Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Soon, an even larger number of corpses began to pour into the Death Swamp.

Just as the Death Swamp was rapidly expanding and harnessing the power of the Lords, chaos once again erupted in the Main Plane.

Countless chaotic and evil creatures that were hidden in the bottomless abyss connected with the Main Plane.

The rules of the Main Plane no longer confined the abyss. Numerous rifts that were connected to the abyss appeared in many areas and spewed forth countless demons.

The Lords and natives were affected, and many major cities were destroyed.

The Lords didn’t worry much about the loss of authority of the gods.

Facing the demon horde sweeping in like a tide of darkness, they truly felt a bone-chilling terror. The entire world changed.

When the light of the gods faded, and the rules shifted, who could guarantee the world would remain as it was before?

Only now did the Lords grasp the truth. The Twilight of the Gods was here.

Xu Yuan’s knowledge of demons was limited to a few encounters. Although he was cautious of them, it wasn’t until another event occurred that he intuitively understood why the bottomless abyss was so terrifying in the Main Plane.

Word came from Mestre that over a million demons had gathered in front of Canglan City and launched an attack on the mightiest city situated at the edge of the Land of Darkness.

What was shocking was that, despite Canglan City’s tight defenses, the demon army managed to breach its walls several times.

Although the city swiftly responded and mobilized its army to suppress the demons, it still suffered considerable losses.

This made Xu Yuan extremely vigilant.

How strong was the defense of Canglan City?

Even if millions of Lords led an onslaught, they would be unable to break through!

Yet, just over a million demons had managed to tear through its defenses. That meant the demons were powerful.

Aside from this important piece of news, Mestre also reported that the demons were spreading along Canglan City and sweeping through the Land of Darkness.

These evil creatures were corroding everything.

The territory’s scouts sent out an alarm when they detected traces of demonic activity in the surroundings.

Upon receiving the news, Su Wan immediately dispatched a force of twenty thousand troops to clear out the demons.

The army of the territory fanned out and quickly cleared out the demons in the vicinity.

But as time passed, the twenty thousand troops found themselves overwhelmed as more and more demons closed in on the territory.

Even territories situated in the Land of Darkness felt the pressure brought by the demons, let alone the Lords in other parts of the Main Plane.

Everyone was filled with despair as the gates of hell opened onto the Main Plane.

The Devil Lords led the demon army with unmatched momentum.

They began to siege and conquer and take over the territories.

The organized and disciplined Devil Lord’s army posed a greater threat than the chaotic demons.

What was even more shocking was that on the same day the devils appeared, spatial rifts also appeared in the Undead Plane.

Countless skeletal armies covered the sky.

The world shuddered at the simultaneous appearance of three terrifying evil planes.

Countless Lords were attacked continuously. They wished they were dead.

Many Lords even abandoned their territories they had painstakingly developed. They sought refuge in nearby native cities and relied on their support to weather out the storm.

Unity in times of crisis was a human instinct.

With some taking the lead, it immediately attracted the other Lords to do the same.

More and more Lords discovered that certain planes had not been invaded. Only a very few were under threat.

Su Wan was indifferent to this. She only accepted a few members of the Tasirian Lords’ Association into her territory for their safety. Others needed to pay a high security deposit and were subject to additional restrictions to join.

Even so, Su Wan’s name continued to attract many people seeking refuge.

There were even Lords who entrusted their armies to the North Desert City and were willing to become Su Wan’s subordinates.

Su Wan was surprised by this.

Ultimately, she decided to accept them. She let them settle in other cities near the North Desert City.

Forced by the turbulent situation, the Lords who had no way of escape began to rely on Su Wan.

Su Wan raised the membership criteria to control their numbers.

Even so, she now commanded over a million Lords. It was even more than that of large guilds.

She hadn’t anticipated that she could effortlessly gain so many Lords’ allegiance without doing anything at all.

Su Wan gradually established the Dark Guild as many Lords kept joining her. The leaders of other prominent guilds were silent.

They had worked so hard to achieve their current status, and yet Su Wan had effortlessly attracted over a million members by merely opening her door.

It made them feel depressed.

They wanted to follow the same footstep and recruit Lords, but very few Lords responded to their recruitment calls.

It wasn’t that the Lords didn’t want to join a guild. It was because there were very few guilds that could occupy an entire plane.

They were more reliant on native cities for their own protection. They couldn’t protect their own guild members.

So, the Lords chose to join the natives rather than become middlemen to profit from price differences.

The situation grew increasingly chaotic, and the number of demons, devils, and undead spawned from the rifts continued to rise.

The entire plane was in turmoil.

At this moment, the power struggle for the throne in the Holy Kingdom finally came to an end.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince fought with all their might, but their influence was greatly weakened due to the changes in the plane.

However, at a critical moment, the four grand dukes and the two archdukes, who were previously on their side, joined forces. They formed a league of six legendary archdukes.

All unrelenting voices were suppressed.

The six legends declared with absolute dominance that in the current turbulent situation, the Hole Kingdom couldn’t afford to continue this internal strife and must immediately decide on a king!

The only suitable candidate for the throne was the Third Prince.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince were furious. They had fought so hard for nothing.

Under immense pressure from the six archdukes and numerous nobles who were swayed to their side, most chose the Third Prince for the throne. Only their closest supporters remained by their side.

The two princes raged.

The power struggle for the throne of the Holy Kingdom came to a dramatic end. The overlooked Third Prince officially stepped onto the stage of history and became the new king of the Holy Kingdom.

After ascending the throne, with the powerful support of the six archdukes, he was accepted as a true reigning king. This was of course under Xu Yuan’s approval.

The plans targeting the Tasiria Plane were immediately revoked, and unruly nobles faced a purge.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince met their end two days later in an accidental demon uprising. They ended up in a sea of flames.

However, Archduke Qing You was concerned that the mysterious evil god behind the Crown Prince hadn’t revealed themselves yet.

The transfer of power was successful after the two prince’s downfall.

The outside world considered this to be a normal power struggle. They were unaware that the king of the Holy Kingdom had already become a part of another territory.

As the Third Prince ascended to the throne, many nobles who were aligned with the four archdukes were placed in important positions.

A fundamental transformation began within the upper echelons of the empire!

After over half a month, the situation in the Main Plane underwent tremendous changes..
