He truly was timid.

But not the kind of cowardly timidity; his timidity was evident in concealing his true form, in fearing death and cherishing life.

Since he had plotted against the disciple of God, the Light God, would God take action personally?

It's unclear!

And those demon subordinates of his, each one of them wanted him dead—would they assassinate him and seize his position as Demon King?

This was also a hidden threat.

His residence in the capital city was fraught with dangers.

So he had long since calculated.

Leaving behind a shadow-controlled substitute in the center of the Demon Capital to attract hatred, flaunting his power, leaving the risks to his teacher Lilith.

Let's see if an assassination attempt would happen!

Moreover, he had his dear teacher expand his territory while he only needed to hide in the shadows to continue digesting the Divine Object and researching Shadow Magic.

"Unexpectedly, I don't need to hide at all?? As the Demon King in the capital city, I'm safe... As expected, they're still too kind?"

He revealed a menacing, peculiar smile, "No wonder they can't become Demon Kings."

"It's almost time for me to make my entrance."

Goliath's eyes showed a trace of cruelty, "Teacher Lilith is simply too foolish, only thinking about becoming a Subordinate God of God, corrupting him?"

"Utterly ridiculous!"

"That's a hidden threat in itself."

"Killing God and finding a way to become the mysterious itself is the true shortcut to power!"

His eyes flashed with greed.

As a true Demon King, how could he possibly serve under other powerful beings?

"Fifth tier, as long as I step into that realm, God might not be invincible either."

Demon King Goliath gave a cold smile.

"For now, let's suggest to that foolish woman to probe God a bit more."

He knew that foolish woman, Lilith, harbored a laughable and unrealistic dream: having feelings for God.

Being love-struck, how foolish is that?

God doesn't even care about Rilla, so how could he care about you, dead woman?

He quietly transformed into a shadow and left, while beginning to ponder over this vast land.

"Perhaps the cultivation of the world can be divided into Magic and realms."

"Magic only increases the likelihood of winning battles, a means to protect the path; the true strength is in realms."

He contemplated, as a Demon King of an era, his goals were higher.

He aimed to break through to the legendary fifth tier realm, becoming the strongest king in the world.

Even the mysterious God, he wished to trample beneath his feet!

...

Liu Jun walked across the land with a Metal Box.

The cities on the streets were decayed and corrupt, eroded by unknown slimes and dark red blood.

The entire world seemed to have reverted to the most primitive barbaric tribal era.

"What an impolite bunch."

The Box of God complained discontentedly, "Lazy and greedy, unwilling to build their homelands a little better."

"They even have a slave system, exploiting little demons to act as child labor."

On the streets, they saw little angel spheres, already fallen into little demons, round bodies wielding steel forks, energetically hopping about to work.

This era saw rampant slavery, exploiting their labor.

However, Shadow Magic was exploding, revealing a variety of new systems.

A new type of creature—the Shadow Demon—began appearing on this land.

It was a combination of the Shadow Demon King and the mysterious, a unique Dark Fairy.

The era was changing drastically, showcasing different potential.

"Oh God, will you just let them act recklessly like this?"

The Metal Box finally asked, "Hell has descended, the human world is dirty, your kind children have all turned into demons."

In its view, God should intervene, decisively helping Rilla win this battle, helping the God of Light Rex get his revenge!

Rather than having them choose to leave this land.

"God, the entire land is filthy; destruction is due," the Metal Box continued.

God slowly shook his head, "Why?"

The Box of God was puzzled, "There's no why! They are just so evil!"

The Divine Word: "What exists is reasonable; even evil has its value of existence."

The Box of God still couldn't grasp it.

God suddenly stopped by the roadside, speaking softly, "Whether this era should exist or not, let's talk with people of this era—it's easier to find the answer."

"If constantly filled with resentment in the Celestial Kingdom, eyes are more easily blinded by hatred."

God was walking on this land.

Hell was also his kingdom.

God saw a weary pale youth in a bar in the Green Shade Territory.

The pale youth gazed intently at this cloaked traveler, face flashing with shock, fear, complexity, finally turning calm.

"Friend, would you like to sit down for a drink?" suddenly, the youth asked.

Liu Jun nodded, walked over, and sat down.

The youth smiled, "How does your excellency view this era?"

Liu Jun smiled, "I'll share my thoughts, and you share yours."

"Alright! That's fair!"

The pale youth's mouth curled into a smile, "What's your opinion then? This era is very evil; do you think God would destroy it?"

The Box of God paused.

God had just said, let's ask the people's view in the era.

But how come it all happened so coincidentally now?

How come people in the era were so proactive to ask?

Still, it got excited, looking towards this God, wanting to see his explanation of not helping Rilla.

Rex's death was sudden, perhaps beyond help.

But in Rilla's battle, clearly he could help her win, avenging Rex.

"Everyone will die, whether good or evil."

God sat back in the Green Shade Territory bar, for the third time returning here.

This was the starting point of God Li Wei, each time the Green Shade Territory offered something different, as the era evolved with different colors.

"Have you read the story of the Xiangtuo Myth?"

God seemed to recall the past:

"After Xiangtuo's resurrection, he wasn't saddened by the footless bird's death because he knew everyone dies, he just happens to die a little later."

The Metal Box listened to God's voice, feeling it conveyed a kind of calm born of years of experience.

Perhaps in his eyes, life's meaning was inherently different.

"This era may be very evil."

God said softly:

"Good people have value as good people; bad people have value as bad people."

"Even a dog by the roadside has its place."

"Demons in hell, too, should die with purpose, with value."

"Using them to withstand the next Divine Trial, as consumables, is that not good?"

He did hold some affection for Rex, but not much.

Further, he knew when Rex stepped into that world, wielding the butcher's knife, he would inevitably die by the knife.

This was Rex's choice.

This was a racial conflict, a faction battle, inherently without right or wrong.

Who said darkness must be evil?

Essentially, it's just a different faction under the Divine Objects.

Now, this era seemed ceaselessly fighting and ruthlessly cruel, but it was also their Demon Race's way of survival.

"Hahaha." Goliath looked at the figure raising a drinking glass in front of him, suddenly filled with enthusiasm, "Makes sense, makes sense indeed!"

"I've shared my view, now it's your turn," God said calmly.
