At that moment, Su Xin, the God of Punishment, who had just finished his shift, happened to meet Yin Cang in the tavern. As fellow Eastern gods, the two did not have much interaction in the alliance, but having fought together for the Chosen Ones last time, they could be considered like-minded friends.
"I heard you secured most of the demands for that chosen one?"
This was the first time Su Xin had gone to such lengths for a chosen one. Thinking of all the previous hardships, he sighed, "I managed to get most of it done, but that's all I can do. It was my oversight, and it's only right that I try to do more for her."
Preventing deities from descending to earth to deal with the chosen ones is within his jurisdiction.
"You're just a scapegoat. There are always some troublemakers in the alliance. They're clearly making their own mistakes, but they always pin the blame on you. I hope that chosen one won't be corrupted by those Western gods after he becomes a god."
Yin Cang truly cares about the Divine Realm Alliance; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths for a Western chosen one.
Su Xin smiled mysteriously, "Who told you she was the chosen one of the West?"
Yin Cang's eyes widened in surprise. "You mean?"
Su Xinhe nodded. He was a just god, but he had to admit that one of the reasons he worked so hard for the Chosen One was influenced by her identity. He briefly told Yin Cang about the compensation he was giving the Chosen One and reassured him that at least the Chosen One wouldn't turn against the entire Divine Realm Alliance because of this.
Yin Cang was in high spirits at the thought of having an Eastern deity in the future. "Is the special divine power you gave me okay? Even a deity cannot easily pass through a space tunnel."
"Don't worry, unless she misuses her spatial divine power in the spatial tunnel, there won't be any problems. That chosen one seems to be intelligent and cautious; she won't act recklessly."
Ange, considered a clever chosen one, was speechless at this moment, looking at the muddy path and letting out his umpteenth sigh of the day.
Driven by curiosity, she used her remaining special divine power in the space tunnel, which caused spatial turbulence.
Fortunately, she wasn't torn apart by the turbulence, nor was she transported to another dimension. Unfortunately, due to the spatial turbulence, her spiritual power became disordered, making it temporarily uncontrollable and unusable.
What frustrated her even more was that the holographic ring lost its effect as soon as it arrived on the Tianxuan Continent. After studying it for a long time, she finally decided to give up.
The Tianxuan Continent is too vast; even a slightly prosperous town is comparable in size to the entire territory of the Daye Kingdom. This limits the use of the holographic ring. In other words, the signal is interrupted due to the great distance.
"Sister An, why are you spacing out again? You're just like the village idiot. Did I see wrong? Did you hit your head and make it stupid?" A chubby-faced little boy asked with concern.
An Ge ruffled the little guy's head, making his hair all messy before stopping with satisfaction. "Xiao Jun, did you go up the mountain again behind your older sister's back? Be careful, or I'll tell on you."
Shi Jun was startled and quickly tried to appease An Ge, "Sister An, please don't tell her, or she'll get angry again."
"You knew that, why did you still go? It's not safe up in the mountains. You should listen to your sister more."
Shi Jun sighed like a little adult, and the two little horns on his head swayed, making An Gege itch again. "I don't want to either. Uncle Erniu from the village said that it's almost tax time again, and we really don't have any extra food at home. What will we do when the demon soldiers come?"
"Alright, these are not things for a child to worry about. I'll keep it a secret for you this time, but you're not allowed to do it again." An Ge said to the little boy who was not even ten years old.
After Shi Jun left, she looked around the impoverished village and couldn't help but sigh.
Of all places, the spatial turbulence had to drag her to, and here she was, in the demon realm. After some time, she figured out the situation. She was now in a relatively remote and impoverished village in the demon realm, rescued by a demon girl who had gone up the mountain to gather herbs—Shi Jun's older sister.
Reflecting on her life in the demon village these past few days, An Ge's initial prejudice against demons gradually faded. The villagers were mostly simple and honest; initially, they were somewhat resistant because of her race, but more so because they feared she would look down on them. Once they realized she didn't discriminate against demons, the villagers quickly extended a benevolent attitude towards her.
In An Ge's view, apart from having two horns on their heads and possessing dark power, demons were no different from ordinary people. No wonder Lu Yan felt indignant when he mentioned demons.
However, it wasn't entirely unjust that the demons were disliked. In less than ten days, An Ge could sense the corruption of the demons' leaders. They were warlike and aggressive towards foreign powers, and oppressed their own people. Not only did other races regard the demons as a scourge, but even ordinary demons rarely spoke up for those in power.
In An Ge's view, ordinary demons are also victims, but because they are weak, they suffer even more from the oppression of both demons and humans. Now, An Ge understands Lu Yan more and more and hopes that he can change the perception of demons in people's minds.
Just then, a beautiful demon woman carrying a basket of herbs walked over. She was Shi Jun's older sister, Shi Ying, and also the little benefactor who carried An Ge down from the mountain.
"Sister Yingzi, you've gone deep into the mountains again?" The moment An Ge saw the herb basket, she knew that these herbs could not be found anywhere but deep in the mountains.
The siblings were really something; one promised not to go deep into the mountains, and the other promised not to go into the mountains, but neither of them kept their promise. As an outsider who knew this secret, she could only help both sides keep it from them.
Shi Ying grinned broadly. “An Ge, I’ve lived in the mountains since I was a child. I know it very well. You don’t need to worry.”
An Ge was helpless. She knew that the siblings depended on each other for survival, and the land in the demon realm was barren; farming alone was simply not enough to make a living. The siblings Shi Ying and Shi Ying depended on each other for survival, and the land was even less sufficient to feed them.
Fortunately, Shi Ying's grandfather had been the village doctor, and she inherited some of his skills. With these medicinal herb-gathering abilities, she supported her younger brother.
An Ge was very grateful to the two of them. They did not abandon her just because she was human. She wanted to repay such kind people.
After several days of effort, she gradually gained control over some spiritual power and believed that she would be able to open the space and find some things that the demons could use.
Despite possessing millions of spirit stones in her spatial storage, and even a top-grade spirit vein capable of producing spirit stones at any time, she was genuinely poor. The currency of the demon race was not spirit stones, but demon stones.
In some of the more prosperous towns in the Demon Realm, there are special exchange shops where spirit stones can be exchanged for demon stones. Most of these exchange shops are run by demons, and it has to be said that, as the balancing force between humans and demons, many demons have made a fortune through this.
Humans and demons can communicate normally through the help of the monster race, which shows that among ordinary people at the bottom of society, there is not much difference between being human and being a demon.
