[ Past: Hundred years ago…]

The simple happy life of the demon god and his family was about to change.

One day, one guardian warrior had seen the demon god wandering in the mountain forest together with little Zhen- Zhen. He secretly followed them until he found out where the demon god was hiding.

The day after, that guardian warrior informed the leaders of the human sects regarding what he had discovered.

They spent their whole day planning on how they would launch a surprise attack against the demon god.

On the same day, all the guardian warriors were summoned. Their next move was already set in stone.

They found it! They found the weakness of the demon god. The weakness that would be the cause of his downfall.

Human sects would ensure that the day after tomorrow, the demon god would completely disappear in this world. He would no longer be a threat to humanity. Humans would get the revenge they wanted for their fallen brothers and sisters.

They had only one goal in mind: Kill the demon god!

Zu Wan left Eva and Zhen-Zhen to their home as he went to the mountain, hunting for their food. Today was the exact date when Zhen-Zhen was born to this world a year ago. They would celebrate her first birthday.

After a half-hour of hunting, Zu Wan managed to catch five wild boars in the mountain.

“Hmm, there will be a feast today. I wonder if Eva and Zhen-Zhen can finish all of these.” Zu Wan mumbled to himself.

Unconsciously, the demon god’s lips twitched into a gentle smile just thinking about his wife and his cute little daughter. He felt content having them by his side.

The happiness and joy they brought to his life were priceless. It won’t be replaced by anything even by power. He was willing to sacrifice his great power just to protect this happiness.

He was no longer the ruthless and vicious demon god who loved to wreak havoc in this human world. Now, he was just a loving husband and a doting father to his family. He wanted to remain that way.

But things didn’t go the way he wanted. The retribution came to him unexpectedly. Some people came to bring his Karma and punished him for the sins he committed in the past.

When the demon god reached their home, he didn’t see his wife nor his child inside the cave. They were gone. He searched for them everywhere, but he failed. He couldn’t find them.

The moment he came back to the cave, he saw a note, written in blood.

~ COME TO THE MOUNTAIN PEAK IF YOU STILL WANT TO SEE YOUR FAMILY ALIVE ~

Zu Wan was furious after reading the note. His wife and his daughter were taken away. His enemies were using them to threaten him.

“I won’t forgive them! If they dare to touch even a single strand of hair of my wife and my daughter… I will kill them all!” Zu Wan had sworn to himself.

Fuming with rage, the demon god didn’t waste his time as he flew towards the mountain peak. He didn’t care anymore. He could no longer hide his real identity from Eva. He must do something to save them even if his wife would hate him in the end.

The hatred and anger consumed Zu Wan. His eyes were burning red like a fire. His gray scales which looked like a scale of a dragon appeared on the different parts of his body. The two black horns could be seen in his forehead. He transformed into the same demon god people were afraid of before.

When he reached the mountain peak, he could see different people having different magical powers. They were waiting for him.

“WHERE IS MY FAMILY!” Zu Wan yelled at them.

His voice was so cold and threatening, filled with killing intent. By just hearing it could send shivers to their bodies.

“The demon god is here. Be ready. We must kill him today!” One of the guardian warriors shouted to his fellows.

All of them were now in their fighting position. The shamans started to chant and cast their incantations. They built a barrier around the mountain peak, trapping the demon god as well as themselves.

Zu Wan started to release fireballs towards them. But the element wielders used their powers to block his attacks. They used water and air elements to extinguish his fireballs.

However, the demon god manipulated the air elements to strengthen his fireballs. Some guardian warriors were hit.

“Argh!” They screamed and squealed after their bodies got in contact with his fire.

“Fire and Air elements have no use against him!” One warrior shouted.

The healers immediately responded to heal their wounded warriors. The fight continued. The hybrids also charged towards the demon god and attacked him in various directions.

But Zu Wan’s body was as strong as steel, so indestructible. Even though they combined their powers, the guardian warriors were still at a disadvantage. The demon god was really powerful.

“We have no choice. Let’s do our last resort. Bring them in!” The leader of the guardian warriors instructed.

In just a few moments, two hybrids walked to the center holding Eva and Zhen-Zhen.

“Demon god, stop attacking! Or else we will kill your wife and your daughter!”

Zu Wan stopped mid-air when he saw his wife and his daughter being held in place by his enemies.

“Eva!” He called her out.

Eva gazed up only to see Zu Wan in his demon form.

“Zu Wan??… Y-You are…the d-demon god!?” Eva mumbled in disbelief.

She couldn’t believe it. Her husband… was the demon god.

Zu Wan froze after seeing the expression of Eva.

‘No! Don’t hate me, Eva! Please don’t!’ Zu Wan was screaming in his mind right now.

He felt like his heart was being squeezed as of this moment. He could endure any pains but… the hatred coming from his wife… he didn’t know if he could handle it.
