The system did not give Ye Yu much time to think.
Soon, a familiar and powerful suction force appeared.
Everything around him began to blur and become unreal.
[Age 0, Ye Yu was born inside Yingning Mountain in the Demon Realm.]
[Looking up at the three suns in the sky, each with a different color...]
[Well, let’s just call them suns for now.]
[Ye Yu fell into deep thought.]
[Is this truly the Demon Realm? It’s his first time coming to this place.]
[Before, the most demons he had encountered were only from the Southern Barbarian Continent.]
[He didn’t know what exactly distinguished these two places.]
[Huh, wait, what is this thing?]
[No way, it’s a tail! And a golden, furry one at that!]
[Age 3, Ye Yu had gradually accepted his identity — a macaque.]
[This identity card was not bad; after all, at least he belonged to the same species as the Great Sage.]
[Although there were notable differences, standing side by side they still looked somewhat similar.]
[Let’s just say it fulfilled a childhood dream.]
[Only, this golden fur was a bit too flashy.]
[Looking like some kind of trendy style reborn.]
[Of course, none of that really mattered.]
[After all, once demons cultivate to a certain level, they can transform their forms, and Ye Yu would still be Ye Yu.]
[Only in the early stages could he only jump around.]
[Besides that, Ye Yu also learned about the situation around him.]
[The Demon Realm, like the Demon World, from Qi Refining Realm up to Demon Emperor Realm, all exist within the same world.]
(Can’t say I’m padding here, right? At least I have to write down the demon cultivation realms! Early stages from Qi Refining to Ascension Realm are the same as the mortal world, no changes.
After Ascension Realm, from low to high are: Demon Immortal, Mysterious Demon, Earth Demon, Heavenly Demon, Golden Demon, Demon Lord, Demon King, Demon Emperor.)
[However, the truly powerful great demons all occupy the resource-rich areas.]
[Mount Yingning, being resource-poor, usually only harbors demons below Ascension Realm.]
[Currently, the Demon King here is a mid-Tribulation-stage Bear Demon.]
[And his own parents serve under that Demon King as demon soldiers.]
[His father’s name was Ye Chuang, late Golden Core Realm.]
[His mother’s name was Lü Hongying, early Golden Core Realm.]
[Though their status and cultivation were not high, they treated Ye Yu well, often doing everything possible to get him fresh, tasty bananas.]
[Funny enough, the bananas in the Demon Realm were actually quite delicious!]
[Well, Ye Yu also did not deny that this was related to his species.]
Ahem, to put it bluntly, it’s a bit boring.*
[Age 10, Ye Yu received his first cultivation manual in the Demon Realm.]
[It was a gift from his father Ye Chuang.]
[They even held a solemn ceremony.]
[This was not just for show — in the Demon Realm, turning 10 meant adulthood.]
[Ambitious demons would leave their parents that year to venture the Demon Realm alone.]
[Of course, some demons would cling to their parents.]
[Usually for two reasons.]
[First, the parents have such strong resources that the demon doesn’t need to go out seeking opportunities.]
[Staying obediently with the parents meant enjoying endless resources.]
[Usually only famous Demon Kings and ancient demon clans could afford such luxury.]
[Pure second-generation demon style.]
[Most demons couldn’t compare — it’s demons competing against demons, to irritate others!]
[Second, demons without talent or who cannot cultivate would obediently stay with their parents.]
[Just hoping to survive.]
[Of course, this was despised among demons in a strong-survival-of-the-fittest realm.]
[Only those forced into a corner chose this path.]
[Currently, Ye Yu’s situation was decent; his dream cultivation talent was quite outstanding.]
[He was fully qualified to go out and adventure.]
[So Ye Chuang and Lü Hongying strongly supported Ye Yu’s departure.]
[They spent demon stones accumulated for hundreds of years to buy him a cultivation manual they thought decent.]
[Hoping he would one day soar to the sky.]
[Faced with this unique demon custom, Ye Yu did not refuse.]
[He took the cultivation manual and, under the expectant gaze of his parents, swaggered out of Yingning Mountain.]
[Age 15, Ye Yu reached the late Qi Refining Realm.]
[No constant lucky encounters, no masters passing down skills, no beautiful demons throwing themselves at him — all fantasy.]
[In five years of wandering, he never encountered any of that once.]
[But he hadn’t been idle.]
[At least he found a way to make a living.]
[At a place called Juliang Mountain, doing a very common demon job.]
[A lackey!]
[Yeah, this adjective is not niche; rather, it gives many low-level demons a sense of camaraderie.]
[After all, who among non-second-generation demons hasn’t been a lackey in their youth?]
[There’s a saying: humble origins are no shame...]
[Of course, the reason Ye Yu’s cultivation didn’t improve much over this time was clear.]
[He never used ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) the dream talent in this dream.]
[Instead, he was always pondering the danger of this dream talent.]
[Once auto cultivation started, his body would be completely out of control; if he made a wrong move and angered a great Demon King, he’d be instantly crushed to pieces.]
[So Ye Yu hesitated on how to perfectly avoid such risks.]
[After a long study, he finally reached a conclusion.]
[That is, damn it, just live!]
[No matter how careful the plan is, there will be loopholes, so don’t overthink.]
[Two strokes and a vertical — just do it!]
[At worst, this dream ends and he starts over; what’s there to fear!]
[With this resolve, on a dark, windy night, Ye Yu left Juliang Mountain alone.]
[After confirming no demons existed within ten miles around,]
[He started using the dream talent — auto cultivation!]
[The moment he activated it,]
[Ye Yu felt his body suddenly lighten, then enter a soul-out-of-body mode.]
[The feeling was familiar, just like the previous five dreams.]
[Entering spectator mode.]
[Honestly, after adapting to full control, switching back to this mode was quite uncomfortable!]
[After starting auto cultivation, his body quickly reacted.]
[Under Ye Yu’s watchful eyes, he began running wildly forward!]
