Rias said, "The entrance to the Demon World is in Tokyo. Usually, Akeno and I teleport there directly, but my teleportation spell can't teleport individuals other than my familiars. This card is used for spatial positioning. With this card, I can teleport you there, Li Wei-kun."

Li Wei smiled but said nothing, because ordinary teleportation spells were ineffective against someone as powerful as him. His very existence instinctively stabilized the surrounding spatial structure; he didn't even need to cast spells, he could imprison the surrounding space and block the spatial mobility of hostile targets with a mere thought.

For Qi cultivators who internalize their own power, this ability is considered basic.

Of course, Li Wei would actively cooperate with Rias's teleportation technique; otherwise, with Rias's abilities, she wouldn't be able to "drag" him.

Li Wei said, "I have broken the spatial restriction here, and now we can use teleportation magic here. Let's start the teleportation here."

Rias nodded, and a magnificent red magic circle appeared beneath her feet. The circular magic circle had various spiritual characters on the outer ring and the Gremory family crest on the inner ring.

A red light enveloped the three people in the room. Although Rias felt a little strained by the teleportation, she still managed to cast the spell successfully.

When the surroundings had transformed into the familiar train station, Rias breathed a sigh of relief. The teleportation hadn't failed; thankfully, it hadn't failed.

Rias watched as Li Wei observed his surroundings with curious eyes, and whispered to him, "The passage between the Demon World and the Human World is extremely long. In order to shorten the journey, the Demon World built this station and used trains to shorten the commute time between the two worlds."

Li Wei laughed and said, "This is really interesting. It's quite different from what I imagined. I never thought that demons would be getting along with humans."

Li Wei looked at Himejima Akeno, who was standing in the background, and said, "Why doesn't Akeno say anything? I rarely see her speak these days."

Himejima Akeno said, "After all, I am a subordinate of the Minister, and I cannot interrupt when the Minister and Lord Li Wei are talking."

Li Wei said, "What kind of logic is this? Aren't we friends? Why do you still call me 'adult'? It feels so formal. From now on, Akeno, just call me by my name, like Rias does. I'm your friend, not your superior, so you can say whatever you want without feeling awkward."

Himejima Akeno's limiter was removed, and she felt like she had come back to life.

Himejima Akeno said, "Thank you very much. However, I am not a very talkative person, so sometimes I may give people around me a dull feeling."

The train stopped in front of the three of them. Rias went to the ticket booth next to the train station, bought a ticket, and gave it to Li Wei.

Rias said, "There are two trains running back and forth here, usually every few minutes. There will be more trains on holidays. Let's get on the train and wait."

Li Wei looked at the train ticket in his hand. The ticket bore traces of magic and had special anti-counterfeiting features. It seemed that the demon's mastery of magic had reached a relatively advanced stage, and traces of magic could be seen in every aspect of life.

Just like the train in front of us, although its exterior looks like an old-fashioned train from the last century, it is powered by magic. The magic is converted into electricity to drive the train forward. The technology involved is much more advanced than the electric trains that humans currently possess.

It seems that the demon race has also realized the importance of technology, and has even developed its own technology tree. This magic train is a product of a branch of their technology tree.

The three of them got into the car. Although Li Wei had already learned about the layout of the car using the spatial beacon, the feeling of sitting inside was different.

Just after Li Wei stepped onto the train, the train conductor in the conductor's compartment noticed that the space inside the train had shifted, and the height had increased dramatically.

"What's going on?" Just as the train conductor was trying to see the data clearly, the rapidly increasing load reading suddenly dropped.

"It's probably just my imagination," the train conductor muttered, shifting his attention to the other equipment and checking it. Once the equipment was confirmed to be working properly, he prepared to start the train.

In fact, the change in the load scale was because Li Wei was binding his own spatial coordinates. Li Wei discovered that the "tunnel" in front of the train was a wormhole.

Wormholes are very common in outer space. They can connect different spaces, linking distant regions together. Li Wei's own "spatial weight" is so great that if he doesn't compress his own "spatial weight," he will crush the wormhole.

Although Li Wei's size is only slightly taller than that of an ordinary person, to a wormhole, Li Wei's size is several times the size of the moon. Such spatial weight is enough to cause the wormhole to break and collapse.

