Upon hearing what the woman said, Chen Zhou immediately looked towards the center. Chen Zhou didn't know where he was, but he could see a building emitting a glowing light in the center, which seemed to be bustling with activity.
It's already quite some time since night fell.
"How can one become a Demon Lord?" Chen Zhou asked directly without hesitation.
“There are three conditions that must be met to become a Demon Lord,” the courtier replied slowly.
"What are the conditions?" Chen Zhou asked directly.
“First, 1,000 people must be executed at the burning site,” the courtier continued.
Upon hearing the courtier's words, Chen Zhou was taken aback and said, "Kill 1,000 people?"
Chen Zhou was immediately taken aback. This task was already very difficult for him. He hadn't even killed enough people to fill a handful of hands in his life, let alone now that the first condition was that he had to kill 1,000 people in the burning field.
This task is undoubtedly very difficult for Chen Zhou right now.
“Note that it is a person, not a beast,” the courtier replied slowly.
Chen Zhou nodded silently, indicating that he understood. Could it be that there were wild beasts in the burning field?
"Second, participate in the Demon City training and enter the ninth level of the Demon Realm." The courtier continued, and when he mentioned this condition, he smiled slowly. He then continued, "This condition was added in the last few years, and no one has yet reached the ninth level of the Demon Realm."
Upon hearing this request, Chen Zhou had no idea what to expect, but after hearing the courtier's eerie smile, Chen Zhou vaguely felt that this task would probably be even more difficult than the first request.
"Didn't the previous demon lord fulfill this requirement?" Chen Zhou asked curiously.
"No, this requirement is newly added," the courtier replied.
"Is there one last request?" Chen Zhou asked directly.
The courtier was not in a hurry and continued to answer slowly, "Don't rush me. You will miss me terribly after seven days."
Chen Zhou was speechless. He scratched his head and remained silent, waiting for the attendant's reply. Chen Zhou didn't know what his life would be like afterward, but his most important task at the moment was to find Wo Wan as soon as possible. In this unfamiliar place, at least two people together would have a companion and someone to look after them.
"The third requirement is to defeat the current Demon Lord," the courtier said calmly.
When the courtier finished making this request, Chen Zhou seemed to suddenly fall silent. Chen Zhou felt the same way; wouldn't becoming the Demon Lord mean he could leave the Demon Capital? Why was the requirement to defeat the previous Demon Lord?
"Can't a Demon Lord leave?" Chen Zhou asked, puzzled.
"Of course you can. There are three Demon Lords in the Demon City: one human Demon Lord, one beast Demon Lord, and one spirit beast Demon Lord. The human Demon Lord generally doesn't appear in the Demon City anymore, but the beast and spirit beast Demon Lords often appear there. The requirement is to defeat one of the Demon Lords. So you can challenge either the beast Demon Lord or the spirit beast Demon Lord," the attendant continued.
Chen Zhou nodded silently. He hadn't expected that Shanghai was such a melting pot, containing not only humans but also wild beasts and spirit beasts.
Chen Zhou still doesn't know if spirit beasts are like him and can't use true energy.
“I understand. Do you know that there was another woman who arrived here before me? Do you know where she went?” Chen Zhou immediately asked. Now that he knew some of the rules here, he could start looking for Wo Wan.
"I am merely your guide and attendant. I will not answer questions about the whereabouts of anyone in the city. I will only answer questions related to the city," the attendant said coldly.
Hearing this, Chen Zhou could only look around awkwardly; it seemed he would have to find it himself. Once here, Chen Zhou first needed to settle down.
“What other rules are there in Shanghai? Tell me them all, then take me to where I live, and you can leave,” Chen Zhou said immediately.
"Leave? You don't need my help anymore?" The courtier was immediately incredulous. What did this person mean by that? No one had ever been without his help; it was always those people who begged him to follow them. Why was this person now telling him to leave?
"You just need to explain everything or the rules here to me clearly, and then you can leave," Chen Zhou emphasized again.
"Oh no, you also need to take me to where I live, and then give me a map of the place, and then you can leave," Chen Zhou added.
"Do you know how much I can help you? I can protect you three times, and you won't be in any danger during those three times. Are you sure you want me to finish speaking before you leave?" the courtier said, somewhat incredulously.
"Okay, tell me quickly," Chen Zhou urged, as he was in a hurry to check on his residence before immediately setting off to find Wo Wan.
"Alright. The most important thing in the Demon City is Demon Coins. After you kill someone in the Demon City, you can directly take their Demon Coins, and they are all yours. Demon Coins can be used to exchange for goods in the Demon City. The shops in the Demon City are much more luxurious than your human shops."
To fight in the Burning Grounds, you need to register, but I have already registered you. This is your token. Every time you kill someone, the token will be updated. When you have killed 1000 people, the token will become a certificate, called the Demon Lord's Certificate. You can use this certificate to enter the Demon Realm.
Once you enter the Demon Realm, you can't leave unless you reach the ninth level. Emerging from the ninth level means you've fulfilled two conditions, giving you something the Demon Lord values: Demon Tears. These are incredibly valuable; you'll understand why later. So, you don't need to seek out the Demon Lord; he'll come to you, provided you pass the trials of the Burning Arena and then the Demon Realm itself.
