Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

He didn't know that the huge cave in front of him was actually just a simple village.

"Who is your master?" Di Kui asked bluntly.

"Owner……?"

Upon suddenly hearing an unfamiliar word, the villagers were momentarily stunned.

The village chief is not their master; he is simply adhering to the ancestral precepts that everyone must follow.

“Master…we don’t have a master,” the village chief mustered his courage and spoke up.

He suddenly realized that the monster in front of him was not the savage creature he had imagined.

Surprisingly, he only looked fierce, but he wasn't actually tyrannical.

"Very good, from now on, I am your master! Hahahaha!" Di Kui laughed heartily.

Of course, his style remained consistent with that of a demon.

"You will follow me to dig tunnels underground. This entire underground world belongs to me, and it also belongs to you!"

"Huh?" The sudden change left everyone puzzled.

A monster suddenly appeared and declared that it would become their master.

Before they could object or accept it, Di Kui leaped into the cave.

Then a tremor came, and his body disappeared into the ground. He broke through the rock layer at a fast speed and reappeared in everyone's sight from the other side in the blink of an eye.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

This strange monster, just like them, actually likes to dig holes underground?

The Earth Demon's figure disappeared from the rock strata again, and the tremors continued downwards.

With a hum, he touched the depths of the earth, at the face that had been recently destroyed by Zhou Lan.

"I hate armor!"

His annoyed voice came through with a muffled groan.

Chapter 241 I will rule you!

With a buzzing sound.

Zhou Lan roughly understood what had happened.

The Earth Demon was moving too fast, and it crashed straight into the wrecked face of the aircraft, almost piercing it through.

Of course, his dislike for the armor wasn't solely due to its presence blocking his path.

If I remember correctly, Lan Caihe possesses a set of divine armor.

Although for Zhou Lan now, that suit of armor looked rather unpresentable.

But it seems that it left some unpleasant impressions in Di Kui's mind.

"Hate armor? That's troublesome." Zhou Lan shook her head helplessly.

To be honest, in this world, not playing with mechs really feels like something's missing.

After all, some mechs can be larger than an entire galaxy, or even larger.

But after a moment's thought, Zhou Lan calmed down.

The spiral force acts on life itself; the mecha is merely a manifestation, a vessel.

To put it simply, this world can open its face even without the Spiral Force, but it cannot merge with other mechs or unleash powerful attacks.

That's roughly the difference.

The reason for this concern is that the Spiral Force is the best power to resist the return to peak condition or even surpass it.

Even across all the heavens and myriad realms, the Spiral Force can be considered one of the most powerful forces with the highest potential.

The starting point of the super-system world was already high enough, but the power of idealism further raised that ceiling.

Di Kui quickly dismantled the Yanmian, which had already been scrapped by Zhou Lan, into even more fragmented pieces.

He then let out a satisfied groan, emerged from the ground, and came to Zhou Lan and the other villagers.

Setting aside the innate fear that ordinary people have of bizarre creatures, the Earth Demon suddenly seemed more approachable to these subterranean Spiral Clan members.

Easy to get along with.

At least for now, that seems to be the case; the voice also sounds quite honest and reliable.

It can dig holes.

It's more than just a phenomenon; it's like a once-in-millions-years crystallization from underground.

They even suspected that the Earth Demons might be native inhabitants of this world, and that they had simply stumbled upon their home.

Now, they've come forward and praised their digging skills.

At least until now, the other side has not used violence against them.

The Earth Demon exhaled a breath and looked at the villagers, saying, "My craftsmen!"

“Wait a minute…” the village chief stepped forward and said, “The master you mentioned… you want to rule us, right? What will happen to us then…”

"Rule?" Di Kui hesitated for a moment, then said with certainty, "That's right, it's rule!"

His enormous eyes gleamed darkly underground as he stared at the villagers and said in a deep voice, "To become my craftsmen, to become the servants of the Earth Demon, you must follow me every day as we explore the underground..."

He glanced at the overly simple "palace" in his eyes and said in a rough voice, "Dig a tunnel, build our underground world, and construct an even more magnificent palace!"

“But we are human…” the village chief muttered, feeling frustrated. The Earth Demon seemed to be much better at digging tunnels than they were.

"Of course, even humans need to dig for at least a third of the day, because the underground resources are unlimited."

The Earth Demon surveyed his surroundings, and with his perception as a demon of the earth, the planet's underground resources were completely exposed to him.

"However, I'm not interested in any of these; they're all yours."

