Ever since killing Ji Xuan and becoming the Child of Heaven of this world, Shen Mo had practically ascended to the level of an immortal deity.
Though his divine sense couldn't yet cover the entire realm, the will of Heaven could extend it on his behalf.
As a result, if he wished, he could observe the actions of any living being at any time.
Very early on, Shen Mo had the will of Heaven keep an eye on the Heaven's Chosen, like Ye Yan.
The will of Heaven had even found Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan had long since reincarnated as a demon, now going by the name An Fan.
At this moment, he was curled up in a corner on the eighth layer of the Sea of Demon Suppression, trembling.
An Fan’s fortune was slightly weaker than that of Ye Yan and Lin Dongtian.
Ye Yan had a way to leave the small world and head for the Greater World.
Without an unexpected turn of fate, he would eventually be found by the Demon Suppression Guards and killed in some nameless corner.
With the help of the will of Heaven, Shen Mo’s gaze fell upon Ye Yan and read the panel of his fate.
【Upcoming Opportunity 1: Ye Yan searches for a spatial vortex leading to the Greater World and happens to encounter An Fan. After a fierce battle, he kills An Fan’s physical body.
However, An Fan uses a forbidden technique to forcibly intertwine his own soul with Ye Yan’s.
Ye Yan, by a stroke of fortune, gains even more power and becomes possessed by four souls.】
【Upcoming Opportunity 2: Five years later, he finds a relatively safe spatial vortex, hides within the belly of a Void Spirit Dragon Beast, and leaves the small world.】
【Upcoming Opportunity 3: …】
"Ye Yan, you’re really lucky."
"Xiao Fan, Lin Dongtian—both have now become your stepping stones."
"Seems we’ll meet again in the Greater World."
Ye Yan was different from Ji Xuan.
At the time, Ji Xuan was too powerful to suppress, so the only choice was to kill him and seize his fate.
But Ye Yan was still only in the Dharma Manifestation Realm—completely under Shen Mo’s control.
He was a harmless little fat sheep.
As long as he was raised well, there would be plenty of chances to harvest wool in the future.
Seeing Ye Yan about to level up again, Shen Mo was naturally pleased.
It felt like reaping a bountiful harvest.
The banquet ended, and the crowd dispersed.
Though remnants of the demon race still lingered, the strongest among them were merely a few Peak True Demon Lords.
After discussion among the Demon Suppression Generals, and under Shen Mo’s supervision, they chose not to relinquish their duties just yet. They led their trusted forces to carry out the final sweep.
As for the regular Demon Suppression Guards, whether they chose to stay or return to the Jing Kingdom, Ten Thousand Demon Nation, or the Four Seas Dragon Palaces, it was all left to their own will.
All ten Demon Suppression Fortresses were engulfed in a celebratory mood.
Shen Mo had quietly left the Sea of Demon Suppression and returned to the Jade Cauldron Sect.
Returned to the sect he hadn’t seen in decades.
At the peak of the Jade Cauldron Sect’s rear mountain.
A beautiful woman in a moon-white palace gown stood quietly, gazing east toward the sea.
Her bearing was poised and serene.
She stood there for two hours every day.
Just standing. Just watching.
“Sect Master, the Master of the Wuying Pavilion has arrived. He wishes to discuss the business regarding the Fire Lotus Estate.”
Behind her, a purple-clad female disciple hurried up and spoke respectfully.
The woman replied calmly, “Let him wait.”
“Yes.” The disciple bowed and left to deliver the message.
As the strongest sect in the Jing Kingdom, the Jade Cauldron Sect’s leader—who was also Shen Mo’s Dao companion—had no need to show the Master of the Wuying Pavilion much respect.
Making him wait was even a calculated tactic—an opening move to gain the upper hand in negotiations.
“Master, General Shen from the Sea of Demon Suppression has arrived. Should we make him wait as well?”
A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her.
