A cat that lingers beside a saint

For Su Bai and Jinwu, subduing these newly born demonic beasts in the Endless Forest was an extremely simple matter.

Although the Golden Crow was only created by the goddess Nuwa using a wisp of her primordial spirit from the Demon-Summoning Banner, it was originally at the highest level within the banner.

No matter what kind of demon beast it is, the moment it comes into contact with the Golden Crow, fear and awe will arise deep within its primordial spirit.

This is not just an innate restraint, but also highlights the Golden Crow's status within the Demon-Summoning Banner.

In fact, Nuwa didn't use the Demon Banner very often. Before the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, when Dijun and Taiyi gave this item to Nuwa, they actually wanted to use it to preserve the last bit of power of the demon race.

At the same time, it also meant handing over the power of life and death of the entire demon race to Nuwa.

The two demon emperors foresaw the final outcome of the war between the witches and demons, but they never expected that Nuwa was a saint.

Sages should follow the way of Heaven. If all the demons were truly resurrected and returned to the Three Realms, then not only the resurrected demons would be punished, but even Nuwa herself might be implicated.

As a sage, Nuwa naturally understood this.

Therefore, for such a long time, except for the time before the Investiture of the Gods, she has never used the Demon-Summoning Banner.

Now, in this void, she can do whatever she wants.

The saints are here, which is equivalent to sealing themselves here, and this place has become a world of its own.

Although it is still very different from the outside world, as the saints gradually become more active, this place is actually not much different from the outside world.

The only limitation is that the beings in this world will never be able to leave this land.

……

In just one day, almost all the demons in the entire mountain forest had gathered.

These demons were actually those who died in the war between the Lich King and the Demon King.

Back then, the two demon emperors worked together to create the Demon-Summoning Banner, and all the demons entrusted a wisp of their primordial spirit to it.

As long as the primordial spirit within the Demon-Summoning Banner remains intact, they will all have a chance to be resurrected.

Unfortunately, this demon banner is ultimately different from the Investiture of the Gods.

Although the demons who died retained a trace of their original spirit in the Demon-Summoning Banner, even if they were resurrected, they would have lost their memories.

All that remained in their minds were the cultivation methods that were ingrained in their blood.

Su Bai lay on the back of the Golden Crow, feeling the warmth of the sun, his gaze lazily sweeping over the group of demons under the tree.

After a moment, Su Bai said calmly, "From this day forward, I am your king... no, king doesn't sound right, you should all call me Cat Celestial Venerable."

Although the demons lost their original memories, the arrogance in their bloodline was not erased.

Upon hearing Su Bai's words, bursts of sneer occasionally rippled through the demon horde.

"A little stray cat dares to call itself a celestial being?"

"I'll give you ten bear hearts and ten leopard galls, and you dare to say those words to me."

……

The barrage of taunts did not anger Su Bai; he simply patted Jinwu's back gently with his cat paw.

One second ago, those great demons who were still mocking and ridiculing were reduced to ashes by the true fire of the sun the next second.

At first, Jinwu was somewhat reluctant.

But as all the demons looked at him with fear in their eyes, he felt the blood in his body boiling.

Yes, that's exactly the look he wanted—a look of awe and fear.

As for the cat on its back...

Oh well, it's not like he's never been second-in-command before.

Ok?

Jinwu was slightly puzzled.

How could I have such a thought?

……

The Golden Crow's tactic of making an example of the most dangerous demons was very effective. After killing a few of the most vocal demons, the rest quickly calmed down.

Seeing this, Su Bai nodded in satisfaction.

He then jumped off the Golden Crow's back, tucked his two front paws into his arms, lay down on the treetop, and looked down at the group of great demons with a smile, saying, "Today is just to meet you all and let you get to know each other. From today onwards, I am called Cat Celestial Venerable."

After saying that, Su Bai turned to look at the Golden Crow.

The Golden Crow hesitated for a moment: "My name is... Wu Tianzun."

Su Bai nodded solemnly and said, "In addition, you also have a Spirit Celestial Venerable. From today onwards, cultivate diligently. When the time is right, I will lead you to conquer the world."

Before the demons could react, Su Bai jumped back onto the Golden Crow's back.

Su Bai then pointed to the Taoist temple not far away. The golden crow immediately understood, spread its wings, and flew towards the old Taoist temple.

Meanwhile, the great demons who were still in the same place were also completely bewildered.

What's the difference between saying this and not saying anything at all?

……

Back at the Taoist temple, before the Golden Crow could carry Su Bai inside, Wan Ling immediately came out.

When she first saw Jinwu, she was taken aback, and then a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She had seen this bird before; she had seen it in the Empress's mirror.

The empress's mirror can see the present, and it can also show some scenes from the past.

Although it was brief, it was enough for all spirits to understand everything.

The reason for her surprise was actually quite simple: she saw Su Bai lying on Jinwu's back, and Jinwu didn't seem to have any complaints about it.

Especially when Su Bai used his claws to preen his feathers, the Golden Crow seemed to enjoy it very much.

In her memory, the Golden Crow was born in ancient times, or even earlier, long before the lords and empresses had become saints.

The Golden Crow was already one of the controllers.

Of course, the Golden Crow controls the heavens, and it has also established the first demon court in the primordial world.

The current Heavenly Court of the Three Realms is actually a remnant of the Demon Court from back then.

However, later, the Lich Wars broke out, and the two races fought to the death, ultimately resulting in mutual destruction and even the near annihilation of the leadership of both races.

Thinking back, those two golden crows in the Demon Court back then were so majestic and proud.

Even if it meant death, they refused to make peace with the witch clan, showing that their pride outweighed their concern for their own lives.

But now, when Jinwu appeared before Wanling and became friends with Su Bai, Jinwu's status in her heart was immediately lowered.

The golden crow possesses an innate regal aura.

this is normal.

However, after its birth, the Golden Crow was just a creature that knew nothing.

Before meeting Su Bai, all his actions were carried out according to his bloodline memories.

He met Su Bai before he was completely controlled by the bloodline memories, so his personal experience was naturally more real than the bloodline memories.

To be honest, it was actually quite comfortable when Su Bai lay on his back and used his paws to preen his feathers.

"Junior sister, look! This is a bird I just caught. It has three legs!"
