Sky-Supporting Demon Metropolis, Central Demon Hall.
The eternally towering divine hall hovered above the pinnacle of chaos. Heavy demonic light cascaded billions of feet down, and a terrifying pressure that had endured since antiquity spread in layer upon layer.
At the hall's slightest movement, all demons bowed their heads. The entire celestial starfield had to give way, not daring to rival its radiance.
This was the seat of authority over life and death throughout the Demon Domain, presided over by the supreme Overgod who ruled all demons.
His gaze spanned countless star rivers and starfields, surveying the vicissitudes of time. In his heart, he had his own standard for ranking gods and demons.
Within his supreme Dao Heart, mere Midgods and Lowgods were nothing but insignificant ants in the mortal world, dust and straw dogs that could be crushed between two fingers. They were not worth even a fraction of his attention.
The old case that had erupted on the Demon Domain's frontier three years earlier had long since been conclusively settled.
Every detail had been engraved word for word into the Demon Domain's eternal archives. Written in black and white, it had become indisputable historical fact in the eyes of the gods.
The records stated clearly: the frontier Human Race had rebelled, causing ten years of turmoil, and every source of the disaster had now been eradicated; the young Asura lord had rendered an unparalleled service and returned triumphantly to his race, bringing glory to the Asura God Race.
Everything seemed perfectly resolved, without a single flaw remaining.
Only the sole surviving "witness from the guilty race" in the entire case—Shiheng, the human Midgod sealed within the Void Demon Box by multiple layers of Divine Runes and sunk into prolonged slumber—had never once come to the supreme Overgod's attention.
