Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World

Carl stood on the street, slowly closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, a cold storm gathered around him, and a strange light flashed under his feet.

"Time and space distortion"

Carl waved his hands violently, and the air around him began to fluctuate violently. The space began to distort and gather towards him.

Of course, these are not real spaces, but just the space magic elements contained in the surroundings. However, they are hidden in all the gray area entrances in this area, and they will be exposed to Carl without any escape.

Then, the light under his feet burst out in all directions. This light became stronger and stronger, shrouding the surroundings in a dazzling brilliance. In the light, a brand new space gradually appeared. It was like a torn crack, leading to an unknown area.

Karl took a deep breath, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and said to everyone:

"That's it, move."

……

"Hmm~"

Galantina sat on a hill of corpses, her chest rising and falling slightly. Her beautiful eyes scanned the battlefield, admiring her masterpiece with satisfaction.

The corpses of Weilanti and Tangmen were everywhere, as well as the remains of war weapons. Yi Xiao lay beside the hill with his eyes wide open. His body below the head was in a state of disarray. It was unknown what kind of cruel torture he had gone through before he died.

"Hey~ Without you, the interrogation would be really difficult!"

She bit her lower lip, looked at Ying Li's inner elixir and sighed. As expected, she didn't find out anything. This was the place where the Tang Sect and Wei Lanti met inside the Gray Region.

Ying Li said helplessly: "Actually, it's okay for me to just use one "Ghost Embers", but you insisted on handling it yourself."

Standing up and stretching, Galantina looked at the pitch-black slums all around. This was the real gray area. It was hard to imagine that under this land of elves, there was still such a neighborhood of the old society tens of millions of years ago.

The stone road was winding, as if telling an ancient story. On both sides of the road, the mottled walls and wooden doors and windows revealed a sense of vicissitudes. The small shops on both sides of the street sold all kinds of strange weapons and props. Galantina would stop and observe every shop she passed by.

"Shopkeeper, do you have medicine for the resurrection of the dead?"

Galantina came to a pharmacy and stated her purpose as soon as she entered.

This remark attracted the attention of all the store employees and other customers. They subconsciously took a few steps back and some began to talk.

"no!"

The clerk waved his hands in disdain and looked at her as if she was crazy.

"Hey?"

Galantina had no choice but to accept the fact that they didn't have any and go to the next store.

"Boss, can the medicine here make people grow taller?"

"Yes! Take a look at this plate of vitamins, or this bag of milk!"

"Oh! No... the whole body is gone, grow a complete body!"

"Are you kidding me? There is no such thing in the world."

Galantina left dejectedly and went on to the next house.

"Boss! Buy..."

"Are you the psychopath from the drugstore? No, get out!"

……

"Grass!"

After asking every household, she found out that there was no so-called magic medicine that could bring the dead back to life. All she heard was a lot of sarcastic remarks. However, in order to repair Ying Li's body and not to alert the enemy, Galantina could only swallow her anger.

Ying Li thought for a moment and said, "It's too inefficient to ask door to door like this, and it's too easy to attract attention."

"Then what should we do? If I don't ask, do we expect them to tell us on their own initiative?" Galantina lowered her head in disappointment. Looking at Ying Li who only had one pill, she felt extremely anxious.

"There should be an auction house here, just like the one in Huiyuan last time."

"Eh? Yes!"

Galantina suddenly realized that this kind of good stuff would most likely appear in a highly profitable industry like an auction, and ordinary small vendors would have no chance of getting it!

"Let's go! Let's find someone to ask about the location of the auction!"

Grabbing Ying Li, Galantina ran impatiently to a roadside snack stand.

"no!"

As soon as the boss saw that it was Galantina, he rejected her sternly.

Galantina's face darkened, she punched the wall and said angrily:

"I'm not selling your sister! I want to ask where your auction is?"

This punch directly knocked down the already precarious low wall, and the boss was so frightened that he trembled and almost dropped the oil pan in his hand.

"I...you, you dare...I, I'm going to call the police!"

