The Holy Demon Continent was once scorched earth, ravaged by war.

It remained so until Lin Feng crossed over, ascended to the throne as the Demon God Emperor, and achieved unification.

It took several hundred years of balancing soft diplomacy with iron-fisted rule to gradually reshape the deeply ingrained prejudices of the populace.

In the end, the current harmonious state was forged; ruined towns were rebuilt, and chaotic mud tracks were paved into proper roads.

Humans who once lived in terror now lead lives of ease, and the Demon Race, who once suffered from chronic food shortages, now eat their fill at every meal.

If war was once a means for racial survival, Lin Feng has long since resolved that issue, earning him supreme prestige among all parties.

Songs of praise, worship, and faith are ubiquitous throughout the Holy Demon Federation, and the locals have long since grown accustomed to it.

But for Dugu Bo, who had just arrived and remained in a state of bewilderment, along with his granddaughter Dugu Yan, the sight was truly eye-opening.

"That His Majesty... he has actually accomplished so many magnificent feats!"

"He dissolved thousands of years of hatred and put an end to endless wars."

"He even facilitated the coexistence of the human and demon races, completing a total unification! The difficulty of this is no less than making soul masters and soul beasts live in peace!"

Dugu Yan wandered the streets, looking left and right.

For the first time, she realized just how great Lin Feng truly was.

She was so curious about everything she saw that she walked very slowly along the path.

Her grandfather, Dugu Bo, stood beside her; though he feigned composure on the surface, he was equally shaken within.

On the Douluo Continent, let alone two different races, even the human factions were still locked in internal strife.

Martial Soul Hall controlled the soul masters and intended to lay claim to the two great empires, while the latter refused to show weakness, their secret rivalry never ceasing.

Bibi Dong was hailed as the greatest and most capable Pope in history, but compared to His Majesty Lin Feng, she was simply not on the same level.

"This truly is a miraculous land!"

Dugu Bo sighed inwardly, his sense of belonging growing stronger.

Initially, his surrender was driven by desperation, but now, he was convinced in both heart and mind.

Compared to the Holy Demon Federation and the Demon God Emperor, what difference was there between the three great powers of the Douluo Continent and a bunch of useless fools?

"That guy... I mean His Majesty Lin Feng, he has changed the landscape of the world. He is an unprecedented, miraculous figure!"

"You haven't been here long and haven't been exposed to many things yet. After living here for a while longer, you will surely have a deeper understanding."

Just then, not far from the street corner.

A young girl with her hair in buns walked up to the two of them.

She held a snack resembling candied hawthorns, a smile on her doll-like face, full of innocence.

Her name was Ye Xiaolei, the divine incarnation of the Goddess of Nature. She once lived in the Dream Paradise before being personally subdued by Lin Feng.

Currently, she was acting as a guide for Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, helping the grandfather and granddaughter experience the local customs and learn more information to help them integrate into the system.

Everything was originally proceeding according to plan.

That was until an accident broke the routine a short while ago.

They had encountered a man and a woman on the street, two youths who looked to be in their teens, who had come over to strike up a conversation on purpose.

Ye Xiaolei should have refused, but for some reason, a sense of intimacy and familiarity welled up within her, creating the illusion that she "could not bring herself to speak."

Even though they had just met, they had opened their hearts to each other within a few sentences. It wasn't just her; even the wily old Dugu Bo had shown a similar reaction.

It was as if no rejection or negative emotion could be directed at the man and woman before them, and she was subconsciously willing to answer every question they asked—without reservation.

This situation was extremely bizarre!

In the end, Ye Xiaolei was the first to regain her senses.

It was unbelievable; could someone actually "hypnotize and brainwash" her?

One had to know that as a divine incarnation, she was born with divinity within her, which could never be manipulated by ordinary means.

Even someone as powerful as the Demon God Emperor Lin Feng could not achieve this. How exactly did these seemingly young man and woman manage it?

Deep down, Ye Xiaolei was filled with horror, yet she couldn't summon the slightest thought of resistance.

She looked at the two with a complex expression, only to find them looking back at her with kind smiles.

"The co-ruler of humans and demons, the Demon God Emperor Lin Feng... he is indeed a very special fellow. Many of his propositions are ahead of his time."

The woman wore a simple long dress; her features did not look particularly exquisite, yet just standing there, she seemed to transcend the heavens and earth.

"Haha, he should be an interesting person. It's just a pity that such people usually have strong opinions of their own and may not necessarily accept our proposal."

The man beside her shrugged. His appearance was equally unremarkable, but his innate temperament was even more mysterious than Ye Xiaolei's, his every gesture filled with confidence.

These two were, naturally, Goodness and Evil.

Ever since Lin Feng occupied the City of Slaughter and disrupted the Asura inheritance, news of the Holy Demon Continent invading the Douluo Continent had been transmitted back to the God Realm Committee, sparking surprise and curiosity.

The Five Great God Kings held a meeting to discuss it and concluded that they would not intervene, yet they still maintained a keen interest in this new world.

In particular, they faintly sensed something within the Holy Demon Continent that made their hearts palpitate, so they discussed descending to investigate, with the task falling upon Goodness and Evil.

The two of them had always been quite fond of "reincarnating."

Entering various low-level planes to experience the joys and sorrows of different lives.

Being old hands at this, their methods were naturally quite practiced, and in an instant, they infiltrated the Holy Demon Federation.

It was just that this time was slightly different; they did not reincarnate as infants to slowly experience life from scratch.

They directly manifested as young adults, wandering this magical land and witnessing many novel things.

In the process, through their God King-level divine sense, they keenly noticed two things.

Not only were there demigods in this Holy Demon Federation, but there were also godheads containing the laws of heaven and earth that had taken human form and possessed sentience?

Furthermore, while the creatures of every world might look the same, they were actually different; ordinary people could not tell them apart, but they could identify them with ease.

They quickly locked onto the otherworldly Dugu Bo and his granddaughter.

Discovering that the two were traveling the continent, they immediately developed a different idea.

Since they had intended to look around here and there anyway, perhaps having company would be better? They decisively took the initiative to approach.

Relying on the power of God Kings to influence the judgment of those around them was effortless, and they obtained a great deal of information in one go.

It was precisely because of these actions that Huang Shuo, who was responsible for security, became alert, leading to the subsequent inability to find any trace of them and the report reaching the ears of Lin Feng.

Nothing had escaped the notice of Goodness and Evil.

As God Kings, they simply did not care about exposing their whereabouts.

They continued to go their own way, following Ye Xiaolei, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan to experience life in various parts of the Federation.

Yet Lin Feng, who had finally realized the truth, could not remain so calm; not understanding the purpose of the two, he sat on his throne and scratched his head, disregarding his image.

"These two were present when the City of Slaughter was occupied previously."

"They didn't intervene at the time, which meant they couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the lower realms."

"Yet, they just had to come to the Holy Demon Continent; could it be they are simply here for a vacation?"

"Or perhaps... they were attracted by the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, or even Austin Griffin?"
