Xu Le turned and entered the inner world. This devouring was beyond his expectations. Not only did those eight guys not make a move, but even the world's own defense mechanism malfunctioned. This was no small matter. Xu Le directly stole its shadow world, like cutting off a person's left arm. And in the face of this situation, it did not react at all.
"They seem to want to..."
Xu Le pondered, while within the inner world, the shadow world rapidly merged with the inner world itself. The shape of the shadow world was not the usual ellipse, but rather like a piece of paper, its fusion with the inner world resembling an eggshell covered with a sticker.
The rules of the world gradually become perfected, and it becomes a complete part of the inner world, growing together with the inner world. The shadow of the inner world is absorbed, purified, and then expelled by the shadow world, and the cycle repeats itself.
Nine gaps opened in the air, and nine masks with hideous faces and different colors fell to the ground. A huge amount of shadow energy surged in, and nine demon generals broke through the seal and appeared, kneeling on one knee in submission to Xu Le who was floating in the air.
Xu Le summoned the Spirit List to absorb their true spirits. He was not surprised by their choices, after all, Xu Le had shown them the whole process.
With the surrender of the nine generals, tens of thousands of shadow warriors from nine legions appeared on the ground, kneeling down in unison like straw bent by the wind.
"Our Lord is supreme!"
……
Beyond a large red rock mountain in Australia, the Holy Lord chanted a spell to open a portal to another dimension, and entered it along with several other demons.
Inside the gate was a palace, decorated in an ancient and solemn style, but the stone pillars supporting the palace had collapsed several times and looked somewhat dilapidated.
In the center of the palace stood a huge book, its pages covered with glowing text that seemed to possess a powerful magic.
History of Time!
The Holy Lord stood before the Book of History, glanced back at his brothers, and under their gazes, picked up a brush and slowly wrote down what he wished to change!
"Back in ancient times, eight great demons ruled the world, and all living beings were subject to their rule, unable to resist..."
As he wrote, the power of fate fluctuated, as if time were reversed. The environment seemed to have been pressed a fast rewind button, rapidly reversing, and powerful magic surged into the demons' bodies once again.
A blood-red aura, invisible to the Holy Lord and the other demons, swirled around him as he wrote. As he continued writing, the blood-red aura grew stronger and stronger, eventually transforming into a red pattern and being branded onto his neck after he finished.
Eight illusory figures stood in the void, unaffected by the time reversal driven by the power of fate, quietly observing the Holy Lord's every move.

On the desolate land, there were no buildings in sight, only a few scattered birds, and the land was overgrown with weeds, with hardly any insects to be seen.
Thump!
A dark portal appeared in the sky, and Xu Le flew out of it. The scene before him startled him at first. He then called out to the shadow warrior who had been guarding the real world, but received no reply. It was not that the shadow warrior was defying his orders, but that it had completely disappeared.
Xu Le's divine sense seeped into the earth, and his expression became somewhat strange. He followed the aura of the shadow and discovered that the shadow world he had just devoured was still intact.
It cannot be said to be completely intact; it is still the embryonic form of the shadow world. Compared to the shadow world that Xu Le devoured, this existing shadow world is significantly smaller and has a lower energy concentration.
"The History of Time!"
As Xu Le sensed the thin shadow world and the active elements in the air, he instantly understood the reason for the current situation.
The Holy Lords continued to alter the history books according to the plot, returning the world to ancient times, and bringing all living beings under their rule.
As for Xu Le, he happened to have returned to the inner world at that time and did not feel the power of fate changing the world. However, before, Xiao Yu and others saved the world, but now Xu Le was all alone.
Xu Le wasn't stunned. He came up with an interesting idea and casually opened the gate. A large number of shadows poured out from the gate and transformed into various black shadow legions on the desolate plain. There were as many as 10,000 people, with a majestic and terrifying aura. They gathered together and turned into black clouds that blocked out the scorching sun.
"Our Lord is supreme!"
The nine generals rushed to the front and shouted, trying to make a good impression on their new master.
Xu Le nodded. The power of the snake talisman concealed his origins and identity, and the dark shadow transformed into a robe that shrouded him.
The dark, thick shadow energy transformed into a canopy, and several shadow warriors quickly bent down to serve as ladders for Xu Le to step on.
Xu Le sat in the sedan chair, the black curtains closed, and then General Ika shouted to all the shadowy warriors, "Let's go!"
Four enormous troll shadow warriors carried the palanquin, and the vast army marched toward the nearest human settlement.
A few hundred people advancing together can cause a commotion, but when an army of ten thousand marches together, the murderous aura is soaring, and within a radius of one mile, whether human, ghost, demon, or monster, all will retreat.
At this moment, shadowy figures followed the earth, sky, and underground. Although the ancient times were desolate, the tectonic plates were not significantly different. According to the reactions of the shadowy scouts, there were people living in the northeast direction.
Knock knock knock!
Several lesser demons perched on tree branches, watching the shadowy army suddenly change course. They breathed a sigh of relief, but one of the smaller, blue-haired, blue-eyed monsters exhaled deeply, saying with trepidation, "Who is that in that palanquin? They seem even more terrifying than the eight monarchs! His soldiers are still making my legs weak with fear!"
"Are you out of your mind?! How dare you speak ill of the monarch!"
Another red-haired, short demon quickly looked around and, finding no one else nearby, said with a sigh of relief, "But his army is terrifying. Could he be a newly emerged monarch?"
"I don't know. I would be satisfied if I had even a tenth of his power, no, even a one percent!"
You're still dreaming!
The chatter of the few lesser demons did not hinder the army's march. After a few incense sticks' worth of time, a stone city came into view of the generals.
Large numbers of humans dressed in coarse linen clothing came and went in the city. Without exception, they were all emaciated and were constantly being driven to work by the demons around them.
"Hurry up! If you keep slacking off like this, I'll turn you into food and offer you to Lord Howling Wind!"
A toad-like monster swung its whip, lashing it hard at a fallen slave. The slender whip left a red welt on his body, from which blood slowly seeped out. But the human dared not resist and quickly got up to continue carrying goods. Due to the continuous exertion, the wound on his body slowly cracked open and was covered by yellow dust in the sandstorm.
