Die, princess, the devil is mine!

Ellie was ultimately not brave enough and became a runaway bride with a clumsy excuse.

She grew up in the Demon Emperor's Palace and has lived there for nearly a thousand years; how could she possibly get lost?

However, this is the best outcome. If Ellie actually agreed and joined their party, it would be more complicated.

Seeing that Ellie had disappeared in a flash, Lynn waved his hand, and the Witches of Pleasure escorted him into his bedchamber.

After the palace gates closed, Lynn immediately set up a magic array to isolate the inside from the outside. With the strength of his magic array, only Victory in the entire Demon Realm had the ability to break through it, except for him. However, Victory left earlier than him and was not in the Demon Realm.

"I'm sorry to trouble you all to squeeze in here for the next few days. No one is allowed to leave until I get back. If any demons come, don't worry about them. If no demons come, you can come in."

After making the arrangements, Lynn first washed her face and, once she was back to her true self, went over and hugged each of the seven succubi.

Their job was to keep the demons at bay here. Although it was unlikely that any demons would come to the closed Demon Emperor's Palace, it was still necessary to take precautions.

In fact, even the Witches of Pleasure are currently confused about his affairs. Lynn didn't explain it to them in detail, and the Seven Great Demon Lords certainly wouldn't reveal these things to the succubi.

Let's leave it at that for now. After all, the contrast between his dual identities is quite significant, and it's not convenient to reveal it to people or demons. The seven demon kings are exceptions because they are participants.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although we are all weak, we will still protect our home."

The diligent witch struck a pose, showing off her biceps, but all she had were soft, fleshy muscles. If she were to throw a punch, it would probably only excite the thugs even more.

"If there's a chance in the future, I'll also help you level up. Although you won't need to fight, being at a higher level will at least improve your physical fitness."

Lynn smiled, raised his hand and pressed the diligent witch's arm down, then patted her shoulder and looked down at her chest as he spoke.

They're just succubi, what's the point of training anything else? The only thing they're really good at training is their chest muscles. They don't need to train anything else; just getting in good physical shape is enough.

"Yes, yes, we will wait obediently for the Demon Emperor to return."

At her sisters' prompting, the Virgin Witch moved closer to Lynn, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the lips, as a farewell kiss on behalf of her sisters to the Demon Emperor.

Speaking of which, the seven sisters are truly blessed. As lowly succubi, it is already a great honor to receive the favor of the Demon Emperor. They are even fortunate enough to be named imperial consorts. Although they are certainly a level below the Demon Kings, it is still an extremely remarkable achievement among the succubus race.

Throughout the history of the Demon Realm, no more than thirty succubi have ever attained the position of a formal empress. The Demon Realm has a detailed recorded history of over 300,000 years, and if we include unofficial and incomplete histories, we can trace it back to a million years ago. The number of thirty is truly very, very small.

Moreover, it wasn't just the preferential treatment and attention given to them in terms of their titles; as succubi, the favor they received from the Demon Emperor wasn't just physical love, but also a hint of affection.

This is what makes them so rare. They are demons of desire and love, and their perception of these things is extremely keen. The Demon Emperor truly likes them quite a bit. Although one can sense that lust is the majority, there is also a small amount of genuine affection.

Because of this perception, from the humble witch to the chaste witch, they all unconsciously made up their minds to be devoted to Illidan, the Demon Emperor.

"Be good, things will get easier after this busy period. We have a long life ahead of us."

As Lynn spoke, she returned a kiss to the Virginity Witch, and to avoid appearing to favor one over the other, she kissed the other six Pleasure Witches in turn.

This farewell kiss was devoid of any lust; it was purely filled with affection, even though he was facing seven alluring succubi.

After the kiss, Lynn silently left the Demon Emperor's Palace with the help of a magic mirror that had been placed in advance. After several twists and turns, he found the node that had once connected the realms of gods and demons, and tore through space once again to reach the other side, the God-Forsaken Continent.

If the Miracle World fully utilizes the Forsaken Continent in the future, he will definitely arrange for space-type powerhouses to repair the World Wall. This breached boundary wall is like a closed but unlocked wooden door in front of near-gods; it can be kicked open at will. This is indeed somewhat unsafe for the Miracle World.

