The Demon Lord Returns: Two Systems from the Start

The Demon Lord is brutally beaten by the Seven Sages of Xuanyuan. He self-destructs his everlasting demonic body, taking all seven sages down with him.

A thousand years later, reborn as the legitimate eldest son of the current Xuanyuan clan leader, the Demon Lord falls into deep thought...

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have bound the Heaven-Defying Demonic Path System. The main quest, to become a Saint within three hundred years, is now active. Success grants transcendence. Failure means execution!"

"Ding... What the heck is with all the dings?! Host, ignore it. It's a useless, brain-dead second-generation System. What good is it? I'm the ninth-generation System, 'Demonic Will.' Huh? Host, why is your soul so powerful?"

The Demon Lord sinks into thought once more...

Even though I was beaten to death, even though I've been reincarnated to cultivate anew, I never thought I'd need a Sys...

"Ding! The Host's body has a useless spirit root. Reward: a top-grade fire spirit root, available for three months."

"So, stupid System, just shut up. Give the Host the beginner's gift pack: physical body nirvana. Let's go!"

The Demon Lord roars in agony and delight: "It's so good!!!"
