Die, princess, the devil is mine!

Actually, the reason Lynn took his wives to level up at this time was not because he suddenly had a whim or remembered it, nor was it because he started to panic after receiving a subtle reminder from the Goddess of Nature and Life today.

He had long had the opportunity to bring his wife along by eliminating the remnants of the Purgatory Demon and Underworld Demon races, but he never did so until now.

The reason we didn't do it before wasn't because we couldn't do it or couldn't do it well, but because we didn't do it consistently.

After the remnants of the two races fled, they did not all gather together. They actually had their own "territories," but because they were focused on destruction, they did not manage to build their own power. Their so-called territories were just one destroyed world after another.

Because of their unique destructive nature, the devastated world, which is empty, insurmountable, and worthless to 99.99% of living things on earth, is an excellent resting place for them.

It's just that nothingness is nothingness. Apart from the fact that their attributes match, allowing them to temporarily regroup and adjust their state, it doesn't help them in terms of further improvement.

Otherwise, the Demon God faction wouldn't be devouring the new world like mad dogs.

After the previous battle, the Purgatory Demon Clan was severely weakened, and the Underworld Demon Clan was also seriously injured. In a short period of time, it will be difficult for them to gather enough strength to conquer the new Great World, so they can only lie low for the time being.

The Purgatory Demons and the Underworld Demons previously pursued different paths of burning, killing, and looting. Except when they encountered particularly tough enemies, they would call for support and join forces to defeat them, and most of the time they would "not meet."

During the great defeat in that war of faith, after escaping danger, the two races naturally went their separate ways, each retreating to the ruins of the world they had once destroyed.

Lynn was a bit of a headache when he was able to sense their tracks, because the two groups of remnants had run all over the place, but they were still able to contact each other. Once he led his men to find one of them, the other group would definitely disappear without a trace.

Although he could still lock onto them using the Demon Emperor's "authority" combined with the perception of a true god, pursuing them across countless worlds was by no means an easy task. Moreover, if this forced them to scatter into countless stars, it would be even more difficult to deal with.

Therefore, Lynn's delay was actually waiting for the right opportunity. He didn't necessarily want to ensure that they were wiped out completely, but at least he wanted to be able to eliminate more than 80% of their forces.

He decided to act now because the time was right.

In his perception, the remnants of the Purgatory Demons and the main force of the Yellow Spring Demons, who were originally scattered in their own groups, were converging into a single force. Lynn was separated by countless worlds and could not know the specific situation on their side, but it seemed not difficult to guess.

Without absorbing new power, relying solely on the meager nourishment from the shattered world, it would be easy for the Purgatory Demons and the Underworld Demons to prolong their existence. However, if they wish to return to their peak, restore their former glory, or even go further and regroup to fight their way back to the Demon Realm, then conquering a new Great World is the only option.

This is the source of power for the Demon God faction. Without absorbing the power to destroy the world, they cannot cultivate to the same level of strength as before through hard work alone. Even if they could, it would take at least several thousand years, and most of the demons of this generation would not live to see that day.

After a period of silence, the leaders of the two tribes tacitly chose to join forces, pooling all their strength in an attempt to find a way out.

It's not that they can't continue to lie low; the void world is so vast and boundless that even a near-godlike demon emperor wouldn't be able to easily find them.

But they can't outlast this new generation of Demon Emperor. The current leaders of the Infernal Demons and the Underworld Demons are the eldest prince, Mocher, and the second prince, Mitchell, respectively, who were both the first Demon Emperor. They have both faced Illidan the Demon Emperor directly, and their vitality is even stronger than Illidan's. If they continue to lie low, they may lie low for a lifetime.

The two former princes could set aside their pride as heirs to the Demon Emperor, but while they could bend their backs, the Destruction Demon God could not.

Illidan is too young and capable of ruling over the seven demon lords under his command. If they don't make a big fuss, the current rule of the guardian demon god might last for more than five thousand years, and it's not impossible for it to become an absolute ruler for ten thousand years.

