**Characters**
Chen Rui, Xingxing, Rummenigge, Monroe, Fini

Chen visits the Cloak Gang before traveling to Shadow Empire.

The Demon Realm respected the strong. Although Master Xingxing was still muttering with dissatisfaction, his volume was much lower. Skye was a Great Demon King, so he could better understand Chen Rui's dedication to strength. However, both top mechanical masters agreed that with Chen Rui's "aptitude". If he focused on mechanics, he would definitely become a three-specialization master that topped in the Demon Realm. There was hope for him to challenge the grand master realm that no one had achieved in the past 10,000 years.

With the night market, Cloak Magic Shop, and protection fees, Cloak Gang's source of income was currently quite stable, so Chen Rui could move to his next stop which was Dark Shadow's capital without worries.

## To Shadow Empire

Leia Town's garrisons were still strict. They were very careful in examining those going in and out. Chen Rui, who had become a Great Demon via Camouflage, had already prepared a suitable identity.

The certification of mechanic had to be officially obtained from the Mechanical Alliance of the three capitals. Chen Rui was currently a mechanic apprentice who was going to the Dark Shadow's capital to obtain certification. The apprentice's robe was obtained from Master Xingxing. It also had the corresponding badge of the Mechanical Alliance. The badge of a mechanic apprentice was a hollow star; mechanic was two solid stars; master's badge was two purple moons; some senior masters who had received special glory or recognition had a gold rim on the two moons.

Due to the vicious incident of the Scarlet Guards, Leia Town was now focusing on the east exit to the border with Red Spirit Estate. The south exit toward the Dark Moon was relatively loose. With that apprentice robe, Chen Rui passed easily.

Chen hears there is a mechanics competition in the capital, so he rents the last carriage to travel from Leia to the Shadow capital. Suddenly, three people shout to him: a middle aged man (Rummenigge), a young man (Monroe), and a young girl (Fini).

They also want to rent the carriage, so the girl proposes to ride together. In exchange they offer to pay and will tell Chen about the capital since it is his first time.

hydra, Chen Rui, Broc

Suddenly the two hydra appear from the ground and attacked Broc.

The truth was Chen Rui used <Analytical Eye> at the same time, and passed the knowledge of Broc's "bad deeds" to the hydras.

Last night, this silver-armored bastard schemed with the Wyvern King to steal the hydra eggs!

Last night, a great battle happened in the hydra's nest. The Wyvern King initiated an attack on the male hydra. Meanwhile, another pack of wyverns provoked the female hydra many times. The female hydra could not take it anymore and finally launched an attack. As the demonic beast at the top of the Silent Night Wetlands food chain, how could it stand the provocation of these weaker creature?

Then, at the moment the female hydra succeeded in asserting dominance, something terrible happened. That silver-armored bastard suddenly appeared and stole the eggs, then he fled the nest on the back of the Wyvern King.

Even though they killed a number of wyverns, losing the hydra eggs was an unforgivable mistake!

If not for the despicable Wyvern King circling the nest while holding a snake egg, the hydras would have taken revenge on the wyvern lair already. However, they had to save those three precious snake eggs first.

Chen Rui "revealed" to the hydras that not only did Broc steal the snake eggs last night, but he also committed other more awful deeds... When the female hydra finished listening to the words in Chen Rui's mind, it did not hold back. The hydra head right in the center opened its mouth and spat a green flame straight at the Wyvern King.

Chen Rui already learned of this move when he disguised as Broc to steal the snake eggs last night. The Wyvern King had long prepared for it; it beat its wings and avoided it.

Even though that bastard on the Wyvern King's back had a very suspicious energy, the culprit behind the stolen hydra eggs was right there in the air. What angered the two hydras further was that the silver-armored man's body was emitting a terrifying familiar smell!

Hydra eggs!

The hydra eggs that they treasured with their lives, really ended up the way the person on the Wyvern King's back said! They were destroyed by the silver-armored man!

