Chapter 76: Demon Girl
"Why is it a demon girl again? Not a Demon King?" Kaido asked helplessly.
"Of course, it's just a title. You can call yourself Overlord or even King, it doesn't matter." Raziel didn't care much; her personality was quite calm and not as serious as Kaido had imagined.
"Isn't that too casual?" Kaido sighed, then asked, "That little cat said I was your disciple. What's that about?"
"I accidentally lost that demon girl's book, and you coincidentally obtained it. Simple math, aren't you my disciple?" Raziel rubbed her temples. This child, how could he not even understand such simple logic?
*Was it truly because she had been living in seclusion for too long?*
"Isn't that a bit too casual?" Raziel retorted.
"This is not a coincidence. To you, it might be a coincidence, but for me and the witch's book, it was inevitable... Don't you wish to be my disciple?" Raziel asked with interest.
"That's not it." It could be said that everything he had now was facilitated by the witch's book, so Kaido wouldn't do something like burn bridges after crossing them.
He paused and then asked with a smile, "Let's not talk about anything else. Why did you summon me this time?"
"Not much, I just wanted to tell you that the witch's book has accumulated enough power to open the door to another world."
"Accumulated?"
"Yes, because it's incomplete, it needs to accumulate. And the source of that power is the people and events you've experienced. Everything you experience will be recorded in the book. The more it records, the stronger the demon girl's book becomes."
"I see." Kaido nodded.
"Oh, and one more thing." The confusion about the witch's book had been resolved. Besides, he was more interested in Raziel's identity.
"I only know your name now, but I never knew what you do. How about you reveal a little bit?"
"This matter..." Hearing him ask this, Raziel pondered for a moment, thinking it wasn't a big secret, then revealed her identity.
"Raziel Augustos Aurora, the supreme witch who travels between life and death, existence and demise. Mmm... because it's boring, my hobby is reading."
"Even your introduction is very casual." Kaido didn't press further.
There were no conspiracy theories, no dark and tragic motives.
As for her sole hobby, it seemed simple, but on second thought, the books outside were all independent worlds, and Kaido felt relieved.
A big shot who could play with countless worlds in the palm of her hand had no need for any small, unspeakable secrets.
"How long until my next Crossing?" Kaido asked, that was all he cared about.
"Anytime."
"Hmm, then I should be going." The Black-haired Youth nodded.
He had stayed in Godslayer too long. If he returned after leaving this time, he'd probably have to face the Last King, the big boss of Godslayer.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered something very important.
"After I leave this world, what will happen to the others who remain in it?"
"What else could happen? Of course, they'll continue to live normally. If you're worried about being gone for ten years, there's no need to worry. The passage of time between worlds is different. Under the influence of the demon girl's book, the world you're in will transform very quickly compared to other worlds."
"Can I bring people with me when I leave?"
"Any existence that can bond with you can follow you to the next world." Raziel also knew Kaido was worried about his harem, so she shook her head with a chuckle: "Alright, I'll make an exception and give you a benefit."
With that, Raziel sent a white light into the witch's book.
"When you travel to the other world, you'll enter a spatial corridor for transmission. However, before that, you'll remain in the gap between worlds. At that time, you can leave your girlfriends there to live, and after your departure, they can also travel between their original world and the gap world, so you won't have to worry about them getting bored."
"Thank you." Kaido smiled. Although he still couldn't take them, it was already the best outcome.
Whatever world he went to, that world's time would speed up many times, which was equivalent to other worlds almost standing still.
In that case, he wouldn't have to wait until all the beautiful women in this world were gathered before leaving, as it wouldn't be too late to return later.
After leaving the world, the witch's book would continue to affect the time of these worlds, making them pass between a week and a month upon his return, instead of remaining static like the worlds Kaido hadn't visited yet. Therefore, in the eyes of others, the situation of Kaido leaving and immediately returning wouldn't occur.
If there were no other things in the original world, they could live and train in the world gap. Time in the world gap was synchronized with Ling Yun's personal time. After his departure to a new world, time in these worlds would initially be faster than Kaido's personal time, but the flow rate would quickly decrease to a calm state. When they went to the world gap, they generally waited a week or more after Kaido's departure, at which point the elapsed time in these worlds would already be slower than Kaido's personal time.
Each time he arrived in a new world, Kaido would also frequently return to the world gap to spend time with them. Furthermore, upon returning, the time in the worlds he had already experienced would synchronize with the world gap, while the time in the new world remained practically static. When he returned after spending time with them, he wasn't delayed at all in the new world.

Returning to his original room from an unknown world, Erica and Liliana were still asleep. Alice's sleeping posture was still bad; she merely turned over.
The light in the room was quite dim, with only a few faint rays filtering through the gaps in the curtains and providing some illumination.
Raziel's methods were very subtle; even though he had disappeared for a while, these girls hadn't noticed.
However, this also indirectly proved that the one supporting him was actually a big shot.
Looking at the time, it was barely three in the morning, still several hours before dawn.
*Damn it, I forgot to ask where I'd be traveling in the other world.
Kaido slapped his head.
He opened the witch's book, trying to communicate with Raziel, but only saw a delicate line of text faintly emerge: "I've already found the answer, but I won't tell you yet."
Then it slowly faded.
*Blast!*
This witch was quite playful.
