Chapter 467: Naming the Star Demons

Xiao Shou felt embarrassed and tactfully refused.

"The names I come up with don’t sound very good. Hehe..."

Hearing this, the Star Demon King immediately spoke with anticipation.

"As long as the names are bestowed by you, Creator, we will accept them no matter what they are. Please take the time to give us our names."

"Since your race is called the Star Demons, you can all use ’Xing’ as your surname!"

He really knew how to speak. Xiao Shou found it completely impossible to refuse him.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Shou said, "You are the king, and a king is a sovereign, so you will be called Xing Jun. As for the other Star Demons, you can be named according to the order in which you were born. The male Star Demons will be called Xing Chen, Xing Zuo, Xing You, Xing Shou, Xing Hu, and Xing Gong. The female Star Demons will be called Xing Shu, Xing Liang, Xing Xian, Xing De, Xing Zhen, and Xing An."

"Xing Jun thanks the Creator for bestowing a name upon me!"

The Star Demon King, Xing Jun, immediately spoke with boundless joy upon hearing his name.

At the same time, the twelve male and female Star Demons spoke in unison.

"Xing Chen, Xing Zuo, Xing You, Xing Shou, Xing Hu, Xing Gong, Xing Shu, Xing Liang, Xing Xian, Xing De, Xing Zhen, and Xing An thank the Creator for bestowing names upon us!"

Nearby, the one hundred and twenty newly born second-generation Star Demons silently thought the same thing.

They also really wanted the Creator to personally give them names!

Unfortunately, Xiao Shou had no idea that the Star Demon Mother Tree truly deserved to be called the mother of all mothers. It had used the five thousand years’ worth of Demon Dao merit to nurture one hundred and twenty new second-generation demons so quickly.

For some unknown reason, the consciousness of the second-generation Star Demons could not reach Xiao Shou’s consciousness inside the Star Demon Mother Tree. As a result, he could only hear the voices of Xing Jun and the other first-generation Star Demons.

Therefore, Xiao Shou could only awkwardly say, "You don’t need to be so polite."

The moment he finished speaking, the leaves on the crown of the Star Demon Mother Tree rustled softly, as though playing a magnificent melody.

To Xiao Shou and the other humans, these sounds had no particular meaning beyond being somewhat pleasant to hear.

To Xing Jun and the other Star Demons, however, they were instructions from their mother.

Xing Jun immediately spoke respectfully.

"Then we will not disturb you any longer, Creator. Please rest well."

"Ah?"

Xiao Shou was stunned.

They had been talking so well just now. Why had they suddenly told him to rest and stopped talking to him?

Had he said something wrong?

Just as Xiao Shou was feeling puzzled, all the passages leading from the tree heart inside the trunk to the outside world suddenly closed.

Several thick branches wrapped in dense purple radiance withdrew the purple sphere of light that had almost run out of light-attribute spiritual particles.

They then brought over a complete new purple sphere of light, placed it before Xiao Shou, and opened it.

The rich light-attribute spiritual particles immediately made Xiao Shou smile with delight.

He instantly understood from the Star Demon Mother Tree’s actions.

The words Xing Jun and the others had just spoken must have been prompted by the Star Demon Mother Tree.

Did the Star Demon Mother Tree want him to focus on absorbing the light-attribute spiritual particles so that he could repair his body as quickly as possible?

How considerate!

After understanding its intentions, before concentrating on cultivating the Vitality Restoration Art, Xiao Shou said to the Star Demon Mother Tree, "Thank you for taking care of me, Star Demon Mother Tree!"

The response was another burst of rustling from the leaves on the crown of the Star Demon Mother Tree, like the playing of the most joyful melody.

It made both humans and demons instinctively smile from the bottom of their hearts.

...

Heaven Origin Realm.

Fu Young did not do as Nangong Si, Gou Guangming, and the others had expected by relying on his anger and rushing to the passage in the Great Forest of Ancient Demon leading to the Demon Abyss Realm after failing to find the destination of the teleportation arrays in several cities occupied by the demons.

Instead, he methodically used the Osmanthus Tree’s unrestricted teleportation ability to destroy one demon-occupied city and camp after another. He then transformed into his true form and devoured the Demon Abyss soldiers and generals on the spot.

They were turned into nourishment for his true form as it continued repairing itself.

Eventually, within the demonic soul of an important member of the Demon Abyss bloodline, a Commandery Prince of the Demon Kingdom, he discovered information concerning this invasion by the Demon Abyss Realm.

Only then did Fu Young learn that the reason the Demon Abyss Realm had been able to open a passage ahead of schedule and invade the Heaven Origin Realm was because the descendants of the Demon Abyss Clan living in the Infernal Sky Continent had established contact with the Demon Abyss Realm, allowing the passage to be opened.

After obtaining this information, Fu Young thought of the mental transmission Tushan Qing had given him before leaving.

His heart was filled with complicated emotions.

Rationally speaking, he felt that Tushan Qing was right. Going deep into the Demon Abyss Realm to rescue his Master, given Tushan Qing’s ability to tear apart the realm membrane with ease and travel freely between realms, was naturally better left to Tushan Qing than to him.

But...

He still wanted to personally rescue his Master.

Only after seeing with his own eyes that his Master had returned safely would he be able to rest at ease.

However, the other reason Tushan Qing had given him before leaving was also very reasonable.