The eighteen heads of the two hydras let out heart-wrenching howls in unison. Their voices were full of an indescribable rage. The female hydra had a long-range attack. Three of its heads could spit flames and venom. Instantly, venom and flames were spat in the airborne Broc's direction. Broc did not have a clue that the tent he destroyed previously contained one of the hydra eggs, and he did not know that the sticky liquid and shrapnel stuck to his body when the thunderball exploded was from the hydra egg.

Broc and the hydras fight each other. Broc then uses his powerful black territory move.

Royce, Arux

Royce then explains to Arux that Agulie is powerful, sharing a Symbiotic contract with the Poison Dragon and that 1 month ago Royce signed a Master-servant contract with master Agulie. Royce tries to convince Arux to shift allegiance from Joseph to Agulie.

Another devil fruit appeared in Chen Rui's hands. "I am not Joseph. My servants are my right-hand men that I can completely trust and depend on, and they are definitely not a sacrificial pawn that I would simply abandon. Arux, if you choose to trust me, then this fruit is yours."

Just as he predicted, Arux signed a master-servant contract with him. As of now, four people had signed contracts to become his servants, including Slee, Royce, Dodo and Arux. His symbiotic partner was Paglio. There was a total of five contracts. He did not know what the limit of the Super System was.

Chen Rui only had one more devil fruit left in hand. There were six devil fruits from Rainy Forest. Athena used two, Chen Rui tried one, and two were given to Arux and Royce respectively. However, the devil fruit tree in galaxy garden could be harvested again in about a month. Chen Rui clearly remembered the surprise on the poison dragon's face when he showed the devil fruit to Paglio. Unfortunately, it was ineffective on dragons.

Nevertheless, Paglio's surprise followed after that. Chen Rui gifted him four bottles of Eternal potions. Even though the poisonous dragon had already accustomed to the "miracles" of Chen Rui's body, it almost broke into tears when it received those four bottles of Eternal potions that no longer exist anymore. With the power of these four bottles of potions, as long as he could unlock <Lock of Light and Dark>, the poison dragon could still regain a part of its powers even if the ancient runes seal was still there. It was very likely that he could achieve Demon Emperor level.

Chen then visits the Cloak Gang. Didi reports increased membership from around 20 to over 200. Didi also opened a daigou shop and reveals that Jess has a teacher named Skye.

Didi also said the gang made some income from people 'turning in possessions' (i.e. stealing). However, this was not a long-term plan. Since he decided to "rely on" Joseph, the Cloak Gang was no longer a dispensable plaything, but an important pawn. The Cloak Gang must be reorganized. The function it would serve in the future was not small, but everything would only be decided after the meeting with Shea. Of course, with "Aguile's" identity.

George Wales, Chen Rui

They celebrate with drinks and hot pot.

George then departs for Warlock Fortress again.

Just the day before, her daughter also revealed to him her true strength that had been concealed by some magic item and skill – peak of Demon King! In other words, at the age of 20, she would become a Great Demon King!

A 20 year old Great Demon King! Besides, she didn't accept any inherited strength! Even among the royal family, this was an incredible miracle, not to mention she was a Great Demon! It had to be mentioned that when his daughter left Warlock Fortress 3 years ago, she was just an Intermediate Demon! Advancing 3 major realms in 3 years! This could be described as miracles!

After seeing the contents in the space bracelet, George finally understood why his daughter could advance so incredibly. Perhaps these items were just one of the reasons as a greater factor was on this mysterious guy who claimed to have the "grand master's" inheritance. With these things, along with the guidance of the dragon friend, advancing was almost certain.

En route, George smiled. He wasn't only the first general of the empire, but also an understanding person. He was even more so a father who loved his daughter most. No matter if it was the dragon, the devil fruit or the black potions, he knew what should be said and what shouldn't.

However, the father-in-law suddenly felt that he said something wrong previously. That human had potential: sooner or later, the name Chen Rui would echo across the Demon Realm!

Chen Rui, Paglio, Delia, Roman, Lombardo

But Paglio offers to train Delia and Roman so that Delia can get stronger to remove the Soul Shackles. There is no need to visit the Imperial Capital and draw attention for now.

