Nine years had passed since the chemical warfare at Chibi.
Sun Shangxiang, Hua Tuo, Zhang Jiao, and all physicians managed to subdue the massive outbreak in the southern provinces after years of hard work.
Five million people got infected and a million civilians died by the empowered diseases, created by Cheng Yu and Cao Cao. It was nine years of nightmare that taught many people about hygiene awareness. However, the life quality of the country got better as the court paid attention to water filter technology, water treatment plants, and sewage system, introduced by Diaochan.
Li Feihong and Dong Bai also added cement technologies to the mix, which enhanced the life quality to the civilians.
Even without Tong's presence, the country advanced forward. No officers dared to conspire against the royal family anymore.
During these years, Wei Yan and Liu Biao, hidden Lilim's subordinates, confessed to the court that he had sworn allegiance to Lilim without knowing, and he wanted to clear his name.
Thanked to his inaction during the Cao Cao's uprising conflict, Dong Bai pardoned them from their crime by having them annulling the oath right in front of all court officials.
It was a cruel sentence since Wei Yan's cultivation ended up being crippled, just like Sima Yi and Lu Su. However, Liu Biao died trying, which saddened his retainers and his family.
…
June, 210 AD.
At long last, Sun Shangxiang vaccinated all Han civilians.
"I can finally rest!"
The 17-year-old Sun Shangxiang now became a stunning beauty, worthy of being called [The Goddess]. Many artists drew her portraits and exaggerated her pretty face to the point that Sun Shangxiang sometimes commented that they were made by drunk Picasso.
Still, she was proud of her new look. Sun Shangxiang was looking forward to welcoming Tong's return. She wanted to brag how much she had changed.
10 White feather wings fluttered behind her back. Her various good deeds and good karma blessed her with the current cultivation base, which was the highest she could get.
To advance further, she needed immoral subordinates, which she had none. Only Diaochan, Dong Bai, and Li Feihong had them.
Still, among all current 10-wing cultivators, she was the strongest. She could defeat Dong Bai and Li Feihong, who currently also had 10 wings with ease. As for Diaochan, she was already an 11-wing demon.
The world of cultivation had advanced a lot. Many sects and organizations appeared to entice ronin cultivators in this world, even though most of them were founded by elite generals with 8 wings, such as Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and many others.
Peace brought a new era upon the Han Dynasty.
'When will he return? It's been 10 years.'

= Lilim's Dimension =
"Good job for entertaining me for a decade, my darling. Now, the oath is complete."
Lilim laughed as she watched Tong panting in exhaustion. Even though he managed to awaken his 10th demon wing, Lilim's current 11-wing strength dominated him throughout the 10-year session.
Tong's plan failed. Lilim's mind was way stronger than all girls he had met.
Still, Tong sneered at Lilim. In fact, the 10 years deal was over a few months ago, but they were so into it that they forgot about time.
Moreover, Tong had completely tricked Lilim since the day that she agreed to establish the oath.
"No, my wife. We've yet to complete my conditions. I'm not yet your vessel."
Lilim frowned and stared into Tong's eyes, "What condition? The ten-year deal is done. It's over."
Planning to demonstrate her authority, Lilim focused her forces into the karmic chain that tied Tong and Lilim together. She wanted to electrocute Tong with a bolt of karmic lightning to prove that their oath was in effect and prove that she was his master.
*Rumble*
The lightning that Lilim was looking for didn't come despite how much power she input.
"Huh?" Lilim doubted about her karma chain and Tong's condition, "Why!?"
While their bottoms were still connecting, Lilim activated a system skill that Tong dreaded, [Die for Me]. It was draining his lifespan at a rapid rate.
Yet, Tong was unfazed. He smiled at Lilim as if nothing had happened.
"What's wrong, honey?"
"You… What did you do!? Why aren't you my subordinate!?"
"As I said, you haven't completed my conditions."
"WHAT CONDITION!? I FUCKED YOU FOR 10 YEARS AS YOU ASKED!!"
"Yes, you did. But not that condition, my dear. It's the other one."
Lilim summoned a great sword from nothingness and pointed the sword tip at Tong's neck, threatening to kill him.
"What is "The other one"!? I remember that this was the only thing we had to do!? What trick did you use!?"
Tong rolled his eyes and sighed, "Did you pay attention to my oath by every word? Check your log file and display my words, so I can explain."
Lilim did what Tong suggested and replayed the scene when Tong extorted the sexual conditions from Lilim.
…
"[I vow that I will become Lilim's subordinate as long as she accepts my five conditions by every word! If she does not follow my five conditions, I will never be her vessel!]"
…
Lilim squinted her eyes as she found the oddness of Tong's oath.
It was the five conditions!
Lilim replayed the five conditions that Tong had proposed her one by one.
…
"Well, I have five wishes, my dear goddess. First, I want you to make an immortal vow that you or your subordinates will not use your system authority to directly or indirectly cause material damage or non-material damage to me, my subordinates, and my family. This includes harming, harassing, threatening, blackmailing, killing, and making something inconvenient to me, my subordinates, and my family members, and all of their descendants."
…
The first condition was clean. Since she didn't tell her minions, such as Gan Ji or Cao Cao, to harm Tong's subordinates or his family, this condition wasn't violated.
…
"Second condition, I want my Immortal Yang Vein skill again, and I want it to be embedded to my souls, so this skill can go with me if I were to reincarnate again."
…
Tong also had his system skill back. Moreover, she even added a soulmate contract to bind him with her life forever. This condition was cleared.
…
"Third condition, you will make an immortal oath that you will be my wife for at least 10,000 years and bear 10,000 of my children at the minimum."
