Die, princess, the devil is mine!

After calming his wife and children down, Lin En ruffled the cat's hair a couple of times and then turned and left.

This time, he might not be able to return in a short time, because after trading the Demon Emperor's set of magical artifacts to the God-Forsaken Continent, he still needs to sneak into the Demon Realm and accept the complete set of magical artifacts from the Divine Emperor Lynn as the Demon Emperor Illidan.

After finishing this left-hand-to-right-hand transaction, he would need to find some time to transform back into the Divine Emperor Lynn and then use the seven Demon King Tokens to trade the Emperor's Boots with Victory.

All this back and forth would take an unknown amount of time, so Lynn made it clear before leaving that he would not return until he obtained the Holy Emperor's Boots, and there was no set timeframe.

……

The Divine Protection Continent is very large, with the same area as the Divine Blessing Continent.

However, due to continuous warfare and years of occupation by the demon race, the internal teleportation nodes that were originally scattered and crisscrossed like those of the Divine Blessed Continent have long been destroyed.

However, this did not significantly affect Lynn's speed in reaching the edge of the continent. After all, without having to worry about others, the speed of a near-god flying at full speed was not necessarily much slower than that of a teleportation array.

Having rushed here without stopping, Lynn looked at the intercontinental space passage that seemed to have been specially opened for him, paused for a moment, and then stepped inside.

Once the disorientation in the space subsided, Lynn looked up and saw his seven demon wives who had been waiting for him for a long time, as well as the stern-faced Dragon Mother Victory.

"The Holy Emperor of Miracles, you have truly kept us waiting for a long time."

Upon seeing Lynn cross the line, Victor immediately confronted him. It wasn't that she harbored much hostility towards Lynn; it was mainly because he, a near-god, had taken so many days to retrieve a few pieces of equipment. If she had gone to retrieve them herself, the victory celebration in the Demon Realm would have already reached its third round by now.

"There was a slight delay, but everything is still there. Do you think it's possible to return the Forsaken Continent to us?"

Lynn ignored the impatience in Victor's words, and instead put his hands together and then gradually opened them, arranging eight Demon Emperor artifacts in the air in sequence.

He acquired these things effortlessly, but they were extremely precious to the demon race. They wouldn't feel it was a loss even if they exchanged a continent for them, or even a complete world.

After all, the Demon Emperor's Magic Artifact Set was a top-tier magic artifact personally crafted by the Demon God of Destruction and the Demon God of Guardian. It was just that the level of use was a little low, only level 999. But in terms of crafting techniques and the preciousness of materials, even the main magic artifacts might not be able to compare with them, not to mention that they were a complete set of equipment.

"Alright! We'll hand over the demonic artifact with one hand and return the continent with the other!"

Seeing Lynn set up the Demon Emperor's long array of magical artifacts, Victory and the seven Demon Kings' eyes lit up at the same time. This was a true treasure of the lower realm of the Demon Realm, not the original treasure-level artifacts that the Demon Mirror had broken into pieces and could only be used as communication and teleportation tools.

"Wait a minute! You can take the demonic artifact with your bare hands, but I can't take the continent back with my bare hands. Since you want to hand over the demonic artifact in one hand and the continent in the other, shouldn't you purify the God-Forsaken Continent, let me build a few Towers of Light, and then smash all the spatial passages and rifts connecting to the Demon Realm to pieces before you take the Demon Emperor's artifact and leave?"

The purpose of face-to-face transactions is to ensure the convenience of exchanging money for goods immediately, while also avoiding being scammed.

Lynn's deal with the demons involved exchanging specific magical artifacts for a vast continent. Delivering the artifacts was as simple as it could be, but receiving payment was not so easy. Therefore, before handing over the artifacts to the Demon Emperor, he had to make sure the other party had all the necessary handover procedures completed.

"Do you think we are the kind of despicable demons who break their word? Since we've agreed on terms, why would we go back on our word? Hand over the Demon Emperor's artifact first, and we'll naturally fulfill your demands!"

Upon hearing this, Victor frowned, then without hesitation asked for the items to be traded.

"You claim to be trustworthy, so I'll show you my sincerity! I'll give you seven of the eight magical artifacts first! After all the trivial matters are settled, I'll offer you the last one with both hands, how about that?"

