“Two World Island can’t hold on any longer.” Bai Yaoyue turned to look at Qin Wu. “Qin Wu, does Archean Mountain have any solutions?”
“Black Sand Grotto-Heaven snatched two treasures from outer space,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “Imperial Lord Black Sand swept through the world with them. Archean Mountain was only capable of defending against him! I believe your Black Sand Grotto-Heaven has more solutions than my Archean Mountain.”
Bai Yaoyue shook her head. “Countless sects have tried to suppress Archean Mountain, but nobody has ever wiped it out. Besides, Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven is also Archean Mountain’s. The mystic technique you revealed back then, “Millennium In An Instant,” shocked Black Sand Grotto-Heaven and Two World Island. This time, I’m afraid we will require Archean Mountain to think of a solution.”
Qin Wu sighed and said, “The demons are forcing our hand with their might! Their overall strength is much greater than ours. If this continues, we humans will definitely lose.”
Bai Yaoyue fell silent.
The demons’ strength allowed them to do whatever they wanted.
“Are we just going to let them in?” asked Bai Yaoyue.
“Archean Mountain can keep the status quo for 300 years if we use other methods,” said Qin Wu. “I believe your Black Sand Grotto-Heaven is roughly the same.”
“As expected of Archean Mountain. Your sect can defend well.” Bai Yaoyue shook her head. “We can only last 200 years at most. However, if Two World Island can’t hold on any longer, and we have to defend their abandoned small and medium-sized city passes…”
“We will definitely collapse in fifty years.”
“So do we let the demon monarchs in?” Bai Yaoyue asked. “The human world will only become crueler.”
Qin Wu said, “We don’t have the right to decide. Let’s discuss it with our sects first. We’ll discuss this further in ten days.”
“Archean Mountain’s three Supremacies and two Dao Protectors can slowly discuss it. Our Black Sand Grotto-Heaven will be much faster. We will make a decision within three days.” Bai Yaoyue smiled as she vanished. Among the three sects, Archean Mountain had the greatest freedom. Black Sand Grotto-Heaven was the strictest, while Two World Island was the most zealous. After all, Two World Island had been hunted down ever since it was created…
For the past 800 years, Two World Island only needed to deal with demons. These 800 years had been the easiest for Two World Island. Two World Island’s Godfiends enjoyed more peace than before.
Two Dao Protectors? Qin Wu frowned slightly as he watched Bai Yaoyue’s illusory figure dissipate. She even knows about Archean Mountain’s two Dao Protectors?
…
Give up the small and medium-sized passes and let the demon monarchs in? Such a plan met immense resistance from those of Black Sand Grotto-Heaven and Archean Mountain! Allowing a large number of third Firmament demon monarchs entry to the human world meant disaster. However, Two World Island governed the most medium-sized city passes. If they shirk their responsibilities, even Archean Mountain and Black Sand Grotto-Heaven were unable to take on the additional troubles.
The more insightful members knew that humans couldn’t defend against the demons forever. Now that Two World Island was planning to abandon the small and medium-sized city passes, it only accelerated the changes within Archean Mountain and Black Sand Grotto-Heaven.
…
Ten days later, Archean Mountain.
Supremacy Qin Wu, Supremacy Bai Yaoyue, and Supremacy Xu Yingwu came to a unanimous decision—humanity would give up all small and medium-sized city passes in two years!
Rather than bleeding out slowly, they might as well preserve their strength and initiate plans for humanity’s future! Furthermore, the leaders of the human world knew that there were already many demon monarchs hiding in the human world. Mortal demons and weak demon monarchs infiltrated the human world through unstable World Entrances. Archean Mountain’s Earth Net was already hunting down the demon that had infiltrated the human world. Even if they gave up on the small and middle-sized city passes, there would only be more third Firmament demon monarchs. It wasn’t something they couldn’t handle.
Of course, third Firmament demon monarchs posed a great threat. Some could reach the fourth Firmament! Compared to second Firmament demon monarchs, their destructive capabilities would be a thousand times greater!
