"Return!" Demesdon's command echoed from afar, and the cadres and little demons immediately turned back.
"Can someone tell me what's going on?"
"Garcia, you know the Demon King best, you tell us!"
Demesdon's eight great cadres had all arrived. As they retreated, they bombarded the four-winged demon bird with questions.
Garcia, the four-winged demon bird, sighed after thinking for a long time, "Perhaps, maybe, our Demon King has been subdued. From now on, our Narus region will have a new Demon King..."
The many cadres looked as if they had seen a ghost, their faces filled with disbelief.
On the other side, Bai Ye traveled for a while before arriving at the place where the dwarves were mining.
Robert, who was on watch at the cave entrance, and a few other young men were overjoyed to see Bai Ye return. However, their smiles vanished when they saw Demesdon following behind Bai Ye.
"Demon King Demesdon! Ye, Yege-sama, this, this..."
"No need to be nervous, she will be one of my stewards from now on."
Did Yege-sama just publicly declare that I am hers? So exciting! Demesdon's face flushed red with excitement. "I am Cassie Demesdon, a steward who is utterly devoted to Yege-sama."
Bai Ye's casual words, coupled with Demesdon's subservient demeanor, nearly made Robert and the others' jaws drop to the ground. What had happened in such a short time?
"Go and call Stuwicko out."
"Ah! Yes, yes, Yege-sama!" Realizing what was said, Robert's legs seemed to turn into wheels as he shot into the mine.
Soon, the bearded clan leader and a group of people rushed out. They were even more excited than anyone else upon hearing that the great Demon King Demesdon had been subdued by their God of Light.
Upon reaching the cave entrance, they indeed saw Demesdon obediently standing beside Bai Ye, and they immediately prostrated themselves on the ground in worship. Their faith and devotion surged once more!
The snake woman, Du Sha, stood aside, her heart filled with shock and caution. She knew Bai Ye was powerful, but she never imagined he could be so strong as to subdue a mid-level Demon King!
In that case, could the Seven Saint Kings really kill him? Since she started following Bai Ye, she had always worried about being purged by the demon race, but now she felt more at ease.
However, with the arrival of this Demon King slave, who possessed both strength and beauty, would she be neglected? The snake woman, Du Sha, felt a sense of crisis.
Bai Ye asked them all to rise and said to the bearded clan leader, "Put the mining aside for now, there's no rush. From now on, you can mine all the mineral resources and demon crystals in the entire Narus region as you please. Now, come with me to find a suitable location for building the city."
The dwarves were overjoyed, realizing that the matter they had discussed not long ago was now about to be realized.
Truly worthy of being called the God of Light, he always keeps his word!
"Yes, Yege-sama!" The bearded clan leader was so happy it was as if he had become decades younger, his entire being filled with vigor.
Bai Ye then instructed the snake woman to lead the other dwarves back to the tribe to bring the rest of the dwarves to the Narus region. Afterward, Bai Ye waved his hand, leading the bearded clan leader and the Demon King Cassie Demesdon to survey the entire Narus region.
Cassie Demesdon's territory was a rectangular area with a length and width of three to four thousand kilometers, an area larger than the entire Great Xia Kingdom.
After searching for a long time, they finally settled on Demesdon's old lair, the rocky mountain peak, the only colossal mountain range in the entire Narus region.
A large river flowed beside the rocky mountain peak, and the land was fertile. Most importantly, the bearded clan leader discovered a demon crystal mine beneath the rocky mountain peak, with rich ore content.
This was also why the rocky mountain peak, though barren, had a higher concentration of demon essence than other places.
"Yege-sama, we will build a magnificent temple of light for you on this great mountain."
"Then, centered on the entire mountain peak, we will build a colossal city extending outwards for a hundred miles. When that time comes, our city will be the second-largest city in the world!"
Carried by Bai Ye in the sky, the bearded clan leader looked down, immensely excited. In the past, this world had countless cities of their dwarf race; even the Elites Colossal City was built by them, only to be occupied by half-demons later.
But now, they saw hope. At least, if this city were established, they would have taken the first step!