Meanwhile, Chen disguised as Lavat travels back to the Mellon family estate to collect the Realm king fruit from Lombardo.

Chen Rui nodded, "By the way, your son... that ..."

"William." Lombardo immediately replied.

"How long has William been to the Bloody Empire?"

"It's been almost ten years. It was you who brought him there personally." Lombardo smiled pretentiously.

"......"

"..."

As they walked and talked, they soon returned to the study room. Soon, Chen Rui brought Cyprus and left the Northwest Block.

Lombardo originally planned to discuss with Ronald about disrupting Cloak Gang's night market. Ronald noticed that the patriarch hadn't summoned him long after "Lavat" had left, so Ronald went to the meeting room and saw the patriarch contemplating from afar.

He didn't receive any response after calling for a few times, and a bad feeling rose in his heart. He hurried forward to take a look and suddenly panicked. It turned out that the "contemplating" Lombardo had completely lost his lifeforce.

Lombardo dies.

Chen Rui, Moore, Tim

After returning the earth elemental heart, CR can no longer use earth magic, but reviving Moore was more important.

Moore repairs the Earth Palace. He says that CR's Bead (red dragon) comes from the water elementals. He also bestows the Elemental Blessing on CR.

The magic obtained by "chance" was Gravity. Although he did not get higher grade ones like Steel Protection, Destructive Shock Wave etc., he was quite satisfied. Anyway, his power was not relying on magic. At least receiving [Gravity] meant that he could continue to "pretend" to be from the Beelzebub Royal Family at certain specific times.

Meanwhile, the tauren were forging top rate equipment (with enhancements) that would surpass even the Mechanic Association. Now the tauren were making armor for the Medusa tribe. If they could make dragon armor for the wyverns, Fallen Angel would become a formidable military power.

After checking on Tim, CR heads back to Dark Moon City. The city's mobile population had increased 10 fold because of the Treasure incident. Fortunes have changed drastically, and Dark Moon was a prosperous state.

Cyprus, Chen Rui, Lombardo, Lavat

The number of puppets of the God-Eating Mask had increased by one. At present, there were two people. One of them was Snowden far away at the Red Spirit Estate and the other was Cyprus in front of him.

Puppet Control was an additional skill that gave complete control over the enemy's will, making it a puppet that couldn't betray. Thus, Cyprus said everything he knew.

Chen then visits the Mellon Family estate.

Aguile, Arux, Ryoce

Before Agulie kills Arux, Royce steps in.

Royce teleported into the arena and bowed slightly at Chen Rui, "Mr. Aguile, do you remember the scene when we met a month ago?"

"You're friends with Arux right? You saved me back then in hope that today's duel can proceed as planned. Perhaps you wanted to let your friend kill me personally, so it's definitely not an act of kindness." Chen Rui snorted coldly, "However, I did owe you one. So, I'll pay you back today!"

And so Arux's life was spared, and Chen became the new master of the Arena.

All the audience admired the strong, so they stood up together and cheered for the new strongest man in the arena.

Chen then visits Paglio on the wyverns from Silent Night Wetland. Chen tells Paglio about his encounter with Christina and how they traveled to Silent Night.

After 3 months, I plan to officially go there for treasure hunt. At that time, I'll first dispel the <Lock of Light and Dark>. Then, we'll find a way to cancel this symbiotic contract as I really don't want to pull you down with me."

"Are you sure she's a member of the Asmodeus Royal Family?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Nirvana's Blood! It must be the Nirvana's Blood!" The poison dragon's voice shivered due to excitement. "You truly are a lucky."

Christina's Nirvana Blood strengthened Chen and restored some of Paglio's lost lifespan via the Symbiotic contract with Chen.

Chen Rui, Shura

Dark Moon City, Northeast neighborhood.

The newly-built sheriff house had finally completed, and it could be regarded as Chen Rui's real home in the Dark Moon. However, Athena had no joy in moving to her new home. She was just silently watching Chen Rui lying in bed.

A month had passed, even for demons, it was difficult to withstand without eating or drinking. However, Chen Rui, a human, had been unconscious for a month. The voodoo that Isabella cast on him had long been crushed when the soul's power exploded.

