Having learned about the outer realm beings and the outer battlefield, Satan finally decided to calm his mind and focus on cultivation. At this mont, he already possessed strong divine power. After defeating the Father God, his ntal knots were untied, plus the benefits given to him by Bai Yan in his past life.
In fact, he was just a step away from great divine power.
Bai Yan also agreed with Satan's arrangent and gave him so advice. Of course, Bai Yan's advice was rely assistance, how far Satan could ultimately go depended on his own efforts.
...
Crossing the gateway between planes, Bai Yan returned to the first layer of the Abyss.
Standing beneath the altar, Bai Yan fell into deep contemplation.
Satan's words had indeed moved him greatly, and now that Satan had begun his seclusion, even if he wasn't in seclusion, he wouldn't mind Bai Yan subjugating the entire Abyss.
Bai Yan felt that it was about ti for him to start conquering the entire Abyss.
Once he decided, he would act imdiately. That was Bai Yan's style.
He was also very assured with handing the Endless Star Sea to Fu Chao and the others, but as for the Abyss, he needed to strive on his own.
Summoning the Nightmare Knights, Bai Yan imdiately crossed the teleportation gate between the first and second layers of the Abyss, arriving at the second layer.
The demon lord here was nad Soron, an old acquaintance of Bai Yan. They had once resisted the devils of Hell together and fought against the Divine Kingdom.
Although he greatly revered Bai Yan's strength, he had not directly pledged allegiance to him.
Perhaps it was his pride as a demon lord that stopped him, or perhaps he was waiting for a better offer.
However, during the ti Bai Yan spent in the Endless Star Sea, he had long forgotten about Soron. So when Bai Yan's presence appeared on the second layer of the Abyss, Soron imdiately appeared before him.
"Lord Bai Yan, what brings you here?"
Soron displayed a flattering smile, cautiously approaching Bai Yan and speaking to him.
Bai Yan, evidently not interested in wasting words, directly handed Soron a demon contract and smiled.
"Sign your na, and you beco mine."
Soron was initially stunned. He had waited for this day for so long, but it was surprisingly unceremonious.
After all, he was the demon lord of the second layer of the Abyss and had to maintain so dignity.
Seeing Soron's hesitation, Bai Yan suddenly emanated a terrifying aura, enveloping Soron within his god of demon presence.
Completely overwheld, Soron couldn't move under the pressure of Bai Yan's aura. Only the fear in his heart continued to grow.
"What's the matter? Don't want to sign? Then I'll have to ask if there's anyone among your subordinates who wishes to beco a demon lord."
The smile on Bai Yan's face gradually turned cold; he had no intention of further persuasion.
"I'll... I'll sign..."
Soron's heart trembled intensely, and his respect for Bai Yan's power grew imnsely.
Back when Bai Yan was just a level-six demon, he was able to save them from several level-nine devils. Later, he went on to flatten the Divine Kingdom, and now he could immobilize Soron with just his presence.
With such power, he dared not disobey!
Soron left his True Na on the demon contract, and the contract was established, marking Bai Yan's official start in conquering the Abyss and acquiring his first demon lord underling.
"You are the first demon lord to pledge allegiance to , so I will naturally grant you so benefits."
Bai Yan looked at Soron's reverent and expectant gaze, casually bestowing a demon energy onto Soron, helping him break through his current bottleneck.
Demon power advancent, like humans, is divided into early, middle, and late stages between each rank. However, due to the demons' intelligence, they do not precisely asure their power, generally only speaking in terms of levels.
Soron had actually been stuck in the middle stage of a level-nine demon for a long ti, and Bai Yan now helped him reach the late stage, naturally earning greater respect from him.
"Thank you, Master! Soron will surely serve diligently and loyally until death!"
Soron's pledge brought great joy among all his demon subordinates as Bai Yan's identity, known throughout the Abyss, had beco legendary from the battle where he toppled the Divine Kingdom, striking down the Father God.
Serving under such a legendary man was an imnse honor for the demons of the Abyss.
"Very well, have your adjutant return to pacify all the demons. You follow to the next layer!"
The Abyss, unlike Hell, which only had twelve layers, once served as a buffer zone between the Divine Kingdom and the Abyss. While Hell was quite extensive, it was not as large as the Abyss.
The Abyss had existed for much longer than Bai Yan's previous life, naturally amassing nurous layers, and it continued to increase non-relentlessly.
The consciousness of the Abyss required nurous sacrifices because it constantly expanded the realm of the Abyss. Without sacrifices, it lacked the power to enlarge.
Back then, Satan had battled from the first layer to the last, traversing a total of eighty-one layers. The first eighty were territories of other demon lords, and in so places, multiple demon lords resided on the sa layer.
For instance, the third layer of the Abyss, which Bai Yan next planned to visit.
Soron arranged everything properly and followed Bai Yan into the third layer of the Abyss.
Here, the demon lords consisted of two: a level-nine tank Fla Demon Tyrant and another, the level-nine magic demon known as the Void Walker, dubbed the "spell machine gun."
Back then, these two demons, too, were saved by Bai Yan from the hands of devils. So when Bai Yan appeared on the third layer, they imdiately hurried over to him.
The once arrogant Void Walker, who had looked down on Bai Yan when he was rely a level-six demon, had now beco a fervent admirer.
"Greetings, Lord Bai Yan. You have descended upon the third layer of the Abyss, do you have any commands?"
The enthusiastic Void Walker respectfully knelt before Bai Yan, who spoke little and directly threw a demon contract in front of him.
Without a second thought, the Void Walker imdiately signed the demon contract, becoming Bai Yan's demon servant. Likewise, the Fla Demon Tyrant also signed the contract, becoming Bai Yan's demon servant.
"Soron, explain the situation to them. I'm heading to the fourth layer now,"
Bai Yan gave them no opportunity for dissent, quickly leaving them there and leading the Nightmare Knights into the fourth layer of the Abyss.
Although the demon lord on the fourth layer was a stranger to Bai Yan, after Bai Yan devastated his demon castle with twenty thousand Nightmare Knights, he obediently signed the demon contract.
Only by then did Soron and the others arrive on the fourth layer.
"Soron, as usual, make things clear to him. I'm heading to the fifth layer,"
Bai Yan smiled at Soron, who had just arrived, and disappeared from his sight once more.
Looking at the ruined demon castle and the respectful fourth-layer demon lord who just sent Bai Yan off, Soron felt utterly overwheld.
The fifth layer was the Land of Blood Battle, but since the Divine Kingdom was overturned, the entire Hell fell into Bai Yan's hands, rendering the Land of Blood Battle obsolete, falling under the possession of a formidable six-winged Fallen Angel.
Of course, his fate also ended up as Bai Yan's demon servant.
The sixth layer…
The seventh layer…
The eighth layer…
It wasn't until the ninth layer of the Abyss that Bai Yan finally took a break, allowing ti for himself to rest and for the demon lords who had beco his servants to gain so self-recognition.
