Chapter 456: Primal Demon, the Essence of the Instance System
Monk Jingchen reached out and pinched Xiaobao's little paw, and said softly, "Xiaolan, can you teach me how you adjusted your mindset after hearing about this?"
Xiaobao slapped his palm-leaf fan-like hand away in disdain, rolled over and lay on the table, and replied casually: "How perverted he is, what does that have to do with me? I'm just a little kitten. Little kittens only need to sleep, fight dogs, and eat dried fish."
Maomao: "Woof?"
“Bang!”
Xiaobao hit Maomao on the head again with a look of disgust.
"Stupid dog."
Maomao didn't get angry when he was patted. He wagged his tail and licked Xiaobao with his backhand, as if he was eating a piece of ice cream.
"Well, senior, is this matter really outrageous?" Lu Wenwu asked tentatively.
"Senior? No, no, no, you are my senior. On the path of cultivation, those who have achieved the highest level must come first." The old monk Jingchen put on a mask of pain. "This is the law of the Great Perfection level! I, an old monk, have cultivated for so many years and still haven't reached the Great Perfection! Have you cultivated for fifty years at most?"
Lu Wenwu pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It seems not. Even if you include the time in the dungeon, it's not enough."
Now the old monk Jingchen put on a second layer of the mask of pain.

Lu Wenwu wanted to remind the master that he seemed to be obsessed, but when he thought about the current situation, he remained silent.
The atmosphere in the room gradually became quiet and eerie.
Lu Wenwu didn't dare to say a word.
Maomao drank the juice happily.
Monk Jingchen covered his heart with his hands and looked painful.
Xiaobao, who had already seen through everything, lay on the table and secretly watched Monk Jingchen making fun of him.
This mask of pain cannot be worn by a cat alone.
Everyone has a share!
It's like failing a test.
If you don’t do well in the exam, you will be the only one who feels bad.
When I found out that my brothers didn’t do well in the exam, I suddenly became happy.
You old bald donkey, suffer the consequences!
The pervert Lu Wenwu cannot be judged by common sense.
Just get used to it.
When you can remain calm when you see him, then you will have cultivated a calm Buddhist heart.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was becoming increasingly weird, Xiaobao stood up, shook his fur, and patted the monk Jingchen, who was leaning on the table and seemed to have died suddenly, with his paw.
The shiny bald head made contact with the furry little paws, making a muffled "bang bang" sound.
"That's enough, old baldy, stop teasing him. You're only doing this for my sake. I'm going to let someone else clean up the shit and show you what moral ethics are. Stop lying there and pretending to be a fool."
"What do you mean by pretending? This old monk really finds it hard to accept." Monk Jingchen looked dejected. "Great Perfection! And it was achieved by devouring the laws of the world! Aside from the legendary primordial demon that was born at the beginning of the world, who else could have such a heaven-defying ability? Even Taotie, one of the Four Evils, is not even close."
Lu Wenwu was stunned: "Ah? When the world was first created? Isn't it there now?"
Monk Jingchen sat up, sighing and shaking his head. "How could such a being still exist? According to legend, the Primordial Heavenly Demon is the source of all demonic powers and the origin of the inner demon."
"It can turn any means into its own use, devour any bloodline and integrate it into itself. Everything can become nourishment for its growth. There is nothing in the world that it cannot devour."
"Although the Primordial Demons are given the word 'Demon', in reality, this name is simply because they are the origin of the demonic path, not because they are inherently evil."
"In the fragments of ancient legends, the primitive demons that occasionally flashed by were nothing more than philanthropists compared to the many demonic cultivators who have gone astray."
"Compared to the True Demons that cholera the Three Thousand Worlds, the Primordial Heavenly Demon is a completely neutral moral saint."
"I once heard a rumor circulating up there that even the True Demon's almost memetic pollution ability is helpless against the Primordial Sky Demon. The Primordial Sky Demon can even devour this power to grow."
"You say, such a heaven-defying existence can be called a strategic killer. If a true primordial demon still exists in the world, how could you not have heard of it? How could it still be unknown?"