What would happen if a demon king monopolized the power of faith in all realms, including the demon realm itself, for an extended period of time?
The consequences were severe, because the Demon God of Destruction had done the same thing before...

Fanmo didn't know the details of that dark era, but he did know that since then, the two demon kings who were once evenly matched had developed a clear gap.

At its peak, the Guardian Demon Gods, who ruled over hundreds of worlds, were forced to shrink to less than twenty. Meanwhile, the Destruction Demon God faction, which once destroyed worlds at a rate that couldn't keep up with the Guardian Demon Gods' pace of conquering them, evolved into ferocious beasts. The time it took to conquer a large world was reduced exponentially, making them virtually invincible.

By the way, those worlds that verified the increased efficiency of the Destruction Demon God faction in breaking through boundaries were the worlds that the Guardian Demon God faction was forced to cede...

Although the Destruction Demon God camp encountered some tough opponents and suffered setbacks over time, allowing the Guardian Demon God camp to seize opportunities and catch up, gradually narrowing the gap, and even overthrowing the Destruction Demon God camp a few times due to the emergence of exceptionally talented demon god messengers, overall, with the accumulation of faith power over thousands of years, even with the ebb and flow, they could only catch up to a 40/60 split at most.

Therefore, even though they were in an unprecedented period of weakness, the Destruction Demon God camp did not dare to relax. Even if they could not launch a quick counterattack, they could not sit idly by and wait for their doom.

If we can close the gap even a little bit, we should. After all, the Guardian Demon God camp should be getting stronger every moment. If they only know how to hide and lick their wounds, then the hope of a counterattack will only get smaller and smaller.

It's because they are too far away and don't know the specific situation in the Demon Realm, otherwise they wouldn't have been in such a hurry to take action.

At this time, the guardian demon faction, representing the entire demon realm, had to pay the enormous compensation to the miracle world on its own. Instead of experiencing a period of rapid growth, they were stagnating due to a shortage of resources.

However, Lynn didn't need to care about the state of the two major demon factions. He only knew that the prey had gathered together, and it was time to close the net.

Because time waits for no one, the Purgatory and Underworld clans, who had finally managed to gather together, would not stay in one place indefinitely. Therefore, after gathering the wives of the Divine World, Lynn also notified the Demon King's wives in the Demon Realm to be on standby at any time.

Just one day later, Lynn set off on her journey with the first eight goddess consorts.

It wasn't that he favored his eight beloved concubines, with whom he had known the longest; the reason he only brought eight was simply because the remaining power of the Destroyer God's camp was probably not enough to share among so many people.

At its peak, the Demon God of Destruction's faction included the near-god-like Demon Dragon Emperor, seven orthodox Demon Kings whose strength far surpassed that of ordinary demigods, and a demon demigod army of over two hundred, capable of making even ordinary near-gods turn tail and run. If they were still at their peak, Lynn could have used their lives to feed his entire family to at least the level of demigods, with everyone striving to reach the level of near-gods.

However, after that war of faith, the severely weakened Purgatory Demon Clan had little left to offer, and although the Yellow Spring Demon Clan was still well-organized, it had also suffered heavy losses in its high-end combat power.

There are only about fifty demigod demons left in the Purgatory and Underworld races. There weren't many left to begin with, and Lynn also had to leave some for the Demon Realm, so there weren't enough to go around.

Therefore, Lynn could only choose wives with high enough base level to lead. The seven wives who were left behind were all held back by their own strength level. Starting to strive for near-godhood from level 800 is not the same level of difficulty as starting to strive for near-godhood from level 600 or even lower.

Of the eight wives Lynn took with him, even the most incompetent Siflin had already advanced to the level that was originally worthy of being called a Saint Emperor, thanks to the sponsorship of the Demon Realm. Moreover, since Shia and Sylvie were also going on this trip, bringing along Siflin, the only one who was not at the peak Saint rank, was also for another purpose.

With the protection of the true god, their journey through the void was incredibly smooth. They had a clear goal and only needed to travel swiftly.

Finally, after two and a half days, Lynn brought Yagami to the outside of a destroyed world.

