Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Jiang Chen and his team efficiently ransacked almost twenty treasure chambers belonging to the Giant Race, narrowing down their search until he finally laid hands on the sought-after item.

However, an uneasy feeling swept over him as he clasped the treasure capable of shattering one of his restraints.

“Get back and signal our allies to retreat immediately! The Annihilation Law of Devil Qi I harnessed to subdue the Blessed Land’s Spirit is reaching its conclusion. It won’t be long before the Spirit enforces its laws and turns against us,” Jiang Chen’s tone was grave.

Swiftly employing the Spatial Law, he transported his comrades across different locations, each responsible for gathering their respective allies and hastening their escape from the perilous Underworld Giant’s Immortal Dominion.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen whisked himself to the battlefield where the warriors of the Bronze Mirage Empire were locked in fierce combat with the Giant Race’s members.

Once back in the midst of the clash, Jiang Chen called upon his subordinates to swiftly evacuate the dominion, leaving no room for hesitation.

He extended his plea to the rulers of the other two Western Deserts Empires, with one leader heeding his warning and ordering a withdrawal for their forces.

Yet, the other ruler and their entourage remained fixated on battling the Giant Race’s combatants, the urgency of Jiang Chen’s words seemingly lost in the heat of battle.

Only the Desert Nomad Ascendancy’s experts were trapped, unable to escape the clutches of battle, while the adept forces from the Gilded Oasis Dynasty, Bronze Mirage Empire, and the ranks of the Devil Race skillfully retreated from the tumultuous scene.

Before ascending to the world’s surface, Jiang Chen devoted considerable time to pondering the optimal approach for guiding the devils back to the Silver Devil Asura Dominion.

He understood the urgency in swiftly returning them there, considering the almost certain dissemination of news regarding the audacious attack on the Giant Race’s dominion.

With a keen awareness of the cunning minds within the Heavenly Court, Jiang Chen acknowledged the strong likelihood that they had unveiled his resurrection within another body.

Although they couldn’t possibly decipher the identity of his new vessel, it was plausible that they had readied measures to engage the Devil Race members embroiled in battle against the Giant Race’s experts.

As anticipated, the Heavenly Court’s operatives were strategically positioned throughout the expanse of the Western Deserts. Armed with artifacts like the operational Telephone, they maintained an unbroken network of communication among themselves.

In anticipation of the Devil Forces’ appearance, they orchestrated an intricate plan of ambush, united in their aim to compel the disclosure of Jiang Chen’s whereabouts.

In order to outwit the vigilant experts of the Heavenly Court, Jiang Chen initiated a clever ruse. He dispatched a sizable contingent of devil forces to a specific location on the surface of the Western Deserts.

As this formidable group of devils materialized in plain view, the ever-watchful agents of the Heavenly Court, scattered across the expanse, snapped to attention.

Among the devil forces present, Jiang Chen strategically positioned two Saint Realm devils, an aura that readily caught the attention of the Heavenly Court’s experts.

With their senses attuned to the distinct essence of these high-level devils, the Heavenly Court believed they had skillfully deceived their adversaries.

Yet, unbeknownst to the Heavenly Court’s operatives, this spectacle served as a mere diversion.

While their attention was captivated by the illusory forces, Jiang Chen orchestrated the movement of his true elite devil members to the borders that intersected the Western Deserts and the Central Region.

Stealthily navigating this path, the devil forces seamlessly slipped into the realm of the Central Region, a territory less susceptible to the Heavenly Court’s scrutiny since their experts were in the Western Deserts.

Their ultimate destination was the Silver Devil Asura Dominion, where they would be safe from the assaults of the Heavenly Court.

Meanwhile, under his guise as Theodoros, Jiang Chen stood alongside the experts of the Bronze Mirage Empire, effectively assuming the role of their Emperor.

In the wake of the tumultuous events that unfolded within the Underworld Giant’s Immortal Dominion, the Desert Nomad Ascendancy suffered a grievous loss, resulting in the swift annexation of their territory by the Bronze Mirage Empire and the Gilded Oasis Dynasty.

As the powerhouses of the Desert Nomad Ascendancy met their demise in the depths of the Underworld Giant’s Immortal Dominion, the once-cohesive organization splintered.

Half of its branches found themselves enfolded within the boundaries of the Bronze Mirage Empire, while the remainder became subjects of the Gilded Oasis Dynasty, both formidable forces within the Western Deserts.

