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

Chapter 466 A World Where Catgirls Abound! (3.2K)

"You... Senior Dragon Lord? You are now the true Purple-Gold Dragon Lord?"

Upon hearing the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord's affectionate address and tone, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi both showed surprise.

The Dragon Lord before me is clearly an illusion created by the fake Chu Jiang, so why is he connected to the real one in the real world?

How can this be?

Seeing the two looking shocked, the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord let out a loud laugh, like an old child.

"Haha, you two little guys shouldn't underestimate the abilities of a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"Although we Nascent Soul cultivators have not reached the level where we feel something when our names are praised, we can still sense something when an illusion that is almost equal to our original self appears in the world."

"In order to find out the origin of this illusion, I spent a whole month invading and taking over the consciousness of this illusion."

"I never expected that the cause of this illusion would be related to you, Su Yuan."

After hearing the explanation from the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi were still in shock.

It was more of a shock than a shock.

The mere illusion created by an outsider can summon the direct descent of the true self. Nascent Soul cultivators are practically like the gods who are worshipped, capable of manifesting themselves from their statues at any moment.

This is clearly closer to the abilities of immortals and gods than those of ordinary humans.

However, what followed this shock was a strong sense of security.

On one hand, the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord has officially become an ally of their side; on the other hand, the Star River Heavenly Lord, who has descended in his true form, must have also regained his true self.

Two of the three Nascent Soul cultivators are already on his side; he simply doesn't know how he can lose this round.

But then, Su Yuan realized something and quickly asked:
"Senior Dragon Lord, since you can project your own consciousness into the illusion, can the Reincarnation Heavenly Lord do the same?"

“His true form has been devoured by the Shadow of the Abyss. Once he projects his consciousness over here, he will definitely turn against us.”

Faced with this question, the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord calmly replied:

"Oh? That kid Samsara? I killed his shadow not long ago, so he had no chance to interfere with this illusionary world."

"killed?"

Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat again.

Purple-Gold Dragon Lord: "That's right. I was investigating something in a main world when a group of Nascent Soul cultivators, supposedly from the Heavenly Law World, descended and tried to conquer the main world I was in."

"In order to protect this world, I stepped in to help, and I happened to run into the shadow of reincarnation, so I killed him."

Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi's lips twitched simultaneously.

I have a feeling that this Purple-Gold Dragon Lord in front of me is much fiercer than the Dragon Lord they encountered in the Dragon King's Secret Realm.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. The remaining will within the secret realm comes from 100,000 years ago, while the true form of the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord has indeed experienced an entire Dharma-ending Age.

During this period, he also openly and secretly fought against the forces of the Immeasurable Calamity Venerable countless times, so it is reasonable that his temperament underwent some changes.

However, the fact that Zijin Laodeng was able to beat the Reincarnation Heavenly Lord, who was best at surviving, to death right under the noses of the entire Holy Law Council shows that his fighting power was a bit too ferocious.

"So, by that logic, the Reincarnation Heavenly Lords within the Great Void World are also potential candidates for us to win over?"

Su Yuan asked with some anticipation.

Purple-Gold Dragon Lord: "That's natural. Although that kid Samsara isn't very obedient to my discipline, he can still distinguish right from wrong when it comes to these important matters."

"Uh, that tone... it sounds like a father's voice. No wonder the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation doesn't get along with you."

Su Yuan secretly muttered a complaint to himself.

But no matter what, the three Nascent Soul cultivators will be on our side, and the situation is very favorable!

Hehe, that fake Chu Jiang has shot himself in the foot. The illusionary world he created is too easy to clear... Of course, Chu Lanxi's efforts definitely played a part in it.

Otherwise, the illusionary world would be formatted the moment it is generated.

However, just as Su Yuan felt he was ready to start speedrunning, the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord spoke again.

"However, the battle on my main body is too intense. I can only manage to project my consciousness over to talk to you when I have a spare moment. I can't maintain this indefinitely."

"In about fifteen minutes, the consciousness of the main body will leave, but don't worry, I will leave all the information I need to leave behind in the illusionary world. He will still be your strongest support."

“Before that, let’s exchange some information as much as possible. You seem to know a lot about the Boundless Calamity Venerable.”

Knowing that the consciousness of the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord was about to leave, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi were both reluctant to part with him.

But then I thought, since they've already clashed with the Holy Law Council, they might come to the Blue Star Federation in the future.

Especially after exchanging intelligence with each other.

Chen Nuoyi opened her mouth, preparing to reveal some of the information she knew.

For example, Gui Yuan, who guards the Heavenly Law World, and An Xingran are trustworthy; Su Yuan has mastered the Primordial Dao, and so on.

But before the girl could speak, Su Yuan suddenly reached out and covered her mouth with his hand.

"I'm sorry, Senior Dragon Lord, we can't tell you anything."

Su Yuan's gaze was intense, his tone firm yet wary:
"After all, we cannot be sure whether you are still the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord we once knew."

