Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

This feeling is strange.

Previously, Chu Zhou only thought that the strange beasts of Black Dragon Mountain submitted to him mainly because of his superior strength.

But now it seems that it's not just that.

These little demons actually actually regarded themselves as some kind of faith.

In the ancient underground city, the strange rock sneered, "Lotus Demon, doesn't this feel quite nice?"

Chu Zhou said calmly, "What's so good about it?"

The strange stone said, "Don't you enjoy the feeling of them fearing you, respecting you, and worshipping you? Here, in your forbidden zone, you are the master, you are everything."

Strange Stone continued, "Black Dragon Mountain used to be a forbidden zone, but now it's different. There are rules, division of labor, hierarchy, and even faith here."

"In time, this place will no longer be just a forbidden zone, but the beginnings of a demon kingdom."

A demon kingdom?

Chu Zhou's heart stirred. These two words were quite interesting. In the past, he only thought about devouring and evolving, occupying resources, and expanding the forbidden zone.

But now, seeing the changes in these little demons, he suddenly realized that he might really need to set some rules for Black Dragon Mountain.

Otherwise, if these strange beasts fight each other, chaos will inevitably ensue sooner or later.

Black Dragon Mountain has now expanded to 300 kilometers, and it contains not only the Black Tiger King, Mountain King, and Little Golden Treasure, but also their core retinue.

There are also a large number of newly awakened demons.

Birds, beasts, aquatic creatures, and underground monsters are multiplying in number.

Without order, trouble will happen sooner or later. With a thought, Chu Zhou's voice instantly spread throughout the entire Black Dragon Mountain.

"Black Tiger King".

Outside Spirit Spring Valley, the Black Tiger King suddenly looked up, a glint of excitement in its eyes. It respectfully said, "Your subordinate is here!"

"Mountain King".

In the Southwest Ape Valley, Shan Kui, leading a group of red-eyed apes, knelt on the ground and said, "Master!"

"Little Jinbao".

In the sky, Little Golden Treasure made a sharp turn, its golden wings cutting through the clouds.

"Master, I'm here!"

"Azure Blade, Black Armor, Lord White Mountain."

Several powerful auras responded simultaneously from the underground root network, the water veins of Heilong Lake, and beside the abandoned well in Linjiang City.

Chu Zhou's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority: "Three days from now, the first Demon Beast Tournament will be held at the shore of Black Dragon Lake. All second-tier and above beasts from Black Dragon Mountain must attend."

"Even little demons who have awakened their intelligence may come."

These words caused an uproar throughout Black Dragon Mountain. On the Flying Feather Team's side, Little Sparrow, who had just been patrolling, almost crashed into a tree.

"The Demon Beast Tournament, does the Demon Lord wish to see us?"

The crow beside him was so excited that its wings trembled: "Stay calm, stay calm! We are the Flying Feather Team, we can't let Master Little Gold Treasure down."

The little sparrow immediately puffed out its chest: "I want to stand in the first row!"

The crow glanced at it: "You're not even at the first rank, what are you doing standing in the first row?"

The little sparrow protested, "Though I am weak, my loyalty to the Demon Lord is unwavering!"

Not far away, the little wild boar's eyes lit up upon hearing the news, and it stammered, "The Demon Beast Tournament? Does that mean we have to bring offerings?"

The little fox looked at it warily: "What do you want?"

The little wild boar grunted, "I'm offering my treasured sweet potatoes to the Demon Lord."

The little fox sneered, "Are you sure it's not leftovers?"

The little wild boar immediately panicked: "Nonsense, I kept those for the winter!"

The little fox asked, "What month is it now?"

The little boar said, "Can't I prepare in advance?"

The little sparrow in the tree immediately shouted, "It's lying! It just stole half a basket of spirit grain yesterday!"

The little wild boar is innocent! It's all over; its innocence is gone.

Over at the Monkey Valley.

