Over The World, Beyond Heaven

It was not just the Four-Armed Demon Deity City that received the news; other first-tier cities also received it. With Demon's Hill City, a strategic point to prevent the invasion of the demon monster beast hordes, having been destroyed, the Demon Race's Sacred Cities had started to make some moves. For a long time, they had ignored this matter and considered it a minor matter.

But now that Demon's Hill City, the last remaining defense line and boundary for the demon monster beasts, had fallen, the Demon Race's royal family and nobles could no longer remain still. However, it was too late.

In the great hall within the Demon Emperor's Palace...

"Why did this happen? Can anyone explain it to me?!"

"Lord Minister, please calm down. We just found out about this, sir. Because those demon monster beasts are very smart. They were able to cover up the news that the city that was their confinement territory was destroyed and had already fallen. Until something happened to the city that we…"

"I don't want to hear any excuses! Why are you all working so carelessly and incompetently? If the Emperor comes out of closed-door cultivation, you and I will definitely be severely punished. Therefore, you all must help find a solution as quickly as possible!"

Yes, sir, Lord Minister!

The person who had shouted the order just now was the Demon Empire's important minister, who was currently taking charge of the city administration in place of the Demon Emperor. Since their emperor was in seclusion to cultivate and strengthen himself, the Lord Minister was the most powerful and decisive person among all the nobles and royals at that time.

"Lord Minister, sir, I think we should quickly send a message to the cities to have them prepare their forces so that when a war breaks out, we'll be ready to fight. Or if we…"

"I already knew about that, and I have taken care of it. If I delay and just sit around waiting for you guys to figure that out, it won't be in time!"

Erm!

We...

"It's all right! I already have some countermeasures in place. But I need to have all of you sign some of the forces' authorization so that I can give orders more easily. However, if you think that my plan is inappropriate, then you can refuse to sign!"

"Lord Minister, you're being too considerate! How could we dare to refuse? Right, everyone?!"

Yes!!!

"We're willing to support and assist Lord Minister in everything!"

"Even if you ask for all of our forces, we'll be willing if it can help improve the situation!"

"That's right! If those lowly demon monster beasts attack us, we'll have to send forces to fight anyway!"

All the nobles and royals who attended the meeting overwhelmingly supported Lord Minister. But deep down, their thoughts and feelings were entirely the opposite. Everyone disliked this Lord Minister very much because he was a decisive person who often went against their interests. However, they had no choice but to comply, as he was the person with the highest power right now.

Good!

"Then, I'd like to thank everyone. And you all don't have to worry. I'll try my best to take good care of your forces!"

Lord Minister smiled with satisfaction. He knew what the other people were thinking, but he did not care at all. Even though these people were dissatisfied with him, they still could not do anything to him. Furthermore, the transfer of some military power that he requested would only make these nobles and royals tightly under his control.

Several shichen passed at Black Rock City Governor's Residence…

"Grand Leader, everything is prepared, sir. We're all ready to depart!"

The Lin Clan Leader, representing everyone in Black Rock City who chose to follow Zheng-Fu, reported on what was assigned by Zheng-Fu. And he changed to address Zheng-Fu as Grand Leader, like the others who came with the young man.

"Good! And are there many people who don't want to go?" Zheng-Fu nodded at Lin Clan Leader with satisfaction before asking about people who did not want to go with him and chose to remain in Black Rock City.

"Only a small number of new immigrants want to stay here. Most of the original townspeople were willing to follow Grand Leader, sir!"

Umm...

"Sorry for causing you trouble, Master Lin-Jun! That's enough. Those who don't want to go, I don't want to force them. After all, I only want those who are loyal to me," Zheng-Fu said, waving his hand lightly to Lin Clan Leader to tell him that he did not think much of it. He did not want to let those who were not loyal to him go with him anyway.

"It's not troublesome, sir, Grand Leader! It's my duty. By the way, where are we going, sir?!" The Lin Clan Leader felt a little embarrassed by Zheng-Fu's compliment. Because what he did was nothing extraordinary. He was just taking care of the people under Zheng-Fu's command.

As for the place where Zheng-Fu was taking them, not only did the Lin Clan Leader want to know, but Hong Clan Leader, Du Clan Leader, and many others in the main hall of the City Governor's Residence were also curious. After all, that would be their future.

"After this, you'll all know by yourselves. All right! Everyone, please follow me outside now."

Yes, sir, Grand Master!!!

No matter how much everyone wanted to know, they did not dare to ask Zheng-Fu too much. Even the famous Demon's Hill City Governor and the others beside him, who seemed equally strong, had a humble attitude toward Zheng-Fu.

Look at that!

They're out now!

"By the way, who's our new Clan Leader?"

