Nodding in agreement, Sarcosucus also added, “Our Demon Court is teeming with powerful experts. If we truly fight, our odds of victory are high.”

“This is indeed an ideal moment—we can attack them while they’re unprepared,” added Golden Monkey with a faint smile.

“Uh…” Yu Zi Yu’s expression stiffened slightly as he gave a strange look at his subordinates, who were already eagerly discussing how to attack the Angels.

[Are they not even going to question why I want to attack the Angel Clan? With just a casual remark from me, they’re already rolling up their sleeves, scheming the assault as though it were a foregone conclusion. It seems they’ve forgotten the gravity of such an act. Attacking the Angel Clan is no trivial matter. At the very least, it would affect billions of lives. Rivers of blood would flow. Mountains of corpses would pile up. Entire planets would crumble into ruin. This would not just be a battle—it would be a full-blown interstellar war.]

Thinking of this, a wave of emotion surged in Yu Zi Yu’s heart.

These were his people—the ones he had nurtured.

Once, they lived under his protection. Now, having grown, they were willing to entrust their lives to him.

Even a casual command from him was enough for them to risk their lives without a second thought, abandoning all considerations of the bigger picture.

With a faint smile in his heart, Yu Zi Yu interrupted their discussion and explained, “This attack on the Angel Clan… I won’t be acting under the banner of the Demon Court.”

As he spoke, Yu Zi Yu added in a calm tone, “Instead, I’ll join forces with the Void Clan, specifically the army led by Zi Lian, to strike the Angel Clan…”

Hearing this, Nine Tails, Sarcosuchus, and the others exchanged glances, their expressions subtly shifting. They were both puzzled and intrigued.

Noticing this, Yu Zi Yu explained further, “The Demon Court has now gained some prominence and isn’t suited to openly opposing the Angel Clan or even the Myriad Races in the universe. A matter like this is best left to the notoriously infamous Void Clan.”

With a slight change in tone, Yu Zi Yu continued, “Of course, you all have your tasks as well.”

At these words, Nine Tails, Sarcosuchus, and the others shared a glance before replying in unison, “Please command us, Supreme Lord.”

“Okay,” pursing his lips into a smile, Yu Zi Yu gave his orders right away, “Three years from now, I will personally lead the Void Army to attack the Angel Clan. Your task is to hold off the other races and prevent their top experts from arriving in time to assist.”

“Yes, Supreme Lord,” responding in unison, everyone finally came to realize why they were summoned.

Though the various races often fought openly and covertly over interests, there were no permanent friends in the universe—only eternal interests.

If one race were to pay any price to call for the aid of others, it would not be unusual. Especially when dealing with the Void Clan, the races had a tacit understanding to offer mutual assistance.

Because of this, Yu Zi Yu had to guard against reinforcements from other races, particularly the neighboring Divine Titan Clan and the Elemental Clan.

If a Tier-6 Overlord armed with an Imperial Artifact arrived in time, it would derail all of Yu Zi Yu’s meticulous plans.
