The five Saint Kings present remained silent, the elf Saint King in particular. Adolf, the half-demon, had been roaring curses and trying to attack Bai Ye multiple times, but was restrained by the other two demon race Saint Kings, Oufstien and others.
"You, you are shielding him! According to the Three Race Alliance regulations, our Saint Kings' Council has the right to sanction him!"
"Damn it! Let me go."
"Just wait! The Three Race War will resume because of this!"
"Hmph!" The other demon race Saint King controlling him began to show displeasure. Can't you tell what the situation is now? Even Lady Margaret is wary of this mysterious individual. If a bloodbath were to occur now, perhaps the few of them combined could win, but they would undoubtedly pay a heavy price. If the powerful enemies from the other realm were to launch an attack then, how would they respond?
"Lord Adolf, whether the three races will go to war again is not up to you," Oufstien said with a sneer. Although they had been struck several times by powerful enemies from the other realm, their demon race had suffered minimal losses, and all three Saint Kings were still alive. Moreover, in this passage world, all demons could only follow the orders of their demon race!
Furthermore, if the person before them, who could kill Wu Xin and was implicitly at the ceiling of combat power in the passage world, was also of the demon race, then they would have even greater confidence in facing the powerful enemies from the other realm.
Therefore, the eyes of the two demon race Saint Kings as they looked at Ye Ge, besides vigilance, also held a touch of anticipation.
"Good!" Bai Ye nodded, secretly channeling demonic energy to the dragon pattern on his left palm. With a flash of lightning around Bai Ye, he transformed directly into a colossal black dragon hundreds of meters long.
Its horns resembled a deer's, its claws an eagle's, and lightning flickered in its vertical azure eyes, emanating a terrifying aura.
"He is indeed of our demon race." Oufstien and the Saint King beside him showed joy in their eyes. The last elven Saint King remained silent, becoming even more reserved. Adolf wore a grim expression. Seeing Margaret's relieved expression, he finally understood that with the three demon race Saint Kings present, their Saint Kings' Council had no leverage over this lord of Bright City.
"How about it? Can I prove my identity now, Lady Margaret?" Because he had transformed into a great dragon, Bai Ye's voice became extremely resonant, carrying the power of lightning. Ordinary demons might suffer internal injuries just by hearing his voice.
"En!" Margaret nodded and added, "As a fellow kin, I advise you to abandon the dwarves. In the past, many Demon Kings and Elf Kings coveted the demon artifacts of the dwarf tribes, Imperial-grade demon artifacts! But they were all sanctioned!"
En? Bai Ye was slightly startled in his heart, then chuckled inwardly. He hadn't expected them to believe he was plundering the dwarf tribes for Imperial-grade demon artifacts. Although he had entertained the thought, his desire wasn't great. His primary motivation was to pave the way for the humans of Blue Star.
With a thought, Bai Ye reverted to the appearance of Ye Ge, the lord of Bright City. "You don't need to worry about this, Lady Margaret. If there's nothing else, I'll be returning to Bright City."
Margaret opened her mouth, hesitating to speak.
"Lord Ye Ge," Oufstien said with a smile from behind, "with the powerful enemies from the other realm lurking and watching, why don't you come to Elias Great City! With your strength, you can completely join our Saint Kings' Council and possess supreme authority in Elias Great City."
The elven Saint King remained silent. Adolf said coldly, "We half-demons refuse his joining the Saint Kings' Council."
Margaret glanced at him. Oufstien sneered, "This is not something you alone can decide; it requires the council's approval. We now have only five Saint Kings, three of us from the demon race, hehe! Also, prioritizing the overall situation, Lord Singlin, you won't refuse either, right?"
Oufstien looked at the elven Saint King, who remained silent, essentially acquiescing.
"Compared to bustling places, I prefer to cultivate quietly alone. I appreciate your kind offer, but I must decline." Bai Ye refused on the spot and turned to say, "If there's anything you need help with, you can come to Bright City to find me."
Watching Bai Ye's retreating back, the five Saint Kings, including Margaret, had complex expressions. They hadn't fully believed Ye Ge's identity, and there were countless doubts. However, without the confidence to defeat him, they had no right to pass judgment. What slightly eased their minds was that, at least, this city lord was not an enemy; he might even fight alongside them against the powerful enemies from the other realm.
"Lady Margaret, I request to open the Heavenly Tower and contact my clan!" After Bai Ye departed, Adolf finally calmed down somewhat.
Oufstien and the other Saint Kings looked at Margaret and nodded slightly. "The strength of those other-realm enemies far exceeded our expectations. If this continues, not only will we fail to conquer the world on the other side and complete the mission of the supreme beings, but we might even lose this world."
Margaret pondered for a moment and nodded.
"The Heavenly Tower has accumulated energy until now, so it should be usable. Let's pool the resources of the three races and fully open the passage!"
"Return to Elias Great City and guard the Heavenly Tower."
"Good!"
Oufstien and the others showed joy, and even Adolf, who had suppressed his anger, displayed excitement.
Two days later, most of the demons in Elias Great City learned of Wu Xin's demise, which further threw the demon populace into panic. Of the original hundreds of millions of inhabitants in the great cities, fewer than ten million remained.
Meanwhile, Bai Ye finally returned to Bright City with the last batch of dwarf tribes. Upon learning that their city lord had killed Wu Xin, the newly arrived million dwarf tribes began to regard him as a deity. Especially with the rampant indoctrination by the original dwarf leaders like the bearded chief, almost every household displayed statues of the 'God of Light' for worship.
The most excited was the perverted Demon King Demesden, who looked at Bai Ye and drooled, his body becoming drenched…
Startled, Bai Ye immediately retreated into his palace upon his return, closing his doors.
With the addition of a million dwarves, Bright City became increasingly lively. Fueled by a fervent desire for home construction, buildings rose one after another in the city.
On the central mountain of Bright City, Bai Ye's palace grew even more magnificent.
In his room, Bai Ye's bathing pool was larger than a swimming pool.
Lying by the edge of the pool, Bai Ye slowly closed his eyes.

"Holy crap!!!" Seeing the information that followed, Bai Ye sat up in shock.
He didn't know how many demons he had killed during his trip to Elias Great City. He must have killed quite a lot, but he hadn't expected so many!!!
Sudden Wealth! Compared to this, his previous gains were mere trifles.
[Congratulations, Host's Reputation Balance has reached ten billion. Would you like to open the Super Member Draw Area? Y/N?]
"Open!" Bai Ye did not hesitate. The ordinary, advanced, and member draw areas no longer held many prizes that could pique his interest.
[Consume ten billion, confirm payment? Y/N?]
This time, Bai Ye hesitated. He had enjoyed his ten billion fortune for mere seconds before it was about to disappear?
"Uh…"
"Pay."
Reputation - 10,000,000,000.
[Super Member Draw Area has been opened…]
Bai Ye took a closer look and was stunned. He had been happy too soon…
A single draw in the Super Member Draw Area costs one billion reputation points!!!
