Due to the lack of time, Chen Rui did not stay in the Dark Shadow Empire for long. He soon arrived at the Dark Moon Estate along with Catherine. This made Duoduo, who had not seen mommy for a while, extremely excited.
As for the Dark Shadow Empire, Catherine had already made arrangements. Under the name of closed-door meditation and training, the new Internal Affairs Officer, Liliz, was responsible for government affairs, while the military affairs were fully handed over to Uncle Frentz. As everyone knew, the Dark Shadow’s Royal Majesty Empress was not only a sage, but also a powerhouse who could rival Raizen. There had been many similar meditations or trainings before, so this time also did not stir up any commotion.
At this time, the Dark Moon Estate had gathered all the relatives and friends as well as the spiritual link ‘connectors’ who were about to participate in the trail of the Ghastly Floating Land.
The harem troupe included Zola, Catherine, and Isabella.
The Ghastly Floating Land was extremely dangerous. Even Demi-God would be in danger of falling at any time. Athena was pregnant, so she definitely couldn’t take this risk, so she stayed in the Dark Moon to rest peacefully. Kia’s strength was low, and she was not good at combat. To avoid distracting Chen Rui and others, she chose to stay and take care of Athena.
It was not that Shea didn’t want to go, but her situation was different from Catherine’s. Besides, this trial was not a day or two, and the people that Satan would send next would definitely come to the Fallen Angel Empire first, so Shea’s responsibility and the pressure she faced would not be trivial.
Although Shea, Athena, and Kia were unable to go, they all accepted the 2-star [Star-level Enhancement], and they strived to comprehend the mystery of 2-star enhancement as soon as possible – to become the ‘goddess’ of the ‘great grand master inheritance world’ as soon as possible just like Zola. Even if they couldn’t battle directly, they could greatly enhance the strength of Chen Rui.
As a first substitute member of the harem (self-proclaimed), Alice also volunteered to participate, but the basis of 2-star enhancement was 1-star enhancement. Princess Loli was still in the first stage. 1-star enhancement would make the strength regress within a month. Fortunately, with Alice’s strength, it could basically be ignored. She just followed Athena to help out in the Dark Moon.
Tiffany, who was far away in the Bloody Empire, also received the 1-star enhancement before returning to the Bloody Empire.
At that time, Chen Rui didn’t have any extra plans. It was just to help her regain her strength and self-confidence. As Tiffany’s power was devoured by Eudora with Eliza’s talent, plus her foundation was severely damaged in the spirit gathering magic circle, she could not recover with ordinary training in a short time. There would be troubles in the future. 1-star enhancement could refine and recast her foundation, which was the right solution.
The members of the friends group were Paglio, Krobelus, Roman, Delia, Medilu and Dodo.
Paglio was the most enthusiastic one. He was a step away from reaching the peak stage of the Kingdom level, and he had been unable to succeed previously. This time was obviously the best way to train. Krobelus had just broken through the kingdomization realm, so she also needed actual combat to stabilize her realm.
Roman, who entered kingdomization not long ago, was not willing to fall back either. He clamored to catch up as soon as possible and ruthlessly abuse the poison dragon. Delia’s strength was equal to Roman’s back then. Later, due to the [Soul Shackles], her strength could not progress. After Broc’s death and the dispelling of the shackles, Delia had already been far behind him. Currently, she was only a Demon Overlord. She also wanted to enter the super-level in order to fight side by side with Roman. As a ‘mistress’, Medilu, who had always been assertive, naturally also wanted to keep up with the pace of the ‘legitimate wife’.
The least enthusiastic was Dodo. The slime, who had always been indulging in enjoyment and avoiding work, finally returned from the ‘dangerous human world’. He was definitely not willing to endure hardship and training. Nevertheless, he reluctantly went together under some coercion and temptation.
These people had already accepted the power of 2-star evolution. It only depended on when they could comprehend ‘god conferring’.
In addition to the relatives and friends group, there was also the subordinate group. Namely Samuel, Joanna, Ina, Guradam, Celine and Sicali.
Samuel was definitely going to participate in the Ghastly Floating Land’s trial, while Joanna and Ina stayed in the Dark Moon to assist Shea since they were not fighting types.
The matriarch of the Dark Shadow Empire’s top commercial family, Celine, was originally Chen Rui’s undercover agent in the Dark Shadow Empire. But now even the Dark Shadow Empire’s empress was Chen Rui’s wife. Therefore, this ‘undercover’ naturally lost its function. Celine knew Chen Rui’s strength and means very well, so she chose to truly surrender. She had been diligent, so Chen Rui gave her a 1-star evolution power this time.
The Corpse Necromancer Guradam was regarded as the ‘old minister’ of the Dark Moon Estate. The undead army under his command played a very important role in the civil war of the Fallen Angel Empire against Raizen’s army. At the beginning, Guradam wanted to advance to the Demon Overlord. Although he got the Dragon Power Essence found by Chen Rui, he could not succeed because of the lack of the siren’s heart. Later, Chen Rui defeated Lich King Glorios in the Dead Sea’s Land of Hatred, and he got the Lich King’s life box. He also defeated Dracolich Ukleus in the Fallen Angel Empire’s potioneer contest and got a complete dracolich skeleton. All the relics of the super powerhouse were handed over to Guradam for research.
Guradam had been in closed-door training since then. Finally, not long ago, he took a risk and used the power of the life box to fuse his own soul essence with the life essence in the bones of Ukleus. As a result, he successfully became a combination of corpse necromancer and the dracolich with 2 battle forms. His strength directly entered the early stage of kingdomization.