"As far as I know, there is an avatar of the Immeasurable Calamity Venerable in the Holy Law Council. You may have already been defeated and turned into the Shadow of the Abyss without your knowledge."

“If you really have a problem, telling you the information without reservation would undoubtedly hand over our excellent situation to others.” Chen Nuoyi suddenly turned to look at Su Yuan, her pale golden eyes trembling slightly.

She gently pushed away the hand that was covering her mouth, wanting to say something, but it was as if something was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word.

A hint of sadness gradually crept into those beautiful eyes.

Faced with Su Yuan's questioning, the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord was not angry; instead, he laughed heartily.
"Su Yuan, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You have the talent to end the next immortal tribulation. Please remain cautious and remember not to trust anyone."

Su Yuan nodded, but a layer of sadness inevitably settled over his eyes.

Although the possibility of the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord being devoured by the Shadow of the Abyss is extremely small, he still has to prepare for such a possibility.

Even if the other person is fine now, what about the future?

Being at the center of the storm, he may not be able to remain unscathed.

After a long silence, Su Yuan finally spoke again:
"However, we can share some information that the Boundless Calamity Venerable already knew, such as the coordinates of Blue Star, and the coordinates of the world you, Senior Dragon Venerable, are in."

"...Especially the latter. If I can escape from this illusionary world, I will definitely try my best to mobilize the strong people of Blue Star and ask them to help you to wipe out the Holy Law Governing Council."

"If you are not yet the Shadow of the Abyss, please hold on a little longer. I... I want to save you."

After listening attentively to Su Yuan's words, the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord solemnly said:

"Okay, I look forward to your rescue."

Over the next fifteen minutes, the two sides exchanged limited intelligence.

From the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord, Su Yuan learned a great deal of important information about the world the other party was in.

The specific location, name, composition of high-end combat forces, level of civilization, and so on of that world.

Su Yuan organized the intelligence he had obtained, which can be summarized as follows.

This world is called the Yuxuan World, and its straight-line distance from the Blue Star Federation is about two-thirds of the distance from the Blue Star Federation to the Tianlu World.

The high-end combat power of this main world can no longer be described as merely strong; it is extremely strong, boasting a total of seven native Gods.

There is one small problem... These seven native gods are not human, but demons.

Indeed, the Yu Xuan World is a world entirely dominated by the demon race, which is why the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord was able to thrive in that main world.

Although the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord is an extremely benevolent demon lord towards humans, he is still somewhat demon-like in a world where everyone is a demon.

Because the Yuxuan World is a world of pure demons, their civilization development relies mainly on archaeology. The developed areas are very developed, and the backward areas are truly backward.

"However, if the Yu Xuan World is dominated by the demon race, wouldn't sending reinforcements from the human race have the opposite effect?"

Su Yuan asked with some concern.

It's already exhausting to fight against the Boundless Tribulation Venerable. If they were to clash with a powerful demon race's main world on top of that, the Blue Star Federation wouldn't be able to handle it.

Faced with Su Yuan's concerns, the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord simply waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Su Yuan, you're overthinking it. I've been in the Yu Xuan World for quite some time now, and I'm very familiar with its mainstream values."

"The Yu Xuan demon race, from top to bottom, holds a very friendly attitude towards the human race."

"They learned human knowledge, imitated human appearance, and followed human etiquette, and held the human civilization that had led them away from barbarism in the highest esteem."

"That is why, when the Holy Law Reign was first established, the Yu Xuan Demon Clan was unwilling to go to war with it."

"Fortunately, I persuaded them from the side, telling them that the Holy Law Council was no longer human, and only then did they choose to resist these invaders."

Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi both looked surprised after hearing this.

Despite some stereotypes, in their past understanding, the demon race has always been barbaric and arrogant, with some ferocious demons even taking pleasure in eating people.

As a result, a civilized demon race actually developed in some corner of the starry sky?

Furthermore, learning human etiquette and culture—doesn't that mean there are a bunch of catgirls in the Yuxuan world?!

Cat girl!

Su Yuan instantly switched to a serious expression and lowered his voice to say:

"It seems we must extend a helping hand to the Yu Xuan World!"

Chen Nuoyi: "..."

I have a feeling that your sudden seriousness isn't just about saving people.

"The time is almost up, Su Yuan. You must break free from this illusionary world as soon as possible. I look forward to the day we meet again."

The Purple-Gold Dragon Lord smiled gently, waved to the two people in front of him, and the light in his dragon eyes gradually dimmed.

However, those eyes soon regained their light; they were the eyes of the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord from the illusory world.

He closed his eyes and silently processed the information left in his memory by his original self. After a while, he opened his eyes again, his gaze filled with a sense of melancholy.

"So that's how it is. So this place is just an illusion, and I am just an illusion."

He turned his gaze to Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi, who looked somewhat nervous, and solemnly said:

"I've told you everything I need to say about the main body. Now it's time to execute."

"That brat, the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation, dares to defy me! I'll go and teach him a lesson he won't forget!"
