Qin Chu was sowhat curious now. Given that he was determined not to go to the God Abandoned Continent, what could that despicable Fate Goddess Moile still do to force him to go there?
The slightly odd smile on Qin Chu’s face aroused Atreus’s suspicion; she couldn’t understand why her master would have such an expression.
"It’s nothing. Continue," he said.
Atreus nodded slightly: "In short, each generation of Demon Kings is desperately researching how to take Demons out of the God Abandoned Continent to a world where normal lives can survive."
"Each new Demon King gains incredible strength in a short period and possesses the power to suppress other Demons."
"But, the lifespan of each Demon King is very short. While it would seem that reaching the strength of a Demon King should negate any pressure to survive for hundreds of years, they often die within a few decades for various reasons."
"My father, Demon King Nage, is actually one of the longer-lived among these Demon Kings; he is the Seventh Generation Demon King."
"He might be the most capable one after the First Generation Demon King; he already had Demigod Level strength before becoming the Demon King. The Sixth Generation Demon King didn’t abdicate willingly; rather, he felt that the Sixth, his father, was simply too foolish. So he killed the Sixth and usurped the throne to beco the Seventh."
"Perhaps his talent is indeed astonishing, or maybe it is an accumulation of the research of the previous Demon Kings, but he quickly found a way to let the Demons leave the God Abandoned Continent."
"The Demon Lair?" Qin Chu raised an eyebrow.
In Qin Chu’s eyes, the so-called Demon transcendence was like a spatial transmission array connecting the Sky Do Continent with the God Abandoned Continent.
Through this transmission array, Demons can easily depart from the God Abandoned Continent and descend upon the Sky Do Continent.
"Yes, the Demon Lair," Atreus confird with a nod.
"Demons inherently worship the strong. There was no significant abhorrence of Demon King Nage’s usurpation. Furthermore, with Nage’s developnt of the Demon Lair, at last, Demons saw the hope of leaving the God Abandoned Continent, which led to increased reverence for the Demon King."
"After the research succeeded, Demon King Nage quickly set about constructing the first Demon Lair’s portal on the God Abandoned Continent."
"On this side of the Sky Do Continent, the Demon Lair appears as an imnse dark purple circle, but on the side of the God Abandoned Continent, it is an enormously grand building. The construction of every Demon Lair requires a trendous amount of effort."
"Moreover, the Demon Lair isn’t sothing that can be activated indiscriminately; opening it each ti requires a considerable amount of energy."
"Thus, even though the first Demon Lair was activated for the first ti a hundred years ago, over ti, as Demon Lairs increased in number, a hundred years have passed on this side, and the Demons have multiplied for several generations, yet not all the Demons have transferred from the God Abandoned Continent."
"Initially, there were not enough Demons, and at the beginning, the Demons even attempted to integrate into human life, but clearly, except for the very few whose appearance does not differ much from humans, the vast majority of bizarre and aberrant Demons could not be accepted, so the first Demons to sneak into the Sky Do Continent were very cautious to hide."
"Only about a decade ago did the number of Demons reach a certain level, forming a sufficiently powerful threat, that they launched an attack on humanity."
Atreus stopped there, having spoken in one breath, and took a deep breath.
Since Atreus was born in the God Abandoned Continent, she knew about things there. In comparison, those creatures from Diaberic are the offspring of Demon King Nage with his consorts after arriving here.
This exchange indeed revealed a lot of significant information from Atreus’s mouth.
As they continued their conversation, Qin Chu and his group kept moving towards the Royal City of the Ice Duchy.
The severe ice and snow significantly hindered their pace, and it was uncertain how much ti had passed when a city almost completely buried under snow appeared before them.
This was no longer an area where humans could survive.
The city walls were covered in ice and snow, with no Guards keeping watch on top.
Any normal life would be frozen into an icicle in no ti in such bitterly cold conditions.
Even the city gates were tightly closed, half-buried in snow.
This could not stop the group, who easily crossed over. Inside the city, every household’s doors were tightly shut, relying on walls constructed of stones to fend off the relentless cold seeping in from outside.
The streets were even more silent, with nothing but the sound of snowflakes falling and their footsteps on the ground.
Instead of calling it the capital of a Duchy, it was more like a city that had long since died.
At first glance, it was shrouded in silver, almost devoid of any other color.
And it was clear to see that the economic living conditions of the Ice Duchy were very poor, with most buildings low and humble, unlike the grand and luxurious structures of the Imperial Palace.
Thick smoke billowing from so rooftops was evident that fireplaces were burning inside the houses, though the dense black smoke would also quickly be engulfed by the heavy snow.
Antasia’s little fists clenched subconsciously. The snow was simply too exaggerated; even in the coldest winter, it would not be as astonishing as it was now.
