Once, I wanted to be a good person

....

Meanwhile.

In the demigod realm of Dahei Jialuo.

As the most important retreat for a demigod, the demigod realm, which consumed such enormous resources, naturally has its special aspects.

Not to mention other things, just talking about a sphere with a diameter of more than ten meters, but once you enter inside, you'll find that it almost resembles a complete small planet, which is enough to prove the preciousness of a demigod realm.

Moreover, this planet is not barren at all; on the contrary, it has earth, blue sky, sun, moon, stars, warm winds, lush trees, delicate blooming flowers, and ancient, quaint temples....

However: most of these are fake. They are illusions created by Dahei Jialuo's divine power.

The sun, moon, and stars are fake, the mountains and rivers are fake, even the land and trees are fake. Only the temple and the monks inside are real. And that is the core of the entire demigod realm, also the important source of Dahei Jialuo's divine power!

According to the Flower God, the divine power of a demigod is not generated out of thin air. Besides naturally recovering over time, there are two other ways: one is to actively convert the Power of Laws to supplement it; the other is provided by believers.

This is also why the demigod realm can provide divine power to demigods descending into the real world: storing a large amount of high-purity Power of Laws that can be converted into divine power, and the divine power gathered from the day and night prayers of demigod believers.

At this time, Bai Zhi, Miaomiao, and Bai Ling were staying in the side hall of the temple that stores divine power, chatting.

Eating the fresh fruits stored by Dahei Jialuo, Bai Ling, who was sitting on a chair, secretly looked at Miaomiao while leaning toward Bai Zhi and whispered, "Bai. I feel like Fang Ze is challenging you!"

Upon hearing Bai Ling's words, Bai Zhi, who had returned to her true form, was wiping a treasured sword and said unconcernedly, "Challenging? Where do you see that?"

Bai Ling secretly pointed at Miaomiao across from them and whispered, "You two aren't married yet, but he's already brought a little lover in front of you."

Hearing Bai Ling's words, Bai Zhi glanced at Miaomiao, then whispered, "Nonsense. That's his childhood sweet...."

Halfway through speaking, Bai Zhi suddenly paused: because she felt it wasn't even as good as a little lover.

Seeing Bai Zhi listened, Bai Ling mysteriously added, "And besides her, don't forget there's a woman always hiding in Fang Ze's pants."

"A woman hiding in Fang Ze's pants?" Bai Zhi asked curiously, "How do you know?"

Bai Ling proudly said, "My eyes are sharp! With my Black Panther Ability activated, how can he hide if someone is hidden on him?"

Upon hearing Bai Ling's words, Bai Zhi suddenly realized: the Black Panther Ability can see the changes in fortune, so if Fang Ze has two groups of luck, it can indeed be discovered.

Bai Ling continued, "At first, I didn't dare to believe it! But I've been secretly observing him these days and found he occasionally talks to his pants and sometimes a woman's voice replies!"

Upon hearing Bai Ling's words, Bai Zhi: ....

After a moment, she spat, "Too lewd!"

Bai Ling agreed, "Right! I also think they're too lewd!"

Bai Zhi knocked Bai Ling on the head, "I mean you. Staring at Fang Ze's pants the whole time is also too lewd."

Bai Ling: ???

Seeing Bai Ling's dumbfounded look, Bai Zhi chuckled and shook her head, then continued to wipe her sword.

With Bai Zhi's wit and strength, could it be that what Bai Ling discovered, she wouldn't notice?

She just didn't say anything.

Moreover.... the little lover Fang Ze brought out is more than just those two. Doesn't a certain someone suspect their identity isn't simple?

Thinking of this, Bai Zhi looked up at Bai Ling, then continued to bow her head and wipe the sword....

At this moment, sitting opposite Bai Zhi and Bai Ling, Miaomiao was sitting quietly and neatly on a chair. Beside her was a plate of valuable fruits from the outer realm, but she was a bit reserved and hadn't touched any.

