Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World

"Netherworld Crystal?"

Ying Li browsed through his memories. He had heard of this name before. It was a rare magical mineral that was produced on an island on the border of the empire. Now that the continent was divided, its existence was unknown. Why did the other party ask him to find this thing in a school?

Lu Ze: "That's right. But the thing is not in the school. You need to go to the library of that school to collect information. Only the library of Imperial Capital Senior College has clues about that thing, but the branch office there has been restricted by the school from entering important places such as the library, so we have no other way to get in."

"That's it..."

Lu Ze continued, "This thing is not only what we need, but also the key to restoring your wife's soul. You can also use the remaining magic weapon. I smell the scent of an uncivilized magic weapon on you."

"Oh? You mean... this?"

Ying Li took out the long-forgotten [Abyss Crystal], and the outrageous resentment on it was still there. Seeing its true appearance, even Lu Ze himself was shocked.

He nodded blankly and said, "That's what I smelled. I didn't expect you to have such a treasure. Do you want to sell it? I guarantee you can get a satisfactory price."

Ying Li refused without thinking: "No, it's only valuable in my hands."

The other party did not bother to argue any further and continued the previous topic: "Okay. Anyway, this thing can be made more valuable with the Dark Spirit Crystal as a supplementary material. If you plan to make it into your own magic weapon, then go find the Dark Spirit Crystal. The more the better."

"You just said that my wife also needs Nether Spirit Crystals. Can you tell me what that means?"

Lu Ze smiled and did not answer, but asked: "Then will you accept my commission?"

Ying Li glanced at Galantina, took the scroll, activated his magic power to draw out a strand of his own blood, and dripped it onto the magic circle drawn on the paper, and said in a deep voice:

"I, Yingli, accept the contract."

This is a contract concluded by rule-based magic, which will form an irreversible constraint on both parties. The cost of breach of contract is so heavy that ordinary people cannot bear it.

Lu Ze smiled with satisfaction: "That's great. You accepted the blood contract so readily. You should know the price of breaking the contract or betraying the client, right?"

Ying Li: "He died suddenly under the laws of the Great Dao."

"That's good to know. You are indeed someone that Alliance Leader Wang trusts. In fact, Alliance Leader Wang and Slanda had contacted me long before you came. They were very positive about you and said that you were someone who would bring hope to the Demonic Path."

"No need to waste time talking nonsense, you should continue." Ying Li glanced at Galantina who was still lying on the table.

Putting away the scroll with the signed contract, Lu Ze took out a mirror and faced it to Galantina. Behind the mirror were ten gems of different colors, three on top and seven on the bottom. He introduced that these were the gems representing the three souls and seven spirits of living things.

What lit up were Galantina's life soul, anger soul, love soul, and the most recent one, the evil soul brought to her by Zi Ting, representing the likes and dislikes of living things.

No wonder Galantina didn't listen to me before. She was expressing her likes and dislikes towards external things. When she encountered something that disgusted her, she would resist it, even if it was Ying Li's wish.

This is a good sign. Once her three souls and seven spirits are recovered, she will become a demon with a complete life and soul.

"This is the Soul Search Mirror. Please keep it. Every time you retrieve a soul, the corresponding gem will light up and tell you which soul you retrieved. It also has the ability to detect soul matter, which may be helpful for your next journey."

Lu Ze gave the mirror to Ying Li, and took out a token. There were some lightning, fire, and frost patterns painted on the black background, and the color was unified in purple. There was a chip embedded under the skin on the back, with the word Lu Ze written on it. He introduced:

"This is my token as one of the leaders of the Netherworld branch. If you meet my colleagues, the token will help you avoid a lot of trouble when interacting with them."

Lu Ze thought for a moment and added:

"Ah! By the way, since you are a friend of Alliance Leader Wang, let me say a few more words. Although there is no Holy Alliance in the Eternal Night, there are many powerful demonic forces such as the Dream Devouring Sect and the Red Palace, which are what the Holy Alliance calls "demon cults."

"In addition to these obvious forces, don't provoke those seemingly insignificant secret forces, such as us."

"Also, be careful of the Seven Deadly Sins, they are the secret agent organization of the Eternal Night Empire. You may be disguised like other tourists, but they know who you are besides yourself."

"Seven deadly sins..."

Before Ying Li left, he met with Branart once, and the Imperial Marshal also mentioned the "Seven Deadly Sins". Perhaps because of their different standpoints, in his description, the "Seven Deadly Sins" were a group of people with similar interests to Ying Li, and he also suggested that he go meet the "Seven Deadly Sins".

Brannet also mentioned "someone to be careful of", and his target was the "Ye Linlang" family that ruled the Eternal Night Empire. He said that one must not get involved in the royal infighting, which is simply an abyss of conflict that will not stop until one side is dead and the other is dead.

Ying Li quickly digested the information and was about to ask about Slanda's whereabouts and whether there were any ancient magic weapons nearby, but was rejected by the other party:

"The treatment of "Yu Ming" ends here. I have nothing else to say. We also have the right to protect Siranda's personal privacy, unless you join us."

"Slanda is your man?" Ying Li raised his eyebrows.

"Nonsense. Ah! No, why did I report you again? What a mistake. Please leave now, and let's get back to the relationship between customers and shop owners!"

Ying Li helped Galantina off the table, and when he reached the door he paused, grinned and said, "Hey, who knows... maybe we will have another relationship in the future!"

"Hmph~ You are just a demon general. When you come to the Netherworld, you can be a helmsman at most!" Lu Ze said with a sneer after Ying Li walked away, but then he thought that he seemed to have forgotten something.