Chen continues to battle his internal demon Shura. Another month passes, with Dark Moon surviving the famine and food sanctions, the Guards strengthening and reducing crime, and the Dark Moon's Night bustling.

Chen Rui shook his head, "Everyone has desires the moment that they are born and desire will continuously burn until life comes to an end. Desire is also the driving force for the advancement of civilization. Even saints and great individuals have desires. It's just like day and night. People have a dark side and also a positive side. As long as you can drive your own will and persistence, then the flame of desires will play the role of in forging and refining instead of burning and falling down."

Thousands of Shura roared as they surrounded him, wanting to merge with Chen Rui. Yet, their bodies could only penetrate through. Besides, each time they passed through Chen Rui's body, the Shuras' bodies quickly melted like snow facing a hot flame.

Chen then uses Aura Blade to slay the darkness in his heart and defeat Shura--for now at least.

Within the cries, thousands of Shuras' bodies were shining in bright, white light. They began to crack and finally turned into particles that completely shattered and disappeared.

At that moment, the Star Conversion progress bar in the Galaxy Divinity Temple had reached 100%, and a clear "*Ding!*" notification sounded.

The Experience Value in his status bar had also reached 100%.

The ashes that were about to disappear were suddenly ignited.

A black flame.

Accept your own weakness so that you can grow stronger...

Moore, Athena, Chen Rui

The Earth Elemental King uses the Ruby heart to heal Athena. She will awake in 10 days.

As for the God Devouring Mask, Chen Rui tried <Deep Analysis> in the past few days. He had improved the decoding progress of the "God-Eating Mask" to 3%. However, due to his limited mind power, he couldn't continuously perform <Deep Analysis>. It could only be used once a day to avoid side effects of exhaustion. His only hope now was the Evil Blue Tear that Royce was looking for at the Red Spirit Estate. Otherwise, the progress of decoding the God-Eating Mask would be slower than the progress of Star Conversion. It would still be game over that way.

Chen and the King talk about the mask. The King, who says his name is Moore, then gives his Elemental heart to Chen, trusting that Chen will help find the Requiem fruit and restore it within 1 year (or else Moore will return to the earth's lifestream). The heart also has the effect of increasing Chen's strength against the mask as well as tripling the growth rate of plants in the Galaxy Garden.

Christina then cries, seeing Chen injured, and heals his otherwise fatal injuries.

**Characters**
Broc, Chen Rui

Broc's appearance confirmed the speculation in Chen Rui's mind. Regardless of the Demon Shield or Blood River, these pranking tricks were just trivial. The actual thing that he had to think about was how to weaken the strength of the Crystal Valley or even create and expand internal disputes. By then, the joint efforts of inner and outer forces would naturally succeed in one try. Not only that, Chen Rui also had to find a way to rescue Kia's mother Freya and their Soul Shackles.

Chen needs to get stronger to do that, so he consumes the Realm king fruit. The fruit creates a burning sensation as it is only meant to be consumed by Demon Emperors or higher. However because of Soul Shackles, Chen is able to harness some of Manu's strength to digest the fruit. After experiencing flashbacks in the Human Realm, Chen once again meets Shura, who offers to 'fuse' with Chen in his consciousness.

Chen Rui, Roman

## Rescuing Roman

Chen used the stridebug to rush to Roman, who was screaming and in a weak spiritual state. Chen then gives him a tranquilizer potion to heal him.

After a long time, Roman finally recovers.

Roman then reveals that Isabella is his father's younger sister. Roman says that he came to Trevante to cultivate his Evil King Eye, an ancient Belphegor Family tradition.

Isabella agreed to tell Roman the whereabouts of Breeze Shadow Boots, provided that Roman had the power of Destroying Evil. Roman learned from Isabella that there was an evil eye's nest at the underground ruins of Trevante, so he came here.

Furthermore, if he could capture an Evil Eye (creature) and integrate it with his Evil King Eye, then he could potentially command a powerful army of Evil Eye creatures with just his left eye.