While pondering these follow-up issues, Lynn continued his journey. The vast God-Forsaken Continent was still deserted, and Lynn, who did not stop, soon arrived at the coordinates he had visited before.

Estimating that the demons of the Demon Realm who had gone ahead should have arrived by now, Lynn didn't want to leave his wife waiting, so he decisively tore through space and stepped into the Destruction World.

The same suffocating feeling still hit me, but the only difference from the last time I came here was that the shattered world was no longer a void. In that desolate world, there were eight peak demons, one old and seven young, waiting there.

The eight demons in the distance had different expressions when they saw Lynn arrive across the realm as promised.

Most of the seven demon lords displayed expressions befitting their demonic nature: Ilya's arrogance, Ries's greed, Salah's eagerness, and Hill's laziness...

Victory is ranked first because she is the strongest, and the Holy Emperor's Boots needed for the transaction are already in her possession, so she will be responsible for handling the transaction during the formal transaction.

"As agreed, I will choose the location for the transaction. This place is too close to both the Divine World and the Demon Realm, and both of us may have concerns. Therefore, I have specially chosen a polar world. Even with the strength of a near-god, it would take several days to arrive, and it would be impossible for a demigod to come over in less than a month. I hope you are truly sincere and are not playing tricks."

Lynn, who had crossed the border, saw that both sides of the transaction were fully equipped, so he didn't linger and directly showed them his whiteboard with world coordinates attached.

Because sound cannot travel through the void of the shattered world, Victory and the seven demon lords simply nodded after reading Lynn's writing on the whiteboard, offering no other useless response.

With the Demon Mirror, a treasure of the Demon Realm, as their reliance, the powerful Demon Emperor Illidan could cross the mirror at any time regardless of spatial distance. Therefore, they didn't care at all which world the Holy Emperor of Miracles set up for the transaction, or how far away it was.

Even if the Holy Emperor of Miracles ambushed them at the trading location, they wouldn't be afraid. Near Gods were the limit of the lower realm, and normally it was difficult for two Near Gods to coexist in one realm. Not to mention themselves, the fact that they had Illidan, the Demon Emperor, as a fully armed reserve force was enough to make them invincible.

The demon realm did not object to the location of the transaction, and both sides set off simultaneously for that polar world.

Lynn completely disregarded the fact that the seven demon kings lacked the strength of near-gods, and rushed forward at full speed, forcing Victory to divert some of his power to help them on their way. Victory knew that the Holy Emperor of Miracles was intentionally weakening her power, but little did he know that the true power of the demon realm did not lie with these eight demons; his scheme was clearly misdirected.

The journey thereafter was uneventful, and after several days and nights of trekking, they arrived at the agreed-upon meeting place quite smoothly.

It was a completely frozen world, similar to the snow-capped mountains of the God's Blessed Continent, but a version scaled up to the entire world.

This world will not be destroyed by any demonic forces, because it is a forbidden zone for life, containing nothing but ice and snow.

Places like this can dispel any suspicion that the Holy Emperor of Miracles has set up an ambush. After all, this place is so desolate that it's not much different from the Destruction World. If there were any living creatures lurking here, it would be like running naked in the street. Which discerning demon wouldn't notice?

"Divine Emperor, can we complete the transaction now?"

Following Illidan's orders, they would not attack the Holy Emperor of Miracles unless something unexpected happened. Therefore, upon arriving at the trading location, Victory immediately submitted a trade request to avoid any unforeseen complications.

"I, Lynn, am always decisive in my work. I brought everything, so you won't be shortchanged."

When asked this question by Victory, Lynn didn't mince words. He directly took out the Demon King's Tokens from his storage space and lined them up in a row. The seven pitch-black Demon King's Tokens floated in the air without any protection, showing the Holy Emperor of Miracles' confidence in his own strength. He wasn't worried about them being stolen even when he put them out.

Seeing the Holy Emperor's "sincerity," Victory could not let the demon race lose face, so he also reached out and took out the Holy Emperor's Boots, suspending them in mid-air.

"How about I hand over the command in one hand and the boots in the other?"