It happened that Guradam received Chen Rui’s call and came to the Dark Moon in high spirits, wanting to shock the ‘master’. At the same time, he wanted to shock the Poison Dragon Paglio who stepped on his head before. The poor corpse necromancer was so obsessed with research that he didn’t know anything about the Demon Realm’s martial battle. He almost pissed when he got to the Dark Moon (He didn’t seem to have this feature) – Paglio has approached the peak stage of the Kingdom Level, Roman and Krobelus’ strength is also at the Kingdom Level, even the slime! 1 of master’s wives, Fairy Dragon Zola, is actually Demi-God!
Catherine, 1 of the madams who just rushed back to the Dark Moon with the master, is at the peak stage of the Kingdom Level. The master already has the strength to contend against Pseudo-God!
In the face of this group of ‘monsters’, the corpse necromancer had to continue to behave…
After getting the 1-star enhancement and star conferring, Guradam was in high spirits. Upon hearing that the Ghastly Floating Land had unprecedentedly powerful wandering spirits, the corpse necromancer did not care about the 1-month period of weakness, and he requested to join. Anyway, as long as the life box was not destroyed, at most a skeleton would be sacrificed.
As for Sicali, he was currently the lord of the White Feather Estate. Unlike the previous ones, he signed a master-servant contract. Facing the legendary super powerhouse master, Sicali, who knew that life and death were entirely in the hands of the other party, showed great respect and devotion. Chen Rui thought about it and gave him a 1-star enhancement.
In fact, there was another servant who was the spearman Lucio of the human world. He was working as a deacon in the Holy Sanctuary of the Blue Glory Empire. Chen Rui had secret contact with him when he was in magician city. He was currently a semi-undercover agent.
Initially, Ms. Black Dragon Olypheus, Adeline, Demi-God subordinate Leslie, Helen and flat 3-stage transformation loli Lalaria could also play a role, but these people had all gone to the Dead Sea to visit relatives and explore. There was no news from them yet.
The Dead Sea was the home of Adeline and Helen. With Leslie and Lalaria there, safety wasn’t a big problem.
There was also a precious daughter, Duoduo. First, she was still young. Second, Chen Rui did not want to limit her future path now, so he did not allow her to accept the power of enhancement or link.
As for the development of new link targets, Chen Rui had not thought about it. The current situation was a little urgent, so he would think about it at the next step. The top priority was to strengthen himself as well as his relatives and friends as soon as possible and to obtain ‘rule energy’ to meet the needs of the City of Stars.
The people who decided to go to the Ghastly Floating Land training made some preparations. Chen Rui activated the Tower of Glory and put everyone in the tower. His mind moved slightly, and a light blue light appeared in front of him. Crystal clear starlights began to emerge around.
This time, in another place.
The 3 figures respectfully looked at the man sitting in the hall.
To be precise, there was a figure with only half of his body left, and his injuries should be quite serious, but in front of that man, he didn’t dare to take a breath.
The man closed his eyes and listened to the report of the woman who led the other 2. After hearing the word ‘convey’, those eyes finally opened slowly. The gaze was not particularly sharp, only a faint majesty. The 3 of them who had been keeping their heads down suddenly shivered in unison.
“Old friend?” The man expressed a thoughtful expression.
“When we came back, we happened to hear that Sir Satan was training, so we didn’t dare to disturb. Until sir finished training today…” The woman was Esqui, who was very arrogant in the Fallen Angel Empire, but now she was trembling. Lest saying a wrong word, she would be annihilated.
It turned out that this was the Mountain Seckred, and the man in the hall was obviously Satan, the mastermind behind the ‘Dark Divinity Temple’.
When Satan extended a finger, Esqui didn’t dare to explain any further, and she lowered her head.
“Is that person male or female? What are the characteristics?”
“A male with a very ordinary appearance. Now that I think about it, his facial features are very vague, but his gaze gives me a very terrifying feeling as if…” Esqui tried to recall the original scene.
“What is it?”
“The stars… Countless stars.” Esqui lowered her head and said, “His original strength seemed to be the peak stage of the Demi-God, then he revealed his true strength. I had no way to resist that terrifying momentum. It is definitely not the power that a Demi-God level can have, but I can be sure it is might.”
“Since it’s might, it’s really not something you can fight against the enemy.” Satan nodded slightly. Just as Esqui and the 2 others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the faint voice sounded again, “However, it seems that you guys came back too quickly. Did you just go to the Fallen Angel Empire?”
“Yes.” Esqui burst into a cold sweat, “Because that person said…”
Before she could finish speaking, Satan snorted, and the 3 of them sensed a terrifying force rushing into their souls. They were torn apart in half, and they all shouted, “Sir, spare our life!”
The tearing force gradually subsided. The 3 of them trembled; no one dared to speak out.
“I’ll spare your life this time, but I’ve always been clear about rewards and punishments. Esqui, you’re the one in charge, so I’ll punish you for going to the Ice Prison for 1 year, and the other 2 for 1 month.”
When the 3 of them heard the word the ‘Ice Prison’, they shivered in unison, but in any case, their lives were saved, so they quickly retreated.
“Male?”
“The might of the stars? It shouldn’t be her…”
“What kind of old friend is that?”
“An answer will come soon…”
In the hall, the muttering voice gradually disappeared, and it returned to silence.
TL: Her? Someone has the similar might as Chen Rui?
