I Became the Progenitor Vampire

Abyss Half-orcs in Half-Beast City knelt in submission, after which the Chaotic Army directly assimilated these ugly half-beasts.

Although they might be unsightly, they proved to be very effective cannon fodder, which allowed the total number of the Chaotic Army to reach the scale of 260,000.

Moreover, the level of all the troops was above 10, a force so powerful that it would absolutely terrify anyone on the Main Plane.

Level 10 in a large city like Green City might count as a skilled fighter, at least a heavyweight on a certain street, but in the Abyss, sorry, that's merely the bare minimum.

But sadly, those with combat power above level 15 numbered only a pitiful thirty or so, partly the higher echelons of the Enchanting Demons and partly the upper ranks of the half-beasts.

Among them, reaching level 19 were only the Naga Leader and the recently subdued Half-Beast Leader.

Compared to the huge base number, one could determine that the high-end combat power of the Abyss wasn't actually plentiful.

However, with Lide present, there currently wasn't too much of a problem with top-tier combat power.

The scale of 260,000 troops, combined with the combat power formed after reorganization, meant that the Gravel Plane, fundamentally a barren Plane, had no power to obstruct the advance of the Chaotic Army.

Time moved on to February 5th.

Under Lide's command, the integrated Chaotic Army began their sweep across the Gravel Plane. Tribe after tribe was steamrolled.

Under the deterrence of death, the number of Twilight Sect believers grew daily, and the actions of the Chaotic Army were decisive: those who did not worship Lide had only death as an option.

Under frenetic expansion, the numbers of the Chaotic Army began to skyrocket.

By February 15th, the Chaotic Army had occupied the giant gravel regions in the south, west, and the junction of both sides of the Gravel Plane.

All small tribes found within the occupied territory were conquered or annihilated by the Chaotic Army.

To this point, Lide had directly conquered nearly half of the Gravel Plane, and after repeated expansions, the number of the Chaotic Army had reached an astonishing 400,000.

The Double-Horned Demons, occupying the central region of the Gravel Plane, had also sensed the danger during the major movements of the Chaotic Army.

To cope with the expansion of the Chaotic Army, the Double-Horned Demons likewise began to extend their reach to the surrounding small tribes, enslaving large numbers of tribes wherever the Double-Horned Demon Army went.

The original number of 100,000 swelled to 250,000 in a short time, more than doubling.

This insignificant and barren Plane in the Abyss began to fall into the tense smoke of battle, just like countless other Planes.

Under Lide's will, in just a month and a half, the Gravel Plane went from a five-way standoff to a showdown between two powers.

Chaotic Army vs. Double-Horned Demon Army.

As for the Undead hidden in the Northern Rotten Land, these peculiar beings showed no sign of activity, as if the world-shattering wars outside had nothing to do with them.

Sensing the indifference of the Undead, both sides preparing for war also tacitly refrained from disturbing these evil beings.

Both contenders knew that their true enemy was each other; as for the Undead, they could wait to sweep across them after dealing with their opponent.

Time continued to turn, and by February 20th, the Chaotic Army, having finished reorganizing, began to assemble from all directions, their fearful sharp spears pointed directly at Double-Horned Demon territory.

The Double-Horned Demons, who had been watching the Chaotic Army, quickly noticed this change. The army prepared for battle, and countless enslaved demons and servants were driven to the front lines to serve as cannon fodder.

A titanic epic battle involving over 600,000 was about to unfold.

In this war, the victor's prize would be the entirety of the Gravel Plane.

The loser would become the stark white bones amongst the rubble, joining the countless corpses of Abyss Demons to sleep eternally.

Both sides headed into battle with absolute confidence in their victory.

Although the Double-Horned Demons had heard that the Chaotic Army had a deity at their helm, it was merely hearsay, and most people absolutely did not believe it.

If the other side truly had a deity, could they still be alive to this day?

What kind of existence was an Abyss Evil God? Butchering the entire Gravel Plane wouldn't even require much effort.

Therefore, the Double-Horned Demons were convinced that this was nothing more than a lie crafted by the Naga to shake their confidence.

