Within the Ten Lands Nine Heavens God Annihilation Array, the chaotic energy turbulence slowly subsided, revealing a scene of utter devastation.

The void shattered, the laws were disordered, and the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars dimmed, standing silently like ancient stone tablets weathered by time.

The surviving Demon Race warriors supported each other, their faces filled with bewilderment and sorrow at having survived such a catastrophe. The air was thick with the stench of blood and Demonic Energy, as well as an indescribable heaviness.

At the eye of the storm, Yu Yuanchen slowly withdrew the hand that had thrown the Thunder Dragon Spear. His face was pale, and his breathing was erratic. Forcibly fusing his divine God Position to unleash the ultimate strike, "One Thought Pierces the Heavens," had almost drained most of his Divine Essence, and his Divine Soul was also feeling weak.

But his tall figure still stood like a javelin, his gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping across the battlefield that had been baptized by blood and war.

The Planar Spirit has fallen, and the purest essence left behind after its manifested body collapsed has been sealed and collected by him with a wave of his hand. It is a ball of chaotic color containing vast information of laws and boundless energy, which is his greatest goal for this trip.

The Heavenly Dao Cauldron, which had been floating in the air, became even more glaring after losing its master. Its radiance became restrained, and it transformed into a small, ancient cauldron about a foot tall. It slowly fell into Yu Yuanchen's palm, feeling cool to the touch and unusually heavy.

"It's over." Gu Yuena's cold voice rang out. She gracefully landed beside Yu Yuanchen, her purple eyes sweeping across the battlefield. Although her breathing was somewhat disordered, she was in much better condition than the others.

The Silver Dragon King's essence and exquisite control over the elements, coupled with her role in the previous chaotic battle of restricting the Elemental Authority of the Planar Spirit without directly confronting Planar Spirit, meant that Yu Yuanchen and the others paid more attention to protecting her, so her condition was naturally much better.

Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen also fell one after another, both covered in blood and weak.

Qian Daoliu's Angel Sacred Sword had dimmed, and even fine cracks had appeared on its blade; Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer was covered with nicks, and his strong physique was also covered with deep, bone-revealing scars, but the eyes of the two were unusually bright, filled with the joy of victory and the perseverance after experiencing life and death.

"Damn it, we finally killed that old bastard!" Tang Chen spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and grinned, but the aggravation of his injuries made him wince in pain.

Qian Daoliu slightly, his gaze towards Yu Yuanchen filled with sincere admiration and a hint of complexity. "Brother Yuanchen, this victory is entirely due to your strategic planning and decisive strike at the crucial moment; otherwise, we would not have been able to achieve this."

He knew that Yu Yuanchen had made a great contribution, from discovering the hidden danger of the Planar Spirit to formulating the plan, and finally to that Sky Breaker shot.

Yu Yuanchen shook his head slightly, swallowed a few pills to nourish his Divine Soul and restore his Divine Essence energy, and his pale face eased a little. "The credit for this battle is not mine alone. Without everyone's strong support, which tied down most of his energy, I would have had no opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Gu Yuena. "Especially Miss Gu Yue, if you hadn't used your Elemental Authority to suppress their methods, this battle would never have gone so smoothly."

The authority over the elements is absolutely the cornerstone of the Planar Spirit's combat power. It can be said that Gu Yuena's restrictions on the Planar Spirit have reduced his combat power by almost 20%.

Gu Yuena smiled faintly, not taking credit for it.

At this moment, Di Tian's figure also quietly appeared. His huge dragon eyes swept across the chaotic battlefield, especially lingering for a moment on the silent, heaven- Heaven-Defying Dragon Pillar, a subtle and complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

The Evil Emperor also floated over unsteadily, looking extremely weak, clearly having lent a hand in the previous battle.

"Now that this matter is settled, how should the spoils be distributed?" Qian Daoliu asked, looking at the sealed Plane Origin in Yu Yuanchen's hand and the ancient Heavenly Dao Cauldron. Although everyone had a tacit understanding, the procedure still needed to be followed.

