Chapter 134: Extreme Heavenly Palace – 54K Subscribers Wanted

"Very shocking?"

Arriving before the Heavenly Spirit, who was sitting on the ground with his butt, Wang Wu smiled and continued:

"The boundless universe, vast and endless, and this Cosmic River, or rather the Star River, is merely one among them."

"But for most of you, no— even for everyone on this star, the entire dynasty, perhaps even in a lifetime you cannot explore even one ten‑millionth of its mysteries."

"Perhaps you can see it, but you can never ever reach it."

"Because even light itself needs an extremely long time to cross such a vast distance."

"Between stars lies a true Heavenly Rift."

"The Heavenly Court, in its entire existence, occupies only a single Star River. Though that is already huge."

As he spoke, Wang Wu began circling the Heavenly Spirit, spinning while continuing his show‑off. Though it's a fox borrowing a tiger's might, we're all Earth buddies— what's wrong with soaking up a bit of Earth buddies' light?

"It is very, very large— for the Heavenly Court it is so, and for you it is even more so."

"I previously checked, the neighboring star you mentioned is about eight light‑years away from this realm."

"Do you need me to explain what a light‑year means?" Wang Wu moved to the back of the Heavenly Spirit and asked.

Although the Heavenly Spirit did not nod, the two equally stunned guards nodded.

"A light‑year is a distance that even light needs a year to travel."

"Amazing, right?" Seeing the stunned expression on the two guards' faces, Wang Wu smiled.

"When you open your eyes each day, you can see light, as if it has always existed here, in this realm."

"But in reality, it is not."

"Light traveling from the sun to this realm takes time, but it's so fast you can't even notice it."

"It can cross tens of thousands of li in an instant, but likewise, it has a speed."

"And in the universe, the scale between stars is that vast. Even light must spend endless ages to reach another point."

In fact, humanity's astronomical knowledge in this world is competent, perhaps even more advanced than that of my hometown.

After all, they truly had extraterrestrial colonies, and their vessels actually reached another star system.

But demons don't; although Demon City is quite socialized, its cultural level is still lacking.

"Yes, indeed." At this moment, the previously silent Heavenly Spirit finally spoke, addressing the two guards:

"Light does have speed; you may not know, since most of our demon race doesn't care. But humanity has long been aware of this."

After speaking, the Heavenly Spirit rose from the ground, looked at Wang Wu again, his eyes still full of astonishment.

"Wang Young Hero, you, you are actually…"

"Exactly." Wang Wu nodded, "I come from outside the Milky Way; you can understand it that way."

Explaining the Milky Way and light speed to demons is already troublesome enough; he doesn't want to explain the concepts of the universe and the multiverse, which would be even more troublesome.

But to be fair, the Heavenly Court in this world is already formidable, already at the average level of the cosmic civilizations described in the sci‑fi novels from Wang Wu's hometown.

But Shashou Ge's hometown human society, honestly, is even more formidable.

The ancient humans of Shashou Ge's world conquered the entire universe; Wang Wu didn't know that at first, but now he does.

The Human Empire, a now‑extinct civilization of universal‑dominant level.

The present New Humans are their descendants, or creations; the whole universe is the wasteland after the apocalyptic war that destroyed the Old Human Empire.

Old Humans conquered everything in the known universe, but ultimately perished in a civil war that burned the entire cosmos.

And Shashou Ge's 'New Humans' are the former Old Humans, the pinnacle of technology that made the Human Empire's name echo across the heavens.

They are gods in the true sense.

When humanity conquered everything and possessed most of the Creator's authority, they began attempting to become true creators.

The first step, and the most crucial, is to create a true 'Divine Spirit'.

And they succeeded.

No wonder the technological level of Shashou Ge's hometown world is so formidable; after learning this, Wang Wu finally understood.

In the 22nd century, Lan Pangzi's family's human civilization hadn't conquered the universe; Shashou Ge's side had been universal rulers billions of years ago, so it's no surprise there are so many impressive things.

Although there's still some gap with Lan Pangzi, Wang Wu feels it's not much.

