A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Sherpa's face showed a playful smile, and the atmosphere between the two became somewhat strange.

“Please allow me to refuse,” Sherpa said.

Sajax frowned and said, "Isn't what you want the Demon King's throne and the glory of your family? Now all of that is within your grasp, so why refuse?"

Sherpa said, "Sajax, you who can't see the trend of the times will only be abandoned by history. Our goal is the stars and the sea, not to cower in the Demon Realm like rats. One day, we will build an ideal society, a world without oppression and injustice, a world where everyone can live a happy life. And at that time, our comrades will be all over the starry sky. This is a future that you, who can only stay in the Demon Realm, cannot understand."

Sajax looked quite grim, because he had been lectured by a "loser".

Chapter 1. Sajax's Car Crash

In Sajax's view, Sherpa was an absolute loser. Sherpa lost the competition for the Demon King's position and also implicated his family, so much so that his family had to kick him out in order to protect themselves.

It's fair to say that the Sherpas were previously a laughing stock in the entire aristocratic circle.

But now, Sherpa's strength is not what it used to be. Even if he is still no match for him, he has the ability to fight when facing him. Even if he can't beat him, no one can stop him if he wants to leave. Sajax realized that Sherpa was different now.

Although this was hard for him to accept, Sajax knew that deceiving himself was useless. Sherpa now possessed the ability to compete for the Demon King's throne.

However, Sherpa rejected his invitation, regarding the Demon King's position as nothing more than roadside dirt. Sajax could sense that Sherpa genuinely disdained the Demon King's position. The fact that Sherpa looked down on the Demon King's position, which Sajax valued so much, made Sajax very unhappy.

Sajax said, "Do you think the Demon King's throne and nobility are so worthless?"

Sherpa said, “That’s right, it’s like a pile of shit. I used to be a pile of shit when I chased after these things, but now I’m a human being. You people who only know how to establish hierarchy and social order are just bloodsucking worms on the heads of ordinary people. Ordinary people can live better without nobles, but what will happen to nobles without ordinary people? You disgusting creatures, even if there were only a hundred people left in the entire Demon Realm, you would still divide those hundred people, select a few new nobles, and then turn everyone else into slaves. You are utterly despicable.”

Sajax's expression was not good, because Sherpa's words hit a nerve. This time, the noble system suffered heavy losses. The remaining three demon kings discussed it and came up with a solution: to promote new nobles and introduce a new ranking system to motivate the common people to move up in order to the greatest extent possible. This system was based on the caste system of the White Elephant Kingdom, with a very small number of upper-class people ruling over the lower-class people. Compared with the original noble system, it was just a change in name only.

That's why Sherpa's words felt like a slap in the face.

Sherpa continued, "Rebuilding the Demon Realm through such means will ultimately lead it down the same old path, with only a minority like you benefiting. However, by implementing equality for all and developing together, we will have a true future. Hundreds of years from now, the Demon Realm will still be the same, but we who remain in the human world will likely have already embarked on the Age of Interstellar Exploration, exploring entirely new and unknown worlds. You can continue to rot in the Demon Realm."

After Sherpa finished speaking, he and his companions left, leaving only Sajax standing there with a livid face.

Just then, a huge, grotesque being that looked somewhat similar to Nyarlathotep's avatar, "Night Howler," suddenly appeared behind Sajax. Its body instantly sprouted a large number of tentacles, pulling Sajax into its body. After doing all this, the grotesque being's figure slowly faded away, leaving only a faint roar in the air.

After a few seconds.

A sudden explosion rang out, and Sajax tumbled to the ground in a sorry state. It was a twisted and grotesque creature, like a Night Howler, with a large hole blasted into its torso. However, its body began to writhe, and the wound it had been blasted into instantly healed.

Sajax himself was still in shock. He was one of the survivors of this great battle, having survived countless battles thanks to his own strength. The continuous battles had allowed him to break through his bottleneck and enter a new realm. But even so, he was still successfully ambushed by his opponent. If it were anyone else, they would probably be dead by now.

A round of applause rang out, and Sajax looked in the direction of the sound. It turned out to be the evil version of Levi. His heart sank. If it were just the monster that had ambushed him earlier, he was confident that he could defeat it. But now that the final boss had appeared, how was he supposed to compete?