Before Yu Yuanchen could speak, Tang Chen waved his hand and said generously, "What's there to divide? You, Old Yu, discovered the hidden danger of the Planar Spirit, you set the plan, and you were the one who caused the final mess! The lion's share naturally belongs to you! I, Old Tang, only need a few scraps to use for comprehending the laws."

Qian Daoliu nodded in agreement. "Brother Tang is absolutely right. Brother Yuanchen needs such primordial resources to solidify his position as God King."

"The Heavenly Dao Cauldron was formed from the essence of a Planar Spirit. Although it is not completely compatible with Brother Yu's Thunder Law, the suppressive and transformative power it contains has infinite uses and should rightfully belong to Brother Yu. Brother Tang and I only need to extract the portion of its origin insights that align with our own paths."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly. "What I need is a complete understanding of the workings of the Elemental Law of this world, which would greatly benefit my path to perfection. As for the source of energy, it is not necessary for me."

Everyone's attitude was clear: they would give the greatest credit and spoils to Yu Yuanchen first. This was not only because of Yu Yuanchen's decisive role in this battle, but also because, for a long time, Yu Yuanchen had played the role of a core leader, whether it was pioneering Martial Way, establishing the Federation, or leading them to explore the path of transcendence.

Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen were well aware that if Yu Yuanchen hadn't provided the Hell Gate and the opportunity to come to this world, they probably wouldn't have achieved what they have today in their entire lives. They kept this cause and effect firmly in mind.

Seeing this, Yu Yuanchen no longer declined. He truly needed the origin of the Planar Spirit and the Heavenly Dao Cauldron to solidify his foundation and break through to a higher realm.

He pondered for a moment, calculated his approximate needs, and said, "In that case, I, Yu, will accept your Plane Origin. Of the remaining 30%, Nana will take 10%, which contains the wonders of the Elemental Law; Brother Qian will take half a percent, which contains the Principle of Light; Brother Tang will take half a percent, which contains the Essence of Power Blood Essence and energy; and the remaining half a percent will be given to Di Tian and the Evil Emperor to help you two stabilize your realms and comprehend the laws."

He distributed the gifts extremely fairly, even taking into account Di Tian and the Evil Emperor. Di Tian was slightly moved, and the Evil Emperor's eyes trembled with emotion as he repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

As for the large amount of dissipated Plane Law that originally maintained the operation of the Saint Demon Continent, Yu Yuanchen showed no intention of using them.

He knew very well that this power was related to the stability of the entire plane. Anyone who greedily absorbed it would have to bear the responsibility of maintaining the balance of the plane and suppressing Natural Disaster, which was tantamount to wearing a heavy shackle. He was determined to transcend, so he would not trap himself in his own trap.

"As for these Demon God Pillar..." Yu Yuanchen's gaze turned to the seventy-two silent giant pillars, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He had promised the Demon God Emperor to preserve the bloodline of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan and also promised to accept the surrender of the Demon Race Clan, but that did not mean he would let the Demon Race remain as it was.

He waved his hand, summoning the Moon Demon God Agares and the Star Demon God Vassago to his side. Their injuries had stabilized thanks to Feng Xiu's Life -risking infusion, but their auras were still weak. Facing Yu Yuanchen, their expressions were complex, showing grief, awe, and a hint of trepidation.

"Moon Demon God, Star Demon God," Yu Yuanchen's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority, "Before Feng Xiu left, he entrusted the Demon Race to the two of you. Having promised to preserve your bloodline, I will not break my word."

Upon hearing this, Agares and Vassago felt somewhat relieved and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

"However," Yu Yuanchen changed the subject, "the Demon Race is now deeply demonic and has an intense bloodlust, all because these Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars still contain the Heaven's Punishment Power and the Destruction Intent left behind by that terrifying being named ' Austin Griffin '."

This power has deeply merged with the Demon God Pillar itself and the bloodline of your ancestors, corrupting your bloodline and character, thus creating the Demon Race we know today."

He pointed to the Demon God Pillar: "If left unchecked, the Demon Race will not change their nature, and I will not allow such a race to continue to exist."

