The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

This was a wish she had been searching for for years, borrowing the power of humans, demons, and monsters, but still couldn't fulfill.

"No matter who you are, you're helping me."

She stood up, her long silver hair flowing behind her, and walked straight into the depths of the hall.

She was going to see the Demon King.

She would never miss this opportunity.

The main hall was constructed from the spine of a giant glacier, and the air was filled with a biting chill. Guan Jinyue walked through the long corridor without pausing for a moment.

In the very center of the hall, the throne, symbolizing absolute violence, lay across the room, upon which sat a towering figure, as imposing as a mountain.

That was the Bear King, a tenth-level expert of the demon race, the ruler of this place, and the person sent by the demon race to coordinate all cooperation matters with her.

"Humans!" A deep, thunderous voice boomed through the hall, causing icicles to fall from the pillars.

Those eyes, like copper bells and glowing with a blood-red light, looked down at her condescendingly: "You have disturbed my hibernation."

Guan Jinyue stopped at the bottom of the steps, not flinching in the slightest despite the terrifying pressure.

She looked up, her dark eyes cold and clear, reflecting that ferocious face.

"The seal on the Oriental Pearl Tower is crumbling."

The Bear King let out a sneer and said disdainfully, "That toy of human civilization? Even if it's shattered into dust, it has nothing to do with me."

"There is a spiritual vein inside, which connects to the core of destiny beneath Shanghai."

Guan Jinyue spoke calmly, yet every word struck at the heart of the matter: "If the seal is completely broken, the spatial rules in that area will become extremely fragile the moment the spiritual veins leak out."

Without needing to say more, the Bear King already understood her intention.

The bear king, as imposing as a mountain, slowly leaned forward, and a sense of oppression enveloped the entire space like a tidal wave.

It remained silent for a long time, then suddenly let out a low, sinister laugh: "You want to rescue your sister, while I... want to tear a rift leading to the human heart in that prosperous land."

"Guan Jinyue, if you dare to lie to me this time, I will chew you up and swallow you whole, soul and all."

Guan Jinyue ignored him, withdrew his gaze, turned and walked out of the hall, his silver hair flowing like moonlight in the dim light.

The Bear King watched as the petite figure disappeared into the snowstorm.

"Boring humans."

……

The atmosphere inside the revolving restaurant remained oppressive.

Yin Chen's expression kept changing.

Finally, he took out his phone and dialed a number in front of everyone.

The moment the call connected, he straightened his back.

His voice regained its usual composure, but carried an unprecedented seriousness.

"Grandpa, it's me, Yin Chen."

"Regarding the seal on the Oriental Pearl Tower three years ago, I want you to give me an explanation in person."

There was silence on the other end, followed by a busy tone; the call had been disconnected.

Undeterred, Yin Chen called back, only to be met with another busy signal. Clearly, Yin Chen had been blocked.

The moment the call was disconnected, a deep, loud bang came from afar, and the foundations of the entire city shook.

The entire revolving restaurant swayed slightly as a result.

Yin Chen's second uncle was so startled by the sudden tremor that he fell back to the ground, his face deathly pale.

"W-What happened? Was it an earthquake?"

No one answered him.

Everyone's attention was completely drawn to the view outside the window.

A massive, dark crack tore open the night sky of Shanghai, leaving an ugly scar on the heavens.

Then came the second, and the third.

Countless spatial rifts of varying sizes appeared out of thin air in different corners of the city.

A deep roar pierced through the cracks, and all sorts of monstrous beasts poured out of them, crashing into tall buildings and plunging into the streets, indiscriminately destroying everything in sight.

One by one, the bright city lights went out, swallowed up by the towering flames and explosions.

The distant screams and panic, even through thick glass, clearly penetrated my eardrums.

"This...this is..." Yin Chen's second uncle's lips trembled as he pointed to the apocalyptic scene outside the window, unable to utter a single complete word.

An Changqing's face darkened, and he immediately took over command at the scene.

"Mr. Yin, leave this to us. You immediately organize the people inside the tower to evacuate and prevent a stampede."

He turned to look at Su Yuehe.

"Moon Lotus, analyze the coordinates of the spatial rift."

"Yin Chen, immediately contact the Shanghai Superpower Association branch and report the situation here."

An Changqing's orders were clear and decisive.

Yin Chen suppressed the dual shocks from his family and the present situation, and took out his phone to make contact.

Looking at the chaotic scene below, Long Ao kicked a piece of glass and shattered it: "I'll go down and help first."

Before he finished speaking, he had already disappeared.

"I'll go help." Hong Yuan picked up the giant axe from the ground, slammed it heavily on her shoulder, and followed closely behind.

From the very beginning, Chen Guan did not look at the chaos on the street below.

His gaze passed over the flames and smoke, landing on the rooftop of the tallest skyscraper on the other side of the city.

Through his resonance with the spatial seal, he saw through the chaos and discovered a truth that ordinary people could not perceive.

At the top of that building, a silver-haired, black-eyed figure stood quietly. The night wind blew through her long hair. She was like an elegant conductor, and the city below, engulfed in flames, was her symphony.

Guan Jinyue.

Perhaps sensing the gaze from afar, Guan Jinyue, standing on the rooftop, slightly turned his head, his gaze precisely traversing several kilometers to meet Chen Guan's in the air.

A faint look of surprise flashed in her eyes, as if she hadn't expected someone to be able to locate her so quickly.

But she didn't stop; instead, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"I found her." Chen Guan withdrew his gaze and spoke calmly.

It's no longer in doubt who caused this commotion—the demon race, Guan Jinyue.

An Changqing immediately looked at him: "Who?"

Chen Guan did not answer, but leaped down and tried to chase the figure in the air.

It doesn't really matter who goes; if Guan Jinyue doesn't want to meet, he can simply disappear. It's better for him to go alone.

[Coffin Bro routinely takes on danger single-handedly; he's more of a protagonist than the main character himself—I'm so sad.]

Is Chen Guan going to face off against Guan Jinyue? A numerical monster versus a mechanical monster.

[Replying to the comment above, do you think the coffin mechanism is outdated?]

Seeing the comments, Chen Guan remembered that he had an old man by his side who could provide off-site support.

"Baal, could you provide some narration?"

"Hehehe, so you finally remembered Lord Baal?"

A strange, laughing voice answered his call, and Baal, who had been summoned, quickly showed his mature and reliable demonic side.

"Seeing that you've had a long journey, let Lord Baal tell you a story from the past."
