Red Boy hesitated for a moment and said, "You can take this Armor with you, and I can help you a little, but you must promise me one thing."
"Sure, go ahead. As long as it's something I can do, I'll do my best," Wei Chen replied.
"It's simple. You put on the Red Demon Armor and go fight the Soul Devouring Beast. I'll be responsible for absorbing their souls to continue growing. If not, I'll be hungry, and that won't be good!"
Red Boy looked at Wei Chen with a clear threat in his eyes.
Feeling threatened by a child like this made Wei Chen feel extremely frustrated, yet he found himself at a loss for what to do.
He had already perfectly merged with the Red Demon Armor; what could they do to him? At worst, he could hide inside the Red Demon Armor and continue lurking, leaving that precious Armor without any share for Wei Chen.
Wei Chen knew that those who achieve great things are often flexible; he had to compromise in this matter.
"Alright, I promise you. I'll go fight the Soul Devouring Beast as soon as possible."
"It's a deal. If you can't do it, I'll absorb your soul. You don't mind, right?"
Red Boy continued to threaten Wei Chen. Wei Chen forced a smile and nodded in agreement, saying, "I don't mind. If I can't do it, you can do whatever you want."
"Good. I'm going back now. Don't look for me unless it's necessary."
Red Boy gave Wei Chen a deep look filled with menace before vanishing into red mist; he had already entered the Red Demon Armor.
Wei Chen took a box and carefully disassembled the Red Demon Armor, packing it piece by piece into the box. He held it gingerly and said to the Demon Lotus Emperor, "Let's go. Why are you still standing there?"
The Demon Lotus Emperor transformed into a gust of wind and disappeared from sight, diving into Wei Chen's Sea of Consciousness.
"Child, that Fellow is definitely a tough character. No matter what, you need to act wisely and try to control him so he serves you. Otherwise, his demands will only increase in the future, and you'll find it hard to keep up," the Demon Lotus Emperor communicated telepathically.
Wei Chen nodded and transmitted, "I understand. I won't let anyone ride on my head and take a dump, no one!"
The Demon Lotus Emperor replied, "That's for the best. Once you fully merge with the Demon Lotus Heart, your Mental Strength will be exponentially stronger than it is now. At that point, he will be like fish meat in your palm; you can cut him however you wish."
"Demon Lotus Heart? Are you saying that I haven't completely merged with the Demon Lotus Heart yet?" Wei Chen frowned.
"Of course not. Your strength is too weak; how could you possibly fully merge with the Demon Lotus Heart?" The Demon Lotus Emperor's tone was laced with disdain. Wei Chen shook his head in frustration. What was going on? Why did everyone seem to look down on him?
"Demon Lotus Emperor, what level of strength do I need to reach in order to merge with the Demon Lotus Heart?"
"You need to reach the Infant Demon Realm, specifically the sixteenth level of the Warrior's Thirty-Six Levels. You can achieve this in the Demon Realm or by going to the Upper Realm of Soul World to cultivate your elemental power and reach the Infant Demon Realm."
"Alright, it seems I won't be able to do that in the short term."
"Not necessarily. Time flows quickly in the Demon Realm while it flows slowly in Soul World. You don't need to worry about the crisis in Soul World for now; focus on improving your strength in the Demon Realm first. That's more important than anything else."
The Demon Lotus Emperor paused before continuing, "In fact, you might even consider directly devouring that child. If your soul merges completely with his, you would become a version of the Red Demon Armor. At that point, not only would you be invincible, but you'd also be able to face any crisis calmly and escape without any issues."
"Devour?"
"Exactly. Just directly consume that Fellow's soul. When you perfectly merge with the Demon Lotus Heart, your Mental Strength will be immensely powerful. I will teach you the technique of devouring."
Wei Chen fell silent.
Although he harbored some hatred towards Red Boy for causing harm to his ancestors, that was an event from tens of thousands of years ago. No matter how one looked at it, it didn't warrant a death sentence.
Regardless, Wei Chen had always been a compassionate person with a kind heart; he wouldn't engage in acts of cruelty.
Unless one is a truly heinous person, they would not easily strip others of their right to exist. Especially when it comes to the Soul Body of the Red Demon Armor, the Red Boy, and Earth's Creation, which took hundreds of thousands of years to form—how could one casually deprive someone of their right to live?
Wei Chen did not want to do that.
If he could control the Red Boy and have him do his bidding, over time, he might be able to atone for his past mistakes.
Even knowing that devouring the Red Boy would be beneficial for him, Wei Chen was still unwilling to take that path.
It seemed that the Demon Lotus Emperor sensed Wei Chen's thoughts and said with a tone of exasperation, "My child, how can I help you? You are kind-hearted, yet this Fellow of yours is anything but; he is a villain with a heart as black as coal. If you are merciful, you have certainly killed your fair share of people, haven't you?"
"If I had to describe you in one word, it would be 'womanly compassion'! Yes, that's right—womanly compassion! You act like a woman, fussing over trivial matters. Those so-called good intentions are unnecessary and will only bring you harm rather than benefit."
The Demon Lotus Emperor harshly criticized Wei Chen, filled with helplessness.
Wei Chen defended himself, saying, "Demon Lotus Emperor, you are not human; you wouldn't understand human nature. If everyone were like you, what chaos would this world descend into? Ignoring others' lives for one's own goals and denying them basic rights to exist—does that even qualify as being human? To easily strip others of their existence for personal gain—what does that make one? Unless they are truly wicked beyond redemption, there is no reason for anyone else not to exist."
