The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

South of the Sun Step Mountain Range, at the edge of the dense forest, the ruins of Assam City stand silently in the center of the tranquil Holy Lake.

This place was once the heart of the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom, but now only fragmentary walls and debris remain.

In the center of those ruins, a newly built granite temple rises from the ground, with players bustling on the square in front of it, taking on tasks.

Seeing the Demon King suddenly appear at the temple's entrance, the players showed expressions of surprise, whispering among themselves.

"What's this guy doing here?"

"Is there another new expansion coming?"

Some players became eager to try their luck.

Everyone knows that where the Demon King appears, trouble follows, but that's exactly what they were waiting for!

Unlike the players, the acolytes and guards standing at the temple's entrance slightly nodded, their faces full of piety.

Luo Yan nodded back at them, indicating that they need not be overly polite, then turned his gaze towards the simple yet imposing temple in front of him.

The entire structure was assembled from remnants of the temple dedicated to Dragon God Gu Tafu, taking a total of half a month to construct. Although it looked rather rough from any angle, it was more than adequate as a place of worship that gathers faith.

"Wait for me here."

Luo Yan softly whispered, signaling Sarah, who was holding Taufu, to wait where she was, then stepped into the temple that belonged to him.

In the temple's hall stood a ferocious statue of an evil dragon, seemingly dedicated to the Dragon God, but in truth, it was just a gatekeeping mount.

In a secret chamber directly below the hall, the true deity statue was worshipped!

The stone statue had sharp edges and an authoritative demeanor, with facial features nine-tenths similar to Luo Yan's, only short of a bit more handsome and cultured air.

Though its mouth was shut, it emitted an invisible pressure—

That was the weight of faith!

During the process of shattering the Great Barrier and bringing Gana Continent back to the Main World, countless Lizardmen, out of fear, admiration, and submission, poured their faith into the name of the "Demon King."

Those forces of faith were not wasted; they gathered above Assam City, and in the prayers of the acolytes, were absorbed by this statue, residing in this new sanctuary encircled by ruins—awaiting the return of its master.

Now.

He has come.

"Go ahead." Luo Yan said softly.

The White Mist within him slowly surfaced, and Youyou's body transformed into a milky white stream of light, like a soul shedding its shell, piercing through the air, and rushing towards the statue.

At that moment, the statue trembled.

Invisible ripples spread, and the densely concentrated power of faith poured out like a tide, being voraciously absorbed by Youyou. Its body rapidly expanded, its outline blurred yet increasingly luminous, as if transforming into a new moon on the rise.

—Until everything returned to calm.

Luo Yan's gaze focused on Youyou.

He discovered.

He could finally see it.

Even without a mirror!

A satisfied Youyou returned to Luo Yan's side, gently winding around his arm, like a satiated little beast, contentedly burping.

"Huff... it was really delicious," it lazily said, "Hehe, the taste of the Demon King is quite nice."

Luo Yan: "..."

The complexity of this statement made it hard to discern from whom this fellow learned it.

However, Luo Yan had no time to chat with it, busy confirming his own gains.

Closing his eyes, his consciousness rapidly descended, soon entering the Sea of Consciousness.

And it was at this moment that a surprising scene occurred.

His Sea of Consciousness, originally a pitch-black, silent void, was now adorned with countless points of light within its profound darkness.

Like a universe full of stars!

Those points of light floated quietly, each one containing a familiar aura: Qianqian, Sarah, Octo, Alakdo, Bond, Lumier... including those souls he had elevated with the power of faith, and those who genuinely offered their faith to him!

Among them were players, humans, Lizardmen, Little Demons, Dark Night Elves, even Stone People, Mole People, Undead, and more!

Luo Yan's eyes reflected amazement and even astonishment, momentarily left speechless by the brilliance of this starry Sea of Consciousness.

It took him a while before words escaped his lips.

"Unbelievable…"

These… are all my followers?

But why have they appeared here?

Luo Yan reached out, trying to touch those points of light, only to find his hand passing through them without touching anything.

Yet, even if his consciousness couldn't make contact, he could still feel their undeniable presence in this void of consciousness, as well as the link connecting him to them!

Luo Yan was shocked.

"Hehe… Lord Demon King, isn't it surprising?" The milky white mist floated by Luo Yan's side, and Youyou's voice drifted from within.

Luo Yan nodded, casting his gaze toward his Divine status.

"What on earth happened? Where did that… stele go?"

He noticed that the changes were not limited to the luminous points in the depths of the Sea of Consciousness; the stele that once stood amidst the stone sea had also vanished.

Although the stele itself was a relic given to him by Isaac, and originally, he had nothing like it in his Sea of Consciousness, its abrupt disappearance left him reluctant to let it go.

"Its historical mission has been completed, you no longer need it! As for the specific changes, you should first open the Catastrophe System to check!" Youyou emitted waves of anticipation, the voice akin to encouraging the unwrapping of a gift tied with a red string.