In this great battle, the army under the evil version of Li Wei alone turned this world upside down. The other side seemed to have a grudge against gods and demons, completely ignoring ordinary people and focusing on how to kill the gods and demons. They were like madmen.

Sajax thought to himself that the being opposite him was a manifestation of the dark side of Livy's inner self, so it was normal for him to be so insane. And that's why there was the Lawful Good Livy, and the evil version of Livy before him, the Chaotic Evil Livy.

The evil version of Levi clapped his hands and said, "Sajjas, you have not disappointed me. Other gods and demons would surely die in this situation, but you survived. This shows that you survived this great battle by your own ability. I admire you."

Sajax frowned. He didn't think what the other party said was anything nice. The other party was a chaotic evil being. To describe the other party as a demon king or demon god would be too demeaning. The other party had crossed all the bottom lines and could be said to be the embodiment of chaos and evil itself. If it weren't for Li Wei restraining him, he really didn't know what kind of terrifying things the other party would do.

The evil version of Livy said, "But it is precisely because I admire you that you must die. If you have to blame someone, blame the other me. I think his expression will be quite interesting when he learns of your death."

Sajax's face darkened. He tried to use spatial magic to escape, but several attempts failed. The other side was determined to kill him here and had cut off all his escape routes. Now, he had no choice but to fight to the death.

Sajax knew he was no match for his opponent, but he couldn't bring himself to surrender, so he couldn't think of any better way than to fight.

However, Sajax found himself frozen in place, unable to even draw upon his internal energy; his body seemed to have been severed from his soul, leaving him standing there motionless.

The evil version of Li Wei revealed a mischievous smile and said, "Aren't you curious about what happened? Actually, it's nothing. I just paused the energy flow in your body. Energy is the movement of matter doing work. Everything in the world is in constant motion, and I can forcibly stop this endless motion, thus creating a state similar to a forbidden magic domain. Now, you can just obediently wait to die."

The evil version of Levi reached out his hand, and Sajax felt dizzy. When he recovered from the dizziness, he found himself in a terrifying space filled with corpses. This space was full of the remains of gods and demons. When he saw the two enormous dragon skeletons, his mentality collapsed instantly, because he realized that they were the missing Infinite Dragon God and the Great Red.

Chapter 1. Summary of Profits

Inside a courtyard house in the capital of Chong Kingdom, Gurefia heard a crisp cracking sound. She looked down and saw that the jade bracelet on her wrist had fallen to the ground and shattered into pieces. The bracelet had broken before it hit the ground. She looked at this scene and her face turned pale.

The red-haired boy Timilius asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Not far away, Rias, who was watering the flowers with a watering can, also looked over. When she saw the bracelet lying on the ground and shattered, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

Gurefia sighed and said, "Your father, as the Demon King, has ended his mission."

Young Milius was confused and didn't understand what his mother meant, but he could sense that his mother was in a very bad mood.

Rias wanted to say something, but seeing Milias's curious expression, she swallowed her words. She really didn't know how to explain to young Milias that his father was no longer alive.

Glefia knew that Sajax was incredibly powerful; he had survived the previous chaotic battle. However, the war was now nearing its end, and both the evil version of Levi's army and the allied forces of the native gods and demons had entered a defensive phase. It seemed that the fighting wouldn't continue anytime soon. For Sajax to suddenly encounter trouble at this time seemed highly unusual.

At this moment, Li Wei was in the wooden pavilion, tallying the profits from this world. He then realized that although he hadn't earned many points this time, only the regular rewards, the other benefits besides points were numerous.

The biggest benefit was that his own strength directly doubled in this world. You have to understand that the path of cultivation is basically about spending time. Although you can shorten the cultivation process with various pills and rare treasures, it still takes time.

However, in this world, the growth in his strength far exceeded the sum of the previous few worlds combined; in other words, he gained immense power overnight.

Li Wei's sensory medium detected that Rias and the others had arrived outside the wooden attic. Moreover, there were quite a few people who came this time. In addition to Rias and Akeno Himejima, there were also Grayfia and Vinellana, as well as the Sid family from back home who lived next door to Rias and the others. The women's army came over in a flurry, and Li Wei had no idea what they wanted to do.