Seeing Victory's attitude, Lynn was unwilling to waste time with her. He directly reached out and picked out the God-Slaying Scythe from the Demon Emperor's Artifact Set and put it back. Then he pushed the remaining seven set pieces in front of the seven Demon Kings, indicating that they could take seven-eighths of the trade items first.

Even Victor couldn't find fault with Lynn's practice of giving away the bulk of the payment upfront and only withholding a small portion of the final payment.

Seeing the seven demon kings happily accept the seven demonic artifacts, Victory, who had decided to side with them, didn't say anything more.

"Then come with us."

As Victory spoke, she casually tore open a crack in the space in front of her. Then, with the continued force of her dragon claws, the spatial crack gradually expanded into a spatial passage. The method was not fundamentally different from what Lynn had done before.

However, this place should have originally been a connecting passage between two worlds. Otherwise, without any connection, let alone ordinary near-gods, even space-type near-gods could not open up the boundary between two great worlds out of thin air.

The other side of the spatial passage was the Demon Realm, and Lynn could already smell that familiar scent.

After tearing through space, Victory glanced back at Lynn meaningfully before plunging into the spatial tunnel. Lynn knew what she meant; she had simply conveyed a message through her eyes.

That's my territory. Do you dare follow me?
To be honest, that's my territory!
Not knowing if Victory had any hidden tricks up his sleeve, Lynn didn't go near the Demon King's wives. Instead, he kept quiet and stepped into the spatial passage in a few steps.

Anyway, he is highly skilled and daring, and has a set of top-tier artifacts. The only thing that can truly threaten him in the entire demon realm is his own alt account, so he is not afraid at all.

The spatial dislocation across worlds didn't affect Lynn. In the blink of an eye, Lynn landed steadily in front of Victory.

Looking around, all that could be seen was a desolate wasteland. Apart from the denser demonic energy, there were no ambushes or anything like that.

"The Holy Emperor of Miracles is indeed bold, daring to come to my Demon Realm alone. He truly deserves to be one of the strongest beings in this world."

Victory gently stroked her palm, coldly praising Lynn's courage. Although her expression was stiff, her praise was genuine.

After all, even when she herself went to the World of Miracles to meet the legendary Holy Emperor of Miracles, she was accompanied by the Seven Demon Kings. If she were to go alone with a dragon, she would indeed feel somewhat apprehensive.

Regardless of the circumstances, she was a human hero who had killed the Demon Dragon Emperor, whose strength far surpassed hers.

In contrast, the Holy Emperor of Miracles stepped into the Demon Realm without hesitation, not even worried that the seven Demon Kings behind him would block his retreat and trap him like a turtle in a jar. Such courage truly impressed the demons.

"Courage is built on the foundation of strength. To put it bluntly, if I want to leave, you can't stop me, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

Lynn simply waved his hand at Victor's praise, saying that the old man was too kind. This was probably just a player's bad habit; when faced with a dungeon that matched his current level, he really couldn't be afraid.

"Hehe, if you think so, then so be it. Anyway, we never intended to break the contract."

Victor smiled noncommittally, then looked up and saw that the seven demon kings had also returned to the demon realm, following closely behind the Holy Emperor of Miracles.

After landing, the seven demon lords set up a series of magical artifacts around the spatial passage. After constructing a complete magic circle, the seven demon lords infused it with their original magical power, representing their authority as demon lords. This was a power that even Victory did not possess.

As the seven fundamental magical forces of pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust coalesced, the magic circle they constructed suddenly emitted a dark luster.

Lynn subconsciously took two steps back, moving away from the magic circle, because his body was now filled with light-type battle aura, and the aura emanating from the magic circle made him very uncomfortable.

Victory, on the other hand, subconsciously took a few steps forward and greedily inhaled a few deep breaths, as if the surging demonic energy were some kind of delicacy.

However, once you reach a level like hers, 999, even the most refined demonic energy has little effect on her. Otherwise, purifying the God-Abandoned Continent wouldn't be a strenuous task for her, but rather a huge benefit.

After all, it was demonic energy that had polluted the world. Although it wasn't as profound as the demonic power they had cultivated themselves, it was still more nourishing than the demonic energy that filled the air in the demon realm itself. This was because it had already been tainted with a trace of the world's power. And for the two major demon factions, whether they were destroying or managing the world, wasn't that exactly what they sought?

