Redemption of a Born Demon

The emergence of the Sleepers triggered various anomalies and disturbances across the globe. They even clashed with local militaries, leading to numerous bloody incidents.

Without exception, the Sleepers always left unscathed.

In today’s information age, news of these disturbances spread rapidly across the internet, becoming a focal point of global attention.

Swept up by the tide of public opinion, governments worldwide were forced to disclose related information to their citizens.

Fortunately, they had Donghua’s experience to draw upon. Most countries simply copied Donghua’s explanation to the public, with only minor changes to the details.

The Secret Organizations were branded as terrorist groups hidden throughout history.

The Ancient Ones, meanwhile, were classified as ruthless Evil Mages who would stop at nothing in their pursuit of power and life.

But this myth-like explanation sent the entire world into a frenzy.

"Just how strong are these people? I heard they’ve lived for over a thousand years? My God, can you even call them human?"

"It’s not that their bodies have lived for a thousand years, it’s Consciousness Transfer. But I heard they’re still incredibly strong, beyond the reach of conventional weapons. Even superpowers like Starry Sky and Donghua have a hard time subduing them."

"They say the reason these figures are appearing now is because of what’s happening in the Mediterranean Region? What on earth happened there? Why is it causing such a huge stir?"

"Rumor has it that a Divine Treasure has appeared in the Mediterranean Region. Finding it is said to grant the method to become a Divine Spirit, completely transcending the human physical form, unlocking one’s Genetic Lock, and achieving life’s ultimate evolution!"

"Missiles can’t even hurt those guys. Are they really still human? They’ve probably already unlocked their Genetic Locks, right?"

"..."

Discussions raged on social media platforms worldwide, with everyone’s attention fixed on the Mediterranean Region.

A Divine Treasure. Superhuman experts.

Some were curious, wondering what would happen with such figures gathered in the Mediterranean Region. Others were terrified; these beings were lawless, and if they acted without restraint, it would be nothing short of a natural disaster.

"Location: France. Donghua exchange student here. All outbound flights from every airport in France are completely sold out. Bookings are backed up for half a month. I can’t leave even if I want to. I was wrong, I have sinned, I never should have come here to study abroad. Mom, where’s the evacuation plan? I need help."

"Major cities along the Mediterranean coast are experiencing a mass exodus. The highways are paralyzed, clogged with people. Everyone is fleeing the area, trying to relocate to parts of their countries far from the Mediterranean Sea. I hope this storm passes quickly."

"..."

The reaction in the cities along the Mediterranean coast was the most intense. Large numbers of people had begun fleeing the cities with their families for safe zones, causing major local disturbances.

Once order breaks down and local authorities lose control, all manner of evil begins to fester.

The arrival of the Secret Organizations and the Sleepers disrupted the established order along the Mediterranean coast to a degree no less than that of a massive war.

In contrast to the wave of refugees, the naval forces of countries worldwide were converging on the Mediterranean Region. Uncontrollable elements like the Sleepers had become the greatest hidden danger in the minds of every nation.

"Everyone calm down! It’s not like those people are invincible. Didn’t the governments say that the modern Saint Realm Warriors are fighting back and have even scored some major victories?"

"Pah! You actually believe what the government says? They’re just trying to calm people down. We’re talking about monsters that even nukes can’t handle. They’re basically aliens! What normal human could possibly stop them?"

"Run! Everyone, run! If you don’t run now, you won’t get another chance!"

"..."

Online, the general sentiment regarding the modern Warriors was pessimistic.

No matter how strong Saint Realm Warriors were, they were still human. But the hidden entities that had been exposed could no longer be called human.

The turmoil continued to spread. In just a few short days, the world had begun to change dramatically.

Meanwhile, the various organizations and factions in the Mediterranean Region had also obtained accurate intelligence.

「Gibraltar, Kunca Mansion.」

The five leaders of the God-Sealing Alliance received the latest intelligence from their subordinate factions.

"According to the intelligence gathered from around the world, we can currently confirm the identities of several Sleepers: the Lord of Penglai, East King, from the Asia District; the Celestial Wolf King from North America; the Celestial Vein Lord from Australia; Saint Ivan from Eastern Europe; and the Thunder God from Northern Europe... As for any hidden entities, we have not yet been able to identify them, nor can we determine if any prehistoric beings have appeared. Our current estimate is that the total number of Sleepers from all factions participating in this incident could exceed ten."

A Celestial General reported in a low, grave voice, his expression extremely grim.

Not all Sleepers were ostentatious. Some were unwilling to reveal their whereabouts, preferring not to cause a major disturbance even after waking. Such entities are impossible to track and confirm.

The God-Sealing Alliance possessed a long history and deep foundation, holding records on many Sleepers. Thus, they had already identified the ones causing the greatest commotions.

After hearing the report, the expressions of the five leaders of the God-Sealing Alliance also grew heavy.

More than ten Sleepers was a number that far exceeded their ability to control. Even if they were prepared to use their hidden reserves, they might not be able to handle the situation.

It was safe to say that the course of events had already spiraled out of their control.

However, to fulfill their oaths and their mission, they had no room for retreat this time.