Snapped--

Galantina slapped a bank card on the table. The boss stopped running, his frightened face instantly turned into eager flattery, rubbing his hands and saying:

"Hehe~ I see. I didn't hear what you wanted just now. I'm so sorry! You want to go to the auction, right? There is a magic tower in the west of the city. The auction is there."

Galantina raised her lips and turned to leave. The boss just picked up the bank card with a smile, but the house behind him collapsed, along with all the buildings on the street. No one noticed that the giant blades that broke out of the ground returned to the ground after completing their destructive mission.

Ying Li: "Hey! Are you going too far? I mean no harm, there's no need to do that."

Galantina snorted coldly: "I have been scolded for the whole morning, this is not malicious?"

When we arrived at the west of the city, we saw a building that was very different in style from the surrounding slums. It was the Magic Tower.

Now Ying Li should be able to enter the Ghost King Realm area on the top floor, but unfortunately his body is gone, so he can't step onto the floor in person.

"Ding! A demon tamer at the Ghost King level has been detected. Hello, Your Excellency the Honorable Ghost King, welcome to the Gray Domain Branch of the Demon Tower!"

The detection device at the door made a sound, and the staff who were dozing off nearby rushed over in unison. Some of them brought trays to serve drinks and food; some cast buffing magic on Galantina to eliminate fatigue and refresh the mind; others came with various documents and started talking at once about promoting various magic weapons.

Ying Li was a little surprised that the Ghost King Realm was treated so highly in the Demon Tower. Galantina seemed to have heard Ying Li's thoughts and patted the surface of the inner elixir with a smile, as if showing off something.

"Where is the auction? I want to buy something." Galantina asked a waiter.

"Understood, please follow me!"

The moment Galantina expressed her intention, all the salesmen immediately withdrew. They knew that a wealthy woman who had the ability to compete in auctions would never look down on their small businesses.

"Wait, are there any good tasks recently?" Galantina added at Ying Li's instruction.

A waiter who had just left came back and said excitedly, "Please wait a moment, sir! I will deliver the task list to your auction seat later!"

So thoughtful?

Ying Li secretly clicked his tongue. This was simply like serving the emperor. Just stretch out your hand and get clothes and food, right?

Following the guide through several corridors, the ground gradually became lower. In this magic tower, not all floors were open. The entrance to the auction was in a special corridor, and one had to follow this path to enter the basement.

There are many works of art on display in the corridors along the way, most of which are from human and elven artists, and some are from demons.

Galantina stopped beside a star map, and the guide also stopped and asked with a smile, "My Lord, are you interested in this painting?"

It was Ying Li's intention to stop here, because he clearly saw a familiar signature - Avis.

This name is the abbreviation of "Aliovehes", which is a secret known only to the high-level demons and some great artists in the art world. The Star-Picking Demon Lord is also a famous painter.

According to Ying Li's meaning, Galantina said in a deep voice: "Please explain this painting, including the story of the artist."

The guide looked at the painting in surprise, thought about it secretly, and said:

"This Ahs... Actually, we don't have any real information about her, and we don't know what she looks like. We can only identify her based on the signature on her paintings. She is like a fictional character, but her artworks are indeed well preserved. Even the catastrophe did not destroy them."

"This Starry Sky Map was discovered by the Magic Tower in an ancient site on the East Continent. The strange thing is that everything there was destroyed beyond recognition, except for the artwork, which was intact."

Ying Li thought secretly: It must be her, she cherishes paintings as much as her life.

However, the guide seemed to be hiding something. He caught the subtle changes in his emotions before he spoke, and there was some unnoticeable hesitation while he was speaking, which was somewhat different from the calmness when he received Galantina before.

After crossing the last checkpoint, the two stepped into a venue with a completely different style from the previous one. Everything here seemed crystal clear and sparkling, like a high-tech crystal palace.

A waiter came forward to greet him, and after handing over to Galantina's guide, he asked:

"Hello. I am a staff member of the Gray Domain Magic Tower Auction. Do you have any items you want to bid on?"

Galantina said without hesitation: "Yes."

