"My lord, we dragons have discussed the power you have bestowed upon us in private, and we estimate that it is only slightly stronger than the Abyss of Calamity. To attack the other seven cities, we will need even greater power."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"You want more magic?!"

Forcing himself to speak with an extremely cold tone, Abel lowered his head and said tremblingly, "My lord, to tell you the truth, this continent ruled by us demons is actually presided over by an even more powerful demon."

"The lord of the first city is the most powerful being on this continent. He possesses an incomparably powerful black treasure, and he alone can defeat seven city lords working together."

"The reason why the seven city lords were born is mainly because the first city lord said that this was in accordance with the rules of the black energy, and even he could not break these rules."

"But Your Majesty is one of the eight demon lords born from the black energy, and is naturally the master of this continent; the rules cannot restrict you."

"But each city lord is stronger than the last. We evil dragons have only received a meager amount of power from our lord and are simply no match for the other powerful demon city lords!"

Abel's words caused even God to fall into deep thought. He had previously used his magic to spy on this continent, and the city at its center indeed contained a power he could not fathom.

In that case, it would be good to give them a little more support.

Even God doesn't want to. He has to do it himself every time. So what if there are only eight city lords? Does he have to do it for every single one of them?

He was also focused on creating magic, and didn't have time to deal with the unification of the continent, so he left that to his demonic followers.

With this in mind, the god spoke calmly: "Alright."

"Seven days later, come to the East City, and I will bestow upon you even stronger demonic energy, making you powerful enough to defeat the city lords of other cities."

"If we still can't beat them after that, I'll take action myself."

Having said that, Shendu turned and left.

Abel kowtowed and said, "Respectfully seeing off the Lord."

After a moment, Abel slowly rose and ordered some of the high-ranking evil dragons of the former Huomu City to return to the East City and serve the capital.

After leaving the western city, the gods went to the northern and southern cities, and after giving instructions, returned to their original forms.

Sensing the dense black energy in the world, he began to absorb it, enhancing his own magical power.

"."

Time flies by in the blink of an eye.

Three days later, Shendu was still immersed in cultivation.

Many of the dragon's retinue returned to the palace in the eastern city to guard it.

Returning with them was an army of thousands of demons.

Over these three days, Huomu City remained unchanged, just as it always had.

Previously, due to the change of the master of Huomu City, humans were filled with fear and unease.

But three days of peace allowed them to recover.

It seems that the new ruler of Huomu City has not changed the regulations. As such, humanity will continue its life of suffering.

However, the task assigned by the gods to Xue'er—to find a human with exceptional talent and bring him back to their side—has encountered numerous unexpected problems.

The demon who had been baptized by the demonic energy of the capital, and the evil dragon that had transformed from it, knew whose mark was on Xue'er's forehead, so he stopped caring about it and did not tell the other demons that she was a member of the monarch's family.

Today, Xue'er, wielding a tracking magic item, unleashed countless flames, burning the more than one hundred demons who came to besiege her to ashes.

This matter was neither big nor small, and could even be ignored.

However, many demons were dissatisfied with the inaction of the higher-ups and went directly to a demon leader they had once respected.

Thus, this man, whose strength was neither strong nor weak and who ranked in the middle among the evil dragons, entered the palace on this day and came to the gate of the Divine Capital Palace.

He pushed open the door and entered, looking up at the capital city where people were still cultivating. He knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and said, "Reporting to my lord, I have important matters to report."

The moment he pushed open the door, Shen Du already knew. He opened his eyes leisurely and said calmly, "What is it?"

"My lord, your human followers have slaughtered nearly two hundred lesser demons."

"Oh." Shen Du heard this but didn't say anything, and waved him away.

But the dragon, pleaded with by the little demons, refused to back down and spoke: "My lord."

"No need to say anything, let her be."

"Moreover, if you dragons were to tell those ignorant little demons that she is my servant, would such an absurd thing happen?"

"You brought this trouble upon yourselves, and you still have the nerve to come to me? If you're so stubborn, I'd rather all these demons die!"

"A bunch of weak and foolish fools who can only bully the weak and fear the strong, serving as demons of Huomu City is simply because they have no other demons to use!"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Du angrily interrupted him. Seeing this, he could only lower his head and say, "Yes!"

He then bowed slightly and turned to leave the main hall.

Chapter 15 Yin-Yang Balance

As the dragon's retinue departed, the god murmured to himself.

She knew it when Xue'er used the tracking magic item to destroy the demon.

The destruction of the demon was also within his tacit approval.

But the fact that the demon from the East City had come to cause trouble for him was utterly useless.