"Good. We'll choose this place." Bai Ye nodded in agreement. He wasn't particularly skilled in this area anyway.
"Cassie."
"Mmm~ Yege-sama?" Demesdon floated before Bai Ye, looking at him expectantly.
Bai Ye looked at the mountain peak below and pointed with his hand, ordering, "What are you waiting for? Go build the city!"
"Beyond the mountain peak by a hundred miles, first build a wall, a thousand meters high and a hundred meters thick. It must be completed within ten days!"
With a radius of one hundred kilometers, the wall of this new city would exceed 600 kilometers in length. Even with earth element power at the Demon King level, this was not an easy task.
But Bai Ye didn't care about all that. The more gentle and friendly he was to Cassie Demesdon, the more she disliked and resented him! Conversely, the rougher he treated her, the happier she became...
As expected, seeing Bai Ye's icy demeanor and his unyielding tone, Demesdon's small face flushed red.
"Yes~ Yege-sama."
As a mid-level Demon King, being ordered to do such lowly and degrading work! How shameful would it be if the outside world found out! Mmm~ So exciting!
Building such a long wall in ten days was impossible! His magic power was insufficient. Was he trying to drain me dry? To keep me in a state of extreme weakness so that I have no power to resist?
"Mmmph!!!"
Cassie Demesdon continued her perverted thought process while using her formidable earth element magic to control the land.
Rumble, rumble, rumble~
Amidst earth-shattering tremors, walls like towering mountains rose from the ground, slowly extending.
"Yege-sama, your sword..." On the mountain peak, the bearded clan leader finally noticed the scabbard of the Tang sword at Bai Ye's waist.
Bai Ye chuckled, "It's broken."
Looking at Cassie Demesdon working diligently in front of him, releasing terrifying magic power, the bearded clan leader smiled helplessly.
"After all, it's just an S-grade demonic artifact. It simply couldn't withstand the destructive power of a Demon King. I'm very sorry, Yege-sama, my skill can only forge S-grade demonic artifacts. But this level simply doesn't befit you."
"It's fine, I don't usually engage in close combat," Bai Ye waved his hand. His previous wild slashing with the sword was an attempt to test his close-combat skills. Although half-demons couldn't use magic, their close-combat prowess was extremely high. Many demonic beasts and elves, once caught in their close grip, would face immense danger.
This was something he needed to pay special attention to, as half-demons, being the third major race, still had their share of super-experts or even beings of supreme existence.
The bearded clan leader fell silent for a moment, then said, "Yege-sama, if you wish to forge an SS-grade demonic artifact, there is a way!"
"Oh?" Hearing him say this, Bai Ye became interested.
"In the Elites Colossal City, there are many of our enslaved kin, many of whom possess superior forging skills to mine. If we could rescue them..."
The bearded clan leader looked up slightly, meeting Bai Ye's deep eyes, and felt a pang of panic, immediately kneeling on the ground.
"I apologize, Yege-sama. I truly wish to ask you to rescue our kin, but the Elites Colossal City is fraught with danger, and we should not ask you to take such risks. Please forgive me!"
Bai Ye's expression was calm, devoid of joy or sorrow. "We'll discuss this later. For now, go survey the terrain. I'll rest for a while."
"Yes, Yege-sama!" The bearded clan leader descended the mountain with some apprehension.
Elites Colossal City! I should indeed go and see it sometime soon...
During this period, the demon race had been searching for the mysterious Demon King who controlled powerful spatial abilities and the Demon King who controlled fire element powers, and had not updated the wanted posters for his current identity as the Demon King who controlled ice element powers.
This meant that their diviners had encountered some trouble, or it would be difficult to divine his current identity in a short period.
Since that was the case, it was time to strike while the iron was hot!
"Cassie! Hurry up, if you're not dead, work yourselves to death!"
Cassie Demesdon instantly became even more excited. "Mmm~ Yes~ Yege-sama~~"
Bai Ye sat on the mountain, enjoying the fresh breeze carrying the scent of nature, and opened the lottery system.
He had painstakingly hoarded 900 million reputation points, and it was time to enjoy them.
