Die, princess, the devil is mine!

Fortunately, the worst did not happen. Just when there was no reason for the demon to act unreasonably, the true god, the Holy Emperor of Miracles, finally arrived belatedly.

祂没有卡在12点59分59秒来戏耍他们，而是12点58分58秒就“提前”到了。

No one knew what He was really thinking—was He giving them a show of force? Or was He trying to intimidate them?
In short, after He arrived, He took the storage ring containing a huge amount of treasures from the Arrogant Demon King, glanced at the contents of the ring, and then turned and broke through the boundary.

Clearly, the arrogant demon king's down payment was sufficient, and the miracle emperor didn't mind that she used high-level or even top-level treasures to offset a massive amount of resources. After all, if we really talk about value, even if the specific value of the two is the same, the treasures from the demon emperor's palace treasury are much rarer.

Because there are so many things there that are priceless and unavailable for purchase; you can't buy them even if you have the money.

Aren't many of these items exclusively for demons? Who could the Holy Emperor of Miracles give them to? Or will he sell them to certain demon gods in the upper realm so they can use them as rewards for the lower realm?
Wow, this is some serious money-making...

Ahem, the Holy Emperor of Miracles has already left, let's not think about these things for now. Actually, no one can truly fathom the thoughts of a deity.

We should really consider the problems currently facing the Demon Realm...

Just beyond the boundary exists a true god on earth. That direction is absolutely forbidden to go. And because of his "magnanimity," the demon realm has been burdened with a huge debt. For a considerable period of time, their internal development will likely stagnate, as most of their resources need to be prioritized for the world of miracles.

In this way, if the Demon Realm wants to continue to develop and avoid stagnation, it must explore new worlds as soon as possible. The direction of exploration should be as far away from the world of miracles as possible, otherwise they are really worried that some greedy true god will come after smelling the scent.

Thinking of this, all the demons present turned their attention to the demon king squad led by the arrogant demon king. They subconsciously ignored Her Majesty the Dragon Queen Victory, because they also knew that in the current demon world, apart from the demon emperor, the ones who really held power were the seven demon kings.

"Return to the capital and convene a general meeting overnight to discuss follow-up matters."

Ever since handing over the priceless treasure to the Holy Emperor of Miracles, the Arrogant Demon Queen Ilya had been wearing a gloomy face. However, after the Holy Emperor of Miracles left, when her subordinates pointed at her and directed her work arrangements, even though she was furious, she had no choice but to calm down and arrange everything.

This time, Victory had no intention of vying for power. Putting aside the fact that she had signed an unequal treaty that humiliated her race and was being resented by the demons, even under normal circumstances, she didn't want to get involved in specific matters now.

All she wanted was the Demon Emperor's resource allocation, or even exclusive access to resources. It wasn't that she didn't want power, but that depended on the situation. She didn't want to take over this mess.

Let's wait until the seven demon kings have brought the demon realm back on track before making these plans. An old demon like her can't withstand such hard work. Let the younger demons do the work of devoting themselves to the demon realm and the demon race until their dying breath. She can just wait to reap the rewards.

With this in mind, Victory and a group of powerful demons returned to the Arrogant Royal City. However, as soon as they arrived in the city, before they even had a chance to go to the Demon Emperor's Palace, they received news that they didn't know whether to welcome or condemn.

Illidan, the Demon Emperor, has emerged from his seclusion after achieving a breakthrough!
Judging from the length of his seclusion, it was clearly impossible for him to succeed. Besides, the Demon Emperor's Palace did not send down the power of heaven and earth to baptize him.

Illidan, the Demon Emperor, only went into seclusion for a very short time, a little over a month at most, and that time probably had to be subtracted from the time he spent indulging in reckless behavior.

Logically speaking, even if it's not enough time to become a demon god, one shouldn't fail to break through so quickly. Just accumulating power takes a long time, not to mention that an attempt to break through certainly wouldn't end after only one attempt.

It wasn't until the meeting convened at the command of the Arrogant Demon King, when Illidan, with a gloomy face and full of anger, rebuked Daenerys Targaryen, that they learned the reason for Illidan's failed breakthrough.