The evil dragon followers in other regions, after seeing the monarch mark on Xue'er's forehead, will probably tell other uninformed demons

On the contrary, Dongcheng does nothing and is just like a rotten salted fish.

In the end, the matter came to his attention; he's truly useless.

However, it also reminded him of something.

That is, in three whole days, Xue'er estimated that she could travel all over Huomu City.

If she were to rely solely on a human body, she indeed wouldn't be able to travel to every corner of Huomu City in just three days.

However, the tracking magic item's function can release a red light, scanning at least a large area.

Furthermore, because of the Fire Lord's mark, Xue'er is not a weak human body; her own power is enough to defeat ordinary demons.

However, they could not defeat the dragon's retinue, simply because the physical constitutions of humans and demons were incomparable.

But now, it's almost the fourth day, and Xue'er still hasn't returned. What is she planning to do?

Thinking of this, Shendu closed his eyes slightly, mobilized the power of fire, and merged it into Xue'er's eyes.

Wherever he looked, Shendu saw a happy family gathered together and having dinner.

"Xue'er, what are you doing?"

Xue'er, who was about to pick up the meat with her chopsticks, suddenly paused, then stood up and walked towards the door.

Her parents and sister were puzzled, but didn't say much.

As soon as she stepped outside, Xue'er's soft knees instinctively knelt on the ground, and she said softly, "My lord, I am eating. Tomorrow, we will continue to search for the human who can make the tracking device open its eyes."

Upon hearing this, Shen Du said calmly, "Then why can that girl inside open the eyes of magical artifacts? Don't tell me you don't know."

After saying that, the talisman tracker hanging on Xue'er's waist opened five of the six dragon heads' eyes.

Clearly, her sister is the human with exceptional magical talent that even the gods are searching for.

Upon hearing this, Xue'er trembled violently and kowtowed, saying, "I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness. My sister is only a six-year-old child. I only wanted her to stay at home in peace."

“Hmm!” The phantom of the Divine Capital nodded slightly, and Leng Mang said, “If there are other humans in Huomu City who can make the Dragon Head open its eyes, your sister can stay at home. If not, take your sister back to the palace tomorrow.”

"Don't make me send someone to invite you; I won't be so easy to talk to then!"

Upon hearing this, Xue'er froze on the spot, at a loss for what to do.

Shen Du snorted coldly, and his divine soul returned to the palace.

After a long time, Xue'er shivered, facing the cold wind blowing from the north, feeling extremely desolate in her heart.

She searched for three whole days in Huomu City, but no one could make the magical artifact open its eyes.

But on the third day, when she returned home, her sister made the five dragon heads open their eyes, and at that moment her heart was torn apart.

Letting the dragon head open his eyes meant that she was going to take her sister to the devil's palace, where human slaves were everywhere.

Now, the monarch has instructed her to bring her sister back to the palace tomorrow.

"Oh, me, me, me!"

Xue'er was very sad, but she had no choice.

Their family couldn't leave Huomu City. The whole world was controlled by demons, and humanity couldn't escape their control. Fate was unfair, and they could only submit.

Like a zombie, he slowly turned and stepped into his home.

Looking up at her parents, Xue'er knelt down in anguish and told them what had happened.

Afterwards, the two did not say anything, but quietly returned to their room, emitting soft sobs.

Since Xue'er was taken away, the two of them were in great pain, but there was nothing they could do; such was the tragic fate of humanity in this era.

Now, their eldest daughter tells them that the lord of Huomu City has taken a liking to his youngest daughter.

How absurd it is to let their eldest daughter take their youngest daughter to the palace.

But it happened, and they couldn't resist it; they could only pray that they would see each other again in the future.

If Xue'er knew that the reason the gods were looking for humans was because they wanted her to learn magic and then create more magic, perhaps she would not be so tragic.

After all, if a god were to study magic alone, he could only study magic like dark energy, as righteous energy would reject him. But he had a human by his side who was studying righteous energy.

Shen Du had a great idea in his heart: chaos is divided into yin and yang, and yin and yang combine to form chaos.

Yin is black energy, and Yang is righteous energy. If he can comprehend the righteous energy and black energy, wouldn't he be able to combine yin and yang, similar to the immortals and demons practicing together in myths and legends? His strength will definitely increase greatly.

It’s a pity that Xue’er didn’t know. She didn’t know what the gods would do to her sister, but the fate of humans who entered that palace was extremely miserable and they would be enslaved for life.

Finally, she returned to her room in a state of mental disorder and gradually fell asleep.

"."

Inside the palace.

Shen Du opened his eyes, and a thick wisp of black energy appeared in his palm.
