He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

After a while.

Using the small mounds on his body as bait, Xie Bai successfully lured Terramos away from the place.

The vegetable patch that had been occupied by Terramos was restored to its former expanse after he left.

The only difference was that all the crops that were ready to be harvested were crushed into a pile of rotten leaves by Terramos.

"What do you think Lady Lilith is doing there?"

Two demon giants watched Lilith from a distance.

"I don't know, maybe they're upset about this year's harvest?"

"Is that so? But it shouldn't be a big deal, after all, it's not like it's the first time we've gone hungry for a whole year."

The two demon giants secretly withdrew their gaze.

Although he wasn't too saddened by the previous disaster, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness when he saw Lilith, the current leader of the demon race, sitting alone in a lonely position.

Despite all the efforts she made for the demon race, it all came to nothing in the end, and even her subjects couldn't offer any help.

However, what they didn't know was that Lilith was regretting the destruction of the harvest.

But compared to something else, the destruction of the harvest seemed insignificant.

The feeling of Xie Bai gently breathing warm air on her nose as he spoke was still etched in her mind, unforgettable.

"She... she must be human..."

Lilith's resolve began to waver.

Logically speaking, ordinary humans would never possess such astonishing charm.

Moreover, as a demon, and a high-ranking one at that, she was born with unparalleled magical talent and exceptional resistance.

Even so, she could not resist Xie Bai's close contact.

Thinking of this, Lilith touched the tip of her nose, the feeling of being so close still seemed to be right before her eyes.

"hateful…"

Lilith lowered her head in regret.

She clearly knew that everything that had just happened was Xie Bai using his immense charm to deliberately seduce her consciousness so that he could do whatever he wanted on her turf.

Throughout the entire process, the other party was simply indulging in his perverse pleasures and deliberately teasing her, without actually taking her seriously at all.

"But...she already thanked me, so it shouldn't be like this..."

Lilith bit her fingertips, her forehead covered in a fine sheen of sweat.

She carefully recalled what had just happened, trying to find clues that could refute her previous arguments.

Meanwhile, the two demon giants who were worried about Lilith and still blaming themselves, as well as all the demons throughout the far west, were standing nearby.

They probably never imagined that Lady Lilith, who led them to cultivate a new world in the far west, would experience her first heartbreak in her girlhood because of a single encounter with a white-haired little girl.

……

Eastern Continent, by the sea.

Artoris and Ivy, disguised, successfully bypassed the surveillance system of the Audu Empire and arrived at a deserted beach.

At first glance, apart from a few seagulls that have landed to rest, there are almost no other living creatures to be seen.

Atoris removed his hood, revealing golden hair and clear, turquoise eyes.

Standing there, barely 1.4 meters tall, she looked like a child who had wandered into the wilderness, exuding an air of incongruity.

Accompanying her was a petite loli named Ivy, who also had long blonde hair, but whose pupils were completely golden and who was a little shorter.

"Hey...did we really need to be all bundled up like this and walk here?"

Ivy pouted and mercilessly criticized Atoris.

"It's very necessary."

Atoris nodded and walked up to Ivy.

"The development of alchemy in the Audu Empire has now made leaps and bounds compared to before, and it no longer needs my protection."

"But my influence within the empire has not diminished at all; in fact, it shows signs of increasing."

"If I were to accidentally be exposed to the public eye, it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble..."

Artoris stopped speaking midway through his sentence.

She did not specify the form or nature of her influence within the empire.

Fortunately, Ivy was not familiar with the recent situation in the Audu Empire, and due to the speed of the operation, the other party did not have much time to stay in the empire to learn about these things.

Faced with her explanation, Ivy narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a hint of suspicion.

"That's not right... Your high influence should make our operations in the Aodu Empire much easier, so why would you be afraid of some trivial trouble?"

Despite saying that, seeing Atoris's averted gaze, she didn't press the matter further.

As the saying goes, one should leave room for maneuver in others' lives. Moreover, since they are Xie Bai's family members, they will continue to get along in the future, so it is not advisable to make their relationship too strained.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the other party does not have any ulterior motives towards Xie Bai.

Thinking of this, Ivy opened her slightly narrowed eyes and asked Atoris another question.

"Even if you say that, why can't we fly in the sky? We're not only hidden in the sky, but we're also very fast. There's no need to suffer the hardship of traveling by land, is there?"

In response to Ivy's question, Atoris calmly replied.

"There's no complicated reason. It's just that the Empire seems to be building some kind of ancient space-based weapon recently, so the surveillance of the high altitude is much stricter than that on the ground."

Ivy's golden eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this explanation.

"Space-based weapons?"

These words sound so familiar.

In her 30 million years of memory, she first heard of this thing, seemingly during the golden age of humankind.

After unifying the continent, the human empires of that time immediately began to advance the research and development of aerial weaponry.

Leaving aside the warships that have already been thoroughly studied, the most famous of them are space-based weapons.

Theoretically speaking, those so-called space-based weapons could traverse tens of thousands of meters in the air, circle above the gods, and launch a terrifying attack on all living beings on the ground, comparable to the collapse of the earth.

Even the human empire of that time only took this idea halfway, ultimately stopping at a height of a thousand meters.

Going any higher would attract the attention of the true gods, causing them to be shot down prematurely.

So now you're telling her that the current Aodu Empire plans to replicate this technology?

Leaving aside how this technology came to the hands of the Audu Empire from 30 million years ago, can the current level of the Audu Empire really be compared with that of the human empires of the Golden Age?

Ivy blinked and looked intently at Atoris, who still had no idea what she had said.

For some reason, Ivy always felt that the current Aodu Empire had an inexplicable eeriness.

It seems that under the influence of some force, the development path of alchemy in the Audu Empire is all moving closer to the human empire of the Golden Age.

The thought of the collective annihilation of the human empire made Ivy feel that this was not something to be thankful for.

"Never mind, let's put this matter aside for now..."

Ivy turned her head to look at the calm, vast sea.

There, something far more important than the Aodu Empire exists.

Ivy closed her eyes, recalling the instructions Xie Bai had left her.

"Remember to capture them alive, don't kill them outright, it's best to lure them in unharmed..."