For this, the Double-Horned Demons were highly disdainful and even went as far as to mock and scorn the Naga's actions.

Although the Double-Horned Demons didn't understand why the Naga Army could be so ferocious as to completely overcome the Enchanting Demons and the Abyss Half-Beasts, they didn't care.

As the most powerful force in the Gravel Plane, even if the Naga Army's numbers were nearly twice their own, the Double-Horned Demons still did not harbor the slightest fear.

Abyss Worms were actually the most numerous life forms in the Abyss. Yet, have those filthy creatures ever ruled the Abyss?

The Double-Horned Demons were ambitious, and the Chaotic Army was even more fanatical.

An army of 400,000, how terrifying it was.

The Believer System activated by Lide was practically fatal to those Abyss Races who had just pledged allegiance to the Twilight Sect.

Once they became believers of the Twilight Sect, they instantly gained a boost in strength. Even the most casual believers received a 1% attribute enhancement, causing those newly converted to ascend rapidly in their level of devotion.

After all, this was a tangible, substantial benefit, unlike other Evil Gods who required sacrifices to bestow their gifts—making the Twilight Sect simply too competitive.

The deepening of their faith drastically increased the formidable strength of this terrifying army, and their morale soared to an extreme. They were already eager to prove their devoutness to the Divine being they worshipped, seeking to use such means to receive even more power as a reward.

The air in the Gravel Plane was filled with a solemn and tense atmosphere.

On February 23, 400,000 soldiers of the Chaotic Army thrust their blades into the territory of the Double-Horned Demons.

Both armies faced off in the central region of the Gravel Plane.

The epic battle, orchestrated single-handedly by Lide, was on the brink of igniting.

The Double-Horned Demons, unlike the Abyss Half-Beasts, hadn't built cities but were in a very primitive tribal form with no walls whatsoever.

So this army, numbering 250,000, marched directly out onto the expansive gravel ground to confront the Chaotic Army from afar.

"Those Double-Horned Demons' blood is so delectable, this time I can drink to my heart's content..."

"I love the thrill of chopping off demon heads, it's truly intoxicating..."

"For His Highness's glory!"

The Chaotic Army had already entered an excited state with the Divine being above them and an absolute advantage in numbers. This was a battle they could not possibly lose.

Just before the battle was about to commence, Lide, radiating a dark glow and suspended high in the sky, surveyed the battleground several times. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he decided to do something that would drastically enhance the degree of belief—empower his subordinates with the Power of Faith.

This was something he had always wanted to do. Although the Chaotic Army was numerous, they lacked proper combat strength besides him.

400,000 people without even a single Extraordinary among them was pitifully inadequate.

This was undoubtedly a good opportunity to both boost his prestige and also intimidate the Double-Horned Demon Army.

As for whether or not the enemy might attack during this last-minute breakthrough... Once Divine Power began to emanate and rise, then try attacking if they dare.

His gaze swept below and, in a moment, Lide selected three individuals.

The first was the 19th Level Naga Leader—Oli Kabar. The second was the leader of the Abyss Half-Beasts, also at Level 19.

The last one was an extremely evil life form they happened upon while suppressing a small tribe—the Abyss Butcher.

Abyss Butchers were stitched-together life forms, these evil lives were creations by worshippers of a certain Evil God.

Chaotic, evil, brutal, strong—these were the hallmarks of the Abyss Butcher.

These terrifying creatures, standing 5 blades tall and weighing 3000 pounds, brandishing enlarged butcher knives, with green toxic corpse gas floating around them, constantly muttered blasphemous language that could pollute the soul with several stitched abnormal organs.

But what made Lide most interested was that this frightening stitched monster was actually from the Order Evil Camp.

He was completely indifferent to the lives of the Chaos Evil Camp, as no one could predict what those with deranged minds would do next.

He also held disdain for those conquered demons.

Lide, who harbored an intense desire for control, detested disorder and chaos because situations were difficult to control amidst chaos, especially when his subordinates were a horde of demons.

Thus, the three level 19s he had chosen this time all belonged to the Order Evil Camp.

