Lie Kong Demon Emperor had not knelt to Zi You. In truth, he had knelt to the status and authority Secluded Bamboo Supreme wielded within the Evil Tide Civilization.
That was also why, over the past several thousand years, Zi You had been more inclined to expand and develop her own direct lineage.
Although her father currently commanded the greatest number of Dominator-Level Combat Power within the Evil Tide Civilization,
those unruly Evil Tide Dominators might respectfully address Zi You as "Young Mistress," but how much they truly respected her in their hearts was another matter.
The successful completion of the two large-plane wars in the Gui Hua Shi World and the Abyss World had greatly raised Zi You's prestige within the Evil Tide Civilization.
Many of the Level-7 Dominators under Secluded Bamboo Supreme's command should now have acknowledged her capabilities as well.
But as for what those Level-8 Demon Emperors truly thought... that was impossible to know.
However, the Lie Kong Demon Emperor before her was someone Zi You could trust.
Because he was one of the Demon Emperors most loyal to Zi You's father.
Back when Zi You had still been a little girl, she had even affectionately called him "Uncle."
Otherwise, when Zi You had conquered the Gui Hua Shi World, Secluded Bamboo Supreme would not have sent Lie Kong Demon Emperor along with her.
It was simply that the Evil Tide Civilization possessed a particularly pronounced hierarchy of status and rank. Borrowing her father's might, Zi You had unquestionably stood at the summit from the moment she was born.
Yet the Evil Tide Civilization also revered strength above all else. Thus, even someone of Zi You's distinguished birth had to work tirelessly herself, no matter how much she could rely on her father's influence.
