In the territory of the Skeleton Demon King.

Clitz and his followers were breathing heavily as they moved here, not because their bodies were lacking oxygen due to vigorous exercise, but because of the oppressive force emanating from that moment.

Clitz felt extremely fortunate and was glad that he made a decisive decision. When he sensed the great sense of crisis, he immediately teleported back to the center of the territory with his followers. Otherwise, they might have met their end in that place.

Not only that, even now back in the territory, he could still faintly feel the ground trembling.

"What exactly is that creature? How could it possess such tremendous power..."

Clitz was extremely unwilling, but he suddenly noticed The Heart of the Universe beside him, which ignited hope in his heart.

As long as The Heart of the Universe was still intact, he had a chance of winning.

Immediately, he waved his big hand and said to his followers, "From this moment on, everyone enter the highest state of alertness and pay close attention to the movements of the outside world. Anyone who enters here will be killed on sight!"

Clitz felt that it would take some time for Green to find them, and during this time, he would have enough time to completely absorb the energy of The Heart of the Universe.

The Heart of the Universe is the purest energy in the universe, with unknown birth conditions and completely random appearances.

Salo Uth once asked the God of Light about it but did not get any useful information.

"Now that The Heart of the Universe has fallen into Clitz's hands, I am also not sure of his exact location. It will probably take some time to find him, and before that, we may have to deal with another trouble."

"Are you referring to Gothney?"

After hearing Green's speculation, Salo Uth nodded.

"Then what do you plan to do next? With Gothney's abilities, it won't be long before he comes knocking on your door, and you will inevitably face a fierce battle."

"Well... I'm not familiar with this place. What do you think is the best course of action?"

"I think..."

Salo Uth pondered for a moment and then expressed his opinion.

"Although Gothney has a peculiar temperament, he won't harm innocent people indiscriminately. So, if you quietly leave the Demon Realm, and he can't find you for a long time, he should give up on pursuing you. In the end, what are you here in the Demon Realm for?"

"Just had an interest in The Heart of the Universe and wanted to investigate."

"You call it interest!... Aren't you afraid of being killed? I'm not joking, even if it's you, I don't think you can defeat Gothney. Moreover, your power will be greatly suppressed in the Demon Realm, while the power of the Demon Clan is just the opposite."

Green didn't directly answer his question but asked in return, "How much of your current strength do you think you had during our last battle?"

"Well... I would say about sixty to seventy percent."

"Sixty to seventy percent..."

Green pondered for a long time, and the serious expression on his face showed that he indeed attached importance to this question. So, Salo Uth did not continue to dissuade Green for the time being. He believed that after Green figured it out, he would choose to leave the Demon Realm voluntarily.

To be honest, Salo Uth didn't want to see Green being killed, especially because Gothney was incredibly powerful.

Moreover, he hadn't seen Gothney in how many years.

Most importantly, as the Demon King, his strength would only increase and not decrease.

Elsa had been listening to their conversation on the side. It was the first time she saw Salo Uth being so amiable with someone. In the past, at times like this, let alone giving suggestions, he would probably throw the person out and let them die.

Not only that, his tone was also relatively caring.

This was the first time she had seen this side of Salo Uth.

In comparison, when she thought about Salo Uth's ruthlessness during her training, Elsa felt a sense of grievance.

But she didn't dare to rebel because she understood that Salo Uth only wanted her to become stronger to protect herself, although she hadn't been able to complete the task Salo Uth gave her even after becoming stronger...

Finally, after a few minutes, Green exhaled deeply. Saro Uth thought that Green had come to his senses and quickly got up, saying, "Have you finally come to your senses? This is the right choice. Do you want me to send you back to the human world now?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"Aren't you going back? If I send you, you can go back faster."

"No, no, no. I never said I wanted to go back."

Seeing Green repeatedly shaking his head, Saro Uth had a bad feeling, which soon became a reality. Green straightened up and said without a doubt, "That pigeon...Gothnereh, right? If he wants to come, let him come. I'm here just to study The Heart of the Universe. If someone wants to disturb me, I can only eliminate him."

"Eliminate... Green, I definitely don't underestimate your abilities, but I hope you can reconsider. Gothnereh's power far exceeds your imagination. If it wasn't for his peculiar personality, the entire demon world would have been at his mercy. I think it's better to leave here before the situation gets worse."

