The Lionheart King Charlie, Tookero, and other heroes of the Eighth Divine Era exited the stage, replaced by Solomon, Avalon, and other heroes who reached the summit.

Humanity reconstructed over thirty planets, with the largest one serving as the main habitat.

This planet is called: Britannia.

The two strongest heroes of the Eighth Divine Era, Lionheart King Charlie and Tookero, could not accept being left behind by the era, nor could they accept that they were not even a match for an ordinary resident of the Ninth Divine Era.

They chose to end their own lives.

When people built mythic tombstones for them and laid the body of these legendary heroes to rest, it also signified the end of a great era.

"We still believe in Cain!"

Because of the civilization's foundation, they continued to serve the remarkably weak Emperor.

Yet, just when everything reached its prime, surprises were only beginning.

....

"Is this the world outside?"

"As the Demon King, I've finally smuggled to the outside; my intelligence is gradually restoring."

"It's so bustling here; it's like a towering green giant tree comparable to a star with meteors hanging like bells from its eaves, and residents using planetary belts as towels…"

"What kind of exaggerated world is this!?"

"Fifth Tier, Sixth Tier civilizations are not even on the same level!"

Attached to a lion's shadow, Behemoth finally awakened after millennia of smuggling.

"I've been hiding so long before awakening, I shouldn't be discovered."

Upon opening his eyes, he found his Shadow Divine Object was gone, apparently unable to bring it out.

Without the Divine Object, he could no longer be the Demon King.

But he didn't mind; rather, he felt his body, sensing the outside world.

"This is the outer realm, full of Sixth Tier powerhouses?"

"Even if I cultivate to Fifth Tier Peak, I fear I cannot defeat any of them."

He had lost his Shadow Divine Power, but the injection he administered before was extraordinary.

Within it, he secretively collected some Newborn Divine Power bestowed upon the gods by the Longevity Divine Spirit.

With that injection, he attained Newborn Divine Power within his body, which constantly regenerated his Shadow Magic.

This enabled him to use Shadow Divine Power, even without the Shadow Divine Object, as a pseudo-Demon King.

This was why he hid within the shadows of infants, quietly smuggling out.

The world of the gods, possessing numerous divine powers, was too despairing.

He thought it better to expand externally.

"One day, I will definitely return to become a god among gods once more."

He harbored great ambitions in his heart.

But a year later, he discovered something prehistoric was amiss.

It turned out the Sixth Tier was so despairing, and the gods did what they did, prohibiting breakthroughs, ultimately for the good of their civilization.

In his despair, new thoughts emerged,

"I will continue to conceal myself, waiting for an opportunity."

...

Millennia of the Divine Era.

Humanity finally arrived at the Tenth Divine Era.

The Ninth Divine Era heroes of Avalon and Solomon also exited the stage.

They left behind their heroic legendary tales and chose to retire and die of old age.

Even after countless years, the myths and legends of Solomon and Avalon still circulated.

The Tenth Divine Era was the peak period when all mysteries of the Sixth Tier reached their pinnacle, revealing the final secrets to mankind.

Humanity discovered at this time that they no longer had the ability to procreate.

They began becoming sterile.

Their previous mode of reproduction would produce an energy called baby essence as procreative infant energy.

Through their current reproductive mode, their vibrant evolved power of baby essence began transforming into a more vigor-evolving power.

This was a force that mastered all natural phenomena.

They called it: Aether.

Humanity had reached the pinnacle at this point.

"Tenth Divine Era, we have reached the end; there are too many of us, and the reason why there is no internal strife is because of the foundational gift of the Goddess of Virtue!"

"Praise God, praise Virtue!"

Great Britain's Divine Era humans began to protect more zealously the three foundational lines bestowed by the Goddess of Virtue.

These three lines respectively represented wisdom, love, and kinship.

Behemoth finally found a suitable Tenth Tier ordinary citizen, a coward, easy to control.

Corrupted and degraded by his Shadow Divine Power.

"Have you really decided to erase yourself and practice my cultivation technique?"

