Volume 4: The Rise of the Dragon Chapter 421: Split up and travel to the demon world
(Recently I have read a few novels written by Lan Jing. They really made me admire them. That is the real fantasy and magic type. It is much better than my half-hearted description. This is the gap. I recommend everyone to read it if you are interested. You can find quite a few of Azurite’s works by looking at them.)

Inisha felt very troubled by the two people in front of her. This was not because they were disobedient but because their words were so reasonable that no matter which choice she made, she felt that she had a high chance of success. However, the demon world is now very large and has just suffered a small-scale failure (in the eyes of real demons, the demonic forces in the world are just some demonized 'defective products', far inferior to the real ones). The demon army and the more regular wars in the demon world each have a scale of several million people, so they naturally don’t think that the demons in the human world are so huge.) It made those big shots who thought it would be easy to conquer the human world in advance became melancholy. Therefore, choosing the breakthrough point for the next war has become a very difficult decision.
Inisha is the eldest daughter of the current leader of the demon spirit clan. She was originally supposed to be the first heir to the demon spirit clan. However, since Inisha was talented and cold-tempered since childhood, she was not interested in power or fighting. Instead, she was obsessed with religion and cultivation. He is a typical example of being pure-hearted and reticent. Such demon spirits should have been born to be divine servants or even religious leaders. She had already become a demon lord when she was just a hundred years old. Her cultivation speed was unparalleled. It is said that the demon king Julien was even alerted to book her as the next saint.
Saint is not just a title or a false title but one of the true religious leaders. You must know that the powerful people in the demon world, in addition to those abyss lords who are willing to be controlled by the abyss consciousness and become vassals of the abyss forever, there are also more powerful demon gods and demon monarchs. Every demon in the Demonic Abyss has been imprinted in the soul by the laws of the abyss since birth. These imprints are of no use when the demon is weak. They can only prevent the demon's aura from concealing the identity of the demon. . But as the demon gradually grows and becomes stronger through constant fighting, devouring, and killing, this mark will grow stronger as the demon grows and gradually reveal some unique abilities, such as enhancing the demon's magic power, physique, regeneration speed, etc.
Until the devil reaches a certain stage of growth, he can realize this mark. At this time, the devil can have two choices: one is to completely integrate his mind with this mark and accept the transformation of the essence of the abyss, transforming himself into the most complete lord of the abyss. After the post-mark is fused with the mind and the essential power of the abyss, it will form the abyss brand unique to the abyss aristocrats. The devil who completely integrates the mark will become the most primitive abyss aristocrat.
The advantage of this is that this type of abyss lord can communicate with the abyss consciousness through the abyss brand to claim a territory of his own in the demon abyss. Of course, the size of the territory will vary depending on the strength of the abyss lord. In short, the more powerful the demon lord is, the larger the territory he will claim. However, the abyss consciousness does not have precise consciousness. It can only divide the size of the territory but cannot guarantee whether the territory is barren or rich. (The demon world is no different than the human world. The soul is the most important wealth. Even the universal currency is made of souls. So the so-called wealth in the demon world means that the more people and creatures there are, the more souls can be obtained; and the barrenness means barrenness. If there are only sporadic creatures in the land, there will naturally be fewer souls.)
Therefore, even a powerful abyss lord will inevitably be "given" a vast but barren territory by the abyss consciousness, while a relatively weak lord may obtain a small but rich territory. Of course, the gap here is not that big, because when demons are promoted to lords, their strength is at the same stage. At most, it is only the amount of accumulated energy. There is no qualitative difference, so the size of the territory finally given by the abyss will not be different. A lot of. In general, even the weakest lord will have about 2,000 acres of land at the beginning, while the strongest lord will only be given about 3,000 acres of land at the beginning, which is just one or two. The difference in square kilometers is not that big.
Moreover, the territory of the abyss lord did not fall out of thin air. Instead, the abyss consciousness imprinted a coordinate and mark on the consciousness of these newborn abyss lords. It contains the map and location of the given territory. When the abyss lord arrives, the coordinates are shown. After the territory, this mark will connect the soul of the abyss lord and part of the abyss plane core under this territory. After the two are connected, part of the soul essence of the demon lord will be fused with the core of the abyss plane in this territory to form a rough The virtual godhead allows the demon lord to have strong control over his territory. In this territory, as long as the abyss lord wants, he can make his power stronger, his speed faster, his spells more powerful, and even resurrect his subordinates, bless their status, even change the terrain, and create things from the soil, just like the gods in their own kingdom. His abilities are the same and his wishes come true. He is almost omnipotent.
