"Sir, Ye Tian has gathered the power of all the forces in the world and has gone into seclusion to break through to the Boundless Realm."
"He will probably emerge in less than two months."
"By then, I fear it will mark the day our Blood Shadow Demon Army perishes."
"All the forces of the world are waiting for this final battle."
"Everyone believes our Blood Shadow Demon Army is destined for defeat."
In the blood-red void, an army of hundreds of millions of demons have gathered. Massive and majestic, it is the most formidable force in the Chaos Universe.
At the forefront, all eyes are fixed on the man seated atop the Void Throne. He sat silently, his blood-red eyes staring ahead, deep in thought.
He is the Demon Lord of the Blood Shadow Demon Army. He is also the most powerful ruler in this Chaos Universe—Ling Ye.
At this moment, Ling Ye had just integrated the memories of his past life. He has transmigrated into this fantasy novel as the ultimate villain.
In this world, he had single-handedly established the Blood Shadow Demon Army and swept through the Chaos Universe, bringing the world under his feet.
However, in the end, he was defeated by the protagonist, Ye Tian.
Ye Tian, who had started as an unknown boy from a small village, rose to prominence and eventually gathered the power of the heavens to reach the Boundless Realm. In the original story's finale, the two fought a decisive battle. In the end, Ling Ye lost.
Now, on the eve of the finale, Ye Tian had gone into seclusion for his final breakthrough. The climax was approaching.
Ling Ye's blood-red eyes scanned the army of millions before him.
"The protagonist is about to reach full power. What should I do?"
"If things follow the original story, I'm doomed."
In the original tale, he was utterly defeated. Even his loyal army of millions betrayed him in the last two months, defecting to Ye Tian's side. It was a fixed ending for the ultimate villain.
Now, as things stood, that fate seemed inevitable.
"My Lord, with your strength, if you retreat now, you will undoubtedly succeed in breaking through to the Boundless Realm," said a man at the forefront of the demonic army.
The speaker is a man in robes, holding three dice in his hand. He is Ling Ye's deputy, Ren Fenchen. Ironically, he is also Ling Ye's greatest betrayer.
Ren Fenchen was the first to incite the army's rebellion. When Ling Ye had entered his final retreat in the original story, Ren Fenchen seized the opportunity and pledged allegiance to Ye Tian. With the leader gone, the rest of the army quickly followed suit.
When Ling Ye finally emerged from seclusion, he found himself alone, facing Ye Tian's Heaven and Earth Alliance—a coalition comprising his former subordinates.
"I am willing to follow you, my Lord, and fight Ye Tian to the end. Our army will not fear him!" Ren Fenchen continued.
Ling Ye ignored him entirely.
"You were the first to betray me, and now you dare to say this? It's all predetermined in the original story. There's no point in trusting you."
"If I follow the original plot, I'm bound to die. I need to find another way."
Although he is still the Demon Lord of the Blood Shadow Demon Army, in reality, he is already standing alone.
"My Lord?" Ren Fenchen called out again, noting the contemplative expression on Ling Ye's face. "Why does he look so calm at a time like this?" Ren Fenchen thought.
Ling Ye isn't nervous at all. Despite the impending finale, he seemed to have discovered a breakthrough.
The original heroine.
Yes, the heroine of the story possessed a unique ability: Consciousness Rebirth. This power could only be activated upon absolute death—when both the body and soul were destroyed.
In other words, the heroine has two lives—an absolute second chance.
In the original story, this ability was known only to the heroine, and she had told no one about it. But Ling Ye knew.
If he wanted to obtain this ability, there is only one way: marry the heroine.
As long as they are married, the power of her second life could be shared with her spouse—though only once.