## Determination

"I'm not leaving." Roman shook his head firmly, "I don't have a mutated bloodline, and I don't have the magical inheritance like you. This is already the most effective shortcut. Moreover, before I fell into chaos, I had a vague enlightenment of the breakthrough. As long as I survive it, I can gain the power of [Destroying Evil]! I will never give up this opportunity even if I have to die!"

"You have only one life!" Chen Rui said angrily, "Do you want to make Delia sad?"

"You don't understand!" Roman was suddenly emotional as he punched the ground, "There are so many times where Delia woke up from a nightmare and shivered in my arms, and she could hardly bear the torture of Soul Shackles. It is extremely tormenting. Not only that, I also saw how my father suffered gravely from the [Soul Shackles] before he eventually died in front of me! I must kill Broc to remove Delia's [Soul Shackles] and avenge my father!"

Seeing Roman's rage, Chen Rui was silent for a while. He was not very clear about Delia and Roman's pain. Even Athena did not know about it. Roman looked like a rascal all day long while Delia seemed to be having a good time. In fact, compared with the previous Incubus, she was indeed a lot happier with him. However, the pain hidden behind her happiness might be even more aching.

Athena, Chen Rui, Tag

Athena reveals that Glorfin may still be alive since one of the characteristic skills of the Beelzebub Family was summoning Demon flies, which explains the presence of the large amounts of demon flies. Moreover, Glorfin could be manipulating the Earth Elemental King via the God-Eating Mask.

The "God-Eating Mask" must be the biggest key in controlling the Earth Elemental King. If they could remove the mask, it was likely that the Earth Elemental King would be able to escape being controlled. However, removing the mask must be quite difficult.

Chen Rui came up with the idea to capture one or two earth elementals that were being controlled and try to use <Aura Conversion> to return them to their original state, then learn more about the current situation in the Earth Realm before making specific plans for their next step.

Tag agreed with him and suggested that if Chen Rui could release the control of the Earth elemental people, it was better to capture Taug or Sog, who were also elite elementals, and then slowly release the control of all earth elementals.

To capture one of them alone, Delong and Tag were not enough. Queen Medusa must act at the same time.

Chen Rui thought about it and wrote a letter explaining the situations in detail, then asked the taurens to bring it to Tim in the Medusa's Lair.

Chen also helps convert some waste ore so that the Taurens can make metal weapons for the first time in a while. Doug, Chen, and the Taurens then search for more iron ore to prepare making metal weapons again.

Charles then makes Sulfur and Diak strip naked and pose in various positions. He records these with a memory crystal. Charles says that if Sulfur and Diak ever bother him again, he will mass distribute copies of the memory crystal throughout the empire.

"The intimate scenes of you two just now are all in this memory crystal." Chen Rui threw the crystal in his hand. "I can assume the matter today did not happen, but if I get to know that you dare to make any small movements behind my back, then this crystal will be copied into countless copies and distributed to every corner of the Fallen Angel Empire. If you want to be famous, you might as well try it."

Barnacle, Yach, Chen Rui

Barnacle reveals to Yach (Chen in disguise) that he wants to escape and defect to Blue Lava Estate, now that there will probably be no room anymore at Red Spirit State after the recent events.

Chen finds out that Blue Lava Estate was behind the secret force.

Chen then gives a bottle of 'wine' for Barnacle to drink.

Barnacle accepted it and opened the cork. Suddenly, his heart raced. Centaur loves wine, so it is normal for them to carry wine around. However, this bottle is made of porcelain instead of a portable leather bag. How did this centaur, who was running for his life, store this wine bottle in perfect condition? Could an ordinary centaur also own expensive storage equipment?

The wine bottle was filled with wine... and the poison dragon Paglio's strongest poison. An ordinary leather bags would not be able to hold it at all. Even this porcelain would corrode after a while, unless it was a magically enhanced high-grade medicine bottle used by pharmacists. Using that medicine bottle would be clearly telling the other person that this was a bottle of poison.

