In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 318 The Purple-Gold Dragon Sovereign! Do you really love humans that much? (4K, please subscribe!)

As his spiritual energy was drained at an alarming speed, Su Yuan was not surprised but rather delighted.

The Demonic Art: Beast Claw has been successfully activated!
However, it is clear that even though the Demonic Art of Beast Finger has reached level 3, Long Bai's level has almost reached the upper limit of this demonic art.

It is impossible to forcibly activate enslavement or any other ability on Long Bai.

However, simply connecting with each other through mind and spirit is enough!
The fact that the Ice-Haired Loli could successfully activate the Demonic Art: Beast Finger shows that although she looks aloof, she is actually less intelligent than him.

Add to that eavesdropping on thoughts, and the calculated maneuvering against the unsuspecting…

Hehehe, what can a mere ice-haired little loli do to me, Old Demon Su? Before long, she'll be completely at my mercy!

With this in mind, Su Yuan used the Great Desire Immortal Puppet to quickly restore his spiritual power while trying to eavesdrop on Long Bai's inner thoughts.

Soon, a flood of information poured into him through the mental bridge between Su Yuan and Long Bai.

'Hahaha, it's so funny to see humans get their comeuppance! Especially that pure-blooded male!'

Hmm? This girl seems aloof on the surface, but is she actually a little devil behind the scenes?
And what exactly does "pure-blooded male" mean? Is the demon race's term for the human race so abstract?
'But if they get eliminated on the very first question of the first level, then no one will play with me anymore. Should I give them a hint?'

'This woman named Chen Nuoyi is quite cute; I don't want her to be eliminated like this.'

Alright, alright, stop rambling. If you don't want us to be eliminated, hurry up and say something useful!
'But my biology dad won't let me leak the exam questions! I hope they'll choose to save the demon race soon!'

Biological father, right? The pain brought by the family of origin, right? ...That's actually not wrong.

So the answer is actually to save the demon race?

Su Yuan's spirits lifted, and he immediately wanted Chen Nuoyi to go and save the demon race.

But before Su Yuan could speak, another thought from Long Bai reached Su Yuan's ears, almost causing him to strain his back.

'Sigh, but if they choose the demon race, they won't pass the test... But these brainless guys who choose the human race are really annoying!'

Su Yuan: "..."

He finally understood. So, the spirit of the inheritance, Long Bai, wasn't on the same page as the designer of the inheritance assessment, Zi Jin Long Zun!

Choosing the correct route will allow you to pass the level, but it will cause Long Bai's favorability to plummet.

Choosing the demon race route will result in being kicked out of the game while gaining a certain amount of favor from Long Bai.

Ordinary test subjects might not need to care about Long Bai's thoughts, but Su Yuan can't.

So, is there a way to have the best of both worlds?
Su Yuan looked intently at the two exam illusions.

Once he understood what the correct answer was, he was no longer conflicted and only wanted to do his best within the scope of the correct answer.

After a breath, Su Yuan had made up his mind.

He struck with lightning speed, cleaving open the snake demon's belly with a single sword stroke and extracting a crystal-clear, emerald-green snake gall.

"The chances of human cultivators being rescued are only 10%, because they are poisoned."

Su Yuan handed the snake gall to Chen Nuoyi, who was still in a daze, and quickly explained:

"Snake gallbladders can detoxify, and killing snakes with your own hands to save people can achieve a 90% success rate in rescue."

Chen Nuoyi suddenly realized.

This question not only tests who to save first, but also your determination when saving someone.

Even if saving someone comes at the cost of killing another life.

The girl quickly took the snake gall and went to treat the human cultivator.

At the same time, Long Bai's favorability towards Su Yuan has plummeted to -50!

'Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! I've disliked this pureblood male for a long time, and he really is a villain! Just like my biological father!'

'To think we have to watch him continue through the trials; misfortune truly seems to befall the unfortunate dragon.'

Long Bai angrily shouted in his heart, then prepared to remove the illusion of the first question and start the second question with a displeased look.

But at that moment, Su Yuan made another move.

He approached the dying snake demon, extracted its soul and essence, and swiftly fused the two together to reshape a blood snake.

Looking at the blood snake, which, despite its altered life form, was still healthy and intelligent, Long Bai blinked his large, dark eyes.

Both of them... are alive?

Although the snake demon's way of surviving is somewhat abstract, it's still better than being dead.

'Why would this guy go to all that trouble? Perhaps he doesn't actually dislike the demon race?'

