A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

After Li Wei had completely dried the finished painting, he looked at Himejima Akeno, casually placed the completed painting on the ground, leaned it against the easel, and began to paint Himejima Akeno.

Himejima Akeno sees Li Wei painting herself and seems somewhat uncomfortable.

Himejima Akeno said, "Weren't you drawing a landscape? How did it turn into drawing me?"

Li Wei's brush moved incessantly, and the palette beside him was already ablaze with color. Li Wei was a painter who loved to use vibrant colors and had a morbidly demanding standard for light, shadow, and perspective.

Li Wei said, "If a beauty like Zhu Nai can't be recorded, what if we can't see her in the future? After all, I'm not from this world, and I'll eventually have to leave."

Li Wei's words made Himejima Akeno feel a little embarrassed. She was confident in her beauty, and even her boss Rias was only about the same in terms of looks.

Because of her beauty, she was often approached by men outside of school. Even within school, female students admired her greatly, and some even harbored romantic feelings for her, which troubled her.

For some reason, the praise she received from Li Wei seemed to make her happier than praise from others. At least she was very happy right now. If she weren't used to maintaining her ladylike image, she would have laughed out loud at this moment.

The meaning of praise from different people is different to her. She would only take the praise from ordinary people as flattery and admiration, but the praise from a strong person like Li Wei is extremely precious.

Li Wei is painting, but he is not an absolute realist, so he incorporates a lot of his own subjective knowledge into his paintings. For example, the school uniform worn by Himejima Akeno has been painted by him as a retro Rococo-style dress, and even the shape has been slightly modified to make it look more retro.

Li Wei smiled and said, "Alright, I've finished drawing."

Li Wei put down his paintbrush, and all the tools he used to assist in painting disappeared, being stored back in his sea of ​​consciousness. On the easel was the painting he had just finished.

Himejima Akeno curiously approached Li Wei from behind and saw herself clearly in the painting. At that moment, Himejima Akeno was speechless. She didn't know how to describe the work, because the painted version of her felt even more beautiful than the real her, so beautiful that she was even a little jealous, even though it was clearly herself.

Li Wei snapped his fingers, and a copy of the exquisite portrait painting appeared out of thin air.

Li Wei smiled and said, "I'll give you the original of this portrait. As for me, I'll keep a copy. I'll give you the original as a memento, and keep the copy for myself. After all, I will eventually leave this world, and seeing this painting will remind me of your face."

Himejima Akeno's face flushed, and her breathing became rapid. Li Wei's forceful, direct approach left her at a loss for words. They say even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run; Himejima Akeno often heard her junior female classmates discuss various topics related to romance. But when she herself encountered such a situation, besides panic, her mind went completely blank.

On the way back to the Gremory mansion, Himejima Akeno was somewhat dazed. Levi's words, which sounded like a confession, made her heart race.

Now, the original portrait painting was in her storage space, and she couldn't refuse Li Wei's kindness, so she accepted the portrait painting.

··· ·Requesting flowers···· ·

Li Wei had said that she would eventually leave this world. Hearing this, Himejima Akeno felt very complicated and a little lost. She herself did not know why she felt lost.

Upon returning to the mansion, the members of the Gremory family were all summoned, and Levi was treated as an honored guest, creating a lively and festive atmosphere at the banquet.

Because of their small population, Li Wei found that the demons of the Gremory family were more united than he had imagined. Perhaps this unity could be maintained until the Gremory family's population grew.

After dinner, Levi returned to the room that Geoticx had prepared for him. The Gremory family mansion was decorated in a retro-luxury style, a style he quite liked.

........ ......... ...

While Li Wei was resting, the four Demon Kings of the Demon Realm gathered again for a small meeting in a secluded and not spacious conference room. The three men and four women sat around a round table, and above their heads were a thousand divine artifacts whose scroll seals had been broken. All the artifacts floated above the four of them, shimmering with strange light.

Sajax said, "Achuka, have the properties of these thousand artifacts all been tested?"