Barnacle's cautiousness exceeded Chen Rui's expectations. "Based on your power, you must be a Higher Demon. Otherwise, you definitely would not be able to dodge that strike." Barnacle's eyes flashed a glimpse of coldness. "This is not your true form. Is it necessary to continue disguise at this point?"

The Great Demon actually guessed it right. He really did use <Camouflage>, but this <Camouflage> form of expanding into a centaur was not suitable for combat. Therefore Chen Rui returned his body to its normal state, but he changed his face into another one. The other Chen Rui; the one with the ordinary otaku face living on earth.

For the first time, he appeared in the Demon Realm in this appearance.

They battle.

Although Chen Rui tested Barnacle's strong defense, he did not show the slightest hint of fear. He let out a shout and launched an attack. The power of a raging ocean surged out of his fist, one wave after another, unreservedly attacking Barnacle. Barnacle's defense was completely different from Culia's, who defended using his own body. His was a combination of strength and skill. While slashing his knife, even though it was more defense than offense, but he remained steady as a rock the entire time.

Barnacle was experiencing a different feeling. He felt that the power of this punch was like a raging wave which was boundless and surging. It passed through the scythe's parry, rushing wave after wave toward his body. Although it did not push him back, his feet had already sunken into the soil. Fortunately, he managed to knock back the opponent in time, otherwise the delayed effect might be even stronger.

Eventually, Chen flees on the horse to heal up, and Barnacle pursues him.

Aldas, Chen Rui, Athena, Sandro, Shelt

The prompt in Chen Rui's brain sounded, "Ready to start the Super System. It will be completed in twelve hours."

I still have to wait? What service quality is this!?

"The taste of this potion isn't that good. It's fishy and bitter. I suggest that you put more vinegar next time and add some ginger. They can get rid of the fishy taste." Chen Rui said seriously to the stunned Sandro.

The No. 1 genius potioneer of the empire; a genius potion master in practical meaning; the darling with thousands of glories, was actually defeated in this small place in the backcountry! He actually lost to this no-name dark elf!

However, the battle was not over. Earlier Chen boasted that Aldas could kill Sandro with just a poison fart. People wanted to see if this was true. So Chen got a vial and obtained a sample of Aldas' fart (to Aldas' reluctance and shame). Chen then mixed some chemicals with the vial and spat in it. All done, he jokingly called the final cocktail the '5000 Meter Scent' (十里香). Chen boasts that Aldas had not showered for 3 years, had not changed underwear, and had always eaten special Lala potatoes to give this scent its pungent odor. Chen offered the poison to Sandro, saying that if Sandro refused, he would have to kowtow 99 times.

The whole audience burst laughing, humiliating both Sandro and Aldas. Sandro hesitatingly downs the stinky potion, gets nausea, evaporates, and dies.

The whole stadium roars with applause at how Chen and Aldas from some back-county city defeated the most famous Alchemist of their time with a single fart. Their names were to go down in history, their legends to be told for generations.

Shea then hosts a banquet for all to celebrate the victory.

"Chen Rui." Athena walked over with Alice following at the side.

Athena was wearing a patterned red long dress today. It was quite fitting, giving people a completely distinct, amazing impression from the usual swordswoman. Alice was in a blue and white striped princess dress with a big bow at her front, fully exposing her cuteness. She attracted a lot of attention.

Chen and Athena laugh over how the potion could kill a dragon with its bad odor. Meanwhile, Alan looks at the two from the distance, face completely gloomy, drinking alone. Meanwhile, Joseph was chatting with Shelt (谢尔特) with a smile.

## Night market

Just the day after the Mellon Family succumbed, Cloak Gang launched their long-prepared night market: Dark Moon's Night (暗月之夜). The business is booming, especially at the newly popular hot pot store.

Two people arrive one night.

The man was strong and bulky while the woman was well-dressed and had a plump figure. There would usually be a very ordinary couple, but Chen Rui felt killing intention. In fact, a very strong killing intention toward Arux. Analytic Eyes showed that the races of both the man and woman were "Great Demon (Mutated)"; comprehensive strength assessment was C- and C.

Chen (Richard) defeats Casillas.