"I have always believed that existence itself is justification. What do you think?"
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, the Demon Lotus Emperor pondered for a moment before sighing, "Do as you wish. My words are merely suggestions; the rest is up to you. I don't care how you proceed as long as you grow stronger and return to Huaxia with your mission to help the demon race gain some power."
"Just like you said, everyone has the right to exist. What about the demon race? What about those demons with human consciousness? Must they all become sacrifices?"
The Demon Lotus Emperor sighed again and continued, "Work hard; your opportunities are unprecedented, but so are your dangers. Everything depends on your own efforts. As long as you strive, everything—your goals and my aspirations—can become possible. The Demon Realm is the best testing ground. That Fellow wants you to defeat the Soul Devouring Beast; its absorption of Spirit isn't necessarily a bad thing for you."
"What exactly is a Soul Beast?"
"When you meet the Dark Mage, just ask him yourself."
...
Wei Chen slowly emerged from the secret chamber while holding the box containing the Red Demon Armor. He closed his eyes and extended his consciousness outward, sensing the presence of the Dark Mage and Yan Qiqi before heading in their direction.
"Girl, this piece of Black Gemstone is a product of the earth's creation. What exactly it is, even Grandpa doesn't know, but having it with you brings many benefits. The most basic one is that it can preserve your youth. You girls like this kind of thing, right?"
"This pill is the Thirty-Level Resurrection Pill. As long as you still have a breath left, it can restore your life. If you take it at a critical moment, it can save your life. Of course, Grandpa hopes you never have to use it. You're very safe in the Demon Realm; nothing like that will happen. But Wei Chen has his mind set on the Soul World, and he will definitely want to go back. What happens after that is beyond Grandpa's control. Keep it well; it might come in handy."
"This is a Thirty-Sixth Level Snow Lotus. It can eliminate all poisons; no matter how toxic the poison is in any Spatial Plane, it won't harm you. You should refine and absorb it now; it's better to do it sooner rather than later."
"This item is a garment made from Dragon Tendon compressed into threads. When you wear it, ordinary weapons won't be able to harm you."
"And this Fire Stone is a product of the underground essence fire. You from the Golden Dragon Clan have a balanced affinity for the five elements, and fire burning is one of your Divine Skills. Find some time to refine and absorb it; in the future, when you transform into a dragon, both the quantity and temperature of your fire breath will increase significantly."
"This sword was left by our ancestors from the Black Magic Clan; it's suitable for women. Take it with you. In your human form, you can also use this sword to slay enemies. This sword is named Cold Autumn's Gaze; it's a Water Attribute Weapon of the Thirty-Fifth Tier and is considered one of the famous swords in the Demon Realm."
...
The Dark Mage continuously stuffed items into Yan Qiqi's hands. On her wrist was a bracelet; Wei Chen sensed that it was a spatial artifact due to his Spatial Martial Soul. Everything the Dark Mage gave her was quickly packed into that bracelet.
No matter what the Dark Mage offered her, Yan Qiqi accepted without hesitation, sweetly thanking Grandpa after each item.
The Dark Mage introduced each item with great seriousness, and Yan Qiqi listened intently. They were both enjoying themselves so much that they didn't even notice Wei Chen's arrival.
Wei Chen stood aside, watching Yan Qiqi become a wealthy recipient of gifts, feeling an intense jealousy in his heart. How could his own grandson be outdone by his granddaughter-in-law in terms of treatment?
For quite some time, under Wei Chen's watchful gaze, Yan Qiqi received numerous benefits while the Dark Mage showed no signs of stopping, continuing to fill her spatial bracelet with valuable items.
For Yan Qiqi, this was an unprecedented opportunity. Wei Chen chose not to interrupt and stood quietly aside, observing as the Dark Mage gifted items to Yan Qiqi.
Finally, after searching thoroughly, the Dark Mage found that there were no more items above the thirty-tier level to give Yan Qiqi and decided to stop.
Wei Chen coughed a few times to announce his presence.
"What's with the coughing? Do you think I don't know you're here?" the Dark Mage exclaimed angrily.
Upon hearing this, Yan Qiqi turned around in shock. Seeing Wei Chen, she flew into his arms like a bird and proudly introduced, "Brother, Grandpa gave me a space bracelet and a lot of treasures. I'll share them with you later!"
The Dark Mage's face darkened instantly. How could this girl be like this?
However, seeing how well Yan Qiqi treated Wei Chen brought comfort to the Dark Mage's heart. He thought to himself that he hadn't misjudged the person.
Wei Chen affectionately ruffled Yan Qiqi's hair and smiled, "The things Grandpa gave you are for you to keep. Follow Grandpa's advice and grow stronger so you can protect me."
Hearing this, the Dark Mage felt a headache coming on.
"What a disgrace! The esteemed Young Master of the Dark Demon Clan is shamelessly asking a woman for protection? What kind of person am I?"
The Dark Mage nearly jumped in frustration, but seeing the affectionate interaction between Yan Qiqi and Wei Chen calmed him down again.
"Grandpa, let's go! I want to hunt Soul Beasts!" Wei Chen said, looking at the Dark Mage with a smile.
"Soul Beasts? Child, how do you know about Soul Beasts? Those creatures are far more dangerous than magical beasts!"
The Dark Mage shook his head and firmly refused, "Grandpa does not agree to you going to the Soul Beast trial. This matter is non-negotiable."