The man called Achuka has a bewitching appearance, but he doesn't give off a bad vibe. Instead, he has an indescribable masculinity, a unique quality that gives people a contradictory feeling.

Achuka said, "After working overtime, we finally finished. Although these artifacts have different abilities, they have one thing in common: they can permanently amplify the user's basic attributes. Moreover, unlike the artifacts in this world, the relationship between these artifacts and their users is not one of 'hosting' but rather a more equal 'cooperation'."

The demon lord Seraph, who looked like a young girl, asked, "Could you explain in detail the differences between the two divine artifacts?"

Sajax and the last Demon King, Falbiwin, also showed curious expressions. Achuka was the most technically skilled of the four Demon Kings. Although his combat power was the lowest, he could be called the "master of skills" among the demon race.

Chapter 1. A New Demon from Another World

Achuka gently pushed up his non-prescription glasses and said, "None of us like using the power of divine artifacts. After all, divine artifacts are a double-edged sword. They can be an enhancement for us, but they can also become a burden. So it's normal that you don't know as much about divine artifacts as I do. In our world, divine artifacts can greatly increase the user's power, but they are also like parasites, causing certain negative effects on the user."

The other three nodded. Although they didn't know as much about the artifacts as Achucado, they were aware of their negative effects. Because of this, they preferred to use their own power rather than rely on the artifacts, as it was safer.

Achuka continued, "In our world, if an artifact is overused and exceeds a safety threshold, the host will be devoured by the artifact. However, the artifacts that Lord Liwei gave us do not have this problem, because the artifacts here are bound to the user, and this binding can be manually broken."

Upon hearing Achuka's words, all three of them adopted serious expressions.

Falbiwen, who was usually not very talkative, said, "So, the artifact that Lord Li Wei gave us can be used repeatedly, and even passed down through generations?"

Achuka nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly it. Because it uses a magical binding method, unlike traditional artifacts where the artifact is automatically teleported to an unknown area after the host dies and then waits for the next host, this new type of artifact will be teleported back to the predetermined location after the user dies. It will not be lost and is more controllable. In other words, it can be passed down from generation to generation, thereby strengthening the demon race from generation to generation."

All three of them showed expressions of shock. Achuka's words contained a lot of information. If he wasn't lying, it meant that the artifacts here were enough to mass-produce powerful high-ranking demons.

Sajax exclaimed, "I never expected Lord Levi to be so generous. He can be said to have done a great service to the Demon Realm. The rise of the Demon Realm is just around the corner."

Seraph said with some concern, "They say one should not accept a reward without merit. The help that gentleman has given us makes me uneasy. Perhaps he has other motives."

Seraph's words were also a source of worry for the other three. After all, this was an aid that would fundamentally strengthen the demon race, a truly heartwarming gesture. However, they couldn't understand what Levi was after.

Falbiwen said, "Although we don't know what that gentleman is planning to do, it's not a bad thing for us, is it? This is a real aid that can strengthen our demon race."

Falbiwen looked at Achuka and asked, "Do these artifacts have any backdoors?"

Achuka said, "So far, I haven't found such an existence. And even if that lord had left a backdoor, what could we do? I can't even understand the internal structure of these artifacts, so how could I find the so-called backdoor? The only thing I can do is test the abilities of each artifact. As for anything more, that's beyond my capabilities."

Aqiuka's words surprised the other three. Aqiuka could be considered the most technologically advanced person in the Demon Realm. Aqiuka, who was able to create "Demon Pieces," far surpassed them in research ability. Even Aqiuka said he was helpless against it, so there was nothing they could do either.

The four Demon Lords have very clear roles. Sajax is the most powerful of the four and also the strongest fighter among the demons. Seraphim is responsible for the demon realm's external propaganda and diplomacy. Falbiwyn is the demon realm's strongest strategist; although his own strength is inferior to Sajax's, he excels at commanding large armies in foreign wars, and his importance is no less than Sajax's. Achuka is responsible for logistics and technology; he is responsible for most of the demon realm's advanced magic-related technologies, such as the demon chess pieces and ranking games, which are his creations.