A group of red-eyed apes were also overjoyed. One little ape stood on a rock, mimicking Chu Zhou's tone, and said with his hands behind his back, "From this day forward, I..."

Before it could finish speaking, Shan Kui slapped it on the back of the head and cursed, "You 'I' my ass! That's something only the master can say!"

The little ape covered its head, looking aggrieved, and said, "I was just practicing my aura."

Shan Kui sneered, "With that effort, you might as well move a couple more stones. The Demon Beast Tournament is going to be held by Black Dragon Lake. Our Ape Valley is responsible for building the stone platform. Anyone who dares to slack off, I'll hang it on a tree to dry in the sun for a day."

A group of red-eyed apes immediately got to work, some moving stones, some chopping wood, and a few smaller apes secretly discussing something.

"Do you think the owner might prefer a larger stone platform?"

"Nonsense, the master is the demon lord, of course he has to be the biggest."

"Should we carve a lotus flower for the master?"

"Carve it! We must carve it!"

Upon hearing this, the mountain beast, unusually, did not reprimand it. Instead, it looked towards Black Dragon Lake, its eyes filled with fervor and awe.

The establishment of order by the master is a major event for the entire Black Dragon Mountain.

Underwater in Black Dragon Lake, Xuanjia also received the order.

Its enormous body slowly rose to the surface of the water, and a group of fish demons, turtle demons, shrimp and crab beasts all gathered around it.

A little carp asked softly, "Lord Xuanjia, can our aquatic race also participate in the Demon Beast Tournament?"

Xuanjia said in a deep voice, "Master said that all enlightened little demons may come."

The little carp demon got so excited that it thrashed its tail wildly.

An old turtle nearby said slowly, "Then we aquatic creatures can't go empty-handed."

A crab demon raised its pincers: "Shall we offer the spirit pearl?"

A shrimp demon whispered, "Isn't the Spirit Pearl guarded by Lord Xuanjia?"

The old tortoise glared at it: "Are you stupid? The master is the lord of Black Dragon Lake. The spirit pearl originally belonged to the master. Offering it to the master is called returning it to its rightful owner."

The little shrimp demon suddenly understood: "I get it, I get it!"

Xuanjia looked at the group of aquatic creatures and said in a deep voice, "Behave yourselves. The master is holding this meeting not to let you compete for favor, but to establish rules."

The aquatic creatures immediately lowered their heads: "Understood."

Although he said he understood, he was actually very excited. Meeting the Demon Lord was a tremendous opportunity.

In Spirit Spring Valley, the Black Tiger King stood on a high place, looking at a group of wolf demons, leopard demons, fox demons, deer demons, and rabbit demons gathered together, and said in a deep voice, "Listen up, all of you."

"Before the Demon Beast Tournament, who dares to fight recklessly, who dares to steal spiritual herbs, and who dares to leave the patrol area without permission?"

"I will tear it apart myself."

A group of strange beasts were so frightened that they immediately lowered their heads.

Black Tiger King continued, "Worshiping your master is acceptable, but you can't just shout slogans."

"Our master protects Black Dragon Mountain so that we can become stronger, not so that you can boast all day long. If you want to serve our master, you should first do what you are supposed to do."

The little fox immediately raised its paw: "Lord Black Tiger King, I'm reporting the little wild boar for stealing Spirit Valley!"

The little wild boar's face turned green: "Why did you report me again?"

The Black Tiger King's tiger eyes landed on the little wild boar.

The little wild boar's legs went weak, and it immediately lay down: "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I will never test poison for my master again."

The Black Tiger King was speechless. How could this little wild boar be so useless? It was really disgracing the Black Tiger King.

The little demons around almost burst out laughing.

The Black Tiger King coldly said, "You are punished by guarding the spirit field for three days."

The little wild boar breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness."

The little fox said quietly, "Guarding the spirit field, you can't eat it."

The little wild boar rolled its eyes, thinking it would be better to beat it up.