Of course, just as gods need to consume the power of faith to cast magical spells and manipulate the Kingdom of God, all powerful abilities are accompanied by the consumption of huge amounts of energy. The more powerful spells and abilities consume more power, so even if it is an abyss Lords cannot make unlimited use of their abilities. But even so, the power of the abyss lords in their own territory is almost the same as that of real gods. This is why those powerful abyss lords often project themselves into other planes to spread their faith and establish themselves as gods, because they do have this condition.

But despite so many benefits, the demons who actually choose to become Pit Lords only account for a quarter of all demons who can be promoted, not all. This is because abyss consciousness is limited by its chaotic nature and shallow instinctive consciousness. When "doing things", it will never be completed smoothly and will always leave some big or small troubles. For example, when a demon is promoted to an abyss lord, the territory left for the abyss lord after the demon is transformed is often far away from the area where the abyss lord is located. Even if there are coordinates and maps in the soul to guide many abyss lords, it will take a long time to find them. Arrive at your destination. That's all. What's even more unlucky is that those guys whose territories are far away in other abyss planes may not be able to successfully reach their territories even if they search for thousands of years.
You must know that the devil world has never been a place for good men and women, especially the dangers of the abyss, which advocates the law of the jungle and the law of the jungle, is everywhere. Even powerful adult demons must beware of stronger demons because one of the laws of the abyss is "killing" The law is that when killing each other within the abyss, the winner can absorb part of the loser's power and become stronger. This also causes the weak to be preyed upon by the strong, and the strong may also be killed by the sinister and cunning weak. No amount of risk can stop those greedy people.
If an Abyss Lord is killed, the person who killed it can immediately absorb part of its power and even absorb the mark that can activate the territory to replace the Abyss Lord's status. Especially among all the promoted great demons, the abyss lords will not be given more power by the abyss because they can obtain the territory given by the abyss. This also makes those newly promoted abyss lords much weaker than demon lords of the same level. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Abyss Lord will be greatly reduced when it is not within its own territory. Many stronger demons like to hunt these "weak and immature" abyss lords to improve their strength. There are not a few abyss lords who die on the way to their territory every hundred years.
There are even some abyss lords who, after knowing that their territory is too far away from them and difficult to reach, would rather not "just seal it off" and choose to stay in a relatively safe place and wait until they become stronger before setting off. However, the abyssal consciousness is not a tolerant master. The period of "sealing" the abyss lord is not long. It only takes a mere one hundred years to automatically cancel the qualification of "sealing" the territory and becomes a wandering abyss lord. Compared to the almost infinite life of a demon, one hundred years is almost the same as one month for a mortal. Therefore, many abyss lords are either hunted by stronger ones on the road or fail to reach their territories within the time limit and ultimately fail.
Therefore, among the demons who become abyss lords, only those "lucky ones" whose territories are not far from themselves can finally gain a foothold and gradually become stronger. But there are more losers, and the vast majority of these losers will be gradually eliminated in the cruel abyss life, and only a handful can rise again. From a certain perspective, this is also part of the law of the jungle in the abyss, but it is more obscure and cruel. Because of this, many demons, although they knew that the Abyss Lord with their own territory would become very powerful, refused this tempting option because they were worried that they would not be able to "sealing" it smoothly.
In addition to choosing to become an abyss lord, you can also choose to become an ordinary demon lord. Although such demons have the title of lord and will gain more power than the lord of the abyss, they will not be directly given territory by the abyss. They can only obtain territory by occupying the territories of other demons. However, this is still restricted by the brand of the abyss and cannot be free. Lure in and out of the devil's realm. Of course, it is difficult for a single demon lord to defeat those lords with territories, but these demon lords will choose a simpler method - killing the abyss lords who have not yet reached the territory and plundering their territory marks. This not only reduces the risk but also provides opportunities. It is easier to obtain territory. Most of the deaths of junior abyss lords were caused by demon lords with these ideas.
