【Writing Full-Time Magister for the first time, I don't know much about it. As for the heroine, it depends on the plot's direction. However, those who insist on a single heroine and no ship-breaking, don't bother reading; it's impossible. When I go crazy, even I don't know what kind of stuff I'll write.】

The azure sky, the bright sunshine, the snow-white clouds.

In the courtyard, a young man with short black hair was pouring out his youth.

A simple and ordinary wooden short sword was being swung quite smoothly in the young man's hands.

"What on earth are you?"

Lv Cheng sat cross-legged on the ground, sticking the Wooden Sword into the grass in front of him.

He, Lv Cheng, a transmigrator; before this, he was a miserable postgraduate entrance exam candidate, grabbing both the civil service and postgraduate exams, grabbing both the national and provincial exams, and then grabbing for a stable career position.

On the night before he died, he was still holding this peach wood sword, which he had found for two hundred yuan from an old man at a roadside stall, performing rituals and praying to the images of the Three Pure Ones on his tablet.

Hoping they would bless him to successfully "get ashore."

After the prayer, he started staying up late to study again.

Then, he died of overwork.

The moment he opened his eyes, he found he had turned into a crying infant.

The Three Pure Ones were indeed reasonable; the best way to "get ashore" was not hard work, but reincarnation!

However, the Magic world, Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, Ye Xinxia, Bo City...

Full-Time Magister!

It seemed he hadn't just simply reincarnated; he had also transmigrated.

Moreover, this Wooden Sword had followed him over.

According to his long-missing parents, on the night he was born, there was lightning and thunder, a great gale blew, and then, this Wooden Sword descended from the sky, turning into a stream of light and flying to his side.

It was fortunate that this was a Magic world, otherwise, he felt he would have become a protected animal the moment he was born.

"If you really are some kind of divine weapon, could you show some spirit?"

Lv Cheng put away the Wooden Sword, which turned into a two-inch-sized Wooden Sword Pendant, hanging in front of him.

Being able to grow and shrink was the only magical thing about this sword so far.

At its largest, it could become a three-foot long sword; at its smallest, it was the current two-inch pendant.

If this sword really was some kind of divine weapon, wasn't it time to show some spirit?

More than three months ago, he had completed his Magic Awakening at Tianlan Magic High School; perhaps it was the talent from his parents, or perhaps it was the influence of this sword, but he awakened the Summoning Element.

During this time, he had been meditating with a calm heart; perhaps due to his innate talent, yesterday, he had successfully controlled seven stars and connected them into a Star Orbit.

At the same time the Star Orbit was connected, the connection between him and the Small Wooden Sword became more obvious, and this sword could now float on its own.

Now, he was preparing to perform his first Dimensional Summoning.

"Let's see if you can bring me good luck."

"Three Pure Ones and Four Sovereigns, Five Elders of the Five Directions, Imperial Heaven and Queen Earth, Goddess Nüwa, please reward me with something good!"

"Fierce beasts are fine, I'm not picky about divine beasts either!"

After the prayer, Lv Cheng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and connected the Summoning Element stars in his spiritual sea, forming a crescent-like Star Orbit.

The next instant, a golden Sword Qi shot out from the void, splitting open a crack above the Star Orbit.

A terrifying suction force erupted from the crack, and Lv Cheng's vision went black as he lost consciousness.

"……"

"Old thing! It's all your fault! I had clearly already conquered the world! Yet you helped those humans destroy everything I had!"

"Fool! It was you who betrayed me!"

"I surpassed you! You should be proud of me!"

"……"

Awakened by the sounds of arguing and fighting, Lv Cheng opened his eyes.

This was a space without sun, moon, stars, or earth; both upward and downward directions were bottomless, and the background appeared to be a brownish-red, dusk-like dim sky, with an unknown light source preventing it from being in total darkness.

Gravity seemed very weak, and many conical rocks of different sizes were floating in the air, unaffected by gravity; some of these floating rocks moved slowly, while others were in a static state.

Lv Cheng was floating above the floating rocks in a soul state.

"What the... Hell?"

Lv Cheng looked on in a daze at the two... Demons fighting in front of him!

One of them had a dragon head and a human body, its eyes flashing with red light, its face ferocious and evil, revealing a bloodthirsty and cold expression; the shape of its head was like fire, the spikes on the sides of its face were like sharp knives, its mouth resembled a crocodile's, with sharp teeth and claws, a long snake-like tongue, and eight dragon horns similar to those of an ox, resembling a mix between a dinosaur and a Nian beast.

