With the King of Greed dead, Huang Yi instantly felt that the suffocating pressure on him eased for a moment.

The King of Greed was an indispensable force supporting the Demon Race Microcosm. Without him, the Demon Race Microcosm immediately seemed to have lost a crucial supporting pillar. Countless demigods and void gods under him also carried the heavy burden of maintaining the microcosm’s stability.

Now, this force was lost in an instant, and the Demon Race could no longer sustain this massive microcosm!

Originally, the Demon Race Microcosm was already unstable, and now it was even worse, with fractures appearing everywhere, leading to collapse and destruction all around!

During this brief moment, Huang Yi quickly took back the Queen of Agony, flapped the Sun-Chasing Dragon’s Wings, retrieved the Wrath of the Godslayer, and fled frantically towards the distance, disappearing almost instantly.

The King of Hell glanced in the direction Huang Yi escaped but didn’t waste time chasing him down.

Even though he was furious to such an extent, he still maintained his rationality; he knew this was only Huang Yi’s incarnation, and chasing him in anger would be pointless. The Demon Race Microcosm was crucial, and not a moment could be delayed.

The King of Hell waved his hand, and the entire Star of Greed immediately trembled violently, seemingly under some irresistible pressure.

In the next moment, the entire huge Star of Greed began to accelerate its fragmentation. The gap initially caused by the Sagittarius Constellation quickly expanded, with enormous cracks appearing everywhere, as if the entire planet was about to collapse completely.

At this time, from afar, two figures suddenly flew towards and stopped in front of the King of Hell.

It was the long-quiet T.N.T and Miyamoto Musashi.

"Fire God, Martial Emperor, you are late!" The King of Hell said calmly.

"Where is the God of Slaughter?" T.N.T and Miyamoto Musashi asked simultaneously, looking around the empty starry sky but not seeing Huang Yi, their gaze stopping on the two large chunks of flesh that was the King of Greed.

Seeing those two large chunks of flesh, they were shocked internally, not expecting the once-arrogant King of Greed to have turned into two undignified lumps of flesh.

"The God of Slaughter has already escaped! But he’s only an incarnation; chasing him down is not meaningful. Solving the Sagittarius problem is the immediate priority. I need to focus all my energy on refining the Star of Greed to solve the microcosm collapse issue! I command you to immediately search for Sagittarius, and upon finding it, immediately communicate with me. I will immediately descend and subdue Sagittarius!" The King of Hell instructed.

"Yes!" T.N.T and Miyamoto Musashi nodded and were about to leave.

"Wait!" The King of Hell suddenly stopped them, his voice softened, "Fire God, Martial Emperor, you have been with my Demon Race for quite some time, and I have neglected you in these nights. My rule is always clear rewards and punishments. The Demon Race now urgently needs people, and if you perform well and make great contributions, I will not be stingy with rewards. If the Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon can become the New King, so can you. Now I will first bestow upon you a transformation!"

After finishing, the King of Hell extended a long snow-white hand and waved it towards the corpse of the King of Greed.

In an instant, the two lumps of flesh began to wriggle violently, and then with a "poof", two items flew out.

These were two bloody black hearts, beating strongly with a clear "thud thud" sound.

"The King of Greed had three hearts of greed. Previously, he gave one to the Heavenly Demon, hoping he would conquer the 300th floor of the Tower of Pantheons’ Purgatory, but unfortunately, he failed his mission, which disappointed me. Now that the King of Greed is dead, these two hearts are a reward for you. With your strength, you should quickly refine them, significantly enhancing your power to slay stronger enemies. I hope you will not disappoint me." After the King of Hell finished speaking, the bloody hearts fell into T.N.T and Miyamoto Musashi’s hands.

The two of them were stunned for a while, then stared at the hearts, showing a look of ecstatic joy.

The great might of the King of Greed lay in his heart, a heart known as Greed, capable of self-absorbing all energy and converting it into divine power. There were three in total.

A new player entering the Virtual World, as long as they can refine a heart of greed, can immediately leap from level 1 to 99 in the Spirit Domain, from level 100 to 199 in the Holy Domain, from level 200 to 299 in the Heavenly Realm, reaching the 300 level stage of the Divine Domain!

With just a single heart of greed, a player can reach max level, far more effective than any demon core or level-up potion.

If a max-level demigod obtains a heart of greed, they will directly become a void god.

If a void god obtains a heart of greed, their power will increase enormously, surpassing opponents of the same level.

Aside from a strong figure like the King of Hell, the heart of greed is a treasure worth cities to any expert, enough to elevate their capabilities by several scales.

T.N.T and Miyamoto Musashi had been sidelined for a long time without receiving such valuable rewards.

"Thank you, Lord King of Hell! Thank you, Lord King of Hell!" T.N.T and Miyamoto Musashi quickly bowed, repeatedly expressing their gratitude.

"Go quickly to search for Sagittarius; it must be causing chaos around, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find!" The King of Hell waved his hand.

"Yes!" With contentment, T.N.T and Miyamoto Musashi departed.

...

The last time refining the Star of Pain was to inject the planet’s energy into the Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon and couldn’t be rushed, so it took a long time.

But this time, the King of Hell did not need to inject the energy of the Star of Greed into anyone’s body; it was pure refinement, and the Star of Greed was already damaged, making the process much faster.

Before long, the entire Star of Greed completely shattered, its planetary material turning into a vast red energy, which from the outside of the Demon Race Microcosm appeared like a red nebula. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

This vast red energy rapidly flew in all directions within the microcosm, pouring in through the dense cracks, repairing them as good as new.

The Demon Race Microcosm gradually stabilized and was no longer collapsing.

The King of Hell refined the Star of Greed as an arm-saving strategy, a measure of last resort.

Once a small world reaches a certain size, the power needed to maintain its stability increases exponentially. For example, doubling a small world’s space may require four times the power to maintain stability, which is disproportionate.

The King of Hell’s active abandonment of the Star of Greed both obtained vast energy to repair the microcosm and reduced the Demon Race Microcosm’s area, significantly reducing the power needed to maintain the microcosm, solving the current shortage of Demon Race manpower.

But with consecutive losses of the Star of Pain and Star of Greed, the Demon Race Microcosm’s area has shrunk considerably, no longer holding the position of the largest small world in the Mortal Realm, severely impacting the Demon Race’s dignity.

Under the King of Hell’s hood, a seemingly heavy gaze observed this reduced microcosm.

If not for his support, with only the remaining four Demon Kings, the Demon Race would merely be a common top cosmic race, incapable of sustaining its former overlord prestige.

Could the Demon Race truly inevitably decline?

But soon, the King of Hell clenched his fist again.

As long as he can refine The Second World, obtain the legendary Crystallization of the Divine King, any cost can be endured!

Then, all lost will return, and what has never been owned will be possessed!
