Iris did not leave the Dragon Lizard Canyon because Baiying, who had lived for two thousand years, said: the orcs would come to vampires for help.

The orc empire is currently closed off, and if it weren't for the secret realm appearing, they would probably never step foot outside.

At this moment, Chaos's emotions were a bit restless. He was clearly unhappy, even angry, about Iris proposing an alliance with the angel.

"Iris! Why did you interrupt my argument with Order? And why would you want to ally with that neurotic? Don't forget, she didn't hesitate to team up with the Tidal Tribe to suppress us demons, and even tried to destroy me," Chaos's voice was filled with strong resentment.

Normally, Chaos would never refer to Iris as "human boy" since she used to be one, but now she was a vampire girl.

"Chaos, we share information. And you heard Baiying say that we, the Divinity and Demon's Continent, will lose after two thousand years. I will die, Baixi will die, and Ling was taken away by a guy named the Chameleon," Iris's emotions remained calm. She wanted to change the future and not let down Baiying's efforts to cross time and space.

Iris vaguely guessed at the cost of Baiying's time travel. The Baiying from two thousand years later should be able to easily defeat her and take away her younger self from Iris's hands.

But instead of coming to snatch her personally, she commanded these creatures with mixed dragon bloodlines to consume her, allowing Hundred Dragons and Black Dragons to snatch young Baiying.

Various signs indicated that the cost of time travel would cause their own powers to disappear. At that time, Iris noticed that Baiying's black pupils had become somewhat transparent, indicating that she was likely to lose her sight.

Chaos remained silent after hearing Iris's words, and after a long while, she finally said, "Then let's do as you say."

"Chaos, you don't have to worry about being betrayed by the angel. Currently, two of the top five angels are serving me, and one can be considered my sister. She can't attack me, and I can't attack her. Jia Bairi, as my sister, should help her younger sister. Even if she doesn't support me, she won't attack us because of Order's command," Iris calmly reassured Chaos. The feeling of cooperating with someone who had betrayed her was truly indescribably complex.

Chaos remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "We'll do as you say."

"Do you have confidence in holding back the Martial Angel?" Chaos asked again.

"Of course," Iris smiled faintly, exuding infinite confidence. "As long as Lilia stays alive, the Martial Angel won't leave the Shuowang Empire. In gratitude for my grandmother saving her life, I believe the Martial Angel will remember it for life."

"By the way, the Tactical Angel is just a small fry. Based on strength, she doesn't even rank in the top five. We should push the sixth-ranked angel up. Although she is highly intelligent, her strength is too weak. If she gets captured, she can only be reeducated," Iris analyzed the current high-level combat abilities of angels and demons.

"In the current situation, only the first, fifth, and sixth-ranked angels can be considered top-tier forces. But we demons are ranked first, third, fourth, and fifth."

Iris concluded the analysis of the current angel and demon forces: "So, in summary, the advantage is on our side. Besides, two angels have already died in battle, making our advantage even more apparent."

"The devil doesn't need any comfort. Besides, we're not at war with the angels now, so it's hard to say who will have the advantage in the end," Chaos said, her emotions gradually returning to balance, seeming to have accepted the fact of working with the angels.

"Find the demon sword and help me restore my body. After that, you can be the vampire queen and I'll take care of conquering the Ruined Land," Chaos said in a calm tone, revealing a hint of concern, clearly not wanting Iris to go to the Ruined Land.

The reason is that Baiying, two thousand years later, said that Iris would be surrounded and killed by five ancient behemoths.

Staying in the Shuowang Empire might allow Iris to safely pass each day.

"Why are you still worried about my life and death?" Iris frowned, a little displeased.

"You're the only one I've raised...nothing? If you want to die, go ahead," Chaos stopped herself from continuing, then went back to sleep, ignoring Iris.

"It's annoying how you fall asleep without finishing your sentence..." Iris complained to herself, helpless against Chaos.

Not long after, a fox-like beastman arrived in front of Iris, speaking in a respectful and humble tone, "Excuse me, are you a member of the vampire royal family?"

Galral could discern that the girl before him was a member of the vampire royal family, given her striking silver hair. However, her appearance and figure were quite different from her ancestors, leading Galral to doubt her true identity.

"That's right." Iris nodded slightly. "Six years ago, I saw you in front of the Gate of Interaction. At that time, your leader was a bear-like beastman."

Galral was slightly surprised, but he had no impression of the silver-haired girl before him. At that time, there were only two silver-haired girls, one being the vampire queen, Your Majesty Lilia, and the other being her wanted daughter.

"You are..." Galral hesitated. The appearance of this silver-haired girl didn't resemble the vampire royal family at all.

"Forget it, my appearance has changed. You just need to know that I am the vampire queen. I already understand your purpose in coming here. Now, tell me what help you need," Iris remained calm and composed. After all, Baiying from two thousand years later had already told her: When the beastmen seek help, she must assist.

Galral didn't expect the vampire queen to inquire about their needs before he even had a chance to speak. He secretly admired the vampire queen for being the most wise existence among the vampires.

"I hope the vampire queen can help me become the Your Majesty of the beastman empire. This is not an empty request. If I succeed in becoming Your Majesty, I am willing to give you ten cities as a gift," Galral sincerely said. After all, he was seeking vampire reinforcements during this outing, and it was already a gamble. He hoped to rely on the vampires' formidable strength to win.

But he also understood that becoming the Your Majesty of the beastmen was an extremely difficult task because, in the eyes of the beastmen, being Your Majesty required strong power to support it.

However, Galral lacked that strong power; he only had a clever mind.

"There's no problem in helping you become Your Majesty. I want to know what your purpose for becoming Your Majesty is."

Iris looked at Galral and asked, “Revenge. My brother, who is also the bear-shaped orc you mentioned, died in the passage of the Interaction Gate while protecting me. Our father did nothing, even made a deal with the Ruined Land. As long as we seal ourselves off, they won't attack us and are willing to give the vampire territory to the Orc Empire.”

“And what's the result?”

“The result is that my father agreed. In my opinion, as long as the Divinity and Demon's Continent is defeated, the Orc Empire will face its final reckoning. I not only seek revenge, but also want to save our country.” Galral's eyes flickered with determination.

Iris did not expect such a story. She paused for a moment and said, “The ten cities are not necessary then. When you become the Orc Empire's ruler, please remember what you said today. If allowed, I want to purchase fire elemental crystals from your Orc Empire at market price.”

“When I become the Orc Empire's ruler, Your Majesty, you can have whatever you want.”

With these words, the Rune Sword appeared in Iris's hand, and she pointed it directly at the tiger-shaped orc behind Galral, asking, “Can I trust him?”

“He is my younger brother, you can trust him.”

“Within a week, someone will come to the Orc Empire to find you.”

Afterwards, Iris returned to the Shuowang Empire with Qizhou and Shizhi. As for Federer, once the secret realm ended, he returned to the Shuowang Empire, after all, there were still two boxes of spicy rabbit heads under Baixi's bed that he could eat.