Because His Majesty Victory bombarded the boundary wall leading to the world of miracles, he attracted the Holy Emperor of Miracles, who had already become a god next door.

At the time, it seemed that He was just showing off to the group of high-ranking demons and powerful figures in front of Him, but in reality, with His true god power, how could He not have noticed that there was a near-god-level demon dragon in the demon realm who was struggling to break through?
In that state, Illidan, the Demon Emperor, was completely unable to withstand the slightest disturbance. Although protected by the Demon Emperor's Palace's top-tier protective array, even a true god would find it difficult to break through the array and kill a quasi-demon god. However, He did not need to kill him by force. He simply cut off the entire Demon Emperor's Palace's magical power and energy at Illidan's most crucial breakthrough point and dispelled the slowly gathering power of heaven and earth...

Without even needing to directly attack Illidan, his hopes of becoming a demon god were completely dashed.

While one disruption wouldn't necessarily ruin Illidan's chances of becoming a Demon God for life, no one has the ability to repeatedly attempt to reach the Demon God realm in a short period. After all, becoming a god is not something you can achieve by simply winning a cabbage. To have another chance, you need at least another hundred years of accumulation. This is the best possible outcome because Illidan didn't force his way through and fail, so he didn't suffer any backlash or get injured.

Victory, who was being berated by Illidan, simply lowered her head and did not refute him. Although she was actually quite wronged, it wasn't like she was the only demon who decided to try to conquer the world of miracles. At that time, apart from Illidan, who was in seclusion, she was the only near-god in the demon realm. In any case, she was the one who carried out the deed, and she could not get rid of this fact no matter how she argued.

So Victory simply gave up and let herself be mocked. After all, she was Illidan's mother-in-law and the most important and top-tier fighting force in the Demon Realm. What could he do besides curse her a couple of times?
Especially now that the Demon Realm owes the Divine World so many resources and urgently needs to expand its territory to fill this huge gap, how could he possibly punish her, one of only two near-gods in the Demon Realm, at this juncture?
As Victory had predicted, although Illidan was furious and slammed his fist on the conference room table, causing his HP to drop by 1, after venting his anger, he simply sat back down in the main seat without imposing any real punishment on her.

On the contrary, to facilitate her leading her army to expand her territory, Illidan, the Demon Emperor, lent her a set of top-tier Guardian armor.

It was called a temporary loan, but it was actually a reward. She didn't get scolded for nothing. Her equipment, which didn't quite match her status as a near-god, was a significant upgrade.

What Victor didn't know was that the equipment Lynn gave her wasn't a treasure from the Demon Emperor's Palace, but rather an original artifact that he had converted. Now, his technique with the small spheres was even more refined, allowing him to freely convert all attributes within the range of level 1000.

There are only three sets of top-tier level 999 divine or magical artifacts, and they've all been fused together. At this point, Lynn can only offer equipment around level 980. "Alright, I've vented my anger. Getting angry only hurts myself; it's pointless and harmful. I've already read this contract. Although it wasn't signed by me, the client signed the name of a true god, so I have no choice but to accept it..."

"There's nothing more to say now that things have come to this. I will have to stay in the mortal realm for at least another one or two hundred years. I'll probably have to pay off all the debts I owe during my reign. Sigh... I am a proud and arrogant demon, but how can I possibly defeat a true god? If we ever meet in the upper realm, I will definitely have a go at it. But this is the lower realm, and I don't even want to see a single true god here!"

"That's settled then! Since our main force is already assembled, let's take a short rest and then have Daenerys Victory lead the army on an expedition. Don't go east, go west and expand!"

"The other seven Demon Kings are stationed in the Demon Realm to govern the seven Demon Kingdoms within the Demon Realm itself. They should try their best to prevent the massive outflow of resources from affecting the stability of the Demon Realm itself. Incidentally, without affecting the Demon God's heart, they should try to plunder some resources from the other worlds under the rule of the Guardian Demon God... uh, transfer some resources over, but be careful to control the scale. Don't let the stable worlds also become filled with demonic anxiety, affecting the power of faith given to the Guardian Demon God. That would be something that no amount of resources from the lower realms could make up for!"

