As a direct heir of the Eastern Branch of the Demonic Sect and one who had entered immortality early, Dong Cangzi was indeed an outstanding figure of his time. Yet unfortunately, he was not the most outstanding one.
Within the Dongyang Orthodox Sect, there was an outstanding figure among outstanding figures: Dong Cangzi!
His title differed from Dong Cangzi's by only one character, yet he was hailed as the "foremost rising star of the Demonic Sect." He had long stood above hundreds of millions, and even many senior figures of the Demonic Sect could not suppress him. For a time, his edge was without equal.

Yet unlike the Sun Demon Lord, whose heart was broad enough to acknowledge Di Tianluo's title of "Great Sun King," he was someone who could not tolerate a grain of sand in his eye. Dong Cangzi, meanwhile, was no easy target either.
In their early years, the two had once fought fiercely over the "conflict" between the characters "Cang" and "Chang."
The final result, naturally, was that Dong Cangzi stepped on Dong Cangzi and once again proved that the appraisal of "first" was entirely true.
Because Dong Cangzi's reputation and appraisal were simply too lofty, as the defeated challenger, Dong Cangzi's loss did not look overly disgraceful. His reputation was not greatly affected and had even risen somewhat.
