Alfred, Gavin Smith, and Emily Clark would be completely unknown names on the Boro Continent, almost nobody knows them, but in the Demon Realm, they are the terrifying trio at the pinnacle of power!

His Majesty the Undying King Alfred, His Majesty the Soulflame Hell King Gavin Smith, and Her Majesty the Soul-Stealing King Emily Clark.

The struggle among the three giants has never ceased, only quieting down in recent years, but there is still an annual gathering, a tradition that originated from a proposal by the Undying King Alfred.

“Xiao Suo, don’t take it so seriously, just treat it as playing a game with your big sister.”

Emily Clark said with a gentle laugh. The charm of the Soul-Stealing King is legendary throughout the Demon Realm, but the child in front of her still kept his head down, eyes fixed on the chessboard before him—the most popular war chess game on the Boro Continent.

Emily Clark shrugged. She had no idea where Alfred had found such a weirdo, even stranger than a demon.

She and Gavin Smith had already lost for five years straight.

“Old witch, cut the crap and stop stalling!”

Before Alfred could say anything, the Soulflame Hell King had already roared. As an all-powerful demon king, he had suffered five consecutive defeats—never in his life had he encountered such bad luck!

Emily Clark chose the Eight Great Kings faction, while the child called Little Owen naturally played the Eight Tribes.

This round was clearly tough. More than two hours passed before Emily Clark finally sighed, swept her hand, and the chessboard vanished. “I lost.”

Alfred waved his hand. “Kill!”

The demons under the Undying King began slaughtering the other two factions’ demons, while the subordinates of the Soulflame Hell King and the Soul-Stealing King did not resist, simply letting the other demons devour them.

That was the wager—the demons’ game.

“The five-year agreement is up, Little Owen. You’ve won for me for five years. Whatever you want, just say it. Whether it’s immortality or anything else, as long as I can grant it, it’s yours!”

Alfred enjoyed the awkward expressions of his old rivals as he watched the demon slaughter—this was his favorite time.

“Little Owen, come to big sister’s side. Whatever you want, big sister will give it to you!”

“Bullshit! All you have are a bunch of useless women. Little Owen, come to me, you can do whatever you want!”

The three giants of the Demon Realm were all uncharacteristically nervous. The child’s choice would determine whether they would spend the next five years sulking or basking in glory.

Little Owen slowly raised his head, and a glimmer of light finally appeared in his dull eyes. “I want to go home.”

There is never a shortage of heroes in any era, but the descendants of heroes are not necessarily heroes, and the descendants of commoners are not necessarily commoners.

Are kings and nobles born to be so?

The Thunder Emperor Blake Carter was originally the guardian of the divine race, commander of the Eight Tribes. With his unparalleled strength and leadership, he dealt a heavy blow to the Eight Great Kings of the Underworld, plunging the Netherworld into chaos and leaving it unable to invade again. But no one expected that after his great victory, he would use his power to ascend the throne, and the once-in-a-century selection of the Chosen People became irrelevant.

Of course, although Blake Carter was a rare genius commander, his rise to the throne was mainly due to the support of the Yaksha clan, the strongest among the Eight Tribes. The Yaksha King, the top expert of Boro, was also his comrade-in-arms through life and death.

After Blake Carter’s ascension, the Yaksha clan’s territory became the largest among the Eight Tribes. Previously, though the Yaksha produced many warriors, their land was always barren, severely hindering their development. Now, the Yaksha were undoubtedly the leaders of the Eight Tribes, their power even surpassing the Celestials.

After becoming the supreme ruler of the Boro Realm, the Thunder Emperor shifted from a focus on culture to valuing martial strength, elevating the status of the Eight Tribes. This was the root of his victory over the Eight Great Kings of the Underworld—power is the ultimate truth. It was also because of power that he could become the ruler, and the Yaksha clan’s current prosperity was also due to their strength.

After defeating the Eight Great Kings, Blake Carter and Logan Carter took only three years to quell the civil strife and establish a new order. Although Blake Carter valued martial prowess, he also understood the importance of balance as a leader. The Eight Tribes remained independent, but the authority of the Eight Spirit Masters, who served as civil officials, was weakened. The civil officials handled governance, but the kings of the Eight Tribes were the true rulers of their clans. This freed him from the constraints of the Eight Spirit Masters and made him a true emperor.

Currently, the strongest among the Eight Tribes are the Yaksha, Celestials, and Asuras, followed by the Dragons, Garuda, Mahoraga, Kinnara, and Gandharva. The Kinnara King and Gandharva King are both musicians, meaning both tribes are led by women.

Whether or not Blake Carter is considered a usurper, at least under his rule, the Boro Realm has entered a rare era of prosperity. The Boro people no longer fear the Netherworld, and care even less about demons.

Strength determines one’s attitude toward life.

Chapter Two: Yaksha King City

Blacknight City, as the largest city of the Yaksha clan, is undoubtedly prosperous. Under the rule of the greatest Yaksha King, Logan Carter, the Yaksha are no longer a barren land that only produces warriors, but have become increasingly wealthy, even showing signs of surpassing the Celestial capital as the largest city among the Eight Tribes. A person’s reputation casts a long shadow—Logan Carter, the number one expert in the Boro Realm, has attracted countless admirers from all races.

In today’s world, the kings of the Eight Tribes are all top experts. No one can say for sure which king is the strongest, including the Gandharva King and the Kinnara King. But if one had to pick the strongest, it would definitely be the Yaksha King, Logan Carter.
