I don’t know what you possess to make the Demon World judge your ’weight’ to be so heavy, but I can be certain you’re unable to make use of whatever it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hollow Ancestor spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s make a deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you give it up, I will let you go. In fact, I’m even willing to let you take the concepts I plundered from the Four Elements Devil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, the Hollow Ancestor stared at Liora, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate her outer shell and peer into her true nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I saw the world you displayed earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you fuse the concepts of Four Elements and World with it, you should be able to become a pseudo-Ancient Devil. With the assistance of that time technique, you can be considered invincible in the Archdevil stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The offer the Hollow Ancestor made was sound, and he did not simply use his power to force Liora to make a choice, giving her substantial benefits instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as she agreed to his proposal, she would be able to leap forward in strength, quickly becoming a nearly apex creature within the Origin Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Snake of Time, she would even have a chance of becoming an Ancient Devil in the near future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any other Archdevil would have immediately agreed to those terms, especially given the gap in strength between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Liora didn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because she didn’t want to grow stronger, or because she didn’t trust the Hollow Ancestor. After all, the two could always sign a Devil Contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason she didn’t agree was that she knew what she would have to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Evolution System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know if the Demon World could strip it away from her, but she also didn’t dare to bet on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As such, the offer the Hollow Ancestor made was meaningless for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone a pseudo-Ancient Devil, even if the Hollow Ancestor promised to help her become a true Ancient Devil, she would not agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, giving up and simply dying is also impossible.\", Liora whispered softly, understanding her current predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later, her eyes lit up as she had an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her consciousness swept out and communicated with the True Balance, relaying her request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was confirmed that it could work, her lips couldn’t help but curve into a faint smile, much to the Hollow Ancestor’s dismay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party believed that Liora had been driven mad. This idea was only further reinforced when Liora put forth her first request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She calmly pointed at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I request the concept of the World...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment her words fell, the Hollow Ancestor experienced the pain the Four Elements Devil had previously gone through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own soul and essence seemed to have been torn apart, as an invisible hand reached into them and grabbed something out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Throne, resting at the banks of the River of Time, lost one of its many hues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, a light landed on Liora’s side of the scale, bridging the gap between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hollow Ancestor, however, did not show fear or anger.

Pointing her finger, she made her next request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, she didn’t demand any of his possessions.

A female insectoid creature was taken out the very next moment, looking quite similar to a Zerg Queen but also like a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diana wanted to flee as soon as she felt the formation no longer binding her. But before she could do so, the several towering auras surrounding her left her stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In particular, the pressure of the Will of the Demon World caused her to fall to her knees, quivering in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora paid no attention to her antics.
