I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything-Chapter 802 - 611: If You Can’t Beat Them, Join Them?_2

But it also allowed these Demon Beasts to finally have a real understanding of their own strength.

With the realization of their own power, ambition began to grow.

This led to internal conflict.

Having discovered their own great potential, everyone wanted to vie for the position of the Demon clan leader...

As a result, the originally united Demon clan instantly split apart.

As internal strife was about to drive both sides to near mutual destruction, in the end, an elder named Sword Wind stepped in to stop it, setting forth an agreement: since their paths diverged, they should each go their separate ways, and thus they dispersed.

However, being fellow lives of the same star, they still needed to support each other, so he came up with a restriction, teaching all Demon clan members... and then imposed it on all of them.

In this way, they could have each other's final back.

Then everyone dispersed, each heading towards their own journey.

"This is the reason for our split."

Xu Lingjun frowned and asked, "Sword Wind? Who is he exactly?"

It's still that same saying, Lu Ye knows all the Demon clan members, but back then she hadn't fully developed intelligence; she only had an understanding of their races and traits, but she didn't have the discernment to identify names or power rankings.

"Sword Wind is one of the elders in our group, he is the oldest by age, with the highest seniority."

"An elder?"

"That's right. You probably didn't think we all gained Creation at the same time, did you?"

Lan Ling said, "At our level, our longevity has increased drastically, especially with the enhancement of Spiritual Qi absorption, so our lifespans are much longer... So, though we are of the same clan, our lifespans are different; I am over 1,300 years old this year, Brother Dadi is over 1,800, and Xue shi is over 2,100 years old..."

"And what about Sword Wind?"

Lan Ling said, "Over 4,000 years old. Back when I was still a little snake, they were already the most powerful beings on Blue Star."

"I see."

Xu Lingjun nodded.

He understood in his heart... it was like cultivation attainment.

Even though they are all Demon clan, among over a hundred Demon clan members, some live long, naturally their strength is greater.

And those who live for a shorter time, their strength is relatively lower.

Their Immortal Tao Cultivators even differentiate into Divine Soul and Inference...

"It seems, I had been too simplistic in my thinking earlier, assuming the strength among you Demon Beasts didn't vary much, but now I see that your lower bound is high, but the upper bound... is much higher than I imagined."

"That's right."

Xu Lingjun asked, "So how many of such level elders are there?"

Lan Ling replied, "There are a total of thirteen."

Xu Lingjun fell silent.

He felt more than a little grateful in his heart.

The strength of these Demon Beasts is much stronger than he imagined.

With only Blue Star, it's likely they couldn't handle such an overwhelming force. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Luckily, he dragged all the surrounding civilizations into this...

With so many helpers, even with thirteen more elders, what of it?

Their chances of victory are very high.

They queried a great many topics... and indeed, Lan Ling answered fearlessly as long as she knew the answer, she would always answer Xu Lingjun truthfully.

For what she didn't know, she shook her head honestly.

The gap in strength between them was too large, trying to lie was something she couldn't possibly hide from Xu Lingjun's eyes.

For more than two hours, she didn't utter a single lie.

After the interrogation ended...

She timidly glanced at Xu Lingjun and asked, "Now... since I've cooperated, can you spare my life?"

Xu Lingjun countered, "Are you afraid of dying?"

"If we weren't afraid of dying, we would have perished alongside Blue Star back then, rather than roamed adrift for so many years."

Lan Ling said softly, "After all these years of wandering... we've only come to know how precious it is to have a home, so upon hearing Blue Star still exists, we didn't hesitate to return, just didn't expect, our former homeland no longer welcomes us."

"It's not that we're unwelcoming you, but those ambitious and still wanting to make Blue Star their backyard, those are the ones we don't welcome!"

Xu Lingjun said, "If you're willing to live on Blue Star peacefully without causing trouble, we're not averse to having you... and don't worry, the Secret Realm is where you once lived, there are still Demon Beasts there, you might even find familiar faces..."

"I can be peaceful and honest."

Lan Ling hurriedly raised her hand and said, "I am very honest."

"On this point, I can vouch for her, she was very well-behaved when she was young, just coiling quietly at my legs... without much trouble-making."

A clear voice suddenly sounded in Lan Ling's ear.

She turned her head...

To see a young girl dressed in emerald green slowly approaching.

Her face was delicate and beautiful, strangely familiar.

"You...you are..."

Lan Ling blinked in shock and said in surprise, "You look familiar to me."

"You'll get to know me over time."

Lu Ye looked at Xu Lingjun.

Xu Lingjun smiled, "With your backing, I'm surely reassured... watch her, don't let her cause trouble; initially, attach a monitoring anklet, wait until the commotion settles down, and the anklet can be removed, then she can live freely as a citizen of Blue Star."

At this point.

He paused.

A sudden thought flashed across his mind, asking, "Lan Ling, do you have a way to contact your fellow clan members?"

Lan Ling honestly replied, "Some I can contact, some I can't."

"Then you can contact those you can and tell them that Blue Star has indeed been reborn, the Spiritual Qi on Blue Star is now extremely strong, but over the years, Blue Star has long established its own government, humans and their former Demon Beast clan mates live peacefully, if they are willing to return, they can live peacefully on this land as Demon Beasts."

Xu Lingjun said, "But the precondition is a love for peace and not causing trouble... if they're ambitious, I don't mind killing them, offering their flesh and blood to nourish Blue Star."

At this, he paused and said, "Of course, there's no rush in this. You can stay here for a while, take your time to see the changes in Blue Star and the Secret Realm, and then decide whether to contact your clan members."

"Alright."

Lan Ling couldn't help but snort, thinking what's good about being captive?

Who would willingly choose to be a captive?

But for now, with her life in someone else's hands, she dared not utter any oppositional words... just obediently followed behind Lu Ye.

Lu Ye affectionately took hold of Lan Ling's hand, leading her out.

Xu Lingjun, on the other hand, couldn't help but secretly feel triumphant... even he hadn't anticipated, just intending to extract some information.

Unexpectedly, he managed to unearth so much unexpected information.

With still a significant number of Demon Beasts remaining, if they could indeed recruit some Demon Beasts, undoubtedly, the pinnacle battle power of Blue Star would see a tremendous boost.

Keep in mind, waiting for humans to reach the level Xu Lingjun has could take a hundred years with few achieving it.

But now.

If they could recruit some Demon Beasts, not only would they weaken the enemy's living force but also significantly increase Blue Star's strength.

Although these Demon Beasts have a high requirement for Spiritual Qi...

But for Xu Lingjun, who has mastered the method of Spirit Stone reproduction, that's hardly a problem.

Xu Lingjun pursed his lips and strode out...

With Lu Ye present, there's no chance of this Lan Ling stirring up trouble.

It's a perfect chance for her to witness the harmonious coexistence within the Secret Realm today.

It's no wonder, after all, what human wouldn't wish for a Symbiotic Demon Beast, living and dying together?

What's the difference between legally marrying more partners to strive together...

With an additional uncompensated comrade for better or for worse, it's no wonder humans warmly favor these Demon Beasts.

By then, perhaps they could recruit a batch of powerful enforcers...

Xu Lingjun had plans to discuss matters thoroughly with Li Jingjun, as, in this respect, her assistance was necessary. Now, many civilizations surely have set up a net around Blue Star's periphery.

To perfectly transport these Demon Beasts back, it would probably entail quite some effort.