New Humans are 'gods' created by Old Humans; however, Old Humans were on average mentally unhinged from war, so the New Humans should, in theory, be even more unhinged.

Pure war weapons, walking calamities, born for slaughter and destruction, capable of crushing planets and burning star rivers with a single being's power.

But in fact, New Humans are far less unhinged than Old Humans; on the contrary, they are quite normal.

Wang Wu thinks so as well.

After all, even the big demons of the Demon Gate can obediently hail a ride‑share, pay for groceries and love to haggle— who's normal if that's not abnormal?

If it weren't for Master Qin Xiang's ability to easily destroy an entire solar system, Wang Wu truly wouldn't see any difference between his master and an ordinary person.

Moreover, it seems it's not just the master. Everyone… seems rather ordinary.

Although killing without blinking is indeed true, being ordinary is also truly the case.

Rewarding themselves daily, constantly posting borderline handsome‑guy pictures in the chat group, getting perpetually muted— the lecherous ghost Yin Shenli.

Spamming low‑IQ ads all day, frequently forwarding dumb messages, and constantly arguing with group members— Shashou Ge.

Daily posting low‑IQ videos, regularly updating the day's food prices— Master Qin Xiang.

And the one who often posts recipes and cooking videos, First Wang Wu, aka "I'm the Top Chef of Cloudlight City," considered the group's normal person.

And sometimes @Shashou Ge teasingly tags "No Five‑Seat Play," said to be Shashou Ge's assistant, considered his 'legal wife,' though their relationship remains unconfirmed.

Oh right, can't forget 'The World's First Blade,' the sect master of the Heavenly Fire Sect. He's the group owner's veteran sycophant, at least that's what Shashou Ge says.

Of course, there's also the group owner. Aside from muting others daily and insulting his own little brother, he rarely appears in the group.

"Looks like it worked?"

After some bragging, feeling the aura emanating from the Heavenly Spirit's body, and marveling at Shashou Ge's hometown's high tech level, Wang Wu asked the Heavenly Spirit a question.

"Yes, yes..."

Tian Ling nodded, "Young hero's this, this divine pill, truly is..."

"Truly extraordinary..." He couldn't say anything else at this moment; after holding it in for a while, he could only manage that sentence.

"Ha ha, right?" Wang Wu felt thrilled at hearing that; after all, he's an Earthling, and such words would certainly please him.

After all, this is Earth technology!

Earth is the birthplace of human civilization for Assassin Brother's world; in the era of the Old Human Empire, Earthlings were the proper capital lords.

"Besides this, I have something else."

Having shown off and felt great, Wang Wu naturally didn't intend to end there; he still had a whole wave of showing off left.

Thus, under the even more stunned gazes of the three monsters, he produced the "Earth Demon Method" that his master and others had given him.

There are two sets of techniques: one is the "Heaven Demon Method", the other is the Earth Demon Method; the difference between them is akin to the internal manual and the public version of the Extreme Heaven Vajra Sect.

Of course, the gap might be larger, but not in terms of power, rather in difficulty.

In reality, the power of this technique is average; many higher realms haven't been extrapolated, so it aligns with the mainstream transcendental power system of this world.

This mainstream refers to the previous dynasty's mainstream, not the current True Dao system.

But just like the True Dao techniques that have existed for two thousand years and continuously improved, the "Heaven Demon Method" provided by Assassin Brother's group can also keep researching and become stronger.

Compared to the Heaven Demon Method, the Earth Demon Method has fewer annotations; it only gives a general outline, belonging to the most basic "trial version", and cultivating it is naturally more difficult.

Originally Wang Wu hadn't intended to deal with this, but a sect's techniques are divided into public and internal versions; that's the custom there.

So after some consideration, he still followed the custom.

Anyway, in terms of strength there's no real difference; it's just not as easy to cultivate.

"This technique is designed for the demon race, and its purpose is simple," Wang Wu said:

"Cultivating this method can greatly extend lifespan; once you reach the initial realm, you can push back the years of demonic transformation by several hundred years."

"Of course, you can also choose the same road as demonic cultivators; the method also contains it. But that road is destined to be extremely suffering and arduous; once demon refinement fails, you will be devoured by the backlash, and from then on you are lost for ten thousand calamities."

