"Soul Symbiosis?"
Everyone was taken aback, and even the emperor's eyes flashed with a strange light as he asked, "What do you mean?"
"What is most precious to your human race is not your physical body, but your spirit," the old celestial master said, opening his arms. "The pure spiritual energy in this world is formed from the spirits of your human race. The human soul is the foundation of this world, therefore we conclude that the human soul possesses the strongest potential!"
"And that is indeed the case." The old Celestial Master pointed to the Human Dao floating in the light of the Four Saints and said, "The spirits of the Four Saints are all top-tier beings in the heavens. Why would such enormous beings choose to pass on their legacy to the human race after their death?"
Everyone remained silent, yet they had an answer in their hearts, though some found it hard to believe.
"Just as you think!" The old Celestial Master grinned. "Your potential is the only possibility that could bring these dead demons back to life!"
Everyone: "."
Is that really the case?
It is a fact that almost everyone agrees that the human race has always been weak, including the strongest individuals among them.
Because they are weak, they try to Fusion the power of demons; because they are weak, they make themselves neither human nor ghost. And now they're being told that humans are actually very strong?
For a moment, even the Imperial Capital looked somewhat bewildered.
"Humans are strong, but you are very unlucky. Before you could even grow up, you were already firmly locked up by those terrifying beings in the void. You originally had no chance. No matter how much you struggled, your fate was to become food or slaves!"
"Those beings in the heavens," the Celestial Master said, pointing upwards, "Will not allow your human race to have any chance of rising to power."
Everyone in the crowd was stunned by these words, except for Kagura eyes held a strange look.
Chapter Four, Hehe!
"This is the first time I've heard such a remark." The emperor quickly regained his composure and smiled faintly, "Then how is your Ancient Demon Clan any different?"
"We're different. We're parasites!" The old master grinned. "You're the most promising species, and we're the most promising parasites. We're a match made in heaven!"
"You don't need to worry about us eating any of your bodies. Except for a very few exceptions, we won't use your bodies at all."
The old celestial master walked up to the Four Saints Guard and patted them on the shoulder. "You have all seen this body. It is the crystallization of the Warlock Dynasty's creation over ten thousand years, the most suitable vessel for your human souls."
"Our vessel?" A group of old sorcerers swallowed hard, probably guessing what was going on.
"Yes. You are the containers!" The old master looked at everyone, his eyes narrowing into slits. "These are all prepared for you!"
Everyone: "."
"Take a look." As the old celestial master looked over, all Four Saints Guard took off their shirts, revealing their almost perfect muscles. At this moment, everyone looked over. Although they were still wary of the Four Saints Guard ' terrifying scarlet eyes, they were able to forcefully suppress their fear and showed a hint of greed.
The old celestial master sneered inwardly upon seeing this.
Humans are truly terrifying. Despite being so weak and having such fragile mental strength, they can overcome the fear brought about by interspecies differences in the face of desire. Based on this nature alone, someone should have realized long ago that the human race has never been weak.
"We have created the most perfect Dao Body. Theoretically, we have eradicated the weaknesses of our race and no longer need to rely on the growth of other races. However, under the research of the ultimate physical body, we realize that even the strongest body has its limits. The soul is the origin of species evolution."
"We possess the most perfect transplantation method, capable of directly transplanting your spirits onto this perfect Dao body, allowing them to Symbiosis with you!"
"Why?" Chen Baifeng immediately questioned, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Why are you doing this?"
"I already said it. Symbiosis!" Celestial Master Zhang looked at them. "Your spirits have the greatest potential. The bloodlines and techniques you inherited were from top-tier demons. Those things will be imprinted within your spirits. As long as you have a better physical body, you can grow rapidly. We are the parasites; the faster you grow, the more we benefit!"
"Is that so?" Chen Baifeng retorted before anyone could ask, "It's not that simple, is it? What if it grows to the end? Won't you usurp the host's body? After all, I just saw with my own eyes how my stupid son had his body taken over!"