Indeed, the leader who commanded the Abyss Half-orcs was also from the Order Evil Camp, vastly different from the ordinary Chaos Evil Abyss Half-orcs.

The appearance of the Half-Beast Leader made Lide realize that the alignments of the Abyss Race were not unchangeable; even within the same race, there could be a variety of alignment tendencies.

The knowledge of the Abyss within the Main Plane was far too scant. The tales told by wandering bards mostly recounted stories about those powerful Abyss Evil Gods, with little spread of the ordinary but significant underlying rules.

"I am the God of Twilight..."

As the blasphemous language of the Abyss echoed above the skies, everyone simultaneously looked up at the gloomy orb of light.

The next line made everyone's heart skip a beat.

"I have enslaved the Twelve-winged Angels of the Light Gods and personally slain the Abyss Evil Gods."

"Today, before conquering the Gravel Plane, I shall grant the most devout the power to break through to the Transcendent level."

"Today it is them, tomorrow it will be you who have earned merits."

A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples.

The demons of the 400,000-strong Chaotic Army below, upon hearing these words, showed deep longing in their eyes.

What does power represent in the Abyss? Everything!

Now, some of them had been blessed with the power of an Extraordinary Level.

That was Transcendent, a top-tier existence no matter which Plane one was in.

Even in the terrifying Abyss, where the map level was outrageously high, a Transcendent could still dominate.

After Lide's words fell, all his Aura Skills activated, and the Main God's Power surged like a raging storm, stirring up immense waves.

At that moment, the magnificent Divine Power was like a prison, the Star River swayed, and the sun and moon grew dim.

It seemed as if all the Planes of existence floated and sank beneath his feet, and the Abyss trembled with his every gesture, with mountains quaking.

Each time they felt that soul-penetrating oppression, the believers of the Chaotic Army couldn't help but feel how insignificant they were and how mighty their faith was.

Adoration, fanaticism.

Unlike the Chaotic Army, the Double-Horned Demon Army, far away by thousands of blades, felt as if a giant hand was gripping their necks, their madness replaced by fear.

Could there actually be a Divine?

Divine Power was not something ordinary life could contend with, it was an overwhelming force on a different level of existence, surpassing most skills in the world.

Even those two Extraordinary Level Double-Horned Demons felt like ants under a giant's feet, as if they could be crushed by that terrifying power at any moment.

Fear inevitably rose within the Double-Horned Demon Army.

The war had not yet started, but solely through a show of force, the army of more than 250,000 Double-Horned Demons was nearly collapsing.

The oppression emitted by Lide had clearly exceeded the limits of their imagination.

High-level demons often had absolute dominion over Low-level demons.

When facing Lide, who was like a natural disaster, the innate demonic nature of worshiping and submitting to the strong was now fully sparked.

The fearful yet yearning look in the Double-Horned Demons' eyes was the best proof.

Before the overwhelming pressure, like mountains crumbling and tsunamis surging, the army of the Double-Horned Demon Commander immediately began to show great disturbance.

Enslaved Low-level demons, unable to withstand the oppressive force, began to run madly backward, and if not for Demon Governors furiously lashing at those Low-level demons, just the pressure spread by Lide could have caused the army to collapse.

But what came next was even more shocking.

To maximize the effect, Lide, his silhouette emitting a gloomy light, floated to the central position of the tens of thousands in the Chaotic Army.

The Naga Leader, the Abyss Half-Beast Leader, and the Abyss Butcher, three terrifying Level 19 Abyss Lives were now being pulled into mid-air by his absolute strength.

In this open area, with an excellent field of vision, the Abyss Lives could clearly see everything that Lide was doing.

Under the overwhelming Divine Power, three groups of energy, emanating terrifying fluctuations, split from the gloomy light sphere beside Lide and then individually merged into the three Level 19 Evil God creatures.

Zzzzt~

After that power separately integrated into the Naga, Half-Beast, and Abyss Butcher, everyone sensed their aura climb directly from Level 19.

Bit by bit, they approached the peak that everyone was immensely eager to reach—stepping into the Transcendent.

Divine Arts—Faith Enhancement, could consume the Power of Faith to strengthen subordinates.