The other party nodded, handed Galantina an exquisite token and a mask, and told her:

"Your seat number is on the back of the token. You are in VIP room 3. After the auction, you will need to confirm your identity with the fingerprint on the token and complete the payment. Someone will come to you later to identify the item. Happy bidding!"

We followed the receptionist inside and stepped into the bustling venue. The entire venue was made of crystal, dazzling and bright, as if we were in a fairy tale world.

There is a huge crystal chandelier on the ceiling. It hangs in the air and emits a soft magical light, making the whole venue full of warmth and mystery.

The walls around are inlaid with crystals of various shapes and sizes, which sparkle with charming light, as if telling their own stories.

In the center of the venue was a huge auction table, on which were placed various rare items, each of which exuded an alluring glow, attracting everyone's attention.

But these are just appetizers. They are all luxury items commonly seen in high-end shopping malls in the outside world. Important goods must be auctioned off by the auctioneer himself.

In the venue, everyone wore masks to protect their privacy. Participants came from all over the world and from all walks of life.

There are nobles and wealthy businessmen wearing gorgeous dresses and holding wine glasses, there are warriors in military uniforms with a murderous aura, and there are also masters of demon taming who seem to be down and out but are actually hiding their talents.

"Wow~"

Everything here is mysterious and solemn. Galantina just feels that it is interesting and comfortable to stay here.

Unlike the last time at the Luo Ximu Arena, where the purpose was to spy on the enemy, he was picked on as soon as he entered and did not participate in the auction properly the entire time.

The general structure is the same as Luo Ximu, consisting of ordinary areas and VIP areas, but the service and environment here are really amazing.

Soon they arrived at their VIP box, and the receptionist bowed again before leaving with graceful steps.

As you enter the private room, you will see a task list neatly placed on the glass table, surrounded by a circle of soft red sofas. The room is brightly lit and beautifully decorated, giving you a home-like experience.

"What do you think our future home will look like?" Galantina suddenly asked.

"I don't know. Just get a better house that I can afford." Ying Li said lightly.

He thought about not being the unrivaled Great Demon Lord, but being an ordinary citizen of the demon clan. Naturally, he didn't want to live in a magnificent demon palace like in his previous life.

Galantina smiled: "Hehe~ Then you have to work hard~ I don't plan to rely on my family!"

"Ha! I don't like that in the palace either. Come on, just take a look at the tasks and wait for the auction to start."

……

In the northern continent, a hidden glacier——

Giant dragons lurk in the cold ocean currents, a large number of war machines are parked along the coastal areas, and the orc army has set up camp nearby.

A burly man walked alone on the cold ice field, carrying a majestic golden sword on his shoulder. He had a tiger head and a human body, was tall and mighty, with well-defined muscles, and was as solid as a mountain, which made people afraid.

"Marshal Tiger!"

As they passed by every position, there were layers of loud cheers. It was obvious that the orcs had great respect for this powerful and military-savvy tiger general.

Tiger stopped at the entrance of an ice cave and asked everyone around him, "She still won't say anything?"

"Yes, Marshal. We have tried all kinds of torture, but she is very resistant to beatings and her mouth is very tight." said a Minotaur lieutenant.

The defense here is even more strict, and almost all of them are elite soldiers at the early stage of Ghost King Realm. There are also dozens of high-level formations arranged for detecting vision, suppressing magic, anti-invisibility, and strengthening blessings.

"Hmph! Keep torturing her. We have to get something out of her. We emptied the treasury to buy Weilanti's secret weapon in order to capture her. There is no way back now!"

"But the eternal night..."

A goat-headed mage looked embarrassed and wanted to say something, but Tiger interrupted angrily:

"Isn't what I said clear enough?!"

"I know I was wrong..."

The conversations of the people outside were all heard by the person imprisoned in the ice cave. In the dim cage, the person smiled playfully and said sarcastically:

“Hahaha…see what I said, are they the clowns? They took so much effort to capture me, and now they can’t do anything to me!”

Another voice sounded: "Hey! Auntie, you should take a rest. It takes a lot of energy to talk. They will torture you again later!"

"Come on! I, Han Jin, have been injured more than the fish that big cat has eaten. Are you afraid of this?"
