Chapter 29: Innate Full Spiritual Power
"Variable?"
"Yes!" As he said this, the mysterious and profound eyes of the Star Demon God Vashak shone with barely concealed excitement.
"After I introduced Lin Ze's presence into the star disk and restarted the deduction, the demon race's future really changed. Although I still can't see the precise direction, the demon race has indeed deviated from the original ending of decline. This is real!"
The Star Demon God placed his hands on Lin Ze's shoulders, his expression filled with genuine passion.
"Lin Ze, would you consider becoming my successor? Although you aren't from the Star Demon Clan, and it's more difficult for you to learn prophecy, for the future of the demon race, I'm willing to help you grow with everything I've got!"
"Ah—"
Caught off guard by the Star Demon God's sudden offer, Lin Ze was stunned. Even Sidi and the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu hadn't expected this unexpected proposal to take Lin Ze as a disciple.
But before Lin Ze could respond, Sidi stepped forward immediately.
"Lord Vashak, Lin Ze is already my successor. His talent aligns far better with the Law of Lust than with the Art of Prophecy."
As she spoke, Sidi subtly placed herself between Lin Ze and Vashak, as if silently declaring ownership.
Even though she had been shaken at the mention of the God of Judgment Austin Griffin, her instinctive reaction at the thought of Vashak taking Lin Ze away was to shield him.
Vashak looked at Lin Ze behind Sidi and sighed.
"That's true. Since he feeds on lust, your cultivation system does suit him better…"
"Forget it. I can't force your path. You'll have to walk it on your own. Come, little one."
Lin Ze glanced at Sidi. After a moment of hesitation, she lowered the arm that had been guarding him.
He followed Vashak toward the center of the hall.
"Stand in the middle of the star disk."
Lin Ze stepped onto the transparent disk beneath his feet, looking around in amazement.
Rather than a simple disk, it was clearly a vast formation constructed from stellar power.
Once Lin Ze stood in position, Vashak took out an amber, oval-shaped stone from his storage ring.
"Little one, this awakening ceremony may hurt a bit given your age, but if it succeeds, your cultivation speed will far surpass others."
"According to human terminology, a proper awakening requires over 200 points of internal spiritual power and is done through an Awakening Stone, which also minimizes pain. But I can already feel that your physique and meridians are unlike any ordinary human's. Plus, you've been cultivating with Sidi for two years and understand spiritual power operation. What I'm about to do is clear out the impurities in your meridians and fully open them. After this, your cultivation path will be much smoother."
Lin Ze's eyes lit up.
He had been worrying about how to break through as soon as possible. If his cultivation couldn't keep pace, the power in his bloodline might spiral out of control.
"Master Vashak, go ahead! I'm not afraid of pain," Lin Ze said firmly.
Vashak smiled slightly. With a wave of his arm, dozens of Awakening Stones flew out from his storage ring and embedded into the formation around the star disk.
Bang!
The Awakening Stones all burst apart, transforming into pure spiritual energy that resembled stardust. It surrounded Lin Ze's body and began to flow inward.
At the same time, the star disk began rotating rapidly, releasing a silver-white radiance.
Lin Ze had braced himself for pain—but surprisingly, as the spiritual energy surged into his body, it felt comfortable, even soothing.
The power surged through his meridians—smoothly, without obstruction.
Seeing this, a halo like starlight flashed in Vashak's deep eyes.
"This child… all twelve of his meridians are fully opened. No wonder it's flowing so freely."
He was visibly shocked.
Normally, human children didn't fully develop their meridians until around age eight—and even then, they were often riddled with impurities. But Lin Ze was only seven… and his body had almost no impurities at all.
If Lin Ze underwent awakening at age seven, Vashak could hardly imagine what kind of monster-level talent he was looking at.
This boy was practically a natural-born cultivation vessel!
Suppressing his excitement, Vashak continued, "Little one, I'm going to begin the next step. Relax your body."
After Lin Ze nodded, Vashak activated the star disk again. Lin Ze's body rose slowly into the air.
Ten transparent, diamond-shaped crystals appeared around him.
"Feel for the element you have the highest affinity with in your spiritual power."
Lin Ze nodded and closed his eyes, entering a meditative state.
He suddenly found himself floating above a serene, crystal-clear ocean.
The water below was so still and reflective that he could see himself mirrored in it. Lin Ze instinctively reached out to touch the surface.
But the moment his fingertips touched the water, the clear surface was instantly stained with dark ink.
Dark clouds surged across the sky. Thunder rumbled. Lightning split the heavens.
The reflection in the water shifted—and gradually, it transformed into the Hongmeng beast "Taotie" Lin Ze had seen before!
"This… is me?"
Amidst the chaotic storm overhead, Lin Ze's expression remained calm. He stared fixedly at the reflection beneath the sea—Taotie.
But then, the Taotie began to change.
It took on a human form—identical to Lin Ze in appearance. The only differences were in the details: this version of Lin Ze was cloaked in black-and-white Taotie-patterned armor, had silver hair, and golden eyes. He exuded an aura of darkness, yet looked eerily handsome.
From within the rolling clouds above, a massive shadow—a towering figure 10,000 meters tall—began to take shape…
While Lin Ze was immersed in this vision—
—outside, Vashak, Feng Xiu, and Sidi were all utterly stunned.
A dark and terrifying spiritual pressure surged outward from Lin Ze's body, instantly enveloping the entire Star Demon God's Secret Realm.
The ten floating diamond crystals that had surrounded him now glowed with pitch-black light, so dense it seemed to swallow the very light around them.
