Even the Demon King Takes the Civil Service Exam

There was someone whose flesh and primordial spirit I once wanted to offer as a sacrifice, to cut short the fate of humanity's lineage. He, too, wanted to rip out my spine, dissect my primordial spirit, and seal the demon race beneath the Four Seas.

The Records of the Imperial Tutor say: For generations, the High Priests followed the will of Heaven and chose a prince to become emperor. The last High Priest, Imperial Tutor Xuan Ming, pacified the demon race and established humanity's dominion, but then killed the emperor and overturned the natural order. In the end, he was punished by Heaven and died at the age of forty-two.

The captain of the Multi-Race Public Order Bureau carries a sword with ornate phoenix patterns.

One day, his team watched as their boss hooked up with a handsome man over lunch, then even took him along on a mission.

They thought the beauty was useless eye candy who had bewitched their boss. They never expected that when their boss was trapped in a hopeless situation, this beauty would wield the sword that nobody but their boss could use and split mountains and fill seas.

The team: "..."

Is it too late to start calling him Dad?

Later, their boss said the man was the spirit of his sword, and they believed him.

Until one day, the cry of a divine phoenix resounded through the heavens.

The team: "..."

Damn, they were way out of their league. Their boss was a lying old bastard.

Later still, when the legendary Imperial Tutor returned to his rightful place, the team felt like their whole world had gone to hell.

They were just ordinary mortals. Did things really have to get this intense?

And later still, the big-shot Phoenix stopped them. As they trembled in fear, they heard him ask, "What materials do you need for your assessment?"

A demon who rules the world can't allow his exam to be anything less than perfect.

Imperial Tutor Xuan Ming, modern-day public order bureau captain, gong x Phoenix Demon King shou. Names to be decided.

Theme: Even after a long separation, those who love each other will cross mountains and seas to come and love you
