"So you're saying that you believe the Demon Lord cannot change the Demon Realm that gave birth to it?"

"That's one way to interpret it, Lord Green."

"If you had said these things to me before, I might have had some reservations. But now..."

Green stroked his chin, a faint smile on his face.

Before consuming the Heart of the Universe, the conservative faction's words were worth considering. But after absorbing the energy of the entire Heart of the Universe, things had changed completely.

"Are you suggesting that we continue with the plan to transform the Demon Realm?"

"Of course. Just watch from the sidelines, and leave the specifics to me."

The old members of the conservative faction looked at Green with confidence, hesitating. They exchanged glances and sighed helplessly.

"Hopefully, Lord Green's choice is the right one."

Afterwards, the members of the conservative faction left.

Salo Uth finally had the opportunity to ask about Aloof and the others. He also called Gothner and Clitz, who were promoting themselves outside, to introduce them to Green's wife.

Like Salo Uth, Clitz was completely taken aback. He never expected that Green, who was originally a human, would have so many wives. Not only that, compared to his own kind, their looks were incredibly stunning.

Even as a skeleton, he couldn't help but feel envious.

No, it was more like extreme envy.

In contrast, Gothner didn't show much emotion. Perhaps all he could think about was food.

Since following Green, Gothner's appetite had decreased significantly. When asked about it out of curiosity, Green replied, "I become stronger as long as I eat good food. But now I should be strong enough, so it's okay to eat less."

After obtaining the energy of the Heart of the Universe, Green couldn't wait to develop this power further.

He quickly told Clitz and the others about how he had consumed the Heart of the Universe.

Clitz was stunned when he heard it.

"Heart of the Universe... You mean that stone-like thing can be eaten?"

"Yes, it can be eaten. Only by consuming it can you fully absorb the energy inside."

"This..."

Clitz couldn't accept it. He had spent a long time trying to absorb energy from the Heart of the Universe, thinking it required time to adjust, but he never expected that eating it directly would work.

If he had known earlier, he would have forcefully stuffed the entire Heart of the Universe into himself.

Unfortunately, there is no second chance in a demon's life, and Clitz could only suppress the regrets in his heart.

Salo Uth was slightly surprised, not expecting that absorbing the Heart of the Universe could be so simple.

As for Gothner, his first question was about the taste of the Heart of the Universe.

After Green told him that the Heart of the Universe had a unique texture but was tasteless when eaten, he immediately lost interest in it and muttered quietly, "It's not delicious after all."

But compared to the shocking method of "eating" it, everyone was more concerned about the changes that occurred after Green consumed the Heart of the Universe.

"At the moment, I feel a kind of vague consciousness that I can't describe in words. But I feel like I can do things that I couldn't do before just by following my instincts, like..."

Green lightly tapped in the air and a teleportation portal appeared immediately.

"Just like this, even without using a violent method, I can effortlessly open a spatial channel, and it feels like I am allowed to do so by the world itself."

"Wow..."

Saro Uth looked amazed at this scene, and with his abilities, he could indeed perceive the profoundness of it.

Usually, around a spatial rift, there would be violent energy disturbances, but the open portal created by Green had none, which meant it was much safer than forcibly opening a spatial rift.

Watching this scene, Clitz suddenly thought of something, and his dark eye sockets flickered.

"Green, can you keep this kind of spatial channel open?"

"I'm not sure, why are you asking?" Green replied.

"Just now, I suddenly thought of something. It's about the teleportation gates between the various cities in the Demon World. Although they are convenient to use, maintaining them requires a lot of manpower, financial resources, and materials. The most crucial issue is that their safety cannot be said to be particularly stable. So I was thinking, if we can use the spatial channels you open instead, would it make this aspect better?"

"Oh?" Upon hearing Clitz's idea, not only Green but also Saro Uth and Gothner showed surprise expressions.

"I didn't expect a skeleton like you to come up with this idea. You've impressed me," Green said.

"It does sound good," Saro Uth added.

Receiving approval from the two, Clitz suddenly froze and felt an unprecedented experience in his heart, a mix of happiness and something even more profound.

"R-Really... If I can help Green, that would be great."

Clitz's bony finger unconsciously touched his skull. Although he was a skeleton, he looked like a shy little boy at this moment, without the terrifying aura he had before.