[Long Bai's Favorability (-5/200)]

Seeing the slight improvement in his favorability rating, Su Yuan's lips curled into a slight smile.

She's just a naive little girl, how could she not handle you?

"Miss Long Bai, is this question correct?"

Su Yuan held the illusory blood snake in his hands and asked earnestly.

Long Bai hesitated for a moment, then asked in a cool tone:

"Guardian of the Way, you are using evil magic to save both sides. Which side do you want to save more?"

Faced with this question, Su Yuan spoke eloquently:
"If we're talking about the questioner's intention, then naturally saving humanity is the priority, and the test subject does indeed want to save humanity even more."

Long Bai's bright eyes, which had just begun to gleam, quickly dimmed.

But the next second, Su Yuan changed the subject:
"But the test subject is the test subject, and I am me!"

"My sect and I have always upheld the ideal of equality between humans and demons. On matters of principle, I will stand with the human race, but if the demon race is also innocent, I will also lend a helping hand to the demon race."

As he spoke, Su Yuan became righteous and awe-inspiring!
It's as if he has a great love in his heart and regards saving all living beings as his own responsibility!
[Long Bai's Favorability (20/200)]

"Equality between humans and transvestites... How is that possible!"

Long Bai's tone was full of disbelief.

"Ten thousand years ago, the human race and the demon race were irreconcilable enemies. Apart from giving my biological father... cough, giving the Dragon Palace some face, the human race always exterminated the rest of the demon race..."

"You're talking to me about equality between humans and transgender people now? Do you think I'd believe you?"

"Or do you think that as long as you give the demon pets that have been subdued by humans some good treatment, that's what you call equality?"

Su Yuan shook his head and said:
"Too narrow-minded! Miss Long Bai, your vision is too limited! What I want is true harmony between humans and demons!"

"Did you know? I have a Dharma protector under my command who has been working hard for the ideal of equality between humans and demons."

"Under her rule, the status of humans and demons is rapidly changing."

"There, demons can freely do human jobs and enjoy the same working hours and benefits as humans."

"There, many humans rebelled, believing that the demons should not be made to do their work or work for the same amount of time, but they were all suppressed one by one by that Dharma King who protected the faith!"

"I believe that before long, this kind of equal relationship between humans and demons will spread throughout the entire modern cultivation world."

After hearing these words, the ice-haired girl lost control of her expression, her mouth agape.

Her inner voice, too, was repeatedly filled with shock as Su Yuan spoke.

'What! Demons can experience the same life as humans?' 'What! Demons have the same working hours as humans?'

'What! Humans are being suppressed if they don't want the demons to challenge their position?'

'Has the outside world changed that much?'

However, Long Bai is, after all, a legally aged loli with the mind of a ten-year-old, so she won't believe everything Su Yuan says.

She turned to look at Chen Nuoyi:

Is what the protector said true?

Chen Nuoyi: "..."

Just thinking about the hellish drawings she saw in the Beast Taming Department of the University of Ten Thousand Beasts makes Chen Nuoyi want to laugh.

The ice-haired loli thought that it was a blessing for spirit pets to do human work and have human working hours.

"Yes, that's right!"

Despite her thoughts, Chen Nuoyi quickly gave a very affirmative answer.

Besides, she wasn't exactly lying, because everything Su Yuan said was true, without a single flaw.

If Long Bai misunderstood, then that's her own problem.

[Long Bai's Favorability (60/200)]

Watching the ice-haired loli's favorability rating rise rapidly, Su Yuan's lips curled into a sinister (and genuine) smile.

The naive dragon princess is unknowingly sliding into the abyss.

Of course, even though she already regarded Su Yuan as a special pure-blooded male in her heart, Long Bai's little face did not show it at all, and she started the second question in a businesslike manner.

A new line of text appeared on the stone tablet.

Q: A human Nascent Soul cultivator's son has a ruptured heart and urgently needs a heart transplant. Therefore, he travels to the ancestral land of the Qingqiu Fox Clan to seek the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart of the Fox Clan Demon Emperor's son. If you were the Fox Clan Demon Emperor, would you choose to save him?
Note: With your strength and power, you can forcibly kill a human Nascent Soul cultivator!

As soon as the question was posed, a new illusion appeared before Su Yuan.

It was a human cultivator who was holding his son and kneeling in front of him and Chen Nuoyi.

Exchanging the heart of the Demon Emperor's son for the heart of a human Nascent Soul child is yet another classic life-for-life dilemma.

