The Demon Lord Ying Huan had ruled the demonic path for over a thousand years. With profound cultivation and countless disciples, he struck fear into the hearts of righteous cultivators. He was the very picture of a winner in the demonic world.
He should have been meditating in seclusion to prepare for ascension, but the longer he secluded himself, the more his cultivation regressed. When he tried to ascend directly through tribulation, he nearly died on the spot.
Even as a demonic cultivator, constantly targeted by the Heavenly Dao, Ying Huan had never seen anything like this.
After nearly a century of struggle, he finally found the reason--
"The chosen one is favored by the Heavenly Dao, with one fortuitous encounter after another, a smooth path to cultivation, and rare treasures always at hand. And all of these opportunities have to be stolen from my 'legacy'?"
As he looked at the results of his divination, the smile vanished from his face.
Facing the Heavenly Dao, which wanted to kill him to pave the way for its own beloved son, Ying Huan grew furious, fought back, and died...???
The Heavenly Dao was stunned, but soon came to collect the inheritance, only to find that everything was gone.
The Heavenly Dao: "..."

Patricide is a fine demonic tradition. As Ying Huan's eldest disciple, Qi Hanshui saw that his master was badly wounded and instinctively stabbed him.
He never expected his master to grasp his hand and say:
"What a good disciple. Nicely done!"
For some reason, the scene was etched into his mind and later turned into a heart demon after he replaced his master as the new Demon Lord.
Good Disciple Qi Hanshui: "..."

A hundred years later, the entire Nine Provinces had been thrown into chaos by a steady stream of "chosen ones" and "main-character types." The righteous sects in particular were tormented by overpowered heroes.
Then a righteous cultivator named Ying Huan appeared. He looked just like the former Demon Lord, wielded the same weapons, and claimed to be Ying Huan himself. He offered every sect a deal they couldn't refuse--
He said, "I can help you deal with those chosen ones, but you have to help me abduct the Demon Lord."
…
The chosen ones weren't dealt with, but the Demon Lord was successfully abducted.
The immortal cultivator Ying Huan looked at his rebellious disciple, once again trapped deep inside his palace, and smiled happily.
"My good disciple, look at the state you're in now! What would you do without me?"
Ying Huan thought he was helping his disciple. After all, ever since he had "died" once, Qi Hanshui had become the biggest source of experience for those "main characters" and the Heavenly Dao.
Qi Hanshui was left speechless, exasperated by his master's twisted logic.
Ying Huan couldn't understand and asked, puzzled, "Could it be that you're still angry because I forced you back then...?"
Then he saw his good disciple blush.
