Die, princess, the devil is mine!

Although Lynn wasn't as angry as Aklie, she realized she had been tricked.

Putting aside whether the God of Light has actually sent it, his statement is wrong. What do you mean by saying that the God of Light, the Destruction Demon God, and the Guardian Demon God perished together? I just received their blessing!

These words were clearly a bluff from the start, and judging from Akre's attitude, they were even more deceptive.

"Have you taken care of the cleanup work? I have urgent business to attend to on the God's Protection Continent. Could you arrange for a few space-type Saint Magisters to help me restart the spatial passage?"

So Lynn and Aklie both took Rodman's dying words as mere provocation, at least on the surface. What they really thought, only they knew.

"I will lead my army to wipe out the remaining remnants of the Temple of War. Although the main force is not here, the strength of the Light Empire and the Holy See should not be underestimated, not to mention that I have become so much stronger."

From Lord Lynn's hurried return and Rodman's previous arrogant demeanor, Aklie guessed that the situation on the God's Protection Continent was definitely not optimistic. Of course, he wouldn't let a few remaining minor problems hold Lord Lynn back.

"I trust you to handle things. Okay, I'm really busy, I'll be going now."

The purpose of returning to the Divine Blessed Continent was achieved from the beginning, and he also helped Aklie eliminate the traitors within the Divine Blessed Continent. Fortunately, this war, which allowed for indiscriminate bombing, ended quickly, otherwise he was really afraid that it would have dragged on for many more days.

When he arrived, he was actually a little worried about how to force the Demon Emperor's artifact from the Temple of War. He couldn't very well give them benefits in exchange, could he? He would definitely be very unhappy if he did that.

Fortunately, the Temple of War was sensible. Not only did they turn against him, they also displayed their full set of Demon Emperor artifacts to suppress Aklie, saving him a lot of trouble.

Things were going very well, so Lynn set off with the few space-type holy mages that Aklie had managed to gather from all over the Light Empire.

The journey to the border between the two continents goes without saying. However, upon arrival, the accompanying space-elemental holy mage carefully inspected the area and estimated that, based on the extent of the damage to the spatial passage and their limited manpower, it might take more than five days to repair.

Lynn certainly couldn't wait five days. Since the Divine Blessed Continent had already experienced an anomaly, even if he had previously thought the Divine Protected Continent was stable, there was still a possibility of problems arising. He definitely couldn't wait any longer.

So Lynn resorted to his old trick, forcibly tearing open space in an attempt to cross over. His action completely shocked the Holy Magisters. They had studied spatial magic for most of their lives and had seen things that could destroy spatial structures, but they had never seen anything like tearing it open with bare hands.

Moreover, he had to withstand the violent spatial turbulence with his physical body and forcibly cross to another continent. Such terrifying strength... how is he different from a god?

"Lord Lynn, you have torn open the space between the two continents and completed a lot of work for us. It may only take three days to rebuild the space passage connecting the two continents."

While Lynn was struggling through the spatial turbulence, he heard a sound coming from behind, which was actually good news.

Moments later, having forcibly crossed the continental divide, Lynn returned to the Gods' Protected Continent.

He didn't know how far the Divine Blessed Continent Alliance had advanced after he left, but this kind of mopping-up work wasn't his responsibility; he could leave it to others.

All he needs to do now is complete the deal with the demons as soon as possible, reclaim the Forsaken Continent, and obtain the last component of the Holy Emperor's Artifact Set.

Thinking of this, Lynn immediately flew past at high speed, rushing towards the battlefield without stopping.

When he arrived at the Wanli Snow Mountain area, the Divine Blessed Continent Allied Forces that were originally there had long since gone far away. However, they obviously did not pursue them directly, but instead took a detour.

There was no other way; the lingering power of the frozen landscape was still strong, and no one could withstand a direct confrontation. Although taking a detour to pursue them would be more troublesome, following the "surveillance" left behind by the Demon King's wives meant that these remnants of the demon race wouldn't be able to escape.

Lynn himself doesn't need to worry about the damage from the frozen mountains. He can just walk straight there and might even be able to break through the snowy mountains before the Allied Forces of the Divine Blessed Continent.

As he had predicted, the Allied Forces of the Divine Blessed Continent had not yet pursued Lynn to the edge of the snow-capped mountains.

