As for our journey, I believe Vlamé has already written it in sufficient detail…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was paper!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu’s eyebrows lifted—he instinctively felt something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only guided Old Village Head to invent paper two years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, the surrounding regions had yet to adopt it widely—how had Vlamé obtained it in the northern highlands?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pondered, he lightly curled his finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, magic rippled through the air, drawing the scroll into his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the scroll touched his palm, Lin Yu’s expression darkened visibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder she could write on paper—it was torn straight from the Holy Scripture!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know what? That’s exactly the kind of thing Vlamé would do…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu muttered inwardly, then asked casually: “Where’s Vlamé?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Meng bowed: “My lord, after crossing the northern highlands, Vlamé departed ahead of us. She intends to take her new disciple to meet her master, then return to visit you later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…New disciple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has the world’s destined protagonist, the elf mage Fulilian , finally appeared?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu thought to himself, then nodded: “Going to see Seriel first? Fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he unrolled the letter and read its contents carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To my friend Lin Yu: Ten years have passed—how are you and Longlong Rock?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since leaving your domain, I traveled north with Dai Meng, passing through…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu read the letter from his friend, written a decade ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The early part was simple: Vlamé and Dai Meng journeyed north together, slaying monsters and exploring dungeons, until they met two others in a northern city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were orphans of the northern war—one a fallen noble knight, the other a young female monk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Dai Meng, whose innate physique was monstrous, the noble knight excelled in swordsmanship and resembled Shimmer from a thousand years’ future—a physical damage dealer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the female monk, who could use the Holy Scripture and dispel curses, she was clearly the support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With frontliner, support, magic damage, and physical damage now assembled, Vlamé’s four-member team was officially complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They departed from a northern frontier city of the Unified Empire, marched north through demon lands, defeated countless demon armies, and finally reached the continent’s northernmost edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, they finally encountered the Demon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Vlamé’s own words, the moment she saw the Demon King, she knew he could not be defeated head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet still, they fought him and his army—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A battle Vlamé called a crushing defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Vlamé, proud as she was, admitted that without the Holy Scripture Lin Yu had given her, all four of them would have died in that battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a horrific, indescribable fight, Vlamé was forced to pull out the Holy Scripture and unleash several devastating spells, reducing the entire Demon King’s citadel to ruins, barely escaping with her three companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu didn’t know if the original Vlamé had ever fought the Demon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her teammates truly died at the Demon King’s hands, then his Holy Scripture had saved these three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If in the original story Vlamé never faced the Demon King directly, then this battle might have been the one where his Holy Scripture gave her the confidence the original lacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever the truth, his Holy Scripture had already altered Vlamé’s team’s fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu continued reading—the latter part described Vlamé’s mental shift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vlamé admitted she was no match for the Demon King now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she wished to fulfill her dream in her lifetime—to advance magic in human society—she would never grow strong enough to defeat him before death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, should she strengthen herself, gambling on a future chance to defeat the Demon King?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or should she remain true to her original ideal, spending her remaining years pursuing it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the difficult choice Vlamé faced after leaving the Demon King’s citadel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had pondered it constantly, gradually changing her style without even realizing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before fighting the Demon King, she was a proud, brilliant young genius—but after her crushing defeat, she began considering combat methods beyond direct confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this letter, Vlamé emphasized the inseparable bond between demons and magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as mindless monsters were, demons ranked their status by magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, magic power symbolized dignity and rank—they could never abandon what it granted, nor could they forever conceal their own magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But humans had no such limitation, giving Vlamé a glimmer of strategic possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She began suppressing her own magic fluctuations, maintaining this restraint during cultivation, combat, and daily life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strategy proved highly effective: once accustomed to suppression, she successfully ambushed powerful demons, luring them into fatal overconfidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Vlamé, who had been deeply discouraged since descending south, this was a powerful boost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, their battle with the Demon King had been too conspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Vlamé’s group became widely known; many great demons grew wary of her, rendering her suppression tactic far less effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Vlamé mocked herself, saying—in Lin Yu’s words—her account was now useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she sought a peerless genius to train as a weapon against the Demon King, raising him from childhood to suppress magic power, maintaining it his entire life, until the day he defeated the Demon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, human mages found this method utterly contemptible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They deemed it despicable, beneath them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that was merely their own justification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vlamé believed they simply didn’t want to give up the status and wealth magic power granted them—they didn’t want to play the fool forever, just to devour a tiger in one decisive battle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not lose heart, continuing her search for the right candidate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until not long ago, in a northern elf village slaughtered by demons, she met the destined elf girl…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1169,"2026-06-20T00:29:28.871Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ab0368e9bc4bdfa0004af4a11645ba4bf4862c2fe90330244b99071f4933e469","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-18","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-16",206,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-cover.jpg"]
