Chapter 938 Rise of Mortals (Finale)

(Unedited Chapter)

Wang Wei finally arrived in the north and immediately noticed the difference. The Spiritual Qi in nature was not as dwindling as it used to. Although it has not reached the same level as the weakest of the four continents–the West–it was not higher than the islands scattered between the continents that loose cultivators mostly habit.

The Northern Continent was now a veritable place of cultivation for a Heaven-Will World. With Ao Shen as its protector, the demon race no longer has to rely on the Dao Opening Sect to scare away the other factions and prevent them from messing up the situation of the North.

'The demon race has entered an era of prosperity. The only problem is whether Ao Shen can leave enough foundation for them to retain such prosperity,' thought Wang Wei before beginning his tour of the North.

His first observation was that every human was walking in the street with a demon. The Flying Horse Carriage, the Dragon Crawling Construct, and even the Soaring Phoenix Constructs were all designed to include both humans and demons.

'Interesting,' thought Wang Wei as he guessed the situation of the north. He went to a school for humans. Today was a special day for these 10 year-old children. All of them looked excited and kept talking, to the point the teacher just gave up accomplishing anything in class.

The word [Awakening Ceremony] was everywhere, and Wang Wei secretly watched everything without intervening. When the time arrived, all the children headed to a large stadium in the school.

At the center was a large formation engraved on the floor. An adult brought the first child in the middle of the array. The child looked nervous and excited. He stood in the middle and waited.

A few minutes later, bright light enveloped the formation, and a creature appeared beside him. It was a Wind Bunny, a demonic beast that had just awakened its bloodline and acquired basic intelligence.

The bunny looked around before pausing at the child. It was from the Demon School and knew not to easily attack humans.

The formation continued to release brilliant lights. Finally, a marking appeared on the Wind Bunny's forehead and on the child's right hand. Immediately afterward, the confusing look on the bunny's eyes disappeared, replaced by more intelligent eyes.

Meanwhile, the child was excited and jumped before being shocked. That's because he easily jumped more than ten meters in the air and landed without any problem.

"Lei Fan, Physical Attributes," yelled the teacher in charge of the ceremony. Then, the next child appeared. The creature that appeared before him was a crow with blue eyes. As soon as the mark appeared on the child's hand, a pressure released from his body that gave the illusion the surrounding space was twisted.

"Xia Fu, Mental Attribute," yelled the teacher, and many people looked at the child with envy and desire. They knew this person would be an [Extraordinary Citizens] with high status. The teacher called the next children, and she was also a Physical Attribute.

Wang Wei's eyes brightened:

'A symbiotic relationship between humans and demons. Humans can acquire physical or spiritual power from demons, while demons will raise their intelligence. What a great civilization.'

Wang Wei could see the advantages and disadvantages of such a civilization. The humans of the north will be more powerful than normal humans from other continents–especially in the martial arts department. They will have longer lifespans, with normal citizens living up to 200 years and Extraordinary Citizens living up to 350 years.

However, there is also a fatal disadvantage. If something happens to the demon, the humans will suffer tremendous backlash and have a 95% chance of dying. The situation is also reversed for demons–unless the human dies of old age.

'Ao Shen's method is quite ingenious.'

Demonic beasts or demons with pure bloodlines do not belong to mortals. The mortal version of demons are regular animals who have not awakened their wisdom and bloodline. As such, demonic beasts have a longer lifespan than humans because of their bloodline and because they are cultivators.

As such, the majority of these demons who have placed a bond with their human counterpart will outlive their partners. With the contract, their intelligence increased, making cultivation in the early stages easier. Furthermore, they can use the human race's Qi Luck to nourish the demon race.

'This is not just the benefit they will receive. The demon race does not have the talent or ingenuity for Professions like Pill Refining and Talisman Making. However, with their human partners, this problem will be solved.'

Wang Wei looked in the distance and saw the demon race's Professions began to prosper. Beforehand, the demon race was only involved in the selling of materials. But now, they started selling low-level pills, weapons, talismans, and arrays.

The Body Tempering Realm requires pills that increase Blood Qi, and the best pills for this realm use the demon race's body and blood as the main material. The demon race had the advantage, so they have taken over the majority of the market for Body Tempering Pills.

'The Divine Body Realm also requires tempering the body. If they play their cards well, they might take a big share of the market. However, the battle for such a market will not be as simple as the low-level one.'

There are more Body Tempering Realm cultivators in this world than Divine Body Realm. However, the pill value of each realm is a world apart. As such, most factions will not allow the demon race to take part in their benefit without a significant fight. Unless the demon race creates a truly unique pill for the Divine Body Realm, they have little to no chance to enter this market.

'Well, it's not like they won't have a chance,' thought Wang Wei. Once the environment changes, everything will be reshuffled, and this will be Ao Shen's opportunity.

Wang Wei's tour of the north was coming to an end, so he checked out the food. Given their relationship with demonic beasts, he thought the mortals of this place would have an aversion to eating animal meat. However, he was wrong.