Seeing this, Lynn made a suggestion.

"You give me five Demon King Tokens first, and I'll give you these boots. Then you can give me the last two Demon King Tokens. How does that sound?"

Since they were exchanging one for seven, Victory considered that the Holy Emperor of Miracles might withdraw the Demon King's Tokens they hadn't yet acquired after obtaining the Holy Emperor's Boots. After thinking for a moment, she decided to ask for most of the Demon King's Tokens as a deposit first, and then wait for the Holy Emperor of Miracles to negotiate with her.

Then Victory realized that she had underestimated the Holy Emperor of Miracles. This man did not bargain with her at all. After she made her request, the Holy Emperor of Miracles flicked his finger without saying a word, activating the five Demon King tokens inscribed with Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, and Gluttony, which shot towards the five corresponding Demon Kings.

Apart from the arrogant Demon Lord Illya and the lustful Demon Lord Phantom, all the other Demon Lords have reclaimed their Demon Lord Tokens.

Seeing this, Victory had no choice but to push the Holy Emperor's Boots toward the Holy Emperor of Miracles. Although she could cheat and run away with five Demon King Tokens, doing so would not only tarnish the prestige of the demon race, but would also incur the wrath of the two Demon Kings, Pride and Lust.

She wasn't afraid of the two younger ones, Ilya and Phantom, but she didn't want her daughter to make enemies in Illidan's harem.

Thus, with Lynn being upright and Victory being wicked, the two completed the exchange of items. After Lynn checked that the Holy Emperor's Boots were the correct item, he returned the two Demon King Tokens that had been temporarily held.

With this, the Holy Emperor Lynn of Miracles has completed his Holy Emperor Artifact Set, marking the pinnacle of his divine power.

After the seven demon kings obtain their respective demon king tokens, they can refine and reforge them, and inscribe their own marks on them, so that they can take another step forward and launch an attack on a higher level.

The transaction was completed successfully without any delays.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

After completing the transaction, given Lynn's public relationship with the demons, there was naturally no reason for him to continue interacting with them. So he politely took his leave and, without waiting for a response from the eight supreme demons on the other side, left the frozen world on his own.

Victory couldn't possibly chase after the Divine Emperor at his peak, and seeing that he left alone without causing any trouble, she was actually relieved.

“Let’s go back too. After you return to the realm, hurry up and forge your own Demon King Tokens. Maybe in another thousand years, you will all have a chance to try to break through to the near-god realm.”

Although the seven demon kings are already at a very high level of strength, ranking among the top demon kings of all time, the path to godhood is not easy, especially the final level 9, which has killed countless brilliant and talented demon kings.

The generation of orthodox demon lords, led by Illya, are all of historical caliber in terms of strength and talent. However, Victory's highest estimate for them is only seven to two, and that would only be after she and Illidan become demon gods.

After all, the resources in the lower realm are limited. Unless all seven demon kings are designated to be cared for by demon gods of the demon lord level or above, most of them are destined to be eliminated by the new era.

Of course, given their current strength level, it will be at least five or six thousand years from now when they are no longer able to break through and are swept into the dust of history. It's only because they all come from the Abyss Demon Clan and don't have the long lifespan of the Dragon Clan that they might have had a chance to advance from the seventh to the fourth...

Thinking about these future events, Victory summoned the seven demon kings and returned towards the demon realm.

However, after they stepped out of the frozen polar world together, all eight of them were forcibly immobilized in place.

Upon realizing something was wrong, Victory immediately tried to break free of her restraints, but after unleashing her magic, she discovered that what was controlling her was not an enemy, but pure power of heaven and earth.

That's a power a level above the power of the world. Normally, if I had the chance to absorb even a sip of it, I wouldn't trade it for a treasure that could extend my life.

Because the power of heaven and earth has the effect of purifying the essence of life, enabling the beneficiaries to prolong their lives, and its effects go far beyond this, there are many more.

However, its most important function is its sublimation effect, which is the best boost on the path to godhood. Any near-god at level 999 who can receive a baptism of the power of heaven and earth, whether he is a newly promoted level 999 or a long-established level 999.99, is equivalent to obtaining a ticket to the upper realm.
