The term ‘parade’ was simply Yu Zi Yu’s way of putting it politely.

Still, given Spirit Turtle’s talent and loyalty to the Demon Court, Yu Zi Yu did not want to pursue the matter further.

After all, as one’s strength grew, a bit of arrogance was natural. Spirit Turtle, however, had let his arrogance go to the wrong place.

He failed to realize the fact that if he did truly reach Tier-5, the Demon Court would definitely put him to good use.

*Haaaaaa…* With a sigh, Yu Zi Yu spoke again, “In the Demon Court, power is everything. If you reach Tier-5, even without trying, your position will be no less than one of the Ten Divine Beasts… and you’ll receive the highest resources the Demon Court has to offer.”

“I… understand… Divine Tree…” A hint of regret flashed across Spirit Turtle’s face as he gave a bitter smile.

A part of him was laughing at his own ignorance. The other part marveled at the terror that was the Divine Tree.

The fact that the Nine Realms was just part of his body came as a huge shock to him. In fact, not just him, even the likes of Golden Monkey and other Demon Court leaders would be tongue-tied by such knowledge.

The Nine Realms were just a part of Yu Zi Yu’s Grand Divine Ability—Nine Realms of Heaven and were far beyond any ordinary Small World.

A Small World could be created by other powerful beings, such as Hegemons, who, with sufficient resources, could create Small Worlds after Small Worlds. But those were simply places for life to thrive and for groups to settle in.

Yu Zi Yu’s Nine Realms, however, were bound to his True Form. They could become nine stars, shooting towards the enemy and annihilating them, or they could also absorb any attacks aimed at Yu Zi Yu.

Moreover, Yu Zi Yu’s Azure Dragon Form had become the Heaven for the Nine Realms. As such, the Nine Realms were completely under his control.

With a single thought, Yu Zi Yu could see all that transpired within—it was no exaggeration.

At the core of the Nine Realms, in a secret space, there were nine ethereal books.

These books recorded every detail of the Nine Realms.

At a glance, the past of the Nine Realms played out like a film, replaying everything.

Currently, these nine books were under the control of Snake Queen, who monitored the Nine Realms at all times. This was the Divine Office the Azure Dragon had granted Snake Queen—to watch over the Nine Realms, to ensure tranquility.

It was due to a quiet tip from Snake Queen that Yu Zi Yu noticed something unusual with Spirit Turtle.

*Haaa…* This just made Yu Zi Yu sigh with a smile. This matter was one he did not take it to heart. [I’ve already given the necessary warning. The rest is up to you, Spirit Turtle.]

After all, in regards to Spirit Turtle, even if he awakened his Bloodline and he reached Tier-5, what real waves could he stir?

Today, the Demon Court boasted more than a few Tier-5s, some of whom could be regarded as among the strongest in the entire cosmos.

Though Spirit Turtle had terrifying talent, he still fell short compared to those who had already matured, like Nine Tails and Sarcosuchus.

With a faint smile, Yu Zi Yu turned his gaze to the Realm of Life.

In his line of sight, countless powerful beings had formed a circle around his True Body, their expressions ranging from awe to fear. But most were fervent with admiration.

With a smile in his heart, Yu Zi Yu steadied his tone and addressed calmly, “Everyone, it has been three years since the founding of our Demon Court, and recently, we have gained considerable resources from the Titan Star Domain…”

Saying this, Yu Zi Yu shifted his gaze in one direction.

There, Sarcosuchus, Slytherin, and others silently stood.

“This time, we must thank Sarcosuchus and others for risking themselves to enter the Titan Star Domain, and also thank the Star God for leading us in this endeavor…”

After these polite acknowledgements, Yu Zi Yu moved on to the main topic, “This time, we’ll be rewarding everyone based on their merits… Sarcosuchus…”

“At your service…”  A booming voice echoed as the Golden Giant Crocodile, as powerful as an ancient beast, soared into the sky, capturing everyone’s attention.

“This time, you fought fiercely against Mountain Titan, held on until the Demon Court’s reinforcements arrived, and later entered perilous grounds with the Star God. For these accomplishments, we grant you two major merits and reward you with the Tier-5 Spirit Treasure, the Demon-Suppressing Stone…”

“Thank you, Divine Tree…” thanking, Sarcosuchus’ gaze fell on a stone that flew from Yu Zi Yu’s True Form—black as ink yet jade-like in texture.

The Demon-Suppressing Stone, a Tier-5 Spirit Treasure, could subdue Heart Demons and repel external evils. For someone like Sarcosuchus, focused on honing his body but not his Soul, it was a true treasure.

Yu Zi Yu’s gaze shifted to the nearby Slytherin. “Slytherin, you protected the Star God and later captured the Metal Devourer. For these deeds, you are awarded one major merit and a bottle of Tier-5 Rainbow Jade Elixir.”

“Thank you, Divine Tree…”

..

One by one, Yu Zi Yu’s voice echoed throughout the Realm of Life.

Accompanied by his voice, treasures, each radiating brilliance, flew out one after another.

As they beheld these treasures, the Tier-4 Transcendents, not just ordinary Tier-4s, but even elites like Spirit Turtle, who was on the verge of reaching Tier-5, were filled with awe, their eyes gleaming.

These were unimaginably precious. Each one could spark a bloody upheaval. And here they were, being bestowed one after another.

This was deliberate on Yu Zi Yu’s part. He wanted to engrave the words ‘reward based on merit’ deep into every member of the Demon Court.

Only in this way would they truly fight for the Demon Court. Only then would they understand the Demon Court would not let them down.

…

But every ceremony of merit and reward must eventually come to a close.

Watching as each listed powerhouse received their rightful treasures, a smile tugged at the corner of Yu Zi Yu lips.

Suddenly, his Spiritual Energy surged, causing a resounding that echoed across the Realm of Life, stirring winds and clouds.

Then…

Under the delighted gaze of countless Mutant Beasts, countless emerald droplets of rain began to fall, drenching the entire Realm of Life.

This was the Rain of Vitality.

Moreover, this was the first time Yu Zi Yu, after reaching Tier-6, had fully unleashed this ability.

In an instant, the entire Realm of Life seemed to be undergoing a grand baptism.

One could even hear…

*Crack, crack…* The sounds of breakthrough—of many Tier-3s advancing to Tier-4.

But then…

Sensing something, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

Following his gaze, one could see a black figure, shaped like a massive Turtle with a dark serpent coiled around its neck, raise its head and let out a long, thunderous roar.

*Rooooaar…* In a cry that was not quite Dragon but not quite beast, a mighty storm of Spiritual Energy erupted around him.

“So, you’ve stepped into Tier-5…” With a smile in his heart, Yu Zi Yu marveled at Spirit Turtle’s talent.

[As Golden Monkey had surmised, this one might indeed have awakened the Bloodline of the Sacred Spirit, Black Tortoise.]