However, it didn't matter if he didn't know; as long as it wasn't a world like Marvel, Dragon Ball, or Hakoniwa, where planet-destroying powers were common, his strength would be enough to handle many situations.
After sleeping a bit longer with the beautiful girl in his arms, dawn broke.
"Prepare me a plane; I'm going to Mount Lu today."
Although Erica was somewhat surprised, she didn't ask much, simply prepared everything quickly.
The next thing Kaido had to do was simply say goodbye, along with describing his situation.
Although Luo Hao had no blood relation to him, after they became sworn siblings, she treated him with the utmost sincerity.
After much thought, Kaido decided to make the trip to Mount Lu.
Soon after, a white private jet landed at Jiujiang City's airport.
The Five Prison Sacred Sect, having received the news beforehand, specifically sent people to drive several luxury cars to greet him.
Looking at Lu Yinghua, who stood by the car door in a well-tailored suit, Kaido asked, "Why are you the one picking people up again?"
"My master told me to come. After all, Martial Uncle also knows my master's personality; she doesn't particularly like crowded places."
Lu Yinghua replied with a smile.
Ling Yun shrugged; he also knew that Luo Hao disliked modern technology and bustling places.
There wasn't much conversation on the way, only Alice, who was visiting China for the first time, occasionally exclaimed at the new sights.
---
Near the day, Mount Lu no longer showed houses.
Since this auspicious geomantic land was occupied by Luo Hao, the surrounding area was completely under martial law, and no one without permission could enter.
The magnificent peaks soared into the clouds, leaving behind modern cities full of concrete and steel.
Mount Lu, brimming with the essence of nature, was truly a rare and excellent place.
Moreover, the few mountains that had been shattered during his battle with Luo Hao some time ago had become lush and green.
"My master has been waiting above for a long time."
Lu Yinghua cupped his hands in a bow; the rest of the journey was not for him to undertake.
Without Luo Hao's permission, even if he went up the mountain on his own, he'd receive a slap that would leave him nearly dead.
The young master of the Lu family from Hong Kong watched Kaido's group, his gaze falling on the silver-haired loli standing beside Kaido, who had her arms crossed and hadn't said a word.
*Who was that girl? Could it be that Martial Uncle had developed a strange hobby?*
Thinking of this, Lu Yinghua's expression immediately became incredibly strange.
Kaido didn't know what Lu Yinghua was thinking; instead, he smiled and asked Athena beside him, "How is it? Are you scared?"
He reached out and stroked the little loli's hair.
She looked at him and shook her head slightly.
"Scared of what?"
"Of course, it's the leader of the Five Prison Sacred Sect, Luo Hao.
Everyone knows her personality, especially little children who cry just at the mention of her name."
"This concubine is not timid, and I have never known how to write the word 'fear'," Athena said sadly.
"Besides, I'll say it again: don't consider this concubine a child."
As she spoke, she pouted her lips.
*And you say you're not a child?*
Kaido shook his head, and after walking for another ten minutes, they finally reached the mountaintop.
Unlike the pleasant temperature at the mountain's mid-level, the plants and rocks were covered by a thin layer of white frost, and in the mist, a small hermitage stood.
Everyone could feel an immense but silent magical power emanating from within.
Erica, Liliana, and Alice set aside their playful moods and returned to their usual demeanor, while Athena also tensed slightly, not blinking.
Only Kaido remained calm and composed.
Pushing open the wooden door, a classical beauty in snow-white robes meditated on a futon, with a half-burnt stick of incense beside her.
Her closed eyes made him think of a white lotus emerging untainted from the mud.
"You've come."
When Kaido was not far in front of her, Luo Hao slowly opened her eyes and spoke in an elegant voice.
Her gaze lingered on Athena for only a few seconds before she withdrew it.
It was true that Godslayer and Heretic Gods were opponents, but with Luo Hao's talent, she could completely suppress her desire for battle.
Besides, Athena was now Kaido's prisoner, so it would be unreasonable for her to make a move.
"Something you need me for?"
Luo Hao asked again.
*What kind of conversation is that? Can't I just visit you if nothing's wrong?* Kaido chuckled. "But this time, there is an important matter I need to inform you about."
"How many times have I told you that you are my junior brother; you should call me 'Elder Sister'?" Luo Hao sighed faintly, her expression somewhat displeased.
"Alright, Elder Sister."
Kaido hadn't really developed that habit.
"Speak, what do you wish to tell your Elder Sister this time?"
Luo Hao was quite satisfied with Kaido's attitude, and the corners of her lips curved into a charming and beautiful smile.
"Actually, it's like this..."
Ling Yun made it as concise as possible, explaining that he was a transmigrator.
However, he still concealed some information, such as Raziel and the so-called "plot."
After a long while, Luo Hao, who seemed to have been resting with her eyes closed, exhaled softly.
Her face didn't show the surprise he expected; instead, there was only contemplation and concern.
Luo Hao's knowledge was undoubtedly much richer than Kaido's.
Although she devoted herself to cultivation, she wasn't a martial arts fanatic who knew nothing but martial arts.
The Underworld, the Divine Realm, and the strange authorities of the Heretic Gods existed, so other worlds weren't actually a big deal.
Luo Hao knew that Kaido still concealed some things, but she didn't deliberately press him for answers.
