"Lord Roy, we have arrived in Nichols City."
Upon hearing the transmission from Kelston, Roy woke up from his meditation.
Stepping out of his room, Roy saw the other seven members of the group on the deck of the metal life airship.
"Yabo, Jodie."
After greeting Yabo and Jodie, Roy nodded to Kelston and the others.
"Haha, Roy, we've been waiting for you."
Yabo laughed, while Jodie maintained his usual aloof style.
"Well, let's go down first."
After Roy and the others had descended from the metal life, Yabo shrank it and stored it in a spatial ring.
Nichols City was a medium-sized city, several times larger than Birel City.
The number of people was also incomparable to Birel City or Sanhe City.
Moreover, the majority of the people coming in and out of Nichols City were god-level powerhouses.
There were also a fair number of mid-level and high-level gods.
In a place like this, Yabo and Jodie dared not be as reckless as they were in Birel City. They obediently stopped several tens of miles outside Nichols City, stored the metal life, and entered the city gates with the crowd after paying the entry fee.
As a medium-sized city, the entry fee for Nichols City was one piece of dark stone.
The group arrived at the Devil's Castle in Nichols and handed over the delivered items to the castle's personnel before submitting the mission.
After completing this task, Kelso and his team successfully passed the Demon Assessment and became a one-star demon.
As for Roy, judging from the demon medals recorded by Yabo and Jordy, his strength has reached the level of a three-star demon.
Even so, Roy can only be considered a one-star demon who has just completed the assessment.
However, with the introduction of Yabo and Jordy, Roy has entered the circle of three-star demons and gained recognition from some people.
After receiving the demon medal, when he saw a mission to go to the direction of the teleportation array in the Crimson Flame Mansion plane, Roy accepted it along the way. After greeting Yabo and Jordy, he began his journey.
Surprisingly, even though he was only a mid-level god, Roy, who was recognized as a three-star demon, enjoyed the treatment that corresponded to his strength.
In his interactions with these demons, Roy also broadened his horizons.
The position they were in, the 108 Mansions of Hell, was subordinate to the Crimson Flame Mansion. Around the Crimson Flame Mansion, there were thirty major cities, each with millions of medium-sized cities, and countless small cities under each medium-sized city.
Beyond the small cities, there were tribes everywhere.
In Hell, there was no independent survival for the Holy Domain.
Therefore, the founder of each tribe is at least a lower god.
For medium-sized tribes, the tribal leader must be at least a mid-level god.
Only high-level gods can become the leaders of large tribes.
In the small cities, the Holy Domain occupied the majority, and lower gods and mid-level gods were considered people of status in the small cities.
In medium-sized cities, you can hardly see the Holy Domain. Lower gods and mid-level gods are the main population of the medium-sized cities. Only high-level gods or people with three-star or higher demon medals can be considered somewhat prestigious.
In the big cities, there are a lot of high-ranking gods, and three or four-star demons are considered low-level. Only demons with five stars or above can be considered strong.
As for the capital city, it goes without saying.
Anyone who doesn't have the strength of a six-star demon or higher shouldn't speak recklessly.
"I'm still weak..."
Whether it's from the mouths of these demons or from Roy's memories of this world in his past life, he deeply realizes that his current self is at most evolved from an ant to a flea.
In front of those powerful individuals, even if he were to be killed, they wouldn't care.
Thinking of this, after bidding farewell to the other high-ranking demons in the task, Roy entered the room of the metal lifeform and began to comprehend and integrate the mystical rules, as well as develop a series of techniques based on the integrated rules.
Time passed as Roy completed demon tasks while practicing.
By the time Roy arrived at the teleportation array in the Crimson Flame Mansion, over 1,300 years had passed.
And during these years, Roy had participated in three trials for demon promotion and became a true four-star demon.
"Shoo!"
Roy's figure appeared in the sky above the teleportation array.
On the massive array, blue light occasionally flashed.
Every time the light flashed, one or several people would appear on the teleportation array.
Among these people, the majority were from the Holy Domain, with occasionally a few lower gods.
These people had come to Hell through the teleportation array in countless material planes.