"I've decided, I have no love for this world!"

"Good, I will avenge this world for you, as long as you willingly practice my cultivation technique so I can control your body through this shadow."

"Are you really planning to do this? You're just a shadow. It's barely conceivable that your power could even reach one percent of a normal person, and you still wouldn't be able to beat any of them!"

"I have my reasons! I want to undertake a small experiment! I want to let the era of the Demon King descend in this era! Because I'm the most wicked Demon King."

It is a Demon King's nature to do evil, regardless of loss or gain, so what?

They, with a 100% compatibility, are inherently bad people; do they need a reason to do bad things?

"Even if I'm just a Fifth Tier, I will make the rivers of this world run red."

...

Behemoth began controlling this Tenth Divine Era citizen's shadow, approaching the civilization's three foundations.

Because in this era, everyone held onto the pillars of civilization.

Thus, the defense was lax, and no one noticed anyone trying to approach these three foundational gods.

First, he targeted the woman representing the wisdom foundation.

He approached her and quickly became friends with her.

Over ten years, he continuously administered an addictive drug that reduced her wisdom.

"Even if she's cured, she will be the drooling kind."

"Her wisdom has plummeted, so the foundation of wisdom will be destroyed!"

He subtly drugged her, ensured the drug would fully manifest in thirty years, and then quietly left.

Next, he moved on to the kinship foundation.

This was a middle-aged man who highly valued kinship.

After a full year of research, Behemoth couldn't find a way to alter his perception of kinship and make him fall.

Because Behemoth was not his kin and could not enter his circle of close friends.

So he sought the third foundation of love.

He found the woman.

"This world is still too simple, too naive."

"Just watch how this Demon King manipulates hearts, seducing this woman as a pretty boy to cheat on her husband."

"There's no wall corner that can't be worn down, only hoes that aren't sharp enough!"

He then transformed into an intelligent and kind young man, became the neighbors with this woman, and sweet-talked behind her husband's back, saying various things about how he was lacking here and there.

This created a rift for the woman.

Over thirty years through sheer persistence, he successfully swayed her, frequently meeting in secret and hiding in her closet whenever her husband came back.

With this, he led the pure-hearted woman astray, causing the foundation of love to crumble.

Once assured of her fall, he left again.

"Could there be a problem with the foundation?"

By now, some were beginning to feel that the societal atmosphere was somewhat amiss.

There were various issues between couples.

This attracted some Tenth Divine Era heroes from Great Britain to investigate.

"I need to speed up!"

Behemoth knew time was urgent and returned to search for the kinship foundation.

The middle-aged man very much valued kinship.

This time, because the foundation of love had collapsed, Behemoth assassinated the son-in-law of the middle-aged man and lured his daughter into straying.

Using the collapsed love foundation, he seduced the widow, rightfully becoming part of the family.

Then, he began his manipulations.

As a family member, he started to meddle, disrupting the family's atmosphere.

"I am your family; what's wrong with enduring a little?"

"I am your family, it's just borrowing a bit of money."

Ultimately, the father-in-law who valued kinship could not endure any more and began falling apart.

Thus, the foundations of wisdom, love, and kinship all crumbled!

"What's happening?"

"It's not good!"

The world finally started to descend into chaos.

Cain noticed all of this immediately and went to investigate the three foundations, and the outcome left him in despair.

Cain, very clever, quickly began to retrace all occurrences.

"Only those without foundations, unaffected by them, could destroy them!"

"But that's impossible; how could anyone be beyond civilization's foundational control?"

"Unless the person holds innately evil powers, like the Demon King!"

Cain, having heard Adam and Eve speak of the history of the World of Gods, began to suspect the Demon King's arrival.

Thus.

He decisively chose to escape.

"With the three foundations destroyed, the order of civilization collapses, and ancient despair and darkness will return; no longer will respect for elders and care for the young exist; only might will rule..."

"And children, being stronger than their predecessors, will kill us fathers."

Cain became bewildered, and once again began to flee.
