313 The Lightning Sword Sects in Trouble!? (1/2)

”Woof!”

Seeing as the Demon King was about to pass him over to the person before them, the black puppy was visibly frightened. Although it had not inherited its memories yet, it was at the early Connate stage and was intelligent enough to sense that the person before them was not a demon.

In the eyes of a demon, humans were aliens.

Although the person carrying it was in human form, his body gave off the aura of a demon, and so he felt safe.

”Little guy.”

Seeing as the black puppy was prejudiced against the human before them, the Demon King spoke up gently, using demon language to comfort it.

”Although I'm not sure why this human wants you, he is an extremely talented man. If you follow him, you will receive benefits and not come to harm.”

”No... I do not want to follow a human!”

The black puppy panicked. ”Humans are all evil; they are the natural enemies of the demons. Some of my friends were killed by humans.”

This time, even before the Demon King could speak, Zhou Donghuang spoke up, ”It is very normal for demons to be killed by humans... Do not forget that demons kill other demons as well.”

Zhou Donghuang spoke up using demon language as well.

”Your Excellency, you...”

The Demon King stared at Zhou Donghuang in shock as he had not imagined that the other party could speak their language.

As long as humans were willing to, they could learn the demon language through a demon. However, that required not just effort but also the natural ability to learn languages, and there were very few humans who were willing to do so.

Because of that, to the Demon King, the number of humans who knew the demon language was very low. From the time he was born till now, he had not met a human who could speak it fluently.

”Follow me, and not only will I not kill you, but I will even provide you with core drugs for you to upgrade your training stage.”

Zhou Donghuang glanced at the black puppy and took out a bottle of core drugs from his space ring. ”These core drugs can be used by both humans and demons at the Connate stage, and they will greatly help you in your training.”

”I want this! I want this!”

As for the black puppy, upon hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, it shot forward like a bolt of lightning and rushed towards the core drugs in Zhou Donghuang's outstretched palm with its mouth wide open.

However, Zhou Donghuang stretched out his other hand, holding off the black puppy and causing it to retreat in disappointment.

Zhou Donghuang then casually threw the black puppy on the ground and said lightly, ”Since you are not willing to follow me, you can stay here.”

”Thank you, Your Excellency.”

The Demon King had on an extremely grateful expression and thanked Zhou Donghuang repeatedly. Afterward, he glanced at the black puppy on the floor, who had on a mournful expression, and gave it a reminder.

”Little fellow, if you can follow that human, you will have good luck. Treasure this opportunity.”

Over the next few days, Zhou Donghuang helped the Demon King to adjust the essential core within his body, which had become abnormal due to him using all sorts of human methods to train. This process took three whole days.

At the same time, Zhou Donghuang passed on a method of crossing over to the Divine Transformation stage for demons to him. ”With this method and with your situation now, you will become a Divine Transformation adept within three months at most!”

”Your Excellency, if you have any requests in the future, please feel free to find me. I will do all I can to help you!”

Before Zhou Donghuang left, the Demon King bowed to him and made a promise to him courteously.

”Mm.” Zhou Donghuang nodded and took his leave.

As he walked away, on his shoulder sat a tamed black puppy. This was the exact same black puppy as before, the divine beast cub that he had used core drugs to try to entice and tame.

Of course, the black puppy was not aware that it was a divine beast.

”Boss, where should we go now?” the black puppy asked Zhou Donghuang with narrowed eyes.

Over the past few days, Zhou Donghuang had used core drugs to buy over the black puppy, and it had thrown away all customs and habits of a typical demon. Now, it was used to calling Zhou Donghuang ”boss” and took on the role of a junior.

”We are going to another planet in another galaxy,” Zhou Donghuang said.

Zhou Donghuang had already made preparations for the path that he had to take next.

Using his memories from his past life, he wanted to visit the places where Divine Transformation adepts had left behind their inheritances so that he could collect them. He would then find an isolated place where he could groom the black puppy until it reached the Primal Core stage.

When he had first met the black puppy, it was only an early Connate adept.

Now, within a few days, it had crossed over to the mid Connate stage.

If it continued to follow Zhou Donghuang and eat core drugs, this black puppy would quickly reach the Primal Core stage where it could then inherit its memories... At that point, a miraculous event would happen.

In Zhou Donghuang's previous life, the black puppy had created a similar miraculous event after it had inherited its memories, and that was the reason why many strongmen of various galaxies had wanted to snatch it away.

In this life, with Zhou Donghuang's intervention, the black dog's life now met with a very drastic change.

At the very least, the time it took to enter the Primal Core stage was now greatly lessened.

Afterward, with Zhou Donghuang paving the way for it, after the black dog became a divine beast, it would naturally not startle anyone else. It could safely pass over the most dangerous stage of growth of an orphaned divine beast's life.

”Orphaned divine beasts,” this title referred to the orphans within divine beasts who did not have parents by their side to protect them.

No one would dare touch a divine beast cub who had parents or loved ones by their side to protect them, even if the cub were to inherit their memories and create a miraculous event.