However, he adapted quickly, teleporting his evil clone over and simultaneously altering the study's environment. The study was divided into two distinct styles around a Go board. On his side, the study remained unchanged, with bookshelves and various exquisite pieces of furniture, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Opposite him, behind his evil clone, however, was a twisted, bloody hellscape—a sight that would drive any ordinary person mad.

On the Go board, black and white stones are continuously placed, forming a fierce and difficult game. After achieving extraordinary success, Li Wei likes to learn all kinds of skills, thinking that it's always good to have more skills, and some skills can also effectively enhance his prestige, such as Go.

Li Wei could understand why so many people liked to show off, because showing off was indeed a very interesting thing. Putting aside strength and such, one had to first raise one's prestige. Why did ancient emperors and nobles like to hold ceremonies? Wasn't it to let everyone know that they were awesome? Even now, people who have the ability to show off will not hesitate to display their prestige in front of others.

Before Rias arrived at the wooden attic, she obediently walked up the steps to the platform at the door. Just as she was about to knock, the slightly old wooden door opened by itself. Rias peeked inside and found that there was no one there.

Vinilana whispered, "The door opened by itself, but we didn't see Lord Levi. Could something have happened to him? I think we should take Milias with us. The safest place is where Lord Levi is."

Gurefia whispered, "There shouldn't be any problems over there, right? After all, we've been there for quite a while now, and there are soldiers under Lord Li Wei stationed there. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to cause trouble in such a place."

Vinilana said nothing more, but a persistent unease lingered in her heart. She could only attribute this feeling to her own heightened sensitivity lately; after all, the battle had been incredibly brutal, and even her husband had perished in the chaos. When she first received the news, she nearly fainted, but now she had mustered her strength. The Gremory bloodline was not yet extinguished. As long as they weathered this battle, even if the family lost masters like Geoticus and Sajax, they could still restore their former glory by simply waiting for the right moment.

A group of more than ten people quietly entered the attic. Because Rias and Akeno Himejima were very familiar with the interior of the attic, they felt uneasy when they saw that the attic was empty.

Himejima Akeno said, "Rias, let's go straight to the study. Under normal circumstances, Li Weijun spends most of his private time in the study."

Rias nodded, and the others followed behind her and Akeno Himejima. After all, the two of them came here from time to time and had a superior status, so there was no need for such formality. The others did not dare to relax at all, since they were not that familiar with Li Wei and were also afraid of triggering the various mechanisms and traps in the attic.

The attic doesn't look very big from the outside, but the interior space is the kind of structure found in a huge building. Without someone familiar with the area to guide you, it would take quite a bit of effort to find your destination.

After walking through the long corridor, the pedestrians arrived at the door of the study. However, at this moment, a black aura was constantly emanating from the cracks in the wooden door, and everyone felt a chill, as if they were being watched by some terrifying and irresistible entity.

Rias took a deep breath, grabbed the doorknob, pressed it down gently, and pushed it in. She quickly stepped into the study, followed by a large throng of people.

Then, everyone witnessed a horrifying scene: the entire study had transformed into two completely different realms eroding each other. At this moment, Li Wei's original body and his evil clone were sitting cross-legged in the center of the study, facing each other with a chessboard as the boundary.

Chapter 1. The Devastating News

Rias and the others saw the two people facing off in a chess game, and no one dared to make a sound. Li Wei's side was alright, but the evil version of Li Wei's twisted and insane domain made them feel uneasy, even though they were demons and extraordinary beings with superhuman power. If it weren't for the warm energy that Li Wei had given them, they probably would have already gone mad by now.

Li Wei turned around, made a shushing gesture to everyone with a serious expression, and nodded slightly at the same time.

The evil version of Levi sitting opposite said, "I hate being bothered by annoying bugs at times like this."

With a slight wave of his hand, the evil version of Levi felt two invisible giant hands gripping their necks. Although demons have very low oxygen requirements and can achieve complete oxygen dependence after activating environmental adaptation spells, the immense force that snapped their necks would still kill them.

Li Wei snapped his fingers and said, "Focus on the game and don't let external factors distract you. The opponent you want to defeat is me."