Realizing this, Li Wei quickly changed his coordinates before the train departed. If he waited until the train arrived, it would be too late, and something bad would definitely happen.

Chapter 1. The Demon Realm

As the train started moving, Li Wei took in the scenery inside the wormhole. He had played the Star Wars game EVE before, where players could pilot starships and do all sorts of things in the universe. Occasionally, players would encounter wormholes connecting two star systems. Through wormholes, players could directly traverse dozens or even hundreds of star systems, crossing countless light-years, traveling from one location to another in the distance.

However, the scenery inside a real wormhole is completely different from what you see in the game. A wormhole is like a sightseeing passage in an aquarium, with invisible barriers on all sides, ensuring that the inside is not connected to the outside. The outside is a mysterious and deep colorful starry sky. Li Wei, with his excellent eyesight, even drew a reference star map in his mind.

The train was quite fast, and in just a few minutes, Li Wei and the others arrived at the station in the Demon Realm. After getting off the train, Li Wei still felt a sense of lingering enjoyment. The wonderful scenery was an unforgettable experience for him as a tourist.

Looking at the city that had begun to be rebuilt, Li Wei said, "It doesn't feel much different from the human world, except that the sky is a little gloomy. The reconstruction work doesn't seem to be going so smoothly; there are still some ruins around the station that haven't been cleared away."

Himejima Akeno said from the side, "There's nothing we can do about it. Although we have the power called magic and have more advantages over humans in terms of infrastructure, it is still not an easy task for us to restore the city to its former appearance in a very short time."

Rias said, "It's fortunate that the station and the passage connecting the two worlds were not destroyed. If a monster like Abyss really targets the passage connecting the two worlds, we won't be able to stop him."

Li Wei said, "Rias, have you two discussed how to distribute the scrolls I gave you before?"

Rias said, "Not yet. Such a big matter cannot be decided in two days. My family is one of the most powerful noble families in the Demon Realm. I have already handed the scroll over to the four Demon Lords who rule the Demon Realm, and they will decide how the artifacts should be distributed."

Rias said that the distribution results were not yet available, but in reality, the four Demon Lords had already come up with a general plan. Of the thousand divine artifacts, the families to which the four Demon Lords belonged would take the lion's share, their relatives and friends would take a portion, and the remainder would be distributed among other families.

Incidentally, the four Demon Kings have already decided that, for the sake of maintaining a balance of power among their respective noble families, the Felix family can only obtain a maximum of three divine artifacts. All four Demon Kings believe this decision is reasonable; the Felix family is already acting so recklessly, and if they were allowed to obtain a significant number of divine artifacts, who knows what other trouble they might cause.

As the Demon King's sister, Rias naturally knows many inside stories that ordinary demons don't. Moreover, she was the one who brought back the Thousand Divine Treasures, so she would naturally be allowed to listen in when the four Demon Kings discussed this matter.

Now, aside from the demon king belonging to the Gremory family, the other three demon kings are unaware of Levi's attitude towards the demon realm. However, they are certain of one thing: Levi has goodwill towards the Gremory family. Therefore, the Gremory family will handle the matters that need to be dealt with by Levi. In the eyes of the other three demon kings, this is a lucrative job. Levi can easily squeeze some good things out of his own pockets and feed the Gremory family to the point of bursting.

Li Wei looked around and said, "I was originally planning to wander around here, but since the reconstruction isn't finished yet, let's skip it and just go to your house."

Rias said, "If you want to experience city scenery, there are many small towns suitable for tourism in the Gremory family's territory. This public city, which belongs to all demons, will probably take more than half a month to complete its restoration."

As one of the top noble families, the Gremory family owns a vast amount of territory. The demons under the Gremory family's control, according to last year's statistics, numbered in the tens of thousands, equivalent to the population of a European-type country in the human world.

Although the Demon Realm is rich in minerals, its ecosystem is relatively fragile, so there aren't many habitable areas. These more than one million people are concentrated in more than ten cities and more than thirty towns.

Because the population is not particularly large, the Gremory family pays great attention to the creation of the urban environment, and all kinds of public facilities are available. Although the cities and towns belonging to the Gremory family are not as bustling as the large city where she and Li Wei are now standing, they are more suitable for living.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Alright then, I'll stay here for a while. I've borrowed an identity for myself in the human world; I'm an elective course teacher at Kuoh Academy. There's still some time before the start of the semester, so I'll just travel around the Demon Realm."