Perhaps many demons chose to fight to the death and actively confronted the Allied Forces of the Divine Blessed Continent, which slowed down their pursuit.

With the Demon Emperor's artifact in hand and himself already on the Divine Blessing Continent, Lynn no longer needed to be in a great hurry. Seeing that neither the Divine Blessing Continent's allied forces nor the demons were in sight, he simply took out the Demon Mirror to try and contact the demon realm.

Based on Ilya and the others' hints, it seems that their magic mirror was taken away by Victory, so he cannot communicate with them face to face. However, in the absence of people and magic, he can first lay the groundwork for the second transaction.

"Ilya, I will be returning soon. You and Phantom should be ready to serve me at the Demon Emperor's Palace at any time."

Lynn knew that the Demon King's wives' magic mirrors had been confiscated by Victory, but he still instructed "Ilya" to prepare for his bedchamber.

This was fabricated based on information that Illidan and the others deliberately revealed to him during their confrontation: Illidan is currently traveling in the outside world and has not yet returned, and the Demon Emperor's artifact set obtained through the trade will be given to him, so it's time for him to come back.

Moreover, the second transaction can only proceed with confidence after Illidan obtains the Demon Emperor's artifact set, so he not only should return, but he absolutely must return.

Shortly after the message was sent, Lynn's magic mirror vibrated, indicating that she had received a reply.

“Your Majesty Illidan, I am Victorious, the Dragon Mother. The Demon Realm is in turmoil, so please return as soon as possible. I have a generous gift for you.”

Similar to Lynn's simple and clear words, Victory was also a decisive dragon. Her reply was straightforward, as if she had informed everyone of everything, but without mentioning any details.

It's clear that Her Majesty the Dragon Queen is somewhat wary of "Illidan the Demon Emperor," though the reason remains unknown.

But she was also willing to exchange Illidan for the Demon Emperor's Armor Set, which was quite generous of her.

Lynn didn't understand why Victory seemed so conflicted, and he didn't care, as long as he didn't miss out on his benefits. "Dragon Mother Victory? I don't care who you are, immediately return my beloved consort's magic mirror to her! Otherwise, I will settle accounts with you the day I return!"

Following Illidan's design, Lynn sent another message, then put away the magic mirror and left it alone. The number of times this thing could be used was limited, and presumably, if Victory on the other side knew what was good for him, he would most likely do as he was told.

……

Meanwhile, on the edge of the God-Forsaken Continent, surrounded by thick demonic energy, Victor silently put down the magic mirror in his hand. After some deliberation, he finally took out all seven magic mirrors and stuffed one whole into the hands of Ilya beside him.

When she first appeared in the Demon Realm, she was immediately noticed and surrounded by the seven Demon Kings. A fierce battle broke out between them, and in the end, she defeated the combined forces of the seven Demon Kings with her unparalleled near-god power and successfully suppressed them.

However, to her surprise, she had only been asleep for a mere hundred years, yet the Demon Realm had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Not only have all the dignified demon kings turned into delicate little girls, but even the father of her child has been dead for a long time, and a new demon emperor has already taken the throne.

At that time, she felt that either she was out of her mind from sleeping too much, or that the seven demon kings were lying to her.

However, after visiting the entire demon realm, she received the same answer: the seven demon kings had not lied to the dragon; everything they said was true.

The Demon Dragon Emperor risked his life to launch a fierce attack on the Divine Blessed Continent, but was killed by the Divine Miracle Holy Emperor. The previous seven Demon Kings also perished in that battle, and the Abyss Demon Clan almost completely collapsed, leaving only the remnants that were not yet dead.

Victory didn't care about any of this. She had no feelings for the Dragon Emperor, and as a member of the Dragon race, the decline of the Abyss Demon race was none of her business.

However, since the new Demon Emperor actually came from the camp of the Guardian Demon God, she couldn't help but care.

After all, she had a daughter with the Demon Dragon Emperor, and was already labeled as part of the Destroyer Demon God camp. Although the Demon Dragon race did not have a fixed faith and were the kind of people who swayed with the wind, they could not be easily convinced by wavering when they were connected by blood.

So she confiscated the magic mirrors and communication stones of the seven demon kings to prevent them from colluding in secret and causing trouble for her behind her back.

