Chapter 899: Chapter 251: The New World Forged by That Sword

In Li Yuan’s eyes, the old woman began to complete her transformation...

The withered skin became smooth and fair, the bony figure turned slender, and soon became as delicate as a frail but beautiful woman...

Before long, the old woman had disappeared.

In her place was an unparalleled beauty dressed in tattered rags, her expression bewildered, her appearance charming, with eyes like jade.

The beauty panted, then fearfully knelt before Li Yuan, chanting: "Master."

Li Yuan said, "Wasn’t your master Beidou?"

The Firefly Demon said, "My master, from now on, is you."

Li Yuan had already gotten the answer he wanted from her—Sister Yan had won.

And now, he needed the secrets that the Firefly Demon knew.

He asked, "Can you see the road?"

The Firefly Demon said, "Yes... as long as I maintain my youthful appearance, I can still possess a certain amount of supernatural power, but I need a lot of longevity."

Li Yuan asked, "What about your secret soldiers?"

The Firefly Demon said sadly, "They’re all dead, something happened to the Beidou Alien Star, no egg can remain unbroken under a fallen nest... However, perhaps only the Three Emperors can hold out for a while longer. They were the pinnacle of the Xia Dynasty’s power, and have their own ways to avoid disaster for a time, but they cannot last long."

"Which Three Emperors?" Li Yuan asked.

The Firefly Demon said, "The Celestial Emperor, the Earth Emperor, Human... Human King.

The Celestial Emperor and the Earth Emperor went to the Immortal Realm, now hidden within the sects, recovering their strength while searching for a way to advance to the Second Grade. If they can reach the Second Grade, they might escape the fate of death and truly live again.

The Human King is imprisoned in the Central Capital Celestial Prison, his life or death unknown."

Li Yuan asked again, "This power of yours that absorbs longevity, did it also come from Beidou?"

"Yes, this power can absorb not only longevity but souls as well, and even infuse souls... From now on, I will only listen to my master. If my master does not allow me to drain longevity, I absolutely will not."

The Firefly Demon became especially obedient.

In front of Li Yuan, she had become an extremely docile lamb.

No matter what Li Yuan asked, she would not hide anything anymore.

No matter what Li Yuan wanted her to do, she would never say no.

Because she knew, only this man in front of her was her hope for survival.

Just then, a strange sound suddenly came from the air.

"Gurgle... gurgle..."

That sound came from the Firefly Demon’s stomach.

Li Yuan said, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat something."

"Thank you, master." The Firefly Demon hurriedly got up, following closely and nervously behind the young man.

Upon entering the nearby town, many people looked, their eyes showing amazement at the girl wrapped in old cloth garments.

The Firefly Demon’s appearance was ethereal, the jade remains’ aura made her look extremely beautiful.

Yet, just over an hour ago, she was still a dying old woman.

Li Yuan first took her to have a hearty meal, then brought her to an inn room for a bath and change of clothes.

When the Firefly Demon emerged again, all signs of hardship had vanished from her body, and she looked every bit a remarkably beautiful young lady.

But which young lady could match her aura?

"Master."

The Firefly Demon sweetly paid her respects.

Li Yuan casually said, "Call me young master."

"Young master."

The Firefly Demon responded again.

The two strolled along the street, the Firefly Demon truly resembling an obedient little maidservant following behind Li Yuan, while many bystanders murmured, "Whose family’s young master servant girl is this?" and said, "This young master is truly fortunate." During this time, even a fool son of a landlord came to ask Li Yuan if "this maid is for sale."

Soon, Li Yuan bought a carriage in the small town, then comfortably got on, while the Firefly Demon sat obediently in the imperial hand seat.

"Young master, where are we going?" The Firefly Demon asked charmingly, trying her utmost to please.

Li Yuan said, "Let’s leave the town first."

"Understood, young master." The Firefly Demon not only tried to please but also acted cute, completely devoid of the ferocity from when she was an old woman.

In no time, the carriage left the town.

Only then did Li Yuan ask, "What changes have occurred in this land?"

The Firefly Demon knew it was time to prove her worth, and she cherished such opportunities, so she organized her thoughts and said, "An unanticipated new world is taking shape."

"Oh?"

Li Yuan glanced at his status panel.

There, the original "[Divine Techniques 3: Human Emperor System 1 (0/9)]" had changed to "[Divine Techniques 3: Human Emperor System 2 (??)]."

The Firefly Demon continued, "The Great Unity of Yin Yang has been broken, this land will no longer be able to nurture any cultivators of Human Souls, Earth Souls, or Celestial Souls.

Not only that, all cultivators will gradually weaken, until they are reduced to less than a Ninth Grade martial artist.

But this will not happen immediately, there will be a gradual process."

She thought for a moment and said, "Thirty years.

In thirty years, not to mention Central Earth, but even the East Sea Immortal Realm will be destroyed.

However, a new world will emerge, where all martial artists can practice new powers.

That power originally belonged to the Human Emperor.

No.

Not just the Human Emperor.

Rather, it’s the power formed by the fusion of the Emperor Star, the Alien Star, and... this land."

For a long time, the Firefly Demon revealed a bitter smile and said, "The Human Emperor, he destroyed a world, but also created a new one."

Li Yuan asked, "How do you know all this so clearly?"

The Firefly Demon said, "From the Ancient God Era, the Secret Technique Stele, when I was with Beidou... Beidou guided me to obtain one of the steles, to execute his plan better.

This Secret Technique Stele is related to the Celestial Secret.

So, to some extent, I can see a very vague general trend.

But there are too many variables in this era, and the general trends I perceive often change, and observing the trends and divulging the Celestial Secret consume longevity.

However, if it’s based on the current moment, observing the trend without any changes is still accurate."

Li Yuan curiously asked, "The Ancient God Era? Secret Technique Stele? What is that?"

The Firefly Demon did not hesitate to say, "The Great Xia established three thousand years ago, and further back... that was the Ancient God Era."

Li Yuan asked, "Are those in the Western Pole Divine Tomb the ancient gods?"

The Firefly Demon sneered, "They are not."