As for the other, it had a pair of strange horns on its head, three whiskers on its face, a pair of large wings, a more massive body, sturdy pectoral muscles on its chest, and thick arms... it looked like a monster created by forcibly piecing a bunch of things together.

"Shendu... Xiaolong?"

Then this is, Demon Hell?

Holy crap?!

How did he get brought here?

Among these ancestors here, which one could he possibly summon?

"Oh? Look what I've found?"

A brisk voice rang out, and with a strong wind blowing, a demon with gray-blue skin and huge bat wings flew in front of Lv Cheng.

"A human?"

"Ximu?" Lv Cheng's eye twitched wildly.

Damn! You've got to be kidding me, right?

Even if you didn't intend to give him something good, you didn't have to make him reincarnate again, did you?

No! This is Demon Hell! He wouldn't even have the chance to reincarnate!

"Oh? You recognize me?" Ximu landed on the rock in front of Lv Cheng, extending his claws, wanting to grab this human soul that had run in from who knows where.

"Hm?"

He couldn't grab him!

"A human?"

Hearing Ximu's movement, the other demons who were waiting elsewhere for the endless years to wear them down gathered around.

"Hell has been completely sealed, how could a human soul break in?"

The one speaking was a tall, humanoid demon with four arms, light blue skin, a long tongue lolling from his mouth, wearing a red and purple Daoist robe, with long, flowing hair that was black with a purple sheen, looking steady, calm, and somewhat arrogant.

The Moon Demon—Zhou Lan!

As he spoke, Zhou Lan raised a hand, manipulating dark gravity, wanting to grab the human soul before him.

"How can this be?" Zhou Lan was stunned.

He couldn't grab him!

It was as if he didn't exist!

Zzzzt!!

Boom!

A burst of lightning suddenly erupted, passing through Lv Cheng's soul and blasting the floating rock beneath his feet into powder.

"Zhong Su! What are you doing? You struck me!" Ximu blew on his smoking tail.

"Human, tell me, how did you get in!" Zhong Su had lightning gathering in his hands.

"Otherwise, I will blast your soul into fragments!"

"Stop messing around!" Zhou Lan waved his hand, knocking Zhong Su flying away.

Eternal Hell has been completely closed!

For this human to be able to enter, perhaps he accidentally found some gap!

A gap!

They still had a possibility of regaining their freedom!

"Human, tell me the method you used to come here; as a reward, I will grant you the power of a demon."

Zhou Lan looked just like a gentleman, and as the eldest of the Eight Demons, his strength was on par with Shendu at his peak.

"The power of a demon?"

Having just experienced several life-and-death moments, Lv Cheng was still a bit dazed.

How could Dimensional Summoning have thrown him into Demon Hell?

"Hm?" Zhou Lan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Something was wrong; being unable to touch him meant this human was not a true soul entering Hell, but merely a projection of a soul. But, if it was just a projection, why could this human feel the Demon Qi?

Could it be...

"Withdraw your Qi," Zhou Lan said.

"Withdraw our Qi?" Ximu was taken aback.

"Isn't this human a phantom? He can..."

"..."

Not knowing what they had thought of, the expressions of the gathered demons changed drastically.

Eternal Hell had been completely sealed; this place was pure "Yin," and the power of Righteous Qi could not affect the existences here. If an existence of "Yang" entered here, it would not be protected by Righteous Qi energy.

For this person to be able to travel into Demon Hell and face Demon Qi without collapsing, there was only one possibility!

A descendant of an Immortal God!

Thinking of this, the demons hurriedly moved closer to Zhou Lan, and Zhong Su, who had just intended to attack, also calmed down.

The Immortal Gods had already left Reality, but like the demons, they would not disappear. To maintain the Yin-Yang Balance of the world, the Immortal Gods would not act directly, but would only strengthen the energy of Righteous Qi through "inheritance."

Creating descendants!

This was the simplest and most direct method!

Just like Shendu created his son, Xiaolong.

This human was a descendant created by some Immortal God!

"Whose descendant are you?" Zhou Lan asked.

Just as Xiaolong inherited the Fire Demon Qi from Shendu, the descendants of Immortal Gods would likewise inherit the power of that god.

He had been sealed by He Xiangu; if this human was a descendant of He Xiangu, then he would be completely powerless before this human!

"A descendant?" Lv Cheng finally calmed his mood.

"What descendant?"

How on earth did Jackie Chan and the others fight these demons?

This pressure—just standing here, he felt it was hard to breathe!

"Hasn't he awakened yet?" Ximu wondered.

The descendants of Immortal Gods, like the reincarnations of those Saint Warriors, would not awaken their power directly; only after passing the trials set by the Immortal Gods would their power gradually manifest.

