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

Chapter 489 Old Zhu, you're so uncooperative! (3K views, please subscribe!)

"My personal opinion is to cultivate the Demon Dream Grass extensively and stockpile it before the arrival of the Yu Xuan Demon Clan."

"Therefore, I am willing to mobilize all the vacant spirit fields in the University of Ten Thousand Beasts to support your cultivation of the Demon Dream Grass."

As he spoke, the Demon Refining True Lord couldn't help but ask another question.

"Speaking of which, is it really impossible to improve the efficacy of the Demon Dream Grass any further? If only we could permanently brainwash the demon race."

Chen Nuoyi: "..."

Before coming here, she was hoping that Senior Zhu could stop Su Yuandian.

But now it seems that these two are completely in cahoots and beyond saving!
In fact, even Su Yuan felt that the Demon Refining True Monarch was too extreme.

"Dad, stop talking. If I actually manufacture the mind control drugs you mentioned, I'll really be on the execution platform."

At that time, I will not only be condemned by human cultivators, but also become the greatest enemy of the demon race. Even ten lives will not be enough to survive!
After politely declining the Demon Refining True Lord's suggestion, the latter began to ponder a new problem.

"The medicinal effects of the Demon Dream Grass are barely enough, but how exactly to administer it in combat to maximize its damage against the Yu Xuan Demon Clan is a problem."

"Su Yuan, what are your thoughts on this?"

Su Yuan had naturally already considered the issue of distributing the Demon Dream Grass.

He said without hesitation:
"I hope to use a special alchemy technique to refine the Dreamweed into a spiritual pill, fill it into a specially made cannonball, and drop the cannonball when the enemy army is pressing in."

"Once the shells reach the right spot, they will explode immediately, creating a mist of demonic grass that can reach several miles in circumference, benefiting all demons."

Demon Refining True Lord: "Not bad, not bad. Remember to call me when you make your move. I want to watch it myself."

"By the way, are you having any difficulties developing special shells? Is there anything I can do to help? I'll try my best."

Su Yuan: "We can just produce them directly in the Divine Craftsman Palace. The production lines are all ready-made, and even if there are any changes needed, the Divine Craftsman Palace can make adjustments immediately."

The Demon Refining True Monarch nodded and said no more.

Afterwards, with the help of the Demon Refining True Monarch, the production of the spirit-grade Demon Dream Grass, centered on the seeds of the Demon Dream Grass from Hu Hai Manor, rapidly expanded. The Withering and Flourishing Shuttle shuttled back and forth between various spirit fields, almost flying out of the air.

Immediately afterwards, batch after batch of Dreamweed was harvested and refined into pills by Su Yuan using his demonic technique, Spirit Finger, and sent to the Divine Craftsman Palace.

One by one, specially made shells containing the mist of the Demon Dream Pill rolled off the production line of the Divine Craftsman Palace and were taken over by various artillery units of the Federation.

The Demon Dream Cannon will become the Blue Alliance's biggest trump card in its fight against the Yu Xuan Demon Clan.

Another week has passed amidst this intense preparation.

The Yu Xuan Demon Clan army did not break its promise; their vanguard appeared in the Federation Star Fleet's detection artifacts.

On this day, evacuation announcements were broadcast to every corner of the planet Earth.

Whether they were residents of the Blue Star Federation or residents of the Celestial Law World, they were all relocated to air-raid shelters and other defensive fortifications to avoid the war that might affect their homeland.

At this moment, Su Yuan, Qi Hanyue, and Chen Nuoyi had already arrived inside the flagship of the Star Fleet.

They were in a conference room filled with metallic elements, where Wuluo Zhenjun, the captain of the Starry Sky Fleet, and a group of high-ranking Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Ten Great Immortal Sects were also present.

Su Yuan was also a member of the high-level team, and Chen Nuoyi and Qi Hanyue, as his followers, stood behind his seat to listen in.

The Nascent Soul cultivators are not in this conference room. Their only task in this battle is to guard against the enemy's Nascent Soul combat power.

However, the two worlds know nothing about each other, so the first battle will most likely be a test, and the probability of a Nascent Soul cultivator participating in the battle is not high.

Putting aside the unexpected situation of the Nascent Soul cultivator taking action, the battle plan had been agreed upon long ago. Now, it's up to the enemy to make their move.

"The enemy has entered our strike range."

At the head of the conference table, a middle-aged Nascent Soul cultivator, dressed in a blue-black military uniform, with resolute features and an aura second only to True Monarch Wuluo, slowly spoke.

He is Qi Tianling, the captain of the Blue Alliance Star Fleet. He is the most senior fleet commander in the entire Federation, and his personal strength ranks among the top ten of the 284 registered Nascent Soul cultivators in the Federation.

As he spoke, all the federal officials present turned to look at the center of the conference table.

There, a semi-transparent three-dimensional star map was displayed, with a conspicuous red dot appearing at the end of the star map, rapidly moving towards the Blue Star.

"The target is quite large. Do these barbarian demons also have warships?"

The Demon Refining True Monarch stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

Wu Luo Zhenjun chuckled lightly:
"They didn't have any warships, but they brought a planet the size of the moon with them."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Yu Xuan demon army has already formed a battle formation on the planet's surface, and if necessary, they may even send this planet crashing into our homeland."

The Demon Refining True Monarch sneered:
"With us here, how could a mere demon race possibly invade the Federation's homeland?"

