My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 371 Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?
The heavenly soldiers experienced both pain and pleasure.

The pain stemmed from the fact that Li Ye's skills were so torturous, causing extreme physical and mental anguish.

To be more precise, Li Ye probably didn't even consider them human beings;
Happiness, that was true happiness.

Their cultivation level improved at a rocket-like speed, eliminating the need for further cultivation.

……

Initially, the heavenly soldiers loathed and hated Li Ye.

Everyone who suffered torment wanted to die with him, wishing they could eat his skin, gnaw on his bones, and grind his bones to dust.

Later, Li Ye convinced them with just a few words:
"What are you afraid of losing face for? Before your ascension, you might have been the pride of your respective sects, but now, in the eyes of the world, you are nothing more than Heavenly Soldier A, Heavenly Soldier B..."

They don't even have names of their own, so who would care if Soldier A and Soldier B got married and had children?

You must remember that only strength truly belongs to you.

Strength can guarantee your survival in chaotic times, and give you the opportunity to become celestial generals, the Nine Luminaries, the Four Heavenly Kings, or the Twenty-Eight Mansions. Only then will you have the right to face the world.

What use is face to someone who is weak and of low status?

When you reach a high position of power in the future, you will find that those who once mocked you were nothing but a fart, and you can completely control their life and death with a single word.

The Heavenly Court is strictly hierarchical. All important positions are occupied by veteran deities and their disciples and grand-disciples. Your chances of advancement are virtually nonexistent.

But there is no such restriction for me.

The demonic energy is vast, and the number of demons will only increase. As long as this group doesn't help me unlock the derivative skills, I will eliminate them and send the demons to more suitable people.

All of you are candidates to become demon lords, and everyone has an equal chance, unlike the rigidly hierarchical Heavenly Court. Here, everyone has a chance to soar to great heights.

Turbulent times produce heroes, and these are the times we live in—your best chance to rise to prominence. Remember this: "Are kings and generals born with a special destiny?"

……

Highly inflammatory language, temptations rooted in self-interest, rapidly increasing power like a demonic path, and a hope of soaring to the heavens...

He quickly changed the stance of all the heavenly soldiers and put them into their new roles.

So much so that when Han Peng embarrassed himself, they weren't even surprised...

……

Li Ye's speech targeting the Heavenly Soldiers also provoked Du Yu and others.

Make them realize that the crisis really exists.

A group of people behind them were constantly watching their position, so in addition to Li Ye's help, they had to rack their brains to study derivative techniques.

They were afraid of falling behind others and becoming the one who would be eliminated.

Once eliminated and drawn into the tens of millions of reserve forces, there will be no chance of ever getting ahead again.

With everyone vying for power, it's virtually impossible for the monster owners to unite and fight against Li Ye.

Li Ye stayed on this planet for nine months.

Over the course of nine months, Du Yu and the others acquired two to three derivative skills.

Even after Han Peng changed his approach, he managed to unlock three derivative skills, which was an unprecedented windfall for them.

Although they felt a little heartache when they traded the derivative skills to Li Ye, they were already quite satisfied to be able to keep the monster in their hands and have one or two derivative skills left.

……

When Li Ye traded their derivative techniques, the performance targets he set filled Du Yu and the others with hope for the future.

As long as the minimum task set by Li Ye is completed, even if you are at the bottom, your demon will not be taken back.

If you exceed the mission requirements, you can keep one more derivative skill when trading with Li Ye;

The new plan delighted everyone;

At the end of the year, the champion who generates the most derivative skills has the right to choose any person in the team to exchange for a monster, or to hold an extra monster, which gives everyone great expectations...

……

With the rules set in place, Du Yu and the others had long forgotten that they had once led a civilization, happily joining the ranks of the working class and striving to become top salespeople. Song Jing, the former deputy general of the Heavenly Court army, also forgot his identity with the Heavenly Court and became a loyal follower of Li Ye.
Of all the people, Liao Zhong understands this set of corporate management principles best.

But what good does knowing do? Everyone on Earth knows these things, but who can escape them?
Even though everyone knows that Li Ye is the biggest beneficiary, they still have to act according to the rules he sets, because only by following the rules can they maximize their interests and maintain their positions.

Without the rules, you have nothing.

Why didn't he think of using this method to farm derivative skills back then...?

Liao Zhong felt a pang of bitterness at going from a time traveler to a wage earner, but after thinking about it carefully, he accepted his fate.