Elevating three Level 19s to Transcendent in one go, although it was only a one-level difference, the required energy consumption was by no means low.

Lide's greatest confidence came from—at this moment on the Twilight Sect panel, the number of his Believers had reached an astonishing 3.2 million.

That's right, without even counting the Dawn Sect Believers, just the Twilight Sect Believers alone had reached 3.2 million.

The 400,000 below in the Chaotic Army were all Twilight Sect Believers, and after several miracles were performed, coupled with the fact that becoming a pan-Believer could also receive the strength of the Believer System, this led to at least a Believer-level among these 400,000 Chaotic Army members.

Of course, the main force behind such a rapid increase in his Believers was still the Cave Dwellers of the Underworld.

Those lives that had never been given much attention, after being brought under the Dawn Sect's purview, had been consistently pillaged.

Recently, Twilight City traded with the Half-Elf Main City, and in just a short month, they received over 500,000 Cave Dwellers from the Half-Elves.

So, until this moment, the number of Cave Dweller Believers had reached a staggering 2.7 million...

The Cave Dwellers, a weak race that had never been taken seriously, renowned only for their digging, now this racial trait had become the Twilight Sect's greatest weapon.

With this exaggerated base number of Cave Dwellers, when added to other Dark Races, his total number of Believers reached 3.2 million.

The exaggerated number of Believers brought an impact that made the Power of Faith on Lide's attribute panel rise astronomically every day.

Now his Dark Faith Power had reached an unprecedented 1.7 million points.

And it has been less than two months since he activated the Twilight Godhood at the cost of 1 million Power of Faith.

Lide looked at the Power of Faith that was rapidly declining on his attribute panel, his facial expression was utterly calm, with food in hand, his heart was as steady as an old dog.

Having been poor for so long, Lide, who had often fantasized about having millions of Power of Faith to splurge, finally felt a bit of prosperity after years of effort.

Being rich was just so cool...

If it weren't for being in the Abyss, he would certainly prioritize boosting the strength of his old subordinates who had followed him through thick and thin.

It seemed like a long time since he had heard that chatty skeleton cursing...

And then there was Emi, who was researching the plague; who knows if his Subordinate God had come up with any powerful plague during these few months he was in the Abyss...

Huff, huff~

While Lide's thoughts were wandering, a significant upheaval occurred in the three beings in front of him.

The souls of these Evil beings were evolving into a higher level under the influence of the Power of Faith, and their bloodlines were also evolving.

And the Dark Faith Power on Lide's attribute panel was rapidly depleting with the transformation of the three individuals.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, a full two Sunshine Hours later.

When the 1.7 million Dark Faith Power was reduced to only 200,000, crack~ a sound like shattering glass echoed.

Then, at that moment, the momentum of the three Evil lives surged wildly, their pressuring aura sweeping across heaven and earth, that was the aura of a Transcendent.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes.

Naga, Half-Beasts, and the Abyss Butcher, monsters sewn together, these three had broken through to the Extraordinary.

The Chaotic Army below completely boiled over after seeing this scene.

"Above the Abyss, great god, did they really bestow upon them the Extraordinary power?!!"

"This, this, this is too shocking!!"

"Extraordinary, oh! The strength of our god is enough to make the Abyss pale!"

"Praise you, Great God of Twilight, to bask in your glory for all my life is my greatest honor!"

That was the Extraordinary!

Right before their eyes, the three individuals who mere moments ago were at level 19, had become such terrifying beings within just two Sunshine Hours!

The shock of witnessing this firsthand was far more powerful than any words could convey.

If Lide looked at his attribute panel at this moment, he would definitely find that after the recent events, over one-third of his followers had ascended directly to Devout Believers.

This wave of Faith harvesting wasn't bad.

The Chaotic Army was overjoyed, but the Double-Horned Demon Army felt as choked as if a fishbone had gotten stuck in their throat.

These demons had been full of confidence, only waiting for the war to start before crushing the Naga Army.

After all, their leaders were two powerful Extraordinary beings, and they occupied the Gravel Plane's core area relying on their Extraordinary combat power.

