Hearing Izax's explanation, Hao Ren was immediately struck by a strong sense of déjà vu. He stared blankly at the obsidian spires scattered everywhere around them. "You mean digging up ten pieces of obsidian, stacking them into a gate, and then flicking a lighter in the middle?"
Izax stared at Hao Ren in confusion. "What are you talking about?"
Lily headbutted Hao Ren and sent him flying. "Ignore him. Landlord's having another fit. Come to think of it, Big Dog, how can you build a portal to the Human World? Didn't you say it was extremely difficult for demons to go to the human world? There are layers of restrictions, and you'll be detected or something..."
"The various races of the Human World established a very tight Space Gate detection network in their world, specifically to provide early warnings for spatial teleportation from the demonic planes. On top of that, the Demon Realm itself is located in the deepest layer of the entire spatial bubble region. That's why it's so difficult for demons to travel freely to the human world," Izax said with a laugh. "But many years ago, I used to visit the human world frequently, and I left behind a few 'secret paths.'"
He looked somewhat smug as he continued. "Back then, I wasn't just some brute who charged around for centuries—I was an educated demon. Knowledge is Power."
"After building up an empire for several hundred years, you still got run over by someone in ten years," Lily said bluntly. "What a shame."
Izax's expression shifted before turning into a sigh. "Sigh... Perhaps it really was fate. The first several hundred years went smoothly enough, but somehow, during the final decade, legendary heroes began popping up among the various races of the Human World one after another.
