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

Dark City.

Ye Ge and Bao Bingqing sat facing each other, drinking coffee.

"Currently, the savings value in our Deep Blue Bank has reached 530 billion Myriad Race Gold Coins."

Bao Bingqing, holding his coffee cup, said, "Our bank's high interest rates have attracted wealthy people from all over the world to deposit their gold coins with us. After all, the money they earn through investments is less than the interest we offer."

"But now we also face a major problem, which is that the interest we are going to pay is also a huge sum of money."

Ye Ge slowly sipped her black coffee.

He then said, "Don't worry, we'll earn this money back soon."

"By the way, where's Song Jie? Has he come back yet?"

"I am back!"

Song Jie appeared at just the right moment, pushing open the door from outside and coming to stand in front of the two of them.

"Boss, long time no see." Song Jie grinned, showing off his white teeth.

"You've gotten quite tanned," Ye Ge said with a smile. "How's things going?"

"Just as you predicted, boss," Song Jie said. "The various civilizations of the myriad races are indeed secretly researching their own systems. Recently, more and more people across the myriad races have been buying ion crystals, which means they are all imitating Deep Blue's chips."

Bao Bingqing looked at Ye Ge and said, "The Fallen Angel Clan has also been buying up Soul Steel and Black Crystals everywhere recently. During this period, the prices of these materials have been rising like crazy."

Ye Ge smiled and said, "They're doing this to reinforce the armor shell of the new sky battleship."

On the eve of war, the price of such important military supplies will definitely rise sharply.

In fact, if some smart people see these things going up in price, they can basically sense that war is brewing.

Bao Bingqing nodded.

He looked at Ye Ge with great admiration.

He didn't understand why Ye Ge seemed to be able to predict what the other person would do in the future every time.

Three or four years ago, Night Song had already instructed his Dark City to acquire ion crystals, purple phosphorus, soul steel, black crystals, and many other extraordinary materials throughout the myriad races' territory.

At that time, many of the materials were still very cheap.

However, it is an essential material for manufacturing the Deep Blue system nanochips.

Clearly, Lord Night Song had already foreseen that one day this technological marvel would be researched and copied, even before the Deep Blue System was even released several years ago.

“They are buying these to make weapons to fight against us humans,” Bao Bingqing said. “My lord, I’m actually thinking that since we control most of the resources now, why don’t we just not sell them to them?”

"If they don't produce weapons, those myriad races won't be confident of taking Kyoto smoothly, so they won't act rashly."

"In this way, we might be able to avoid a war."

Night Song chuckles softly.

"Who said I wanted to avoid war?"

Bao Bingqing was slightly taken aback.

"You think I made all these preparations because I fear the Eighth War of All Races."

Ye Ge gently placed the empty coffee cup on the table.

"The Ye family fears nothing more than war."

Ye Ge said, "However, as long as they dare to start a war, when it ends will not be up to them."

......

It was already evening when we returned from Dark City.

Yege returned to Kyoto.

As you enter the Royal Noble Hotel's estate and walk through the gardens...

Suddenly, he vaguely sensed something.

"Ok?"

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes and activated his mental vision.

This feeling is...

Demonic energy?

This feels so familiar...

They came for him after all.

"call--!"

Just then, he caught a flash of red light out of the corner of his eye! A ball of dark red fire suddenly attacked him from behind!

Ye Ge's eyes suddenly sharpened.

However, he didn't move his lower body at all, and casually waved his hand.

"Boom!" The black fireball was shattered by his slap.

Ye Ge curled her lip: "Such a low-level sneak attack..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt his feet become immobile.

His expression changed, and he looked down.

What had been a clear cement floor beneath his feet had suddenly transformed into a dark vortex of quicksand, drawing his legs deeper and deeper into it!

Ye Ge frowned, then looked up again.

I discovered that the surrounding environment has also changed!

The original garden has now been transformed into a scene of hellfire.

Lava burning with black flames was floating and swirling in the air.

It was incredibly hot, and the air was filled with fine, dark dust, making it very difficult to breathe.

Dark, earth, and fire attributes merged completely into one world, forming a terrifying hellish scene, like the inner core of a tornado.

"Illusion?"

Night songs are sung in silence.

wrong.

Having cultivated with Qinglong for over a thousand years, his mental strength now possesses strong resistance to illusions.

Illusions below the demigod level should not have any real effect on him.

So everything around us is real.

It was that black fireball from just now.

It turned out that it wasn't a sneak attack, but a medium that dragged him into a place like a barrier.

"But if you think you can trap me with such underhanded tricks, you're underestimating me."

Ye Ge let out a cold laugh.

His body suddenly transformed into a cloud of black mist, thus escaping the dark quicksand.

"Immortal Technique - Soul-Shattering Dragon Soaring!"

Ye Ge clasped his hands together with a "slap," and golden soul energy condensed on his body.

"Roar!"

A golden Eastern dragon flew out, sweeping away the surrounding gloom and demonic energy!

Ye Ge looked around.

"Alright, just show yourself." Ye Ge said expressionlessly, "Since you've already ambushed me here, what's the point of sneaking around in the shadows?"

"Hehehehehehehehe..." With a series of eerie laughs, a man in black finally stepped out.

He was masked, with only his eyes showing, so his face was not visible.

"Young Master of the Ye family." The man in black spoke in a strange tone, "You're quite capable indeed. No wonder you're the most talented demonic mutant in the Ye family's history of over a thousand years... I didn't expect you to have broken through to the ninth stage of the Asura Realm at such a young age. But could it be that you're just bloated and overweight?"

Ye Ge pursed her lips and said quietly, "Whether it's just bloating or not, you'll know once you try it yourself."

"I'm just worried that you, as the ruler of the Southern Territory, will lose face if I beat you to tears," the man in black said. "However, since you've made this request, I won't hold back. Hehehehehe..."

Night Song: "..."

The words fell.

Suddenly, the man in black unleashed demonic energy.

He raised his arms, crossing them, as if making a move.

The black demonic energy mingled with the red human soul energy.

Clearly, he is also a corrupted mutant!
