Chapter 314 The Lord of Hell and the Little Girl's Journey to the Dawnwood Realm

Xiu En took a step forward.

The moment he took that step, the golden light around him transformed into a golden storm.

"Pioneering".

He murmured to himself.

Centered on Xiu En, a pure golden sphere with a diameter of about fifty meters exploded!

The extreme heat and light evaporated all the thick black fog in the surrounding area in a fraction of a second.

Lilith watched as her meticulously constructed domain was erased by a luminous object.

"This is impossible..."

She murmured softly.

At this level of lighting, all stealth and shadow manipulation become ineffective.

The entire street was forcibly pulled back into the real physical world. Moreover, in this light environment, Lilith, a creature accustomed to sneaking and manipulating in the shadows, felt an discomfort called being burned by the sun.

Johnny had recovered somewhat and continued attacking Lilith.

Shuen ruffled Serafina's hair.

"Listen, Ms. Lilith. I have no interest in your hellish politics, but I do care whether the little girl is comfortable."

He extended two fingers and gently tapped them in the air.

A surge of golden energy, combined with Johnny's, rapidly spread beneath Lilith's feet, pinning her legs to the ground.

"Although I am very interested in your invitation, my current team does not yet have the position of scheming female devil."

"So, before my good mood fades, hurry up and open the dimensional exit here for me, or let me see how long the Queen of Hell can last before she's roasted by the sun's fire."

Clearly, Shuen didn't want to kill someone in front of the little girl, even if that person was a demon.

Just as Lilith was deep in thought amidst Shuen's threats and Ghost Rider's attacks, a small crack suddenly appeared in the sky once again.

A handsome man with a wicked grin appeared between Shuen and Lilith.

He gave everyone around him a wicked smile.

"Oh, my lovely children."

The man looked at Lilith with a habitual look of disgust in his eyes.

"Lilith, you always love playing the role of a loving mother. But have you forgotten that I am the one responsible for this child?"

He turned his head to look at Serafina, and then very naturally reached out and ruffled the little girl's hair.

Serafina, driven by an instinctive sense of closeness, did not flinch.

"My little darling, you've chosen a good companion."

The man looked at Xiu En, a calculating glint in his eyes.

"Hello, unfamiliar sun. I am Lucifer."

"I think we need to have a formal negotiation regarding this asset transfer."

"Tsk, the efficiency of Hell is truly an eye-opener."

Xiu En curled his lip in disgust, looking at the man in front of him who, although dressed in a suit and tie, exuded an aura of evil.

He didn't like demons. In his view, these dark creatures were either extremely selfish and sophisticated egoists or simply mentally ill people who enjoyed torturing others.

But at this moment, looking at Serafina, who seemed exceptionally peaceful as Lucifer patted her head, his initial disgust was replaced by a subtle sense of acceptance.

Although Lucifer was a devil, whatever his purpose was in creating Lucerne, he did provide protection for this orphaned and helpless child.

"Since you've done such a good job with the initial investment in this project, I'll reluctantly accept your request to talk."

Xiu En spread his hands, but the golden light in his eyes never went out.

"However, before I take over this asset, we need to deal with a less harmonious disruptive element."

He turned his head slightly to look at Lilith.

The moment Lucifer appeared, Lilith completely lost her voice in the scene.

Under the absolute hierarchy of Hell, she is a noble monarch, but when facing the supreme commander Lucifer, her authority is not so high.

She stared at Xiu En for a long time, a hint of resentment and curiosity flashing in her eyes, but in the end she could only let out a soft snort at Lucifer's contemptuous glance.

"This time, I'll let you play this Sun Game first. But remember, little bug, a pure soul is most perfect when it is sinking into darkness."

With a burst of black smoke, Lilith vanished from the spot.

After the other person left, Xiu En took out a handful of glittering gold coins from his trench coat pocket.

He walked over to the fast food restaurant owner, who had been protected by Xiu En earlier. Apart from being frightened and losing his shop, the owner was basically normal. Xiu En poured the entire bag of gold coins onto the owner's table.

"The compensation I'm giving you includes the store's renovation, any possible emotional distress, and it's as if I've booked all the future special offers."

The fast food restaurant owner stared at the pile of gold coins, his mouth agape enough to fit a hamburger, his eyes shifting from various fears of demons to a strange shape, and he bowed three times to Xiu En.

"Well then, Mr. Lucifer, since you also agree that the transfer of assets is justified, I think we should wrap up this business trip as soon as possible."

Xiu En snapped his fingers.

This time, there was no interference from Lilith.

Shuon took Serafina's small hand and guided her and Luceria into the room.

Then, he raised an eyebrow at the man who was still adjusting his suit cuffs.

"Welcome to the Dawnwood Realm. I think for a Lord of Hell who loves art and trade, as long as the sun doesn't attack you, it's definitely a top-notch crossover resort."

Lucifer chuckled softly, glanced at Xiu En, and then stepped into the golden light.

The moment he stepped into the portal, Hugh turned and glanced at Johnny.

"Mr. Skull, I won't invite you anymore. Remember to park your motorcycle in a legal parking space, so the police here don't give you a ticket."

The portal closed completely.

In the small Texas town, only a burning skull remained on the street, letting out a helpless sigh at the deserted streets.

The other side of the portal.

As the three of them, along with a dog, stepped onto the soft, cloud-like green grass of the Ximu Realm, Lucifer narrowed his eyes.

He could feel that every inch of this land and every leaf contained life energy.

"Oh! It's so bright. It's so warm."