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers fell silent, unexpectedly.

They stared at Di Kui in disbelief, their expressions a mixture of confusion and shock.

He works a third of the day, shows no interest in resources, and his only requirement is to follow him in digging holes.

no……

Perhaps the Earth Demon didn't know that before he appeared, the Spiral Race, who lived underground in this world, spent most of their time digging holes, except for eating and sleeping.

Under the village chief's management, they work more than a third of the day.

Furthermore, due to the limited understanding of humankind, the development of underground resources has been almost nonexistent.

As a result, the number of people in this village and the space it has developed are barely enough to sustain them.

"Did I hear that right?" A villager said, covering his head.

"This isn't a monster, this is the village chief..."

If they knew that the Earth Demon's title was "Demon of the Earth," they would probably exclaim, "This is hardly a demon!"

This must be an angel of the earth!

"In short, this is the Earth Demon's demand, and you have no choice but to comply!" the Earth Demon said in his most vicious words.

"Get to work!" He slammed his fists on the ground, and the soil and rock layers parted to make way, revealing a passage.

Without a doubt, his power was incredibly strong in the eyes of the humans in this underground world.

One by one, humans tried to emerge from behind the village chief, carrying drills identical to those Simon had used before, and walked into the passage.

Surprisingly, they seemed quite relaxed.

Some people were even whispering, "Why does it feel like... no change from before?"

"There is some," another villager replied. "Doesn't it count if it takes less time to dig a hole than before?"

The village chief across from him was speechless, only silence remained.

He glanced at Zhou Lan and Di Kui, shrank back, and quickly squeezed into the passage with his drill.

Everyone who lives underground is a master at digging holes.

Otherwise, they simply wouldn't be able to survive.

"The Earthly King can see the location of the ore vein clearly. Follow the direction and work this way!" the Earthly King instructed the craftsmen.

After doing all this, a satisfied look appeared on his face.

It's too perfect. This place is the best. This place suits him.

In comparison, what kind of miserable life did he live in the past?

He was digging a tunnel underground all by himself, and none of his brothers or sisters could understand him.

Whether it's Zhou Lan, west Mu, Zhong Su, or Xiao Feng, they all like to live in high places.

The Holy Lord loves palaces and battles, Basha lives in the water, and as for Bogang, the only thing he can be associated with is sitting on the ground to eat.

Under the rule of the Earth Demon, ordinary humans simply cannot keep up with or satisfy his need to dig underground.

Even modern tools cannot keep up with his speed, let alone the ancient human craftsmen who used to make things purely by hand.

But here, these guys are perfect.

With just a drill bit, they can quickly explore underground.

Di Kui suddenly felt a connection to the fundamental meaning of life.

Those who share the same ideals and goals are generally like this.

The master and rule he spoke of were nothing more than the way a demon was skilled at interacting with humans.

Di Kui, head held high and seemingly in a very good mood, extended an invitation to Zhou Lan:

"Brother, Di Kui is going to dig a hole, do you want to come along?"

Chapter 242 Become My Drill

Zhou Lan waved her hand to indicate her refusal.

He had no interest in digging holes.

They are even less interested in underground life.

If he could, he would rather live alone on the moon.

Each demon has its own habitual way of life, likes, dislikes, and so on, with the eight demons being different.

Zhou Lan expressed his support for Di Kui's hobby, but that didn't mean he would personally dig the hole.

That doesn't fit his aesthetic.

Di Kui seemed to understand this as well; he lowered his head and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute," Zhou Lan called out to him. "My brother, you don't seem to understand yet that the power of this world is far greater than it was in the past."

“I understand, brother,” Di Kui said in a low voice. “As long as I’m underground, I can gradually regain my power. This world is good…”

Di Kui closed his eyes and sensed the energy from underground.

“I can feel that it is different from our world in the past. It is very vibrant and contains great power. I will become stronger than before after I recover here.”

Zhou Lan shook her head slightly and reached out her hand to Di Kui.

The drill pendant, which came from Simon, floated out from his sleeve and appeared between the two demons, emitting a faint green light.

In order to create the anchor point of the Earth Core to replace the Earth King, Zhou Lan only extracted its power without destroying it.

This is a container of spiral force, and also a token of trust.

“This is…” Di Kui looked at the drill pendant, his pupils reflecting a faint green halo.

He felt power from it.

An extremely mysterious power, more special and more promising than the power he currently possesses.

"The special power of this world is enough to elevate you to a higher level; you should be able to understand that."