Rias was somewhat surprised.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Do you think it's strange that I became a school teacher? Don't be so quick to say no, I know that's what you're thinking."

Rias said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm a little curious."

Li Wei laughed and said, "Compared to dealing with those lifeless adults in society, I prefer talking to energetic girls, so I applied for a job at Kuoh Academy."

...

Li Wei noticed the detail in Li Wei's words: he didn't say "young people" or "students," but rather "girls." This indicates that Li Wei would give certain preferential treatment when dealing with women.

The three of them did not linger at the station and headed towards the teleportation station at a leisurely pace. Rias explained the various rules of the Demon Realm to Li Wei, so that Li Wei, as an outsider who did not know the rules, would not suffer any losses in such a place.

In public cities like these, all demons must abide by the rules. However, if it's the territory of a noble family, then the members of that family possess special privileges within their own domain. While they might not have the power to kill or take the lives of ordinary demons, dealing with one is as easy as eating and drinking. The reason Rias says the Demon Realm isn't as simple as it seems is because at least half of the Demon Realm's population is under the rule of noble families. Only about half the population truly enjoys relative freedom, and these individuals mostly reside in these public cities or run their own businesses in the human world.

Ordinary demons must constantly guard against the hunts of fallen angels and Heaven in the human realm. Demons who can establish businesses in the human realm must start as demons. Lower-ranking demons must rely on the protection of higher-ranking demons to operate in the human realm; otherwise, they will face utter annihilation.

Chapter. Mouth

The pedestrians arrived at the teleportation station and returned to the Gremory noble territory. What appeared before Li Wei was a classic European city full of retro charm. Unlike the city he had seen before, which had a lot of high-rise buildings, the buildings here were generally small high-rises of seven stories, and they were all retro-style pointed buildings.

Magic, in some ways, is far more convenient than the technology that humans currently possess. At least in terms of transportation, the demon realm is in a relatively advanced position.

However, transportation in the Demon Realm is terrible. Unlike humans who use highways to connect cities, the Demon Realm uses teleportation stations to connect cities.

The teleportation station transports a large number of passengers every day. Many residents of the Demon Realm live in one city and work in another. They rely on the teleportation station for their commute. It only takes a few seconds to travel between the two cities. The biggest expense is the distance from their home or workplace to the teleportation station.

However, the public transportation in the cities of the Demon Realm is quite good, so unlike humans, demons spend very little time commuting to work, which indirectly saves them a lot of time.

The teleportation station uses ley line energy. While it may not be entirely inexhaustible, the demons' current usage is far from its limit. Furthermore, the demons consciously protect the ley line energy, making it a virtually inexhaustible "semi-perpetual motion machine" of energy.

Because of the limited teleportation stations, the wilderness of the Demon Realm has almost no decent roads, and magic can be used after leaving the city, so most of the logistics in the Demon Realm are transported by air.

Li Wei had already placed his spatial beacons everywhere, so he had a certain understanding of the situation in the Demon Realm. The cities in the Demon Realm appeared isolated, but in reality, they were very closely connected. When a city faced a crisis, the demon race could quickly mobilize a large number of troops using teleportation stations powered by ley lines. Such mobilization capabilities were quite terrifying.

"That tallest building in the heart of the city is the Gremory family's mansion," Rias said proudly, pointing to the towering building in the distance.

Because they possess magical powers, the architectural style of demons is more extravagant than that of humans. Spectacular buildings that are difficult for humans to construct are not a great challenge for demons.

Li Wei looked in the direction Rias was pointing. Although he had already scanned the terrain of this area with the spatial beacon and knew about this building, he still pretended to be surprised and said, "The buildings of the demons in this world are quite interesting. They are more exquisite than I expected."

This city is not as large as the original city, but the undulating terrain gives the buildings a rather artistic feel. This reminded Li Wei of the mountain city, a city that can make even navigation systems dizzy. The city that the demons built here was also built against the mountain, which gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

The three of them walked towards the building. Li Wei disguised himself as a tourist and naturally wanted to experience the local customs and culture. Moreover, with two beautiful girls accompanying him, what could he possibly complain about?

Rias asked, "Li Wei, what are the demons like in your world? Do they have their own architectural style? Are their enormous bodies and the buildings they live in as massive as mountains?"

