My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit-Chapter 283 - 266: Xue Dili’s Bizarre Adventure

The young general arrived at the Great Demon Beast Forest after a series of space jumps.

He was born in the Interstellar Era, his vision and knowledge cultivated from a young age, and although he had the youthful vigor and temper, his level of insight was no less than anyone else's.

So, he actually looked down upon the Angel's former methods of religious devotion, brainwashing, and atonement.

But now, he suddenly found the religious warriors somewhat relatable. At the very least, he merely disliked them, whereas currently, he wanted to obliterate every single one of them or even fire off a Star-Destroying Cannon to settle things.

However, the greatest contribution of the Angel was her information, including the entire world map.

Her most significant role in this world was suppressing the demon beasts, preventing them from stepping into the center of the continent, and at regular intervals, tallying the number and territories of quasi-5th tier demon beasts across the continent, while giving them a little reminder.

Thus, through the map materialized from the Angel's memories by the Xue Dili, it contained detailed information about each Beast King's territory and their races. Although it was a map from many years ago, the long lifespan of high-tier demon beasts meant there shouldn't be much difference.

The young general's first step was the Flying Dragon Settlement around the volcano in the forest.

He didn't hide his aura at all, and after a few jumps, all the demon beasts along the way became agitated.

And the young general directly teleported to the territory of the Flying Dragon Settlement at the base of the volcano, naturally alarming countless flying dragons to the extreme.

"Flying Dragons, I know you can understand the language of humans in this world." He took out a simultaneous interpreter and said, "I've come to negotiate. I have a way for you to transform into human forms!"

At that moment, a roar echoed from the depths of the Flying Dragon Nest, resounding at the foot of the entire volcano, making all the flying dragons shrink back into their nests.

The young general breathed a sigh of relief. He had gambled correctly, betting that the demon beasts in this world actually longed for transformation.

Due to convergent evolution, they didn't have time to develop intelligence initially, and after being surpassed by humans, they felt troubled, but soon, as more demon beasts developed a bit of intelligence, they naturally realized the importance of intelligence.

Although with their minimal intelligence, they might think "humans are the darlings of nature," it's not that humans are nature's darlings, but that wise civilization is nature's darling.

The young general was going to paint a picture for them, teach them transformation, then tell them, "If humans can be nature's darlings, why can't we?"

"Come in!"

A deep voice came from the depths of the Flying Dragon Nest.

With his hands in his pockets, the young general walked inside.

Here, he saw an incredibly large flying dragon, one that could even be called a giant dragon.

This flying dragon differed from its kin's beast-like habits. It began to learn how to adorn and decorate its nest with metallic minerals and even learned to dig light holes and grow plants in its cave.

"Can you really teach us to transform?" The flying dragon exhaled heavy air currents from its nostrils, but the young general was unfazed.

He continued, with his hands in his pockets, "I'll tell you the method and corresponding manufacturing techniques. You can judge its feasibility yourself. I also have corresponding medicines on hand, at the very least allowing you to transform smoothly into a half-dragon humanoid form without any issue."

A few minutes later, the eyes of the Flying Dragon Queen grew brighter and brighter. She immediately imitated human manners in a rather comical bow, "Thank you for your teachings, sir. May I know your name? There will be great rewards in the future."

The young general was about to state his codename, but felt it was not appropriate. In this world, they all needed to conceal their real names, and even his codename had gained some recognition.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "You can call me Archimedes."

"Okay, Sir Archimedes, I shall now prepare the ritual and materials for transformation. Please help me. If I truly succeed in transforming," the Flying Dragon Queen showed a hint of unease, "I am willing to be at your service."

...

On the other side, Xue Dili was both gathering intelligence with the Angel and writing "Innovation Era."

Books and a quill floated in the air, with the quill automatically documenting Xue Dili's observations in the book.

"Were humans in this world once a race among the demon beasts?" Xue Dili gleaned more detailed world history from the Angel's words.

Humans in this world were once a "Ghost Demon" race among the demon beasts, slowly evolving and growing stronger. Over time, they gradually took on the form of the Venerable King, becoming the largest demon beast group in this world.

Which is essentially the predecessor of later human tribes.

Humans evolved from demon beasts, which is actually understandable.

Just like how Xue Dili's ancestors were scattered rats, surviving underground for billions of years before barely crawling out of the cave to compete for the ecological niche of the Dragon Race.

Hence, the Dragons sometimes still aren't accustomed to calling the Earth humans "Human Race," preferring "Rat Race" or "Rodent."

One wonders what they think while munching on fried chicken.

And the devolved humans and half-beastmen in this world merely regressed into the "Ghost Demon" form of their ancestors, an ancient demon beast resembling giant apes.

"Does losing humanity and wisdom mean losing the Venerable King appearance, regressing to a primitive form?" Xue Dili pondered upon the hypothesis proposed by scientists in the Interstellar Corps.

And this hypothesis has indeed been perfectly validated in this world.

