Logically speaking, there were more than 9,000 Lattice Worlds. Even Xu Shenxing could not possibly remember every Lattice World. After all, there were many Lattice Worlds where he only appeared and killed the Demon King before leaving immediately.
The reason why he had an impression of this world was not only because it was one of the earliest Lattice Worlds he had entered. According to the order, it was at least in the top 100. At that time, although Xu Shenxing had already gathered the 12 Holy Swords in Oravia, his strength was not yet at the level where he could kill everything. More importantly, this world was one of the few that could be considered peaceful and liberated.
At that time, the Salvation Alliance, which was mainly composed of humans, had been forced into a desperate situation. After Xu Shenxing and his party appeared and achieved certain results, they had decided to gather all their forces to fight to the death. However, the Demon King suddenly withdrew his forces, gave up a large area of territory, and recalled the four Demon Generals and the 72 Demon Apostles back to Helcrown.
After the Salvation Alliance, which was already short of manpower, took over those territories, they fell into a predicament of a shortage of manpower. Naturally, they did not have the ability to send troops to pursue and continue to fight to the death with the Demon King's Army.
Even so, not many people were optimistic about the humans. After all, on the surface, the Demon King's Army was far stronger than the Salvation Alliance.
However, when Xu Shenxing and his party arrived at Helcrown after going through all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, the Demon King's Army readily surrendered.
The Demon King did not have the arrogance of most of the Demon Kings in the 9,000 Lattice Worlds. Instead, she was very self-aware. She knew that if Xu Shenxing and his party could pass through the obstacles she set up, it meant that the Demon King's Army was much stronger than hers. In order to avoid unnecessary demons sacrificing themselves, she chose to surrender.
The four Demon Generals, who had the right to oppose the Demon King's decision, had been taught a lesson by Xu Shenxing and his party along the way. Naturally, they knew that the Demon King's decision was not foolish. In fact, it was extremely wise. Otherwise, in just half a day, no one in Helcrown would be able to breathe except for the Hero and his party.
"The one who surrendered so readily back then was this Alina Gillquette."
After bringing the new Hero and the others to Finn's house, Xu Shenxing stood up and introduced the white-haired woman to Yi Qing and the others.
Unlike the middle-aged Finn, Eleena still looked like a young girl with her long side ponytail. But compared to the lifeless girl who sat on the demon king's throne like a porcelain doll, Eleena's expression was no different from a normal person's. She even gave off a sense of motherly kindness.
To put it simply, the Lord Demon King back then had completely become someone's wife.
After Finn whispered Xu Shenxing's true identity to her, the Former Demon King covered her cherry mouth with her hand and widened her eyes in surprise. But then she immediately smiled and nodded at him. "Long time no see, Your Excellency."
"Oh, long time no see …"
Because her temperament had changed so much, Xu Shenxing thought for a moment that he had mistaken her for someone else. "Looks like you and Finn are doing well."
"It's all thanks to you and your friends from fifteen years ago. Otherwise, I would still be bound by my duty to that painful throne."
Eleena, on the other hand, responded with a smile.
"Oh, that's good."
In this regard, Xu Shenxing also felt somewhat gratified.
As long as someone became happy because of his hasty actions back then, then the pain and suffering back then was not in vain.
"This time, I want to ask if you have any understanding of the current situation of the demon king's army."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xu Shenxing intended to get to the point.
However, as soon as he finished his question, his stomach rumbled.
"I've just finished cooking. Don't you want to come and eat?"
Eleena chuckled, her white side ponytail swaying slightly with her movements.
"Deference is no substitute for obedience."
Xu Shenxing was not pretentious. Without waiting for the new Heroes to speak, he decided on his own. "I've had enough of tasteless black bread."
The world's productivity was there. There were only a few kinds of dry food that could be carried on the road. It was undeniable that no matter what kind of dry food it was, it tasted very bad.
"Then don't eat when I feed you …"
The arrogant girl, whose spirit had been dampened by the previous duel, whispered softly behind Yi Qing.
Xu Shenxing happily decided to ignore her.
The Finns' lunch consisted of a fragrant milky white soup, freshly baked wheat bread, and steak that was fried in oil on an iron plate. Just the sight of it was enough to make one's appetite whet.
"Oh, oh, oh! Delicious! "
Xu Shenxing's eyes glowed as he ate. "This is definitely above average!"
"Thank you for your hospitality, Madam." Yi Qing thanked Eleena politely. "It's really delicious."
"Oh, damn it, isn't this delicious …" Lin Qianqian's mouth was stuffed with steak, and she was still mumbling incoherently. She looked a little dissatisfied. "It's so much better than the bento I made. Oh, is this the difference in the strength of a wife …"
"This lunch is very good for replenishing energy." Xia Xueyao also looked quite satisfied, but the direction of her satisfaction was not quite the same as the others. "This way, Yi Qing will have extra energy."
Eleena seemed to be a little embarrassed by using too much praise at once. She just smiled and nodded. "Plain tea is not enough to show my respect. I'm very happy that you're satisfied."
"Eleena's cooking is not bad now. In the beginning, it was really …"
Finn shuddered as he spoke, as if he was recalling the past that he could not bear to look back on.
Even the strongest man in the world was afraid of that kind of dark cuisine from the bottom of his heart.
"My dear, do you have any complaints?"
Eleena continued to look at her husband with a smile. Her smile did not change, but everyone felt that the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
She was indeed the Demon King. In a sense, her aura was really too strong.
"No, I love everything you make!"
Finn immediately replied with a strong sense of righteousness.
Eleena was probably very satisfied with her husband's tactfulness. She then regained her previous aura, making the audience relax.
"But it's really surprising." Lin Qianqian drank a mouthful of soup and chewed the soup inside. "There are fans in this world too. And this kind of chewy texture … Oh, it's really irresistible …"
"That's a Slime."
The little girl Eirinn, who had not spoken much, suddenly said.
"Hmm?"
Lin Qianqian's expression changed. "Slime? Is it that blue, sticky thing? "
She had also defeated many of these low-level monsters on the way here. But because of the nature of a girl, she always felt a chill when she saw Slime … It was second only to cockroaches.
"Because our house is very close to the Gloomy Forest, so in order to save money, many of the ingredients are sourced from the local area. The roasted mushrooms on the bread are the legs of the 'walking mushrooms', the steak is the meat of the Minotaur … What's wrong with you guys?" Eleena explained matter-of-factly.
But other than Xu Shenxing who was still eating as if nothing had happened, the new heroes did not seem to be in a good mood.
"That … May I ask where the toilet is?" Yi Qing raised her hand and asked with a pale face.