"Make everyone forget about the incident that Lu Bu did to my daughter. Also, restore Zhang Min's purity. That's my fourth condition."
"The last condition, I want to test my endurance as an 8-wing demon, so I demand a 10-year marathon fucking session with you! Please vow that you'll copulate with me for at least 10 years as our first sex!"
...
As soon as Lilim reread these conditions, her face extorted in anger.
The fourth condition was cleared, but the third and the fifth were the tricks that Tong had fooled Lilim.
Although Lilim made an oath that she would be his wife, she had yet to conceive 10,000 children or be his wife for at least 10,000 years. Because of the 10 years of non-stop sex condition, she didn't pay attention to this minor detail.
Moreover, another trap was laid on top of all conditions in advance.
…
"[I vow that I will complete this transaction with Lilim after she makes the oath I told her to.]"
…
The transaction was the wordplay. Unless both sides completed the transaction, everything that they had done counted as nothing.
And now, Tong's [Transaction] referred to the oaths. Both Tong and Lilim had to complete their oath conditions, so the [Transaction] could be completed.
Then, the third condition trap took effect. Tong demanded 10,000 years of marriage life and 10,000 children from Lilim, which had not completed yet.
"BASTARD!!"
Lilim realized what was going on. She was tricked.
It was not just to buy 10 years, Tong aimed to buy 10,000 years!
Furthermore, she was tricked twice during the sexual sessions as Tong seduced her into making a soulmate contract. She couldn't kill him.
Still, Lilim could always dissolve the contract by using her administrative authority. This dimension was still under her palms.
She operated her admin system menu right away to cancel the soulmate contract so that she could kill or torture Tong. She didn't care about controlling the Han Dynasty through him anymore.
\u003c\u003cDing\u003e\u003e
\u003c\u003cYou have canceled the soulmate contract.\u003e\u003e
But Tong was ready for it.
"Lust! Corruption! Insanity!"
Tong injected 3 curses into Lilim once more.
However, Lilim didn't allow herself to be cursed this time. She resisted the power and disconnected her body from him.
"I don't know how you cultivate to 10 wings, but I'm still stronger than you! Your power is useless!"
The sneer on Tong's face didn't fade. Instead, he was grinning from ear to ear while he was staring into her eyes.
"I was waiting for you to look into my eyes again," Tong's eyes flashed in a strange light, "[Eye of Domination]!"
Lilim's mind shook as something invaded her memory. Oddly enough, her cultivation power and her life force couldn't resist this system skill despite her being stronger than Tong.
She stopped doing everything and allocated all lifespan into her mind and memory, repelling this system power.
Unfortunately, her mind seemed to be weakened. She felt like eye power was similar to water while her mental shield was a leaking boat. No matter how she tried to fend it off, the invading force kept entering her mind.
Within 10 seconds, Lilim's mind became blank. Her heart pupils stared at Tong in a trance while blood dripped from her nostrils since a part of her brain was damaged.
Tong sat up and patted Lilim's head. He smiled at her, "Do you love me?"
Lilim blankly replied, "I do, my dear."
"Do you remember your oath?"
"… Yes. [I will love you forever.]"
This wasn't the first time that Tong used [Eye of Domination] on Lilim. For the past 10 years, Tong copied this skill from Lilim and used it on her when she was under the influence of various curses.
Because of the repeated usage, Lilim's mind was riddled with traces of system infiltration. The eye power could enter her brain regardless of her attempts to defend herself.
Although this skill would permanently brainwash the victims after 10 usages, Lilim managed to snap out of it even after the 100th attempt. However, the effective duration lasted longer each time.
During the latest use, Lilim was brainwashed for half a year. When she regained her senses, she thought that she was under the effect of Tong's curses, and didn't pay attention to the details.
"Good. Can you transfer your admin authority of this universe to me?"
"Yes, my dear."
Since Tong had failed to Mindbreak Lilim with sex, he chose to use his backup trump card that he had prepared, [The Eyes of Domination].
However, the effect was limited. He had to do something extreme to get the permanent effect and stop Lilim's craziness for eternity.
"This is my new orders, Lilim. Make an oath that you shall forget your past and entrust your present and future to me. You will be my faithful wife, my loving wife, and my sweetest wife that will never betray her husband. After that, hand over the system authority to me."
The system authority!
This was Tong's final aim. Once obtained, he wouldn't have to be afraid of anything.
"[I shall henceforth be your faithful wife, your loving wife, and your sweetest wife that will never betray my husband. I shall forget everything in the past and entrust my present and future to you.]"
Lilim also operated her system admin menu and reassigned the new admin.
…
[Administrator] – Zhang Tong
[Vice Administrator] – Zuo Ci, Lilim
…
"It's over."
It was as easy as taking candy from a child. But that was not important right now.
\u003c\u003cDing\u003e\u003e
Zuo Ci: "Tong, are you done? I guess I should call you my boss now, right?"
Zou Ci seemed to be aware of the changes. He adapted fast.
Tong: "Almost. What's up?"
Zuo Ci: "Your monster children almost killed Lu Bu and Guan Yu. They're getting too strong as of late. I need your consent before I use my system authority to cripple them."
Tong: "Ah, that. Just weaken them for now. I'm going to tweak the system and free all of you from the oath with Lilim. BTW, Has Guan Yu said that he wanted to withdraw his oath yet?"
Zuo Ci: "No. He said he had sworn allegiance to his benefactor, and he wouldn't take it back even though I told him that Lilim let him go."
Tong: "Bummer. Well, how is everyone?"
Zuo Ci: "All of us have 10 wings, but all your nine children are also as strong as 8-wing demons with permanent curse aura. Also, one of them even said they wanted to eat us."
Tong: "Okay. I'll get out. That fool needs some beating."
