“My Beastmen Clan… is willing to join…”

“My Firebird Clan… is willing to join…”

…

One voice after another echoed through the Starry Sky, causing the countless powerhouses’ eyes to flicker.

Everyone with a discerning eye could tell that these Forces were all vassal Forces that the Demon Court had subjugated over the past decade.

Now, in an attempt to ingratiate themselves with the Demon Court’s Supreme Lord, their leaders spoke up one after another.

It was expected. It was understandable.

[But… does the Supreme Lord of the Demon Court really think things would go as he wish? Does he truly believe that this display would be enough to persuade other Forces to join?]

At these thoughts, the Patriarch of the Crystal Clan, a Second Tier Force, stepped forward. His entire body shimmered with a prismatic glow, as if forged from pure diamond.

Then, his voice reverberated with an unmistakable sincerity, “The Heavenly Court’s emergence is a grave matter. I must first return and discuss this with my Clan’s Elders before making a decision. For now, I cannot join the Heavenfall Alliance…”

“Hmm… That is understandable.” Yu Zi Yu nodded his understanding, bearing a smile on his lips.

He understood that some things simply could not be forced.

However, he could not help but scoff at the Crystal Clan’s Patriarch—a fool who had dared to reject Yu Zi Yu in front of countless powerhouses.

Saying he would ‘go back to discuss’ was nothing more than a veiled refusal. And to do so in public?

“Heh… As expected, the Crystal Clan truly lacks brains…”

It was not just Yu Zi Yu who thought so—many others shared the sentiment.

The Crystal Clan had long been infamous for their sluggish wit, their minds as rigid as their crystalline forms. After all, how intelligent could a race of living gemstones possibly be?

…

Right then…

*Booooom…* A deafening explosion instantly snatched everyone’s attention.

Looking up, they saw that the Nether God, clad in Netherworld Divine Armor, had been obliterated by a colossal lightning palm. Even his divine armor had been sent flying.

Listening to the notification in his mind, Yu Zi Yu chuckled as he playfully glanced at the surrounding powerhouses.

One by one, their faces stiffened.

Even the Crystal Clan Patriarch seemed to realize something, as colorful liquid droplets formed on his forehead.

That must have been the Crystal Clan’s version of sweat.

However, before anyone could react…

*Roooooaar…* A sudden, earth-shattering Dragon Roar reverberated through the cosmos.

Turning toward the source, they saw a massive black figure emerging from the depths of space—a being that was neither fully Dragon nor Serpent.

“Declaring war on the Heavenly Court? That makes you my Brother! No need for more words! This time, I, on behalf of the Ancestral Dragon Court, stand with you!”

A hearty laugh echoed through the starry expanse, carrying an oppressive weight that seemed to bend the very fabric of space.

In that moment, an undeniable truth dawned upon everyone—this was an Overlord. And not just any Overlord.

What was even more shocking was his allegiance. The Ancestral Dragon Court was a mighty Force, a dominant Force ruling countless galaxies in the Eastern Sector. And now, a powerhouse from such a formidable Force was pledging support to the Demon Court?

The revelation left the gathered forces stunned.

However, before the shock could fully settle, a frigid, piercing gaze cut through the void. Emerging from the depths of space, the Nether Dragon Serpent slowly turned his attention—his eyes locking onto the Crystal Clan Patriarch, the very first to defy the Demon Court.

“Hmph, discuss? You still need to discuss the siege against the Heavenly Court?”

As he spoke, the Nether Dragon Serpent suddenly let out a thunderous roar, “Then go to the Underworld and discuss it there!”

The next moment, a terrifying force shot out from his gaping maws, condensing into a pitch-black beam of energy that instantly pierced through the Crystal Clan Patriarch.

*Booooom…* With a deafening explosion, the massive Crystal Clan Patriarch was blasted apart, his entire body shattered into fragments.

Only then did the Nether Dragon Serpent slowly lift his head, his cold gaze sweeping over the crowd.

“Anyone else… needs to go back and discuss?” His eerie voice echoed across the Starry Sky, sending a shudder through countless powerhouses.

The Dragon Clan had always been domineering.

But today, they finally understood what true domination meant.

[This…]

As the powerhouses exchanged glances, all they could do was force a bitter smile.

However, at that moment, no one noticed—Far in the distance, a petite golden figure had slowly withdrawn his fist.

It was Golden Ant.

Although he had been knocked back by the Nether God, he had suffered little to no damage.

And just now, an insignificant insect had dared to disgrace his Master.

Had the Nether Dragon Serpent not acted first, he too would have struck in fury.

…

However, at this moment, such trivial matters were not worth dwelling on.

“Great… truly great…”

Chuckling heartily, Yu Zi Yu turned his gaze toward the newly arrived figure—part Serpent, part Dragon—emerging from the void.

Wreathed in an eerie, dark radiance, this being was a true hybrid of Dragon and Serpent.

More importantly, his temperament was something Yu Zi Yu deeply admired.

Laughing again, Yu Zi Yu spoke loudly, “Your Excellency has traversed the vast cosmos to be here, and now, you stand with us in our campaign against the Heavenly Court… If there has been any lack of hospitality, please forgive us.”

As he spoke, Yu Zi Yu once again lifted his gaze, scanning the gathered powerhouses.

This was a rare opportunity, a perfect chance to expand the Demon Court’s influence.

Moreover, he truly needed an alliance to crush the Netherborns, the First Tower of the World, and the Elemental Clan.

With the Demon Court’s might, coupled with his own strength, he could handle them.

But why fight alone when he could unite the races and obliterate them together?

And this was not just about strength. It was about erasing their very existence!

If Yu Zi Yu alone declared that the Elemental Clan, the Netherborns, and the First Tower of the World were Heavenly Court’s lackeys, it would mean little.

However, if the entire Western Sector deemed them Heavenly Court’s pawns, then they would become exactly that.

Their prestige, their glory—everything would be stripped away.

They would be reduced to nothing more than vermin, hunted by all.

As these thoughts flashed in Yu Zi Yu’s mind, he could not help but chuckle to himself and speak, “It seems… I will need your help soon.”

“Understood…” A soft chuckle echoed, as the Sixteen Holy Wings slumbering within the Nine Realms started moving finally.

Author Note:

Owing to the previous interruption, the Sixteen Holy Wings had not been completely awakened.

Moreover, the Nine Realms exist as an independent world, making it impossible to sense any movements within.

Thus, the Sixteen Holy Wings had yet to truly reveal itself.