He doesn't have Li Ye's ability to steal other people's derivative skills. As for the current set of rules, only Li Ye can master them, and there's no way to copy them.

Speaking of which, Liao Zhong was somewhat grateful to Li Ye. His strength was not outstanding among the group, and his previous derivative skills had been taken away by Li Ye. He was also equipped with a mechanical body.

Even so, Li Ye still gave him the opportunity to choose a monster, most likely because he was taking care of him as a fellow Earthling!

He cannot be ungrateful and lose this opportunity again.

……

The heavenly soldiers gained strength, and Du Yu and others acquired derivative skills. If one had to find the most unlucky person, it would undoubtedly be Luo Feng.

During the few months he spent in this world, Luo Feng never stopped gestating. The magical treasures he produced were almost enough for each soldier in the Heavenly Court to have one. Although some of these treasures were rather useless, they were better than nothing!

Luo Fengming hung there conspicuously, suffering punishment, constantly gestating, serving as a warning to the heavenly soldiers.

They were warned not to offend Li Ye.

When Li Ye is gentle, he is genuinely gentle; but if you offend him, the retribution is real, and even death is a luxury...

If you really offend Li Ye, it's best to self-destruct immediately, so that your soul is completely scattered, leaving Li Ye no time to grab your soul back into your body.

……

Nine months later, the Heavenly Court was completed.

Under Li Ye's guidance, Du Yu and others successively underwent tribulations and truly became immortals. The strength of Li Ye's followers soared once again, and they were no longer restrained when acting.

After more than four years of surviving the tribulation of ascension, Li Ye finally entered the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court felt like another space, with spiritual energy at least tens of thousands of times richer than that of the mortal realm. Palaces stood in rows, seemingly built among the clouds.

Li Ye used his Eye of Truth to see that the various palaces were intertwined with arrays, combining offense and defense, and possessing various divine effects such as gathering spirits, concentrating the mind, and nourishing the heart. The arrays were intricate and encompassed all aspects.

All the formations were now subtly connected to form a grand array, linking the heavens and earth below and providing a passage for ascension between the two worlds. The Ministry of Works members who had not yet evacuated were still referring to the blueprints, making final improvements to the Heavenly Court...

"Fellow Daoist Mu, now that the Heavenly Court is complete, we need to send someone to inform the Longevity Emperor so that officials from various departments can take over and move in." Han Peng stood side by side with Li Ye and said, "Given our current situation, should we send someone to reply, or should we have our own people take over the Heavenly Court?"

"Of course we should reply. Who among us would take over the Heavenly Court?" Li Ye turned to look at Han Peng and said.

“But if the Heavenly Court sends someone and learns of what we’ve been doing here, the Eternal Emperor will probably…” Han Peng hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Afraid of what?" Li Ye laughed. "Are you afraid that the Eternal Emperor will send troops to attack us?"

"Okay." Han Peng nodded.

"As long as the Longevity Emperor doesn't personally intervene, and as long as those who come to attack us aren't Grand Luo Golden Immortals, there's nothing to worry about," Li Ye said. "Anyone stronger or weaker than you, we'll devour as many as they come..."

Li Ye's eyes gleamed. He had already tasted the benefits of being a capitalist, and naturally wanted as many employees as possible under his command.

The more effort the employee puts in, the closer they get to achieving Ronaldo's level of success...

Why did he help Du Yu and others improve their skills? Wasn't it to enrich his vocal music skills?

The more he participated, the closer the skills that Du Yu and others developed became to his Dao.

As for whether it will incur the wrath of the Longevity Emperor, the Heavenly Court is short of manpower. At worst, if we encounter the Longevity Emperor, he can simply surrender on his own initiative.

Sun Wukong has been granted amnesty, so surely the Longevity Emperor's vision is not inferior to that of the Jade Emperor?

Han Peng's eyes were filled with worry; clearly, he was not yet ready to make an enemy of a Celestial Venerable.

"Han Xingjun, don't be afraid, we have the Great Celestial Venerable behind us." Li Ye looked at Han Peng and said with a smile, "Besides, it will take at least several years for you to send people back, several more years for the Heavenly Court to come over, and several more years for the Heavenly Court to make a decision to conquer us."

Over the years, who knows where we've ended up? Besides, with my path to growth, by then, Star Lord might already have attained the Great Luo realm.”
