“Lord Star God… My disciple is still young. I ask for your understanding…” Breaking the silence, the Metal Devourer stepped forward and apologized respectfully.

“No harm done.” With a slight wave of his hand, Yu Zi Yu dismissed the matter casually.

It was a trivial incident, after all, and he was never one to overly adhere to formalities.

[Still… this God-Devouring Rat truly lived up to Nine Tails’ description—immature and impulsive. I should find an opportunity to temper him properly.] Yu Zi Yu thought with a faint smile. He was already planning to nurture these younger prodigies of the Demonic Court.

[But there’s no rush.] As these thoughts crossed his mind, Yu Zi Yu slowly lifted his gaze to the starry sky.

“I’m sure the power of that arrow has startled quite a few,” he mused, his expression growing increasingly profound.

…

And indeed, as Yu Zi Yu had anticipated, his display of power had indeed caused an uproar among many major Forces: the Divine Titan Clan, the Elemental Clan, the Angel Star Domain, and more.

“The Demonic Court’s Star God seems to have truly stepped into Tier-6…”

“A Space Cultivator advancing to Tier-6… What rotten news.”

“Just ‘rotten’? This is a nightmare! Who among his peers could possibly match him? And let’s not forget, Star God is not the only one. There are two others in the Demonic Court…”

…

A cacophony of voices erupted within the heart of the Great Titan Planet, before the hall fell into a deathly silence.

Yu Zi Yu’s Void Elf Form’s breakthrough was really no small matter.

Although the Demonic Court had not shown any signs of expansion, as neighbors to this powerful Force, the Titan Clan could not help but feel uneasy.

*Haaaaa…* Heaving a heavy sigh, Mountain Titan took a swig of liquor, his tone laced with drunken melancholy.

“The Demonic Court grows more terrifying by the day… It’s starting to remind me of the last era, when the Heavenly Court suppressed all during the Primordial Age.”

Silence descended upon the group once again.

In the past, anyone comparing the Demonic Court to the Heavenly Court of the previous era would have been met with ridicule.

But now, things were different.

A single Overlord skilled in the Dao of Space was enough to inspire fear.

In strategic terms, such an individual was worth more than ten ordinary Overlords combined.

On the battlefield, this was especially evident:

To fight? Victory wasn’t guaranteed.

To flee? Escape was impossible.

Even the most well-fortified defenses were as fragile as paper before this Star God.

If he truly wanted to, he could teleport straight upon their planet itself, abduct countless Titan powerhouses, and even threaten the very foundation of the Titan Clan.

How could such a being not evoke dread?

Sensing the growing anxiety among his kin, the First Divine Pillar, Eternal Titan, finally spoke from his throne, “Do not worry. With the Crown of Titan God in hand, a mere Overlord adept in the Dao of Space is no cause for fear.”

“That’s a relief…”

Hearing these words, the other Titans let out a collective sigh of relief. As long as Eternal Titan himself had spoken, they felt reassured.

However, no one noticed the Mountain Titan quietly curling his lips in disdain.

As one of Eternal Titan’s closest allies, he knew better than anyone else the truth. [While Eternal Titan with the Crown of Titan God is indeed formidable, he is powerless to stop the Star God if the latter chose to flee. Among all known Major Forces, only the Angel Clan possesses the means to both confront and pose a true threat to the Star God. Their Imperial Artifact, the Twelve Holy Wings, is a symbol of unmatched speed across the realms. Even in its damaged state, its might is still unimaginable. At the very least, Star God would likely find it impossible to outrun it.]

…

Amid the shockwaves rippling through various Forces, deep within the Celestial Realm, Yu Zi Yu had already returned to the Demonic Court’s palace, controlling his Void Elf Form.

Within the grand hall of the Demonic Court, three thrones stood tall.

At the center, on the highest platform, was the Divine Tree’s Throne, symbolizing the supreme status of Yu Zi Yu’s True Body.

To its left and right were two other thrones, designated for the Void Elf and the Purple Dragon, respectively.

Now, Yu Zi Yu, controlling the Void Elf Form, quietly took his seat on the throne to the left.

This was the position the Demonic Court had prepared for the Star God, and today, Yu Zi Yu had officially returned to this central role.

Of course, it should be brought to notice that the throne on the right, reserved for the Purple Dragon, would undoubtedly remain unoccupied.

As the most enigmatic God in the Demonic Court, the Purple Dragon’s existence was shrouded in mystery, its very purpose being to serve as a deterrent. The more elusive its presence, the more effective it was.

Sitting high upon the throne, Yu Zi Yu dismissed the court, leaving the grand hall empty except for himself.

For now, his priority was to stabilize the Void Elf Form.

Having just broken through, Yu Zi Yu needed time to adapt to this new form. For the time being, his consciousness would remain anchored within the Void Elf.

Moreover, after over a decade of absence, Yu Zi Yu intended to use this opportunity to reacquaint himself with the current state of the Demonic Court through the perspective of the Void Elf.

For now, however, his most pressing task was to examine the attributes of the Void Elf Form.

As the thought crossed his mind, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze sharpened.

In the next moment, a starlit screen materialized before him:

Looking at the screen of starlit data, Yu Zi Yu’s lips curled into a faint smile.

[The power of the Void Elf is as extraordinary as expected.]
