The Abyss, in Demon King’s palace.
Demon King looked at the Lust Lord Asmodeus, Glutton Lord Beelzebub, Sloth Lord Belial. They were the lords and the evil rulers who had gone to the human world from the very beginning.
Four of the Seven Lords of the Abyss were about to go to the human world.

But when he thought of Abraham, Demon King could not help but frown, sinking into his memories.
Ten thousand years ago
The Abyss was not yet unified. At that time, Demon King was not the ruler of Abyss yet.
In that era, the Abyss was divided into groups of demons. Powerful demons were everywhere, and no one was willing to submit to anyone.
As time passed, Demon King gradually grew up. His powerful cultivation talent allowed his strength to quickly catch up with the other veteran demons.
For tens of millions of years, no demon had been able to unify the Abyss. Finally, after Demon King had fully grown up, he led a trend of unification.
The final piece of the puzzle for the unification of the Abyss was in the hands of an old demon. The demon in charge of that race was Abraham’s father.
Abraham’s father was a very tough person. His race’s temperament and appearance did not match at all.
At that time, Demon King was on his way to unify the Abyss. Demon King had almost conquered the entire Abyss. The last piece of the puzzle was the Abraham family.
Abraham, who had just been born, was still a baby in someone’s arms.
After Demon King had slaughtered his entire family, he picked up Abraham from his mother’s arms, who was still sleeping soundly. The young Demon King’s heart, which had been numbed by years of war, suddenly softened up.
With the principle of eradicating the obstacles entirely, he did not know how many families he had slaughtered on his way to hegemony. At this final step, his heart finally softened. He adopted Abraham, gave him his name and taught him cultivation.
This time, he sent the vanguard army to the human world. Because Abraham was the one he trusted the most, he did not hesitate to send him out.
However, after such a long time, not a single piece of news came back. This was a very unusual thing.
Although he always said that there were many strong warriors in the human world and that it was very difficult for him to make a move, it was not to the extent that there was not even a single piece of news from him.
Demon King could not help but wonder if Abraham knew about what had happened back then. Did he have the intention of betraying the Abyss long ago?
When he thought of his adopted son betraying him without any warning, Demon King’s pressure instantly soared. The lords stood with their heads lowered. They were so frightened that they trembled.
Fortunately, he did not see their trembling faces. Ever since they came to the main hall, Demon King had only glanced at them and remained silent. Then, we went into furious without any reason.
After a while, Demon King regained his calm and reorganized his thoughts.
“I asked you to come today.”
Demon King’s dignified and deep voice rang out in the hall.
When the three of them heard Demon King finally speak, they pricked up their ears and listened attentively.
“In a few days, the space passage between the two worlds will stabilize again. At that time, I will forcefully connect the two worlds. At that time, the three of you will follow me to conquer the human world.”
As soon as Demon King finished speaking, the three of them were ecstatic. They had finally waited for this day!
“We will obey the orders of Your Highness.”
The three of them answered in unison, their voices filled with surprise and joy.
“Remember, the main purpose of this expedition is to bring back the princess. Also, try your best to investigate the current situation of the human world and obtain information.”
Demon King’s voice continued to echo in the plain hall, arranging the expedition in every detail.
No one in the entire Abyss knew the final outcome of the four’s discussion. They only knew that the three lords were full of excitement when they left the hall.
Unlike the gloomy atmosphere in the Abyss, the atmosphere in Rock City was very cheerful.
As more and more people came to drink, the news of the incandescent lamp gradually spread in the city.
The deeper everyone’s understanding of electricity and the incandescent lamp, the more they looked forward to their own homes being able to use it. After all, with electricity, the era of oil lamps would end.
Every day, they watched the people of the governor’s mansion carry thick poles between the main street and the back street.
The residents asked curiously and knew that these were thick poles. They were important tools to transmit electricity to every household. Everyone hoped that they could help and let their own homes use electricity as soon as possible.
At night, the governor and the officer came to the tavern. They had not visited the tavern since Alan left the governor’s mansion.
“Would the two of you like to try my new wine?”
Alan looked at the two people who had not come to drink for a long time and asked.
“We’re here to drink new wine.” Kramer replied.
For the governor who was partial to Lafite, Burning Knife Soju was a little too intense. However, for the governor who was partial to whiskey, drinking Burning Knife Soju occasionally was a very enjoyable thing.
The two of them sat in the tavern and chatted idly. As they looked at the busy Alan and Yupanki, they could not help but sigh at the changes in the tavern during this period of time.
“Alan is really amazing. There’s nothing bad about the wine he made. Now, he even made such a convenient invention.”
As the governor spoke, he stretched out a hand and pointed at the incandescent lamp on the top of the tavern.
“That’s right. Other than the slight regret of not being able to cultivate, Alan is indeed perfect.”
Governor Kramer also sighed.
Alan helped Yupanki busy himself for a while before returning to the bar counter. He planned to discuss his plan with the governor and the officer.
“Governor…”
“Hey, Little Alan, didn’t I already say that as long as it’s not work time, you don’t have to be formal.”
Kramer interrupted Alan after hearing the address.
“Sorry, sorry, Uncle Kramer.” Alan smiled and started again.
“I want to discuss with you about the popularization of electricity. After the electricity in the Elf Tavern is connected, the next step is to popularize electricity and incandescent lamps throughout the city.”
Hearing Alan’s words, the governor and the administrative officer nodded repeatedly. They did have the same idea, but they hadn’t had the time to communicate with him yet.
“I think it can be done this way. It will be difficult for the entire city to use electricity at the same time, but it is still possible to connect a few important places in Rock City and all the streets to electricity first. It is just that Bart and Shaman will have to work a little harder.”
Right now, the production progress of both generators and incandescent lamps was relatively slow. It was not ideal to rely solely on the speed of Shaman and Bart.
Recently, Alan had been discussing with Bart how to speed up the production process.
As they listened to Alan’s plan, Kramer and Severino’s plans, which were not yet perfect, gradually became clear in their minds.
The electricity that Alan mentioned was replacing magic power, and the widespread use of electric lights in the entire city. This the future development of Rock City. After listening to Alan, Kramer and Severino looked forward to it.
In the Imperial City, in the princess’s residence
Olivia and Stanton sat opposite each other with solemn expressions.. They were discussing something important.