It's normal for Rias to have such questions, because in this world, demons, under normal circumstances, as long as they don't show their demon wings and tails, actually look quite similar to humans. Therefore, the architectural standards of demons and humans can be similar.

However, the otherworldly demons and fallen angels that appeared in the Demon Realm were all enormous creatures hundreds of meters tall, as large as mountains. She was very curious about how these enormous creatures lived on a daily basis.

Li Wei said, "The demon realm in my realm is called Purgatory, a place of only slaughter. The larvae of demons, the Purgatory Worms, are born in the magma at the bottom of Purgatory. The worms will mutate and develop into various kinds of primordial demons, who will fight each other, devouring each other's flesh and soul to grow, and then keep climbing upwards until they reach the outermost layer of Purgatory... When they become powerful enough, they will break through the shackles of Purgatory and enter the material universe, and then wreak havoc on the universe. Even the weakest demon that can enter the material universe can easily destroy the civilization on a planet, and a slightly stronger one can completely destroy a planet."

Rias felt a chill run down her spine. Although the demon realm in this world also had its so-called "blood war" in ancient times, it paled in comparison to the demons in Livy's world.

Furthermore, through the details of Li Wei's words, Rias deduced some clues. First, the purgatory in Li Wei's world is not directly connected to the material universe. Demons must become powerful enough to enter the material world; otherwise, they can only be trapped in the purgatory, constantly fighting with their own kind.

However, even the worst demons that can enter the material universe have the power to destroy civilizations. However, now that humanity has mastered nuclear weapons, neither Heaven nor the Demon Realm has the confidence to destroy humanity. Furthermore, scattered and unruly forces like fallen angels are unwilling to provoke humanity's core power.

The fact that the demons in Livy's world can easily destroy civilizations is enough to show the power gap between the two sides.

Li Wei continued, "Although they are also called demons, they don't have their own civilization because they are only good at destruction. Unlike the demons in this world, they haven't developed their own social system. Even after entering the material universe, they still follow the primitive law of the jungle. In other words, they are just powerful barbarians who can do nothing but destroy. On the other hand, the fallen angels in my world at least have their own civilization."

Li Wei casually made up stories. He was becoming more and more skilled at fooling people. He was just adding his own settings. Anyway, whether it was a demon or a fallen angel, they were all puppets controlled by his thought process. They would act according to the settings he added, so there was no need to worry about being exposed.

Chapter 1. Opportunities for Solitude

Rias and Akeno Himejima were stunned by Li Wei's words, but neither of them doubted the truth of his words, because they both felt that Li Wei had no reason to lie to them.

Rias, in particular, had no doubts about Li Wei's words after the four Demon Lords confirmed the authenticity of the thousand artifacts.

After all, Li Wei is a powerful figure who can casually produce thousands of divine artifacts, and he is also a strongman who can capture these escaped fallen angels and demons at any time. And whatever the strongman says is right.

Rias is currently being misled by the information gap. Apart from the information revealed by the puppet clones themselves, most of the information about Li Wei's puppet clones comes from Li Wei. And the puppet clones will inevitably perform according to the settings given by Li Wei, so Rias will only trust Li Wei more and more.

Li Wei followed in Rias's footsteps and found that this small city had a very strong sense of life. Everywhere he looked, he could see demon children playing and laughing. There were shops everywhere in the streets and alleys, and the streets were always crowded with people.

After watching the anime, Li Wei became aware of some of the world's settings. Demons are divided into native demons and nascent demons. Native demons are like Rias, while Akeno Himejima is a nascent demon.

Native demons are beings native to the demon realm. While they may not be inherently powerful, their bloodlines are pure enough that they have a higher chance of producing powerful offspring. As for spawned demons, they are mostly created when a high-ranking or superior demon transforms a highly capable individual from another intelligent life form into a demon. For example, Himejima Akeno underwent this transformation twice.

Akeno Himejima was initially a half-human, half-fallen angel. Before the power of the fallen angel within her awakened, she was just an ordinary person. After her first awakening, she became a fallen angel—this is her first transformation. Based on this, she was transformed into a demon by Rias—this is her second transformation. The successful transformation of a fallen angel into a demon is a low-probability event; ordinary people cannot learn this technique. Only a top-tier high-ranking demon like Rias can guarantee the success of the transformation ritual.
