Chapter 1351 - 857: Obedient Silver Cat

If you think about it carefully, subdividing the other civilizations into subordinate ones does make some sense.

After all, in this world, only the Twin Tree Civilization has external enemies—the Youhan Tree.

Entities like the Mechanical Civilization·Magic Furnace don’t face such formidable foes! The crises within their continental civilization mostly originate from internal human conflicts.

It’s saddening that where there are people, war becomes the main theme.

Undoubtedly, crises are a good remedy for fostering unity among humanity.

And when crises aren’t imminent, nations will attack each other, and the Human Race will engage in wars and internal strife in various forms.

The Twin Tree Realm has nothing to be proud of; the Great Xia Continent went through the same.

Since the birth of the Kunlun Divine Tree, this continent only has fragmented periods of peace.

The war between the Human Race and Beast Race lasted a full three hundred years and ended with the wilting of the Divine Tree.

In that war-torn post-war world, when the Human Race and Beast Race had just begun to walk a path of harmonious coexistence, internal unrest began again.

People started to divide, and extremist organizations like the Heart Slaying Garden are a representation of this.

The aftermath of war indeed impacts all aspects.

Various people, driven by various motives, are wreaking havoc on this continent.

Some believe Demon Beasts shouldn’t exist, and the Twin Trees shouldn’t have been born!

The normal world, they say, should resemble the era before the first year of the Twin Tree Realm, without Spiritual Energy and Demon Breath, without Demonic Plants and Beast.

That is the normal world, and the order people want to restore.

Some believe Spiritual Energy and Demon Breath divide humanity into hierarchies.

They commit crimes under the guise of "equality for all," slaughtering any creatures that oppose them, plundering resources, and expanding their own organization.

Even more extreme humans wish for the world to be destroyed, not wanting the chaos to cease.

And then there are the traitors who have sided with the enemy, seduced by the Youhan.

Why does the history of the Great Xia have large blank spaces?

Everything has a reason.

The wheel of history rolls on mercilessly; when the chaotic Demon Taming Continent finally starts to quiet down, an even greater crisis enters people’s view—the invasion of Youhan!

The era Du Yu finds himself in is around the millennium mark of the Twin Tree Calendar.

People born in this era may feel very pained, very hopeless, as the invasion of Youhan Realm has reached such a degree.

The reality is, no matter which era people are born into...

All beings suffer.

"Little Du Yu."

"Present!" Du Yu awoke from his contemplation and turned to look at Liao Sha.

The woman had lost her initial relaxed demeanor; her face was serious: "I need to return, need to carefully consider the future path."

"Okay, Elder." Du Yu immediately nodded, aware that Liao Sha couldn’t stay away from the Magic Furnace for long.

The answer is simple: cultivation barriers.

This is the fundamental reason why Demon Tamers from other continental civilizations are rarely seen among the five continents.

The Desolate Silver Lynx dislikes Liao Sha, believing the flames of the Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet are counterfeit.

Likewise, the Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet would feel that the Demon Breath within the Twin Tree Realm is unfit, making it uncomfortable staying here.

If you insist on cultivating, you can do so.

As long as you’re prepared for your efforts to be half as effective and your Demon Pet to become detached, everything will be fine.

Liao Sha’s identity is undoubtedly more special; she is the Demon Taming Saint!

Others may neglect their cultivation, but if Liao Sha dares stay long in the Great Xia Inland, she’d become another Cheng Feng, losing her rank here!

"Thank you for your help, Little Du Yu." Liao Sha looked at Du Yu, "In the future, I will still trouble you."

Du Yu’s heart slightly moved: "Does Elder plan to visit the Ashen World again?"

Liao Sha nodded: "I can catch some wild Mechanical Demon Beasts, throw them into the Ashen World, and see what form they take."

Du Yu: "..."

From an evolutionary perspective, if Mechanical Demon Pets can indeed update and transform, then Liao Sha’s strength will undoubtedly see substantial improvement!

Of course, all this is mere conjecture; it is practice that leads to true knowledge.

Du Yu and others have been executing missions in the Ashen Continent for so long; the Cold Beast groups they encountered along the way were mostly "old versions" of Cold Beasts.

Moreover, among the Cyan Sect members, there are Celestial Treasure Race creatures, such as Divine Ghost Firefly, Wind Witch, Ghost Yingluo, and others.

Du Yu hasn’t seen these Demon Pets change forms either.

"It’s just a preliminary idea; I need time to think it over." Liao Sha stepped towards Du Yu and extended a hand.

Du Yu reached out and shook it.

Liao Sha once again expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Little Du Yu."

Du Yu: "It’s my duty. Elder Liao only needs to give instructions."

"Hehe." Liao Sha regained her former radiance, her smile becoming vibrant again.

The adult world is indeed different.

If the Intelligent Mechanical Demon Puppet were Du Yu’s Demon Pet, he’d probably be unable to laugh, or even pretend.

And what Liao Sha said next shocked Du Yu.

The woman said softly: "Tell me, what do you want, sister?"

Du Yu: ???

Sister?

You’re probably more like my great-great-great-grandmother!

Du Yu didn’t know Liao Sha’s exact age, but every single one of the Seven Saints of Great Xia is an elderly relic.

Du Yu wouldn’t believe it if you said Liao Sha was in her early thirties.

My Master Qing is 29 and hasn’t become a Saint yet; why would you become a Saint at thirty-something?

Besides Paper Crane Disciples, who can have the same luck as my Master Qing?

Jade Gourd?

No! The greatest opportunity in Master Qing’s life is me...

"Asking a lady’s age isn’t gentlemanly behavior." Liao Sha looked at Du Yu with a smile.