Lucifer shielded his eyes from the sunlight, his tone filled with disgust, but his eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"Your world is like the ultimate fantasy of some religious madman."

Meanwhile, under a tree not far away...

Ivy herself was comfortably lying in a hammock, holding a book about ecology in her hand.

When she sensed the arrival of the new visitor, her gaze lingered on Lucifer for two seconds, then she made eye contact with Sunflower to get some information before turning the page.

"Welcome. Releasing demonic energy in public areas is prohibited here, or I'll turn you into an organic fertilizer barrel for weeding."

After feeling the warmth of this world, Serafina finally stepped out from behind Shuen.

She looked around with curiosity at the glowing butterflies fluttering about and the ever-warm breeze.

Luceries rolled around on the grass, and the demon dog didn't seem to feel any discomfort at all, letting out a contented whimper.

Lucifer looked around.

He saw refugees from different worlds working in the distance. He saw the nascent order that Bruce had built.

He read the basic information about this world, and although there was no hell, it didn't seem to affect his powers.

A new world jointly ruled by the sun god and the nature god?

Let me see what their needs are now.

"Very interesting."

Lucifer silently recorded it in his heart.

"Shuen, I think I'd like to stay here for a while."

"As long as you can provide a spacious enough terrace, and some artwork that can lift my spirits."

Shuen looked at the hellish tenant, nodded, and then his attention was entirely focused on the little girl.

Lucifer watched for a while, then made a suggestion.

"I think I know what you need, Shuen."

The Lord of Hell's voice carried a knowing smile.

"Throughout the myriad realms, there are countless worlds that possess the concept of Hell. I can open a portal for you, allowing your Sun Ring to directly connect to the criminal databases of those Hells, serving as a reference standard for you and your people to judge the evildoers of that world."

This is undoubtedly a generous proposal that can solve some of the problems currently facing Shuen.

However, Lucifer, who made the suggestion, noticed that Shuon's attention was not on him at all.

Shuen was squatting on the ground, his face full of excitement, pointing to a purple plant with a huge mouth that looked fierce, and introducing it to Serafina, whom he had just led to his side, as if showing off a treasure.

"Look! This big guy is called the Big Mouth Flower! And in your new home, there will be an even bigger flower called Black Gold. That flower can eat metal, looks silly, but is very friendly to children."

"And that one over there!"

Shuen then pointed to a row of nuts that looked like bowling balls.

"It can stop monsters from charging! And let me tell you, I've tried it, and after it's dried out, it's incredibly crunchy, much better than potato chips!"

Lucifer waited a while, looking at Shuen.

He strode over to Hugh and Serafina, squatted down, and examined the giant mouth flower that was practicing chewing motions in the air.

"Yes, it is indeed a very interesting creation."

"Look at its ferocious mouthparts, that undisguised desire to devour its prey, it's truly beautiful."

"Right, right!"

Xiu En immediately echoed excitedly.

"I told you it was cool! Ivy always says it's ugly and not as good as vines!"

The sunflower on his shoulder rolled its eyes at Lucifer.

"This one is called the Frost Archer."

Xiu En pointed to a plant that was entirely ice-blue and was exhaling cold air into the air.

"The peas it spits out are icy, which can slow down monsters. Later in the summer, you can collect the ice cubes and add them to your drinks—they taste amazing!"

Lucifer nodded.

"By stripping the target of their passion, the goal of control is achieved. This is similar to the logic of the seventh level of hell, where traitors are punished by being frozen."

Seraphia curiously reached out her little hand and touched an ice pea that the Ice Archer had spat out. She hissed from the cold and withdrew her hand, but a curious smile appeared on her face.

"And this! Destroy! Mushroom!"

Xiu En, as if showing off a treasure, pulled the two of them to a wilted-looking purple mushroom.

"Don't be fooled by its sleeping during the day; at night, it will suddenly explode and wipe out a large area around it! It's incredibly powerful! The only downside is that it can't distinguish between friend and foe."

Serafina looked at the sleeping mushroom, then at the landmine flower next to it that looked like a small sun, and pointed at it, asking Shuen, "Which of those two is stronger?"

"Well..."

Xiu En was stumped by the question.

"They're all amazing! Ivy's plants are the best!"

On the hammock not far away.

Ivy herself put down the book she was holding.

She really wanted to use a vine to hang that good-for-nothing Shuen and that obviously ill-intentioned Lucifer up a tree together.

But when her gaze fell on Serafina, who was looking up at her.

She watched as the child reached out to touch a Sun Mushroom, and after feeling its warm energy, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Hmph, a bunch of childish kids."

She gave a soft hum and picked up the book again.

"What is this?"

At the end of the visit, Serafina pointed to a plant growing in the pool that looked like a seaweed but had a purple star on top and asked curiously.

"Wow! That's amazing!"

Xiu En immediately perked up.

"This is called a starfruit! It's a new one we just made. It can operate in water without lotus leaves, and it can fire star-shaped projectiles in five directions simultaneously! It's amphibious, providing all-around, no-blind-spot attacks!"

"Star?"

Serafina's eyes shone even brighter.

"yes."

Looking into her eyes, Xiu En's face broke into an even brighter smile.

He gently took Serafina's small hand in his.

Then, he guided her to place her hand on the leaves of the starfruit plant.

"Try saying it to yourself."

Xiuen guided him.

"Say...light it up."

Serafina closed her eyes, seemingly understanding but not quite.

She could feel a force like sunlight flowing from Xiu En's hand down her fingertips and into the plant.

next second.