Otherwise, simply reject the Abyss Brand and only keep the Abyss Mark and transform it into a demon lord to open up territories in other planes. Although you will lose a lot of the power given by the abyss, you will get a greater temptation in exchange. As long as you are lucky enough to find a plane or planet with a weak average strength and a large number of lives and souls, you can pass continuous sacrifices and It's possible to absorb souls and even become a demon god in one step.
But whether you choose to become an abyss lord, a demon lord, or a demon lord, if you want to succeed or even survive, in addition to strength, luck is more important. But the truly strong and smart people would never place their fate on ethereal luck, let alone a race like the devils that believed in strength. Therefore, among all the demons who can be promoted to lords, except for the quarter of demons who choose to become abyss lords, one-half will choose to become demon lords and the last quarter will choose to become demon lords.
After becoming a lord, demons can still continue to advance, but from now on there are two paths. The abyss lord chose to fuse his soul with the core of the abyss, so the larger the territory he can control, the stronger his power will be with every battle and killing. After occupying a territory, the abyss consciousness, which likes chaos and killing, will please the abyss consciousness. After occupying the new territory and making sacrifices, the abyss lord will be given the power of the abyss consciousness and gain the abyss consciousness's recognition of this new territory. Fighting - killing - conquering - fighting - killing - conquering in this cycle, the abyss lord is following a path of continuous expansion.
After occupying an entire abyss level, the abyss lord will be promoted to the demon lord and become the strongest person in this abyss plane. He will master more powerful demon power, which is equivalent to the powerful gods and immortals in the late stage; and when the demon lord occupies ten levels At the level of the abyss, it will be promoted to the Demon Lord, which is also the Abyss Demon King. It is equivalent to the projection of part of the abyss consciousness, and represents the embodiment of a certain power of the abyss. It has infinite power, no less than the ancient gods and golden immortals;
The Gluttonous Demon King Moloch and the Irritated Demon King Sameer are existences of this level. Each of them represents an extreme character in the sins of the abyss, and they can also be regarded as the incarnation of the abyss consciousness, but they still have self-awareness in normal times. However, although this state can have endless power and almost immortal life, it cannot move around at will. It can only separate the projection and a clone to go out, but the main body will always be bound to the abyss plane and will also be affected by the abyss consciousness. It is a kind of sadness to have lost a lot of temptation.
Many powerful demon lords and demon lords do not recognize this method of promotion. Although they desire powerful power and fear the abyss consciousness, they do not want to lose their temptation for this. Therefore, they choose to learn from their old opponents - trying every means to ignite the divine fire and condense the divine personality. Become a god! Demons are inherently creatures that are not inferior to the gods. As long as they have enough energy, it is not difficult to increase their power to a level close to that of gods. Moreover, after a demon becomes a demon lord, he can begin to understand the method of condensing divinity. After acquiring a territory and receiving the gift of the abyss to form a virtual godhead, the power in the territory will be infinitely close to that of a god, and he will also have a deep understanding of the mysteries of the godhead. With these conditions, as long as you obtain enough power of faith and soul origin, you can ignite the divine fire, condense the divine personality, and then become a god.
Of course, the gods that demons can become can only be demon gods. The power of the abyss is still an important way for them to obtain power, so most demon gods will build their kingdoms in the abyss or in a plane that can connect to the demon world. Although such a demon god does not have the backing of abyss consciousness, it can divide into many incarnations and projections to walk across the planes, and even its true body can move around. However, this is too dangerous, so almost no demon god will do it. Except for the strength attribute, everything else about the demon god is the same as other gods. Mecanshut is this kind of demon god. Even Julie Wei'an, the jealous demon among the Seven Demons of Hell, is this type of demon to a certain extent. However, this demon fell into the demon world along with Lucifer, the Lord of Hell and the Dark Demon, so strictly speaking It is not the evolution of demons that differentiates them from other demons.

Since the demon god is also a god, he naturally wants to recruit believers and establish sects to collect the power of faith to increase their strength. As descendants of demonized elves, the demon spirit clan still retains the characteristics of elves. All of them are handsome men and beautiful women. They are also proficient in charm and magic. In their beautiful appearance and With the increase in charm ability, it is easier to gain recognition from ordinary people, so he is the most suitable missionary member, and therefore he is favored by the demon king Julien.
As a leader among the demon spirits, Inisha is impeccable both in terms of strength and appearance. In everyone's mind, she is the designated saint of the sect. But an accident changed her fate.