The evil version of Li Wei seemed somewhat irritated and said, "I have an absolute advantage in this game. Don't treat me with that condescending attitude you used to have. In this world, I am the victor of the rules. Those useless people you support are not even as good as a third-level servant army."

Rias felt indignant upon hearing these words. Her brother and father had both perished in the war, yet the evil version of Levi spoke of it so casually, even calling them trash. How could she accept this?

Even though she was dissatisfied, Rias could only suppress it, because the person who said this was a powerful figure who could be compared to Li Wei in some aspects, so powerful that he could kill them all with just a word or a glance.

Faced with such a powerful being, they had no chance to resist. The demon race has always revered the strong and respected the strong, and all demons are accustomed to this. But when they are in a weak position, they deeply realize how tragic it is to be weak, having no ability to control their own destiny.

Li Wei gave Rias a reassuring look, then turned to face the evil version of Li Wei and continued making his moves.

Rias and the others witnessed a massive illusion: two enormous and incredibly powerful armies clashing in the starry sky. Stars were extinguished by the flames of war, but the heavy casualties did nothing to stop the two legions from fighting. Everything was a bargaining chip that could be placed on the gambling table.

Life is just a number, meaningless to both parties. She also saw Li Wei's coldest side as a ruler, unlike his usual gentle and pleasant demeanor. His coldness felt very unfamiliar to her.

A gentle voice echoed in her mind.

"Don't be fooled by this illusion; what you see is not the truth."

Rias snapped out of her daze, her back completely soaked with cold sweat. She looked around and saw that everyone else looked equally shaken.

Li Wei's gentle voice rang out: "It's alright, I'm by your side, no one can hurt you."

Li Wei's words reassured the women, but at that moment, the evil version of Li Wei burst into laughter, his shrill voice like that of a night owl, sending chills down the women's spines.

With a twisted grin, the evil version of Levi said, "Do you know what I hate most about you? It's your tendency to want to protect everything, yet ultimately you end up protecting nothing. I'll slay your dragon!"

The evil version of Li Wei's black stone landed heavily on the board, and the women who understood Go all showed expressions of horror. As the evil version of Li Wei's black stone fell, a small group of Li Wei's white stones were captured.

Li Wei's expression changed, and he said, "So that's how it is. I've been tricked. Sajax has already been killed by your men, and so has Milias... You've violated the rules by using force in the war zone."

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, the women of the Gremory family all turned pale. The main male members of the Gremory family were completely wiped out; none of the three generations of the family had escaped.

Gurefia felt as if thunder had exploded in her mind, her head was throbbing, and even the things in front of her seemed to be distorted.

Himejima Akeno, who was standing nearby, quickly caught Grayfia.

The evil version of Levi said, "I didn't break the rules by using force in the war zone. After all, that's where my compatriots live. Even a villain like me knows there are some things you can't do. I just had my men place Sajax's head in front of Milias. That little guy has a pretty bad temper and was easily fooled. My men lured him out of the war zone, and then..."

The evil version of Li Wei has a sinister smile on his face, his hand placed horizontally across his neck, and he gently pulls, making a throat-slitting motion.

Upon hearing this devastating news, Gurefia couldn't bear the blow and immediately fainted. Vinilana, on the other hand, instantly appeared older; the once youthful beauty now had wrinkles around her eyes. While this didn't diminish her beauty but rather gave her a more mature charm, it still demonstrated the immense impact of this terrible news on Vinilana.

The women of the Sidi family wore complicated expressions. The Sidi and Gremory families had been on good terms for generations, and each family had produced a Demon King in this generation. Both families had reached their peak because of this event, but in just a few months, everything had changed, and the Gremory family had come to an end.

The Sidi family was fortunate; although they suffered losses in the great battle, the losses were not too great. The main branch of the Gremory family now only has a few female members left, and although there are still some people in the branch family, their strength is not very good. The prestige of the Gremory family is now completely ruined.

Milias's death completely shattered Grefia. At this moment, she was extremely confused. The Gremory family was now just a name, and even if they returned to the Demon Realm, given its extremely dog-eat-dog atmosphere, the Gremory family would be completely devoured, leaving nothing behind.

Now, Gurefia is pondering a question: with the Gremory family effectively defunct, where can she and her fellow women go after losing their protection?
