Now, the people in the Demon Domain have become even more Devotion; the harsher the environment, the more Devotion they become to the gods.
Because in this situation, only God can save them.
Their Devotion faith helped them overcome their fear, and Shen Hao's Fear Points began to decline.
This means that the gains from opening the Demon Domain are no longer keeping pace with the costs.
But he won't be bothered by this situation, because it will soon reverse.
Under Shen Hao's control, every place within the Demon Domain instantly transformed into hell.
Several cities were engulfed in flames, with fire raging everywhere, as if from hell itself, and even water could not extinguish it.
Flames are consuming everything in the world.
The city turned into hell in an instant.
Everyone was engulfed in flames, the burning pain tormenting them, the agony threatening to break their spirits.
Strangely, the flames caused very little damage to their bodies and did not endanger their lives.
But the pain caused by the flames was far more intense than that caused by ordinary flames.
The burning pain constantly assaulted everyone's brains, causing them to gradually break down and their faith to waver once again.
They're already in this state, why won't God come to their rescue?
This is something that is very easy for God to solve, so why don't believers appear to save them?
The excruciating pain made it impossible for them to continue praying; all they could do was scream in agony.
In several other cities, sharp blades grew everywhere, appearing in every corner. He stood on the ground, and his feet were pierced by the blades.
The world people lived in at that moment turned into a mountain of knives; their beds, floors, roads, and everything else they could touch grew sharp blades.
The blade pierced the skin, penetrated the flesh, and entered the bone, causing intense pain.
Whether people are standing, lying down, or in any other posture, they cannot escape the blades that appear in this world.
No one is an exception.
However, those blades did not cause much bleeding. Even if a vital spot was accidentally pierced, it only caused severe pain and did not kill the person.
It was as if all of this had only happened to torment them.
Under such torment, even the most Devotion believers cannot help but begin to doubt God.
They could no longer pray Devotion, for they had been consumed by despair in their agony and had lost all reason.
In some cities, strong winds swept through.
The wind howled wildly from all directions, destroying every building in the city, and piercing into everyone's body like a knife.
People's bodies were covered with tiny wounds left by the gale. Although the wounds were small, or even invisible, there were enough of them, and they were extremely painful.
The excruciating pain tormented everyone, gradually causing their spirits to break down.
Amid the raging winds, resentment arose among the people, for the god they believed in had not appeared and showed no intention of rescuing them.
They had such faith in that God that they were willing to give everything to Him, yet God did not protect them in the crucial moment.
Several other cities were completely covered by lava, which, like a sea, submerged the entire city.
Everything the lava touches will melt, except for people.
Even if people fall into lava, their bodies won't melt or they won't die, but they will still experience just as much pain.
Amidst the intense pain, people's faith had long since crumbled.
Even the Devotion faith cannot withstand such torment.
Now, a similar change is occurring in every city within the Demon Domain; the world has transformed into hell in this instant.
That was true hell, a hell specifically designed to torment people.
Screams and wails echoed from everyone's mouths.
At this moment, faith became a joke. People were utterly desperate and collapsed. They no longer dared to place their hopes on that God.
Many people even harbored resentment towards that god, believing that if the god hadn't saved them before, they wouldn't be suffering here now.
Shen Hao had a clear view of everything within the Demon Domain, and he already knew the changes in the hearts of these people.
This can be seen from the fact that his Fear Points has started to rise rapidly again.
Within ten minutes of the appearance of Hell, Shen Hao had already gained over 1 million points of Fear Points.
His Fear Points has now reached 2.3 million.
Hell did indeed play a very important role; without Hell, he would never have been able to gain so much Fear Points.
When Shen Hao's Fear Points reached 3 million points, the rate at which he gained Fear Points gradually slowed down, and people's fear had decreased.
Because those people are gradually adapting to their current environment, even if it is hell, once they experience it more, they will not be too afraid.
But none of this was unexpected for Shen Hao; he knew this would be the outcome.
It seems that quite a few people still harbor wishful thinking about that deity; they still believe that in a critical moment, the god will save them.
In a sense, this is indeed true, because that god wouldn't want him to absorb Fear Points here either.
But their god is not yet able to enter the Demon Domain to save them.
Now is the time for him to destroy those people's last hope.
At that moment, the clouds on the horizon suddenly changed, transforming into a face full of light. A sacred and majestic aura emanated from the sky, dispelling the eerie feeling around people.
"God is our God!"
"He has finally come! He has finally come to save us!"
Everyone within the Demon Domain saw the face in the sky, that divine aura—without a doubt, it was their god.
Their god has finally appeared and come to their rescue!
They suffered greatly, but thankfully God did not abandon them.
They were finally able to escape their misery.
Just as everyone was getting excited, the sky changed again.
That evil, sinister face also appeared in the clouds; it was the face of the Demon who had plunged them into hell.
People stared at the sky, believing that their god would surely triumph and defeat that evil Demon in an instant!
But justice did not triumph over evil, for evil was too powerful. In an instant, the face that belonged to God in the sky shattered.
That sacred power has completely vanished.
A god has fallen.
Only the face of the Demon remained in the air.
Those malevolent eyes once again gazed down upon the earth, and a sinister aura enveloped them once more.
People watched in disbelief as their god died, instantly annihilated by Demons.
But how could that be? That's a god, a god who once saved the world, how could he be so easily defeated?
"My followers, I can no longer protect you. The Demons are too powerful. You can only rely on your own strength now."
The sound shattered everyone's hopes; their last hope was gone. God couldn't save them; the omnipotent God they believed in was utterly incapable of defeating the Demon.
Even the gods failed, and people's hopes were shattered in an instant, plunging them into utter despair.
This time, they were utterly desperate, because even their god was dead, and they had no chance of escaping this hell.
At this moment, a massive amount of Fear Points surged into Shen Hao's body; these people were already unable to extricate themselves from fear and despair.
Soon, Shen Hao's Fear Points exceeded ten million, and it was still growing rapidly.
The Demon Domain began to expand once more, and with enough Fear Points, he was now able to contend with the power of that god.
