Chapter 122: Chapter 114: Demon God’s Warning (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch of Reincarnation Pit)

After Emily was knocked away by Lette’s shield, the battle here naturally came to an end.

Lette cheerfully dispersed all his combat energy and wandered over to Flanders’ side.

Compared to Emily, who was tormented into a frantic state, Flander seemed at ease in her fight against Lilith.

It’s not that she’s stronger than Emily or that Lilith is weaker.

Instead, Lilith hadn’t taken action herself, but summoned a Nightmare Knight of similar strength to help fulfill the training purpose.

She still wandered outside the battlefield, constantly reminding Flander how to respond.

Seeing Lette coming over, Lilith waved her hand to stop the Nightmare Knight and came over with a sly smile.

"Did you make Emily cry?"

"No such thing."

"Come on, I could hear Emily’s cries of despair from so far away. When will you ever learn to show mercy?"

Lette pondered for a moment, "But, I’ve already been merciful."

"I know, but even showing mercy has its... never mind, why am I, a Demon, teaching you human diplomacy?

Go on, bully her. She’ll probably take revenge."

Lette was indifferent, "Flander, how’s your practice coming along?"

"To report to Your Highness, I’ve become increasingly adept at using the Magic Ring."

"Very good, you can later try to simultaneously operate other Magic Rings and merge them with the Light Magic Ring. This will significantly enhance your combat capability by leaps and bounds.

But keep in mind, you need to familiarize yourself with other Divine Curses and Spells.

This is real skill built through hard work, even if you have to memorize by rote.

Otherwise, even if you get access to these Light Magic Rings, you won’t be able to use them."

Flander nodded repeatedly, "Rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely work hard."

"See, how diligent and sensible she is, while someone else always likes to defy and act arrogantly with a bit of skill!

Is it wrong for me to target Emily, to grind down her temperament?"

Lilith raised an eyebrow, "Now you’re feeling the pain your two teachers felt back then, right?"

"No!"

Lette’s response was unequivocal, "I’m much smarter than Emily. At least I learn effortlessly, practice efficiently, win easily."

"Doesn’t that make you more troublesome?"

Lette pursed his lips, "Speaking of which, it’s about time, we’d better leave the dream realm."

Flander was confused, "Why, Your Highness? I think I’m still fine, still capable of continuing!"

"By the time you feel incapable, it would already be too late."

Lette waved his hand, causing the surrounding environment to change dramatically, making the three appear as if they were in deep waters.

"Ordinary people enter the dream realm unconsciously, sometimes akin to drowning.

Entering the Gap of Dreams like us is actually like prepared diving.

The capable can dive deeper, swim farther. The less capable reach their limits after a short while.

But you must understand, regardless of capability or skill.

You must leave yourself the oxygen to return to the surface from the depths.

Diving deep is no skill.

You have to dive down and swim back up.

Otherwise, it’s not diving but suicide.

Now, the place we’re actually in is the shallowest area of the dream realm. Similar to being able to surface by looking up.

So when Emily just exhausted her spiritual power, she could awaken immediately.

If it were a deep dream realm, she might suffer soul damage or even fall into an Eternal Illusion, never to return.

Flander, you must be careful when entering the dream realm yourself in the future.

Underestimating dreaming can be deadly."

Flander listened, blushing with fear, nodding repeatedly, "Rest assured, Your Highness, I will act with utmost caution."

"Very well, let’s go back..."

Lette was about to take the two back when he suddenly frowned and looked behind, causing the surrounding seabed illusion to shatter.

A black-red magic array appeared not far away, emitting a thick aura of hell.

Then, a gaunt Demon God stepped out of the magic array and knelt before Lette.

"Great Demon Lord, your humble servant Sifriman offers you the most sincere greetings."

Flander immediately tensed up, recognizing at a glance that this Demon God was one of the thirteen Demon Gods Lette had summoned at the Holy Tower.

Mainly because, compared to the other twelve ferociously robust Demon Gods, this gaunt, aging Demon God was far too conspicuous and distinct.

"I remember telling you not to appear in my dreams. Matters of the Demon Realm, find a way to notify Lilith first; she’s my spokesperson and more so my personal secretary."

Lette slightly furrowed his brow, "Bypassing ranks is not a good habit."

"Oh, my great Demon Lord, please forgive your humble servant’s offense. It’s just that this matter is immensely important, and once I received the news, I wanted to tell you nonstop.

As it happened, I sensed you happening to be in the Dream World, hence the intrusion."

Lilith was suddenly also intrigued, "What matter is so urgent?"

"My great Demon Lord, a prophecy has suddenly begun circulating in the Demon Realm that the Liar Demon is about to regain freedom!"

"Hiss!!!"

Flander didn’t know how serious this was, but it was the first time she heard both Lilith and Lette gasp.

Clearly, this matter isn’t trivial.

