Dark lord dismissed everyone from the palace and went back to his room. Inside, Luise sat on the bed, waiting for his arrival with a smile. As he entered the room, she couldn't resist a playful tease, calling him "my king," just as everyone else had been doing.

A sly smile tugged at the corners of the Dark Lord's lips as he approached near close to her face. "Oh, so now even you are addressing me as king?" he chuckled, enjoying the teasing.

Luise blushed slightly, her heart pounding. "Well, you are the king now, aren't you?" she replied, trying to mask her nervousness.

Dark lord playfully teased her, "I am the king now, so...", he closed the distance between their face more.

Luise felt something was wrong from his words and wanted to run but the dark lord held her hand firmly.

"Where are you trying to run by leaving your king behind?" His smile took on a mischievous edge.

Her heart raced, and her cheeks flushed red as she blushed.

"Please let me go, I won't tease you anymore," she pleaded.

"Do you think I can let you go now?"

With that dark lord pushed Luise onto the bed and.... and what? Don't imagine much you dirty-minded people.

Six months later...

Dark lord was sitting confidently on his imposing throne.

He presided over a meeting with the high-ranking members of the palace. These individuals were handpicked by Li Wuang, Lin Badao, and other influential figures and were chosen for their exceptional competence and unwavering loyalty to aid him in managing the vast responsibilities that came with ruling the universe.

During the meeting, the Dark Lord announced his plan to recruit more members for the palace to strengthen his administration. The news spread rapidly across the cosmos, attracting high-ranking individuals from all over existence. They were eager for the chance to serve under the Dark Lord and rushed to the palace, hoping to become part of his esteemed administration.

With the invaluable assistance of the high-ranking members of the palace, numerous talented individuals were recruited, each granted the privilege to enter through the main gate of the grand palace.

The grand palace had two imposing gates.

The first gate served as the main entrance to the palace's outer area, where the lush gardens and beautiful scenery welcomed everyone. Within this garden, all the servants had the freedom to roam and carry out their tasks as they pleased. It provided a soothing and refreshing space for them to work and find solace amidst the natural beauty that surrounded them.

The second gate, known as the palace gate, was the most restricted entrance, leading directly into the heart of the main palace. Only a few select, trusted members of the high-ranking council, were granted access to this inner sanctum. This stringent security measure ensured that the palace remained a closely guarded domain, with only the most loyal and competent individuals permitted there.

The recruitment of these skilled individuals was an important step towards establishing the law and order throughout the vast expanse of the universe. Their responsibilities were not for the grand palace; instead, they were entrusted with the important task of maintaining harmony and justice in every corner of existence, extending even to the mortal world.

As the days passed, a remarkable transformation took place in the universe. The presence of the Dark Lord as its king and the establishment of law and order under the watchful eyes of his chosen guardians began to bear fruit. All the fighting and chaos that used to happen stopped, and it felt like a new era of peace had begun.

Everyone, let be it immortals, gods, or mortals, began to refrain from open conflicts and violence. Instead, the Dark Lord established death arenas in every city, providing a controlled space for disputes to be settled through combat. This arrangement ensured that peace was maintained while still allowing everyone to resolve their conflict. With these measures in place, the universe entered an era of harmony and tranquility.

Well... He could not really stop everyone from fighting at all just because of peace because, in the world of cultivation, combat, and self-improvement were essential elements on the path to greatness. He realized that completely eradicating all conflicts would hinder growth and potential.

With that in mind, the Dark Lord implemented a special task, and it was to create special arenas in each city, a place where individuals could battle and display their skills. It was a bit different from the death arena where once two people entered, only one of them could leave. In this arena, people could go to fight for fun and training. This way, cultivators could follow their ambitions and push their limits without disrupting the overall harmony of the universe. The regulated arenas became a hub for growth and competition, ensuring both peace and progress prevailed throughout the cosmos.

After a year...

