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

Chapter 494 The Situation in the Yuxuan World!
As a flood of knowledge poured into Su Yuan's mind, the full picture of the Divine Nascent Soul Forging Method was revealed to him.

If the divine creation of the Golden Core represents the initial fusion of a cultivator and a celestial treasure, then the divine creation of the Nascent Soul represents a deeper fusion of the two.

Simply put, it means making the spirit of a celestial artifact the soul of a cultivator's second nascent soul, allowing the cultivator to obtain a second nascent soul without splitting their soul.

A cultivator's soul is finite. Dividing the soul in two and merging it into two nascent souls would inevitably lead to a weakened soul foundation. The divine creation of nascent souls solves this problem perfectly.

However, to do this, one must obtain the consent of the spirit of the celestial artifact.

After all, in a sense, once one becomes the second nascent soul of a cultivator, the two will share both glory and disgrace.

When a cultivator perishes, the immortal treasure will not be damaged, but its spirit will perish along with its master. Even if a new spirit is born on the immortal treasure, it will have nothing to do with the original spirit.

After gaining a general understanding of the effects of the 'Divine Nascent Soul Forging Method', Su Yuan closed the system panel and focused his attention back on the present.

"Chu Chu, if being a maid is really your hobby, then it's up to you. But it's all your own choice, so please don't spread rumors about me outside."

Su Yuan earnestly gave Chu Chu his instructions.

The cat-eared girl, with an indifferent expression, nodded slightly.
“I know the rules. I’ve become your private property. If I dare to say anything bad about you, you’ll lock me in a dark room and humiliate me.”

"Please rest assured, sir, no matter who asks, I will not say a bad word about you."

Su Yuan: "..."

Oh no, this woman is already spreading rumors.

I shouldn't have made that joke on a whim.

Su Youli: "Ahem, Su Yuan, stop for a moment and rein in your wicked desires. I need to ask your maid for some military information."

Haha, it seems these people are quite keen on spreading rumors!
Oh well, his reputation has no room to decline anyway, so let them slander him.

Su Yuan sighed helplessly and stepped aside.

With a serious expression, True Monarch Wuluo earnestly inquired of Chu Chu:
"Commander Chu, could you please tell us about the current situation in the Yu Xuan World, and also tell us more about the Demon Mother you speak of?"

Chu Chu sighed:

“I’m already a prisoner of the enemy. If I refuse to talk, I’ll be tortured. Rather than being whipped, branded, tortured on the tiger bench and the wooden donkey, I’d better just talk from the beginning.”

Su Youli: "...Commander Chu, I think you must have some misunderstanding about us. Those torture instruments you mentioned have long been obsolete."

"Our Blue Star Federation is a civilized nation, so please do not believe or spread rumors."

Chu Chu seemed not to have heard the explanation and continued talking to himself.

"The current situation in the Yuxuan World is actually quite simple."

"The legendary Boundless Calamity Venerable, leading the Holy Law Council and the Nascent Soul powerhouses he recruited in ancient times and even earlier, launched a surprise attack on our world."

"No one in the world expected this surprise attack. We were utterly defeated at the very beginning. Fortunately, Lord Purple Gold Dragon appeared in time to lead us in fighting against the enemy, but unfortunately it was too late."

"The Boundless Calamity Venerable captured the Demon Mother at lightning speed and used her life as leverage to force us to abandon our resistance and work for him instead."

After listening, Su Youli was slightly surprised and said:
"So, does that mean the main fighting force of the Yuxuan World wasn't controlled by methods like the Shadow of the Abyss?"

Chu Chu nodded:

“The holy power bestowed upon us by the Demon Mother is very special and cannot be copied by the Shadow of the Abyss. Therefore, the infiltration methods of the Boundless Calamity Venerable are ineffective against us. This is also why he is willing to negotiate with us instead of directly annexing us.”

Su Youli: "It can even defend against the Shadow of the Abyss, that's truly remarkable. I'm getting more and more curious about the identity of the Demon Mother." Chu Chu explained: "The Demon Mother is a powerful being who surpasses the six Demon Lords. She is a World Tree that has existed in the world for an unknown period of time."

"It is precisely because she took root in the Yuxuan world and spread the light of wisdom to us ignorant demons that we have been able to grow and thrive to such an extent in just over three hundred years."

Upon hearing this, the human cultivators present, including Su Yuan, suddenly understood.

They had long been puzzled as to why the demon race's civilization could develop so rapidly.

After all, in theory, unless they are offspring of a great demon, most demons are born needing to awaken their intelligence, and the time it takes for this to happen varies.

Some may awaken their intelligence in three to five years, while others may have to wait until the Foundation Establishment or even the Golden Core stage to possess sufficient wisdom and take human form.

Therefore, it is far more difficult for the demon race to pass on their culture and knowledge than for human civilization.

But if there were a being above all else who carefully enlightened every newborn demon, everything would be different.

No wonder that even the weakest demon soldiers in the Imperial Demon Army look human and have the intelligence of a ten-year-old child.

Unfortunately, the demon mother who brought the light of civilization to the Yu Xuan demon race was a world tree that could not move or escape. Faced with the targeting of the Boundless Calamity Venerable, she could only endure it and was then captured.

"General Chu, do you have a way to save the Demon Mother?"

Wu Luo Zhenjun asked sincerely.

The situation is quite clear: the crux of the matter lies in saving the Demon Mother.

Once it is successfully rescued, the Yuxuan World will be like a fish returning to the sea or a bird soaring to the sky, no longer suffering from the bird-like arrogance of the Boundless Calamity Venerable.

Chu Chu gently shook his head:

"Before I set out, Lord Purple Gold Dragon and the six Demon Lords still hadn't come up with a solution. This was partly because the enemy was too strong, and partly because the enemy had the ability to destroy the Demon Mother at any time."

"If we cannot resolve this major problem, our Yu Xuan Demon Clan will forever be subject to the Boundless Calamity Venerable."

Upon hearing this, Wu Luo Zhenjun and the others couldn't help but show worried expressions.

Su Yuan sighed inwardly.

That old man is truly too cunning.

Seeing that Su Yuan and the others all looked worried, Chu Chu offered words of comfort:

"Fellow human cultivators, you don't need to worry too much. As long as the Blue Star Federation is not destroyed, the Boundless Tribulation Venerable will not break off relations."

Wu Luo Zhenjun nodded, said no more, and began to direct the arrangements for the prisoners.

Before long, the entire demonic star began to move.

This dead star, roughly the size of the moon, carried the demon captives toward the Blue Star's home planet.

Su Yuan and the others returned to the warship and followed the demon star forward.

"Master, what are your plans for dealing with my demon soldiers?"

Chu Chu looked at the slowly approaching demon star through the window of the warship, his tone slightly worried.

Su Yuan was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that this seemingly abstract demon general was actually a good marshal who loved his soldiers like his own children.