But now, under their watch, the opposing side had forcefully ascended three Extraordinary beings.

What the hell was this crap?!

The opposition outnumbered them by nearly double, and now even in high-end combat power, they couldn't compare.

That would have been bearable, bearable with gritted teeth, but most ridiculous and exaggerated was that within this damn Naga Army, there actually existed Divine beings!

How were they supposed to fight this??

The strength of the two sides wasn't even in the same league.

Leave alone three Extraordinaries, just the appearance of the Twilight God would spell their doom.

Fighting against a Divine was a battle with no chance of victory.

The previously high-spirited Double-Horned Demon Army now felt their legs soften one by one.

Demons might be brutal, bloodthirsty, chaotic, and evil, but they were certainly not foolish beings.

Their cunning, if anything, might even surpass that of Devils; it was just their inherently chaotic nature that made these creatures seem insane.

In the face of a hopeless war, their first thought would absolutely not be to fight to the death.

At this moment, in the rear of the Double-Horned Demon Army, two Extraordinary Two-Horned Demons, towering at four blades high with a pair of black horns on their heads marked with ring-shaped signs, their muscles looking as though they were cast from copper water, made the surrounding demons shiver in terror.

These two Extraordinary beings fell silent after sensing Lide's oppressing might.

Too terrifying, even separated by thousands of blades' distance, they could sense that suffocating oppression.

That was certainly not any ordinary Divine Power!

They had once seen an Evil God in an Abyss Plane, the being that commanded over ten million Abyss Demons, but even that aura wasn't as dreadful as that of the Divine presence before them.

This realization instantly reduced their will to resist to the limit.

How were they to fight this??

Engage in a tough battle against an invincible Divine??

Those brutal eyes were now filled with unspeakable despair.

Above the Chaotic Army at this moment,

Lide felt a surge of satisfaction as three individuals made their breakthrough to the Transcendent level, a smile spreading across his face.

Although it cost a total of 1.5 million Dark Faith Power, an average of 500,000 per person, which could only be described as extravagant, the gaining of three Transcendents was absolutely exhilarating.

This was about becoming Transcendent, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry. In the Main Plane, there were only a few within an entire province.

It was not just powerful— it was like having human-shaped nuclear bombs.

With three Transcendents in place, the Chaotic Army was now thoroughly stabilized.

Even if he had to leave the Abyss for a brief period, there was no need to worry about the newly established power being destroyed.

Lide was extremely satisfied with this.

It had been only a little over three months since his arrival in the Abyss, and in that short time, he had managed to muster an army of 400,000, with three Transcendents anchoring it.

This achievement had undeniably surpassed his expectations.

Or perhaps it was better to say that the Abyss map was just too advanced— even in a barren Plane, he was able to pull together an army of several hundred thousand above level 10.

In the Main Plane, this force could sweep across an entire province.

What was even more outrageous was that the Gravel Plane did not even span a fifth of the southern province's size and was considered one of the most barren types of Planes in the Abyss.

Now that he had elevated the strength of his subordinates, it was time to get down to business.

Conquering the Gravel Plane!

"Ye lowly Double-Horned Demons, I, the God of Twilight, command that from this day forth, the Gravel Plane shall belong to the Twilight Sect.

All who are my believers shall enjoy the most exalted rights upon this Plane.

All others, who exist within this Plane, shall be annihilated by my own hand!"

Like blasphemous language handed down from ancient times, overwhelming Divine Power pressed down, enveloping the sky.

The entire sky seemed to freeze at this moment.

Just as Lide was about to issue the attack command, suddenly, there was a commotion among the Double-Horned Demons. After a few breaths, two impressive Demons shot into the sky, powerfully flapping their wings.

Double-Horned Demons did not have wings, but those who reached the Transcendent level were granted Demon Wings— so these two were certainly Transcendent Demons.

Lide's eyes narrowed slightly. Although they were far away, he clearly made out their flight path.

Were these two Transcendents looking to challenge him to a duel?

A hint of amusement rose in his eyes. He hadn't yet slaughtered a Transcendent Demon...

