Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Yan Ji made no attempt to hide the coldness and impatience in her eyes.

In fact, the four demon lords of the demon race did not have a good relationship with each other to begin with.

The four Demon Lords each ruled their own territory. They were the strongest among all the dark races, and although they were of the same race, they were also the biggest rivals.

Occasionally, there are even frictions between them, and civil wars are common in order to compete for resources and territory.

Only the Demon Lord can command them.

"I sense a human scent on you. Did you go to the Human Empire?" The Black Sun Demon Lord looked at her with great interest. "Was it for the Azure Dragon Treasure, or for the Deep Blue System?"

"This doesn't seem to concern you, does it?"

"I've heard that the demon scholars at your Demon Research Institute are working diligently to study all the Deep Blue chips released by Dark City and the Night Family on the market, hoping to replicate a system with similar functions to Deep Blue? That's a good idea, but it seems you haven't reported this to the Demon Lord?"

"Your information network is quite extensive." Yan Ji's tone was icy cold, a stark contrast to her fiery and beautiful appearance. "The Demon Lord is in seclusion. Who would dare disturb him? Is this all you wanted to say?"

"I didn't mean anything by it," Black Sun said calmly. "Just a friendly reminder, you'd better not underestimate that Night Song from the human race. Be careful that your actions don't bring annihilation to the demon race."

"Hmm?" Yan Ji really didn't expect Hei Ri to say such a thing.

In her memory, Black Sun could be considered the most arrogant and conceited of the four demon lords. Of course, he had the right to be arrogant. With the strength of a demon descendant at the Soul Emperor realm, coupled with the powerful forces of the demon race, he could almost look down on all living beings in the entire map of myriad races.

Humanity is such a small, weak, and short-lived race with a civilization history of only tens of thousands of years that Black Sun has never taken them seriously.

How could someone say something like that today?

"Heh... Interesting. What's wrong with the usually arrogant Black Sun Demon Lord today?"

Yan Ji showed some curiosity: "You actually reminded me to be careful of a short-lived boy whose race is human?"

Moreover, what he said was extremely serious.

Will it bring annihilation to the demon race?

Just a human boy from the Myriad Manifestations Realm?

Hei Ri did not respond; his eyes and expression were unusually serious.

He thought of the Darkin Sword Demon he had seen in Dark City that day...

How could those ancient pure-blooded Darkin warriors, who were supposed to be extinct, reappear?

That guy's demon bloodline was so pure that I couldn't sense his strength at all!

After that visit to Dark City, Black Sun personally conducted a very thorough investigation of the human boy, Night Song.

He was certain that there was a deep secret hidden behind this boy!

The relationship between Night Song and Dark City is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface—it's just a cooperative relationship!

"It was just a well-intentioned reminder," Black Sun said casually, "although I don't think you'll heed my advice."

This is true.

Yan Ji gave a soft snort, her icy expression remaining unchanged.

She turned and left, her bright red dress swaying gracefully with her movements.

Black Sun watched Flame Princess disappear from his sight and let out a soft hum.

"You'll understand what I mean when you experience the consequences..."

......

a few days later.

Ye Ge sat cross-legged on her bed in her room, her eyes slightly closed, her two fingers touching her brow.

In his room, six mysterious figures dressed in black robes and wearing masks of various colors stood before him.

In Ye Ge's mind, there exists an interface similar to a "game character selection panel".

[Currently, you can control an additional 7 character units]

[Character 1: Brian. Race: Vampire. Level: First Stage of Apocalypse Realm. Attributes: ...]

[Current character level-up required: 141330/1000000]

[Character 2: The Old Mage (Well, for ease of remembering, we'll call him the Old Mage). Race: Human. Class: Space Mage. Level: Ninth Stage of the Myriad Realms. Attributes: ...]

[Current character level-up required: 775/160000]

[Character 3: Guan Bu. Race: Human. Class: Heavy Blade Warrior, Psychic. Level: Second Stage of Apocalypse Realm. Attributes: ......]

[Current character level-up required: 600467/1200000]

[Character 4: Theon. Race: Human. Class: Swordsman, Support. Level: Second Stage of Apocalypse Realm. Attributes: ...]

