Chapter 286 The Rising Tensions in Ulon City
The God of Darkness couldn't understand why he hadn't guessed these requirements sooner.
If he had, could he have created a race that Hanjun would love the most?
However, when he saw Hanjun interacting with the race he had created, teaching them knowledge, giving them a bit of his own power to help them survive, and chatting with them kindly, the God of Darkness felt quite annoyed.
He turned around to look at the races he had created.
They were already running wild, jumping around all over the place, with none of the harmony that Hanjun's side had.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The God of Darkness's expression darkened even more.
Moreover, the races he had created were so powerful that it became a bit of a problem.
They often caused trouble for the humans Hanjun had created, and the God of Darkness had to specifically punish those troublemakers.
But Hanjun merely said that such small matters didn't really matter; after all, they would all be living on the same world in the future.
The God of Darkness didn't care either—his creations were incredibly strong, and he didn't believe they would encounter any real problems.
But the problems arose precisely in this area.
The numbers of the dragon race, elves, and mermaids had mysteriously decreased, yet they had no natural enemies in this world.
So why was this happening?
At that time, Hanjun was preparing to comfort the God of Darkness, but what he heard instead was the God of Darkness saying, "..."
What did he say?
Hanjun slowly snapped out of his memories, forgetting what the God of Darkness had said back then.
He had been sitting on the roof of his old house for an entire day, and while he was there, no demon dared to disturb him.
Hanjun had not appeared in Ulon City for quite some time now.
The main reason was that this was their own battle, and they no longer needed Hanjun to interfere.
In this regard, Hanjun had already accomplished one of his goals.
That goal was to make people unite once again, to the point where even without him, an outsider, they could still save their own world.
After so many years, Hanjun could now understand that he had indeed made one mistake back then: he had interfered too much in human affairs and ended up getting himself involved too deeply.
Hanbin's reprimand was correct.
He could never treat humanity as if they were children who would never grow up, constantly staying by their side to protect them.
One day, humans would have to leave the gods who created them and carve out their own place in the world.
When that time came, it would also be time to say goodbye to them.
Having thought all this through, the most critical issue now lay before Hanjun.
When was Hanbin planning to make his move?
Not only was Ulon City stretched to its breaking point, but it seemed that the demons' power had also reached its limit.
They were all creatures created by Hanbin, and judging by their current numbers, they had reached the upper limit of what Hanbin's divine power could sustain.
If their numbers increased any further, Hanbin would no longer be able to handle them.
The power of gods is beyond human comprehension.
If Hanjun were to engage in a direct battle with Hanbin, Ulon City wouldn't even need the demons to act; their battle alone would reduce the city to ruins.
When that time came, a new battlefield would need to be established, one where both could unleash their full strength without restraint.
Hanjun had planned it this way, but he never expected things to escalate so quickly.
The battle for Ulon City had erupted into continuous conflict.
At any moment, magical lights flashed across the sky above Ulon City, accompanied by the endless sounds of shouting and cries for help.
Once again, Hanjun, just like before, chose not to intervene.
However, he noticed a group of players sneaking through the area with the fewest demons, managing to break through and arrive at the gates of the demon stronghold.

After obtaining a special mission item, Master PungPong and his group were beyond excited.
Despite the danger, they snuck out of Ulon City in secret.
This special item came from a mission where they dealt with a group of Order of the Shattering Light followers who had infiltrated Ulon City and successfully destroyed the protective barrier.
It was said that after they broke the barrier, they fled toward the Abyss Zone.
Several people from the Magic Tower pursued them for quite some time before finally capturing them.
After a few days of interrogation, it became clear how they managed to breach the barrier protecting Ulon City: they had willingly aligned themselves with the demon race, offering to lend their aid.
Initially, the demons didn't think much of them, but since they had no better options for dealing with Ulon City, and with humans now offering their loyalty, the demons saw no reason to refuse.
The demons taught the Order of the Shattering Light followers how to dismantle Ulon City's barrier, and as expected, they successfully entered the city.
Additionally, the demons gave the Order of the Shattering Light followers a token, promising that if they completed the task, they could flee to the Abyss Zone, where the demons would not harm them.
However, the demons had no intention of keeping their word.
If the Order of the Shattering Light followers could betray their own kind, why would the demons trust them?
This led to the token being ultimately worthless.
As a result, the people from Magic Tower ended up protecting the Order of the Shattering Light followers for most of the chase.
In their panic, the followers stumbled upon a building within the Abyss Zone that had not been destroyed by the demons.
This struck them as odd, so they entered to hide from the demons.
To everyone's surprise, the demons became even more aggressive, making it clear that they were enraged, as if the Order of the Shattering Light followers had committed an unforgivable crime.