Lette hadn’t spoken to inquire when Lilith couldn’t help but ask, "When did this prophecy arise, does the prophecy mention when the lie will be broken?"

"Just recently."

"What recent?"

"The recently thriving prophecy, which indicates that the lie will be broken soon."

Demon God Sifriman stated, "Great Demon Lord, when you last summoned the thirteen of us servants, there wasn’t this prophecy."

Lette nodded slightly, "Any other details?"

"None, but many powerful Demon Gods and various factions have great belief in this prophecy. It feels, not like just a groundless rumor."

"Alright, I understand. It’s just a lie, nothing major. For now, your biggest task is to complete the tasks I’ve instructed you.

Has the Thirteen Level Tower been built?"

The Demon God nodded repeatedly, "It’s been built! It’s already finished! Ah, Demon Lord, I suddenly recall.

This rumor arose not long after we completed the tower’s construction and began to spread.

Do you think there might be some issue in it?"

"Impossible, go back and tell the other Demon Gods. The matter of Demon Ascension Tower must be executed properly. A mere lie can’t cause trouble.

Understand?"

"Yes! The might of the Demon Lord, ruling over the entire Demon Realm! We have never doubted your supreme authority! We will certainly do our utmost for the Demon Lord!

Welcoming the Demon Lord to the Demon World! Unity across all realms!"

"Alright, you may withdraw."

"Yes, Demon Lord."

The magic array from hell appeared beneath Demon God Sifriman, and with his figure, he vanished from sight.

Watching the direction he left, Lilith’s brows furrowed tightly.

"What should we do? If the Liar Demon is freed, it would certainly be troublesome."

Flander looked at the two in confusion, "It’s just... a Demon, Your Highness even commands Demon Gods, why be troubled by a Demon?"

Lette glanced at her, rubbing his chin.

"You are to lead the New Church in the future, so let me educate you a bit.

You know of the Holy Light Goddess, right?"

"Of course, I know!"

"Do you think the Holy Light Goddess is powerful?"

"She’s obviously powerful! She is a God!"

Lette gave a slight smile, "Gods have differences in strength. For better distinction, a ranking system was made for Gods, similar to warriors’ bronze, silver, gold, and mages’ microstar, bright moon, brilliant sun."

Flander was immediately intrigued, "Oh! Then... what divine rank is the Holy Light Goddess?"

"Aphra, for instance, relies on laws to exist and is called a God of Law.

Since the war among the Gods, she’s been very proactive, diligently managing the Holy Light Church, continuously enhancing her divinity through the Power of Faith by completing the Light Law.

She is now on the brink of promotion.

Her next stage is the Rule God.

Reaching this stage requires a certain degree of mastery over the laws belonging to the divine persona, as well as the ability to extend beyond a certain law, creating one’s own rules.

At this phase, the God itself becomes very powerful, capable of setting some rules beyond rationality and maintaining the operation of those rules.

Facing such a powerful entity, they no longer abide by common sense.

Flander nodded with understanding, naturally feeling a deep sense of powerlessness in facing a God who can set their own rules.

"Then... is there an even stronger Divine above the Rule God?"

"Of course, above the Rule God is the Divine Conceptual. Above the Divine Conceptual is the God of No Concept, which are the legendary Indescribable ones."

"Indescribable?"

"Yes, you can observe or perceive them, but you cannot describe or convey them to other individuals.

And if your willpower is weak, merely contacting them could pollute you, eventually distorting and mutating you. Such beings are extremely terrifying."

Flander gasped. The mere thought of such terrifying beings that influence you just by knowing about them made her scalp tingle.

But her curiosity was still insatiable, "Then, is there anything above the God of No Concept?"

Lette glanced at her, "There is, but it’s only theoretical."

"What is that..."

"It’s the Unknowable."

"Un... the Unknowable God?"

"Yes, it has already become challenging to include the Unknowable within the scope of Gods. If the Indescribable can still be sensed and recognized, then the Unknowable cannot even be cognizably recognized.

It might be that there is an Unknowable right now among the three of us.

So close, but we can’t touch it, nor can we detect it. Neither hearing, smell, touch, nor spiritual will, even the seventh sense or eighth sense can determine its existence.

The gap between us is enormous, unimaginable, so much so that we cannot even comprehend the Unknowable.

But the good news is, the Unknowable doesn’t harm us and has no effect on us.

We have no interaction whatsoever with it.

Truly, it simply doesn’t care."

Flander pondered, and seeing this, Lilith continued.

"However, becoming God isn’t the only qualification to touch the law, rule, concept, and no concept.

Or rather, becoming a god is but one path to reach these.

Some individuals with innate talent might reach heights unimaginable to others from birth."

Flander looked at Lette, "Is it Your Highness?"

Lette seemed displeased, "Hey, hey! I’ve worked hard for every step I’ve taken!

Lilith was referring to the Liar Demon.

He is a fearsome existence at the conceptual level."