[Current character level-up required: 766/1200000]

[Character 5: ......]

[Character 6: ......]

[Character 7: ......]

These black-robed, masked figures were bodies that Nightsong had collected over the past eight years using Brian's Soul Exile technique.

If outsiders were to see their true faces, they would be astonished, for these people were originally top geniuses with exceptional talent from various sects and guilds among the human race! However, they disappeared without a trace and have never been seen again.

The reason is that they served Long Hai for the first eight years, attempting to oppose the Ye family and blocking Ye Ge's path forward.

And then... they became part of Night Song's collection...

In fact, there were far more than just these few people who stood in Ye Ge's way between the ages of ten and eighteen. It's just that only these few people's talents were recognized by Ye Ge, and they were fortunate enough to become one of the characters on Ye Ge's "game character panel".

The Demon Realm Tree currently has 4103 distributable normal experience points.

[Currently available Darkin experience points on the Demon Tree: 6]

Night Song chose to allocate normal experience.

After some consideration, he divided the experience equally among the seven men in black robes.

[Character 1, Brian, has leveled up! Current level: Apocalypse Realm Stage 5.]

[Character 2 - The Old Mage has leveled up! Current level: Asura Realm, Stage 9.]

[Character 3 - Guan Bu has been upgraded! Current level: Stage 5 of the Apocalypse Realm.]

[Character 4...]

Night Song distributed all of the more than 40 million ordinary experience points he had accumulated at once.

Apart from the old mage, the strength of the other black-robed men had all been raised to the fifth level of the Heavenly Revelation Realm!

The old monk was a special case.

Although he possesses SSS-level magic talent, Night Song generally doesn't use him in battle.

They are generally used as tools for spatial teleportation.

Moreover, the old mage possesses a secret weapon—Soul Detonation!

Forbidden Magic: Soul Detonation

[Quality: Gold]

[Restriction: Can only be learned and used by players with SSS-level (80+) magical learning ability]

[Effect: The mage's MP will be instantly restored to full, and all MP will be converted into soul energy, detonating themselves and releasing it in all directions.]

[Power: MP x1000]

This move is a skill that Ye Ge obtained from a lucky blind box.

However, Night Song definitely won't use this move herself.

It can only be used by his other clones.

Ye Ge thought to himself, with the old mage's current strength at the ninth level of the Asura Realm, if he were to use this move, he would probably instantly kill any extraordinary person below the fifth level of the Saint Realm.

However, Nightsong is actually a little reluctant to actually detonate the old mage.

After all, he is a rare space-type mage. Without him, there will be no one to open a spatial portal if you want to go anywhere, which is quite troublesome.

Therefore, Yege will not easily use this move unless absolutely necessary.

Ye Ge thought to himself, "Now it's not just the dark races; all races are becoming increasingly aware of the Azure Dragon's intentions."

It is obvious that someone is deliberately spreading news about the Azure Dragon among the myriad races.

Therefore, he must be prepared.

Ye Ge looked at the seven clones in front of him and couldn't help but smile.

The alt account is at a higher level than the main account, who can complain about that?

"Oh right, speaking of which, I feel like I've forgotten something..."

"Oh right..."

Night Song opened the system's communication panel.

【夜歌：哈啰，小缨缨，在干嘛呢？(?6?1?6?2?6?2?6?1)】

After a few minutes.

A reply came back.

[Long Ying: ......]

[Long Ying: Hmph! (`へ?0?7≠)]

[Night Song: ?]

[Notification: You have been blacklisted by the other party; message delivery failed]

Night Song: "..."

Ye Ge scratched his cheek.

It seems that the Empress is still angry because he promised Long Ying that he would go to the palace to see her last night, but he stood her up and didn't keep the appointment.

emmmmmm......

Ye Ge gave a wry smile. The once highly regarded genius girl in the royal family, now the peerless and high-ranking human empress, actually had such a childlike side. Who would believe it if this were told?

Or...should we go and try to appease her now?

【Didi Didi】

[Gao Shenxue: Come to the research institute, I have something to show you.]

[Night Song: Okay.]

Night Song closed the chat panel.

Never mind, I'll try to coax her next time.

As a mature empress, she should learn to comfort herself.