Faced with this situation, the four demon kings felt powerless. Whether it was the enormous otherworldly demons and fallen angels, or Levi who had extended a letter of goodwill to them, they were all beings they could not confront head-on.

Even when facing an attack from Heaven and fallen angels, they never felt as helpless as they do now. But reality is cruel, and all they can do is try to think positively.

Falbiwen said, "Since we can't figure out the underlying principles, let's not think about it anymore. I've received news from the intelligence department that they've discovered traces of otherworldly demons on Barbatos's territory, and they've even obtained clear first-hand image data... We can't afford to waste any more time. The artifacts must be deployed as soon as possible and assigned to everyone who needs them. This time, for some reason, the demons from the other world haven't attacked our city, but no one can guarantee that they won't do the same next time."

Falbiwen gently tapped the round table, and at the center of the table, a futuristic 3D projection appeared before the world. What current technology cannot do, magic can do with ease.

The projected image was a desolate mountainous area, the most common terrain in the Demon Realm. Habitable areas were extremely rare in the Demon Realm, and most places were wilderness with only rubble and gravel. Such terrain accounted for at least half of the total area of ​​the Demon Realm.

The silence didn't last long. Soon, an enormous monster descended from the sky. It had a half-human, half-beast body, entirely encased in gray-black chitinous armor, with a long tail that resembled a monstrous bone whip. Unlike the previously robust Abidas, this otherworldly demon appeared "slender," with an overall very long and delicate build. Its forearms and reverse-jointed legs gave it a feminine, elongated appearance. Atop its relatively long neck was a slender head adorned with a massive crown. There were no visible eyes on the head, but instead, a terrifyingly large mouth protruded from it, its tongue ending in a small, fanged beak.

This enormous monster, with a slender, feminine figure, possesses demonic wings far larger than its own body. Its main body is composed of chitin, with thin membranes separating the chitinous structures.

The monster suddenly turned its head towards the camera, and a beam of light shot out from its mouth, then the projection stopped.

None of the four people looked very happy.

Falbiwen said, "The intelligence officer who relayed the message was killed. When we arrived at the scene, nothing was left. The entire area where he was located had been vaporized by the monster's attack. Knowing he couldn't escape before the attack arrived, he used his last strength to send the intelligence back."

Chapter 1. Official Fraud

Seraph said, "So far, of the ten monsters, demons and fallen angels from other worlds, four have appeared. The remaining ones are still hiding in places we don't know, eyeing us covetously. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle."

Falbiwen said, "That's why I said we need to be fast. We must strengthen the entire clan's power before the enemy fully recovers their strength."

Sajax said, "Then what excuse will you use to distribute these artifacts? There are thousands of artifacts. Such a huge number. If we can't give the people below a reasonable explanation, our internal situation might fall into chaos."

Falbiwen tapped his fingers lightly on the table. He had some habitual little movements when he was thinking, which helped him to relax. The pressure of being a demon king was not small. There were four demon kings, and each of them had their own way of relaxing.

Falbiwin's current problem is that he must ensure that Levi's information is not leaked. Currently, the only people who know about Levi, besides the core members of the Gremory family, are these few demon lords.

Li Wei's requirement was that his personal information not be leaked, so finding a reasonable excuse was not an easy task.

The four men were scratching their heads around the round table. The secret meeting room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. All four men had conflicted expressions on their faces. Every now and then, someone would come up with a new idea, but then they would reject it themselves.

After an unknown amount of time, Achuka raised his head, his eyes hardening as if he had made a tremendous decision, and said, "We have no choice but to put on a show. Do you still remember the legends from the ancient times of the Demon Realm?"

"Is it a legend about the primordial demon king?" Sajax asked.

