Of course, it might just be that the Gold Level holds too small a share; as long as it doesn't reach a certain quantity, it can be disregarded.

"Thank you for your gift, Lord Demon King." Sarah lifted her head slightly, her eyes gazing at him, full of reliance.

Luo Yan nodded gently.

"This is the reward your loyalty deserves... please stand up."

Sarah got up from the ground, eagerly asking.

"Where are we heading next? Should we go further in?"

Luo Yan shook his head, casting his gaze toward the direction beyond the Nameless Wilderness — towards the abandoned ancient castle occupied by the Great Graveyard.

A slight smile curled on his lips, and he said softly.

"My followers are summoning me."

"It's time to return."

...

The dark and eerie ancient castle, the Resurrection Square under the watchful gaze of the Demon King Statue, where naked skeleton frames are bustling back and forth.

"Level 24 Acolyte looking for group! Can summon skeleton baby!"

"You're level 24 and can only summon skeletons?! Just delete your character, man!"

"Anyone need blue potions? 1000 Joss Paper per bottle! Last of the inventory!"

"Looking for a tank! Level 30 required! The higher the Constitution, the better!"

"....."

Recently, the presence of "Demon King's servants" here has been unusually high, making the Beastmen of the "Crown of Malice" Mercenary Group extremely nervous, thinking that a big battle is about to occur.

The leader of the Mercenary Group, Sano Black Hand, is pondering whether he should ask the next time the Demon King passes by here, just when his vision blurred, he saw a shadow falling at the entrance of the castle.

Beneath the black cloak—

It was the Demon King!

Sano's expression briefly trembled, quickly composed his thoughts, and bowed his head respectfully.

"Your Majesty."

"Hmm."

Luo Yan casually nodded in acknowledgment, his gaze swept past him to the Resurrection Square behind.

Their eye contact lasted for less than half a second.

Yet this simple action made Sano's heart leap fiercely.

There was no mistake!

That aura and pressure are definitely not something a Gold Level expert can possess!

Realizing what had happened to him, Sano's face gradually showed an incredulous expression, looking at Lord Demon King as if looking at a monster.

He still remembers that a month ago, when the Demon King had first arrived here, he was at the initial stage of Gold Level, how did he come back after a month out as Platinum?!

It's not just his strength.

His demeanor has undergone a radical transformation, adding a touch of coldness and lethalness to his previous elegance and simplicity.

That lethalness seemed to come from behind him—

As if thousands of souls were following him!

Sano was shocked.

Just how many creatures had he killed during this period?!

What shocked Sano more was not just these; his gaze quickly fell on Sarah behind Luo Yan.

The demon lady in the cloak was still an ice-cold beauty, silent, as if she were Lord Demon King's shadow.

Even though she was low-profile enough, Sano could keenly sense that her aura had changed drastically—becoming sharper and unfathomable!

"Could it be Sarah has also broken through?!" Shocked as he was, Sano couldn't help but feel a wave of envy spontaneously arise.

Recalling the great cost and years of cultivation it took for him to advance from Fine Steel Level to silver,

He eventually managed to upgrade to Gold Level, thanks to Lord Demon King's enlightenment beginning!

He has no doubt that Sarah also paid a great price, but her upgrade speed is too swift!

Seeing Sano's surprised expression, Luo Yan was slightly moved, casually opened his Attribute Panel.

For anyone whose Soul Level he has elevated, he can see their attributes... which is one of the Divine's privileges concerning followers.

Indeed!

Having been stationed for nearly a year on Chaos Planet, Sano had reached the peak of Gold Level—rising from the initial 71 to 90 Level!

Whether to help him upgrade, Luo Yan pondered for two seconds but ultimately decided to give him a hand.

Although their relationship is one of employment, he has worked under him loyally for a long time.

He's undoubtedly more trustworthy than someone like Thanos.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan began to speak.

"Sano Black Hand, I remember you once said that your sword shall forever be loyal to me, until the end of time's river."

Sano was slightly taken aback, looking at Luo Yan with slightly moved expression.

"You still remember..."

He certainly remembers saying those words, yet didn't expect Lord Demon King to remember them too!

"What you said and what you've done, I remember, and... I feel you've done well, showing fidelity to your promise," seeing Sano's moved expression, Luo Yan continued with a dignified tone, "Therefore, I decide to elevate your Soul a step further... This is the reward you deserve."

Sano froze completely, his eyes soon reflecting incredulity, trembling with excitement.

"Your Majesty... You, you're truly upgrading me?!"

He knows Lord Demon King possesses such capacity since before he has felt it once—that feeling of being bathed in divine light!

Yet he also believes, such good fortune can't be without cost, otherwise, Demon City would be full of High-level Demons.

Unexpectedly, this fortune once again descended upon him, and for a moment, Sano was overwhelmed with joy, his rugged face appearing somewhat baffled.
