The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Moreover, she is truly unwilling to part with it. Although it’s not her private magical property, as the Greed Demon King, watching such a great amount of resources slip through her fingers is incredibly difficult. If she hadn’t been strong enough to resist being controlled by Demon Nature, she’d probably be biting a handkerchief, tears welling up in her eyes, and her heart bleeding profusely.

"I know you have the power to control the Demon Realm and the Demon Race, but have you considered that from the moment I ascended to divinity, the Lower Realm is no longer a place for us to linger? One day... and possibly not too far off... we will all leave this world and move to a higher dimension. I trust you, the seven sisters, but can I trust your successor demons?"

With his left arm around Ilya and his right arm around Liss, Lynn spoke earnestly. Meanwhile, Aya stood nearby, slightly envious. After all, Lynn was also her husband, yet she wasn’t in his embrace.

Thankfully, their relationship hadn’t been solidified...er, it should be "made concrete," so her jealousy hadn’t flared up, nor was it likely to explode. Had the second Demon King in sequence been her, no one would have benefited from this scene!

"Us? All leave this world?"

Upon hearing Lynn’s response, not only Ilya and Liss in his embrace but also Aya, standing between the two demons with a touch of envy, were simultaneously stunned. Even Hill, who was originally feeling sleepy and about to lie down somewhere, was instantly revitalized.

Leaving this world...

Her husband certainly wasn’t cursing them with death, but rather discussing the topic of achieving Demon Godhood with them.

However... it’s not that easy to leave. Not every demon is as exceptionally gifted and blessed by the gods as Lynn.

In the history of past Demon Kings, there were those who eventually achieved Demon Godhood, but the success rate was extremely, extremely low. Those who ultimately ascended to godhood as Demon Kings did not achieve the title of Demon God as Demon Kings. Most became Demon Emperors later on, seizing the resources of the Demon Realm, possessing extraordinary talent, and incredible fortune before succeeding.

Throughout the history of the Demon Realm, many Demon Gods have emerged, yet it’s remarkable for one or two to appear in a given era. It’s not uncommon for Demon God generations to cease for thousands of years without a single nomination.

Even if the current Seven Great Demon Kings think highly of themselves, each believing they possess the potential for godhood, according to historical patterns, estimating generously, having three of the seven sisters achieve Demon Godhood would be an unprecedented phenomenon.

They have indeed considered the future after becoming Demon Gods, but they’ve never imagined a situation where all of them would ascend to the Upper Realm, leaving no one in the Lower Realm.

Even if they entertained such thoughts, it was more about hoping that the Guardian Demon God or sisters who might become Demon Gods in the future would pull them into the Upper Realm when they were close to death and had given up hope of ascension, becoming long-lived or even eternal slackers.

What Lynn proposed, everyone leaving the Lower Realm simultaneously, is actually quite improbable.

Sisters who become Demon Gods would leave first, while those who haven’t succeeded in breaking through wouldn’t abandon the potential for ascension before aging and weakening by following them into the Upper Realm. Being chosen and received into the Upper Realm by a Demon God would shut off any upgrade opportunities; their levels would be locked the moment they’re brought in, never to rise by 1 level.

Therefore, unless they completely give up on ascending to godhood, no demon would immediately follow ascended sisters. They would persist, struggling in the Lower Realm until they’re hanging by a thread and not lose hope. Under such circumstances, their departure from the Lower Realm could be delayed by three to five thousand years, so Lynn’s remarks about unreliable succession demons don’t hold, as there would always be at least three sisters, at most six, persistently safeguarding multiple generations of Demons.

Then Ilya and the others explained this reality to Lynn, rendering him silent.

Indeed, he oversimplified things, instinctively thinking that as long as the family and demons could be happily together forever, it would be enough. He overlooked that his Demon King wives aren’t NPCs for him to arrange; they have their own thoughts and pursuits.

Although he isn’t entirely to blame, he was influenced by the Miracle World, where history never recorded mortals achieving godhood. Even the most gifted and resourceful, Helena and Xiya Silvie, had little chance of ascension on their own. Besides, only Hilvy, among his wives from that world, wasn’t raised by him, which led him to subconsciously feel that it would be splendid for everyone to ascend to the Divine Realm together.

However, the Demon Realm differs from the Miracle World; its world level might be far higher than that of the Miracle World. In Demon Realm history, mortals achieving Demon Godhood, as Ilya mentioned, was countless, including mortals ascending all the way to the level of True Demon Lord.

Lynn understood they possess autonomous godhood potential. Among them, his assistance increased each demon’s chance of ascension significantly, though he was merely a True God, lacking the capacity to elevate all of them to True Demon strength.

In prospect, if Lynn firmly establishes himself in the Divine Realm, he could bring to the Upper Realm only the Miracle World posse, at most, along with the Joyful Witches and Yili from the Demon Realm, while the Seven Great Demon Kings were evidently bent on relying on their own skills to ascend.

That is to say, they could maintain the stability of two worlds for a lengthy period. As for a long-term future, it’s not within his scope of consideration. By then, he and his family might have lived in the Upper Realm for thousands of years, while numerous generations proliferated in the Lower Realm. He couldn’t possibly protect the Miracle World forever; by then, it would be up to fate for the grandchildren.

Realizing this, Lynn refrained from further discussion, merely producing treasures quietly. Paying the initial installment with his own money was fine; after all, it was merely transferring from one hand to another, ensuring no loss or profit.

Some of his Demon King wives might need to guard the household for a long time, so he opted to leave them as much as possible, appreciating how arduous their task truly was.

He could pay the initial installment, but the treaty’s subsequent resources had to be provided. In their marital relationships, he tried to balance things as fairly as possible, but strategically, he leaned more toward the Miracle World.

No matter what, he remained a hero of the Human Race holding off demons for ten years. Though the demons he battled weren’t those of the Guardian Demon God faction, the current demon realm they enjoyed was nurtured through their ancestors’ plunder from many worlds, including the Miracle World.

Lynn didn’t believe the Demon Realm was wealthier and stronger than other Great Worlds from the start. Its growth was inevitably accompanied by blood and fire, so he didn’t mind if Ilya requested resources from other worlds under their governance, but the main resources of the Demon Realm couldn’t be left untouched, as they were originally absorbed from other worlds, now being extracted back.

"Continue paying the resources. I am, after all, the Miracle Saint Emperor, and before leaving, I must leave something for the Miracle World, especially since I will be taking the strongest batch of powers from this world. Consider it as a bridal gift."

Lynn might have said it lightly, but the Demon Kings listening inside his embrace and around him had small feelings stirred.

Originally, taking their money to support the Miracle World was excessive. Now, it was taking the Demon King wives’ money as wedding gifts for other wives?

If it wasn’t for the fact they owed their current status to Lynn’s support, they would certainly have protested.