Without Roman's unhesitating trust, without Delia and Dodo's desperate distraction, just exerting Scorching Dragon Possession solely with his body's strength definitely could not have defeated Casillas. This victory did not belong to one person alone. It was a team effort.

Chen then uses Aurora Shot and Nirvana flame on Guladan.

Chen Rui, Moore

Using the Refining Room from his new Alioth state, Chen refines the Magic dust twice and gives it to the Earth Elemental King.

The shock in the Earth Elemental King's eyes grew stronger. "I can't believe it. The power of this dust seems to exceed the Earth Source! It must be able to perfectly repair the elemental heart. Now I have the fountain of life, the strange fruit and this dust, it is enough to extend my life. Thank you very much! My friend, I can guarantee that Athena's peaceful waking is only a matter of time."

Chen then swears to find the Requiem fruit. The King says:

"The mutation that occurred this time is very powerful. Although there is no threat to life, there is also the possibility of losing power. If you can find a rare crystal called Obsidian Heart, you can ensure that the mutation is 100% successful, and it can speed up her waking."

Chen says he needs to find the Requiem fruit and Obsidian heart aboveground, but needs to break the enchantment first. The king says he can break the seal.

Chen Rui, Aguile, Joseph Alvin

Battle Ball tournament takes place in the Coliseum. The stadium is packed, being full for the first time since the battle of Dark Moon 400 years ago. (See Demon Realm History)

The match is between the Garrison guards and Imperial guards. The garrison guards are leading 5-4.

Joseph watches the game with interest, shocked by how the guards have increased in strength, as well as how Dark Moon started doing business with the Shadow Empire Custer Family to alleviate the food sanctions.

Aguile then meets up with Joseph. Joseph had reached peak Demon King level. Joseph had fallen behind to Aguile, who was now at Great Demon King level.

Aguile proposes that Joseph becomes his spokesperson.

Aguile says he has 'intel' that because a certain human (Charles) that arrived, Kanita's income will exceed 1 million next month and would increase exponentially afterwards. If Joseph lets this happen, Joseph's biggest advantage--economic strength--will be eroded in the duel against Kanita for heir to Red Spirit.

Aguile says that Kanita already took that human to Red Spirit City to meet Josh to obtain a large investment. Moreover the human was Demon Emperor level.

"I think there is only one way to get rid of this dilemma now."

"What's the solution? Please tell me!" The words of his "ally" gave Joseph a little hope.

"The Red Spirit Lord collaborates with a spy from the human world. If the capital knows about this, it should be a crime that can't be ignored." The laughter behind the cloak sounded evil, "Even if the crime can be explained clearly, the benefits within will definitely not be exclusively enjoyed by Josh and Kanita. If 2 people share a bottle of wine, each person can get two glasses. If it is 20 people, then everyone cannot even get a small cup. Not to mention, the Regent Obsidian will definitely drink the most while you may be able to get a small cup too. Even if it is not shared with you, it is also a great merit. If you can get the recognition and support of Prince Obsidian, with your identity as the eldest son of the Red Spirit Lord, in the future... Anyway, if you can control the Red Spirit, it is also very beneficial to my plan."

Joseph's eyes became brighter and brighter, and a decision was finally made in his heart.

Chen Rui, Torre

"My friends, now we don't have to worry about the fountain of life being devoured by the crystals anymore." Chen Rui said, "I can provide about 100 basins of fountain water every day from now on. Is that enough?"

"100 basins? We don't need even need that much! That's awesome!" Delong couldn't conceal his happiness. "My friend, how did you do that?"

"It's just some kind of unique talent... If the crisis in the underground world can be completely solved, I can even restore the fountain of life to its original location." Chen Rui wasn't lying. He had tested on plants, and he could indeed transplant them back. It would just cost twice as much the aura. The prerequisite was that the place for transplantation must meet the needs for plant growth. Otherwise, the plant would die and it was the same for the water source.

"Your talent is truly amazing!" Torre and the other taurens looked extremely excited and cheered together. The fate of the tauren tribe changed once again because of this new friend.

