Norman Til said, “I don’t know what stories people have made up, there seem to be many versions? They say I studied with Him for a hundred days, right?”
Levin nodded, “Yes, yes.”
But Norman Til abruptly said, “Actually, that’s not true.”
Levin’s eyes widened, “It’s not?”
Norman Til nodded, frankly saying, “My contact with Him was at most a few seconds.”
“Ah?!”
Levin was dumbfounded.
“How should I put it… the mont our eyes t, countless pieces of knowledge exploded in my brain.”
“Exploded?”
No wonder Levin was startled. He had never heard of such a thing from childhood to adulthood.
No, knowledge exploding in the brain? The brain blossoming? Could one still survive that?
Norman Til nodded, “It really did explode, as if soone cast a super-grade fireball spell inside my brain.”
“…”
Levin was stunned speechless.
“At that ti, I truly thought I was going to die.”
“Maybe I really did die.”
Norman Til spoke casually, but Levin’s mind was already in turmoil.
What kind of experience was this?!
Norman Til suddenly rembered sothing and continued, “I finally understand where those hundred days you all ntioned ca from. That wasn’t the ti I spent learning from Him, but the ti I was bombarded with His knowledge and then lay dying on the ground, barely clinging to life.”
Huh?!
Levin’s eyes widened even more.
Norman Til: “To be precise, it was more than a hundred days. At that ti, I couldn’t even rember the passage of ti. That hundred days might have been sothing I casually ntioned later when dealing with the Alliance. I didn’t expect it to be misunderstood.”
“I-I see…”
Levin wanted to comnt, but he couldn’t find the words.
“So when I say I was a student… I don’t think I even spoke to Him.”
Norman Til spoke without reservation, “I only learned later from the elders of the Alliance that this was His unique teaching thod. Anyone who received His knowledge and managed to survive beca His student.”
“… What about those who died?”
Levin couldn’t help but ask.
Norman Til smiled and turned his face away, “Would there be any?”
Levin felt a chill run down his spine, sensing this was a terrifying topic.
If one couldn’t withstand it, their brain would likely burst open!
At this point, he didn’t know that “knowledge bombardnt” was Agares’ basic operation. The Abyss Lords suffered greatly from it when they were young, and unable to bear it any longer, they went to their father with tears and snot to strongly protest. Only then did Agares beco a bit more restrained.
Agares often didn’t know “moderation”. To Him, a knowledge quantity of 100 was sothing He could understand in the blink of an eye. However, for ordinary demons, that was enough to make their brains explode, because their brain capacity didn’t even exceed 100.
After recovering from his shock, Levin found that Norman Til was quite easy to talk to, so he continued to ask, “How did you co into contact with Demon God Baal… again?”
Norman Til’s eyes beca reminiscent as he slowly said, “That was a very painful experience.”
“Painful?”
Levin’s attitude at this mont, in Earth terms, would be described as addicted to drama, eyes wide open, eagerly awaiting more juicy details.
Norman Til: “I was critically wounded and on the verge of death after fighting the Evil Insect Tribe. He happened to pass by or sothing, and casually annihilated the Evil Insect Tribe.”
Levin was terrified by the word “casually”. What was the Evil Insect Tribe? Once upon a ti, they were a terrifying great tribe that wreaked havoc in this star region, almost destroying the entire human race. It was said that the Alliance had to exert trendous effort to successfully repel them.
Later, they suddenly disappeared without a trace for unknown reasons.
And the truth of history was that they were casually annihilated by Demon God Baal!
This history was too shocking.
Levin was still in a daze.
Norman Til continued, “To be precise, Demon God Baal saved , although I don’t know why.”
Levin barely ca back to his senses, “Didn’t He say anything?”
“At that ti, I was severely wounded and had lost a lot of blood. I couldn’t rember much, but I vaguely heard Him say…”
Norman Til tried hard to recall, “Agares’ student.”
Levin was shocked, “He saved you because you were Agares’ student?”
Norman Til shook his head. “It’s hard to say. Don’t you rember? Demon God Baal once fought with Agares, after which Demon God Baal went to the subspace, and Agares was said to have gone to the dream realm.”
Levin was stunned, feeling there must be quite a story behind this.
Demon God Baal’s love for war and conquest was well-known to all. Not just on the continent, but in all the star regions within sight, this was widely circulated.
But Agares was different. He was an Abyss Lord with a very gentle temperant, more like a highly intelligent deity than a demon.
