Chapter 446: 365 Chapters: Voters
After encountering a Void Demon that turned out to be a werewolf, Duan Mingyuan beca much more talkative.
Ever since he t Jiuyue, he seed to develop a natural fondness for canines, and so, upon encountering this large white wolf, he was inclined to observe it.
As it turned out, the demons of the Land of Eternal Night and the canine monsters of Blue Star reacted the sa when angered—they bristled.
The large white wolf before him was baring its teeth, with its fur puffing up in a threatening manner.
"What is your na?"
he asked again.
"It’s none of your business!"
The large red eyes glared at Duan Mingyuan, but having heard about Duan Mingyuan’s ability to freely alter the way energy sustains itself, it beca markedly wary.
As a higher-being demon from the Land of Eternal Night, it had just begun to grasp the threshold of energy, but upon honest reflection, if it were tasked with transforming a Warlord from beginning to end into a completely different species, it surely couldn’t do it.
This ant that in terms of understanding energy, this human before it was even higher.
Above a higher-being demon...
These simple words gave rise to a slight sense of panic in its heart.
The only entities once considered above higher beings seed to be those that granted them strength.
"Could it be, are you like that witch?"
After a long stare, the big white wolf finally couldn’t resist asking.
Indeed, Duan Mingyuan was not the first human to arrive in the Land of Eternal Night; earlier that day, another human had been summoned to their world.
"Witch? There have been other people here before."
"Answer my question first!"
The large white wolf’s gaze was sharp; this question was crucial. If the man before it was also an avatar of their master’s will, that would be a fitting explanation.
However, the actions of Duan Mingyuan and the energy bubbling within him made it hard for it to link their identities together.
The Dark Night Witch was different.
From the mont they t, it had felt the Dark Energy surging within her body, and her soul had beco dark and twisted under the baptism of that energy.
Although she had the appearance of a human, her inner self was not much different from theirs.
"We are different,"
although a lie would have easily let him brush off the large white wolf, he chose to deal sincerely, "Perhaps, we are completely opposite beings."
He thought carefully about everything he had witnessed along the way.
The scholars’ speculation, the ability to control Void Demons, and He Ya’s judgnt, it all seed to echo one concept in his mind.
This was the cleverness of the Void Demons, He Ya ntioned they were the most adept at discerning the human heart. This ti, the demon took full advantage of the people familiar to him, using their voices to deepen the "kindred" concept, even Da Jiang, Fu Ling, and He Ya themselves hadn’t noticed they were being used.
This was the answer derived from various clues, the "truth" they found in the real plane.
Thus, Duan Mingyuan naturally heard a certain call.
The call from the Land of Eternal Night told him that his mission in the real plane was complete, that it was ti to return ho, back to his throne that belongs to him.
The large white wolf ntioned the Dark Night Witch; perhaps she heard the sa call, too.
"You are..."
The Great White Wolf was first stunned and then pounced fiercely. It instantly got the answer, "An Angel Envoy of the Sun King!"
This was the only existence in the world that could match its master and make the demons of the Land of Eternal Night feel fear.
But the Sun King had long since disappeared.
Only that sun maintained with great effort by human civilization remained.
Just as the Great White Wolf’s sharp claws were about to tear Duan Mingyuan to shreds, an unprecedented pain engulfed it.
It was an indescribable ache, a strange and repulsive feeling.
The demons of the Land of Eternal Night were war instrunts, existing for war. Their bodily functions were designed for the battlefield, with an incomparable tolerance for pain and injury.
What would be fatal wounds to humans were no different than skin abrasions to them.
Yet now, it was collapsing to the ground because of the pain.
It stared intently at its own hands. The pain did not originate from wounds, but from sothing deeper, a transformation.
The Great White Wolf saw its once-prized sharp claws disappear, replaced by the nimble index fingers of humans. The fur on its arms turned into smooth skin, which looked fragile, sothing precious but as if it would shatter upon touch.
This brought an unprecedented fear over it, the sa kind of fear as the Warlord’s.
Through the Crystal Ball, the Great White Wolf had witnessed firsthand the desperate screams of the Warlord before he was thoroughly transford.
The whole process lasted nearly a minute. When she recovered from the agony, she was just over one ter sixty in height, even shorter than Duan Mingyuan. Her petite body had no presence to speak of, and she could not find any weapon on her body that could easily rip through human flesh; even her breathing beca delicate.
"You, you dare—!"
The voice that ca from her mouth made the Great White Wolf falter.
She quickly realized that the change in appearance was only superficial; her dark energy had been replaced by so strange energy she had never encountered before.
This prevented her from tearing open anyone’s chest, leaving her only able to fist-pump against their chests.
"Hmm, very good, it’s almost identical to a monster now,"
Duan Mingyuan nodded his head in satisfaction at his "creation." A bona fide weremonster that not even real monsters could detect any flaws in. If she were to settle on the back mountain of Cloud Sea Academy, she would surely be welcod by all monsters.
"You’ve turned
into The Impure!"
The voice was full of desperate rage, mixed with a hint of crying, as if even her personality had beco sowhat timid.
This transformation was more terrifying than death itself.
Dying like a warrior ant their souls would return to the sanctuary, but The Impure were the lowest, most bottom-rung villagers of the Land of Eternal Night.
The Angel Envoy of the Sun King had transford her from a hero into a lowly commoner, a slave.
She mustered all her strength in a fury and lunged at Duan Mingyuan, but the impact now was utterly unthreatening, and he easily blocked it by raising his right hand and pressing down on her shoulder.
"It seems that you have a huge misconception about ’The Impure,’"
Duan Mingyuan shook his head.
During the process of energy transformation, he also took the opportunity to learn about the term "The Impure."
Take the werewolf kin, for example; in rare cases, they might produce offspring that look extrely similar to humans. Due to their close resemblance to humans, they were given the title "The Impure."
The Void Demons’ hatred for humans made them the lowest social echelon.
"Contrary to what you’ve been led to believe, ’The Impure’ are actually closest to your original form."