He took the few printed books out of the spatial ring and placed them on the table.

"That's all for now."

"Oh right." Wang Wu added, "This is for all demon races, not just you, so don't think you can monopolize it. I approached you only because you're the city lord and can distribute the items."

"Plop—"

Three muffled thuds startled Wang Wu, who had just finished showing off; looking up, he saw that the three monsters in the stone chamber were now kneeling before him.

"What are you doing?"

Wang Wu walked over and pulled the three monsters up from the ground.

"What are you doing? Get up, get up!!!"

"Young hero!!" Tian Ling, who had just been pulled up by Wang Wu, was already teary‑eyed; he looked at Wang Wu, his voice choked:

"Young hero has nothing to do with us, yet, yet is willing to do so much for my demon race, I, I, I..."

"Who said I'm unrelated to you?" Wang Wu looked at the other with a strange gaze.

"Since you know I come from beyond this Star River, you should also know that I'm actually not human, right?"

Tian Ling was momentarily stunned, but from his sudden look, he clearly understood Wang Wu's meaning.

"If I have to be honest, I'm of the same kind as your demon race, after all we're a bit more alike... no, according to your standards here, I'm a monster," Wang Wu said, scratching the back of his head.

At his words, the three monsters' pupils all quivered.

But immediately after, Wang Wu's own pupils also quivered.

"What are you doing!??"

Two palms slammed out before any sound could arise, striking the chests of the two demon guards.

The two demons instantly spat out massive clots of fresh blood, flying backward.

It was a bit brutal, but at least it sealed their actions, preventing them from doing anything.

Since taking a loss last time, Wang Wu is now very sensitive to such matters.

Although the two are at a similar realm to him, Geng Metal Qi is a special attack against Yao Mo Gui Gui, and monsters certainly count.

Moreover, the two had no defenses at all and even intended suicide, so the effect was outstanding.

"You motherf***ers, trying to commit suicide!???"

Wang Wu, both shocked and angry, walked to the two monsters, stared at them, and pointed at their noses, scolding angrily.

"I just solved your post‑elderly demonic transformation problem, and you motherf***ers want to commit suicide??"

"You've gone mad!???"

"But, but if the young hero's identity were to be known by others..." The female monster on the ground, coughing up a few mouthfuls of fresh blood, said weakly:

"We... we cannot guarantee that this... this matter won't be discovered by them searching our memories, so..."

"If they know, they know!" Wang Wu crouched, swiftly channeling Yin‑Extreme true qi into the two monsters to heal their wounds, "So what?"

"I won't voluntarily tell others, but I also won't deliberately conceal it, okay? If they know, so what?"

"I, I..."

Feeling the true qi entering their bodies, the two monsters' eyes trembled.

They weren't seriously injured, though they looked a bit grim.

Wang Wu only used Geng Metal Qi to seal their actions, causing no other harm.

But now he didn't lift the restriction on the two monsters, because he feared they'd try to kill themselves again.

"Alright, alright, stop doing this stupid shit."

After a simple treatment, Wang Wu stood up from the ground and said.

Then he looked at Tian Ling, displeased, and said, "You didn't stop them either? I assumed you didn't understand earlier, but now I've said this, don't tell me you still plan to let them die?"

"No." Tian Ling nodded firmly, then commanded authoritatively:

"Huo Yuan, Huo Ying, don't do anything foolish!!"

"Can you not do any more foolish things?" After Tian Ling spoke, Wang Wu only then returned to the two demons' side and withdrew the Geng metal qi from their bodies.

At that moment, the two demons looked at Wang Wu, tears continuously flowing from the corners of their eyes.

"M-Master, you have bestowed great kindness upon my demon clan; my sister and I truly are…"

"Sisters!?" Wang Wu only at this moment realized that the two were actually female.

He had previously thought they were one male and one female because one of their voices sounded relatively gender‑neutral.

But they were truly beautiful, and on closer inspection, they seemed rather sizable.

"Repayment?" Wang Wu glanced at the two female demons, then quickly averted his gaze.

"What true forms are you?" Wang Wu suddenly asked.

