Douluo: The Man-Faced Demon Spider, Starting with Sacrifice to Zhu Zhuqing

After five hundred years of hardship, Gu Chensha rose from a lowly Man-Faced Demon Spider to become the only 190,000-year-old Progenitor Demon Spider Emperor on the Douluo Continent.

Heaven would not tolerate his existence. The entire world stood against him.

The moment he crossed the 200,000-year threshold, the greed of soul masters and the fear of soul beasts brought enemies swarming upon him. His cultivation was shattered, leaving him at death's door!

He merely laughed at the rules of this world. There had only ever been one:

The strong devour the weak. The fittest survive. That has always been the true nature of this world.

With nowhere to flee and no way to retreat, only one desperate gamble could offer a sliver of hope!

Just then, Zhu Zhuqing stumbled into his sight, wounded from head to toe and hunted by her own family.

The defiance and unwillingness to yield in the girl's eyes mirrored his own.

"Zhu Zhuqing, accept my sacrifice!"

Demonic flames fueled by 190,000 years of cultivation set the heavens ablaze. Offering himself in sacrifice, Gu Chensha forged peerless soul rings and soul bones for her-and helped her awaken a second martial soul: the Progenitor Demon Spider Emperor!

From that day onward, the world came to know two faces.

One was a cold, aloof girl-a shadow of the underworld, delivering death in a single strike.

The other was the Demon Spider Empress-myriad spiders bowing before her, a forbidden terror descended upon the mortal world.

Whenever the girl showed even a moment's hesitation before killing, that icy, demonic voice would echo through her sea of consciousness:

"Zhu Zhuqing, a soft heart will never make you a god. Let me take control of this body for a moment."

The path to godhood is stained with blood. Only by living in symbiosis with me can you rule all of Douluo.