In the quiet room, Dark lord and Luise sat on the bed, their heads gently leaning against each other. Luise rested her head on his shoulder. Dark Lord looked visibly tired as if he had personally shouldered the burden of the entire universe. However, in truth, he had cleverly organized the whole process, giving orders and delegating tasks to the new recruits who had diligently carried out the work.

"At last, everything related to the universe is completed," he said wearily, with a hint of satisfaction in his voice. Well, despite his apparent laziness, he had successfully overseen the grand transformation of the universe under his rule.

Luise smiled and gently replied, "You have worked hard."

The Dark Lord chuckled lightly and accepted the truth, "Not so, I merely commanded to those billions of soldiers and families, it was them who did all the hard work."

"Hehe, I know you are lazy, it's your innate ability that you can't change," Luise teased playfully.

The Dark Lord raised an eyebrow, pretending to be offended, "You..."

Luise looked at him playfully and smiled"Hehe"

Looking at her, the Dark Lord grinned mischievously, "Wanna see how hard of a worker I am? Kekeke."

Luise knew this smile was a sign of danger, so she decided to surprise him. "You have worked hard, and the fruit of your hard work is growing inside me now."

Dark lord suddenly stopped his mischievous smile and looked at her with a mix of confusion, shock, and happiness.

"Y-You mean...." he stammered.

Luise smiled and replied, "Yes, my king."

Dark lord couldn't contain his excitement as his hands trembled with emotion. He hugged Luise tightly and affectionately, expressing his joy. "Why didn't you say it before?"

"Even I came to know about it yesterday, and when you entered the room, did you even hear anything when I was talking?" Luise spoke, sounding as if she had been wronged.

Dark Lord suddenly became shy, his normally imposing demeanor replaced with a childlike grin. He scratched his head, unsure of how to respond to Luise's playful accusation.

"Did I?" he mumbled, avoiding eye contact.

Luise couldn't help but let out a soft giggle as she witnessed the Dark Lord's sudden display of shyness. His demeanor which was usually commanding and imposing had now transformed into something endearing and boyish. It was a side of him that she treasured dearly, a reminder that even the most powerful ruler in the universe could have moments of vulnerability and innocence.

"Haii haii," Luise smiled, finding the Dark Lord's behavior incredibly cute and endearing.

She affectionately touched the Dark Lord's head and hugged him, gently placing his head on her stomach.

"Look, he wants to talk to you," Luise said with a warm smile.

With that, the Dark Lord gently placed his hand on Luise's stomach, feeling the faint movements of their unborn child, and smiled warmly "This is a boy, I can feel it."

"Yes," Luise said softly, her smile radiating warmth. "I can feel it too. Our little prince."

The Dark Lord's eyes sparkled with delight as he looked at Luise. "Our son," he whispered, his voice tinged with awe and wonder. "I can't wait to meet him."

They both shared a moment of quiet and joy, their hands intertwined over their unborn child.

While they were at it, with the thought of nourishment of his son, the Dark Lord started to channel his energy into their unborn child.

However, what he experienced next left him astonished. No matter how much energy he poured into their son, the child absorbed it all with ease, as if he possessed an insatiable hunger for power.

Dark Lord chuckled softly, his eyes sparkling with pride as he looked at Luise. "Indeed, it seems our love has created something truly remarkable. Our son's potential surpasses even my own.

Luise smiled warmly, gently caressing her stomach where their son rested. "He is a testament to the strength of our bond. I can't wait to see what he will become."

They spent some quiet and precious moments together, basking in the love and anticipation of their unborn son for a time being.

The room was filled with the air of love, the Dark Lord kept talking with his unborn son the whole time, leaving Luise alone with just an adorable smile, "Look like when our son will be born, you will not even speak with me." Luise said and curled up her lips.

Looking at her remark, the Dark Lord couldn't help but laugh "Are you jealous of our unborn baby already?"

"No."

"You are hahaha, you are so adorable."

"No, Why will I be jealous?"

"That's fine Luise, you are my adorable baby too."

Their laughter filled the room as they playfully fought and teased each other, dwelling in their own world.
