Huan Shuangmeng felt she had recently fallen into a vast illusion.

Because the clanspeople of Spirit Fox Island unanimously believed that Hong Yuan possessed the qualities of a sage ruler, a rare Saint Lord of his generation!

Yet clearly, Spirit Fox Island had always been oppressed and deprived by Hong Yuan, even treated as a backyard to be freely plundered.

"That Water Demon Rice is really remarkable, actually containing a great amount of Essence Qi, almost comparable to Demon Essence Stone. What’s even more exquisite is that this Water Demon Rice can be planted at will."

"It is our great king’s wisdom to go against the majority’s opinion and appoint several big demons to study this treasure that can only survive in the Qingmiao Sea Area. Otherwise, who knows how long the Water Demon Rice would have remained hidden!"

"Indeed, our great king is like a descendant of the Purple Micro Star, with his every action subtly aligning with the Heavenly Tao. He is truly a rare and wise monarch. It is our fortune to serve under such a king."

"Hey, do you guys know our great king’s ranking on the Heavenly Scenic List has risen to first place?"

"HISS..."

"Worthy of being our great king..."

In the logistics camp, the sound of sharp intakes of breath rose in succession. These logistics soldiers of the Zero Desolate Army were all astonished by the achievements Hong Yuan had attained.

At the moment, listening to the clan elders and her master once again endlessly extoll Hong Yuan, praising him as unparalleled under the heavens, Huan Shuangmeng felt a headache coming on and couldn’t help rubbing her temples.

Huan Shuangmeng glanced sideways at her master, Huan Yuelong, who was usually dignified and elegant, a model of grace and poise.

At this moment, Master Huan Yuelong bore no semblance to the title of the number one fairy of the Zero Desolate Sea Area; she seemed to have transformed from a Great Island Lord into a star-struck young girl, eagerly discussing Hong Yuan’s matters with the clan elders like a fan of his.

And this made Huan Shuangmeng even more doubtful. Master is not any superficially versed, purely ornamental little demon; even she is so admiring of Xuan Guangqiao. Could it be that Xuan Guangqiao truly possesses the stature of a sage ruler, a rare lord of saintly virtue?

The more she thought about it, the more entangled Huan Shuangmeng became.

Could it be that she had really misjudged Hong Yuan?

It wasn’t just Huan Shuangmeng whose views on Hong Yuan had greatly changed. The various big demon clans within the domains governed by the Zero Desolate Army had also put away their own cunning thoughts, diligently obeying Hong Yuan’s laws.

Hong Yuan’s current achievements were just too amazing. He had defeated the united forces of one hundred and eight naval routes, led by three great Tao Species. Furthermore, he had forcibly seized the Holy Artifact Dragon Sparrow Zither and risen to first place on the Heavenly Scenic List, among other achievements.

「...」

「Zero Desolate Army, Monarch’s camp.」

Hong Yuan, who was cultivating in seclusion with the help of the Dragon Sparrow Zither, shivered comfortably.

He opened his eyes and turned to look at his own Luck Giant Dragon.

The horns on the Luck Giant Dragon’s head had now fully transformed into a pair of equally sized dragon horns, fierce and majestic!

How did I suddenly receive such a massive tide of the common people’s fortune, which has helped the Luck Giant Dragon transform a large part of itself?

Hong Yuan felt puzzled and began to observe his situation.

Luck Tao Divine Power—Destiny Lamp High Illumination!

Not long after, he discovered the source of this massive fortune; it turned out to be a large segment of fortune provided by the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Scenic List.

The Heavenly Scenic List for demons was an ancient scroll of sheepskin.

The ancient scroll listed the names and other information of demonic bodies, and among the eighty-one columns, he was listed at the top of the first column.

Every moment, a continuous stream of the common people’s fortune emerged from the sheepskin scroll onto him.

Most of these fortunes of the common people were of cyan and red, and occasionally, there was a stream of the most precious Purple Gold Fortune that flowed onto the Luck Giant Dragon, helping it grow towards becoming a Fortune True Dragon.

First place on the Heavenly Scenic List... Hong Yuan muttered this ranking to himself, lost in thought.

Once he completely transforms the Luck Giant Dragon into a Fortune True Dragon, his Demonic Body would truly be the undisputed Son of Fortune of the Demon Clan.

The fastest way to promote the Luck Giant Dragon’s transformation was undoubtedly to become the biggest winner in the battle for dominance of the Ten Thousand Domains. This involved stepping into the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu sections of the Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm.

According to the situations of Tianli and Han Jiuming, the identity of the Son of Fortune of the Demon Clan possesses uniqueness.