......

Ye Family Extraordinary Research Institute.

Gao Shenxue, Yu Li, and a group of top researchers from the Ye family are in this research lab.

Everyone is working in an orderly manner.

Those who are here are all the most outstanding and talented extraordinary scientists among the human race.

Almost all of humanity's top scholars consider it an honor to be able to enter the Night Family Research Institute.

The weapons, equipment, potions, items, and Deep Blue System released by Dark City were all researched and improved here by the research and development team led by Gao Shenxue and Yu Li.

Everyone here knows the secrets of the Deep Blue System, so they have all signed a soul contract with the Night Family to ensure that the secrets are never leaked.

Today, DeepBlue's users are spread across all races, and these researchers naturally also take on the responsibility of operating DeepBlue, ensuring that DeepBlue does not experience any unexpected malfunctions.

After a while, Night Song arrived.

The metal gate of the research institute slowly opened, and Ye Ge walked in.

"Lord Ye Ge!"

The research staff bowed and greeted them.

Judging from their eyes, they all genuinely respected Ye Ge.

Because they were the closest to the secrets of the Deep Blue System and those magical weapons, they had even greater admiration for Nightsong, the eighteen-year-old ruler of the Southern Territory!

"Xue'er, Xiao Li, how are you?"

Night Song walked over.

Gao Shenxue pressed a button on the workbench, bringing up a screen on the main screen of the research institute.

"This is the information we detected last time about the Soul Emperor Realm Demon Lord."

Ye Ge looked at the information on the screen.

【Name: Flame Princess】

[Race: Demon Race]

[Level: Soul Emperor Realm, Stage 3]

[Position: One of the Four Demon Lords of the Demon Race]

【property:......】

“In the past few days, this Demon Lord has entered and exited our human territory five times.”

Yu Li said with some worry, "Although she didn't do anything each time, no watchman or detection device other than the system could detect her presence."

The strength of a Soul Emperor is simply too overwhelming for the human race.

Aside from the system's location tracking, there's absolutely no way anyone could discover her existence.

"Five more times already?"

Night Song pondered, "What was her route? Where did this demon woman go?"

Takayuki said, "Basically, I was active in the Kyoto and southern areas. Once, I even entered the territory of Night City, stayed for about half an hour, and then left."

Night Song: "Is that so...?"

He looked at the route shown on the map on the institute's main screen.

It appears that this demon woman has been observing the human territory.

A young researcher wearing glasses said, "Lord Night Song, this Flame Demon Lord is freely entering and leaving our human territory. She might be testing our defense system to see if she can be detected. If we don't react at all, she might start acting recklessly! Should we send her two missiles as a warning?"

Ye Ge glanced at him indifferently: "Even if she really starts acting recklessly now, can you stop her?"

The bespectacled young man: "This..."

Ye Ge pondered calmly.

With humanity's current strength, it is extremely difficult to fight back against a transcendent powerhouse at the Soul Emperor realm.

Let alone the Soul Emperor Realm, even for the Saint Realm, it would be extremely troublesome to launch an attack using the magical energy technology weapons currently controlled by the Ye family.

Should we bomb them with magic explosive missiles?

Admittedly, if there are enough magic explosion missiles, after locking onto the target with the Eye of the Sky, a large-scale, all-round saturation attack can be launched, directly blocking all the enemy's evasive angles. With large-scale bombardment, it is indeed possible to kill a Saint Realm expert.

But that's just nonsense. If there's enough quantity, what can't be done?

A simple fireball spell, if it has enough energy, could theoretically engulf the entire Earth.

The problem is that if tens of thousands of magic explosion missiles are used every time just to kill a Saint Realm expert, it is really extravagant. Even if the Ye family is now very wealthy, they absolutely cannot afford it.

Moreover, what if the enemy moves to a densely populated city? You can't just launch tens of thousands of missiles and bomb everything, friend or foe alike, can you?

Ye Ge can now control seven clones, and with his god-level weapon, the revolver, dealing with a Saint Realm expert wouldn't be a problem if he took action himself.

But the main general is there to provide a safety net, not to charge into battle.

Currently, the magic-powered weapons must be further enhanced and upgraded!
