In the original book, the heroine is a woman of unparalleled distinction. From the very beginning, she stood at the pinnacle of the world.
She is the number one beauty of the Chaos Universe, an existence at the peak of the Extreme God Realm. Her uniqueness extended beyond her power and beauty—she had a peculiar setting: she never looked at any man. It wasn't due to an issue of orientation but because of a standard she had set for herself: whoever defeated and killed Ling Ye could marry her.
This decree was one of the main reasons the protagonist, Ye Tian, worked so hard. To a certain extent, his ambition was fueled by the words of the most beautiful woman in the world.
However, like all fantasy novels, this one had its share of regrets. The greatest regret of the original story was that, even after Ye Tian killed Ling Ye in the finale, the heroine was never tempted by him. She didn't marry Ye Tian in the end.
After all, the power of her two lives, which defied the heavens, remained unattainable.
Thinking of this, a subtle smile appeared on Ling Ye's lips. So, the heroine is the key. She is the one who can reverse the ending—the only way.
As long as he obtained the power of two absolute lives, he could survive the finale.
"My Lord?" Ren Fenchen called out again. Why is he smiling at a time like this? he wondered.
Ling Ye didn't respond. Instead, he rose to his feet. The void around him cracked and twisted slightly.
"My Lord, where are you going?" Ren Fenchen asked hurriedly.
"Seclusion," Ling Ye replied with a faint smile before disappearing.
Of course, he isn't actually going into seclusion. His true destination was the heroine.
Claiming to retreat served another purpose—it would expose the true colors of the traitorous wolves in his ranks. Only then would they understand the price of betrayal.
After Ling Ye vanished, the three dice in Ren Fenchen's hand spun a few times. His eyes narrowed slightly as though calculating his next move.
Ren Fenchen is a gambler who had never lost a single game. And this final gamble? He couldn't afford to lose.
Choosing to follow Ling Ye had been the right choice initially. But now?
Ren Fenchen turned to gaze at the Blood Shadow Demon Army before him. Perhaps everyone doesn't need to follow Ling Ye to their deaths. Maybe there's still another way to survive, he mused.

Purple Cloud Immortal Realm
Among the myriad worlds, there was a particularly unique realm: the Purple Cloud Immortal Realm. This was a realm created by the original heroine, Luo Li.
After establishing the realm, Luo Li single-handedly founded the Purple Cloud Immortal Palace, an institution whose power rivaled the strongest forces in the Chaos Universe.
Second only to the Blood Shadow Demon Army, the Purple Cloud Immortal Palace stood as one of the most formidable powers.
The palace was divided into forty-nine Immortal Islands, each hosting its own Immortal Palace. Luo Li has entrusted these palaces to forty-nine female emperors, each at the peak of the God Emperor Realm.
In addition to the female emperors, the palace boasted a plethora of other powerhouses in the early, middle, and late stages of the God Emperor Realm. In total, the Purple Cloud Immortal Palace have over 500 warriors of the God Emperor Realm.
This strength was considerable across the universe but paled in comparison to Ling Ye's Blood Shadow Demon Army.
Although his army of millions betrayed him in the original story, there was one force that remained eternally loyal: his Three Thousand Demon Emperors—an army of puppets bound to obey only his commands.
These puppets, each at the God Emperor Realm, were Ling Ye's ultimate trump card. They are the true core of the Blood Shadow Demon Army.
From the army's inception, Ling Ye had prioritized creating this legion. He understood better than anyone that the living could never be as reliable as the dead.
Though many had heard rumors of the Three Thousand Demon Emperors, few had ever seen them. Ling Ye rarely used them; with his strength, he seldom needed to.
Unfortunately, in the original story, both he and his Three Thousand Demon Emperors were annihilated in the end.
But now, Ling Ye wouldn't let that happen.