Green nodded repeatedly, indicating his agreement.

"Then let's experiment with it later. I think it should work."

"Really? That's great!"

Green had an intuition that maintaining this spatial channel wouldn't be difficult, after all, the magical and powerful nature of the world's origin energy far exceeded ordinary people's imagination.

Even superpowers and magic were just derivatives of it.

Moreover, if they could really do as Clitz suggested, not only would the safety hazards of the teleportation gates be greatly reduced, but they could also save a lot of manpower, financial resources, and materials to be used in other areas.

The most important thing is that, in terms of releasing consumption, Green believes that even in some remote places in the demon world, it is possible to establish connections with populated areas, after all, there is no need for any cost.

If everything goes as planned, the transportation in the entire demon world will become more convenient.

As soon as Green had shown Aloof and the others around the general situation of the demon world and introduced their identities to various forces, he temporarily sent Aloof and the others back to the human world.

After all, there is not much need to stay here in the current state of the demon world.

Green plans to settle in the demon world with them after improving it. Compared to the human world, this place is definitely safer and more secluded.

"Elsa, let's go. Let's start with this city."

"Okay."

The only one who stayed behind was Elsa. She was originally a demon, so there was nothing to say.

After Green and Elsa arrived at the teleportation gate of this Demon Lord City, it naturally attracted the attention of many demons. After the news spread, and coupled with the fact that Green did not deliberately conceal his aura, it was very easy for the demons to recognize that Green was the newly crowned Demon Lord.

The former three Demon Lords also followed behind Green, making it hard for the demons not to notice.

When they saw the group of people approaching the teleportation gate and blocking the area near the gate, many demons looked confused and puzzled, and some were dissatisfied.

Although they knew that they were Demon Lords, Demon Lords in the demon world were more like leaders guiding the development of the demon race, rather than simply oppressing ordinary demons like bullies. Ordinary demons were more like the subjects of the Demon Lords, and the relationship was not a purely hierarchical one.

Therefore, it was normal for some demons to be dissatisfied when they saw Green and the others occupying the teleportation gate.

Especially when they saw Gothner blast the teleportation gate with a Demon Lord Bullet, the surrounding onlookers became even more restless.

"Hey hey hey!! Lord Gothner, what are you doing?! Those are the teleportation gates for several cities!! How are we supposed to move quickly between cities without them? It takes a lot of time to rebuild them!!"

"Yeah, even if you are the Demon Lord, you shouldn't do such absurd things, right?"

"At least take care of us ordinary demons who don't have the ability to travel long distances!"

"……"

Upon hearing the dissatisfaction and questioning from the crowd, Gothner scratched his ear and completely ignored them.

This was Gothner's Demon Lord City, so naturally there was nothing to be afraid of. These demons might be dissatisfied, but they wouldn't dare to cause trouble. Moreover, he wasn't doing anything wrong, so he had no psychological pressure at all.

The others didn't react, only Clitz felt anxious when he saw the dissatisfaction of the crowd.

After thinking for a moment, Clitz spoke to the surrounding crowd:

"Members of the demon race, please calm down."

The words of the Demon Lord were still very persuasive, even though the demons were very confused in their hearts, they instantly quieted down, which was unexpected for Clitz.

He rarely talked to members of other races outside of his family, especially here in Gothner's territory.

This surprised him. The authority of the Demon Lord was much greater than he had imagined.

After the demons calmed down, Clitz didn't keep them in suspense and quickly explained what they were going to do next.

When they heard that the old portal was going to be dismantled and a new one was going to be built by the Demon Lord Green, the faces of the surrounding demons immediately went from dissatisfaction to joy.

Not for anything else, just because Green was the Demon Lord.

They didn't know the details before and were worried that the Demon Lord would mess things up.

But now, after hearing Clitz's explanation, they felt much more relieved.

Especially since it was Green the Demon Lord who took action, it made the demons feel even more at ease. Even though they were all Demon Lords, they were perceived differently in their hearts. The more powerful the Demon Lord, the more trustworthy they were, at least in their eyes.

After Clitz finished his explanation, Green cooperated and rebuilt the portal.

In the astonished gaze of the surrounding demons, Green gently tapped his hand in the air, and a huge circular portal appeared in the original location of the old portal, giving off a completely different feeling.
