The seven grandmasters arrived brimming with confidence, each exuding an extraordinary aura, as if they were unparalleled in the world and supreme among men.
[But they all fell faster than the last. You had to fight the demon for at least twenty rounds before it caught you off guard and tore you in half, while these grandmasters were often either instantly killed or severely injured in a single exchange.]
[In ten rounds, or rather, without any "rounds," the Otherworldly Demon unleashed ten attacks, and all seven Supreme Grandmasters perished.]
"Seven dishes were barely enough to last me half the time." You watch the show, carefree and mocking, only to realize later that the second half was spelled backwards.
Even if you spell it out correctly, you still can't connect the dots.
The seven Grandmasters died suddenly, leaving the surrounding Grandmasters pale-faced. They had no concept of "there are stronger beings beyond this world"; Grandmasters were like gods! Perhaps they should also include the mysterious master from fifteen years ago.
[But a mysterious master is a mysterious master; he's a "Martial Saint" who has cultivated in seclusion, so it's only natural that he's powerful. You, a monster who appeared out of nowhere, dare to compare yourself to a Martial Saint?]
[As it turns out, the Otherworldly Demons may not be as powerful as Zhu Baowen, but killing a group of Grandmasters is practically child's play for them.]
[You look at that group of grandmasters. You know that soon two of them will be despicable, shameless, vile, cowardly bastards who pledge allegiance to the otherworldly demons and be transformed into hybrid human-demons.]
They deserve to die! But you can't move right now, otherwise you should rush up and kill them!
Outside the simulation, Yun Shou, who was fully conscious, had a strange expression.
"Don't make any promises, I'm a little scared."
What happens next might be... beyond imagination!
Then you see the demon's claws flailing wildly, like a small-scale storm of swords, stripping the grandmasters of their flesh and blood in the blink of an eye. A series of cracking sounds followed, even the bones were shattered, leaving not a single one alive.
[It's a pity that the traitors among them didn't die at your hands. What a shame. Although your aptitude has been improved to its limit, devouring blood essence is still a very enjoyable thing.]
[Something seems off... You suddenly realize the problem: If the traitor was torn apart by the Otherworldly Demon, then he's no longer a traitor, right?]
[But if the original traitors are gone, is the Otherworldly Demon not planning to take any subordinates this time? You can't understand it. Why not convert such a great Grandmaster? Does he intend to use Martial Artists as his subordinates?]
[A martial artist transforming into a demon is certainly not as effective as a grandmaster. It seems this demon isn't very bright; your slightest action has created a butterfly effect.]
Yun Shou: "Please stop talking, I beg you, please stop talking."
You see the demon approaching you, dragging several relatively intact corpses of Grandmasters, squeezing out their blood, then plunging its claws into its own chest to extract a drop of demonic blood...
Can you withstand the demonic transformation?
[Hilarious! Of course you can't withstand it. The Blood Essence Fusion Technique already turned you into this mess, and you think you can resist the Ancient Blood Transformation Ritual?]
You have been transformed into a human-demon.
Yun Shou covered his face: "I knew it..."
[You stand up. During the transformation ritual, your body was pieced together by the demons. Now, crimson lines have crept onto your face and your entire body.]
An ancient and noble blood flows through your body, constantly transforming it into a stronger and more powerful form, bringing you closer to that otherworldly demon.
[Not only has your body been transformed into the form of a demon, but your soul has also been corrupted, causing you to regard the demon as your master and believe that obeying it is your due. Your birth mission is to serve it.]
At the same time, you also gained the ability to communicate with otherworldly beings, who tell you that you, as a human, are very peculiar.
"When our ancient race transforms you humans, we first instill loyalty to our pure-blooded ancient race, then amplify your bloodlust, and finally weaken your sense of identity with your former race, so that you no longer have racial empathy..."
The demon paused: "But I only took the first step on you, and that was enough."
"Gilgamesh, right? You were born with two-thirds demonic attributes. It's easier for other demons to convert you than to convert others."
Yun Shou thought of King Gigi, a protagonist in Sumerian mythology who was two-thirds a god.
Many people misunderstand this, thinking it refers to King Gigi having a large part of divine blood and a small part of human blood.
But that actually refers to the three major characteristics of a god: supreme intelligence, super strength, and immortality. Gilgamesh possesses the first two characteristics, which is why he is considered a god with two-thirds of the attributes.
Now, the simulated Old Cloud itself meets the latter two characteristics of transforming into a human-demon... It's practically a processed, semi-finished human-demon, and even the alien demons who use it say it's great.
[You must obey the commands of the Otherworldly Demon, and as a powerful messenger, spread its will throughout the Three Kingdoms: all humanity must submit to it.]
[After the ancient blood transformation, your strength has recovered somewhat, but you were previously drained of power by the Otherworldly Demon, leaving you with only 60% of your peak combat strength.]
[He only has three or four times the power of a normal Grandmaster left; even a sonic boom can only be unleashed for a fleeting moment.]
[You first went to Lake City, intending to massacre the White Water Martial Arts School... only to discover that the city had been wiped out by the Otherworldly Demons half a month ago.]
[You went to the Yangyao Sect again, wanting to meet their reclusive grandmaster, but you were met with indifference. Their grandmaster was instantly killed by a demon's claw, and the entire sect relocated.]
In the end, you killed and questioned as you went, killing some scattered Yangyao Sect disciples.
[In the 304th year of the Great Qing Dynasty, the Otherworldly Demons no longer allow you to recruit traitors, because once you arrive at a sect or army, there is no process of recruitment; they simply start killing.]
In the 305th year of the Daqing era, a demonic kingdom called the "Ancient Dynasty" was established.
