Furthermore, Bai Zhe is able to draw upon the power of the earth's veins and use it for his own purposes. He can mobilize the life force of a nation in a short period of time, and even mobilize the life force of a continent in a certain amount of time.

However, if energy is drawn from the earth's veins, it will cause irreparable damage to life on the land. If one is not careful, at least a few thousand years will pass without a single blade of grass growing.

Upon hearing this, the Demon King slowly looked at the witch's soul and asked her, "If we convert it to the life force of an ordinary person, how much would it require at least?"

"Based on the calculations of ordinary people... at least 30,000 people are needed."

"Thirty thousand people!!"

Emilia, Theresa, and Frederica, who were standing nearby, were all shocked by the number.

In an era roughly equivalent to the Middle Ages, 30,000 people was no small number; even some small cities might not have that many residents.

If this number of ordinary people were to take up arms, they could easily form an army and conquer a medium-sized city.

"It seems that one drop of blood is not enough."

As he spoke, under the gaze of the Witch of Greed, Bai Zhe's palm transformed into a knife, and to everyone's astonishment, he slashed his own wrist. Then, he pried open the Witch of Greed's mouth and poured a large amount of evil dragon blood into her mouth.

As the immense life force surged into her body, Echidna, in her soul form, felt her heart beating and the call from her physical body.

Seeing Bai Zhe's actions, even the icy heart of the Witch of Greed was somewhat moved.

"It seems I've chosen a good man; my decision four hundred years ago was the right one."

In her casual, soul-like state, she rested her chin on Bai Zhe's shoulder and whispered in the Demon King's ear, "After I return to my body, it will probably take me two days to adjust before I awaken."

"So I'll be leaving my care to you for the next couple of days. Anyway, according to the contract, I belong to you entirely, right~ my dear Demon King~"

After speaking, Echidna, in her soul form, did not wait for Bai Zhe's reply before lying down in the crystal coffin and entering her own body.

This time, however, the process of entering her body went very smoothly, without her feeling any resistance.

Half a minute later, Bai Zhe withdrew his arm, and the blood overflowing from the witch's mouth flowed from the corner of her mouth, leaving a crimson and alluring mark on her pretty face.

"Master!"

"Lord Bai Zhe!"

"Bai Zhe, are you alright?"

At this moment, Theresa, Elsa, and Emilia, seeing this, wanted to go forward to check on Bai Zhe's condition, but Eko and Tribes, who were closest to the Demon King, were faster than them.

Just as the two little ones were about to touch the Demon King's arm, they saw him shake his hand, indicating that he was fine.

Moreover, the scars on the Demon King's wrists had disappeared, and his skin was as smooth as before. The wounds from the swords and blades seemed as if they had never appeared.

For a dragon, the blood in its body is enough to fill an entire lake, so the amount of blood just now was not enough to cause any effective damage to Bai Zhe.

And now, all we have to do is wait for Echidna to wake up.

However, when everyone was leaving the trial grounds, they were stopped by a pink-haired half-elf who looked only 11 or 2 years old.

Seeing this, Theresa immediately adopted the attitude of an older sister and asked her gently, "Is there something you need, little sister?"

However, Frederica looked somewhat flustered. Although the other party looked petite and charming, she was a person who had lived for four hundred years and was an indisputable elder in the Holy Land.

Now that he had brought people into the forbidden area without permission, Frederica feared that Ryusbilma was coming to settle scores with him.

"Lord Luce..."

However, before Frederica could even utter her words, someone else spoke them faster than she could.

"You are Ryuzu."

As Tribesna's surprised voice rang out, the pink-haired half-elf was clearly drawn to her.

"Lady Tripis."

The pink-haired half-elf loli named Ryuzubilma has a beautiful voice, but her tone is quite mature, which contrasts sharply with her petite figure and delicate and lovely face.

But then her gaze was drawn to Bai Zhe, who was holding hands intimately with the great elf. To Frederica's astonishment, this elder, whom she considered a Saint-level figure, bowed slightly to the black-haired, golden-eyed demon king with great respect.

