Purgatory.(Refining Hell)

As the name suggests, the second floor of the Demon Tower was filled with scorching hot lava, searing volcanic rocks, and even the air seemed grayish, laden with dust and powder.

Here, many high-ranking demons had been waiting for a long time. They split into two sides, respectfully welcoming Reji, the Demon King, and the apostles behind him.

The main demon clan on the second floor were the Great Demons and Sword Demons.

These two strongest combat forces among the demon races would serve as instructors to train the elite demons promoted from the Breeding Demon\'s Nest on the first floor.

Incidentally, demon races were not limited to the nine major clans. It\'s just that these nine clans were the most outstanding, which is why they became the apostle clans.

In fact, there were many other demon clans.

For example, Flame Demons, Blood Demons, Canine Demons, Hawk-faced Demons, and so on. There were too many to list.

These demon clans, due to their low upper limits or the fact that they had never given birth to powerful individuals, basically fell into the ranks of the "Demon Army". They were only used for war and did not participate in the internal affairs of the demon races.

In the purgatory of the second floor, their opponents changed from fighting each other to sparring and training with the Great Demons and Sword Demons, these two noble clans.

The term used here was sparring, not fighting to the death, because due to their bloodline, as lower-level demon clans, even against the weakest Great Demons and Sword Demons, they had almost no chance of winning. It was completely a one-sided slaughter.

Of course, even though it was sparring, if their strength was too weak, they would still be ruthlessly eliminated, and the mortality rate on the second floor remained high.

But, as they say, excellent weapons require repeated forging and tempering.

It\'s not hard to see that Reji\'s plan for the second floor of the Demon Tower was actually modeled after the environment of the "Chaos Rift" from before, even making it more brutal.

And in such a harsh "purgatory" environment, with the Great Demons and Sword Demons as the most difficult instructors, those demon clans that could survive this tempering and successfully "graduate" were no longer just soldiers, but truly became the backbone force.

For these elite among the elite demons, Reji no longer needed them to undergo further tempering and testing.

Generally, at this point, the demons would be around level 40-50.

During battles, they basically served as the leaders and chiefs of various demon troops.

And in peacetime when there were no wars, they would be assigned to other floors as patrollers and guards of the Demon King Tower, protecting the tower\'s safety and eliminating all invaders.

Moving on.

The Demon Tower had a total of seven floors. Upon reaching the third floor, the oppressive atmosphere of being in purgatory and that grayish scorching world from before disappeared.

In its place was a gigantic library.

Rows of bookshelves that required one to raise their head to see, possibly several stories high, were arranged inside, and each bookshelf was filled to the brim with all kinds of books and records.

Some of these books recorded the history of the demon race, the worlds they had conquered along the way, the magic, knowledge, and structures of those races, and so on.

There were also books from human society, covering a wide range of fields and industries, and even including poetry, fairy tales, and more.

Unlike the simple brutality and violence that filled the first two floors of the Demon Tower, what greeted them here was an atmosphere of scholarly knowledge, making one feel as if they could immediately calm down and immerse themselves in the study of knowledge.

No mistake.

With this kind of ambiance and environment, there was no need for introductions. Vielsia also knew who the manager of this floor was.

"The third floor of the Demon Tower, the Hall of Sorcery Demons."

"I am very grateful for his majesty\'s grace in being willing to set aside a floor for the Sorcery Demons and for collecting a large number of human books and records from Ilinor to fill the library. I will strive to make this place the museum of the demon race, used to record the glory of our race and store all the items and equipment that will aid our race."

"Of course, the Sorcery Demon clan will also not disappoint his majesty\'s expectations. We will do our best for the Demon King and the entire demon race to research more spells, to give the most excellent magical suppression to potential enemies in the future."

Dian, as the manager and floor boss finished speaking, many Sorcery Demons in this huge library also stopped what they were doing and bowed one by one in Reji\'s direction to express their gratitude and loyalty.

Fighting a war can\'t be done foolishly.

Artifacts and scrolls are very important for warfare.

As an Easterner, Reji also inherited the "fear of insufficient firepower" tradition. So, to put it bluntly, the reason he gave the Sorcery Demons so much power and space was to vigorously engage in scientific research.

The goal was to make the demon race self-sufficient in terms of artifacts.

Now, the Sorcery Demons were given daily KPIs set by Reji, requiring them to draw a certain number of spell scrolls and concoct various potions and artifacts as reserves, so that when facing different environments, they could immediately take out the corresponding items.

But the Sorcery Demons had no complaints about this. Not only because Reji was the Demon King, but more importantly, such a "library" was simply heaven for them!.

No previous generation of Demon Kings had ever treated the Sorcery Demons like this, giving them such a quiet and independent large space, allowing them to be free from the disturbance of those other crude demon clans and immerse themselves in their respective research.

Drawing scrolls and making artifacts were their duties and research directions to begin with.

Now, all the Sorcery Demons could think about was working harder, striving to complete Reji\'s KPIs (task targets), cherishing such a hard-won good Demon King, and treasuring this era, which was simply the best era for the Sorcery Demons!

Inside the Demon Tower, it wasn\'t just the Sorcery Demon race that held this idea of the "best era".

When continuing upward and reaching the fourth floor, the first thing that caught the eye was a vast expanse of lush green forests. Luxuriant vegetation crisscrossed, with moist soil and blooming flowers. The breath of nature that greeted them made Vielsia feel as if she had suddenly returned home.

No.

This place seemed to be her home, her new home?

Actually, Vielsia, who had learned about the "Demon Tower" before, already had a hunch in her heart.

And now, after reaching the fourth floor, she finally understood what Reji had meant by her people that had "moved in" earlier.

That\'s right.

The fourth floor of the Demon Tower was also a large floor that Reji had specially designated - the Emerald Forest.

The apostles who had originally been by Reji\'s side on the first three floors had also returned to their respective positions and did not continue to go up.

So now that they had reached the fourth floor, the only apostles left by Reji\'s side were Eris, Shermen, Eileen, and Leo.

Further up, the fifth floor was the Wisdom Demon\'s Court.

In simple terms, it was the administrative management floor.

The major resolutions of the demon race, or regular meetings, were all held in the "Grand Hall" on the fifth floor. Now, Leo took the initiative to step forward, using the pretext of "discussing" what improvements could be made to the first three floors he had just inspected, and took the other three apostles beside Reji to the next floor.

Leaving only Reji and Vielsia.

Leo was indeed the one who understood Reji the best.

The Wisdom Demon also knew that the current Demon King needed to get along with the new apostle, so he was very good at observing the situation and left the next period of time for the Demon King and Vielsia, and even more so for the elf race.

Reji didn\'t say anything about this.

Leo had indeed done him a favor. Now it could be considered that he had fulfilled his promise to this silly elf princess. Reji took the lead and brought Vielsia to see the rejuvenated elf race.

Reji\'s original intention was to show the progress of the elf race and tell Vielsia, -"See, I didn\'t lie to you. I said I would make the elves rise, and they did."-

However...

After only walking a few steps into the forest, Reji was stunned.

Because there were two patrolling elves there.

When they discovered Reji, they didn\'t even notice, or rather completely ignored, the "silver-haired" girl beside him. The two elves\' eyes instantly lit up, and they rushed over in a flash.

One of them, even more excitedly and happily said,

"Demon King! You\'re finally here!"

"Elder Nazha has been waiting for you for a long time. She said that if you didn\'t come again, she would personally come to your door to find you tonight!"