In the material planes, the concentration of elements is tens of times lower than in the God Realm and the Supreme Realm. Those who can become a Holy Domain or even a god-level powerhouse in such an element-scarce place, regardless of their comprehension or aptitude, far surpass those born in the God Realm and the Supreme Realm.
Ninety to ninety-five percent of these holy realms can be promoted to god realms.
As for god-level realms, aside from those who have refined their divine essence and become gods, more than fifty percent of those who became gods on their own can become high-level gods among one thousand people who became gods on their own.
This is the value of individuals who come from material planes to the divine planes and even the highest planes.
For countless tribes in the inferno, these individuals who come from material planes are the most precious talents.
As long as a holy realm is obtained and cultivated for hundreds or even thousands of years, a god-level powerhouse will emerge within the tribe, increasing its strength. This is a profitable and risk-free transaction.
Basically, every day, there are countless strong individuals from tribes coming to the dimensional teleportation array to choose those who come from material planes.
However, although there are many people from material planes coming to the divine planes and even the highest planes every day, when differentiated further, there aren't many people from each divine plane or highest plane.
Typically, holy realms or god-level individuals from material planes will choose an elemental divine plane that aligns with their own affinity. It is rare for them to actively go to the four highest planes.
Therefore, even though there are countless material planes and hundreds of people coming to the inferno plane every day, the number of individuals is still limited.
Generally, these individuals will be taken care of by the main divine legion responsible for guarding the dimensional teleportation array. During this period, they can freely choose a tribe they like to join. Of course, this period lasts for a hundred years.
If, within a hundred years, these individuals from material planes have not chosen a tribe, they will be expelled from the protected area by the main divine legion and are free to roam in the inferno.
In the temporary camp where the main divine legion settles these individuals from various material planes, there are several mid-level gods recruiting manpower and explaining the benefits of joining their tribes to these talented individuals from various material planes.
Under the surge of divine power, this metallic life suddenly expanded and transformed into a large metallic life, over three hundred meters wide and over one thousand five hundred meters long.
To be honest, Roy was quite shocked to bring out this metallic life for the first time. He had completed hundreds of demon tasks in the past one thousand five hundred years and had ridden on various metallic lives, numbering at least eighty if not a hundred.
However, he had never seen a metallic life as big as the one Laurent had given him.
No, not even half its size.
As expected, Roy believed that Laurent's background was impressive, considering his ability to contact the main god and have the main god personally assist in building the city walls. Even if he was not a child of the main god, he was undoubtedly a messenger or something similar.
After soaring the metallic life into the sky, Roy flew up and stood at the front of the flying ship, addressing the people in the camp.
"Everyone, the Crimson Flame Mansion in Sanhe City urgently needs manpower. Those who want to go to Sanhe City with me, please come aboard."
"Sanhe City? A city?"
"Yes, it should be. And judging from the wary looks of those intermediate gods behind, the one coming after me is not ordinary."
"That's right. I've been here for a few years, and everyone who comes here talks about tribes and such. I used to think this place was backward, but now it seems that backwardness is only due to their weakness."
Upon hearing Roy's voice, the people in the camp became engrossed in discussion, gathering in groups of three or two to chat.
Roy didn't say anything more to the dozens of people below. Instead, he waited for everyone to quiet down before activating his Divine Domain and enveloping the over 400 people. He then spoke to them, "Alright, everyone, welcome to the Three Harmonies City."
"Now, you can choose your rooms in the order you came up. We will be recruiting another 10,000 members here. During the waiting period, you can cultivate in your rooms or assist me in recruiting new members."
"Of course, the most important thing is that we are now one big family. I hope everyone will get along well. If anyone dares to be arrogant on this metal life, I will show them what true arrogance is!"
"Yes, sir," the people replied.
Satisfied with their response, Roy nodded and dispersed his Divine Domain.
After experiencing the terrifying power of Roy's Domain, the people who had boarded the metal life dared not disobey his words and began choosing their preferred rooms in the order they had arrived.
With Roy's assurance, the Domain Masters were not afraid of a few god-level powerhouses. They simply entered the rooms they liked and closed the doors.
Soon, these people began entering the rooms one after another, and most of the people on the airship found their way into the rooms, leaving only one person standing there.
