"Ah?" Luo Yunshi was stunned.
What... what kind of situation was this?
"The medical clinic treated your injuries. Your demon race has already paid the points."
Luo Yunshi explained.
"Oh~~~" Bai Li nodded, as if she had listened, and then said, "How can those few points be worth my life? Tell me, Fairy Luo, what do you want?"
Luo Yunshi refused again, but Bai Li still looked determined to repay the favor.
Fine, if it's offered, why refuse?
How could the life of a demon king be the same as that of an ordinary demon? This was not an era where everyone was equal. Regardless of one's status, the cost of treatment in a hospital was the same. Since the demon king wanted to give, it would be foolish not to accept.
"Fairy saved my life, so I will naturally repay you. Fairy can think about it carefully. I'll go take care of business first." Bai Li gave a charming smile and vanished from the spot.
What she wanted was naturally the good things the demon realm possessed. Spirit fruits and spirit herbs, and so on. Even if the system was maxed out and unbound, she could still take them away. Luo Yunshi lowered her eyes and pondered.
...
The trees were dense, blocking out the sky, and stretching endlessly.
Bai Li and three demon ancestors at the tribulation-crossing stage arrived at the barrier to reinforce it.
The four of them flew high into the sky simultaneously, positioning themselves in the east, west, north, and south. They concentrated their minds, recited incantations, and a barrier slowly formed around the four of them.
Bai Li and the other three placed their hands on the barrier together, channeling spiritual energy into it.
Red, green, gold, and purple spiritual energy were injected into the barrier, which instantly displayed a blue halo.
The halo flickered and strengthened, eventually becoming a deep blue light shield that gradually concealed itself as if it had never existed.
Only then did the four of them remove their hands, having lost more than half of their spiritual energy. They exchanged glances.
"Success!" Jin Jinli exclaimed with joy.
"This reinforcement of the barrier is at least twice as strong as the previous one. It should be able to hold off the human realm for a while."
"I wonder how many strong cultivators will appear from the human realm. We must prepare ourselves."
Bai Li nodded. "Yes, everything is being arranged."
The four demons instantly vanished and arrived together at the Good Fortune Simulation Training Room.
......
Many talented demons were also lining up at the training room to enter.
"What are we afraid of? If the human cultivators come to our demon realm, I'll slap them to death."
.....
Luo Yunshi was training rapidly in the shop. More and more customers arrived, all sorts of demons. All the rooms were rented out. The cinemas and various other shops were packed.
Outside the scope of Good Fortune, there were still demons fighting. However, quite a few demon tribes had not yet arrived at Good Fortune.
Time ticked by. The atmosphere in the shop grew increasingly tense.
Finally, the time reached 8 PM.
Luo Yunshi's cultivation had also reached the late Golden Core stage.
Outside, dark clouds rolled in across the sky, making it extremely gloomy. A storm was imminent, as if foretelling a major event.
Luo Yunshi looked out of the shop, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
Perhaps sensing that something major was about to happen, all the demons in the demon realm suddenly became restless.
The tribal leaders of the demon race gathered at the barrier, ready for battle at any moment.
Bai Li, dressed in black, stood at the forefront of the barrier, observing its condition.
Time slowly passed, and the demons' sense of unease grew stronger.
Suddenly, there was a deafening boom in the sky, accompanied by a rumble of thunder. A massive bolt of lightning split the sky, and a huge crack appeared in the barrier.
Hearing the sound, Luo Yunshi took out the Golden Bell Shield cloud aircraft from her system backpack, mounted it, and flew towards the barrier with Dali.
"Fairy Luo, why are you here too?" Bai Li, flying in the air, looked astonished.
"I'm here to see what's happening, perhaps I can help with something."
And to see the strength of the human cultivators, what weapons they used, and what scientific cultivation was all about.
"That's great! After five hours, we finally managed to open the barrier. Everyone entering the demon realm must be careful, act according to the plan, kill the demonic beasts, scout the terrain, find habitable spaces, and occupy land to the greatest extent possible. Our country, M, must strive for first place." The blond-haired, blue-eyed man set up a soundproof barrier and commanded.
"Yes."
Boom!!
With a loud explosion, the entire barrier instantly shattered.
However, after seeing the barrier break, the human cultivators, too overjoyed to cheer, were astonished and their mouths fell open.
How could there be human cultivators in the demon realm? The barrier was not damaged; how did the human cultivators arrive? Had some force already occupied the demon realm in advance?
The human cultivators and the demon cultivators eyed each other warily, and neither side made a move.
The strength of the human cultivators was not superior to that of the demons, but they carried many weapons like airplanes and cannons.
Bai Li and the other demons became even more vigilant.
As expected, everything Luo Xianzi had predicted had come true.
......
"Not good, host! There are people with systems on the human realm's side too!" System Xiao Qi's panicked and astonished voice sounded in Luo Yunshi's mind.
"What's going on?" Luo Yunshi, who had been casually observing the human cultivators and their equipment, felt a jolt in her heart upon hearing System Xiao Qi's words, a vague sense of things spiraling out of control.
"I forgot to tell you some good news earlier.
After the system upgraded, its functions increased. Previously, I could only see the general situation of systems of the same type as me. Now I can also sense and contact different types of systems in nearby worlds that are weaker than me.
The system on the human realm's side is weaker than me, called the Hegemony and Salvation System. Hegemony and Salvation... wouldn't this mean it's trying to snatch our job? Its level is lower than mine, so it can't sense me, but we can contact each other. Host, why don't I go chat with the other side?" the system suggested.
Luo Yunshi had some guesses.
Hegemony... Salvation...
That system must not know that there is a higher-level system completing a mission in the demon realm. Its host might want to merge the two worlds, use their cheat to save the world from chaos, and then dominate the world.
Dominating the world was acceptable, but including the demon realm was not. If so, wouldn't the merit for saving two worlds go to him alone?
That wouldn't do. She must claim the merit for saving the demon realm. For her, merit was more important than points, as points were common, but merit was not. Especially salvation merit like this. The system was nearing its max level, and the worlds it could visit were decreasing. Missing one was a loss.
"Alright, contact them. It's best to find out the binder's plan, so there are no conflicts with us that might affect my shop in the demon realm, our earning of points, and our acquisition of merit for saving the demon realm."
"Okay, host, please wait a moment."
After a while, System Xiao Qi spoke again.
"Host, I'm back."
"Mm, go on."
"The Hegemony and Salvation System is too low-level and doesn't know the plot like System Xiao Qi does. Xiao Qi, after some coercion and temptation, I finally learned their plan.
Due to the war, the human realm is currently in a state of tripartite division. Its host is the next ruler of the Han Kingdom, one of the three countries, and the current ruler is his father."
