Xiao Wuji suddenly realized that since Tang San was the protagonist of a book, he certainly couldn't be treated poorly if he were to keep up with the reading. If he wanted a spirit ring, there was no need for fusion; the Lone Bamboo spirit beast should simply sacrifice itself to him directly.
With this thought in mind, the content he had originally written for Yu Xiaogang naturally required major revisions, and many interconnected plot points had to be carefully deliberated.
Adding such a Lone Bamboo protagonist carried significant weight, so Xiao Wuji pondered it repeatedly.
Once everything was decided, rushed to completion, and proofread for errors, he released Legend of the Lone Bamboo God to that special ten-year-old Lone Bamboo at the break of dawn.
A flash of green light appeared, sinking straight into the bamboo and imprinting itself upon its soul.
The meaning Xiao Wuji wanted to convey was clear enough for the bamboo to understand: even if it had to discard its physical form, it would not delay its pursuit of the latest content.
"Legend of the Lone Bamboo God?"
"The Lone Bamboo God specially selects bamboo sprouts, guiding them to become successors to the divine throne and the new Lone Bamboo God."
A stream of information appeared in its mind, leaving the Lone Bamboo greatly astonished and overjoyed. It absorbed the nutrients of the sun and soil every day precisely to reach the highest realm.
It seemed this diligence had finally moved the gods.
Xiao Wuji watched the scene before him with a clicking of his tongue in wonder. What he saw now was not just a bamboo stalk, but a special spatial projection where a small emerald bamboo stood before a jade-like page.
The latter was naturally what he had written, and the small bamboo was the little Lone Bamboo.
Xiao Wuji had truly racked his brains for this bamboo. Aside from knowing it was resilient and ten years old, he knew absolutely nothing about its personality.
Later, he saw orphans of the same age laughing and playing, and a flash of inspiration struck him, bringing sudden enlightenment.
In fact, for such a simple spirit beast, there was no need for flowery language; writing in a straightforward, candid manner was best, as the creature couldn't process too much complexity.
Having figured this out, Xiao Wuji was delighted. Unlike the repeated deliberations he had for other protagonists, he could completely bluff his way through with the Lone Bamboo spirit beast.
Everything in the book was the guidance of the Lone Bamboo God.
"Sacrifice to a human?" The Lone Bamboo was deeply confused as it read. Spirit beasts and humans were natural enemies; how could it sacrifice itself to one?
As the Lone Bamboo read further, it finally understood the Lone Bamboo God's profound intent.
Humans were not good creatures to begin with, and that Tang San was even worse; while his teacher Yu Xiaogang was willing to die for him, Tang San harbored murderous intent in secret.
Yet, Tang San possessed immense talent and was destined to become a god. If he were allowed to ascend, the God Realm would have no peace, and the Lone Bamboo God might even be unable to escape death, forced to refine divine artifacts for him.
Therefore, it not only had to sacrifice itself to Tang San and consume his luck, but it also had to guide Tang San to fuse with ordinary spirit rings like the Hundred-Month Lone Bamboo and the Thousand-Day Lone Bamboo.
However, it would tell Tang San that these were top-tier Hundred-Year or Thousand-Year Lone Bamboo spirit beasts, as the Lone Bamboo species was far too unique and vastly different from other spirit beasts.
When the time came, all the Lone Bamboos would ascend to the God Realm, and among the myriad gods, the Lone Bamboo would reign supreme!
The Lone Bamboo was stirred with excitement as it read. It had long felt that its kind grew taller and taller, and even if it did nothing, it was a towering, supreme spirit beast.
The first-generation Lone Bamboo God had grown all the way to the God Realm and ascended to divinity; now, as the second-generation Lone Bamboo God, it would rule over all gods, each generation stronger than the last.
After finishing the content and engraving the Lone Bamboo God's teachings into its heart, it thought, "I need to wait for over three months. When the time comes, I, the second-generation Lone Bamboo God, will also enter the human world."
[Legend of the Lone Bamboo God first two chapters read.] [Read count: 24.]
"I spent too much time thinking about that section and realized later that I was being too clever for my own good. Now that I've already thought about the day of the spirit awakening, I should release Su Yuntao's book first; I need to prepare for my own spirit awakening as well."
Xiao Wuji patted his head. Once he had cleared his thoughts, ideas flowed like a spring, and he developed two more protagonists in succession.
In Su Yuntao's Happy Life, he wrote about Su Yuntao awakening the trash spirit Blue Silver Grass, possessing innate full spirit power, causing a sensation, and then getting a promotion through Bibi Dong, which led him to marry his companion Si Si.
He also had him manage the Nuoding City blacksmith shop on the side, forcing Tang San to forge weapons for the Spirit Hall—after all, not many people knew the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
In Young Master of Nuoding City, he used Xiao Wu to lure Xiao Chenyu, setting him on the path of a villain, which even gave Tang Hao a role, forcing him to give the City Lord of Nuoding a lesson.
Waking up early, the spirit awakening process began, and Su Yuntao, as a deacon of the Spirit Hall, had to bustle about.
Although it was difficult for commoner villages to produce spirit masters, awakening a farming tool spirit could still be of help to their lives.
Just as he was about to step out, Su Yuntao felt a book slam onto his head.
"Su Yuntao's Happy Life?" Seeing the title on the cover, Su Yuntao was greatly surprised, even feeling a bit between laughter and tears. How could he not know about this book?
Feeling strange, he flipped it open and saw the book claiming he worked diligently for the Spirit Hall, received promotions and raises, married Si Si, and was highly valued by the Pope.
[Chapter 1: Trash Spirit Blue Silver Grass and Innate Full Spirit Power]
"Could it be that this awakening will not only produce a spirit master candidate but also a genius with innate full spirit power?" Su Yuntao was about to head out for the awakening, but upon seeing this title, he was filled with wonder and stopped rushing, beginning to read slowly.
[Arriving at Holy Soul Village, Su Yuntao heard the same old clichés from the village elder, Old Jack. "Children, this is a Battle Spirit Master from Nuoding City. Next, he will lead you to awaken your own spirits. You must cooperate with the Master for the spirit awakening; Grandpa looks forward to seeing someone among you who can become a spirit master." Even though he heard it every year, Su Yuntao said impatiently, "Alright, you said the same things last year. Is it really that easy to become a spirit master? I've already been to six villages, and not a single person had spirit power. Nor were there any suitable spirits."]
Looking at this familiar scene depicted in text, Su Yuntao sighed. It wasn't that he didn't know how to respect the elderly.
As the book stated, he had already visited six villages before reaching Holy Soul Village, and there were still many more villages left to awaken.
With such a heavy workload, even a spirit master's body found it extremely exhausting.
Moreover, becoming a spirit master was truly not that easy. Being stern to make Old Jack abandon his unrealistic fantasies early was actually a good thing, saving them from being disappointed time and time again.
Su Yuntao read on, his expression shifting rapidly. It turned out that the trash spirit Blue Silver Grass and innate full spirit power had actually appeared in the same person.
"How is this possible?" Su Yuntao was astonished.
While clicking his tongue in wonder, Su Yuntao finished the second chapter, which, like the synopsis, talked about his promotion and marriage.
After finishing the content, Su Yuntao put the book away properly and, with a mind to verify its claims, stepped out of his room.