Legend has it that in the ancient times of the Demon Realm, the demon race was nothing more than monsters that only knew how to fight. In that era, a powerful demon who had awakened his wisdom used his great power to subdue various powerful demons and impart all kinds of knowledge to them, allowing these ancient demons to get rid of their ignorance and stupidity and transition from "beasts" to "humans".

Legend has it that this primordial demon king, who changed the fate of the demon race, buried a huge treasure trove somewhere in the demon realm. Whoever can obtain the treasure trove will receive the primordial demon king's gift and possess power strong enough to overturn the world.

This legend is something that most pure-blooded demons have heard since childhood; it can be considered a fairy tale belonging to the demon race.

Sajax's expression changed, and he said, "You want to forge the Primal Demon King's treasure vault?!"

Achuka nodded and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Although doing this is blasphemous to the original Demon King, we have no other choice now."

The original Demon King was a figure akin to a faith to demons, so even the four current Demon Kings hesitated to take such action.

Moreover, no one knows whether the legend is true or false. If the treasure trove of the original demon king is actually discovered in the future, wouldn't their fabrication be exposed?

Falbiwen said, "I agree with Achuka's opinion. We have no other choice now. If we don't overcome the current difficulties, the demon race will have no future. We can deal with the future later. Right now, we must ensure that the immediate problem is solved."

Sajax sighed. He wasn't particularly adept at strategy; he trusted his fists more than any strategist. Achuka and Falbiwen, on the other hand, were both incredibly intelligent and far more shrewd than him. Therefore, this act of blasphemy against their ancestors was, in the current situation, the optimal solution.

Achuka said, "Leave the location of the treasure to me. I will handle everything as soon as possible. All you have to do is cooperate with my actions and make sure nothing goes wrong."

........................

Over the past two days, Li Wei and Himejima Akeno have been traveling around sightseeing. Their relationship has progressed beyond that of ordinary friends. Although they are still quite far from being lovers, they have established a basic understanding of each other.

The two stopped at the top of a huge rocky mountain.

Li Wei gazed into the distance, his eyes meeting only desolation: massive, bare rocky mountains exposed above the sand, sparse, low shrubs, and demonic beasts that could survive in such harsh conditions.

Li Wei sighed and said, "This is truly desolate. I can understand why the demons went to open up the human world. A world like this, without an exit to the outside world, is simply a prison."

The Demon Realm is not a planetary structure, but an enclosed spherical structure, which is why Li Wei said it was like a prison.

The reason why the demon realm was so insane before was because the limited space at the time could not support so many demons, so someone had to die.

Fortunately, the Demon Realm is also growing. According to the information Li Wei found in the Demon Realm's library, the Demon Realm's volume has increased by % compared to the ancient Blood War era. This is exciting news for all demons, meaning that as long as the demon population doesn't explode, the grown Demon Realm can gradually support the current demon population.

However, after establishing a connection with the human world, the demons were no longer willing to patiently wait for the demon realm to grow naturally. Opening up the human world for their own benefit became the mainstream trend in the demon realm.

Himejima Akeno laughed and said, "This is probably what they call luck. The demon race is quite lucky. After being forced into a corner, things took an unexpected turn. Luck is the most unpredictable thing, but the demon race's luck has never been bad."

Li Wei said, "In fact, neither the demon realm nor the human realm is the final destination for demons. If demons want to completely break free from the environmental restrictions on their population, they must find a way to embark on the path of conquering the stars, going to the universe, and colonizing one planet after another. Only in this way can demons have a future."

Himejima Akeno sighed inwardly. The higher-ups in the Demon World also had similar thoughts. Because of Rias, she was able to come into contact with some powerful high-ranking demons. All four Demon Lords had the idea of ​​exploring outer space, but due to pressure from Heaven and the Fallen Angels, such ideas could only remain thoughts for the time being.

Chapter 1. Visitors from the Felix Family

These past two days, Li Wei and Akeno Himejima have been together. Li Wei, acting like a curious child, has learned many things that weren't mentioned in the anime through Akeno Himejima, gaining a deeper understanding of the situation in this world.