"As for me... I plan to travel through countless worlds and borrow some resources from my neighbors and friends far away to tide me over. Damn it! What a mess! Even I have to go out and work to earn money, for a plant!"

At the general meeting in the Demon Realm, Lynn still ruled with absolute power, making all the decisions. Although he did not have the supreme status of a true god here, the Demon Emperor was originally in the highest position in the lower realm of the Demon Realm. Moreover, the Vice Emperor Victory was his servant, and all seven Demon Kings were his consorts.

In terms of the prestige of his current position as Demon Emperor, it can be said to be the highest in history. Not to mention that the previous Demon Dragon Emperor could not compare with him, even the first Emperor of the Demon Realm probably could not put on such a show.

So after he grumbled and made all the arrangements, all the demons obediently followed his orders without any objection.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with his arrangements. The problems the Demon Realm was facing and its original development direction should have followed this path. It was just that the extortion by the Holy Emperor of Miracles made them more anxious and urgent, and their actual gains would also be greatly reduced.

"As ordered!"

There's not much to say. Following Illidan's orders, all the high-ranking demons and powerful figures qualified to participate in the meeting left. The so-called plenary meeting came and went quickly, and soon all the demons dispersed, leaving only Lynn and the seven demon lords.

Victory also wisely withdrew. She had been through a lot of trouble today, but fortunately, the final result was okay. Although Illidan's failure to break through caused her to miss a good opportunity, Illidan, who was left behind, had plenty of time to produce offspring.

He possesses the Demon Mirror, a supreme treasure of the Demon Realm. No matter how far he travels to the outside world, returning is just a matter of minutes. If he so desires, he can travel through countless worlds during the day and return to the Demon Realm at night for nightly revelry, without neglecting either his official duties or his sexual affairs.

In fact, that was exactly what Lynn thought, but his purpose in traveling through the myriad worlds was not to "borrow" resources, but to explore other great worlds.

Before this, the worlds he had traveled to were only those related to miracles and the demon realm. Apart from that, there were only "dead worlds" like the World of Destruction and the Frozen World. During his journey for that transaction, he passed through many "living worlds," but they all traveled through the void, at most walking along the edges of the worlds, just to make a stop. They couldn't possibly break through the inherent boundaries of "living worlds" just to take a shortcut, could they? Considering the delays caused by breaking through boundaries, what shortcuts would they get...?

As for the "Dead World," although there are no boundary barriers, anyone capable of traversing the void...
Now he can break or cross boundaries with ease. The boundary that would make even near-gods feel quite troubled is nothing in front of him. When he has free time, he will definitely travel to other great worlds.

The treasures of both the Divine Realm and the Demon Realm are under his control, and have been combined with the treasures of the Archipelago World. This makes Lynn wonder if there will be any surprises in other great worlds.

However, crossing worlds is a piece of cake for Lynn now, so there's no need to rush. How could a treasure from another world that may not even exist compare to the real beauty right in front of him?

Oh no, I mean beautiful demon.

"Don't look at me, I don't have the energy to keep up with your antics."

Tonight was supposed to be Aya's turn, and logically, she should be the one to sleep with him. However, after Lynn glanced at her, Aya, though not scared off, still refused to let Lynn choose her again.

She's not in good condition right now. If she forces herself to stay with Lynn, she might not be able to serve him properly. Instead of satisfying him, she might make him unhappy because he's not getting what he wants.

"What do you take me for? Are you trying to have a two-part thing? All I want to do is hold you tonight. You can't expect the same treatment that Ilya and Phantom get, but you get nothing to do with me?"

Although Aya's refusal was reasonable, she clearly had a great misunderstanding of herself. Was he the kind of person who was always in heat and never stopped day and night?
Compared to endless physical pleasure, he actually enjoyed the feeling of being close to someone more. Otherwise, he wouldn't have only built a small harem. You have to know that with his status and position, even before he became a god, he could easily have a harem of three thousand beauties.

Then the princesses who were queuing up as candidates in the world of miracles wouldn't have only reached the point of kissing and hugging now.

"Really? I don't really believe it..."

Aya pursed her lips upon hearing this. Judging from Lynn's previous lingering affection for her body, she didn't think his so-called "cuddling and sleeping" was anything more than that.