In over eight thousand years, the number of tis He had truly taken action could be counted on one’s fingers. Yet suddenly, He fought with Demon God Baal. It was said that the aftershocks of that year’s battle affected the entire continent.
Isn’t that very intriguing?
Levin always felt that since the Abyss Lords all ca from the abyss, they should know each other, right? Could it be that they had so grudge from their ti in the abyss?
At this point, Norman Til chuckled, “Haha, don’t think too much about it. That’s not sothing you and I can know. Perhaps no one knows the reason except for Them.”
Levin paused, then nodded.
Norman Til: “Anyway, I was critically wounded and near death at that ti. I begged Demon God Baal for help. He probably found it troubleso, so He simply gave
a contract. That’s how I beca His contractor.”
This historical truth was really beyond expectation.
Levin paid attention to the details, “Why do you say He found it troubleso?”
“Just a feeling?”
Norman Til said: “He probably thought healing soone was troubleso.”
Levin took a breath, slowly digesting this in his mind.
A gust of wind blew past, causing the trees to rustle, bringing a bone-chilling cold.
“However, it seems Oedipus has so uninvited guests.”
Norman Til’s eyes turned cold as He stared at the distant cloud clusters.
Sothing was hidden in those cloud clusters.
They had co tracking the aura of the Goddess of Wisdom. Wary of Norman Til, they could only stop at a distance, hesitating to advance.
Levin’s eyesight was not as good as Norman Til’s, so he couldn’t see anything.
Norman Til gazed into the distance and said in a deep voice, “When Oedipus was attacked by the ten leaders, the Goddess of Wisdom intervened and transferred all the people in the Imperial City to the buffer zone of the subspace.”
“The Goddess of Wisdom is a certain ‘person’ in the Imperial City.”
“She took advantage of the ti when I was attacking the Divine Kingdom of Destruction to rescue the Goddess of Fortune, and then returned to Oedipus.”
Each of his sentences shocked Levin more than the last. He continued: “Your country is truly incredible. Not only does it have Abyss Lords residing there, but also a Goddess settled there, and that mysterious human ranked first is also in your country.”
Levin was choked up and honestly said, “I don’t know why either. Is our country’s geographical location special?”
“It’s hard to say.”
Norman Til spoke very cautiously, “With
here, they don’t dare to invade. And my main purpose for being here is to find the Abyss Lord Vassago and seek His help.”
Levin was silent for a few seconds, as if realizing that this was no longer a ti for casual conversation.
His eyes suddenly turned serious, “Is there anything I can do to help you?”
Norman Til shook his head, “I just walked around the Imperial City and had the elves search everywhere, but found nothing. Let’s wait a bit longer. Hopefully, we can find Him soon.”

anwhile, around the sa ti.
Justin called out to Buer, the owner of the domain.
He called once, no response.
He called twice, silence.
Luo Jie had already sat up, but Justin still couldn’t get through to Buer.
A full ten minutes passed, and the two heroes looked at each other.
Luo Jie: “No response. Is She sleeping?”
Justin was silent for a mont, then said. “It’s not impossible.”
They were in Buer’s domain, and without Buer’s permission, they couldn’t leave. Yet they couldn’t contact Buer.
Justin had just recovered, and his magic wasn’t flowing smoothly yet. How could he possibly open Buer’s domain?
They fell silent.
Luo Jie was also helpless, “I feel like… They each have their own issues, but it should be fine, right?”
Justin agreed.
Even if these two heroes didn’t get along, their years of tacit understanding was still there.
Why did they say they weren’t afraid no matter how much They ssed up? Because Their backup was none other than Demon God Baal. Dare we ask, could anything really go wrong?
“Oh well.”
Luo Jie shook his head, “It’s just a cat catching a mouse. It’s only a matter of ti before He’s caught.”
Justin: “He obviously doesn’t have many cards in His hand. He’s probably racking His brains right now.”
Luo Jie coughed once, “Let’s still be cautious. We still have four good friends in His hands. Who knows if He might use them to threaten us.”
Hearing this, Justin laughed, “Luo Jie, have you beco stupid?”
Luo Jie frowned, “What do you an?”
“We’re just locked in coffins, not dead. If He was truly fearless, why would He keep us locked up without daring to release us? Maybe our Brother Wang’s coffin lid can’t hold him down anymore.”
Justin’s eyes held a murderous intent, “Anyway, let’s just watch. We’re on ho turf, we’re out in the open. As long as we remain calm and wait patiently, He’ll be the one who gets anxious.”
Luo Jie paused, thought about it, and realized it made sense.
