Imprisoned as a Warden: The Demon Lord Regrets It Too Late
Cool, vengeful god top × devoted, unhinged demon lord bottom. They save and imprison each other, with multiple couples and an ensemble cast. Happy ending.
Ten thousand years ago, gods and demons perished together.
Immortal Venerable Xie Jinyu awakens on the blood-soaked night his family is slaughtered, reduced to the Immortal Alliance's lowliest servant. But from the bottom of the Soul-Eating Abyss comes his nemesis's whisper: “Use your divine bones as bait, and forge me into a blade... Do you dare?”
The Immortal Alliance sits high upon its cloud dais, while the demons stir below. A conspiracy to sacrifice the spirit veins, slay a god, and seize his bones has already woven a net from which there is no escape.
Clutching the bloodstained secret scroll, Xie Jinyu steps into the abyss...
Only to find the Demon Lord Bai Yuning, imprisoned for ten thousand years, with his soul shattered and chains piercing his body, yet burning his own soul to protect Xie Jinyu when he is near death.
“The world is unbearably dull without you.”
His former rival gives a faint, rueful laugh, and the truth tears open the scab over old wounds:
That mutual destruction was actually the Demon Lord's forbidden technique in reverse. He paid with an eternity without reincarnation to give Xie Jinyu a chance to live.
Now the divine bones awaken, and his memories return.
Xie Jinyu opens his chest, draws forth divine fire to temper his soul, and turns the blade into a prison.
“Back then, you imprisoned yourself for me. Now I'll forge a blade to imprison you. This sword is named ‘Ashen Peace.’ From now on, your soul is in my hands, and we will share life and death.”
At the peak of the Immortal Alliance, its leader, Xiao Yunlan, looks down upon all living things with a chilling smile. “Go ahead and forge it... Once the divine bones become a blade and god and demon unite, all the power of this world will be mine at last!”
