After tormenting Sagittarius for a while, the King of Greed said, "Your struggle is futile. You are suppressed by the contractual power of the King of Hell; you cannot possibly resist my reign. However, I also know that you exhausted a lot of energy fighting the Second World last time. You should have been allowed to rest, but now is the critical moment for refining the Second World. I must continuously draw strength from you. Once the Second World is refined, I’ll let you rest!"

At this moment, his tone was tempting, skillfully combining force with enticement.

Huang Yi looked at the tortured Sagittarius and suddenly felt pained in his heart.

A dignified Creator Ancestral Spirit reduced to a beast of burden, overworked without rest.

But it’s bound by the Master-Servant Contract with the King of Hell, never to rebel.

Unless... an accident happens. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

At this time, an asteroid happened to brush past Huang Yi, speeding towards Sagittarius.

Huang Yi simply attached himself to the asteroid, traversed the long distance, and impacted Sagittarius’s head.

Compared to the enormous body of Sagittarius, the asteroid was like a speck of dust, causing no harm.

Huang Yi seized this opportunity and jumped onto Sagittarius’s head.

Sagittarius’s body seemed like a vast world, with the lines on its skin resembling majestic mountain ranges, stretching endlessly.

Huang Yi set his direction, crossing mountain ranges and rivers, and flew to a giant cliff.

Beneath the cliff was a huge abyss that extended to the horizon, like a boundary dividing worlds.

This giant abyss was the mouth of Sagittarius.

However, from Huang Yi’s perspective, the abyss’s boundaries weren’t visible, so he couldn’t notice when Sagittarius was opening or closing its mouth.

"Roar!" Suddenly, a massive sound wave rushed out from below the abyss, shaking the earth and mountains, causing rocks to roll. Even Huang Yi, flying through the air, was blown away by the vibrating air currents.

Fortunately, he stabilized himself in time; otherwise, the roar would have blown him to the distant starry sky.

After a while, the sky-shattering roar finally paused, and Huang Yi quickly flapped his wings to fly to the bottom of the abyss and into Sagittarius’s mouth.

Upon descending to a certain depth, it was pitch dark ahead, all starlight blocked outside.

Huang Yi stopped descending, turned his head and surveyed around, saying, "Sagittarius, I am the God of Slaughter from the Second World and the New Generation of Grim Reaper! I have come to rescue you!"

His voice wasn’t loud, nor was it addressed to anyone in particular, like someone speaking to themselves in the dark. But he believed that with Sagittarius’s strength, it would surely hear.

All around was quiet, not a sound was heard; Sagittarius didn’t roar again. Huang Yi felt as if he was in an ordinary abyss, not inside a being.

After a while, a faint light appeared from deeper down in the abyss, rising towards him.

He saw a translucent Sagittarius, glowing faintly and flying towards him from the end of the darkness. Its size wasn’t much larger than Huang Yi’s, like a regular beast.

It trotted over to Huang Yi, bent its knees, and slowly lay down, gazing at Huang Yi with tired eyes.

Huang Yi looked at those tired eyes, deeply realizing how long it had been laboring, its spirit too weary, so much so that even its manifested form was in a resting posture.

Huang Yi breathed a little relief, revealing a peaceful smile, saying, "I know you loathe the Demon Clan and have always yearned for freedom. Coincidentally, the Demon Clan is also my great enemy; we can join forces to resist them."

Sagittarius remained expressionless, seemingly having endured slavery for too long, its heart numbed, without hope for freedom. Huang Yiguang couldn’t stir its emotions with mere words.

Huang Yi didn’t say more, with a flick of his palm, he retrieved something from the storage ring—

It was a Divine Crystal Vial containing a drop of magical liquid that twisted into a spiral symbol, resembling an ancient script.

Upon seeing that drop of liquid, Sagittarius instantly stood up with a "swish," its previously spiritless eyes bulging, bloodshot, revealing an intensely greedy desire.

Huang Yi shook the Divine Crystal Vial, saying, "You must know what this is. I bought this Pact of Water at a high price from an interstellar smuggler. It can wash away the Master-Servant Contract between you and the King of Hell, restoring your freedom of the body!"

As Huang Yi spoke, he clutched his hand, hiding the Divine Crystal Vial in his palm, out of Sagittarius’s sight.

He stared at Sagittarius’s desirous eyes and continued, "However... you must agree to one condition! I can’t give you this vial of Pact of Water for free. You must promise that once you regain freedom, you will fully devastate the Demon Race Microcosm. With your strength, you can turn the Demon Race Microcosm upside down, perhaps even kill one or two Demon Kings themselves. By causing chaos in the Microcosm, the Demon Clan will have no time to refine the Second World and will be forced to deal with you. But the King of Hell will take a long time to subdue you again, giving you ample time to escape. By then, the Demon Clan will be heavily damaged, and I will lead a group of Heaven-Sent Men to launch an offensive against the Demon Clan, diverting them from pursuing you."

Sagittarius stared intently at Huang Yi’s tightly clenched hand, its gaze seemingly piercing through his flesh, fixating on that drop of Pact of Water inside.

After a while, it nodded heavily, its desire transformed into hatred.

Rage accumulated through several eras could finally be unleashed!

Strength suppressed through several eras could finally be fully released!

The Demon Clan hated through several eras could finally be slaughtered at will!

It had waited countless years, finally reaching this day!

"Alright! I’ll grant you freedom right now!" With that, Huang Yi re-opened his palm, revealing the Divine Crystal Vial.

He moved his fingers and opened the vial cap, aiming the bottle mouth downward.

The next moment, the drop of liquid flowed out along a graceful trajectory, suspended in the boundless darkness, like the sole light during the chaos of cosmic creation, the only glimmer of hope amidst endless darkness.

This drop of liquid seemed so insignificant compared to the vastness of Sagittarius.

Quickly, it fell into the abyss below, vanishing from sight.

At this moment, the billions of beings in the Second World were still suffering, the avatars of the Six Great Demon Kings still tirelessly refining the Second World, the Demon Race Microcosm still teeming with endless demons, the King of Greed’s true form still parasitic on Sagittarius...

Aside from Huang Yi, no one knew that a drop of liquid that shouldn’t exist had appeared within Sagittarius.

The beings of the Three Realms, from ants and insects to world-shaking heroes, had no idea that history would begin now!

It would start from this single drop of liquid!