Saro Uth still wanted to dissuade him, but Green didn't change his mind. However, having personally experienced the terror of Gothnereh, he didn't want to see Green killed or disabled.

Especially when Green seemed indifferent now, a surge of impulse rose in Saro Uth's heart. He firmly put his hands on Green's shoulders and shouted, "Green, although I don't know about your life in the mortal world, you should also have someone important to you, just like Elsa is the only family I have. In your world, there should be someone like that too! And, you are the only person I can call a friend. I can't just watch you throw your life away!"

"Uh... Saro Uth?"

Seeing Green's slightly troubled expression, Saro Uth realized that he had lost control and quickly released his hands from Green's shoulders. Green also didn't expect Saro Uth to suddenly become so agitated. And according to what he said, does Saro Uth only have Elsa as a newcomer?

"Saro Uth, aren't you the Demon King? I can believe that I'm the only friend you have, but there should be more than one person you consider as family, right?"

But upon hearing Green's confusion, Saro Uth shook his head and looked at Elsa beside him. Being stared at by Saro Uth with such complex eyes, Elsa felt uncomfortable.

"Green, do you know how the Demon King is born?"

Green naturally shook his head.

"In that case, let me explain it to you."

During Saro Uth's long narration, Green gradually understood the general picture of the demon world. It turned out that the demon world, like the human world, had various races and countries, but above the countries, there was an entity called the Demon King ruling over them.

However, the Demon King did not become powerful by themselves. The Demon King was born naturally. Occasionally, a new race would be born in the demon world, and if only one individual appeared when a new race was born, meaning there was only one individual in the entire race, that individual would evolve into the Demon King under the rules of the demon world.

That individual would become the King of Demons.

The individual who became the Demon King would gain tremendous power, and the race that reproduced offspring with the Demon King would be called the Demon King's followers. The race that became the Demon King's followers would be able to evolve and become stronger.

Among the three Demon Kings, Saro Uth only had Succubus as his follower, unlike the other two Demon Kings, especially the Skeleton Demon King, who had the most followers. Therefore, the overall military strength was also the strongest.

For Saro Uth, the only blood-relations he had among the demons was Elsa, at this stage. Elsa's parents had long passed away due to their lifespans, and it seemed that only Elsa's blood had undergone some changes, allowing her to have such a long lifespan.

Although there weren't many demon followers, Saro Uth still had many demon soldiers under his command, but their combat power was completely incomparable to the followers of other Demon Kings.

"In terms of individual strength, that skull is far inferior to me. He usually travels with his kin, but neither his overall strength nor his individual strength can compare to the two of us combined in Gothnei. Not only is Gothnei himself extremely powerful, but his kin are also incredibly formidable."

"So you really think Gothnei is going to kill me? And why are you so sure that Gothnei has his eyes on me? Besides, even if I hide my aura completely, Gothnei may not be able to find me, right?"

Green still didn't want to leave here like this. It wasn't because he thought he could defeat Gothnei, nor was it because he was fearless. On the contrary, Green was extremely afraid of death.

What he feared was not death itself, but what would happen to Aloof and the others after his death.

Whenever he thought this way, Green would realize vividly that he was different from before. After having someone he cared about deeply, he no longer had the emotion of "it doesn't matter if I die like this".

It was precisely because of this that Green wanted to thoroughly study The Heart of the Universe. Because it was highly likely to be related to the power of the world's source in parallel universes.

The power of the world's source, as the literal meaning suggests, is the most fundamental energy in the universe. However, it also erases beings that exceed the specifications of the world, such as the gods mentioned by ordinary people and humans whose strength approaches that of the gods.

Even though Green's energy had decreased significantly due to the source energy transported last time, over time, if nothing was done, he was afraid that he would face the same fate as the parallel world.

"Green..."

Looking at Green's eyes, Saloius noticed a kind of obsession within them.

"Never mind, but if Gothnei really finds you, don't blame me for getting in the way."

"What do you mean?"

Green didn't understand the latter half of Saro Uth's words, so he asked casually. Saro Uth turned his head elsewhere and snorted.

"At the very least, this is my territory. When the time comes, I will fight alongside you."
