Chapter 1072

As for Fifth Rank Abyssal Demons, they are exceedingly rare—practically non-existent.

On the Gods' Continent, Fifth Rank Sacred Domains may have existed once, but within the Abyss, there are virtually no Demons equivalent to a Fifth Rank Sacred Domain!

The Abyssal Demons' realm divisions also follow the Heavenly Realm's system, divided into distinct tiers, each with five ranks—a scientifically refined method developed over countless ages.

Unlike in ancient times, when realms were vaguely labeled as Weak Deities, Low Deities, and so on!

Different tiers of Abyssal Demons also carry distinct honorific titles.

Just as in the Heavenly Realm, the third tier is called Great Deity.

First-tier Demons are ordinary Demons, with no special title.

Second-tier Demons are Great Demon Lords.

Third-tier Demons are Heavenly Demon Lords.

Fourth-tier Demons are Demon Emperors!

In fact, as the God of Darkness spoke, she observed Lin Yan's reaction.

"It seems the Master doesn't know?"

The God of Darkness's heart stirred slightly!

Yet, she had deep personal experience with Lin Yan's strength.

She herself was only one rank away from the peak of the third tier; in fact, she had once fought a third-tier peak Demon Lord—and escaped successfully.

In the God of Darkness's perception, Lin Yan was far stronger than any third-tier peak deity.

"The Master seems unaware of many things within the Abyss!"

The God of Darkness thought.

After thinking this, she did not wait for Lin Yan to ask, and said:

"Master, over ten thousand years have passed since the last war between the Abyss and the Heavenly Realm. The Abyss now has too many demons and too many Demon Lords. According to this servant's guess, a large-scale war is about to begin!"

Her attire, combined with her self-reference as "this servant," gave her the air of Lin Yan's little maid.

Lin Yan said coolly: "Towards the Heavenly Realm?"

The God of Darkness replied: "Possibly. Or it might become another place."

"The Dark Abyss Prison?"

Lin Yan said.

The God of Darkness said: "Yes, Master. To attack the Heavenly Realm, marching through the Gods' Continent is impossible—you must pass through the Dark Abyss Prison. Passing through inevitably sparks war. In the past, many wars against the Heavenly Realm ultimately turned into wars against the Dark Abyss Prison."

Here, the God of Darkness said dismissively: "It's war either way; it's just consuming demons and Demon Lords. The Demon Emperors seek the Law of Killing anyway—so who they fight doesn't matter."

The God of Darkness's words revealed a trait of Abyssal beings: utterly without principles, logic, or order—wildly chaotic in action.

In past ages, the Abyss periodically launched wars against the Heavenly Realm.

Yet, many of these Abyssal wars turned into conflicts with the Dark Abyss Prison while passing through it, completely abandoning any intent to attack the Heavenly Realm.

To the Gods' Continent, the Abyss and the Heavenly Realm are ancient, eternal forces. After countless wars, neither side has ever destroyed the other.

Some deities gained power and grew stronger through war; others, lacking strength, became cannon fodder and perished tragically.

This is one reason why the Goddess of Eternal Night is determined to break into the fourth tier.

She refuses to become cannon fodder, wiped out by a stray wave from a clash between powerful beings—that would be too unjust a death!

Only by becoming strong enough can one ensure self-preservation!

Lin Yan glanced at her coolly: "How old are you?"

The God of Darkness immediately blushed: "Master, a girl's age must be kept secret, you know~~ But this servant has participated in one war against the Heavenly Realm!"

That meant the God of Darkness was over ten thousand years old!

Lin Yan's gaze swept over the God of Darkness.

At this moment, her attire made her appear like a woman in her early to mid-twenties.

She carried a certain mature allure.

Seeing Lin Yan look at her, she revealed a hint of shyness.

An evil Demon Lord feels shy?

Believe her, and you lose.

Yet, Lin Yan's glance immediately uncovered her little trick.

Her nightgown, at first glance, was a nightgown.

Upon closer inspection…

It was nothing at all—merely formed from divine power.

Of course, if another deity tried, the God of Darkness would not permit it; even if it were divine power clothing, no other deity could see through it.

Second, she would never dress this way otherwise.

The God of Darkness instantly revealed an expression of her secret being exposed—utterly perfect.

Lin Yan glanced at her a few times, then withdrew his gaze:

"Put on proper clothes. Send someone to Demon Mountain!"

"Yes, Master!"

The God of Darkness was exceedingly obedient.

She long understood that conquering her Master was not a matter of one or two days, so she kept her boundaries well-managed.

Occasionally bold, but whenever the Master spoke, she obeyed—meek as a well-behaved little wife.

She waved her hand, and her nightgown truly became a nightgown.

The God of Darkness then presented her harvest from the past few months: vast quantities of Abyssal Divine Stones, and numerous divine substances native to the Abyss.

These divine substances, also called demonic substances within the Abyss, are materials saturated with intense dark attributes.

However, on the Continent of Gods, there is also the concept of demonic substances—materials imbued with magical properties—and these are not the same thing.

The God of Darkness soon sent one of her powerful Demon Kings to Demon God Mountain.

Other deities in Lin Yan's Dark Pantheon also dispatched Demon Kings to Demon God Mountain.

As for the Succubus Dynasty, it was Succubus Ivet who went.

Ivet has now also been elevated by Lin Yan to the rank of Demon King; after Succubus Natasha becomes the Abyssal Demon God, she will rule the Succubus Dynasty alongside Barbara.

As for Natasha, she is already preparing to ascend to godhood.

Lin Yan descended his will, opened a passage, granted Natasha some additional power, then left the Abyss.

In the Heavenly Realm, after Lin Yan returned to his Divine Domain, Vivela sought him out.

Vivela had not seen Lin Yan for over a month; seeing him made her very happy.

"Your Reverence, when will the celebration for your ascension to the Fourth Tier be held?"

Vivela asked.

In the Heavenly Realm, whenever a Fourth Tier deity emerges, a celebration is typically held.

Although Vivela had never experienced one, she knew this ancient custom.

Not to mention a Fourth Tier—even a deity ascending to the Third Tier often holds a celebration.

The scale of the celebration simply differs.

For an ordinary Third Tier deity, the celebration is attended only by deities they know well.

Some First and Second Tier deities might even come to show their faces.

In fact, Vivela and Mavis had originally planned to hold their own celebration for ascending to the Third Tier after all the Elf Goddesses returned from the Sun.

Of course, some reclusive deities do not hold celebrations at all; these deities rarely interact with others, and even if they did host one, no deities would attend.

But any Fourth Tier deity, no matter how eccentric their personality, almost always holds a celebration.

Celebrations in the Heavenly Realm are far less elaborate than those on the Continent of Gods.

No deity enjoys complicated rituals.

In fact, the Goddess of Eternal Night also has a celebration planned, but after discussion, she decided to hold it jointly with Lin Yan—depending on when Lin Yan chooses.

Lin Yan paused, then said: "Let's set the date one month from now!"

Vivela said: "Very well, Your Reverence, I'll take care of the celebration arrangements!"

Lin Yan asked: "How long until your divine body reaches Level 14?"

Vivela said: "Your Reverence, it's almost ready—I just need one or two more things."

Lin Yan pulled out one million high-grade divine stones, sealed them in a light orb, then pulled out another light orb and handed it to Vivela:

"These are under your control; there are many resources here I no longer need. Keep them all—see if anything suits your needs."

"So much?"