Since the three supreme sects had decided to abandon the small and middle-sized city passes in two years, they would initiate several plans. In the two year buffer-period, the Great Relocation Plan, Inescapable Net Plan, Fire Beacon Plan, and two other major plans would be initiated. This was all preparation for the changing circumstances in the human world. They had to do their best to protect the mortals.
The Great Relocation Plan would relocate countless people to other areas. Countless people lived around the small and medium-sized city passes. For example, hundreds of thousands of people lived near North River Pass. All these people needed to be relocated! After all, the areas around the city passes would become uninhabitable if the demons were allowed to enter unobstructed.

Everything happened silently. All the preparations were carried out in secret.
As a Great Solar Godfiend, Meng Chuan didn’t know anything. He remained at North River Pass and enjoyed being a happy couple with Liu Qiyue.
Currently, it was spring. The sunlight was shining into Meng Chuan’s study room.
“It looks good.” Liu Qiyue looked at Meng Chuan’s painting. Her eyes lit up as her face turned red.
“Qiyue, this is for you.” Meng Chuan smiled and handed it to Liu Qiyue.
Liu Qiyue took the painting and stared at it, mesmerized. The painting was of a woman. Her entire body was bathed in flames; a phoenix phantom was behind her. Her bowstring was fully-drawn as her sharp eyes stared into the distance.
It was a painting of Liu Qiyue killing demon monarchs at North River Pass. This painting was just a portrait, but Meng Chuan had spent more than a month painting it. It was very detailed. Every strand of hair and even the skin on her face was drawn with great care. He had personally ground the paint.
“It’s wonderful,” Liu Qiyue said softly.
Meng Chuan hard poured his emotions into the painting. Every strand of hair seemed as if it had been combed by him personally. They grew up together and fought in life-and-death battles together. Meng Chuan was very grateful that he had Qiyue. He was grateful that Qiyue was willing to accompany him on his journey. He was also very grateful that fate allowed him to wed her.
“Qiyue, I’ll give you one every year, alright?” Meng Chuan smiled.
“Really?” Liu Qiyue was excited and happy.
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded. “I’m a man of my word.”
“Alright, alright.” Liu Qiyue was overjoyed. “By painting one every year, you can include the children when we have them. When we’re old, you can paint my white hair and elderly appearance. The paintings will record my years, and they will all be created by you personally. They will be great.”
“Alright, I’ll definitely paint you through the years.” Meng Chuan nodded.
“If I were to die fighting demon monarchs, it’d be great if I’m not old when that happens. That way, I would have eternal beauty,” said Liu Qiyue happily. “It would also be great if we can live to a ripe old age. Either way, it’d be wonderful.”
Meng Chuan was glad when he saw his wife happy. With their spouse with them, one would feel like their days were much more blissful.
He had infused his feelings for his wife into the first portrait of his wife. He had sought answers from his inner self during the creation of this portrait, and it caused his Essence Soul to change slightly. However, his Essence Soul was still far from reaching the third stage.
…
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed since their wedding. In the past year, the demons had only attacked North River Pass once. They had eight elite demon monarchs once again. The demon monarchs also had various defensive domains. They didn’t engage in close combat with Meng Chuan, and neither did Meng Chuan charge into the domains rashly.
No matter how strong he was, the domains would weaken him by thirty percent. It was very dangerous to rush in. The demons probably wanted to probe Meng Chuan’s true strength, attempting to bait him into attacking them. However, Meng Chuan was very cautious and didn’t act rashly. The demons returned without any meaningful results. They lost 70,000 mortal demons and 39 second Firmament demon monarchs.
In the past year, Meng Chuan had reinforced a city four times as a Patroller. He reinforced one prefecture city and three county cities with great success.
3rd February, night.
“Junior Brother Meng.” Zhang Yunhu secretly brought someone over.
Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue had walked out of the study and welcomed them.
“Uncle-Master,” said Meng Chuan.
“Master.” Extremely excited, Liu Qiyue bowed. It was Liu Qiyue’s master, Marquis Heavenstar.
