Chapter 2233: Self-Awakening, Awakening Others

As for Poson, Yinsiluoda actually hoped more to turn him into a fellow traveler on this rebellious path, rather than just adding a bit of fresh blood to the Demon Descendant population.

"We'll talk about my affairs later; this Transformation Ritual is about to begin. I'll take you to choose a closer observation spot."

"Mm."

Poson responded with a sound, then followed Yinsiluoda to the vicinity of the prepared ritual site. After a simple negotiation, they obtained an advantageous position that had already been occupied by other observers.

While waiting, Yinsiluoda continued to introduce the relevant circumstances of Demon Descendant transformation to Poson, "I just mentioned that the mindset of first-generation Demon Descendants from the Transformation Ritual is completely different from those born naturally. Do you know why?"

Poson was currently observing the Demon Descendants who had already arrived nearby, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Regarding this question, an answer had actually already faintly emerged in his heart; growing up and living in different environments would inevitably create different thoughts, and just how much those first-generation Demon Descendants identified with the Demon Descendant group was actually an unknown.

And Yinsiluoda's explanation was—

"The reason most first-generation Demon Descendants become Demon Descendants is not pure. Some are forced by circumstances and have no choice, such as those involving key deployments of the Midian who are forcibly transformed. Although I do not approve of this method of the Midian, at least for now, this phenomenon cannot be completely eradicated.

"There are also members of Upper Families who lost in political struggles, attempting to use the power of Demon Descendants to regain power for themselves, and others who do it purely for the benefits of transforming into a Demon Descendant, such as powerful strength, long lifespans, and so on.

"Only when they thoroughly recognize the attitude of the mainstream world toward Demon Descendants will they truly identify with the identity of a Demon Descendant. But first-generation Demon Descendants are usually existences above the level of a veteran Mage; they themselves possess relatively high influence in the mainstream world and can, to a certain extent, influence the mainstream world's attitude toward Demon Descendants.

"In reality, it is not easy to make them completely identify with the Demon Descendant identity, which is why I warned you never to expose your true identity in front of first-generation Demon Descendants; otherwise, you are very likely to be used by them."

"What about you? Are you a first-generation Demon Descendant?" Poson suddenly asked.

This question was important if one said it was important, and unimportant if one said it was unimportant; the key was that he wanted to hear how Yinsiluoda would answer.

Regarding this, Yinsiluoda still did not show any impatience; it could even be said that he had long wanted to answer such a question. He glanced at the Demon Descendants around him who looked relaxed as if on a spring outing, and calmly sent a Sending:

"Although I am a first-generation Demon Descendant, I am not that kind of wavering Elf. From the moment I made up my mind to transform into a Demon Descendant, I became completely disappointed with the traditional Elf World.

"To me, being a Demon Descendant represents not only more powerful strength and a longer lifespan, but more so, it represents the only path for the various Taiquese Yizu to eliminate prejudice and achieve equality.

"When the noble are defiled and become the same as the lower races they speak of, perhaps that will be the moment when the concept of 【the people】 returns and the Taiquese Yizu is reborn!"

In the traditional Elf World, the reason Upper Families are Upper Families is because they occupy the Zhigaochengcheng that the vast majority of talented individuals cannot research on their own.

Power determines status and determines rank, but the bloodline of a Demon Descendant can, to a certain extent, smooth out such power differences, not to mention the Magic Energy Magic System that is closely related to the bloodline.

As long as one delves deeply into their own bloodline, any Demon Descendant has the possibility of reaching the supreme realm, no longer needing to act as a dog for the Upper Families to obtain the Zhigaochengcheng, because every Demon Descendant's own bloodline is a Zhigaochengcheng.

On the day when Demon Descendant bloodlines spread throughout the bodies of the Taiquese people, there might still be a division of rank and status, but compared to this solidified world that makes even geniuses feel despair, it would still be countless times better.

Ever since transforming into a Demon Descendant, every extra day Yinsiluoda stayed in the Elf World made him more and more firm in this concept of reform.

It was just that he did not know how much of a psychological impact his words had brought to Poson. Poson had originally only felt some sympathy for the plight of Demon Descendants and some dissatisfaction with the internal class solidification of Elf society, but these sympathies and dissatisfactions were far from reaching the point of wanting to completely change all of this.

Although he had prepared himself to transform into a Demon Descendant, he had also prepared himself to hide in the shadows for the rest of his life. Perhaps on some lonely late night, he had also thought about doing something.

But when the day dawned and reason returned to his body, Poson would still submit to that order he himself did not like. Even hearing Yinsiluoda's calm yet turbulent declaration of reform at this moment, he only opened his mouth, unable to say a single word for a long time.

Regarding this, a look of disappointment flashed in Yinsiluoda's eyes, but it vanished without a trace in an instant. He knew very well how difficult it would be for an ordinary Elf to make such a decision.

But he believed that as long as Poson became a Demon Descendant, he would naturally stand on the opposite side of the old order and embark on the path of reform he was fighting for.

This was also an important reason why he did not agree with the Midian's practice of forcibly transforming Demon Descendants, yet still did not express opposition; in order to liberate the vast majority of ordinary Elves, sacrificing a small number of those in the old order was completely acceptable.

After the silence, Yinsiluoda and Poson tacitly changed the subject and continued chatting until a Spellcaster wearing a black robe and a mask arrived at the ritual site.

Seeing this, Yinsiluoda's expression immediately became solemn, and he sent a Sending to remind Poson: "The Secret Hall Guardian has arrived; the ritual should begin soon."

"That person is the Secret Hall Guardian?"

Poson had never seen the Secret Hall Guardian before, but seeing the black-robed Spellcaster who had just appeared, a look of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

Despite having many guesses, he did not believe he could know the other party's identity.

"Yes, he is the Secret Hall Guardian, and also the host of this ritual—Lord Morning Light."

The name Morning Light sounded like it was not a real name. In fact, Yinsiluoda knew the true identity of Morning Light, but such information was not something Poson, who had not yet accepted transformation, had the Permission Level to know.

Just after Morning Light arrived, four more Elves wearing black robes and masks followed. From the physical characteristics they displayed, it could be judged that these individuals were all Gold Elves.

But whether there was any special disguise, that was unknown.

Poson was currently speculating on the identities of these four ritual participants; were they from Yierlan or Siluwende? He guessed Yierlan because the valley where the ritual was taking place was located within Yierlan.

He guessed Siluwende because Yinsiluoda had brought him here, and he could not help but have associations: did Yinsiluoda know those people, which was why he brought him here?

But such speculation was destined to have no results; perhaps only when he truly became a Demon Descendant one day would he know the answer.