“I never expected to meet you here. Ryuzbilma greets Your Majesty.”

After introducing himself, Ryuzu immediately asked Bai Zhe, "Are you here to resurrect Lady Echidna?"

As Ryuzu finished speaking, Tribes responded on behalf of Bai Zhe: "Mother has two more days until she awakens."

Hearing Tribes's words, Ryuzu looked timidly at Bai Zhe beside him and asked, "In that case, can I assume that the Sanctuary is no longer useful?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe nodded under Liu Zi's expectant gaze.

"You could say that. If you have any pity for the residents of the Sanctuary, then let those who wish to leave pack their things in the next couple of days and leave after Echidna wakes up."

As the Demon King finished speaking, a joyful smile appeared on the pink-haired half-elf loli's face.

"That's great, those children won't be trapped here anymore."

At this moment, Tribes finally discovered the difference between Ryuzu and her impression of him.

"Ryuzu, your body..."

Before Tribes could finish speaking, Ryuzu revealed his entire situation.

She is currently using a body copied from her original body, while she herself, as the core of the entire Holy Domain, is sealed and slumbering in crystal.

(The picture shows Ryuzu).

As Ryuzu explained his situation, Tribes immediately realized something quite important.

"Since you yourself are the core of the Holy Land, if the barrier disappears, wouldn't that mean...?"

As the core of the Sanctuary, Ryuzu must also die along with the barrier when it disappears!

No matter how proud she was, the thought of her old friend dying in this way after she had finally escaped the prison of loneliness and met her again made her feel very reluctant.

After all, four hundred years ago, he was her only friend!

The thought of this happening made Tribes grab Bai Zhe's hand and look at him with eager eyes, hoping that the Demon King could once again summon a miracle to save Ryuzu.

After all, even her mother, the legendary Witch of Greed, was saved by her, wasn't she?

Moreover, in order to win over the Demon King, Tribes even stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Bai Zhe had no choice but to respond to Cui Bisi's wish.

Then, his burning golden eyes turned to the pink-haired half-elf standing before him, and he said to her:

"Tell me where your core is, and I will free you from the crystal unharmed in two days."

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Ryuzu nodded. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was deeply moved by Bai Zhe's promise.

Moved by the gesture, Ryuzu didn't forget to arrange accommodations for Hakutetsu and the others, but the Demon King refused.

To ensure Echidna's successful resurrection, he would not leave the temple behind him until she awoke.

Seeing that Bai Zhe didn't leave, the girls naturally wouldn't leave either, and all stayed to keep him company.

However, at this moment, Elsa remembered something: her friends were still in the village outside, secretly carrying out some kind of plan under Roswaal's employment, wanting to make things difficult for Emilia and make her grow up as quickly as possible.

So, after midnight, while everyone was asleep, Elsa came to Bai Zhe and told him about it.

"Go and bring her back, but don't hurt the innocent villagers."

"Yes."

At Bai Zhe's command, Elsa immediately turned and left the temple. However, no sooner had she left than Theresa, who was fast asleep, woke up and looked longingly in the direction Elsa had gone.

Seeing this, Bai Zhe slowly said, "If you're worried, go and check it out."

"But?"

Theresa was clearly tempted by Bai Zhe's suggestion. Her sense of justice made her uneasy about Elsa, who was an assassin, and she wanted to see if Elsa was carrying out any evil plans.

But Edwards instructed her to take good care of Bai Zhe before he left, which prevented her from leaving.

Seeing the hesitation on the girl's face, Bai Zhe spoke again: "Go ahead, it doesn't matter whether you're here or not."

Although the Demon King's words were somewhat heartless, Theresa didn't care.

In addition, Bai Zhe was right; it made no difference whether the other party had her by their side or not!

So, after some deliberation, Theresa immediately followed Elsa.

Shortly afterward, an explosion rang out, waking the sleeping girls.

Emilia and Tribes sat up together, looking at the dust rising from the ground in the distance.

