Ling Er was the one Yu Zi Yu trusted the most. From the past to the present, this had never changed.

 

As others would put it, under Yu Zi Yu’s command, two women stood above all.

 

One was Nine Tails. The other was Ling Er.

 

One in the light, one in the dark, the two of them controlled Yu Zi Yu’s most important Force, the Demon Court.

 

And now, Yu Zi Yu intended to throne Ling Er to true supremacy.

 

With this in mind, he dismissed everyone else, leaving only Ling Er standing alone in the Realm of Life.

 

“Master…” Ling Er’s soft, lingering voice echoed as her lips curved into a smile.

 

The earrings dangling from her ears—one shaped like a Dragon, the other like a Serpent—shuddered faintly, as if alive.

 

Faintly, one could even hear the roars of a Dragon and hisses of a Snake.

 

And as if in response…

 

*Roooooaar, roooooaar…*Two Dragon Roars—one majestic, the other wild—yet both brimming with supreme Dragon Prestige, suddenly reverberated through the air.

 

Upon closer inspection, images of a Purple Dragon and an Azure Dragon could be seen spiraling around Yu Zi Yu’s True Form, soaring skyward with indescribable majesty.

 

“Ling Er…” Calling her name softly, Yu Zi Yu finally voiced the thoughts in his heart, “While I am away, I want you to oversee my Forces in my stead. What do you think?”

 

“Master… this…” Ling Er was momentarily stunned, and astonishment filled her face. Then, she quickly shook her head in refusal.

 

“Ling Er is unworthy…”

 

However, before she could finish, Yu Zi Yu had already cut her off, “Ling Er, don’t refuse just yet. Let me explain…”

 

With that, Yu Zi Yu paused for a moment before continuing in a steady voice, “The Demon Court may seem powerful, but that is because I am its pillar… The Sentinels, Shades, Society of Demons and Fiends, even the Void Clan itself, these Forces all rally under my name. If I was absent for just a few years, it would be manageable… However, this time, I cannot guarantee when I will be returning…It could be decades, even centuries or millennia…”

 

Yu Zi Yu’s voice trailed with a trace of helplessness.

 

The forging of the five Divine Trees’ bodies was no small matter.

 

It would determine his path to the Seventh Order, something that could never be rushed.

 

Under normal circumstances, cultivating for a millennium, or even dozens of millennia would be nothing unusual.

 

However, this era was different, the resurgence of Spiritual Energy was still in its infancy.

 

It was the golden age where Primordial Spiritual Energy was at its richest, making it the easiest time to comprehend the Principles of Heaven and Earth. And because of this, cultivators in this era were progressing at speeds hundreds, even thousands of times faster than in any other age.

 

In previous eras, reaching Tier-6 in a millennium was nothing short of a fool’s dream.

 

Whereas Yu Zi Yu had taken less than three decades to not only step into Tier-6 but also break through to the Sixth Order.

 

Even in this unprecedented age, such a speed was simply monstrous.

 

However, that still wasn’t the most important thing.

 

The crux of the issue lay in the fact that Yu Zi Yu could tell that this seclusion would be exceptionally long.

 

And thus…

 

*Haaaa…* Heaving a long, deep breath, Yu Zi Yu continued, his voice grim and solemn, “Ling Er, I do not wish to return a hundred years from now… only to find the Demon Court in ruins… or worse, my Forces splintered, each following their own Master.”

 

“I…” Ling Er was momentarily stunned, a complex expression taking over her entire face.

 

With her intelligence, she naturally understood Yu Zi Yu’s concerns.

 

*Haaaa…* Letting out a soft sigh, Ling Er murmured, “If Master truly trusts me, then Ling Er is willing to take on this responsibility… But my strength is limited. I fear I may not be able to meet Master’s expectations…”

 

Hearing this, Yu Zi Yu’s lips curled into a meaningful smile.

 

Yu Zi Yu was primarily interested in her agreement, that was all. For him, supporting Ling Er, making her the Supreme Matriarch, and entrusting her with command was secondary.

 

His primary target was to train her earnestly, and for this he needed a reason.

 

As for this training, apart from other aspects, strength alone was definitely essential.

 

Thus…

 

*Boooom…* Accompanied by thunderous roars, one treasure after another suddenly appeared in the air.

 

They shimmered with various radiant hues, each one something never before seen or even heard of.

 

The sight of them left Ling Er gawking.

 

“Ling Er, this is the Primordial Yin and Yang Energies, I planned to separate them into Yin and Yang. I plan to use it to cultivate one Yin and one Yang—one to nourish your Nine Nether Snake, and the other to nurture your Black Flood Dragon…”

 

“This here—is the ‘Mother of Earth’ I obtained from the Titan Clan last time. It fortifies the foundation and essence, making it ideal for strengthening the body…”

 

As Yu Zi Yu explained, his expression carried a hint of amusement.

 

These were his private collection of treasures.

 

Forget possessing them—no one had even heard of them before.

 

And now, all these were part of a carefully tailored package for Ling Er.

 

Of course, others would receive treasures as well, but not as extravagant as this.

 

Moreover, preparing these treasures took immense time and effort, requiring Yu Zi Yu’s personal intervention.

 

Therefore, he had planned to bestow them gradually after reaching the Seventh Order.

 

Only Ling Er would be receiving her luxurious package now.

 

It was only through this method could her strength be drastically enhanced.

 

Furthermore, beyond these treasures, Yu Zi Yu had prepared something even more extraordinary for Ling Er.

 

*Booooom…* Another resounding roar erupted, and this time, sacred radiance descended.

 

The entire Realm of Life was enveloped in warmth.

 

As Ling Er looked up, she saw several golden droplets appearing in the sky.

 

This was the Holy Light Essence, exclusively found in the Angel Clan’s Well of Light.

 

Even a single drop could cleanse the Soul, purify the body, and eliminate all impurities.

 

It was a genuine Supreme Treasure.

 

Even for Yu Zi Yu, he had only managed to obtain ten drops with the tacit approval of the Sixteen Holy Wings’ True Spirit.

 

It was said that each drop of this golden liquid was condensed from the unwavering faith of 129,600 of the purest believers across their lifetimes.

 

Whether this was true or not, Yu Zi Yu could not say.

 

However, seeing how the very presence of this liquid bathed the entire Realm of Life in warmth, he suspected that the True Spirit had not exaggerated.

 

“It truly lives up to its legend as one of the Seven Divine Essences…”

 

The Seven Divine Elixirs were seven mythical Spirit Essences that were nearly impossible to find.

 

The Angel Clan’s Holy Light Essence from the Well of Light was one of them.

 

Others included the Elf Clan’s Water of Life from the Eternal Well.

 

The Blood Clan’s Scarlet Essence from the Great Holy Grail…

 

Each of them was a treasure capable of shaking the stars, standing on par the Nine Divine Metals.
