CHAPTER 54: CHAPTER 54 - NO REGRETS FOR THE CHOICES A MAN MAKES

The Primal Demon Emperor’s perfect features twisted into something resembling confusion as my words echoed through the fractured reality around us.

"IMPOSSIBLE. THE MATHEMATICS OF POWER ARE ABSOLUTE. YOU CANNOT—"

"Watch me."

I closed my eyes, feeling the weight of every choice that had led me here. Every system notification I’d dismissed, every moment of pleasure I’d chased, every bond I’d forged through flesh and spirit. The Horny God’s Legacy pulsed in my veins like molten gold, but beneath it, something else stirred—something that belonged entirely to Zhao Tianlong, not to any inherited divinity.

[System Alert: Host Vitality Detected - 47,382 Points Accumulated]

[Warning: Proposed Action Will Result in Total Depletion]

[Survival Probability: 0%]

[Proceed? Y/N]

I didn’t even hesitate. **Y**.

The system’s interface exploded in my vision, every window flashing urgent warnings as I did something it had never been designed for. Instead of hoarding power, instead of taking from my bonds—I reversed everything.

My body became a conduit, every point of vitality I’d accumulated through our shared passion, every enhancement from dual cultivation, every stolen essence from fallen enemies—all of it flowed outward through the Essence Bonding connections that linked me to all three women.

The effect was immediate and devastating.

Golden qi erupted from my body like a dying star, streaming through dimensional tears toward each of my wives. The energy hit Mei Ling’s crystal prison first, and the hungry formation that had been draining her life force suddenly found itself flooded with more power than it could possibly contain.

"Tianlong!" she screamed as the crystal shattered around her, my vitality pouring into her nature affinity and amplifying it beyond anything she’d ever imagined. Vines erupted from every surface—not the withered, corrupted things from before, but verdant growths that pulsed with life force so pure it burned away the demonic corruption like sunlight through shadow.

Her cultivation base didn’t just stabilize—it exploded upward, Foundation to Core to Nascent Soul in seconds, her body wreathed in emerald light as she broke free from the trap.

The second stream of power reached Lin Yue as she dangled above the inverted void. The gravitational distortion that had been pulling her apart suddenly met an opposing force of pure will made manifest. My essence flowed into her warrior’s spirit, and she roared with inhuman strength as she not only resisted the pull but shattered the dimensional tear entirely.

Her bronze skin blazed with golden fire as her cultivation rocketed past every barrier, Peak Foundation to Core Formation to Late Nascent Soul, her very presence warping space around her as she landed on solid ground with earth-shaking force.

But it was Feng who received the largest share of my sacrifice.

The demonic chains binding her hissed and steamed as my pure vitality flooded through our nascent bond. The corruption that had been rewriting her cultivation base met an avalanche of clean qi, and the two forces clashed with reality-bending violence.

"What are you doing?!" she gasped, her pale eyes wide with horror as she felt my life force pouring into her. The crimson light flickering in her gaze was pushed back by golden radiance, her transforming features returning to their pristine beauty.

Her Mid-Nascent Soul cultivation shattered and reformed three times in as many seconds—Late Nascent, Peak Nascent, then something beyond as she broke through to Soul Formation realm, her aura blazing with such intensity that even the Primal Demon Emperor stumbled backward.

But the cost...

I collapsed to my knees, my reformed body already beginning to wither.

Even though it was a foolish decision, but somewhere in my heart my dignity wouldn’t allow sacrificing my women.

Yes, I was a perverted bastard, but I also had some ethics that was simply to go beyond for the pussy I claim.

The vitality that had kept me young and strong was gone, poured out like water from a cracked vessel.

"Urghh..." I might have took a decision that was going to be end of me after transmigrating in this world. Yet, it was strangely relieving given with the memory of emperor already having experienced most of his life.

But for me, I experienced what I would have as a teenager desired— Ravaging hot wife day and night, a caring and truly loving another wife and finally a MILF craving to be fucked by me.

In conclusion, loosing all this now doesn’t feel bad But just like awakening from a very beautiful dream I was living in.

My black hair faded to gray, then white, my muscles shrinking as decades of borrowed time came due all at once.

[System Alert: Host Vitality Depleted]

[Current Status: Critical Failure Cascade]

[Life Force: 3%... 2%... 1%...]

"FOOL!" the Primal Demon Emperor roared, its perfect composure finally shattered. "YOU HAVE DOOMED YOURSELF FOR NOTHING! THEY WILL STILL FALL TO MY POWER!"

