After I stopped trying, a rich woman trained me into a demon emperor.

"The inventory will be cancelled before the goods are sent into the channel, and then they will be re-registered when they arrive in Jiangcheng."

"There's only a ten-breath gap in between; the Imperial Prince might not have time to trace it back."

The three offered their own ideas, but none of them took the initiative.

They were waiting for Zhou Ran to make a decision, to see who would bear the consequences of the passage going out of control.

Zhou Ran did not choose any of them.

He pressed all four domain seals into the unified military register, allowing the backlash to be shared by the four domain veins.

"The Illusionary Sound is responsible for concealing affiliation, the Bloodlust handles the blood pacts for supplies, and the Nine Netherworlds seal the coordinates of living beings."

"All losses will be recorded in the unified military register, so that no single region can bear the burden alone."

Huanyin glanced at him.

This arrangement is impartial and unbiased.

She made no further demands, and dark red soul power flowed from her fingertips, enveloping the first batch of supplies.

Yue Zhao's consciousness retreated to the edge of the silver moon.

She raised her hands and condensed the coordinates of the White Pagoda in Jiangcheng into a silver dot of light.

"I can only set a fixed time of 15 minutes."

"After the passage is opened, the Emperor will continuously adjust the position of his brushstrokes."

"You need to complete the first two-way verification before it finds a new target."

Zhou Ran pressed the silver light spot into the Devouring Heaven Seal.

The earth veins of the four regions hummed, and the remains of the causal anchor rose anew.

Instead of aiming at Blue Star, the black anchor followed the direction of the bone-swallowing sound transmission array and carved a crack about the thickness of a thumb between the two worlds.

The first magic crystal without a treasury was placed into the Nether Warehouse.

The magic crystal entered the crack, and black and gold spots appeared on its surface.

With a flick of her fingertips, Huan Yin covered the magic crystal with a formless soul shell, disguising it as a fragmented piece of evidence in the divine messenger's acceptance order.

Bloodlust severed the connection between the magic crystals and the Blood Sea Treasury.

Jiuyou used death energy to separate the remaining traces of the miners.

The magic crystal passed through the crack.

On the main control panel of the Jiangcheng White Pagoda, a black crystal fell from mid-air and landed next to Chen Ya.

Chen Ya reached out and caught it, sensing the rich demonic energy inside, and her tense shoulders and back relaxed.

"The channel is valid."

"The White Tower can convert demonic energy into array power, with about 60% being lost, and the remaining amount is enough to maintain the list of enemies."

Zhou Ran looked at the list behind her.

Chen Ya's name has been temporarily saved.

The black and gold ink turned to the next page, searching for the person most deeply connected to the black lines of the return path.

Lin Qingxue pressed her burning wrist and whispered a reminder.

"It bypassed the execution token."

"The next one is coming straight at me; you have at most thirty breaths left to complete the reverse transfer."

Chen Ya didn't delay.

She pulled a silver metal tube from under the White Tower's control panel and sealed it inside along with the stabilizer, the access key, and a copy of the purge list.

Xu Youwei activated her silver eyes to erase the ownership of the items.

Lin Qingxue used the Return Path Black Pattern to send the metal cylinder to the entrance of the crack.

Yue Zhao clasped her hands together, stabilizing the endpoint that was about to deviate.

The metal cylinder pierced through the barrier between the two worlds and rolled down from above the causal anchor.

Xiao Rou reached out and caught it, and Chen Ya's urgent voice came from inside the tube.

"Zhou Ran, open a copy of the list first."

"The Name-Erasing Decree contains a page of names from the Sixth Heaven!"

Xiao Rou didn't touch the seal on the metal cylinder.

She placed her natal Gu (a type of venomous insect) on the tube.

The golden worm crawled along the patterns on the white pagoda, revealing dozens of tiny black lines on its abdomen.

"There's no living Gu inside, nor is there any possessed soul."

"The black line is a nameless decree; it hides the rules in the list copy, trying to enter the Sixth Heaven through the supply channel."

Jiuyou raised his hand and snatched the metal cylinder.

The deathly aura of the underworld did not forcefully invade, but instead condensed into nine layers of black coffin phantoms outside the tube.

Stimulated by the aura of death, the black lines hidden within shrank deeper into the list.

"It can't access the military register for the time being."

"After opening the container, you only have ten breaths to read the copy. If more than ten breaths pass, you must seal the container and the copy into the Nine Nether Well."

Zhou Ran pressed down on the Devouring Heaven Seal and used the Four Domains Main Tent to separate the metal tube from the Unified Army Register.

The stabilizer and the White Tower access key that Chen Ya sent were taken out first, and the cleanup list copy was taken out last.

The list is seventeen pages long.

The first sixteen pages record the people in Jiangcheng who were targeted by the name-erasing order.

Chen Ya ranked first, followed closely by Lin Qingxue and Xu Youwei.

Xiao Rou's name is on page nine, and it is followed by several villages in southern Xinjiang.