Su Yuan keenly realized that although this question seemed the same as the previous one, it was different upon closer inspection.

In the previous question, the human cultivator and the snake demon were both severely injured, indicating that they fought each other. In modern criminal law, both would be equally responsible.

This case, however, is a purely medical dispute where a patient seeks out an organ donation family and attempts to morally blackmail them.

The Qingqiu Fox Clan is completely innocent. Helping human cultivators is a favor, not an obligation.

But the very next second after this question appeared, Su Yuan waved his hand dismissively!
Ancient corpse refining technique killed him instantly!

Chen Nuoyi happened to know the complete set of ancient corpse refining techniques. After Su Yuan gave her the solution, the girl started to operate and quickly refined the human Nascent Soul's son into a walking corpse.

In this way, the soul of the Nascent Soul child can be preserved for a long time, giving the human Nascent Soul child ample time to find a way to save his son!

[Long Bai's Favorability (80/100)]

'This powerful man named Su Yuan... truly does whatever he says!'

'In the previous question, he turned the demon race into blood beasts; in this question, he turned the human race into walking corpses! The two sides are indeed equal!'

'You passed! You passed!'

With a wave of his hand, Long Bai immediately moved on to the next question.

Q: The human race is plundering the transformed fox demons of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. As the patriarch of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, how would you resolve the conflict between the two sides?

Note: The Qingqiu Fox Clan is on the verge of extinction.

A new illusion appeared before Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi.

This illusion was extremely large, manifesting half of the ancestral land of the fox clan.

Here, tens of thousands of human cultivators invaded in force, forcibly abducting terrified fox-eared girls, fox-eared lolis, fox-eared boys, and fox-eared youths.

Clearly, these transformed fox demons will suffer an extremely tragic fate after being captured.

Some human cultivators even committed unspeakable atrocities against some beautiful fox demons on the spot.

As for the elderly and frail fox clan elders, they were slaughtered indiscriminately.

The whole scene resembled the evil merchants in the book who captured innocent elves and sold them as slaves for profit.

As Su Yuan had predicted, the humans went even further in this round, completely becoming the perpetrators.

So in this situation, should we continue to help the human race, or should we turn around and help the demon race instead?
Chen Nuoyi was already caught in a state of distress and contemplation.

Su Yuan, without hesitation, began eavesdropping on the inner thoughts of Long Bai, that talkative little devil.

'Damn biological father, this question is way too hard! How is a male supposed to answer it?'

Oh, so they actually hope I can pass this level? Eighty points of favorability is awesome, the dragon princess is getting closer and closer to corruption.

'Based on the logic of the first two questions, this one should be a no-brainer for the Terrans, but in reality, my biological father isn't blindly loyal either.'

"We will also punish any instances of humans oppressing demons that we cannot tolerate."

Oh? That's definitely a misleading question, so we should kill these human demons?
'But killing is a grave taboo for demons. Even if we should help the demons in this trial, we cannot harm human lives; we can only suppress them.'

"Whether it's helping people kill demons or helping demons kill people, it's all wrong."

"The only solution is to capture the humans and send them back, but both the males and females look stupid. Can they really solve the problem?"

Indeed, if you hadn't told me, I would never have imagined, even if I racked my brains, that the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord's backside was so crooked.

However, Su Yuan was, after all, of human origin, and could not criticize the dragon god who had benefited countless humans.

He didn't use any fancy tricks this time; he simply suppressed and guarded the entire human race as Long Bai had instructed.

Of course, in order to clear his mind, Su Yuan crushed all the demonic orbs of these humans.

Long Bai clapped his hands in delight at this scene, and his favorability towards Su Yuan increased by another 10 points.

"Congratulations on passing the first test of the Purple Gold Dragon Lord's inheritance."

With a wave of her hand, Long Bai's image of the Qingqiu Fox Clan vanished, and her cold, dark, almost black eyes regained a glimmer of light.

Then Long Bai said softly:

"Next, the two of you can choose the reward for passing the first level."

"There are three rewards in total, one of which is the incomplete Dragon King bloodline, which was also the reward chosen by the previous test subject."

As he spoke, three lines of spiritual script immediately appeared on the stone tablet.

[Reward 1: Incomplete Dragon King Bloodline: Can randomly awaken different dragon talents (the bloodline can be completed through subsequent level completion rewards)]

[Reward Two: Bathing in the Dragon Saliva Pool: Greatly enhances physical strength and significantly improves cultivation level.]

[Reward 3: You will receive advance information about the next level and seven days to prepare.]
