It was an ordinary day on a massive green and blue planet, located near the center of the Demon Eye galaxy. The solar system this planet belonged to had few rocky planets, and none of them harbored life. Not that life had never existed, but everything had been deliberately destroyed and exterminated.
If any cultivator approached, even from afar in the void of space, they would instantly feel hundreds of auras attaching themselves. That solar system was a forbidden place, heavily guarded by the powerful Shadow God sect.
Nothing could happen there without the sect’s knowledge. Each rocky planet around acted as a defensive star formation, and hundreds of high-level divine cultivators were hidden, always on guard.
Inside the planet itself, the security was even tighter. There were layers and layers of formations blocking any entry. Even so, in the most protected region, if a hero was targeted, they would only escape by risking everything, and even then their chances would be minimal. After all, even the Shadow God himself would show up to face them.
It was an impenetrable fortress, utilizing all the resources of the fourth largest sect in the Queen’s universe. But that day, all the cultivators watching the solar system felt a very subtle fluctuation, almost imperceptible.
Suddenly, an ancient and powerful demonic figure squinted and sent a mental message to another distant elder.
"Frakrar, are these spatial laws?"
It took a few seconds for the response to come. "Reporting to the High Elder. The surrounding spatial laws are calm. It’s impossible for someone to move space without affecting them. I can guarantee it’s not an invader. It must be some cosmic radiation from the core of a distant galaxy."
The demonic High Elder snorted, slightly relieved. Frakrar was a demon specialized in spatial laws, a rare type of expert even within the Shadow God sect. If he said it wasn’t an invasion, it was almost guaranteed he was right. But even if there was a mistake, the place was so well guarded that they could react quickly.
Outside the demons’ senses, at the center of that solar system, something was indeed happening. It wasn’t spatial laws, but the start of a premonition of something to come.

Inside the green and blue planet, at its core, was a lavish and brilliant city. Grand, covered in golden buildings or made of jade. But there were no inhabitants there. There was no life on almost the entire planet. It had been deserted for millennia; even natural life refused to thrive there. It was as if the place was a cursed region.
In the heart of the city, within a castle so tall it almost touched the clouds, there were some forms of life. Unlike the pure and natural appearance of the planet, inside there were only demons.
There were nearly a hundred of them, distributed in rooms where red runes like blood floated. The castle was a large formation, and those runes were its central runes.
In the central chamber, a five-meter tree, with leaves so green they seemed sacred, stood completely covered in red runes, like chains binding it. But not to prevent escape, as there was no life or soul in that tree.
Next to the tree, two demonic figures were focused, analyzing the tree and the runes carefully. After a few minutes, one of them spoke:
"The core is at 98%. It should take about three years to complete, but it’s enough to start the tests now."
"Great. Now that the celestial blessings are being distributed by the Celestial Goddess, this core will certainly help us even more. The sect has refined all the life pills and we have a large stock; losing everything from the core won’t be a problem." The other demon spoke seriously, nodding. "You can start the process…"
He stopped mid-sentence when he saw small shining dots appearing near the tree. He squinted and both focused on the anomaly, not imagining it could be something wrong. That place was impossible to invade, and even if it was invaded, impossible to escape from.
"That… must be some variation of the celestial blessings." The first demon said, lacking confidence.
The other demon nodded slightly. No one knew much about celestial blessings. Now that things had changed drastically, it was expected that new things would appear from the accumulated blessing in the core. Their eyes shone with excitement at the thought, but... a strange bitterness arose in their minds, leaving them confused.
Their thoughts were interrupted when they saw the small shining dots grow, revealing runes. Hundreds of them, all glowing in multicolored hues.
The runes pulsed and intertwined into a circular shape. In the center, something golden emerged and grew. Along with this, a spatial fluctuation was felt by the two demons.
"What the hell is this?" One of them spoke, surprised and confused.
Suddenly, a distortion occurred, and the multicolored runes transformed into a channel. The purpose of this was clear and obvious to the two demons.
But... it was so sudden and impossible that they couldn’t process it immediately. It took just three seconds for several figures to appear in the middle of the place.
There were seventeen figures of various races, with more than half being hybrids. All very young, and sensing their cultivations, they were only at the beginning of the divine realms. Despite this, the demons looked into their eyes and felt a strange pressure.
It took one second for the two demons to snap into shock. Their eyes met a round and gigantic figure at the front. Then they felt a chill as they saw it displaying a faint smile; it seemed more malevolent than any demon.
One of them spoke in fright: "Invaders!"
Crack!
Immediately after the demon opened his mouth and reacted, a muffled and clear sound echoed through the place.
The eyes of the two demons turned to the source of the sound. They saw a human woman that made them narrow their eyes. They felt no life coming from her; in fact, they sensed an intense Yin of death, as if she were a moving corpse. Then...
RUMBLE!!!