However, just when the two Double-Horned Demons approached the Chaotic Army, they did something that left Lide completely stunned.

The two imposing Transcendent Demons, in front of tens of thousands, suddenly knelt down out of thin air, bowing their heads.

"Great God of Twilight, the Tekel Clan is willing to submit to you and hold you as our eternal faith..."

This...

Lide's mouth twitched— they surrendered just like that??

He had been preparing for so long, sharpening his blade, ready to test the Chaotic Army's combat strength after a few revisions in recent times.

Unexpectedly, these two were so easily frightened...

He had truly underestimated the deterrent power of a Divine being in the Abyss against ordinary Demons.

The Double-Horned Demons were only Middle-level Demons, merely existing on a barren Plane like Gravel Plane. They might seem strong, but in the Abyss, they were nothing, so insignificant that nobody would bother with them.

Under such circumstances, encountering a terrifying being that could instantly promote three Level 19 lives to the Transcendent and whose Divine Power was greater than any Evil God they had ever encountered was beyond Lide's imagination.

The pressure in their hearts was immense.

This was the Abyss, where defeat meant no one could survive.

Moreover, the key issue was that they did not possess the capability to oppose a powerful Divine being.

By contrast, Lide directly promoting his three subordinates to Transcendent was very tempting to them.

Those were Transcendents just like themselves, created with a mere wave of the hand.

How great had the risks they took been to break through to Transcendent? The comparison was simply unbearable.

Even more crucially, if they defected, would they receive the same treatment... or even be awarded the breakthrough to the level they had long dreamed of—Legendary.

The thought of this word made the Double-Horned Demons restless, as relying on the resources of the Gravel Plane to break through to Legendary was nearly impossible.

And venturing into other Abyss Planes would likely result in being hunted by beings that were Transcendent or even higher.

Thus, for the Double-Horned Demons, the chance of breaking through to Legendary was pitifully slim.

But if they defected to Lide, it might truly be possible to be granted the power to break through to Legendary.

Was it to resist hopelessly and then be cruelly destroyed, or to defect to the other side in order to gain greater power... When these two options were laid before them, both Double-Horned Demons chose the latter without hesitation.

To survive, to become stronger.

At this moment, all the Demon Armies below were eagerly watching Lide, while the air fell into a silent atmosphere.

Although the Double-Horned Demons surrendered, not all Evil Gods were willing to accept captives, and some brutal Evil Gods even delighted in slaughtering captives for amusement.

If Lide was unwilling to accept the submission of the Double-Horned Demons, the next moment would unleash a torrent of bloodshed.

Many demons were even sweating in their palms at this moment; they absolutely did not want to face an army led by a Divine being.

Lide's imposing presence had not yet receded, and the terrifying Divine Power surged like a vast ocean, billowing into the heavens. In this moment, the two Transcendent Demons shivered uncontrollably.

Just as he was about to speak, Lide didn't expect a system notification to sound.

"Ding~ The Double-Horned Demon Lord submits to you. Do you accept? Upon acceptance, you will gain the loyalty of the Tekel Double-Horned Demon clan. If refused, they will become your mortal enemy."

The sudden system prompt took Lide by surprise. Was there even a choice to make?

"Humble Tekel Clan, I accept your fealty. From this day forth, you shall become devotees of the Twilight Sect, my servants.

And I, in turn, will protect you."

"Ding~ You have obtained the submission of the Tekel Double-Horned Demon clan, and have now occupied two-thirds of the Plane. If you capture the entire Plane, you will receive the title of Plane Conqueror."

Hearing the system notification, Lide's expression was one of surprise. Plane Conqueror?

That title sounded cool. He wondered what the attributes would be like...

But that would have to wait until he had conquered the Undead to the North to activate it.

Hearing Lide's direct words, the two Transcendent Double-Horned Demons let out a huge sigh of relief, both able to see a glint of surprise in each other's eyes.

They had survived... What was more important was that they had also been accepted by this great Divine being.

Praise the Abyss, to be able to defect to such a powerful entity was truly the favor of the Goddess of Luck.