The seven little girls were also very shrewd. The information records and contacts of the magic mirror and communication stone that she had obtained were all cleared, leaving them like blank slates, and nothing could be found.

Even their communication methods with the new Demon Emperor were unilaterally canceled. If they want to get in touch again, the new Demon Emperor has to take the initiative to contact them.

This infuriated Victory. She had originally wanted to negotiate with the new Demon Emperor. With her near-god-level strength, the other party should at least give her some face. However, there was no Demon Emperor in the Demon Emperor's Palace at all; it was just a few domesticated succubi. She couldn't see the new Demon Emperor at all.

With communication cut off, Victory was truly at a loss. In truth, she had no intention of arguing with the new Demon Emperor; she simply wanted to clear up the misunderstanding. If he could accept her allegiance on behalf of the Guardian Demon God, Victory was perfectly willing to convert to the Guardian Demon God's faith.

This idea became even more firmly established when she visited the Demon Realm again and learned that the new Demon Emperor was terrifyingly powerful, and that slaughtering demigods was as easy as crushing an ant.

She believed this to be true. After all, the seven demon kings of the guardian demon god camp and the two races of chaos and darkness might lie and boast about their guardian demon emperor, but the purgatory demons who were almost wiped out would not lie. If the new demon emperor was not that powerful, how could he have single-handedly broken through the demigod army formation of the two major demon races?

Victor asked herself honestly, she didn't have the strength to deal with a Demon King-level powerhouse with a combined strength of three digits, while the new Demon Emperor was able to do so, which clearly meant he was much stronger than her.

Although after some investigation she learned that the new Demon Emperor had achieved this with the help of the Guardian Demon Emperor Set, she also learned that the new Demon Emperor's true form was an ancient demon dragon...

The ancient dragon race is not skilled in magic and is almost entirely composed of warrior-type powerhouses. The Guardian Demon Emperor Set is known to be a mage-type equipment. The fact that the new Demon Emperor was able to defeat the Purgatory and Yellow Springs demon races while wearing ill-fitting equipment is beyond doubt.

Of course, at this point, Victory's focus was no longer on how strong the new Demon Emperor was; she only cared about one thing: the new Demon Emperor was also a Demon Dragon Emperor!

It is important to know that the Ancient Dragons are an extremely endangered species. In some eras, there might not even be ten Ancient Dragons, and those that are still capable of reproduction are even rarer.

Back then, she and the Demon Dragon Emperor had absolutely no feelings for each other, but they still managed to unite and give birth to a dragon egg with all their might. At that time, the Demon Dragon Emperor was past his prime, and she was in the final stages of her ability to bear children.

Fortunately, they were blessed with good fertility and managed to give birth to a pure-blooded dragon egg, which later successfully hatched into a daughter of a pure-blooded ancient demon dragon.

Now, times have changed, and she is too old to have children, while the Demon Dragon Emperor is long dead. She thought that the continuation of the ancient Demon Dragon clan would be a huge problem, but unexpectedly, it came about without any effort at all.

The newly appointed Demon Emperor is actually a reclusive Demon Dragon Emperor who has emerged from seclusion, a robust male ancient Demon Dragon with a strength level of 999!
A prime-age, male, ancient dragon!
An old guy died, and a young demonic dragon came up. Isn't this going to destroy...? May the guardian demon god protect us!

Although Victory is too old to have more children, her daughter with the former Dragon Emperor will soon come of age.

If she remembered correctly, her daughter should be 999 years and five months old now, which means she will be an adult in less than a year, specifically seven months away. For a long-lived species like the Ancient Dragon, a mere seven months is only slightly longer than the blink of an eye.

There is hope for the continuation of the ancient dragon race! Is there any seed of inheritance better than the new level 999 dragon emperor?

So Victory quickly made peace with the seven demon kings, expressing her intention to immediately convert to the Guardian Demon God, but on one condition: her daughter must also become the new Demon Emperor's consort, just like the seven demon kings.

Just as she did not vie for the position of Demon Emperor's Empress, her daughters also did not compete for the empress's throne. However, there was one strict requirement: her daughters had to be favored more, and this continued until they became pregnant and laid eggs.

Moreover, laying one egg is not the end. After all, the current Dragon King is still in his prime, and his daughter has just come of age. With enough effort, even if a pure-blooded dragon has difficulty conceiving, she might be able to have three or four dragon cubs in the future...