The battle-hardened followers of the Destruction God knew they could never let their guard down, but unfortunately, the one chasing them was a true god among mortals.

Even if Lynn couldn't conveniently use his true god-level power, it was still something that a mere demon demigod couldn't discover in advance.

When the gentle force permeated the entire shattered world, it temporarily pieced together the world's walls, which were originally riddled with holes, like tying a rope around a ripped bag. The shattered world, which was originally empty, immediately became a vacuum-sealed bag, and what was sealed and "preserved" was the remnant of the Destruction God's faction, who were holding a grand meeting in the shattered world.

By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late. Although the World Wall, which had been hastily repaired and stitched together like a superficial project, was far less hard and tough than the original, complete World Wall, it was still not something that the current forces of the Destruction Demon God faction could easily break through.

"It must be Illidan, the Demon Emperor, who has caught up with us! Only a Demon Emperor could possibly know where we are! But we've run so far that we're well out of the Demon Emperor's range!"

Among the remnants of the demon race whose world was sealed off, a surviving demigod demon cried out loudly.

He looked up at the sky, which was now just a gray expanse of the shattered world. He could see nothing at all, but he could vaguely sense that a pair of eerie eyes were watching him in the direction he was gazing.

"The destruction of the world, which is like cutting off flesh and only leaving a thin layer of skin, can be rapidly repaired. Is this the method of those who are close to gods?"

Some ignorant remnants of the demon race, upon discovering they were locked in this shattered world, began to tremble with fear at the immense power of the near-god-like Demon Emperor.

In reality, a near-god level being would not have the ability to seal off a world in the blink of an eye. If it were just a hole the size of a little finger in the boundary wall, he could try to repair it. But the boundary wall of the destroyed world was so rotten that it was no longer recognizable as a wall. How could a powerhouse below the god level repair it so easily? Even a near-god level being with a spatial ability would need nearly a month to complete this task.

But the locked-up demons didn't understand, because they no longer had any near-gods. The last time they saw a near-god, that person was right in front of them and had utterly annihilated them...

"Never mind who came to block off the world! The most urgent thing is to find a way to break through the barrier! Otherwise, we'll become prey in a cage!"

Every demon understands what this demon is saying, but once they break through the boundary, what container can they use? If they had the ability to easily break through the boundary, they wouldn't have been holding meetings here for several days without actually conquering a world protected by a boundary.

The demons knew that the true god had descended, but the chaotic demonic forces of destruction had begun to fall into disarray.

The only two who remained somewhat calm were the leaders of the two tribes, Mocher and Mitchell.

After their previous crushing defeat, they had become much more restrained and composed than before.

However, remaining calm is merely a good attitude when facing difficulties; it cannot solve the problem on its own.

"Don't panic! Everyone, get behind us and gather your strength for me and my second brother. Let's work together to break through this broken barrier!"

Faced with this situation, breaking down the barrier is the only way out, because it is the real way out; without breaking down the barrier, there is truly no way out at all.

Even though they knew that there were still enemies lurking outside the boundary wall, they still had to break through.

The shattered world is a void, with no defensive measures to rely on. Even orders must be given through communication, as no one can shout out their voice.

The method they used was the same method they used to attack other worlds. They fought the same way they did when they were in the void, breaking through the boundary to invade other worlds, and now they were in the same way when they were inside the world, breaking through the boundary to escape.

Although none of them were near-gods among the main force of the attack, the two princes were no ordinary people. They had both led armies to destroy the world on their own. After receiving the blessing of their race, their true strength was not as good as that of a near-god at full strength, but in terms of the ability to break through boundaries, they might be stronger than near-gods.

After all, everyone has their own expertise, and this is what they do, so it's normal for them to have special job bonuses.

At this moment, Lynn stood atop the shattered world, watching the commotion of the world below with his beloved... Oh, no commotion, it was a silent world, but you could still sense the chaos from the panic of the demons.

Apart from Lynn, everyone else was witnessing the Destruction World for the first time. The endless void outside that world had already amazed them, but after seeing the Destruction World, they felt that even the endless void was somewhat picturesque.