Agares and Vassago's expressions changed. As Demon God, they naturally knew the source of the violence and chaos in their bloodlines, but they had been powerless to change it in the past. Vassago asked in a hoarse voice, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

"I wish to strip away and Purification the portion of the dark, Destruction power belonging to Austin Griffin within the Demon God Pillar," Yu Yuanchen said slowly. "This will damage the Demon God Pillar's rank and greatly reduce its power, but along with it, the demonic nature Entanglement within the Demon Race bloodline will gradually weaken and Purification. Over time, you may be able to gradually shed your demonic bodies and return... to the original form of your ancestors."

Return to its original form!

Agares and Vassago trembled violently, their eyes gleaming with disbelief! For the Demon Race high command, who had suffered greatly from demonic torment and knew its drawbacks all too well, this was an unimaginable blessing! Although the process was lengthy and the Demon God Pillar would be damaged, what did this price matter compared to gaining "New Life"?

"Your Majesty... is this true?!" Agares' voice trembled with excitement.

"I, Yu Yuanchen, always keep my word." Yu Yuanchen nodded. "However, this matter is extremely difficult. It requires the Heavenly Dao Cauldron to suppress the pillar's origin, and then my understanding of the Laws of Life and Destruction, supplemented by the power of lightning Purification, to proceed slowly. It may take no less than ten years. Moreover, during this period, the Demon God Pillar must be under my control."

"Ten years... if it can bring about the future of our race, even a hundred or a thousand years would be worth it!" Vassago said excitedly. "Everything is up to Your Majesty's arrangement! On behalf of the billions of people of the Demon Race, we two bow in gratitude to Your Majesty for your grace in creating us!" With that, the two were about to kneel down and perform a grand salute.

Yu Yuanchen waved his sleeve, and a gentle force supported the two. "No need for formalities. Besides, the Saint Demon Continent is no longer a place for you to linger. Your race has deep-seated hatred for the Human Race; forcing yourselves to coexist will only cause trouble."

He paused, then continued, "I have a place called the Demon Plane. This dimension is harsh, filled with dark energy and chaotic laws, a dead end for ordinary beings, but for Demon Race have not yet completely Purification their demonic nature, it may be a place to stay for the time being."

When your demonic nature has faded, I can help you gradually improve the environment of that plane, making it habitable."

Relocate the Demon Race to the Demon Plane! Agares and Vassago exchanged a glance, both seeing the desire in each other's eyes. Leaving this place of sorrow, to recuperate in a new, undisturbed environment and gradually Purification their bloodlines—this was undoubtedly the best choice!

"We will obey Your Majesty's decree!" The two answered in unison without further hesitation.

With the plan settled, Yu Yuanchen didn't delay any longer. He first distributed the Plane Origin with Gu Yuena, Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and others according to the agreement.

Everyone was satisfied with what they had obtained and immediately sought a secluded place to digest their gains.

Yu Yuanchen then took charge of the initial and final tasks. He first used his great supernatural powers to stabilize the world within the Ten Lands Nine Heavens God Annihilation Array, which was on the verge of collapse, and then temporarily sealed this world, allowing it to slowly recover on its own over time.

He then ordered Agares and Vassago to reorganize the remaining Demon Race, count the casualties, treat the wounded, and begin preparations for migration.

He himself, along with the Heavenly Dao Cauldron and the Plane Origin, entered into deep seclusion. He needed to first refine the Heavenly Dao Cauldron, familiarize himself with its power, and recover his own losses in preparation for the subsequent Purification of the Demon God Pillar and the migration of the Demon Race.

At the same time, he was also very interested in the trace of Heaven's Punishment Power left by Austin Griffin, and planned to study it carefully during the Purification process, perhaps he could glean a glimpse of the mystery of the source of Destruction.

On the Temple Alliance side, Yu Yuanchen also sent Di Tian to inform them of the results. Upon learning that the Planar Spirit had been killed, and that the Demon Race had submitted and would be migrating, Yang Zhou, Han Tao, and other high-ranking members of the alliance were naturally overjoyed. The dark cloud that had been hanging over the Human Race for thousands of years had finally dissipated.

They naturally complied with Yu Yuanchen's arrangements without question, and even offered to provide some assistance to help the Demon Race migrate.

The storm has completely subsided, and the Saint Demon Continent has ushered in the long-awaited dawn of peace.
