Slaying Immortals: Don't Ascend, You'll Die!

At the century's grand Ascension Ceremony, Lin Fan, the foremost prodigy of the righteous path, pierced the sky with immortal light, drawing every eye.

In the next instant, Ye Chen, leader of all demons, arrived. With one finger he severed the immortal path; with one palm he shattered the light. He sneered, “This way is closed.”

In everyone's eyes, he was the ultimate demon, slaughtering prodigies and cutting off the road to immortality.

But in the depths of the world, he was its sole guardian. The Upper Realm treated the Lower Realm as a “pasture”: ascension meant harvest, and the children of destiny were merely “seeds.”

He used the cruelest methods to kill geniuses, bearing the hatred of the entire world just to delay the countdown to the harvest.

He destroyed altars, severed ley lines, and purged corruption, making an enemy of the “immortals.”

He never explained himself, because the truth itself would hasten the harvest.

Qin Yurou, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang, carried purifying divine light within her and loathed him at first sight.

After clashing again and again, she glimpsed the tenderness and protection behind his demonic arts. On a night in a mortal city, he repaired the statue of the City God and erased a child's spiritual roots, all so the child could live out a peaceful life.

Lin Fan, reborn, went from avenger to guardian.

The Upper Realm's Divine Son descended, laying a vast net with his plan for “a hundred people to ascend together.”

When the truth came to light, the war between mortals and gods erupted. Ye Chen, Qin Yurou, and Lin Fan joined forces to defy the Heavenly Dao!

In the final battle, the Hall of Gods collapsed, and the secret of the era was revealed.

Ye Chen rejected the old path and became the “world barrier” with his own body, forever separating the Void Beasts from this universe.

He did not kill his enemies. He became both prison and guardian, trading eternal solitude for peace between two worlds.
