“You’ve become even sharper since stepping into Tier-5,” Yu Zi Yu remarked with a slight smile, looking at the nearby Bull Demon.

[Amazing! Not only had his strength grown, but even his disposition had matured. This is what they call ‘great wisdom may appear as a folly.’ However…]

A contemplative look crossed Yu Zi Yu’s face as he glanced around at those present. Then, he bluntly stated, “Bull Demon’s idea of establishing a temporary force is indeed a good one…”

At this point, his tone changed as he added with a grin, “However, I’d like to refine it a bit.”

As he finished speaking, Yu Zi Yu turned his gaze towards Bull Demon and called out, “Bull Demon, heed my command.”

“Your subordinate is here…” Bull Demon responded instantly, kneeling on one knee.

“From this day forth, I bestow upon you the title of ‘Lord of Demons and Fiends.’ Henceforth, as the Lord of Demons and Fiends, you shall gather followers and establish a Force under you…”

Hearing this, Bull Demon’s expression turned serious as he immediately responded, “Yes, Master…”

“En.” With a slight nod, Yu Zi Yu continued with a reminder, “Bull Demon, I hope you understand that the title ‘Lord of Demons and Fiends’ is more than just a name… Though you carry the title of one of the ‘Ten Divine Beasts’ in the Demon Court, you’ve always kept a low profile. Apart from your name, few in the Demon Court have ever seen you. So, this is an excellent opportunity for you… If you manage to create a strong Force as I hope, there would be no harm in setting up an independent Force, one that could stand on par with the Demon Court…”

Hearing this, not only Bull Demon but even White Tiger and Golden Ant nearby looked visibly shocked.

Bull Demon quickly cupped his hands and stated, “Master, I am loyal to the Demon Court and would never seek to establish my own Force…”

As he spoke, Bull Demon bowed his head nervously.

Seeing this, Yu Zi Yu realized he had misunderstood. With a wry smile, he clarified, “No, I would actually prefer you to establish your own Force and carve out your place in the world…”

As he spoke, Yu Zi Yu lifted his gaze, sighing softly as he continued, “I’m striving for the Eternal Dao; I have no time to manage trivial matters. In the future, everything will be left in your hands… And one Demon Court alone won’t be able to satisfy everyone. What I most hope to see in the future is Nine Tails, Sarcosuchus, and Golden Monkey openly governing the Demon Court, while you, White Tiger, and Golden Ant establish a new Force in the shadows.”

“At that time, the things the Demon Court cannot do, you can do. The ones the Demon Court cannot kill, you can kill!” Yu Zi Yu’s bold words reverberated through the air, carrying an indescribable sense of freedom.

Not only Yu Zi Yu but also Bull Demon, White Tiger, and the others seemed moved by his words, murmuring, “The things the Demon Court cannot do, we shall do; the ones the Demon Court cannot kill, we shall kill…”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I hope to see…” Yu Zi Yu replied, a complex expression taking over his face.

The Demon Court was not for everyone. As a powerful entity that interacted with countless races, the Demon Court had its restraints.

In Western terms, despite its fearsome reputation, the Demon Court was a Force of order. It could at most remain neutral to most things.

However, for individuals like White Tiger, Golden Ant, and even Thorns, this was a form of constraint.

White Tiger inherited the Bloodline of the Ancient Ominous Beast—Qiongqi, making him extremely fierce.

Golden Ant was born from a bloody experiment, who had a hidden savagery rooted in his very bones, having witnessed the death of billions of his kin.

As for Thorns, she had an unquenchable thirst for blood.

In the words of others, they would be seen as beings belonging to the demonic and evil side of the world. From this perspective… the Demon Court truly did not suit them.

At least, within the Demon Court, their growth would be slower compared to Nine Tails and Golden Monkey.

If they could not unleash their true nature and must continually suppress themselves, it would be surprising if they could grow stronger at all.

This was also why White Tiger, Golden Ant, and Thorns, despite their talent, only managed to break through to Tier-5 in recent years.

Of course, the steadfast Bull Demon was suited for the Demon Court. However, his Bull-headed, Humanoid appearance appeared quite fiendish.

Moreover, out of the Ten Divine Beasts, besides Nine Tails and Sarcosuchus, the one Yu Zi Yu trusted the most was Bull Demon.

With him managing White Tiger, Golden Ant, and the others, Yu Zi Yu could rest a bit easier.

Therefore, it was less that Yu Zi Yu was having Bull Demon establish a new Force and more that he was giving White Tiger and the others a genuine home, a place where they could freely roam the stars.

‘Bull Demon, do you understand my true intentions?’ With a silent murmur in his heart, Yu Zi Yu looked deeply at Bull Demon in the distance.

And at that moment, as if realizing something, realization dawned on Bull Demon’s face.

“Establishing a Force is secondary; finding a true place for my Brothers and Sisters is the real goal…” With a slight, rueful smile in his heart, Bull Demon found he could not bring himself to refuse.

All along, he had viewed White Tiger, Golden Ant, and the others as Younger Siblings. Now, with his Master arranging things in this way, it was a sign of trust in him.

He certainly could not refuse.

With this thought, Bull Demon nodded and stated, “Master, I understand.”

Then, slowly standing up, he turned to face the group behind him and spoke aloud, “I, Bull Demon, will henceforth bear the title of ‘Lord of Demons and Fiends.’

In the future, if the opportunity arises, I will establish a new faction, and I’ve already chosen its name: ‘The Demons and Fiends Society.’ I hope that all my brothers and sisters will lend me their strength…”

As he spoke, Bull Demon’s face revealed a look of anticipation.

Then, in the next moment…

White Tiger, Golden Ant, Thorns, and the other powerhouses exchanged glances, then responded in unison, “We will certainly give our all to help you, Second Brother…”

“Good, good…” A hearty laugh erupted from Yu Zi Yu, watching this scene with satisfaction.

[As expected of Bull Demon, he had truly grasped my deeper intentions. Though, with this, the burden on his shoulders would only grow. But, as the Second Brother, he is naturally expected to bear a bit more. Just as Nine Tails now carries a heavy load on her shoulders as the Elder Sister.]