"It's different." Celestial Master Zhang shook his head.
"What's the difference?" Chen Baifeng immediately said, "Even if, as you say, we can Symbiosis for the time being, and we grow up using these bodies, who knows if we'll become the fruit you've nurtured, only to be harvested at any time?"
These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly sobering up many family elders, who looked coldly at the old Celestial Master.
"Your son's potential has been reached because he has already reached his limit," Celestial Master Zhang said quietly. "The evolution of a species is not a matter of a day or two, including all demons. Their evolution has been achieved through the efforts of countless generations, little by little. Although your human race has unlimited potential, you must also follow the rules. If a generation could quickly grow into the talent of other top demons, how could you possibly be enslaved by demons?"
"Your son has never practiced martial arts, and his physical abilities have already reached their limit under the development of the Ancient Demon. In other words, his body will not grow much even until he dies. Therefore, the Ancient Demon inside his body did indeed want to abandon his current physical body and obtain a high-quality demon body like White Plain's in order to win the competition and grow faster."
"However, it's different if we Symbiosis with these Dao bodies." The old Celestial Master pointed to the Four Saints Guard and said, "These Dao bodies are all made using millennia-old techniques and have extremely high potential. They can ensure that your spiritual bodies grow for more than 100,000 years. We don't need to change bodies at all; we just need to follow you and grow together."
"Especially you elders who possess top-tier techniques," the old Celestial Master said, looking at the elders whose eyes were beginning to waver, "Being chosen by a technique means you already possess exceptional talent. If you were to combine that with a perfect Dao body, you could reach the level of Dragon King or even higher within a hundred years. Don't you want to one day leave this world and go beyond the heavens to see even greater sights?"
Most of the elders looked at their own patriarch, their eyes clearly showing hesitation mixed with greed.
"We are parasites. As long as your potential remains, we will always complement each other. As for what will happen many years from now when your potential is exhausted, do you need to consider that?" The old celestial master's voice was seductive. "You give all your resources to the young now because you have no future. But now that you have the opportunity, don't you want to climb to the top yourself? Even if it means being shattered to pieces? 'Those who seek the Dao, even if they die in the morning,' isn't that a conclusion your human race has drawn itself?"
"I"
In an instant, most of the elders' eyes began to soften, clearly having been persuaded.
Even Chen Baifeng hesitated for a moment.
Yes, let's not talk about what will happen in the future, but the benefits right now are real: a perfect Dao body and brand new opportunities. So what if there are some hidden dangers?
The path to enlightenment is fraught with thorns; countless ancestors perished in their quest to obtain the magical powers of these demons.
What are these minor hidden dangers compared to the present?
Let's secure the benefits first, and then we can figure out how to get rid of the parasitic Ancient Demon later, right?
"That's interesting."
A deep, resonant voice broke the crowd's hesitation; it was the voice of an emperor, incredibly powerful and deep.
Celestial Master Zhang looked over, his eyes icy. "Your Majesty, you and King Xiang are both of unparalleled talent. If you wish to join forces for a great cause, we will prepare the most perfect Daoist bodies, even..." He pointed to the Human Dao, "Above these Four Saints!"
"Oh?" The emperor narrowed his eyes, his pupils flashing with domineering golden flames.
"You have something even more powerful than the Four Saints?"
" The Warlock Dynasty gathers the essence of humanity; the benefits it brings will far exceed your imagination," the old Celestial Master said sincerely. "If Your Majesty is willing to join us in this great undertaking, you will be a member of the Ancient Demon Clan's royal family!"
"Together we will undertake a great undertaking." The usually stern emperor suddenly chuckled, raising his chin and surveying the old celestial master's hunched figure, his voice cold and mocking. "Quite the choice of words, but... to undertake a great undertaking with me? You bunch of insects dare to presume?"
