Dancing in the Legendary Sea

My heart, my lover.
Do not pretend to be unaware of our darkness, deceived by omnipotence.
We are children of chaos, born from the pool of blood and moans.
Cruelty and indifference are inherent traits that cannot be erased, and at times, we exhibit intense obsession.
Chaos has bestowed upon us so much skill and talent, even though we are beings with no desire to contribute to anything real.
Instead, we exist as beings that embrace destruction to overcome decadence.
The order, conscience, and ethics that humans desperately want to protect…
To them, such concepts hold no value or meaning. They do not even understand what it means to be cruel.
“You know, don’t you?”
If you are only pretending to know… Would you also scornfully push me away?


Demeter’s Daughter

[Start as an Abomination] [Eldritch Cultivation] [Recruiting Demons] [Protecting Humanity] [Misunderstanding Followers] [No Romance] 
Chen Zhou transmigrates into a bizarre world overrun by demons and rampant with eldritch horrors.
Here, monsters slaughter humans, spirits torment the living, and Immortals feast upon mankind. Malevolent forces run wild, demons are arrogant, Gods and Buddhas have perished, and the path of humanity is in decline.
Fortunately, the entity Chen Zhou transmigrated into isn’t human either. He begins his journey as an Evil Spirit and activates the Evil God System.
Fresh blood, flesh, souls—whatever an Evil God requires, he can sacrifice it all. As long as he offers sacrifices, he becomes stronger!
But… the system never specified that he had to sacrifice humans, right? Chen Zhou falls into deep contemplation.
[Sacrificed a common 100-year Black Snake Demon. Unlocked Special Building: The Blood Prison Pool!] 
[Sacrificed a Malignant Spirit that slaughtered a city in a vain attempt to become Immortal. Unlocked Minion: The Paper General!] 
[Sacrificed a millennial Living Corpse. Unlocked Exclusive Ability: White Bone Ghost Domain!] 
From that day forth, Chen Zhou established a city within his Ghost Domain. He slaughters Immortals, demons, and spirits alike; he recruits ghostly servants and evil attendants; he shelters the human race, basking in the faith of the masses to prove his Dao as an Evil God.
“Since the Gods and Buddhas of this world refuse to offer salvation, it is up to me, an Evil Spirit, to protect all living beings.”
Using the body of an abomination to stand as an impregnable fortress, performing acts of blessing and grace.

Demonic Beings? Obviously Auspicious Omens!

After hatching endless plots and suffering innumerable hardships, the demons of the Demonic Realm finally managed to resurrect the Ancient Demon King.
The demons of the Demonic Realm had hoped that the Ancient Demon King would not only lead them in waging a war against the Heavenly Realm and enable them to lord their superiority over the Immortals, he would also ultimately gain control over the entire realm.
Gradually, however, they discovered that their thoughts were very, very wrong.
Whilst it is true that this Ancient Demon King still retains his aura of superiority and possesses unlimited powers, he…
He seems to be a mental case…
It’s alright even if he changes orders and does things in an incomprehensible way.
But what’s with his habit of muttering under his breath, nagging and conversing with himself the entire day!
Small Orchid: He’s not ill, he’s just despicable (贱jian)…can’t stand to see (见jian) people live a good life.
Dong Fang: I am only unable to endure seeing you live a good life.
Small Orchid: …
*T/N: The Chinese pronunciation for the word “despicable” is the same as the word “see” – thus, the author is trying to show that Small Orchid, while trying to scold Dong Fang, is also careful not to incur his wrath, which is why she tried to imbue another meaning into her sentence after scolding him.