"Uh." Du Yu averted his gaze, realizing he had once again written his thoughts on his face.

"Nothing you want?" Liao Sha released Du Yu’s hand, "I feel embarrassed to trouble you like this constantly."

"Elder Liao being stronger is all I want; being able to help you is an honor for the younger generation." Du Yu said solemnly.

I say I want a Supreme Saint, but your Mechanical Civilization doesn’t have one either?

"Hmm?" Liao Sha raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the young man in front of her.

Du Yu quickly gathered his thoughts and whispered, "One day, if I go to cut down the Youhan Tree, just protect me, alright."

Liao Sha: "..."

"Hehe." Du Yu smiled awkwardly, "I..."

"It’s settled then!" Liao Sha suddenly exclaimed.

"Ah?" Du Yu looked up at Liao Sha.

Liao Sha: "The Youhan Tree you mentioned, is it the Cold Tree under the Bottomless Kunlun?"

Du Yu nodded silently.

Liao Sha’s face broke into a radiant smile, repeating the words Du Yu said earlier: "To be able to help you with this would be my honor."

This conversation was indeed somewhat magical.

Keep in mind, this was the first meeting between the two!

The two of them, truly one dares to make a request, the other dares to take on the task!

The fundamental reason, of course, is because of Liao Sha’s identity; she is one of the Seven Saints of Great Xia.

Their mutual goal is to protect Great Xia, a perfect alignment.

"Before you go, you must first get permission from the Kunlun Divine Tree." Liao Sha patted Du Yu on the shoulder, her eyes full of encouragement.

Clearly, she understands Du Yu well, as if she knows about Du Yu’s battle with the Kunlun Divine Tree?

"Definitely." Du Yu nodded heavily.

"Then I shall leave first." Liao Sha bid farewell, suddenly reaching out to pinch Du Yu’s cheek.

Du Yu: "..."

Do you insist on pulling off my face to reveal an old demon’s face before you’re satisfied?

"Hehe~" Liao Sha chuckled charmingly, her figure silently shattering, transforming into wisps of breeze.

"There is indeed such a Saint." Du Yu pouted, as a giant cat approached from the side.

The silver, soft fur engulfed half of Du Yu’s body.

A rustling voice etched into Du Yu’s mind: "I will always be with you."

Du Yu reached out to rub the big cat’s fur: "Why suddenly say this?"

"No matter how perilous the road ahead." The Desolate Silver Lynx curled up into a ball, completely engulfing Du Yu, "Until the world’s end."

Du Yu slightly opened his mouth, deeply immersed in the silver ocean, not caring about the mouthful of cat fur.

You rascal!

Why say such touching words?

Desolate Silver Lynx: "Don’t be angry with me anymore."

"Good guy~" Du Yu grinned.

Are you pulling out the dagger at last?

You think I’m so easy to pacify?

"Du Yu."

"Hmm?"

The Desolate Silver Lynx’s body formed a tighter circle, curling up even more: "Love me like you did before."

"So insecure?" Du Yu’s expression was strange.

Since the Demon Taming began, he believed he gave his Demon Pets enough security.

No matter how capricious, mischievous, or even rebellious the pets might be, they had every confidence in their hearts: Master Du Yu would never abandon or leave us.

It seems the Desolate Silver Lynx is truly afraid.

This time, her thoughts indeed touched Du Yu’s bottom line.

"Meow."

"Hee hee~" Little Fen Yang suddenly appeared, "Silver Cat knows she was wrong!

Du Yu, Du Yu~ don’t scare Kitty anymore!

She still wants to be a Baojun, if this continues, she’ll break!"

"Hmm." Du Yu pondered briefly.

All dangerous sprouts should, of course, be nipped in the bud.

Since the lynx acknowledged her mistake and completely dispelled dangerous thoughts, and Little Fen Yang also spoke up...

Du Yu vigorously rubbed the silver fur: "Not for next time."

"Meow." A giant pink tongue descended, repeatedly licking the defenseless Du Yu.

"Hey? Wait, no, stop!" Du Yu was unable to push away the lynx’s large tongue.

The small and powerless human race could only use their arms to shield their face, pitifully trying to resist.

"Oh!" In the next moment, Du Yu let out a soft cry.

A long tail suddenly attacked, curling around Du Yu’s waist, and placed him on the lynx’s head.

A satisfied Desolate Silver Lynx walked forward a few steps, its front paws stepping onto the stone railing.

At this moment, looking at the city beneath her, she finally had some of the majesty and satisfaction of "Ruling the World."

If he wasn’t by her side,

The killing and conquering seemed to lose the expected fun.

"Let’s go, we’re heading back." Du Yu reached out, pinching the lynx’s sharp ear.

"Snap~"

The silver ear bent gently, flicking Du Yu’s hand away.

Desolate Silver Lynx looked at the vast city below, suddenly letting out a shout: "Meow!!"

After a bold declaration of sovereignty, the Desolate Silver Lynx leaped.

She jumped from the top floor of a 160-meter tall building, plunging straight down to the road below!

So arrogant to this extent!

"Oh my!" Du Yu’s heart skipped a beat, the wind howling in his ears.

"Meow~~"

"Mountain Earth Concealment, don’t shatter the ground!" Du Yu hurriedly commanded, as wind swirled around his feet.

"Whoosh~" He and the lynx separated more than ten meters above the ground.

Du Yu slowly descended, while the Desolate Silver Lynx had plunged into the ground, and slowly floated up.

He and his pet cooperated perfectly, Du Yu once again landed on top of the big cat, and the Desolate Silver Lynx dashed away rapidly, straight towards the west city.