"Wait... Why is a mere demon general so highly praised by that fellow Slanda? It seems... that fellow said that the cultivation level of this person named Ying Li is not real? Oh! Never mind, if he is not a demon general, then what else can he be? Could he be a demon lord? I don't want to think about it anymore!"

"Ah! You are out now, what's the situation?"

Zi Ting met the two people walking together, grabbed Galantina's little hand, and scanned her body with his delicate little nose.

Galantina smiled wickedly and bit Zi Ting's pink fox ear. "Of course it's okay!"

"Ouch! Don't bite my ear, it's a sensitive part!" Zi Ting said coquettishly with a red face, and hit the other person continuously with his pair of small fists.

It was just the beginning of Eternal Night, and one of the top priorities had already begun to take shape. Seeing his partner so happy, Ying Li decided to relax.

In his previous life, Ying Li spent his entire life on an endless path of spiritual practice. In this life, he wanted to come to this mortal world to experience the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of ordinary people.

"Binghe, this place is not suitable for sightseeing. Relax for a while before doing anything."

When asked this question by the usually cold Ying Li, Bing He thought she was dreaming at first, until Miao Miao pinched herself in annoyance.

"The Lord Demon is asking you a question!"

Bing He cried out in pain: "Ah! I, I was distracted. Speaking of sightseeing, we must go to the beach first."

The reason why Shuitian Port is named "Shuitian" is because the colors of the sea and the sky are similar and indistinguishable from each other, which often makes people swimming in the water feel like they are soaring in the air. It is an excellent experience both visually and tactilely.

The group headed south and arrived at the waterfront of Shuitian Port, where the sky was clear and the air was fresh.

Although the climate in the northern continent is extremely cold, the technologically advanced Eternal Night has an expensive product that combines magic and technology: the "self-regulating body temperature swimsuit". It is centered on an instrument that stores fire element magic, and the swimsuit alone can keep you as warm as a down jacket.

After taking a look at the price, Ying Li looked at Galantina, who was talking to him innocently, with some embarrassment. She didn't look like she had any money.

After thinking about it, he decided to use the magic flower petals on his body to weave a swimsuit. After all, as a purple flower demon, he has the ability to self-regulate body temperature.

"Here~from Lord Demon and his wife."

Just as she was about to cast a spell, Miao Miao handed over a pair of black boxers and a red bikini. Galantina consciously dodged the one that belonged to her.

"This... there's no need to spend so much money." Ying Li looked at the label on the swimming trunks, which had a series of "zeros".

Miaomiao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I have money anyway. Even if I spend it all, I still have my father as a backup. It will be easier for me to brag to others in the future that I am a female ghost who bought clothes for the Demon Lord."

"Alas! Where does this gratuitous vanity come from? Also, don't call me Demon Lord."

"Hey! Husband, you haven't changed into your swimsuit yet!"

At this time, Galantina and Zi Ting had already rushed out of the cabin locker room playfully, and Binghe also walked out of the men's locker room, wearing dark blue swimming trunks and a red and white life buoy, and lowered her head to fiddle with her goggles.

Galantina was wearing a three-point red swimsuit with very little fabric. Under the sunlight, her flawless white body showed off her enchanting sexiness, and countless people cast obsessed glances at her.

Zi Ting also has a hot and charming figure, with a protruding chest and a curved back. The purple swimsuit is covered with a thin layer of gauze, giving her a mysterious beauty, like a woman holding a lute and half covering her face.

"Oh, I'll go right away."

Ying Li's dull reaction made Galantina and Zi Ting a little annoyed. What young man wouldn't blush after looking at their bodies? Are you really a man?

"Hey! I'm asking you a question in secret. Is your man...normal in that aspect?" Zi Ting whispered.

Galantina looked at her with a wise look on her face: "What aspect? My man is fine!"

"It's, it's... "that" aspect!" Zi Ting blushed and gestured with his fingers.

"What aspect? What do you mean by just pointing at my butt?" Galantina was still confused.

"Shh! Keep your voice down, I'm afraid people will mistake me for a pervert!"

"Ugh?"

In the locker room, Ying Li had just taken off the coat woven with magic power when he saw his "Eclipse Sword" light up. It trembled, shone, and moved towards the south.

"It's resonance. There...are fragments of me!"

Ying Li walked to the window and stared at the horizon. The sky and the sea were indeed one color, but a different color appeared in Ying Li's eyes.

He put down his swimming trunks, took out his original clothes, sighed, and left the locker room silently.

Maybe this is my fate. I am destined to run around, either improving my strength or on the way to improving my strength, and I cannot stop for a moment.

Seeing a tall man in black walking out of the locker room, Galantina recognized the loner as Ying Li at a glance.

"Hey? Why don't you change your clothes?" Galanthe grabbed Ying Li's big hand and waved it.

Ying Li smiled bitterly and said, "Sorry, you guys go ahead and have fun. I have to go in that direction to find something. It's very important."

"No! I can't have fun without you, and you promised to take me with you wherever you go!"

"This……"

Ying Li looked back at everyone. They had all changed into their swimming gear, but none of them showed any dissatisfaction with his spoiling of their fun.

"Ghosts everywhere!"

"Ugh--"

Under the surprised gazes of the crowd, Ying Li put his arm around Galantina's slender waist and activated the Ghost Shadow Technique, and the two of them disappeared on the spot together.

Finally, he decided to give his followers a holiday and only took Galantina with him, who had volunteered to "work overtime".
