Qi Ling nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. I do have many things I want to know, after all, the Devil Realm is still a completely unknown world to me."
"First, I want to know, where do the people in the Devil Realm come from? After all, most of the people in the Devil Realm shouldn't have inherited Godhood, right? It should be very different from the Divine Realm."
Alice thought for a moment and said, "This question is actually quite simple. The people in the Devil Realm are roughly divided into two types: outsiders and locals! And to enter the Devil Realm and live here, there's a minimum requirement—reaching the level of One-Ring True God!"
"Of course, this doesn't mean that everyone in the Devil Realm is so strong. In fact, there are also a large number of people with low strength in the Devil Realm. They are the most important part of the Devil Realm and the foundation of everything!"
"However, because everyone in the Devil Realm is very competitive and has an extremely low birth rate, the population problem has become a major issue for the Devil Realm, which is why outsiders are needed to replenish the population."
"Furthermore, since those who can reach this level of strength are extremely rare in every world, there's no need to worry that such population growth will put too much pressure on the Devil Realm."
Qi Ling said thoughtfully, "I see. Unlike the Divine Realm, the Devil Realm is indeed a more open and inclusive world! Those who cannot go to the Divine Realm will probably end up coming to the Devil Realm."
"That's right. And because the power system and environment are completely different from your world, living in the Devil Realm means your strength can grow much faster," Alice said.
"However, this also means that you can no longer return to your original world, nor can you travel to other lower-level worlds. Otherwise, it would put enormous pressure on those lower-level worlds and have a significant impact."
"I see. So here, cultivation speed and talent must be directly related, right? That's why those who have a chance to enter the Devil Realm are receiving so much attention, isn't it?" Qi Ling said.
"That's right. Everyone who comes to the Devil Realm is a vital fighting force in the future, and a key target for various factions. Basically, even before they arrive in the Devil Realm, they've already been recruited by various factions," Alice laughed.
"After all, while we can't travel to those worlds, that doesn't mean we can't use special methods to intervene in them!"
Qi Ling couldn't help but recall the power that Qian Xunji and the others had borrowed before; that power must belong to someone in the Devil Realm! And the second-in-command of the Demon Alliance who appeared before her back then was also like that.
"I see. So after coming to this world, we've become the weakest Soul Master again, needing to constantly cultivate, only the things and methods of cultivation have changed," Qi Ling said. "I haven't misunderstood, have I?"
"Absolutely right, that's exactly what I mean," Alice laughed. "Depending on each person's aptitude and potential, you will all eventually encounter your own bottleneck period, during which your strength will improve very slowly. And that's when your power will be basically finalized!"
"The gods in the Divine Realm and the Devil King in the Devil Realm are the same. After reaching a certain level of strength, their progress becomes very slow. Although it's not impossible to improve, it's very likely that they will only make a tiny bit of progress after tens of thousands of years, which is almost equivalent to nothing."
"And some people can reach as high as the ninth ring, which is almost the pinnacle of power! In the Divine Realm, those who reach the ninth ring are called First-Level God, while in the Devil Realm, those who reach the ninth ring are called Devil King!"
After listening to Alice's explanation, Qi Ling couldn't help but ask, "But even so, shouldn't there be a significant difference in strength between people who are all at the ninth ring?"
"Of course! The difference can be terrifying sometimes!" Alice said. "After all, just like in your world, even among Titled Douluo, a level 99 Titled Douluo and a level 91 Titled Douluo have worlds apart in strength!"
"In the Divine Realm, such beings are called God King! They are beings of a higher rank than First-Level God. Although they also possess only nine God Ring, their strength differs greatly."
"In the Devil Realm, such beings are called Devil Emperor! Compared to Devil King, Devil Emperor also possess an absolutely enormous gap in strength, a gap that is almost insurmountable!"
Qi Ling couldn't help but ask curiously, "Huh? There are actually such beings in the Devil Realm? Then, Alice, how many Devil Emperor are there in the Devil Realm right now?"
Alice said with a strange expression, "Well, the number of Devil Emperor in the Devil Realm is... zero! That is, there isn't a single one."
"Not a single one? How is that possible!" Qi Ling exclaimed in surprise. "How... how could this be? Has no one of this level ever appeared in the Devil Realm before?"
"Hmm, of course not. If it didn't exist, then this level wouldn't exist," Alice said. "But it's a pity that there seems to have only ever been one Devil Emperor in the Devil Realm — the Blood Devil Emperor who once ruled the entire Devil Realm!"
"At that time, the Blood Devil Emperor Emperor's power was absolutely superior to everyone else's, perhaps even surpassing the Devil Emperor level! However, because the gap between him and others was so great, the Devil Emperor level seemed to have been prepared specifically for him, so no one bothered to delve into how to define the Blood Devil Emperor's power level."
Qi Ling said with a hint of surprise, "I see. That guy is actually that strong?"
"That's right, that's why this competition for the Blood Devil Emperor's Godhood has attracted the attention of the entire Devil Realm, and that's why you, who seem to have countless connections with the Blood Devil Emperor, have received so much attention!" Alice said.
The people in the Devil Realm at most only think that Qi Ling is the successor chosen by the Blood Devil. If they knew that Qi Ling was the reincarnation of the Blood Devil, who knows how they would react.
"In the history of the Devil Realm, many powerful Devil King have fallen, some of whom were even very close to becoming Devil Emperor!" Alice said. "However, since they are dead, everything has ultimately come to nothing."
"Right now, in the Devil Realm, there are seven people who have the best chance of reaching that level. They are also known as the Seven Great Devil Kings of the Devil Realm, and are the strongest people in the Devil Realm! Our big sister, the powerful woman known as the Demon Dragon Empress, is one of them!"
