After the meeting concluded.
The other Dominion Realm experts had left, but Lin Yun stayed behind and called in Little Monkey.
“Palace Master Mo, Vice Palace Master Yao, allow me to formally introduce this celestial demon. You can call him Little Monkey. In the future, if we are to attack the Demon Beast Mountain Range, he will play a crucial role,” Lin Yun said, introducing him to Palace Master Mo and Vice Palace Master Yao.
“Palace Master Mo, Vice Palace Master Yao, greetings,” Little Monkey, now in human form, saluted the two palace masters.
“Little Monkey, if we do attack the Demon Beast Mountain Range in the future, we’ll rely on you to guide us,” Palace Master Mo said with a smile.
The Demon Beast Mountain Range was a forbidden zone for humans, so their knowledge of its interior was extremely limited.
“No problem. I’m very familiar with the Demon Beast Mountain Range,” Little Monkey replied confidently.
…
After leaving the council hall.
“Little Monkey, you’ve worked hard these years. From now on, stay with us. You no longer need to live in fear,” Lin Yun said to Little Monkey.
“I’ll follow Master’s orders,” Little Monkey responded cheerfully.
He continued, “Master, during my years in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, I’ve been making arrangements. Even though I’ve left, thanks to my efforts, I can still continuously gather some information from within the Demon Beast Mountain Range.”
“Really? That’s excellent!” Lin Yun’s eyes lit up.
Although the demon clan would likely remain quiet for a long time after this war, Lin Yun was certain they wouldn’t give up easily. Being able to obtain any information about the demon clan’s activities was naturally a great advantage.
“However, the information I can gather is limited. I can’t access the demon clan’s top secrets or core confidential matters,” Little Monkey said.
“No matter. Whatever information you can get is valuable,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
Then, Lin Yun turned to the young azure dragon beside him.
“Young Azure Dragon, come to my place first. After I convert these demon beast corpses into Universe Crystals, I’ll hand them over to you to take back to the dragon clan,” Lin Yun said.
“Sure,” Young Azure Dragon agreed readily.
Lin Yun led Young Azure Dragon back to his residence in the Heavenly God Palace.
“Father!”
As soon as Lin Yun returned, Lin Kexin and Lin Yi rushed up excitedly.
“Father, you’re amazing! You drove the demon beasts back to the Demon Beast Mountain Range so quickly!” Lin Kexin said, thrilled.
“This time, it was largely thanks to your godfather’s help. Hurry and greet him,” Lin Yun said, pointing to Young Azure Dragon.
“Godfather!”
Lin Kexin and Lin Yi obediently greeted Young Azure Dragon.
“You two little ones have such sweet tongues. These two Dragon Saliva Pearls are my greeting gifts to you. Consuming them will greatly benefit your physical strength,” Young Azure Dragon said, handing two pearls to Lin Kexin and Lin Yi.
Lin Kexin and Lin Yi didn’t take them immediately, instead looking to Lin Yun for approval.
“Since your godfather gave them to you, take them,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“Alright.”
“Thank you, Godfather!”
Lin Kexin and Lin Yi happily accepted the pearls.
In the courtyard, Lin Yun’s friends and family were all present, everyone in high spirits after the human race’s victory in the war.
Lin Yun introduced his friends and family to Young Azure Dragon one by one.
After chatting with everyone for a while, Lin Yun went to the training chamber.
There, he entered the Mind Clarity Tower and took out the celestial demon corpses, placing them into the Supreme Cauldron of the Universe.
Ten days later, the conversion was complete.
The celestial demon corpses, including the demon commander’s, yielded a total of over 800,000 Universe Crystals.
This was a substantial amount.
After the conversion, Lin Yun left the Mind Clarity Tower.
Only two days had passed outside.
Upon leaving the training chamber, Lin Yun found Young Azure Dragon and handed him the Universe Crystals.
Having reached the ten-clawed stage, Young Azure Dragon had no need for the Universe Crystals himself, but he could take them back for the dragon clan to use.
In this war, the other three dragon palaces that fought alongside Young Azure Dragon had suffered losses. If Young Azure Dragon gave them some Universe Crystals, it would help alleviate their discontent.
Once the three dragon kings experienced the benefits of the Universe Crystals, they would be more willing to loyally follow Young Azure Dragon in the future to secure more.
After receiving the Universe Crystals, Young Azure Dragon prepared to return to the dragon clan.
The dragon clan’s mission to aid the human race was complete, and Young Azure Dragon naturally had to lead the dragon reinforcements back to the Endless Sea.
Lin Yun escorted them along the way.
At the edge of the Endless Sea.
Lin Yun saw Young Azure Dragon and the dragon reinforcements off to this point.
“Stinky kid, this is far enough. If anything comes up, we’ll stay in touch,” Young Azure Dragon said.
“Young Azure Dragon, now that you’ve reached ten claws, can you still advance further?” Lin Yun asked.
“No way. Our cultivation method is different from humans’. We rely heavily on bloodlines, which are both our strength and our weakness. The weakness is that they limit our potential,” Young Azure Dragon said.
He continued, “Ten claws is the limit for top-tier dragon bloodlines. My bloodline can’t improve further, and since there’s no bloodline higher than top-tier in the dragon clan, my realm can’t advance either.”
“I see,” Lin Yun nodded.
“Stinky kid, I’m heading back to the dragon clan now,” Young Azure Dragon said, bidding farewell.
“Alright,” Lin Yun nodded.
“Let’s go!”
Young Azure Dragon transformed into his dragon form and led the dragon reinforcements into the Endless Sea.
Lin Yun watched them leave until they completely disappeared from his sight.
“Phew…”
“Next, I’ll head to Dongyuan Prefecture,” Lin Yun murmured.
With that, his figure vanished instantly.
Dongyuan Prefecture.
During the war, the entire Dongyuan Prefecture had been occupied by demon beasts.
Now, flying over Dongyuan Prefecture, Lin Yun noticed that the residents who had fled were beginning to return, as this was their home.
The prefecture’s city was steadily filling with people again, and it wouldn’t take long for it to regain its former bustle.
After lingering in Dongyuan Prefecture for a while, Lin Yun returned directly to the capital of the Huoyun Empire.
Then, he headed to the Xingwu Empire.
The demon beast armies in the Xingwu Empire, Tianqian Empire, and Kunlan Empire had all retreated to the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Upon arriving at the capital of the Xingwu Empire, Lin Yun found the entire city immersed in grief, with residents spontaneously mourning the Xingwu Emperor.
News of the Xingwu Emperor’s death in the war had spread throughout the empire.
Inside the imperial palace, a memorial hall had been set up, and the entire palace was adorned in white.