There are no people from Jiangcheng on page seventeen.

What appeared on the paper were projections of the ley lines of Wuxiang, the Blood Sea, the Nine Netherworlds, and the Devouring Heaven Demon Palace.

The military registers of the four regions had not yet been written in, but a blank name field had appeared around the edge.

The Name Erasure Order has already reserved a place for the Sixth Heaven.

Huan Yin stood beside Zhou Ran and saw the Wuxiang Domain projection light up first, the smile in her eyes faded.

"It's quite good at picking people."

"The Formless Realm has come into contact with the Bone-Swallowing Soul Sound and has also replaced the hostage coordinates in the Causal Anchor."

"To enter the Sixth Heaven through the supplies tent, one must first pass through my soul imprint."

Bloodlust glanced at her, the tip of his gun pressing down on a corner of the list.

"If you're scared, take the Formless Domain Seal out of the military register right now."

"The Blood Sea's 300,000 troops can hold off a supply route; they don't need your illusion."

Huan Yin reached out and flicked away the gun, her tone smiling, but her dark red soul power had already enveloped page seventeen.

"I just saw its route."

"If we're really going to be afraid, we should be afraid that some Blood Sea Empress will empty the Ancestral Pool and end up not even having enough materials to condense her own blood body."

Jiuyou ignored their verbal argument.

She placed the White Tower access key above the Bone-Swallowing Transmission Array.

The array pattern inside the key connected with the coordinates of Jiangcheng, and the previously shaky cracks stabilized.

"Twelve minutes left."

"Jiangcheng needs concentrated resources, and Baita needs refining materials."

"Make a list first, we'll deal with the rest after the channel closes."

The copy of the cleansing list turned to ashes in her hands.

The black thread hidden in the pages was trapped by the shadows of the nine coffins and could not access the military register.

The god made his eyes slightly narrow.

The three peak-stage Transcending Tribulation cultivators each ruled a region, and they still harbored grudges against each other for thirty thousand years.

But they didn't withdraw any of their power.

Zhou Ran opened the catalog of the Four Domains Warehouse.

"Jiangcheng urgently needs Concentrating Jade, Array Core Crystal Core, and cold-natured materials that can repair the Silver Eye."

"Prepare the magic crystals to replenish the tower's energy, and prepare the refining ores according to the list in the access key."

Mingcang quickly checked the inventory, his face showing difficulty.

"The Devouring Heaven Demon Palace only has 370 pieces of Condensing Spirit Jade left, of which 200 pieces were distributed to the severely injured demon army."

"There are quite a few array cores, but the demonic energy is too heavy; the White Tower may not be able to withstand it."

Zhou Ran did not touch the wounded soldiers' share.

"Don't touch the 370 yuan each."

"Investigate the private bone-swallowing treasury; all Concentration Resources without legitimate accounts will be requisitioned and registered for post-war disposal."

Mingcang accepted the order and left.

Huan Yin projected the private treasury of the Phaseless Domain into the military register.

Her fingertips traced the two snow-capped peaks where the Soul-Stabilizing Sand was stored, stopping at an unregistered secret vault.

"This contains seven thousand catties of Formless Soul-Stabilizing Sand, which can stabilize the black markings on Lin Qingxue's return path."

"The materials are my private property left over from three thousand years ago, and have nothing to do with the Wuxiang Military Treasury."

When the word "private property" was mentioned, she glanced at Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran picked up his pen and wrote a line on the unified army register.

The Lord of the Formless Domain lent out 7,000 catties of Soul-Stabilizing Sand, which will be returned at market price after the battle.

Huan Yin's gaze paused slightly.

"You really intend to pay it back?"

"I took the things out, but I didn't mean to ask you for money."

Zhou Ran spoke.

"Private property and military assets must be kept separate."

"It's one thing if you're willing to provide support, but the Four Domains Chief's Office can't take advantage of you."

Zhou Ran closed the ledger and continued browsing the resources.

Huanyin stared at the loan record.

When Ye Futian was alive, he requisitioned her resources, but he never wrote down a date for their return.

Bloodlust pulled a private blood crystal mine from the blood sea veins.

"Blood crystals can neutralize demonic energy and also replenish the White Tower's array power."

"I'll borrow 100,000 coins, don't charge them at market price, and after the war, return me a teleportation array that leads directly to the Devouring Heaven Demon Palace."

Zhou Ran looked at her.

"Teleportation arrays are for military use and cannot be recorded as private loans."

"You will be refunded 100,000 blood crystals at the actual price. If you need to travel to and from the Demon Palace, you will need to apply for a separate fixed military road."

Bloodlust was just a casual probe, but when Zhou Ran clearly distinguished between military matters and private affairs, his red eyes revealed satisfaction.

"Then write it down as you said."

"We just got back those blood crystal mines from Rift Mountain, so we can use them to pay off old debts."

Jiuyou did not negotiate any terms.

She opened the fifth level of the Nine Nether Well, and patches of cold algae rose from the stagnant water.