Lu Wenwu hesitated for a moment: "Is it possible that the original demon has not yet fully grown?"
"It's theoretically possible, but practically impossible." Monk Jingchen sighed. "Did Xiaolan tell you the truth about the dungeon system? Or rather, do you know anything about it yourself?"
"I've learned part of it. I guess there must be a group of terrible enemies that started a large-scale war. In order to fight against these existences, the Heavenly Court united multiple pantheons to form a resistance front." Lu Wenwu replied.
Monk Jingchen's expression gradually grew serious. "You're partially right, but not entirely. To be precise, the high-ranking officials of Heaven discovered a thoroughly polluted and dilapidated world while traveling through the heavens, and they attempted to clean it up."
"After losing many men, the leaders realized that even True Immortals and True Gods would find it difficult to resist this terrifying contamination ability. They would still be gradually infected and transformed into a special life form existing in the world."
"Even more terrifying is that those who have been contaminated are completely indistinguishable from their appearance, and even their powers lack overt characteristics. However, once contaminated, they are completely controlled by that power, and their sole purpose is destruction."
"Those polluted civilizations will no longer advance, those polluted strongmen will no longer create, all development will stagnate, and only a group of madmen who try to destroy everything and harm others without benefiting themselves will remain."
"In order to protect Blue Planet and the vast world we inhabit, the Heavenly Court has united with other divine systems to form an expeditionary force. They have constructed an extremely long defensive line in the boundless Chaos Sea, keeping the enemy thousands of miles away."
"You have seen this power that can contaminate everything. It is the true devil."
"Those who have accepted the power of the True Demon are called Demon Seeds. They are also the main enemies that we who ascend to the Gods must face."
"The real demon has been stopped. The game and attack between the two sides are at a level that we cannot participate in."
"All we have to do is travel through the heavens and myriad realms, rescuing those worlds, planets, and continents that have been infected by the True Demonic Power or are on the verge of destruction. We then bring them to this end of the defense line for purification, turning them into our own vital force and weakening the enemy's war potential."
"Worlds are being born every moment. Besides training us as reserve forces, the dungeon system's most important function is to act as a radar, constantly searching for newly born worlds and previously undiscovered worlds throughout the universe."
"Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, kings against kings."
"So, do you understand why I said that the situation you're assuming is almost impossible?"
Hearing this, Lu Wenwu's expression grew serious, and he nodded slowly, "I see. What you mean is that Primordial Demons, which can even devour the power of True Demons, will become the enemy's main target of sniping. Therefore, those who didn't grow up before the war started will almost certainly not be able to grow up again?"
"And the original demons that had grown up were killed in advance for various reasons, so this strategic-level killer weapon is now extinct, right?"
"That's the truth."
Monk Jingchen showed an expression that showed that the child was teachable.
"As life forms from the early days of chaos, the Primordial Demons are vastly different from ordinary intelligent life forms. It can be said that they lack a high level of consciousness and only act on instinct like wild beasts. Communication is essentially impossible."
"So, long ago, the leaders of the Godly Alliance worked together to try to capture and use the Primordial Demon to fight for us. It can only be said that the results were not very ideal. Once on the battlefield, these creatures could not tell the difference between humans and animals."
"The bosses speculated that just like humans are picky about food, the power of the True Demon is not to the taste of the Primordial Demon. Uncontaminated life forms and resources may seem more delicious to the Primordial Demon."
"But even so, if I were a true demon, and I knew there was a powerful being who could transform their power into nutrients for growth, I would kill him at all costs, even if the probability was very small."
"Who knows if the Primordial Demon can actually develop a communicative consciousness and become an intelligent life form? If there were to be another such being, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the True Demons."
Lu Wenwu's expression began to become a little worried.
It’s not that I’m afraid that I might lose my life at any time.
Lu Wenwu was not afraid of this emotion at all.
He was just thinking, if he wanted to continue to improve his strength and pursue more delicious egg-filled pancakes in the future, would he still need to be on guard against sniping attacks from demon species and real demons?
As for taking advantage of the long steps to ascend to the sky and practicing until the ascension, Lu Wenwu had never considered this method of practice.
