Di Er Fluid Paste

Fierce Beasts could transform into demons, but that was all—only Fierce Beasts could transform into demons.

A race could never be sustained by merely dozens of individuals. Beyond its strongest members, it needed countless ordinary members to support the entire race.

But the Soul Beast race could not. There was loss with every gain. Soul Beasts in this world possessed extraordinarily long lives, but in exchange, it was exceedingly difficult for them to awaken their intelligence.

A hundred-year Soul Beast had only instincts. A thousand-year Soul Beast possessed the intelligence of a three-year-old child. Only a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast had intelligence roughly equal to that of a human teenager. Only upon reaching a hundred thousand years could it truly possess intelligence comparable to that of an adult human, though it still needed to live among humans and learn from them before reaching the level of a normal adult.

Take Xiao Wu from the original story. Though she had been rather foolish at first, she had not been as childish as others her age. She merely lacked common sense. That was what a newly born member of the Demon Race was truly like—confused and ignorant, yet quick to grow.

What Lu Wu needed to do next was help Soul Beasts across the world awaken their intelligence. Only with intelligence could they understand cultivation and become true members of the Demon Race more quickly. The shackles in their bloodlines would be removed as well.

Lu Wu walked toward the sky, golden auspicious clouds blooming beneath his feet while a vortex formed around him from the spiritual energy he drew in from heaven and earth.

"What is Lu Master going to do?"

The demons stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.

"I have a feeling Lu Master is about to do something huge!"

Xiong Jun patted his muscular chest, passion suddenly surging through his heart.

"I can sense joy. It seems something good is about to happen."

Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook her little head. Her ability to divine was still immature, but the fortune she carried allowed her to automatically predict certain events related to her fate. The effect had become even better after she learned divination.

Joy appeared on Gu Yuena's face, followed by a trace of shame. Clearly, she was the ruler of the Soul Beast race, yet she had done nothing so far. The Soul Beasts' current circumstances were practically all thanks to Lu Wu's help.

The more she thought about it, the guiltier she felt. Then she began to think about giving up altogether. Since she already owed him so much, there was no need to rush to repay it. Instead, it could deepen the connection between the Soul Beast race and Lu Wu.

Having figured that out, Gu Yuena no longer felt troubled and looked curiously at Lu Wu's figure.

"It's the same as last time. It even feels like there's no spiritual energy in places farther away."

Ten Thousand Demons King looked up at Lu Wu. Lu Wu's figure overlapped with the sun, burning in the flames reflected in Ten Thousand Demons King's eyes.

"What is going on? Why can't I cultivate anymore?"

More than half the continent was affected by this absorption. Those who had been cultivating discovered that they could no longer increase their Soul Power at all. Those in the middle of breakthroughs suffered even more miserably. They charged toward the final hurdle, only to find themselves without the strength to continue. Their Soul Power went berserk within their bodies, and they began coughing up blood.

Everyone within the affected area noticed the anomaly.

"Barely acceptable. Absorbing this much should be enough."

The vortex around Lu Wu slowly closed and vanished, leaving only several golden auspicious clouds carrying him in the air.

"Oh, right. Let me tell you something. I'm going to alter the rules on your body."

Lu Wu looked toward an empty patch of space and greeted the Plane Consciousness hidden within, spinning round and round. As the leader of the new-era Demon Race, he still had to be polite.

The Plane Consciousness paused slightly, then resumed spinning. It knew nothing. Lu Wu could do whatever he wanted. It had already given up and would simply let Lu Wu do as he pleased.

Lu Wu smiled faintly. Power surged within him, and a phantom gradually expanded from his body, growing until it covered the sky and blocked out the sun. Everyone across the continent could see that incomparably enormous figure in the heavens.

In Fiend Forest, Evil Emperor stared at Lu Wu's phantom with Big Eyeball, his expression uncertain. He suspected it was a legendary divine beast. In any case, he was nowhere close to such a level.

In the Far North Land, Snow Empress and Ice Empress stood side by side, gazing silently at the phantom that filled the entire sky.

At Shrek Academy, above God of the Sea Lake, everyone stared blankly at the sky and instinctively swallowed.

"Is this the Fierce Beast you faced? I don't recall any Fierce Beast looking like this."

An elder muttered to himself. Even a divine miracle would be no more than this.

"No. Even when we faced Xiong Jun back then, he could not possibly have brought such immense pressure."

A trace of confusion filled Xuan Zi's eyes. Was this something humanity could resist? Could even the God of the Sea achieve this? By the sea, Er Ming stood on a ship, staring blankly at the unfamiliar figure.

"Was it you who brought about all these changes? We need to speed up Tang San's awakening."

Er Ming murmured as he looked out over the boundless ocean.

"Lu Master is so powerful. As expected of Lu Master."

The demons closest to Lu Wu felt the greatest pressure.

"The essence of the sun and moon, whose brilliance becomes Di Er Fluid Paste. Consuming it can increase cultivation and awaken intelligence and awareness."

Lu Wu's voice shook heaven and earth. Every living being on the continent could hear him, staring dazedly at that figure.

"Today, I shall use heaven and earth as an array and all living beings as its foundation, drawing in the essence of the sun and moon. With Di Er Fluid Paste, I shall help all living beings awaken their intelligence and increase their cultivation. One day, all living beings shall transform into demons, and the Demon Race shall flourish forever."

Lu Wu's words rang in everyone's ears, stunning them all. To use heaven and earth as an array—what audacity.

Lu Wu gently raised his right claw, then traced incomprehensible symbols through the air.

A white array diagram slowly unfurled beneath his feet, gradually expanding until it covered the entire sky.

Within the Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold, Ye Xishui looked in every direction. No matter which way she looked, there was an endless array diagram stretching into the distance.

So this suspected divine beast was the one who killed Xiaoyao? "Elder Kong, do we really have a chance of winning?"

The old emperor's voice grew weaker and weaker. In truth, he had long been close to death.

"Your Majesty, we already lost on the battlefield of gods."

Kong Deming stood beside the old emperor. His once towering figure, like a pillar supporting the heavens, now seemed somewhat stooped.

"But how much worse can things get?"

Kong Deming suddenly smiled calmly. In this war, they were merely cannon fodder. There was nothing left that they could not afford to lose. At worst, they would drag most living beings down with them into ashes. Not everyone was a powerhouse.

"Yes, how much worse can things get?"

"God..."

The array diagram was inscribed with patterns no one could understand, yet every part of it seemed to contain the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.

Countless runes flew and circled around Lu Wu, making him seem like the embodiment of the Great Dao. Every movement he made contained profound truth.

The array diagram slowly descended. Countless people watched in terror as it drew closer and closer, as though it would crush them into pulp. The entire Douluo Continent fell into chaos.

Lu Wu paid no attention to the reactions of all living beings. Instead, he looked up at the blazing sun. Di Jun had taught him these things, after all, telling him how to draw in the essence of the sun and moon and create more members of the Demon Race.

As for Taiyi, he was a brute and a glutton. After Lu Wu led him astray, he often went searching for all sorts of things to eat, encountering all kinds of enemies because of it. Most of them could not defeat Taiyi, so the two demons' path of gluttony remained quite smooth.

"Condense!"

It was as if Lu Wu's words carried the authority of heaven. After he uttered a strange syllable, boundless black clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, blotting out all light. The entire Douluo Star plunged into profound darkness.
