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

Ye Ge stepped through the interdimensional portal and arrived at the Black Abyss Secret Realm.

Now, this place has undoubtedly become his exclusive domain.

Through the Demon Realm Tree, he could even sense all living beings within this realm!

It was truly a magical feeling.

......

Night Song arrived underground, before the Demon Tree.

To his surprise, the demon seed that had just sprouted and was only in its budding stage had now grown to a height of over twenty meters, resembling a mature, towering ancient banyan tree!

Dark red magic patterns shimmered faintly on the surface of the black tree, its gnarled and thick roots burrowing into the surrounding soil, and countless radiating branches completely filling the underground space.

However, Ye Ge knew that what she saw before her were merely the roots of these Demon Realm Trees! And the thing that beat slowly like a heart was now surrounded and entangled by dense tree roots.

"This is only just past its nascent stage..."

Ye Ge clicked his tongue, scratched his ear, and found it hard to imagine how big this thing would be in the future.

[Hint: The Demon Tree has entered its growth period]

[Current stage of the Demon Tree: Growth Period]

【Life: 50000/50000】

[Magic power: 10000/10000]

Soul Points: 1

【Growth period: 1. Possesses a certain degree of self-defense ability within the Black Abyss territory.

2. It can affect the ecology of the entire territory, creating more demonic plants and demonic spiritual energy.

3. Can give birth to demonic creatures (the types of demonic creatures given birth depend on the specific characteristics of the host that activates the demon seed)

Energy required to advance to the next stage: 0/50000

[Hint: The Demon Tree has entered its growth period and can undergo a gestation or evolution process.]

【请选择——】

【1. Give birth to a monster girl A】

[2. To give birth to a monster girl B]

[3. To give birth to a monster girl C]

[4. Giving birth to a monster girl D]

[5. Evolve the roots of the Demon Tree, granting it enhanced self-defense capabilities and making it more aggressive in attacking invading enemies.]

Night Song: "???"

Wait... why are there only monster girls?!?

Ye Ge looked at him strangely.

Evolving tree roots to gain stronger self-defense capabilities seems unnecessary for the time being.

Anyway, the Black Abyss Secret Realm is currently closed, so no other enemies will be able to enter for the time being.

If you don't choose to evolve, you'll just have to pick one from 1 to 4...

After thinking for a moment, Ye Ge chose [4].

[4. Giving birth to a monster girl D]

[In the process of development...]

[Cost: 1 Soul Point, 10000 Mana]

[Time remaining: 10 minutes...]

......

Ten minutes later.

A huge, deep red flower bud, connected by many roots of the Demon Realm Tree, suddenly trembled slightly.

"Ok?"

Ye Ge stood up from the ground: "Is it done?"

The enormous flower bud slowly bloomed and opened.

A dark red-haired demon woman appeared before him.

The woman had her head down, her eyes still closed, seemingly not fully awake. Her deep red hair was exceptionally long, hanging down from her head to the ground.

Her long, blood-red hair, as if it were algae, was connected to the deep red demonic flower that had given birth to her, like an umbilical cord, and seemed to still be slowly absorbing the remaining nutrients from the demonic flower.

Several seconds later, the woman slowly opened her eyes. Her appearance was exquisitely beautiful, mature and charming, an absolute beauty. Her heterochromatic eyes showed a hint of confusion: "Master?" (Picture)

Ye Ge thought to herself, "It seems this is no ordinary demonic creature. It can speak from birth, and it speaks human language."

"You speak human languages?"

Ye Ge stared at her and asked.

The spirit of calamity and the spirit of white blood emerged. One emerged from the black mist and landed on his shoulder, while the other poked its cat head out from his collar, curiously observing the beautiful red-haired demon sister in front of him.

The red-haired demon woman seemed not to be fully awake, her eyes half-open and her words fragmented as if in a dream: "I am... a product of the fusion of the cells of the Demon Tree... and my master's cells... I will learn my master's language and basic knowledge..."

"Hmm..." Ye Ge stroked his chin: "Then I'm yours... never mind..."

"By the way, what's your name?"

The red-haired demon woman paused, then slowly uttered two words: "Red... Kou (fourth tone)."

"Hongkou? Is that your name?"

"Yes."

Ye Ge pondered for a moment, then asked, "Hong Kou, what is your main ability?"

Hongkou answered slowly, "I am... a consciousness that split off from the Demon Tree... I can help you manage the entire Demon Realm, allowing the Demon Tree to grow and evolve more quickly... creating demon warriors for you... and my combat power will increase as the Demon Tree grows..."

"The Demon Realm?" Ye Ge was taken aback.

Hongkou said, "Yes... the ancient demon realm has been destroyed... but wherever the demon tree grows, a new demon realm will slowly form, slowly giving birth to new demonic life forms, and forming a new demon civilization..."

She paused, her brows furrowing slightly as if she were enduring some kind of pain, then continued, "Master, I have already transmitted to you the current sphere of influence that the entire Demon Realm can expand to..."

Ye Ge listened and opened his game system panel.

Sure enough, the system sent a new notification.

[The map of all races has been updated!]

Open a map.

A complete map of the entire Black Abyss Secret Realm appeared before him, including areas such as the Myriad Valleys, the Pure Spirit Pool, the Dark Twilight Forest, and the outer forests.

Hongkou said softly, "The Demon Tree will be the first to transform these areas, because these areas currently exist in the Black Abyss Secret Realm. It will take about three days for these places to be covered with Demon plants, and then the power of the Demon Realm will continue to expand."

“Continue to expand…” Ye Ge murmured again, then asked, “How to expand? By swallowing up the territories of other races on the map of all races?”

“No,” Hongkou replied, “The Demon Realm is not in the same dimension as the Myriad Races Continent of the Earth Realm. Rather, it is similar to the God Realm, expanding its space in another dimension... However, once our power grows, you can also lead the Demon race to invade the Earth Realm.”

One more chapter, it'll be later (I'm so busy today, sob sob sob...)