Meanwhile, Ryuzu, who was sitting quietly opposite Bai Zhe, immediately grabbed his staff and rushed towards the location of the explosion. Frederica also reacted by showing her dangerous teeth.

So, apart from Bai Zhe, the pink-haired dragon girl, who was the strongest among them, felt no sense of crisis. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked Bai Zhe in an extremely lazy voice, "What happened?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe gently patted Ai Ke's head and said softly, "It's nothing, someone just encountered a tiger blocking their way."

Upon hearing Bai Zhe mention the word "tiger," Ai Ke knew there was nothing to worry about, so she pursed her lips and said with a hint of disdain:

"What? It's just a tiger blocking the road. I thought it was the resurrected Wise Dragon King..."

After saying that, Eiko rested her head on the Demon King's lap, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

The dragon girl's disdainful attitude made Tribes look down on her somewhat, but as a great elf, she could also sense the enormous magical power within her, knowing that this was the source of her confidence.

So even though Tribes disapproved of Eko's lazy attitude, she didn't say anything.

The explosions subsided shortly afterward, and a few minutes later, Ryuzu, dragging his wounded Gafiel, followed Theresa, who was covered in dust, back to the temple.

After returning, Theresa dusted herself off to make sure she wouldn't offend Bai Zhe's eyes before approaching the Demon King and recounting her experience.

Just as she and Elsa were about to leave the Sanctuary, they were attacked by Garfield, who had just woken from a coma. Elsa used the tiger's recklessness to divert the trouble, thus easily leaving the Sanctuary.

She only ended up in a sorry state because Garfield was Frederica's brother, and Garfield held back in every way.

Otherwise, she could have finished off her opponent in the very first encounter at the start of the battle!

After all, even if demi-humans have stronger physical strength and recovery ability than humans, as long as they are beheaded with a single sword strike, without the protection of immortality, the demi-human's life will be taken away.

After Theresia finished recounting her ordeal, Bai Zhe glanced at Garfield, who was being held by Ryuzu and was still unconscious with a bruised and swollen face, before giving an order to the pink-haired half-elf:

"Take this stupid cat away. Also, is there a place to take a bath here? If so, take Theresa to wash up."

At this moment, Frederica, seeing this, volunteered to Bai Zhe: "Lord Bai Zhe, please hand Garfield over to me. I will discipline him properly."

However, upon hearing this, Ryuzu looked at Hakutetsu as if asking for his opinion.

Seeing this, the Demon King nodded and handed Garfield to Frederica for safekeeping.

To be on the safe side and to allow Frederica to better educate the other party, Ryuzu also cast several weakening spells on Garfield.

After doing all this, the pink-haired half-elf let Theresia go with her. Seeing this, the sword saint girl naturally gave Bai Zhe an apologetic and grateful look.

At the same time, Frederica bowed to Bai Zhe and dragged the unconscious Garfield away by the back of his collar.

Soon, Theresa changed into clean clothes and returned to the temple entrance.

Although the clothing in the Sanctuary is not as stylish as that in the outside world due to the scarcity of resources, it has a unique charm when worn by a beautiful girl like Theresa.

Upon her return, the swordswoman awoke from her dream at dawn and began practicing swordsmanship.

As time passed, Emilia and Tribes gradually woke up, while Eko remained asleep on the Demon King's lap.

Soon after, Ryuzu and Frederica brought some food to everyone.

Because the residents of the Holy Land cannot leave, there are quite a lot of seasonings here. Bai Zhe only took a small bite and put it down, and Cui Bisi didn't eat much either.

Only Emilia and Theresa finished the breakfast that Ryuzu brought, feeling grateful.

Seeing that there was still a lot of food left in Bai Zhe's bowl, Ryuzu immediately went to the Demon King's side and bowed his head to apologize: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, the Sanctuary has been suffering from food shortages for many years and is unable to satisfy your appetite."

"It's out of the way."

Seeing this, Bai Zhe waved his hand, indicating that Ryuzu didn't need to worry about it.

After all, at the five-figure level of life, eating is nothing more than satisfying one's appetite!
