Ancestors, Get Up and Get to Work

Over the past century, the demons have risen to prominence among the Three Realms. Their new leader, the young Demon King Shi Xu, acts with brazen arrogance and has declared that she will unite the Three Realms.

The Immortals, who rule the Three Realms, were shocked and furious at her audacious claim. But the once-mighty Immortals had fallen into decline. To preserve their standing, they came up with a foolproof plan.

Dig up their ancestor.

After countless hardships, the Immortals finally dug up an ancestor whose true form was a snow lotus. One petal had a tiny black blemish, but it did nothing to diminish its beauty. This ancient ancestor of the Heavenly Realm possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth, yet had no grand ambitions and was the sort to fall for a pretty face...

Heng Wenshi, the black-hearted lotus, sneered. "That's a bunch of lies!"

[ Ding~ Congratulations, Divine Lord. You've been bound to the salvation System. Activating sweet-talk mode now. ]

Heng Wenshi: ...Go die!

After being buried again ten times, Heng Wenshi had no choice but to seek out the little Demoness. "Shi Xu, listen carefully."

Shi Xu: ?

Shi Xu listened attentively, only to see the Divine Lord, who looked like the very picture of a lonely old bachelor, visibly pained as he said each word. "I... love... you."

A little scene:

Shi Xu had grown up in the demon realm, doing everything a young Demon King was supposed to do and striking fear into all who crossed her path. Then, one day, the Immortals sent over an ancient Divine Lord who looked terribly impressive, saying he was there to save her.

The demons were on high alert.

As the days went by, however, they saw that their ruler was doing just fine, and even seemed to be blooming.

When the demons asked if she was all right, Shi Xu said in confusion, "The Divine Lord is great. He just says strange things a lot, then quietly starts crying. I asked him what was wrong, but he said it wasn't something he could tell anyone... Still, he's really nice."
