Chapter 466: Birth of the Second-Generation Star Demons

Eliminate every member of the Demon Abyss Clan without leaving a single one alive?

So this was what he had truly been thinking at that moment?

Was that why the Star Demons he created had relentlessly slaughtered the Demon Abyss Clan without showing the slightest mercy?

Hearing the Star Demon King’s words, Xiao Shou finally understood what he had truly been thinking at the time.

He also realized that he seemed to hold grudges quite well.

Uh...

This was really...

He was somewhat unaccustomed to seeing this side of himself.

Without thinking about it any further, he hurriedly changed the subject.

"Then what do you plan to do next?"

"Creator, the World Stone of this demonic land is already beneath the Mother Tree’s roots. The Mother Tree will use its own Star Demon power to transform the World Stone into a Star Sun Realm Stone. When that happens, this realm will soon become more suitable for our cultivation and growth. During this period, we first intend to occupy this small Demon Abyss Realm. We will govern this demonic land while raising the status of the human race and teaching them to become members of our race. At the same time, we will hunt down the remaining Demon Abysss and drive them completely out of this demonic land."

The Star Demon King answered respectfully.

Uh!

What a comprehensive plan.

It was even more thorough than anything Xiao Shou had thought of.

Compared with their plan, his own ideas really were like a child playing house.

After hearing the Star Demon King’s words, Xiao Shou could not help feeling dejected.

He estimated that even if he charged his intelligence several more times, he still would not be able to match the cleverness of his beloved disciple and the others.

They were clearly lives he had created himself, yet they were so much smarter than him.

This made no sense!!!

Although he complained inwardly, Xiao Shou was quite happy as he transmitted his thoughts.

"Mm! Your plan sounds good. Once your operation succeeds, I suppose this world won’t be called the Demon Abyss Realm anymore. We should start calling it the Star Demon Realm instead. Ahahaha..."

"Thank you, Creator, for bestowing a name upon us. From now on, this realm shall be called the Star Demon Realm."

The Star Demon King was clearly delighted.

Just then, after the Star Demon Mother Tree finished digesting the five thousand years’ worth of merit, one hundred and twenty pale-purple fruits rapidly grew on its crown.

Although there were ten times as many of these fruits as the first-generation Star Demon Fruits, their color was much lighter. They were also smaller than the first-generation fruits, and the mysterious demonic patterns on their surfaces were an extremely faint golden color.

They seemed as though they might turn silver at any moment.

Just like that, the rapidly formed second-generation Star Demon Fruits matured. Once their faint golden demonic patterns had completely appeared, they suddenly behaved just like the previous twelve Star Demon Fruits.

Amid a series of loud cracking sounds, all of them simultaneously fell from the crown. While still in midair, countless cracks appeared across their surfaces, revealing human-shaped arms and legs within.

This sudden change interrupted the Star Demon King’s words.

However, Xiao Shou, who had returned to his own body, could no longer use the Star Demon Mother Tree’s senses to perceive what was happening outside. Most of his attention was focused on refining the light-attribute spiritual particles. Furthermore, the Star Demon Mother Tree had always protected him extremely well, causing him to gradually trust its abilities and become negligent about sensing his surroundings.

Therefore, when the Star Demon King’s mental transmission suddenly stopped, Xiao Shou assumed that those had simply been the only words he wanted to say.

He immediately transmitted his thoughts with his divine sense.

"Star Demon Realm, huh? It represents the world where the Star Demons live. In the future, whenever people hear the name Star Demon Realm, they will know that it belongs to you. Ah, right... What should I call you? What are your names?"

As he spoke, Xiao Shou began imagining what it would be like to reunite with them in the future, recognize one another, and talk.

Then he suddenly realized something embarrassing.

He still did not know the names of these Star Demons!

How was he supposed to talk to them when they met in the future?

He could not exactly say, "Hi, Star Demon King. Hello, Star Demon Number One. Hello, Star Demon Number Two..."

Hearing Xiao Shou’s mental transmission, the Star Demon King nodded toward the one hundred and twenty newly born clan members kneeling before him in pale-purple armor.

He did not speak. Instead, he transmitted a mental message filled with grievance.

"We do not have names yet."

"Huh? Why not?"

Xiao Shou was surprised.

With such profound and extensive inherited knowledge, coming up with names should have been easy, right?

Could it be that the Star Demon Mother Tree had been lazy, leaving the Star Demon King to complain about not even having names?

The Star Demon King had no idea about Xiao Shou’s personality and did not know that Xiao Shou had already let his imagination run wild, picturing a group of Star Demons without names because the Star Demon Mother Tree had been too lazy to name them.

So he continued in a somewhat aggrieved tone.

"Because the Creator has not yet bestowed names upon us."

"Uh... You need me to name you?"

Ah!

So it was not because the Star Demon Mother Tree had been lazy.

The responsibility for naming them actually fell on him.

But...

He was terrible at naming things!

Back then, even his beloved disciple’s name had taken him a great deal of effort to come up with. He had thought of the silver fish in the Spirit Spring Milk and then connected it with his wish to establish a sect before finally coming up with the name.

And now he was being asked to name all these Star Demons.