That behind-the-scenes manipulator had failed repeatedly, leaking information ti and again, being cornered by them, almost on the verge of having his true identity exposed.
And He didn’t have the absolute power to crush them.
Why should they be the ones getting anxious?
Justin said, “Moreover, even if Federi successfully absorbs the power of the God of Destruction, he still won’t be able to defeat our side at that ti.”
His confidence stemd solely from one existence.
That was Demon God Baal.
Luo Jie’s eyes changed, and he sat back down, smiling faintly, “Brother Xiu’s child is really too capable.”

anwhile.
Xiu Si had constructed a large number of walnut warships, walnut dragon and phoenix auspicious signs, walnut Forbidden City, and so on.
He had almost perfectly carved out all the scenes and shapes he could rember.
He was so focused that he lost track of ti, feeling as if he had entered an indescribably wonderful realm.
In that place, humans had no weight, only free-flowing thoughts, like a feather drifting in the wind.
When Xiu Si ca back to his senses, he felt refreshed. Looking at his experience value again, He was pleasantly surprised.
[Congratulations on leveling up! Your understanding of your profession has deepened.]
Xiu Si looked at the level 40 in his status bar and couldn’t help rubbing his eyes, because he doubted what he was seeing.
In the past, he had practiced desperately, day and night, neglecting food and sleep, and it took half a year to gain one or two levels. Now the leveling speed had finally quickened!
Now, after more than eight thousand years, he seed to be gradually reaping the rewards of his efforts.
Xiu Si was excited internally. He closed his eyes to sense the changes brought by leveling up. A few minutes later, he happily picked up the short-legged cat and said, “Celerios, Father has leveled up again!”
The short-legged cat had just been dozing off, but upon hearing this, it owed happily.
****
About half an hour passed.
The short-legged cat suddenly rembered that He needed to report important matters to His third brother!
“Huh? There’s Big Brother’s contractor outside?”
Vassago, woken up twice in one day, was about to ascend to heaven in frustration.
“He’s called Norman Til?”
The old demon who had been staying in the abyss for years knew nothing about the celebrities of the human continent.
Vassago frowned. “Contractors are troubleso. If Big Brother wants to, He can see the world through Norman Til’s eyes.”
“Wh-what should we do, ow?”
The short-legged cat trembled. He was already a timid demon, and becoming a cat made Him even more timid.
Vassago said in a deep voice. “It’s a bit troubleso. We can’t let him discover us.”
But there was a difficulty here. That was King Levin.
King Levin knew a bit about Their affairs. If he were to reveal this, Norman Til would surely find Them.
Father had already moved once recently, They couldn’t possibly make Father move again.
So what to do? Capture Levin and brainwash him? Good idea!
Vassago was about to take action as soon as He said it, but He quickly realized that this might not work.
Norman Til already knew Levin, and might have noticed sothing. If you make a move against Levin at this ti, what if Norman Til discovers it?
Vassago wasn’t afraid of Norman Til at all, what He feared were the eyes behind Norman Til.
The short-legged cat observed Vassago’s expression and nervously asked, “What should we do, ow?”
Vassago pondered, “Let
think…”

anwhile.
Buer hurriedly put on a white formal dress, not having ti for careful grooming, and only spent about ten hours on makeup.
Releasing Her magic power, the air automatically styled Her silver hair.
Buer looked at Herself in the mirror, left and right, feeling both satisfied and unsatisfied.
In the past, She would spend three months ticulously preparing for the Sisters’ eting. She never expected this one to be so sudden.
The sudden summons, She could refuse.
But as a demon who had never missed a eting in over eight thousand years, Buer felt a compulsive need to go.
Moreover, and most importantly, what if the Sisters’ eting discovered the problem?
At that ti, it wouldn’t be just one or two who knew, but a whole lot!
Imagine if they found out, Father would be surrounded by nothing but kitties! No matter how hard She tried to stand out, She couldn’t beat so many!
Buer felt a sense of mission, like She was fighting on the front lines of a revolution. It’s just a re Sisters’ eting, I, Buer, must overco it!
She was so excited that Her hair almost stood on end.
Just then, Her shoulder was suddenly tapped.
Buer was startled. What demon had suddenly appeared behind Her?
She jumped on the spot and turned to face the other party.
It was a woman wearing a black formal dress, with long forest-green hair, extrely beautiful features, and a beauty mark under the corner of her eye.
She asked curiously, “Buer, what’s wrong with you?”
Buer was stunned and nervously said, “Sister, I’m fine ow!”
“ow?”