These two excited demons could never know that Lide, whom they considered to be as mighty as one could be, was just like them, still Transcendent... not even having broken through to Legendary.

As Lide's voice echoed across the sky, the Double-Horned Demons, who had already had their legs turn to jelly from facing the Divine Might, were immensely relieved.

Facing a life that could resist, demons were definitely the most vicious beings, but when facing an overwhelming evil force that they could not resist, these chaotic and disorderly evil lives often chose to surrender without hesitation.

Loyalty? No, such a thing did not exist in the Abyss, even the powerful Demon Lords ruled demons through force, not so-called loyalty...

Power, in this land, was everything.

The situation had developed to the point where the war had ended.

The surrender of the Double-Horned Demons hastily concluded the long-prepared war in a somewhat anticlimactic manner.

Although victorious, many in the Chaotic Army were dissatisfied with the swift surrender of the Double-Horned Demons.

These Demons had robbed them of the chance to accrue merits and receive rewards from Lide, which was intolerable.

"I swear, those idiotic Double-Horned Demons must have been scared shitless by his Majesty's Dignity! Even those filthy Abyss Worms aren't this weak!"

"They're a bunch of spineless slugs, the lot of them, damn it!"

"The Glory of our God shall live forever, who said these Double-Horned Demons were powerful? In the presence of our God, they can only kneel..."

"Damn it, if they had surrendered later, I would have been the one to receive the greatest merits and rewards from his Majesty!"

Contrary to the discontent of the Chaotic Army, the Double-Horned Demon Army became excited upon hearing they no longer had to oppose the Divine.

"This is truly a wise choice!"

"Praise the Abyss, the aura of the God of Twilight is truly shivering. Surrendering to such a powerful being is wonderful..."

"Do we also have Divine protection now?"

Worshipping power, surrendering to power, the eternal unwritten laws of the Abyss were on full display at this moment.

Lide, sensing the changes below, couldn't help but be rendered speechless; the Abyss was truly marvelous.

He glanced at the two Extraordinary Demons in the distance, "Follow me."

After speaking, he turned his attention to the three who had just broken through to extraordinary, still in a state of excitement and fervor.

"Oli, dispatch men to incorporate the Double-Horned Demon Army into the Chaotic Army, execute this immediately."

"Yes, your Majesty!!"

The Naga Leader Oli immediately took the command and went down.

The Order Evil Camp, for staying true to rules, had now become the enforcer of Lide's orders.

The nearly twenty thousand members of the Naga were staggering in size at the start, but now within the Chaotic Army, numbering over 400,000, they were hardly noticeable. All they could do was just that.

Lide, after waiting for the Naga Leader to issue the orders, also felt somewhat troubled.

Dawn City's army expansion had taken years to develop a suitable military system, yet now, in just a few short months, he had acquired a larger force than what Dawn City had built up over several years, making the management challenge indescribable.

Fortunately, Abyss Demons essentially required no management, relying entirely on Lide's immense deterrence and the Believer System. Otherwise, chaos would have ensued long ago.

Following the end of wartime confrontation, the army below immediately became a mess. Seeing this, Lide couldn't be bothered to intervene further and simply called the two Extraordinary Two-Horned Demons to a quiet place.

He hadn't forgotten his initial plan—find the portal back to the Main Plane. Ruling the Gravel Plane was merely a by-product of this plan.

As told by the Naga, there was a Teleportation Gate in the territory of the Double-Horned Demons that led to the 372nd Plane, ruled by the Black Scale Naga.

The Black Scale Naga, in turn, had opened a Space Gate with the Underworld's Naga City.

But when Lide had explained to the two Extraordinary Double-Horned Demons about the Main Plane and the Space Gate, the answer from the Demons left him completely astounded.

"Your Majesty, that ancient Teleportation Gate has an incredibly long history, it seems to be a structure left over from the last Battle of the Gods.

The other end of the Teleportation Gate is not fixed at the 372nd Plane; as long as you know the spatial coordinates and have sufficient energy, you can certainly open the gate to the Main Plane..."

Upon hearing this, Lide's immediate reaction was:

Can I finally leave this godforsaken place??
