After checking his status, he discovered his luck had risen to nearly fifty billion, leaving him confident that unifying the Demon Domain would make him powerful enough to rival imperial heirs in his realm.

• Ye Lin ordered the allied forces to advance into the Eastern Demon Domain in one month, exciting the Qilin Clan and Buddhist Sect while the Heavenly Demons resented Poison Venerable for repeatedly keeping them out of the action.

• Ye Lin checked his panel and saw that his luck had reached 49.9 billion.
• Ye Lin estimated that unifying the Demon Domain would raise his luck above one hundred billion and strengthen him enough to contend with imperial heirs at the same cultivation level.

After the Void Dragon Clan backed down, rival factions withdrew from the Southern Demon Domain and the region gradually returned to peace. Ye Lin gathered an unprecedented allied force and began planning the campaign against the powerful Eastern Demon Domain, but he doubted that setting up Arenas would be enough.

• Spectators discussed the Void Dragon Clan's retreat and left after Ye Lin's reconciliation with it.

• Ye Lin asked his allies how to approach the Eastern Demon Domain, and someone proposed setting up Arenas there.
• Ye Lin acknowledged that Arenas had worked against the Void Dragon Clan and Buddhist Sect but said the tactic was not omnipotent.

Ye Lin decided to use the Longevity Immortal Clan as a foothold for entering the Eastern Demon Domain, planning to confront them if they came looking for trouble and attack them otherwise.

• Ye Lin chose the Longevity Immortal Clan as the first target, expecting them to challenge him because of Li Changsheng.
• Ye Lin set the departure for half a month later and said the group would use Li Changsheng as an excuse to confront the clan if necessary.
• Xu Changsheng watched Ye Lin’s rise and decided to lend him a hand in the Eastern Demon Domain.
• Half a month later, Ye Lin gathered the allied forces of eight Golden Immortal factions and the Forbidden Void Heavenly Demons aboard a fleet of warships.

Ye Lin met Xu Changsheng, who had secured the Demon Domains’ cooperation and urged him to prepare for the Star River Cosmos. Ye Lin then asked Xu Changsheng to arrange a meeting with other Golden Immortals so he could deal with the Asura Clan and the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan.

• Xu Changsheng appeared before Ye Lin and took him aside to speak privately.
• Xu Changsheng told Ye Lin the Eastern Demon Domain had agreed to cooperate and said the Northern Demon Domain would follow suit.
• Xu Changsheng urged Ye Lin to head for the Star River Cosmos and promised to leave an avatar to protect him.
• Ye Lin thanked Xu Changsheng, then asked him to arrange a meeting with Golden Immortal seniors from other factions.
• Xu Changsheng questioned Ye Lin’s request, noting that he lacked the standing to demand an audience with a Golden Immortal.

Ye Lin told Xu Changsheng that he intended to destroy the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan and the Asura Clan, and asked the Golden Immortals for help. Xu Changsheng agreed to make introductions but warned that killing Golden Immortals could weaken the Demon Domain and invite attacks from other starfields; Ye Lin argued that the great era had not yet reached the point where those outsiders would intervene.

• Ye Lin told Xu Changsheng he planned to wipe out the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan and the Asura Clan and would give the Golden Immortals all the benefits.
• Xu Changsheng was stunned by Ye Lin’s plan and explained that killing Golden Immortals required several experts working together.
• Xu Changsheng agreed to introduce Ye Lin to other Golden Immortals but warned that internal losses could leave the Demon Domain vulnerable to rival starfields.
• Ye Lin replied that other starfields’ Golden Immortals would not act before the great era reached that stage, since doing so would taint them with calamity qi.

Ye Lin asked the Golden Immortals to help him eradicate the Asura Clan and the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan, offering them all the spoils. The Golden Immortals doubted him, and the chapter ended with Ye Lin insisting he was serious.

• An elderly Golden Immortal dismissed Ye Lin's proposal as a joke.
• Ye Lin insisted he was serious and promised to leave all the benefits to the Golden Immortals.

Ye Lin insisted that the Golden Immortals help him seek revenge on the Asura Clan and the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan, despite their objections. Most of them left, while Xu Changsheng and four others remained as Xu Changsheng began explaining why the others had tolerated Ye Lin’s earlier actions.

• Xu Changsheng tried to settle matters by offering to demand compensation from the Asura Clan and the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan on Ye Lin’s behalf.
• The Golden Immortals argued that Ye Lin should abandon his revenge and focus on his role as the Demon Domain’s chosen bearer of destiny.
• Ye Lin said his decision would not change and invited those willing to help him to stay.
• Three figures left immediately, and most of the other Golden Immortals departed, leaving Xu Changsheng and four others in the hall.
• Xu Changsheng explained that the Golden Immortals had tolerated Ye Lin’s past actions because his victims were weak, his achievements proved his ability, and he had demonstrated his value.

Ye Lin realized the Golden Immortals had treated him as a chess piece and never considered him their equal. Xu Changsheng explained why they tolerated his demands and warned him to follow the rules until he had the power to overturn the board.

• Ye Lin understood that the Golden Immortals had manipulated and supported him as a piece in their game, not as an equal partner.
• Xu Changsheng explained that the Golden Immortals were willing to help Ye Lin but would resist his attempt to overturn their arrangements.
• Xu Changsheng said Ye Lin’s inheritance of the Demon Domain’s destiny and the lack of time or a replacement were why the Golden Immortals tolerated his words.
• Xu Changsheng warned Ye Lin that without enough strength to defy the rules, he had to know when to yield and avoid acting recklessly.

Ye Lin rejected relying on Xu Changsheng and his four Golden Immortal friends, deciding to enlist Forbidden Void to defeat the Asura Clan and Profound Origin Scorpion Clan. Xu Changsheng saw how the plan could let Forbidden Void emerge while benefiting Ye Lin and the Demon Domain’s Golden Immortals.

• Ye Lin asked about Xu Changsheng’s four Golden Immortal companions, and Xu Changsheng explained they were his friends who would help but lacked sufficient strength.
• Ye Lin decided to handle the matter himself and considered using Forbidden Void, whose emergence the Demon Domain’s Golden Immortals had long opposed.
• Xu Changsheng recognized Ye Lin’s intention and explained that Forbidden Void might act because Ye Lin’s decision reflected the tide of the age.
• Xu Changsheng reasoned that, without the five Golden Immortals, the Demon Domain could not easily suppress Forbidden Void, and the other powers would risk a disastrous confrontation by intervening.
• Ye Lin could let Forbidden Void emerge and grant it territory after defeating the Asura Clan and Profound Origin Scorpion Clan, allowing both sides and the Golden Immortal powers to benefit.

Ye Lin reassured Xu Changsheng that he could protect himself while persuading the Golden Immortal factions to stand with him against the Asura Clan and the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan. He explained that those clans had not declared their positions and their ancestors were absent, leaving the conflict unresolved.

• Xu Changsheng warned Ye Lin that cooperating with Forbidden Void was dangerous, but Ye Lin said he could call on the Human Ancestor Hall if needed.
• Xu Changsheng accepted Ye Lin’s reassurance and stopped worrying about his safety.
• Golden Immortal allies told Ye Lin they were committed to his cause, and Ye Lin promised they would share the spoils if the Asura Clan and the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan were defeated.
• Xu Changsheng asked why Ye Lin was making such a major conflict over the two clans after forgiving the Void Dragon Clan.
• Ye Lin said the Void Dragon Clan had acted sincerely, while the Asura Clan and the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan had not declared their positions and their ancestors had been absent.