Bai Ling thought she spoke in a low voice, but there were only three people in the room, and Miaomiao, being a Spirit Ascension master herself, couldn't have missed it.

So.... hearing their conversation, Miaomiao furtively glanced at Bai Zhi and then at Bai Ling, her hands resting properly on her legs slightly clenched, and her head slightly lowered....

....

Meanwhile.

In the Late-Night Investigation Room.

Looking at the Fiend Codex standing in front of him, Fang Ze, having finished writing the reform content, also holding a notebook, began his experiment,

Fang Ze, "Fiend Codex, can you understand what I'm saying?"

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, the Fiend Codex's expression turned ferocious, raising its arm as thick as a thigh, as if wanting to crush Fang Ze's neck.

However.... when its hand was about to reach the level of Fang Ze's neck, a look of horror suddenly flashed across its face!

It frantically glanced around, seemingly fearing something.

After a moment, the fear on its face disappeared, seemingly relieved, then.... once again raised its hand to strangle Fang Ze.

But, as with the previous scenario, as the Fiend Codex began to act, fear once again crossed its face, frantically halting its actions.

Seeing this, Fang Ze nodded slightly, then patiently recorded the information in his notebook.

Thus, the Fiend Codex repeated its actions about five times before finally restraining its urge to kill Fang Ze, standing there nervously, looking at Fang Ze with a slight hint of fear in its eyes.

Fang Ze drew a circle on the fifth record of his notebook, then opened his mouth to inquire again, "Answer my question. Can you understand what I'm saying?"

As Fang Ze asked his second question, the Fiend Codex's face immediately showed a terrified expression; after a moment, it nodded.

Fang Ze, satisfied, picked up the notebook and jotted down the observation.

In the Holy Reformation Room, to validate control through the threat of death, Fang Ze specifically left a "control group": when asking questions, the Fiend Codex could freely choose to respond or not without triggering a death threat; but if Fang Ze prefaced with "Answer my question," those six words meant the Fiend Codex had to respond. If it didn't, Fang Ze had the authority to obliterate it.

Of course, for his own safety, Fang Ze also set limitations for the Fiend Codex during the experiment: such as not being able to harm him, use divine power, divine skills, or transmit information outside, etc.

This is also why the Fiend Codex's initial attempt to harm Fang Ze provoked a threat of obliteration.

Recording the experiment results, Fang Ze looked up and commanded, "Turn around in place."

Looking at Fang Ze, this time, although the Fiend Codex didn't attempt to kill Fang Ze, it didn't follow the command either.

Fang Ze made a simple note, then repeated the previous command, "Immediately turn around in place!"

Just like the spoken "trigger words," when Fang Ze used "immediately," it implied a mandatory order.

This time, the Fiend Codex bared its teeth, grimacing, and started turning in circles on the spot.

Fang Ze again made a note in his notebook: The Divine Fiend won't obey human commands in the short term, only heeding those involving threats of death.

But this was enough. As long as Fang Ze preset the trigger keywords, he could use the Holy Reformation Room to control the Divine Fiend at will for any task!

Combined with the Divine Fiend's indestructible body; immense combat prowess; and the 100% execution rate due to its obedience instinct, Fang Ze felt it was indeed the fastest way to expand his power and enhance his strength!

Not to mention the future control and creation of Divine Fiends would instantly boost Fang Ze's strength manifold with just the Twin Divine Fiend he recently acquired with the Fiend Codex!

"Indeed, the outer realm is an excellent place for enhancing skills! Old Mr. Bai didn't deceive me!"

So, with this in mind, Fang Ze continued various experiments with the Fiend Codex.

Besides these obedience tests, Fang Ze also experimented and refined the tasks a Divine Fiend could perform concerning task complexity, parallel task acceptance, language residue, memory residue, and more.

After completing all the experiments, Fang Ze finally acquired a comprehensive report and conclusion on the coordinated application of the Holy Reformation Room.

Additionally, through these experiments, Fang Ze stumbled upon several surprises....
