I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 890 471: Of All the World’s Worth, God Demons Hold Eight-Tenths

"The transformation of God Demons has already detached you from the physical structures of humans and the Demon Race. Reversing this is impossible, as this metamorphosis penetrates the soul and flesh. Even if you reincarnate, the characteristics of God Demons remain with you."

"The method of conversion conflicts with God Demons and is fundamentally incompatible."

"As you know, conflict means going mad, at best injured, at worst, losing all your power."

"God Demons, though powerful, cannot change this law."

What Gu Shanhai said is indeed true; this God Demon of proving the Dao possesses the characteristic of eternal testament.

Those God Demons who fell in the past didn't truly die; some remnants remain in the bloodline, serving as a legacy to bless descendants.

And if Gu Shanhai wanted to operate, he could use these remnants to revive the fallen God Demons from the bloodline.

This is why they find no path ahead, as the world's memory is insufficient.

Either increase the memory limit or completely kill other God Demons to free up memory and allow further advancement.

It is precisely due to eternal testament that they cannot change systems; even in death, they'd carry God Demon traits.

"Must we kill?" Zhao Xuanti murmured subconsciously but quickly restrained himself.

Because it's unrealistic; if he were the only God Demon, he'd act without hesitation, but other God Demons might not agree to this proposal.

He might be willing to act, but other God Demons have their own interests.

For them, offspring are part of their interests, and both humans and the Demon Race are part of their interests as well.

Unachieved God Demons among cultivators are merely a resource, not life.

"Can I exchange for one of your cultivation techniques?" Zhao Xuanti asked, looking at Gu Shanhai.

Since you claim not to be a God Demon, providing a cultivation technique should be no problem.

"Of course, but what will you exchange for it?" Gu Shanhai was generous; exchanging was not an issue, but freeloading was not an option.

"Name your price, as long as it is reasonable." Zhao Xuanti's meaning was not to ask for exorbitant demands.

"The Five Main Meridians, Eight Veins Method, Nine Demon, Twelve Records." Gu Shanhai stated directly, which covered the major cultivation techniques of the human and Demon Race.

"Agreed." Zhao Xuanti agreed without hesitation. For him and other God Demons, it wasn't a big issue at all.

The cultivation techniques left for bloodline descendants might be precious in the human world but to God Demons, they're just basic, useless techniques.

There was no need to worry that Gu Shanhai might glean their secrets from the cultivation techniques; the gap between God Demons and non-God Demons is astonishingly vast.

"Such prompt agreement, I can't let you underestimate me either." Gu Shanhai remarked, pulling out a "Child Skill" and handed it over.

Zhao Xuanti browsed through the Child Skill, and as he read, his frown gradually eased.

"Wonderful, truly wonderful." Upon finishing, Zhao Xuanti could not help but praise it and then said, "However, this cultivation technique's restrictions are indeed too great. It requires a Child Body, retention of primordial yang, and is immutable, which is truly dull."

In his view, these were weaknesses, significant weaknesses.

"Is this Child Skill also cultivated by your disciples?" Zhao Xuanti asked casually.

"Oh no, this is what I practice; what they practice is my new improvement." Gu Shanhai responded directly.

Zhao Xuanti wisely refrained from asking for this version from Gu Shanhai, obviously reserved for imparting to successors.

But he thought that if he were to ask, Gu Shanhai might give it to him, although in return, he'd have to reveal his fundamental cultivation method, so he didn't bother.

"I see, how did you embark on a path different from God Demons?" Having obtained the cultivation technique, Zhao Xuanti intended to inquire into Gu Shanhai's creative concepts and thoughts, to modify the "Child Skill."

At the very least, remove the two basic restrictions, else the God Demons, none in the group would be able to practice it.

During the process of becoming God Demons, connections like marriage and fleeting relationships are inevitable, so they simply cannot practice it even if they wanted to.

After reviewing the "Child Skill," Zhao Xuanti realized why Gu Shanhai had taken on disciples, due to having no offspring.

"This brings us to monopoly..." Gu Shanhai fabricated a vivid story, essentially a self-reliance tale of having no resources, and succeeding.

Of course, the story wasn't important, Zhao Xuanti knew Gu Shanhai was fabricating, but the story was laced with abundant research data and ideas on the "Child Skill," which were immensely valuable to Zhao Xuanti.

"A single encounter opens the mind." Zhao Xuanti, after listening, further deepened his understanding of the "Child Skill."

"Mutually verifying things, some gains, some gains." Gu Shanhai also gained a little, as during his explanation, Zhao Xuanti would also speak, both engaging in mutual exchange. It's not possible for Gu Shanhai to just hand over a cultivation technique and have to explain it all to the other side.

This "Child Skill" was naturally the initial version that Gu Shanhai created by integrating numerous child skills and combining them with local systems to form a brand new cultivation technique.

Similar to the "Longevity Scripture," it's a cultivation technique tilting towards martial arts, capable of reaching a level above Upper Divine Demon, but its cultivation difficulty has increased significantly.

It's fortunate that the requester is a God Demon, as they possess abundant background; if it were a mere cultivator unless guided, achieving successful cultivation isn't just about reaching success, survival alone would be commendable.

A mixed-bag system isn't so simple to cultivate successfully.

"It's getting late today, within three days, the items you require will be delivered." Zhao Xuanti didn't linger further, then got up and left.

Other God Demons were waiting for him.

"I dare not say nagging, Elder Zhao's visit makes my humble home shine." Gu Shanhai courteously saw him off.

After Zhao Xuanti left, Gu Shanhai sat down and muttered, "All of them, so greedy and wicked."

Originally, Gu Shanhai had no intention of contacting God Demons this early, but Qing Feng and Ming Yue in Shengjing started causing trouble, shouting that their master was a God Demon whenever an issue arose!

For Gu Shanhai, it didn't matter much; the might of a God Demon was such that no one dared oppose him openly.

However, other God Demons certainly needed to investigate this newly emerged God Demon they knew nothing of, hence Elder Zhao's visit.

"Never mind them, God Demons have limited abilities, nothing to fear." From Zhao Xuanti, Gu Shanhai acquired considerable God Demon data, and the strength displayed by his counterpart wasn't particularly high.

He might be powerful among players, but to Gu Shanhai, he was nothing much at all.

"Focused too much on chatting, forgot to ask about this secret realm's situation." Gu Shanhai was sure the world wasn't as simple as it seemed.

If not, were they keeping him here to bully the weak?

"Genesis" wasn't so kind-hearted. If he continued digging, he might uncover something intriguing.

Although, such things might accompany danger.

"The eternal testament of God Demons is quite fascinating. Once I finish researching the pages of the Time History Book, I might explore it."

"Seems somewhat similar to the previous world's power of concepts, though with different tilts."

"Conceptual power leans towards energy, whereas eternal testament is some kind of characteristic."

"If mastered, could I add a proficiency template to the Four Sacred Beasts System?"

"It's a pity; now that I'm strong, if I had this capability upon reincarnating, wouldn't I have taken the path of relentless effort immediately."

Gu Shanhai found this thought amusing; now many treasures seemed like little toys to him. Though back then, such toys could have altered his entire path and growth.
