In the Eternal Heaven Realm, within a deep-palace Secret Realm beneath a sky of everlasting night.
At the center of a space where endless demonic qi and Dao rhythmic essence intertwined, an exquisitely beautiful figure lay in a deep slumber, seemingly surrounded by the great Daos of all the heavens.

"Lord Demon Venerable, where are you? You told me to come to the Upper Realm to help heal your injuries. A man keeps his word. Should I find you myself, or... will you come pick me up?"
"Hehe... Lord Demon Venerable, I've already taken the initiative to contact you. You're the one who isn't responding. Don't