"What a pity, the chasm to godhood cannot be crossed with just a little bit of world power. They got off too easily..."

"Victory sighed, and at the same time she lamented how difficult it was to become a god, the seven demon kings, who had made thorough preparations, had already begun to draw demonic energy from the distant continent of the Forsaken Gods.

Unlike the demonic energy that had only been polluted for a few years on the God-Protected Continent and was of no use to those who absorbed it, which was no better than the demonic energy that could be casually dispersed, the demonic energy that had accumulated on the God-Abandoned Continent was ancient demonic energy that had been eroding the world for nearly a thousand years. It was the kind of demonic energy that could prolong life with a whiff and grant immortality with a single breath...

Cough cough, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but anyway, it's still a stroke of luck, not to mention the amount is huge, it's a whole continent's worth of top-grade demonic energy.

The previous seven Demon Kings never enjoyed this benefit because the Divine Miracle World was not completely conquered, and the Forsaken Continent was not destroyed. Previously, the demonic energy that polluted the world was only extracted once every thousand years, and it was always exclusively enjoyed by the Demon Emperor. If the Holy Emperor of Divine Miracles hadn't exchanged the complete set of Demon Emperor artifacts for this opportunity, the seven Demon Kings probably wouldn't have been able to enjoy it either.

"Whoo~"

"Hu~~"

"Hoohoohoo!!"

Just then, the magic array constructed by the seven demon kings gradually increased its power from slowly drawing in demonic energy. With a whooshing sound, the demonic energy on the other side of the spatial passage surged toward the demon realm.

The seven demon kings stood on their respective nodes according to their rank, devouring the surging demonic energy before expelling it from their bodies.

Even a peak demigod-level demon king cannot absorb demonic energy indefinitely, so they only absorb the part that is most beneficial to them, while the ordinary demonic energy that has been stripped of its "spirituality" is naturally discarded.

Lynn stood a little distance away, watching them quietly without making any move. In fact, Victory was still wary of him. Although the seven demon kings were only absorbing a small amount of world power and were not in a state of seclusion, so they were not afraid of being disturbed, if possible, they would rather not be forced to interrupt the process, as that would cause a portion of the world power to be lost. That stuff was already scarce, and it had to be divided into seven parts. If it was reduced even further, it wouldn't be very meaningful.

Fortunately, the Holy Emperor of Miracles seemed to care a lot about the purification of the Forsaken Continent, so even though he noticed that the seven demon kings had improved slightly in the process of extracting demonic energy from the other side, he did not pay attention to it.

The God-Abandoned Continent is a region that has been completely polluted and eroded, and the demonic energy that permeates the entire continent is not so easy to completely remove.

Even with the seven demon kings exerting all their strength and operating the magic array at full speed for a whole day, they only managed to "purify" one-seventh of the demonic energy in the God-Forsaken Continent.

At this rate, even without considering the distance, it would take at least seven days to completely clear out the God-Abandoned Continent, and the actual time required would only be longer.

The seven demon kings worked all day, and Lynn and Victory stayed by their side all day. Seeing that the work was not very efficient, both the man and the demon dragon frowned inwardly.

They weren't in a particular hurry, but sitting and waiting with the enemy was rather awkward and unbearable. If the person opposite them was a delicate succubus (a young dragon), that would be much better.

However, they can only dream about it; reality won't change just because someone gets bored.

In other words, the seven demon kings grew stronger by absorbing demonic energy and meager world power, so their extraction and absorption speeds improved slightly, and they managed to complete all their tasks on the ninth day.

Throughout this process, Lynn survived on the fruits and snacks she carried in her storage equipment. Everything else was fine, but it made the little girl very hungry.

Although she never felt hungry because of the constant influx of massive amounts of energy into her body, her cravings were not strongly related to whether she was hungry or not.

The natural environment of the Demon Realm is completely different from that of the Divine World, so every food that Lynn brought out was a rare treat for the little girl.

Forgive her, this country bumpkin demon who's hardly ever left the demon realm. That one looks delicious, that one smells wonderful, that one looks weird, I want to take a bite, and that one...

Slurp~~
The little girl sniffed, a pitiful expression on her face. More than gaining a level 3 or 4 boost from absorbing the world's power, she wanted to reach out her little hand to Lynn and say—

Hello, I'd like to eat a little.