During the integration process, the astute leadership of Jiang Chen ensured that the Bronze Mirage Empire reaped the lion’s share of the Desert Nomad Ascendancy’s prized assets.

This included coveted regions like an oasis at the heart of the arid landscape and the strategic capital city itself.

The consolidation of such resources unquestionably elevated the Bronze Mirage Empire’s standing to unparalleled heights, solidifying its position as the preeminent force in the Western Deserts.

Consequently, a wave of vassal states and smaller kingdoms began to acknowledge the might of the now-dominant Bronze Mirage Empire by offering tributes. This practice, long ingrained in the fabric of the Western Deserts, entailed these lesser powers providing symbolic offerings to the prevailing Empires as a form of compliance and appeasement.

Around this juncture, the representatives of the Heavenly Court made their arrival, seeking to question not only the rulers but also the esteemed figures of the Empires. Their purpose was less about inquiry and more about intense interrogation concerning the alliance forged between the Bronze Mirage Empire, the Gilded Oasis Dynasty, and the devil forces in the campaign against the Giant Race’s dominion.

However, rather than acquiescing to the Heavenly Court’s line of questioning, the rulers of the Bronze Mirage Empire and the Gilded Oasis Dynasty responded with unwavering resolve. They met the Heavenly Court’s probing with equal fervor.

“Why shouldn’t we have sought the devils’ assistance? We reached out to the Heavenly Court multiple times for aid, yet our pleas fell on deaf ears. Our Empires were teetering on the brink of collapse under the relentless onslaught of the Giant Race’s experts. We had no choice but to retaliate and show these Giant Race’s experts that we were not to be trifled with!”

It was Jiang Chen who vehemently retorted, a reflection of Theodoros’s hypothetical response in such a situation.

In the face of these words, the representatives of the Heavenly Court found themselves momentarily at a loss for words before regaining their composure, “Your decision to ally with the devils was a misstep. Furthermore, you may be unaware, but this devil coalition was led by none other than Jiang Chen—a grave menace to the world. His motives for accompanying your Empires on this assault against the Giant Race’s dominion are undoubtedly malicious!”

At these revelations, Jiang Chen, maintaining his guise as Theodoros, feigned shock, reflecting the incredulity that Theodoros would convey. Eventually, he responded, “Be that as it may, I can assure you that my Empire will not entertain further alliances with the devils once the threat posed by the Giant Race has been addressed.”

The Heavenly Court’s representatives fell into a brief silence before finally responding, “Very well, they shall cease to pose a disturbance to your Empires. However, we insist that you sever all ties with the devils and provide us with comprehensive details about your dealings with them.”

“That is an arrangement I’m willing to uphold,” Jiang Chen promptly agreed.

Similar interactions played out between the Heavenly Court’s representatives and the Gilded Oasis Dynasty’s leaders.

Recognizing the need for protection, the Heavenly Court’s representatives opted to station skilled Saint Realm experts in the area to safeguard the Human Empires from potential attacks by the Giant Race.

Rather than attempting to initiate talks with the Giant Race’s representatives, the Heavenly Court comprehended the situation at hand.

They understood that the Giant Race was exploiting the distraction caused by the devil forces spreading across the continent, with the intention of making the most of the Heavenly Court’s occupied experts.

In fact, it wasn’t just the Giant Race seizing this opportunity; many other races around the world were capitalizing on the situation to claim territory from the Human Race.

Meanwhile, amidst these unfolding events, the Northern States of the Continent witnessed the Human Race losing land to the Dwarven Race.

The experts of the Dwarven Race, along with the spirit of the Dwarven Powered Immortal Dominion, harnessed the Earth Dragon Qi Roots as the very foundation of their Empires.

This network of Earth Dragon Qi Roots served as focal points, imbuing each Empire with a surplus of spiritual energy that cultivators could readily absorb, significantly accelerating their cultivation progress.

Now, for the Dwarven Powered Immortal Dominion, these points of the Earth Dragon Qi Roots allowed it to acquire tremendous amount of energy and expand its area and strengthen its hold over the laws.

The spirit of the Dwarven Powered Immortal Dominion was now able to display much better output over the entire region without wasting its Immortal Qi that had been left behind by its master at the Immortal Realm cultivation.