Delong came over and said solemnly, "Friend, no matter if you can get the Eye of Sauron back, the underground tauren tribe will remember our friendship with you forever!"

Then then plan to join forces with Doug's friend Tag's rebel elemental forces.

## Nightfall

At night, Athena removes her body armor and sneaks up on a sleeping Chen. They kiss passionately, using tongue and all.

Then, they saw a tauren's figure appeared at the door. It was Torre.

Seeing Chen Rui and Athena with messy clothes, Torre asked in surprise, "Sorry! My friend, I hope I didn't interrupt your mating!"

Chen Rui almost choked to death by that sentence. Fortunately, Athena didn't have <Analytical Eyes>, so she didn't understand the meaning of that howl.

My tauren friend, you frankness is too speechless!

"This is an invitation." Isabella took out a golden magic poster and handed it to Chen Rui, "In six months, there will be a Potion Master Tournament in the capital that is held every 500 years. By then, many famous potion masters will participate. I believe that based on Aldas's dedication to pharmacy, he'll never miss this unprecedented tournament for academic exchange."

Isabella also invites Chen to meet her the next afternoon:

"Actually, I have some secret news to share with you today, such as... the situation of humans in the Demon Realm. These humans actually have a way to return to the world above ground!"

**Characters**
Sarado, Sergey, Alan, Isabella, Chen Rui

Sergey kills Alan. Salador commits suicide. Shea checks in on Chen, who wakes up.

Isabella thinks:

Although Alan has a mediocre aptitude, he is the only son of Legu and the heir of the Karon Family. The Demon Realm attaches the greatest importance to inheritance; while Doren Rus only has Sergey as the brightest son. He is a genius when he is only a teenager. His life is impossible to be traded with Alan's death. Moreover, this incident is caused by Alan himself, so he deserves it.

Yet, in this way, the Karon Family and the Rus family would become enemies forever. The finance minister and the most important general under Prince Obsidian would become enemies. It would be greatly detrimental to Obsidian's party. On the contrary, the indirect beneficiaries became the other two empires and even Shea, the Lord of Dark Moon in front of her.

Isabella was brilliant. She was suspecting something was fishy just now. However, judging from Salador's actions and Sergey's personal experience, this incident was clearly a conspiracy by Alan who was blinded by lust.

## Notes (spoiler)

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Chen used Puppet Control on Salador. Chen used Salador to attack Sergey. Chen then disguised himself as Alan so that Sergey would throw his sword. Under a smokescreen, Chen used the sword to kill Alan. Under Puppet Control, Salador then commits suicide. (Chapter 206, Sarado)

Agulie then says he will gift Joseph with a Devil Fruit in exchange for Ruby heart and Requiem fruit. Tempted, Joseph says the Ruby heart is at Red Spirit, but that he does not have the requiem fruit. So Chen asks for the Ruby Heart and Vasasha instead.

Chen Rui was interested in the Crossbow and learns about Tyke.

Tonk offers to be Richard's experimental subject if he helps save Tyke.

## Moling Town

Two days later, the three arrived at the destination, Moling Town. The scale of Moling Town surprised Chen Rui. The prosperity and atmosphere of this town were much better than Zhenya Town (真亚镇) on the west side of Dark Moon City. Since the town was an important bargaining chip in the rivalry against his elder brother, Joseph, the hard work that Kanita put into Moling Town could be imagined.

Chen Rui found a hotel and settled down. He then visits Snowden's house.

He learns that Kanita kidnapped Aldas' sister from Joseph. Ever since Joseph was putting all his effort in cultivating behind closed door, his Power Level finally broke through the bottleneck to become a Demon King-level powerhouse.

Chen Rui plans to rescue Aldas' sister from the prison. Snowden has a confidant Ivan (艾文) who works at the Secret prison. Also Samuel a human is the prison warden.

## Notes

1. ↑ The raws says 魔王 or Demon King (zh). Joseph was already Demon King in Chapter 174, so this could mean his power reached peak of Demon King level. Also note that power is slightly different from comprehensive strength assessment. One can have Great Demon King level power, but still overall be Demon King level. See Analytic Eyes for data parameters.
