Dreamqueen knew very well that no matter what Lucas's conditions were, if she didn't agree, other demons certainly would.
Since that was the case, why not agree?
She could also gain an additional Dimensional Lord position.
"I support Lord God's decision, and I support Dreamqueen becoming the new Lord of the Dream Dimension."
"I agree."
"I also agree."
Before Lucas could announce Dreamqueen as the new Lord of the Dream Dimension, the other demons voiced their agreement.
The demons who survived under the rule of the two Lords, Nightmare and Strange, all had excellent foresight.
When the demons' affirmations ceased, Lucas slowly spoke, "No rush, Dreamqueen, listen to my conditions first, then it won't be too late to make a decision."
"Please speak, Lord God." Dreamqueen said calmly.
She had already decided that no matter what Lucas said, she would agree immediately.
Lucas took out a cluster of one thousand points worth of glowing white energy, controlling it to slowly float towards Dreamqueen.
"Dreamqueen, do not resist. Absorb and feel the characteristics of this energy."
Dreamqueen's lips parted slightly. Like a whale sucking water, she slowly inhaled the white energy into her belly. She let out a captivating hum and looked at Lucas with seductive eyes.
Lucas's face darkened.
Dreamqueen's expression would make those unaware think he had tampered with the energy.
"Dreamqueen, be serious. Tell me your feelings."
Dreamqueen frowned in thought for a moment, then hesitated. "It feels like my body and spirit, which had originally reached their limits, are gradually being strengthened. And there are no side effects."
Lucas nodded. "That's right, this energy can strengthen a creature's body and soul."
"No limits and no side effects."
"The first condition is that I hope to establish a long-term, stable trade relationship with the Dream Dimension."
"Using this white energy to trade for the Dream Dimension's energy. The trade ratio is 1:10, with no less than thirty million units of energy per year."
The other demons' expressions changed.
Could it be that he intended to control them using this method?
Although Lucas's words sounded good, these demons were not fools and understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
While this white energy strengthened their bodies and souls, it might leave a backdoor.
"Alright. Are there any other conditions, Lord God?" Dreamqueen agreed immediately.
She knew in her heart that the position of Dimensional Lord was not free. Compared to other control methods, this approach was already very gentle.
"The second condition is that the Dream Dimension must not actively invade or devour the real world. Otherwise, as the Sorcerer Supreme who guards the real world, it would be very difficult for me."
Lucas's tone was cold, carrying a hint of threat.
He was openly threatening Dreamqueen. As long as the demons of the Dream Dimension did not harbor thoughts of opposing Lucas, this transaction would be a win-win.
Under the continuous strengthening of the white energy over the years, the Dream Dimension would eventually recover from its current decline and become powerful. And after becoming powerful, to expand its resources, it was hard to guarantee that Dreamqueen wouldn't develop other ulterior motives.
"Alright."
Dreamqueen agreed immediately again.
The other demons also had no dissatisfaction with this condition. Their level prevented them from devouring the real world. Under the tyrannical rule of the previous two Dream Dimension Lords, powerful demons were either expelled or slaughtered.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Lucas nodded with satisfaction.
He formed hand seals and took out a green orb from the Mirror Dimension.
The moment the green orb appeared, it attracted the attention of the demons in the room.
As demons born in the Dream Dimension, their intuition told them that it was the core of the Dream Dimension. As long as they gained its recognition, they could become the Lord of the Dream Dimension.
"I entrust the Dream Dimension to you, Dreamqueen." Lucas handed the green orb to Dreamqueen.
Dreamqueen extended her hands, solemnly received it, and then absorbed it into her body.
Without the Dream Dimension's control core, the so-called Dimensional Lord was merely a title. Only by truly possessing control over the Dream Dimension could the title of Dimensional Lord be worthy of its name. Only then could she call upon the energy and laws within the Dimension for battle.
"Lord God, I wonder if we can proceed with the transaction now. I would like to trade for twenty million units of white energy."
Immediately after receiving the Dream Dimension's control core, Dreamqueen proactively proposed a transaction.
She was all too aware of the importance of power. In just over a decade, the Dream Dimension had changed hands twice. She did not want to be the third.
Moreover, as a Dimensional Lord, she also needed to set an example for the other demons. This was also a gesture of goodwill to Lucas.
Lucas looked at Dreamqueen with surprise.
Twenty million units of white energy meant two hundred million units of ordinary energy. He hadn't expected this Dreamqueen to be a hidden magnate.
However, as the daughter of Nightmare, it was normal for her to be somewhat different from other demons.
"Yes. But it's cash first, then goods."
Lucas couldn't deliver goods first and then receive payment at the moment.
"Lord God, I also want to make a transaction, one million units."
"Lord God, I also want to make a transaction, three million units."
A few demons reacted instantly.
Their original strength was clearly defined, almost all reaching their limits, so their demand for energy decreased.
Coupled with the difficult lives under the previous two Lords, there were few conflicts between them.
But what about under the new order?
With the change of rulers, the redistribution of the pie would intensify conflicts.
If the white energy could truly help them break through limits and get stronger, the relationship of strength would also be rewritten.
My neighbor hoards grain, I hoard guns. My neighbor is my granary.
Demons had no moral qualms.
Soon, the transaction amount exceeded thirty million.
As for the demons who proposed transactions, after Lucas clarified the coordinates of their energy storage, he directly opened a channel to extract it and settled the payment on the spot.
A moment later, among the seventeen demons present, eight had traded for white energy and began to absorb it.
They discovered a blind spot.
The speed of absorbing white energy was slower than their normal speed of absorbing Dream Dimension energy. They didn't need to trade for so much at once.
Especially one or two demons who had traded almost all their energy, they were subtly regretting it. The scarcity of energy had already affected their combat power.
Suddenly, the aura of one demon increased at an almost visible speed.
At this point, the nine demons who were worried about problems with the white energy and had not yet traded also couldn't sit still.
"Lord God, I also want to make a transaction, one million units."
"Lord God, I also want to make a transaction, three million units."
Before long, Lucas traded out another ten million-plus points of energy. The net profit totaled approximately four hundred million points.
For a time, Lucas's gaze towards Dreamqueen became even more satisfied.
But this was not enough.