However, the blessing of the gods would prevent these descendants from being eroded by darkness; in Hell, the power of demons could not harm these descendants of the gods!

"Why don't we take turns trying?" Ximu suggested.

"What if something goes wrong?" Basha worried.

They had been worn down by time in the Eternal Hell, and their wisdom and strength had been greatly weakened, but the power of the Immortal Gods had not diminished in the slightest!

Attacking this human—who knows what would happen?

"Do not worry, the Immortal Gods will not act casually; that would break the Yin-Yang Balance," Zhou Lan said.

"The lightning just now did not harm him, and Zhong Su did not suffer any backlash either, which means this human is at least not the Immortal God Descendant who sealed him."

"What is the point of testing him?" Zhong Su asked, puzzled.

"The descendants of the Immortal Gods would never let us out."

"No." Zhou Lan's eyes emitted a faint red light.

"The descendants of the Immortal Gods are not susceptible to darkness, but what if this descendant actively makes contact with the darkness?"

"..."

"Are you crazy?!"

The six Demons instantly put distance between themselves and Zhou Lan.

"Luring an Immortal God Descendant to fall into darkness will cause even more powerful Righteous Qi to appear; those Immortal Gods might even descend upon the human world again!" Ximu said in a panic.

"But could our current situation get any worse?" Zhou Lan said in a deep voice.

"If the Immortal Gods descend, the power of Righteous Qi will explode, and we might be able to use that to break out of Hell, or even reclaim our former power."

"In these endless years, we have let time erode our wisdom and strength, until the end of eternity!"

"Can you really endure it?"

"..."

The group of Demons fell into silence.

Having been locked in this godforsaken place for thousands of years, they were truly going crazy!

Other low-level Demons had completely lost their wisdom and turned into pure beasts; their own wisdom was not left with much either, and if they continued to stay, sooner or later, they would end up just like those low-level Demons.

"What do you plan to do?" Xiaofeng asked.

It couldn't get any worse anyway; they had even moved the Book of Ages!

A mere Immortal God Descendant!

Let's do it!

"The power of the gods requires enduring countless hardships and trials, but the power of demons does not." Zhou Lan condensed Demon Qi in his hand.

"He is still just a weak human right now; in the face of demonic power, can he resist the temptation?"

"..."

Lv Cheng drifted in the distance, watching the seven Demons who didn't know if they were arguing or deliberating; as for Shendu and Xiaolong, they were still fighting.

He didn't know what he should do either.

Go back?

He didn't know how to go back now.

Could it be that he needed to establish a cooperative relationship with the Demons to go back?

Are you kidding me?

He could clearly perceive that the mental imprint supplemented by Magic Energy was completely ineffective against these Demons before him!

If these Demons went to Reality, who knows what would happen?

"Human, I am the Moon Demon Zhou Lan; you, do you want power?" Zhou Lan drifted over and secretly used dark gravity to erode the human soul before him.

No backlash!

Very good! Not the Immortal God that restrains him!

"Power?" Lv Cheng was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"You were able to call out Ximu's name just now, so you must know our origins." Zhou Lan said.

"I can feel that you are incredibly weak, and you do not resist the power of demons, so, are you willing to make a deal with us?"

"Make a deal with demons?" Lv Cheng had a look of looking at an idiot.

"Do I look like an idiot?"

These Demons could not harm his soul; although he didn't know how to go back now, Dimensional Summoning—once his Magic Energy was exhausted or his spirit could no longer hold on, he should return automatically.

However, make a deal with demons?

Once he returned to Reality, they could crush him with a single thought!

He always remembered a famous quote from Shendu—I am a noble dragon, and also a Demon Wizard; as everyone knows, I do not keep my promises!

"I know what you are worried about." Ximu flew over, and the power of the sky surged toward Lv Cheng's soul in secret.

No backlash!

Very good! Also not the Immortal God that restrains him!

"We are different from Shendu." Basha landed in front of Lv Cheng, water flowing and wrapping around him.

No backlash!

Not the Immortal God that restrains her!

"Demons also keep their promises." Xiaofeng blew a breath toward Lv Cheng.

No backlash!

"Although we have always looked down on low-level humans." Bogang moved her huge body and reached out, passing through Lv Cheng's soul.

No backlash!

"But you are different." Dikui secretly manipulated the floating stone under Lv Cheng's feet to attack.

No backlash!

The Seven Great Demons looked at each other.

No backlash for any of the seven of them!

Very good!

Shendu! This kid is the Immortal God Descendant that restrains you!
