Wrath's face became ugly as she received the news. The moment she heard Wang Wei was investigating all seven territories, she had a hunch this would be the result. She did not immediately give up and used an altar in one of the castle's rooms to contact Heavenly Dao to negotiate.
After a while, Wrath opened her eyes, trying extremely hard to control herself and not go on a rampage. She tried arguing with Heavenly Dao and convinced it to reconsider. She argued she would handle her race and have them stay low-key and not be detected.
She argued she would manage their hatred and swore not to ally with the devil cultivator in the west. Regrettably, Heavenly Dao had better arguments about the consequences of other planes discovering the revival of the devil race and the effect their rise would have on the upper dimension.
Wrath's last attempt was to compromise and ask Heavenly Dao to only accept some people in this subcontinent with a certain level of human bloodlines. But it even rejected this proposition.
As she sat dejected on a throne, she pondered the next step. The plan she had spent so long working on ended before it even began, which was a devastating blow to her mind. She considered all her options before taking a deep breath.
Seven Sins Conference:
"Wrath, what happened?"
"The plain failed. The Myriad Emperor World's Heavenly Dao backed out of our agreement."
"What?!"
"Wang Wei's doing, I suppose?" asked Pride.
"Yes."
"We should have expected this outcome once he began to snoop around the other territories," added Envy.
"So, what are we going to do next?" asked Gluttony.
Everyone looked at Wrath, waiting for her to make a decision.
"The plan continues, but we will go about it differently," said Wrath.
"What do you mean?"
"We will abandon our identity as devil race and integrate into the Myriad Emperor World. As long as we can prove the Dao, we can remove the seal and protect our race."
"Use the array for us only instead of the entire race?" summarized Pride. "It might work, but Heavenly Dao will still ask us for a price."
"One of the Devil Gods is enough of a price," added Wrath.
"If it is only the seve–I mean the six of us, Heavenly Dao might accept. But it also might refuse."
"That's my only worry–"
Wrath had not finished speaking when the projection space the group used to communicate began to tremble. Before they could react, the illusory space ejected everybody out, and the conference forcefully ended.
"What's going on?" muttered Wrath before sensing something and appearing outside of the castle. She looked at the sky and immediately noticed it was no longer pure blue. It was now separated into four colors: blue, red, black, and white.
Cracks appeared above the heavens out of nowhere before Heavenly Dao manifested itself.

Wrath's face changed after seeing the information displayed above in the sky. Before she could think, process, or complain about how the situation, a talisman condensed before her. She immediately recognized what it was since her master had mentioned it before.
She used her Divine Sense to immediately refine the talisman.
"It's so weak? Anyway, it's still enough. " She immediately controlled the remaining power of this continent's Heavenly Dao to create a small world with extended capacity. Then, she summoned all the devil race–mortals or not–into the small world.
'It's regrettable I could not save the others. Anyway, there is still some power left,' thought Wrath as she teleported to the room where the Devil Retribution Sword was brewing. Without hesitation, she sacrificed the remaining power of Heavenly Dao to accelerate its growth.
'Come on,' thought Wrath before she sensed something. She turned around, and her heart almost popped out of her chest. She saw someone behind her with a bright red mark floating above their head.
