Three years ago in Stone City, Gao Lan had acted with incredible speed, erecting a barrier ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) to seal off the sky-and-earth anomaly the instant it appeared—and by sheer luck managed to spirit Ye Yu out of danger.
Yet the rumor that the “Demon Child of Heaven’s Decree” had arrived spread far and wide. Every demon who had witnessed the cosmic disturbance was convinced that this boy must be blessed with tremendous fate. Some even proclaimed openly that whoever possessed him would command all Six Realms. Though exaggerated, many believed it without question: what other demon child’s birth could have summoned such a spectacular celestial phenomenon? The title “Heaven-Mandated Demon Child” was, they agreed, well deserved.
But where was this Heaven-Mandated Demon Child now? No one could say for certain. Under the surface, the demon world simmered with intrigue as the lords of every domain hunted for Ye Yu’s whereabouts. No one suspected Gao Lan himself, for on that fateful day he had deliberately altered his appearance and moved too swiftly—apart from Wu Yao, no one even knew he had gone inside. Thus the secret remained safe... for a time.
To protect Ye Yu completely, Gao Lan knew he must conceal him not only from outsiders but even from many within his own clan—Ye Yu’s potential was simply too dazzling. As the boy grew, the heavenly signs around him showed no sign of fading; if anything, they intensified. The scarlet aura of demon qi still whirled about him, and the faint silhouettes of ancient demon spirits flickered into view. In such a state, anyone who looked on would remark instantly: this child truly bore divine destiny.
So Gao Lan hid him on the rear slopes of the clan’s mountain. But how long could one keep a child secluded—hundreds or a thousand years—with no chance even for the most basic travels? Such a tedious regimen would severely test any demon’s spirit.
Fortunately, Gao Lan’s worry was soon dispelled. When Ye Yu reached three and a half years old, all those celestial signs vanished. He looked every bit like an ordinary young demon cub, with no hint of the miracle he had once been. Gao Lan rejoiced. Before Ye Yu matured, it was vital that he remain inconspicuous—after all, Gao Lan was only at Demon Sovereign rank, not Demon Emperor; many in the demon world were stronger than he. To raise Ye Yu safely would require utmost discretion.
But while Gao Lan was relieved, Ye Yu’s parents—Ye Jing and Zhao Baihui—worried. Did the loss of those heavenly signs mean he had forfeited the favor of fate? Would it hinder his future growth? Gao Lan, having never encountered such a situation, could only test the boy’s innate talent.
“Hm,” he muttered as he assessed Ye Yu’s potential. “Still the same—exceptional talent. No problem.”
“Crouch down to launch higher!”
