The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

”You are new to the Crimson Immortal Domain and might not fully understand the Immortal Demon War. The root of the Immortal Demon War lies in the Immortal Demon Passage.”

Norric paused his work, his gaze fixed on Carson Flores’s face, speaking gently, ”Originally, the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm existed in two separate positions that did not intersect, however, under certain circumstances, these positions can overlap, and the overlapping point is the Immortal Demon Passage.”

”The Demon Race is powerful and warlike. Compared to the Immortal Realm, the environment in the Demon Realm is relatively harsh, and cultivation resources are scarce. Thus, the Demon Realm has always set conquering the Immortal Realm as their highest goal.”

”Every time the positions overlap and the Immortal Demon Passage opens, it is when the Demon Race launches a huge invasion of the Immortal Realm. Our task is to hold the defense and prevent the Demon army from breaking through.”

”As long as we hold the defense, after a period, the overlapping positions will separate once again, and the Immortal Demon Passage will close.”

”Since the Demon Realm discovered the Immortal Demon Passage and invaded the Immortal Realm, twenty-seven wars have been fought between the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm. The victor in all twenty-seven wars has been the Immortal Realm, or more precisely, the Demon Realm attacked twenty-seven times and the Immortal Realm successfully defended twenty-seven times.”

”Though we defended against the Demon Race’s attacks twenty-seven times, the price paid each time differed. Even those seemingly impregnable defenses were breached eight times.”

”Whenever a defense line is breached, it means the battlefield situation has become extremely dire, requiring more deaths to deplete the attacking Demons, delaying time until the passage closes, forcing the Demon army to retreat. If they don’t retreat, when the passage closes, they will inevitably face annihilation, as there would be no reinforcements.”

Carson Flores listened to Norric’s explanation, imagining the majestic defenses being overwhelmed by the dense tides of Demon Race, and his mood became heavy.

An inch of land, an inch of blood, how many Immortals have held this defense line, and the collapse of the defense line signifies the death of countless Immortals.

Norric sighed, ”If the Immortal Demon Passage continuously opened with a fixed regularity, perhaps we wouldn’t be so anxious, at worst fighting a defensive battle every now and then. After all, under the premise of fixed passage locations, defense holds an advantage.”

”This is also why despite the dire situation of the twenty-seven wars, we managed to successfully defend and achieve victory each time.”

Carson Flores couldn’t help but ask, ”Did something change about the Immortal Demon Passage?”

”It’s not that it has changed now, but rather the Immortal Demon Passage has always been changing!”

Norric casually retrieved a Jade Slip and tossed it to Carson Flores, ”This is the timeline of the twenty-seven battles; see if you notice any change.”

Carson Flores caught the Jade Slip, his Divine Sense entering to read the contained information.

”In Red History year 79002, the Immortal Demon Passage opened for the first time, initially with a small number of Demons passing through the passage into the Crimson Immortal Domain, clashing with local forces, the Celestial Time Sect, and subsequently leading a massive Demon invasion, which led to the Celestial Time Sect being annihilated in an instant, marking the beginning of the first Immortal Demon War...”

”In Red History year 84028, the Immortal Demon Passage opened for the second time. Due to the first Immortal Demon War, the Immortal Realm was prepared, and both sides engaged in a full-scale battle at the Immortal Demon Passage...”

”In Red History year 88782, the third Immortal Demon War...”

”In Red History year 93132, the fourth Immortal Demon War...”

Each Immortal Demon War was brutal, but as Norric said, regardless of the heavy price paid, the Immortal Realm achieved twenty-seven defensive victories, effectively halting the Demon Race’s advance.

Carson Flores’s eyes scanned down line after line until he suddenly froze, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.

How are these dates drawing closer to each other?

Carson Flores quickly calculated; the interval between the first and second Immortal Demon Wars was 5026 years, the interval between the second and third wars was 4754 years, and between the third and fourth was 4350 years!

The last Immortal Demon War was merely a thousand years ago!

Carson Flores lifted his head in shock, ”The opening intervals of the Immortal Demon Passage are continually shortening!”

Norric sighed, ”Indeed, this is our greatest worry. The passage opening interval has decreased from 5000 years to the current thousand. Furthermore, you discovered Demons in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, a situation never seen before!”

Carson Flores listened to Norric’s words, contemplating the potential upheaval, feeling a chill down his spine.

”If this continues, could the two positions permanently converge, leaving the Immortal Demon Passage permanently open?”

Norric nodded, ”Yes, this would be the worst-case scenario. Judging by the appearance of Demons in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, there might be other dire situations at hand that we are unaware of...”