It seems I must thoroughly sweep through my peers in the Demon Clan and become the absolute and sole overlord in the battle for supremacy in the Ten Thousand Domains.

Gazing at the ferocious and majestic dragon horns on the head of the Luck Giant Dragon, Hong Yuan’s face revealed a joyous smile.

The Son of Fortune of the contemporary Demon Clan was almost destined to achieve an unorthodox Tao Achievement.

If his Demonic Body truly became the contemporary Son of Fortune of the Demon Clan, with that million-year Life Span, the path to eternal life was absolutely hopeful!

Suddenly, Hong Yuan’s pupils dilated, and he quickly switched his main perspective to the Sword Tao Incarnation.

「...」

「...」

「In the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent, the Eastern Wilderness Academy.」

The autumn breeze was cool, the parasol trees swayed, and the leaves fell in a flurry.

Hong Yuan’s Sword Tao Incarnation stood beneath a parasol tree, silently practicing the sword.

Suddenly, a streak of blue light flashed through the eyes of the Sword Tao Incarnation as Hong Yuan’s main will arrived there.

"Hey, Marquis of Dragon Sword, are you going or not?"

"A ground-level Holy Artifact! At worst, we can exchange it for two effective human-level Holy Artifacts, one for each of us."

"You must know that Xuan Guangqiao is just a mere Demon; killing him is as simple as lifting a hand! Miss this shop, and you won’t find this kind of merchandise again!"

The Lightning Martial Saint was excitedly pushing his proposal non-stop.

The Lightning Martial Saint was a sixth-tier Thunder Tao big shot. His mastery of thunder was incredibly terrifying, and he once performed the astounding feat of consecutively killing two Demon Saints of the same tier on the Nine Heavens Ancient Path.

Being targeted by him, the consequences were unimaginable.

Under the explanation of the Lightning Martial Saint, Hong Yuan gradually understood why his Demonic Body had ascended the Demon Slaying List.

The Blue Fox Great Saint originally ranked fifty-sixth on the Human Race’s Demon Slaying List, but for some reason, the Blue Fox Great Saint’s ranking suddenly disappeared.

This also led to the rarely-changing Demon Slaying List welcoming a newcomer.

A Demon, rather than a Demon Saint!

[Demon Slaying List No. 81, Xuan Guangqiao of the Dragon God Sacred Land, Original Body: Ice Armor Python, cultivation: fifth-tier Demon...]

What is this, me killing myself? Hong Yuan thought helplessly.

But aloud, Hong Yuan cheerfully said, "Many great Demon Saints still cannot enter the Demon Slaying List. Xuan Guangqiao, merely a Demon by nature, was able to enter the list, which probably means there’s a deeper story..."

The Lightning Martial Saint, upon hearing this, strongly agreed.

He clapped and indicated, "You’re right. I was somewhat impulsive, nearly blinded by profit. It seems that Xuan Guangqiao could very well be the contemporary Son of Fortune of the Demon Clan who contests with the Great Dream Emperor."

Hong Yuan’s face was all smiles as he casually responded to the Lightning Martial Saint.

However, upon parting, the Lightning Martial Saint still decided to hunt Hong Yuan’s Demonic Body. Because if he didn’t make a move, the other Martial Saints would.

The Lightning Martial Saint left to find the next interested Martial Saint.

Watching his departing figure, Hong Yuan’s gaze was profound.

After years of struggle, his Original Body and Demonic Body had finally made a truly meaningful connection. However, this connection’s outcome was not so pleasant.

The Demonic Body ascended the Human Race’s Demon Slaying List...

The identity of the contemporary Son of Fortune of the Demon Clan, the Human Race’s Demon Slaying List... indeed, the bigger the turmoil, the bigger the fish.

A storm is coming. Since I can’t avoid it, I have to head towards the Heavenly Scenic Tower Demon Realm of the Green Dragon and solidify the identity of the contemporary Son of Fortune of the Demon Clan as soon as possible.

Knowing that his Demonic Body was unavoidably targeted by the Human Race, far from being disheartened, Hong Yuan was instead fired up with fighting spirit.

The Human Race was powerful in the current era, far surpassing the Demon Clan. Given the Demonic Body’s extraordinary attributes and its exceptional Luck Tao, it was normal for it to be targeted by the Human Race.

Most importantly, Hong Yuan already had a strategy in mind.

His strategy was this: after achieving the identity of the Son of Fortune of the Demon Clan, he would hide in the Dragon God Sacred Land. He was determined not to emerge unless he reached an unorthodox Tao Achievement realm!

To be cautious, his Original Body also had to try and contend for the position of the Great Dream Emperor, a figure destined to emerge from the Human Race.