The purpose of his practice was to travel through the heavens in search of better-tasting egg-filled pancakes.
I would rather die than not be able to make a better-tasting egg-filled pancake!
If you choose to stay indoors simply for the sake of self-cultivation, wouldn't that be throwing the baby out with the bathwater and putting the cart before the horse?
What's more, this kind of meditation and retreat was not what he wanted in the first place.
Even if he could endure this kind of training, he would not have been able to go so far in the training method he chose.
Killing, fighting and devouring are the best ways for him to improve his cultivation.
"Why do you have such an expression? Are you worried about this war?" Monk Jingchen was a little surprised. "Although you are a genius unrivaled in your generation, it's too early to worry about these things. What you should be thinking about is ascending to immortality as soon as possible. Don't be too ambitious."
"I know, Senior." Lu Wenwu was a little distressed, "But I'm not really worried about this."
"Oh? So what are you thinking about?"
Monk Jingchen became more and more curious and raised his cup to drink tea to moisten his throat.
"I'm thinking"
Lu Wenwu hesitated for a rare moment, looking troubled.
When he saw a hint of worry in Xiaobao's eyes when he quietly opened them, he finally made up his mind and spoke his mind.
"I was wondering, if I were the original demon, what should I pay attention to in the future?"
"Pfft! What did you say you are?"
"What the hell are you talking about again!"
Monk Jingchen and Xiaobao were both shocked. The man and the cat stood up suddenly, staring at Lu Wenwu with their round eyes.
That extremely aggressive look made him, who had always been as thick-skinned as the corner of a city wall, unable to withstand it.
Xiaobao's voice trembled faintly: "Shit shoveler, you really are joking this time, right?"
"Xiao Lu, the laws can be modified randomly, you can't say that casually!"
Monk Jingchen finally couldn't hold back his curses and pressed his big hands, like a palm-leaf fan, hard on Lu Wenwu's shoulders, as heavy as a mountain.
"Senior, you broke the rules." The corner of Lu Wenwu's mouth twitched.
"Isn't that the point?! Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart, understand?! The Buddha himself wouldn't blame me for this kind of problem!"
Monk Jingchen stared with his big eyes, his expression more solemn than ever before.
"According to seniority, Xiaolan should call me uncle, and you should call me uncle now. Tell uncle, you are joking, right?"
"Uncle, I really want to say that, but I really didn't." Lu Wenwu was a little helpless.
Seeing that the man and the cat were not giving up, he simply showed his system panel.
When Xiaobao saw the prefix in front of Lu Wenwu's ID, his head suddenly buzzed.
My mind went blank, the world was spinning, and I almost stumbled and fell on the table.
The original demon!
It really is!
What does it mean to have a primitive demon with human intelligence, not yet fully grown up, and extraordinary talent? Anyone who knows about this kind of creature can realize it!
It's over, it's all fucking over!
Will Lu Wenwu still be alive in the future?
If he can only practice here from now on, he will definitely not accept it.
Xiaobao's heart was in a mess, just like the balls of wool that he had torn into pieces.
He discovered a long time ago that Lu Wenwu possessed a special ability that allowed him to gain power by killing his opponents.
Originally, it thought that this was just ordinary devouring power.
Who would have thought that this was the core ability of the original demon?
No wonder.
Not only Xiaobao realized it, Jingchen also realized it.
If it really is the original demon, then all the miracles that Lu Wenwu created before are still against the will of heaven, but this can barely explain it.
He was not as panicked as Xiaobao, but carefully read Lu Wenwu's panel in its entirety.
After seeing the series of rules and skills for cooking egg-filled pancakes that were almost at the Dao level, Jingchen felt very disappointed.
With this kind of incredible understanding and talent, if one dares to take a step forward, he will be targeted to death!
Once the true demon gets the news, he may even send out his strongest force to forcibly break through the border to exchange one for one, or even two for one with Lu Wenwu.
However, when Jingchen saw that Lu Wenwu's [Race] column was still "Human/Primitive Demon", his heart suddenly relaxed a little.
Things seem to be turning around?