But even as it spoke, I could see the uncertainty in its collapsed-star eyes. The three women I’d empowered weren’t just stronger—they were blazing with a purity of qi that made the entity flinch away like light hurt its very existence.

"Go," I whispered, my voice barely audible as my throat dried to dust.

Through our fading bonds, I felt their terror, their desperate attempts to reach me through the chaos. "The exit... I can sense it... northwest passage... go now..."

"We’re not leaving you!" Lin Yue snarled, her Soul Formation aura lashing out at the dimensional barriers. "We’ll fight this thing together!"

"Can’t," I gasped, already feeling my consciousness beginning to fray. "Not enough... power left..."

But there was. Just enough for one final gambit.

I looked up at the Primal Demon Emperor, its form towering over me like a living mountain of malice.

Around us, the chamber continued to collapse, dimensional tears opening and closing like hungry mouths.

And there, behind the entity, I could see it—the central nexus of the Abyssal Demon Realm’s power structure.

The keystone that held this entire pocket dimension together.

If I could reach it...

"Tianlong, no," Mei Ling sobbed, somehow understanding my intent through our connection even as it weakened. "Please, there has to be another way—"

I smiled at her, pouring what little warmth I had left through our bond. Through all their bonds.

"There is," I said, and meant it. "You three... you’re the other way. You’re strong enough now... strong enough to survive anything..."

I stood on trembling legs, my withered form barely more substantial than shadow, and began walking toward the nexus. The Primal Demon Emperor realized my intent too late.

"NO! THIS REALM IS MINE! MY PRISON AND MY POWER!"

It lunged for me, but I was already there, my fading essence reaching out to touch the swirling vortex of pure demonic energy that anchored the dimension. The moment my consciousness made contact, I felt the realm’s structure laid bare—every dimensional fold, every stability matrix, every carefully balanced force that kept this hellscape from collapsing into the void.

And I began to unravel it all.

"The exit portal," I gasped, my voice carrying through our bonds even as my physical form began to dissolve. "I can... hold it open... sixty seconds... go... GO!"

The chamber exploded into chaos as dimensional barriers began collapsing in cascade failure. Reality folded in on itself, creating impossible geometries that hurt to perceive. But through it all, a single pathway remained stable—a corridor of golden light leading to a shimmering portal I was holding open through pure force of will.

I felt them moving, my three women racing through the collapsing maze with desperate speed. Their grief and terror poured through our connections like acid, but underneath it was something else—gratitude, love, and a fierce determination to make my sacrifice mean something.

The Primal Demon Emperor’s roar of rage shook the dissolving realm as it realized what I’d done. It was trapped now, caught in the same dimensional collapse I was orchestrating. Its perfect form began to fracture as the realm’s destruction pulled at its essence.

"YOU CANNOT ESCAPE ME!" it shrieked, its voice distorting as reality bent around us. "EVEN IN DEATH, I WILL FIND YOU! I WILL HUNT THEM ACROSS ETERNITY!"

"No," I said, and for the first time since this nightmare began, I smiled with genuine warmth. "You won’t."

I reached deeper into the realm’s core, not just unraveling the dimensional matrix but sealing it.

Locking every pathway, every potential escape route, ensuring that when this place finally collapsed, nothing—and no one—would ever leave again.

The portal flickered as my strength waned. Through it, I could see them—Mei Ling’s tears streaming down her face as she looked back, Lin Yue’s warrior’s composure finally broken as she reached toward me, Feng’s pale eyes wide with something that might have been love.

Ten seconds left. Maybe less.

I poured the last fragments of my soul into the message, transmitting it through our bonds even as they began to snap one by one:

"Hey Mei, you know what? You have the best boobs out there. Tch, I wanted to test Yue’s pussy too and ravage her day and night, but sigh. And Feng, I really wanted to say you are the hottest MILF I could ever—"

"Cough—!?!—AAArrrrGGGggggHhhhhhh!"

The bond with Mei Ling severed with an almost physical pain.

Then Lin Yue’s connection snapped like a broken string.

Finally, Feng’s nascent link dissolved into silence.

I was alone with the Primal Demon Emperor in a collapsing hell of our own making.

The portal snapped shut.

The realm began its final collapse.

And in the growing darkness, I heard the entity’s voice one last time, no longer commanding but genuinely afraid:

"What have you done... what have you DONE?!"

I would have laughed if I’d had the strength.

Instead, I simply closed my eyes and let the void take us both while just with a smile.

’At least I saved my women... isn’t this what a real man should do—fuck them day and night, love them with hickeys and nipple bites, spoil them until their pussy’s tight, and save them to death yet when it all ends, you still feel you did exactly right.’
