Five hundred years ago.
Humanity had produced a Peerless Prodigy.
Three Years Ninth Heaven.
At just twenty-one, he had reached the Transcendent Ninth Heaven Peak. Then, with only the strength of the Ninth Heaven Peak, he had personally slain a Demon King on the Human-Demon Battlefield!
A mortal had slain a god!
That feat shook heaven and earth.
The Human Race had been elated to have a Prodigy like him.
The Demon Race, however, saw him as a thorn in its side. Determined to get rid of him, it planned several operations.
It tried killing him in open combat on the Human-Demon Battlefield, assassinating him away from the battlefield, and even poisoning him through traitors it had turned among the Human Race...
But he evaded every attempt. Then he turned the Demon Race's determination to kill him against it and planned a devastating counterattack.
The First and Second Heavenly Kings suddenly descended and killed seventeen Demon Kings who had come to intercept him!
No other battle in the Human-Demon War had claimed so many Demon Kings. It lifted the spirits of the entire Human Race.
Everyone hoped the Prodigy would keep growing stronger.
That he would become the Human Race's Fourth Heavenly King, lead them to victory over the Demon Race, and end the long war...
Then the Undead Demon God struck.
He waited until the Prodigy was advancing to the King Realm.
Right before the Second Heavenly King, who was protecting him, the Undead Demon God used unfathomable means to exhaust every last Life-Saving Trump Card the Prodigy possessed, then killed him on the spot.
After that battle, the Human Race remained despondent for a long time.
The Second Heavenly King was gravely wounded and needed over a century to recover fully.
But of everyone caught in that battle...
