As various individuals pushed forward, time flew by. The Imperial Capital remained peaceful and serene, like the calm before a storm. Half a year passed.

From the distant Far East came a thunderous shock, and a dazzling star general slowly rose. Di Lin, following Zichuan Xiu, achieved the second major victory in the war against the Demon Race. In the sixth Hengchuan Battle, he defeated the invading regular demon armies, killing over seventy thousand and capturing nearly fifty thousand. This was the greatest victory since the war between humans and demons began. However, what was most shocking about this battle was not the proud results, but Di Lin's brutality: he ordered all captured prisoners to be executed, leaving no survivors.

When Luo Bo, the Chief of Staff of the Far East Army at the time, heard the news, he was greatly alarmed and galloped to stop it. By the time he arrived at the scene, Di Lin was respectfully receiving him, while secretly ordering the execution of the last batch of five thousand prisoners. By the time Luo Bo understood, it was already too late, with bodies strewn everywhere. Seeing the sea of corpses, Luo Bo painfully closed his eyes and accused Di Lin, saying, "You Asura! The foundation that the family has spent nearly two hundred years and seven generations painstakingly building in the Far East will be destroyed by your hands!" (Di Lin's name as Asura King originated from this historical event.)

Di Lin replied sternly, "Your subordinate is creating a foundation for the family for a thousand years!"

When the news reached the Imperial Capital, the court and the public were shocked. However, because Di Lin was a meritorious official who had won a great victory, and a confidant of Yang Minghua, who was currently at the peak of his power, only a few people privately uttered unpleasant words. No one formally impeached or condemned him. Nevertheless, private discussions continued, and even Yang Minghua himself secretly complained to his confidants, "Di Lin went too far."

He complained too early. In fact, this was just the beginning. After the battle, Di Lin, without waiting for rest, immediately led the 200,000-strong Zichuan Far East Army to pursue the victory and march directly towards the Demon God's Fortress. This broke the long-standing strategic pattern in the Far East where the demons attacked and humans defended. The unprepared demon border troops were caught off guard and retreated in haste. Di Lin pursued relentlessly.

Along the way, any non-human village, town, or city that dared to resist even slightly was immediately ordered to be massacred, with no distinction between old, young, women, or children, and then burned to the ground. Often, after the army passed, only the blue sky and scorched earth remained.

Only races friendly to humans could beg for their lives from this officer. To survive, they had to contribute their property, supply grain and fodder, and even send their young and strong to join Di Lin's army. With iron-fisted methods and strict military discipline, Di Lin suppressed these unruly Beastmen, Werewolves, Elf-monsters, Serpentfolk... to the point where they dared not even breathe loudly, fearing that Di Lin's suspicious gaze would fall upon them.

Di Lin's harsh methods and iron fist were not only imposed on foreign races. The soldiers of the Zichuan Family also suffered greatly: over a thousand cavalry who retreated from the enemy were executed in front of the entire army; more than forty soldiers who were late for the morning assembly were dragged for five kilometers by horses; sentries caught sleeping on duty were punished with fifty lashes – in reality, the sentry had already died after twenty lashes, but the execution officer dared not disobey orders and faithfully administered fifty lashes, literally "whipping the corpse."

Under Di Lin's command, no one dared to disobey orders, no one dared to neglect their duties, and even fewer dared to shrink back from battle. When facing the enemy, even heavily armored beasts, Di Lin's troops dared to charge forward and fight fiercely, using spears, sabers, swords, bows and arrows... even stones, bare hands, or biting with their teeth, without flinching. The demons exclaimed, "Di Lin's troops are lunatics!"

Thus, his name became a symbol of nightmare and invincibility, spreading throughout the demon-controlled areas of the Far East. After he had bloodied the four demon cities of Grank, Kaz, Henglan, and KS Laiqi, no city dared to defy him again. Wherever his army went, demon cities opened their gates and knelt in welcome, while city defense forces either fled in panic or surrendered their weapons...

Di Lin cleared out small regular demon units along the way, while also attracting other surrendered races like a vast ocean. His forces grew stronger and stronger. By the time he advanced to Gemara, the second-largest demon city, his troops numbered a formidable five hundred thousand! Never before had humanity launched such a fierce offensive or advanced so deeply since the war began.

In Gemara, he encountered the first strong resistance since the war began. The young and famous general of the demon army, Yun Qianxue, who had royal blood, led two hundred thousand troops in Gemara, relying on solid city defenses to await his arrival...

At this time, while Di Lin was building unparalleled achievements, Zichuan Xiu, who was listed among the Three Heroes of Zichuan alongside him, was diligently working in the office of the administrative department...

After his new beautiful secretary left the office, Deputy Director Zichuan Xiu held up a sign: "38, 22, 37, I bet one hundred yuan!"

Roger held up a sign: "38, 21, 38, I bet one hundred yuan too!"

Chuan held up a sign: "37, 22, 38, one hundred yuan. But I think your estimate of her bust might be wrong. Based on my years of experience, it's highly likely she's using padding – I'll have to ask her clearly later, Shirakawa!"

Roger: "Right, right, and her hips – they're a bit saggy. I think the boss's estimate is too conservative."

Zichuan Xiu: "Shirakawa, what are you waiting for? Go ask her quickly!"

Shirakawa: "What reason do I have to ask her for her measurements!"

"Oh, that's easy – just say it's for a census and she needs to fill out some information."

Shirakawa gave the perverts a glare, then returned after going out and announced, "38, 22, 37!"

Zichuan Xiu cheered, "I won! Give me the money!"

Chuan reluctantly took out money: "There's no reason for it, how could I have misjudged?"

Roger: "Exactly! This is so boring. What should we play next, boss?"

Zichuan Xiu happily counted the money: "The smell of money is so fragrant! How about we bet on whether she's a virgin next? I bet she's not, one hundred yuan!"