"They are Huo Niao."

The two demons were about to answer, but Tian Ling was a step ahead and spoke for them.

"Then it's fine." Wang Wu immediately stepped back, but after retreating he still wasn't done and prepared to kick again.

This would lower their favor to the greatest extent.

He certainly didn't want to raise the bird demons' favor.

But before he could act, Tian Ling said again:

"Young hero, you need not worry; Huo Niao are not that kind of bird demon."

"I never said I wanted this." Wang Wu gave him a side glance and said, "Don't overthink it."

"Haha." Tian Ling, seeing Wang Wu's cowardly demeanor, laughed after a long while.

It was a genuinely relaxed, joyful laugh. He hadn't laughed like that in several hundred years.

"Both of those demons are already married, and they even have several paramours; young hero Wang, you need not be afraid."

Wang Wu remained silent, merely watching him quietly:

"Unless you've been with them yourself, I don't believe it."

"That indeed hasn't happened." Tian Ling shook his head, his eyes dimming a few shades at Wang Wu's words, "I have long had someone in my heart; in this life, I will no longer indulge with others."

A pure‑love snake demon—Wang Wu truly hadn't expected that.

"However, young hero, you can trust me. I would never deceive you."

"Perhaps you misread the situation?" Wang Wu clearly still didn't believe, because the trauma that Xiao Ya had inflicted on him was too great.

"M-Master, look at this."

At that moment, the two demons called out to Wang Wu.

Turning his head, a light barrier appeared in front of Huo Ying.

After watching for a while, Wang Wu finally believed.

"If, if the young hero truly doesn't mind…"

Closing the commemorative footage they had recorded before, Huo Ying and Huo Yuan said, their faces flushed.

"Dislike?" Wang Wu was startled, "You two are so beautiful; why would I dislike you?"

"Well, well…"

After a little over an hour, they saw Wang Wu and the Huo Niao sisters depart; once the gate closed, they glanced outside at the full‑martial commotion caused by a snake demon who had long been impatient, just like last time.

Tian Ling chuckled lightly, shook his head, and stopped paying attention.

Afterwards, he looked at the suitcase and cultivation technique Wang Wu had left behind, and fell into contemplation.

Wang Wu is undoubtedly the most virtuous person he has ever met, and also the savior of all demon clans.

Although he didn't care, the cultivation method he left behind, after Tian Ling's persuasion, made him temporarily abandon the idea of widespread dissemination.

Because this thing is… overwhelmingly sensational.

For the demon races, it could be a savior, but also a fuse that could destroy them.

The reason is simple.

In a place of repose, how can one allow others to snore?

This world is ruled by humans, not by demons.

Perhaps some humans might not care about this, and many might even support it.

But Tian Ling cannot guarantee that all people and all human regimes share this attitude.

"Extreme Heaven… Divine Palace?"

Recalling the name Wang Wu had told him, Tian Ling murmured.

At this moment, Wang Wu had no idea that just beyond a wall in a stone chamber, an ancient great demon was constantly muttering the "organization" name he had casually invented, and was quite busy at the time.

For these two bird demons who do not cherish life, he must punish them severely, making them feel the weight and richness of life.

It must be said that the demon king of the Cave Void Realm is indeed stronger, but that's about it.

Still not as good as Ms. Xie Yu, one can only say.

He easily crushed it completely, then left triumphantly, leaving three still‑conscious, convulsing walking corpses on the ground.

Until half an hour later, Huo Yuan slowly awoke.

Looking at the chaotic ground, she instinctively touched her slightly plump little belly.

Instantly, a flood of memory fragments from before she lost consciousness surged in her mind, causing her body to lose control again and begin severe convulsions.

Even though she had already left, Wang Wu's torment had not ended.

It's not only female demons that are unbearable monsters; male demons are just as much.

Of course, all are special attacks against the opposite sex.

This is also why Zhu San Niang keeps complaining after reading some strange‑tale novels.

Humans, even cultivators, cannot completely win a monster's wholehearted devotion through that method.

They can only use love, which is obviously a better and easier way.

As for that ability, it is nothing but the fantasy of a human scholar.