Listening to the Demon Refining True Monarch's undisguised discrimination against the demon race, Su Yuan, sitting at the end of the conference table, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.

Lao Zhu, you'd better watch yourself. Stop saying things that are detrimental to unity.

With your mouth, if you went to negotiate with the representatives of the Yu Xuan Demon Clan, even the most friendly humans would want to kill you within minutes.

Su Yuan made up his mind that he absolutely could not let the Demon Refining True Monarch go to the front lines in this battle. Captain Qi Tianling said in a deep voice:

"According to the intelligence obtained from the reconnaissance artifact, there are no enemy Nascent Soul cultivators on that planet."

"The number of Nascent Soul demons is roughly estimated to be twenty, while the number of Golden Core demons is between two and three hundred."

"As for the demon army below the Golden Core stage, their numbers reached five million."

Five million demon troops?
Upon hearing this number, Su Yuan was initially taken aback, but quickly realized that it was a normal figure.

The biggest advantage of the demon race is their ability to reproduce; they can easily raise an army of five million.

Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the vast majority of these five million demon soldiers are low-level demons at the early to mid-stages of Qi Refining.

In contrast, the soldiers of the Blue Star Federation follow an elite route, and the lowest-ranking soldiers must be outstanding high school graduates and undergo several years of military training before they are considered qualified.

The requirements for personnel in the Star Fleet are even higher; even elites at the peak of Qi Refining are only considered reserves here.

Moreover, even in terms of sheer military might, the Blue Star Federation is not afraid of any cultivation civilization.

After all, the Blue Alliance is almost entirely focused on cultivating immortality. If it were to expand its army, the number of Qi Refining stage soldiers it could recruit in the short term would be terrifying, but it's simply unnecessary.

"With five million demon troops, our fleet doesn't have enough rank-and-file personnel."

Wu Luo Zhenjun seemed to be deep in thought.

True Monarch of Demon Refining: "If you ask me, there's no need for any strategies at all; they're all useless."

"A single salvo from the main guns of the Star Destroyer would annihilate any kind of demonic army, and even destroy the star brought by the enemy."

Wu Luo Zhenjun said calmly:
"Xiao Zhu, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

"The demon race in the Yuxuan World is very valuable. Whether it is captured or incorporated, it is much better than annihilating them directly."

"I propose that we prepare the naval guns with the Youmu shells and have our soldiers prepare for landing. Once the Youmu shells take effect, we should immediately storm into the enemy lines and capture the enemy commander."

As he spoke, True Monarch Wuluo looked at Su Yuan, who was in the last position:

"True Lord Shiyuan, your Demon Dream Ball is also effective against Nascent Soul stage demons, right?"

Su Yuan nodded:

"It has an effect, but at most it can only make the Nascent Soul demons distracted and unable to concentrate. The Dream Bullet, which can instantly control the Nascent Soul demons, is still under development."

Wu Luo Zhenjun nodded and said:
"In that case, let's discuss how to deploy the Youmu Bullets into the enemy's positions."

"To prevent the enemy from blocking the Youmu missile outside the planet, we need a target that can attract enemy fire."

As she spoke, the red-haired woman's gaze fell on Su Yuan.

Su Yuan felt slightly uncomfortable under that gaze.

No, Senior Su, why are you looking at me like that?
Wu Luo Zhenjun: "Su Yuan, go and hold off all the enemy's powerful figures."

Su Yuan: "..."

He pointed to his nose, stood up in disbelief, and asked:
"Me? Senior Su, this..."

Wu Luo Zhenjun: "When working, one should refer to their job title."

Okay, Su plants.

Su Yuan mentally cursed.

Wu Luo Zhenjun explained:
"Su Yuan, your combat strength and survival ability are very strong, and if nothing unexpected happens, you will be a fatal attraction to the enemy. Your appearance will definitely attract the attention of the demon race's high-ranking officials."

"In conclusion, you are the best bait, and it is perfect for you to draw the enemy's attention."

Justified and convincing.

Su Yuan thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case.

As for whether he would be ambushed by powerful figures secretly lying in wait by the Boundless Calamity Venerable if he went alone as bait?
What a joke! The other side knows how to ambush assassins, but our side doesn't know how to ambush guards?
An Xingran, Gui Yuan, and Qi Anong, the three Nascent Soul cultivators, were all secretly watching over him, which was no different from close protection.

Su Yuan guessed that Wu Luo Zhenjun had another purpose for letting him out: fishing.

What? What if the assassin is too strong, and the three Nascent Soul cultivators can't defeat him?
If even the three Nascent Soul cultivators can't defeat him, what difference does it make where he hides?

After a moment's thought, Su Yuan readily accepted the task.

Apart from the enviable Demon Refining True Monarch and Su Yuan's teacher Tai Bai Tianji, the other high-ranking officials all showed some confusion about this task assignment.

In their view, this mission was no different from sending someone to their death.

Even with his illustrious achievements, Su Yuan, a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, might not be able to escape unscathed.

Why did Wuluo Zhenjun assign him such a task?
Is this a targeted attack?
Is he trying to use his position for personal gain and get rid of Huang Mao, who is trying to steal his daughter?
possible!
Su Yuan had no idea how his colleagues were gossiping about him. He boarded his flying sword and left the warship, heading towards the rapidly approaching demon star.
