Hua Dongliang, who was standing to the side, was completely stunned.

No, you, a noble demon, where is your backbone? Where is your dignity?

Why did you kneel down like that?

Vastel didn't feel ashamed at all.

In the Demon God Continent, the strong prey on the weak, and disobedience means death. Few demons are willing to sacrifice their lives for dignity.

If Hua Dongliang is stronger than him, he can also offer up the Soul Gem.

Vastel's gems weren't just one, but a whole bag.

Zhou Yi thought this guy was trying to fool him, so he randomly picked one and crushed it.

Vastel screamed in agony, sweat beading on his forehead and his face drained of all color.

"So it was true after all."

Only then did he acquire the Book of Changes.

Vastel is numb.

This stuff can be deadly; you can't test it like this.

However, with his life in the other party's hands, he dared not show any dissatisfaction.

Zhou Yi looked at Hua Dongliang and said, "Director Hua, do you have any backup plans? If not, I'll send you on your way."

A giant fireball appeared in his palm.

Sitting on the ground, Hua Dongliang desperately shrank back, shouting, "Zhou, Zhou Yi, don't do anything rash! I'm the deputy director of Bureau 749. If you dare to kill me, the country won't let you get away with it!"

"Not only you, but your family and your company will also be liquidated..."

His greatest asset is the demon lord Vast.

Now even Vastel has submitted to the Book of Changes; he has completely lost his composure.

Zhou Yi curled his lip, thinking that even if someone of this caliber were about to die, they would remain calm and composed even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of them. It seems that he had overestimated the other party.

"How about we make a deal? You know where these people on this list are, right?"

He threw a piece of paper in front of Hua Dongliang.

Hua Dongliang took a look and saw that they were all families who had participated in the siege of Zhou Yi.

He hesitated and said, "If I tell you, will you let me go?"

Zhou Yi nodded.

"What if I tell you you won't keep your word? Unless you let me leave first."

"Heh! What leverage do you have left to negotiate with me?"

Hua Dongliang gritted his teeth.

Damn it, better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.

"I can provide a partial list first, and then I'll give you the whole list once I've confirmed it's safe."

"good."

Zhou Yi readily agreed.

Watching Hua Dongliang's departing figure, Vaster asked, "Master, are you really going to let him go?"

He quickly got into character and immediately started looking at the problem from the perspective of the I Ching.

Zhou Yi chuckled softly.

He only promised himself that he wouldn't lay a hand on Hua Dongliang, but he never promised not to lay a hand on the Hua family. If someone else were to make a move, he couldn't control that.

Vastel immediately understood, "Master, rest assured, I will send someone to follow him and will absolutely not let him ruin your important plans."

Zhou Yi remained noncommittal, then turned to Xue Ying and said:

"Now we'll proceed in three steps: first, verify the information provided by Hua Dongliang; second, use Vaster's compass to locate those people."

As for the third, it naturally involves following Hua Dongliang's whereabouts.

That guy will definitely go back to their lair.

He has already cast a curse on Hua Dongliang.

Even if Vastelva loses track of him, Zhou Yi can find him.

To prevent Hua Dongliang from physically severing the curse like Ma Tianwei did, Zhou Yi not only tampered with his waist but also manipulated his heart and brain.

"Now, tell me about the Demon Lord behind you." Zhou Yi looked at Vaster.

Vaster hurriedly said, "His name is Moqiu, nicknamed the Fear Demon King. His special ability is to create fear illusions for others."

Zhou Yi interrupted, "How do you distinguish strength?"

"First-order physical enhancement, second-order mental enhancement, third-order energy infusion, fourth-order elemental manipulation, fifth-order brain domain opening, sixth-order soul sublimation."

"Upon reaching the sixth rank, one will randomly comprehend a special ability and also gain an aura, which is called the Lord's Aura in the Demon God Continent, so the sixth rank is also known as the Lord."

"The aura can suppress all low-level ability users. Within the aura's range, all ability magic is ineffective against lords. The Demon Hill belongs to this level, and each sixth-tier powerhouse is a local overlord..."

The next second, a black halo rippled out from beneath Zhou Yi's feet.

Is this it?

Vastel opened his mouth wide and stared wide-eyed.

This...this...

A sixth-tier lord?! My god!

Enveloped in the aura, he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and he couldn't muster any will to resist.

Only after Zhou Yi withdrew his aura did Waste collapse to the ground, panting heavily.

Like a docile kitten, it lowered its head, not daring to look directly at the Book of Changes.

He had just thought that Zhou Yi was only a few minor realms higher than him, but he never expected that Zhou Yi had actually reached the level of the Demon Lord.

The Book of Changes has already found the answer in Vaster's reaction.

This halo was obtained after his third fusion.

I just felt it was too conspicuous at the time, like a light bulb when I released it, so I never used it.

I never expected it to have such a clever use.

"What about sixth rank and above?"

"Seventh-tier beings have not appeared on the Demon God Continent for a long time. Legend has it that they can move mountains and fill seas, and suppress an entire era."

Zhou Yi nodded.

"Tell me about the power of Demon Hill."

"He is the fifth-ranked Demon Lord on the Demon God Continent, commanding an army of 10 million and ruling over two low-level planets."

"A low-level planet?"

"It's a planet that's just joined the ranks of the gods, like Earth. It's very weak... Of course, I'm not talking about the master, but about its overall strength..."

Vastel was puzzled. Logically speaking, it was impossible for a powerful figure like Zhou Yi to appear on Blue Star.

During my time on Earth.

He knew that the gods had only been descending for a short time.

"You have gods where you live too?"

"Yes, but the news is strictly blocked. Not many people at the bottom know about it. Only nobles can participate. If anyone else is found to have logged into the Gods, they will be executed immediately."

The Book of Changes is clear.

No wonder Pig and Yang Wei and their ilk didn't know about the existence of the gods.

"You can also log into the Gods?"

"Yes! However, our Demon God Continent is only a small force among the gods."

"Oh?" Zhou Yi became interested. "So your region has players from other planets?"

“That’s right. We entered the current region after several server merges. However, my login time is strictly limited, and I need to consume Soul Gems to log in.”

Zhou Yi fell into deep thought.

So, does this mean the Blue Star region might merge with other regions?

He recalled the arrogant dragon he had encountered in the Zero Realm of Gods.

That guy is from a different universe.

"Do you know where the gods are? Could they be some planet in the universe?"

"Some people have studied the Demon God Continent and concluded that the gods do not belong to this universe; the laws there are very peculiar..."

Through Vaster's narration, Zhou Yi understood the basic situation of the Demon God Continent.

The gods have been there for decades.

During this period, a seventh-tier powerhouse emerged and established a vast empire. Later, that empire collapsed overnight, splitting into dozens of forces.

Vastel's former employer was one of them.