The Heart Stealers establishing the Magic Academy and preserving the seeds of magic is not out of goodwill, but merely to slow down the degeneration of future generations. And the mages and angels are nothing but tools for breeding and improving the degraded lower creatures.

"So the angels were the ones who once assisted the Heart Stealers in overthrowing your noble lineage?" Xue Dili asked.

The Angel remained silent, only nodding her head slightly.

"Ancient noble family, huh." Xue Dili said this seemingly out of nowhere, classifying the sacred people of world nobility with ancient noble families and Kshatriyas.

The record of "Innovation Era" came to an end, and the bathroom door opened. Someone was momentarily stunned upon opening the door, then immediately closed it again, shuffling around for a few minutes before finally emerging from the bathroom, feeling quite embarrassed.

"Sorry, roommate... I really didn't know you were back, I truly apologize..." he stammered, exuding a pleasant fragrance, and looking quite delicate, like a little Nanliang.

"Hmm." Xue Dili silently looked around the dormitory. Although he did not plan to live there, all kinds of amenities were available in the double room, a true aristocratic treatment in this world.

"When does class start?" Xue Dili ignored him and instead asked. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"The Magic Defense Class is in the afternoon, along with the Magic Theory Class." Seeing Xue Dili's demeanor made him momentarily dazed, blushing slightly, and then he quickly added, "Sorry, I piled some junk on your bed, I'll clear it up right away."

He immediately stepped forward, and at the moment of accidentally touching Xue Dili, the Angel inside him suddenly bristled, an intimidating aura exploding from the sharp bone armor, like an evil ghost.

"The scent of a Heart Stealer, it's their scent..." the Angel's voice sounded, wanting to tear apart Xue Dili's Consciousness Space instantly, as if wanting to flay this person alive.

"Calm down." Xue Dili's words came.

Like a Truth-Telling Technique, the Angel's original anger and resentment melted away in an instant, and the sharp bone spikes began to slowly retract.

"Are you a bit calmer?" Xue Dili asked.

The Angel took a deep breath, then became triggered again: "Oh Lord, she has the scent of a Heart Stealer. I am absolutely not mistaken, that's the scent of a Heart Stealer, and of a direct bloodline at that. I can't forget that scent, not in this lifetime. I want to rip her body apart, break her limbs, crush her entirely into a thousand pieces of minced meat!"

"Moreover, she's female, not the outwardly appearing male!"

"I know that." Xue Dili calmly replied, whispering a series of numbers to the Angel, "Measures 77, 57, 78, standard female measurements, no typical male would have such standard pear-shaped dimensions."

Angel: "?"

"When?"

"The moment I first entered, I judged from the shadows in the steam. It's knowledge taught by two preceptors." Xue Dili said.

Which is why he left the dormitory, also finding it interesting.

Once a Heart Stealer possesses a human, the new individual is a fusion, having both the memories of a Heart Stealer and human identity recognition. So, if a Heart Stealer reproduced using a human body, does that mean the Heart Stealer was betrayed?

Is there some kind of cuckold scenario here?

The most interesting part is that shortly after he arrived in this world, the Heart Stealers had arranged for their daughter to be in the same dormitory as him, and it's a girl disguised as a boy.

There's nothing wrong here, Xue Dili thought he would eat his "Innovation Era" right then if there was.

Was he exposed?

If he was exposed, it wouldn't be about placing a daughter next to him. Instead, they would execute a grand Divine Wood burial or attack Xue Dili and the lieutenant with the planet-shattering Death Light through the Divine Wood.

Not providing such a huge flaw with a daughter thrown to approach him.

Although it's uncertain in Heart Stealers' social views, the weight a daughter holds, as long as it's not a negative number, such abstraction shouldn't happen.

Xue Dili closed his eyes and suddenly said, "World Consciousness, you haven't entirely died off, have you?"

The Angel was stunned.

Originally, when the Angel was overshadowed by a Divine Wood maneuver, the authority was stripped, leading them to assume that World Consciousness had completely perished.

Now Xue Dili suddenly stated that World Consciousness had not entirely died.

"Precisely, World Consciousness is not completely dead. Occasionally it even creates little troubles for the Heart Stealers, like choosing a 'Hero' or a 'Protagonist'? Then figuring out a way for the 'Hero' to kill the Demon King and rescue itself. You should actually be considered the first-generation Hero." Xue Dili articulated his speculation.

"And the Heart Stealer is the Demon King, possibly unable to fully eradicate World Consciousness for the time being, only sealing it. So, his method of dealing with 'Heroes' is..." Xue Dili's lips curled slightly, "Corrupting the Hero through his daughter, turning the Hero into his own hound, thereby gaining a powerful subordinate and reducing part of the world's authority."

"And clearly, he noticed my anomaly, but only assumed I'm a new Hero chosen by the World Consciousness."

The Angel was dumbstruck; her rusty mind finally turned a circle and said, "Oh Lord, your extraordinary wisdom astonishes us. When did you discover the issue?"

"The moment I entered, I saw her measurements and confirmed she was a girl. I guessed up to this point."