"I don't know either. But from what I see, I think it should be the person at the forefront!"

Hah!?

"The forefront?! Then it must be that young man?"

"Never judge a person by their appearance. Perhaps that young man is actually an elder beneath that young body and face!"

Umm!

That's true!

"Do you want to be punished or something, gossiping about Grand Leader like that?! If you don't know anything, then don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, your fate will be cut short!"

"Why did Brother say that? Or do you know something?!"

"Of course! Because I had fought under his command before when the battle broke out at Black Rock City. Although I didn't achieve much, I could still say that I have fought alongside the Grand Leader. And you guys should call him Grand Leader, not Clan Leader. Because he's currently above all Clan Leaders. I also know that Grand Leader is only in his early twenties, not an elder like you guys think!"

Ah!

Really!?

Early twenties!

Impossible!

Many people did not believe the middle-aged man's words. If their new Grand Leader were at this age, there was no way he could be this strong. At least he must have been over thirty years old. But the real possibility was that he must have been a hundred years old to be able to reach this stage.

"Whether you believe it is up to you guys. In any case, everything I said was true!"

Ah...

Everyone, be quiet first!

"I called everyone here, you should already know why. So, I won't explain too much. All you have to do is follow Grand Leader's orders, understand?!"

Lin Clan Leader was the most powerful and strongest person there, excluding Zheng-Fu and a few others who came with him. So, he gave an order to those people.

Yes, sir, City Governor!!!

"You don't have to call me City Governor anymore. From now on, I'm just a follower of our Grand Leader. You can call me Lin-Jun or whatever you want!"

Yes, sir, Master Elder Lin!!!

Zheng-Fu looked at the people who wanted to follow him and leave that continent with mixed emotions. It was hard to tell what he was thinking. Before he gave an order, "I believe there are still many of you who don't understand and have many questions that need answers. But because we don't have time, if we continue to delay, this place will soon turn into a sea of blood, and no one will be able to survive. So, just do as the four of them say!"

[Heavenly Dimensional Gate]

Groooaaaan!!!

Then he summoned the Heavenly Dimensional Gate to bring everyone into his secret dimension space. He assigned Zi-Dong-Lei, Elder Zi, Ma-Li-Wei, and Elder Ma to take care of and control the people as they walked through the Heavenly Dimensional Gate.

Ah!

What's that?

Why does it look so mysterious?

Many people who saw the Heavenly Dimensional Gate emerge from the plain space were instantly shocked and puzzled because they had never seen such a mysterious gate before.

"Lin Clan will be the first clan to enter, so you guys hurry up and take care of your belongings!"

"Master Elder Dong-Lei, our Lin Clan has been prepared for a long time, sir, please guide us!" Lin Clan Leader looked like a young boy in front of an elder as he spoke to Zi-Dong-Lei, who had announced loudly just now.

"Master Elder Jun, you're being too polite. We're already close comrades, and you can also be considered one of the core persons of Grand Leader, so just call me Dong-Lei!"

Zi-Dong-Lei turned around, smiled, and spoke to Lin Jun in a friendly manner because he could feel that Lin Jun was a good person, and he was also a core member who had helped Zheng-Fu work since the beginning. More importantly, Lin-Jun and Lin Clan also took good care of his wife during the time she was taken by Zheng-Fu to Black Rock City for shelter. He thought that Lin-Jun deserved to receive honor and friendship as a comrade from him.

Umm!

Hearing this, Lin-Jun felt very touched and happy. In the past, it would have been very difficult for him to meet Zi-Dong-Lei. Or maybe, if he did, he would not have been in Zi-Dong-Lei's sight at all. But because he worked for Zheng-Fu, he had the chance to talk to someone of this level in a friendly manner.

After Zi-Dong-Lei made his announcement, the entire Lin Clan quickly walked through the Heavenly Dimensional Gate with their belongings. After that, Hong Clan, Du Clan, and the other clans, along with the group of people who decided to follow Zheng-Fu, followed closely. This migration was hassle-free and without any problems. Everything went smoothly, and it only took a few shichen to bring everyone in.

Two shichen passed...

"Grand Leader, the last one has entered the Heavenly Dimensional Gate, sir! Those remaining people are those who don't want to leave the city. But because of the disappearance of so many people, they gather to see what happens at the entrance. Do you want me to…"

"Leave them alone. Since they chose to stay here, let them stay. From what I have seen, those people are all arrogant and self-centered, the type of people I hate the most. So, let them go!"

Yes, sir, Grand Leader!

Although those remaining people were Human Race, Zheng-Fu did not feel the slightest bit of pity for them. Those people were arrogant and rude, and they liked to use their power to oppress others. Thus, he thought that it was appropriate to let those people suffer their cruel fate.
