This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered

Listening to Wan Tinggui's speculation, Liang Yi also seemed contemplative and felt that this explanation was quite plausible.

The birth of Innate Divine Beasts has always been filled with various mysteries, but regardless, the Divine Beasts born from the Innate have possessed incredible powers ever since they appeared in the present world.

At the beginning of the First Epoch, when the Innate Divine Beasts were just born, the Human Race had not even invented the Cultivation Method and often worshiped these Divine Beasts as part of their faith.

To skip the long years of cultivation and directly possess unparalleled power, the World Origin is indeed a very reasonable explanation.

"Look at this little one's realm."

Reminded by Wan Tinggui, Liang Yi and Yue Bai came back to their senses and only then noticed that the White Tiger, which had not shown any power just now, had reached the pinnacle of the First Realm after devouring some World Origin.

"This speed, it's really infuriating..."

Yue Bai marveled as she looked down at the White Tiger, which had lain back down in Liang Yi's hands and was sound asleep.

When Cultivators use the World Origin, it's naturally not just a simple matter of absorbing it as food, and the absorption speed for a normal Cultivator is extremely slow, a small cluster can aid in cultivation for a while.

Whether one can break through after absorbing the World Origin still depends on the Cultivator's own accumulation and talent. There will definitely be help, but the effect still depends on the Cultivator themselves.

After all, the World Origin is just a cluster of unconscious energy, even though it can allow Cultivators to see the path forward previously shrouded in fog, grasping the inspiration within still entirely depends on the Cultivator themselves.

"It is indeed a bit terrifying, but this can't be envied at all."

Wan Tinggui nodded indifferently; being able to use the World Origin to help oneself break through is already a fortunate thing, demanding more would seem a bit greedy.

Liang Yi carefully poked the little creature's body, it was warm and soft, quite comfortable.

The well-fed White Tiger then grasped Liang Yi's hand and fell deeply asleep.

"So, how do you guys see this little one? Should we keep it for nurturing until it grows, or should we find a suitable Cultivator for it to possess and hold authority immediately?"

Although this little one was quite cute, Liang Yi still retained his rationality. Asking Wan Tinggui and Yue Bai now was to hear their opinions before making a decision.

As for this little guy recognizing a master, who knows if it's just acting out of fear of death.

"Ah? Brother, are you going to let it transform back into an authority?"

Yue Bai raised her head, her expression somewhat reluctant; she quite liked this Innate Divine Beast, as white as her tail.

"Hmm... This is indeed a difficult decision."

Wan Tinggui's expression was somewhat surprised, but after a thought, he understood why Liang Yi had said this.

Although this little creature's growth rate is astonishing, it's currently not possible to directly utilize it as a combat force on the battlefield, which doesn't have a big impact on the overall situation.

But if they find a suitable Cultivator and combine this with World Origin, a top-level Great Cultivator of at least the Seventh Realm Great Perfection, or even the Eighth Realm, could quickly reemerge.

"If the White Tiger has already appeared, then the Azure Dragon, which has returned to heaven and earth earlier, should also be about to be reborn."

Wan Tinggui's gaze landed on the White Tiger in Liang Yi's hands, and he spoke thoughtfully.

"In this case, I suggest it's better to keep this little one by your side."

"Why?"

Liang Yi was slightly startled; he thought that a more rational person like Wan Tinggui would choose the second option.

"The White Tiger, as an Innate Divine Beast, though on the same level as Innate Divine Objects, I have read in some records that such beings, worshipped by countless, subtly influence the destiny of others."

Wan Tinggui spoke with a serious look in his eyes.

"Destiny?"

Liang Yi solemnly repeated in a low voice.

In fact, whether it was he, his junior sister, Yue Bai, or Wan Tinggui, apart from the exception of old man Ju, every one of them was a person of rich destiny.

At his level, he had long realized that luck and destiny are completely different and should not be compared.

In a sense, destiny is being favored by heaven and earth. To put it simply, it's like being the 'protagonist' where whatever you do feels as if heaven and earth are assisting you; even walking down the road could lead to encountering treasures or secret realms.

Yet, for any cultivator who has reached the Seventh Realm or the Eighth Realm, their experiences could be described as magnificent, each one of them is the 'protagonist' of their own life.

Of course, except for those cultivators who directly cultivate misfortune, who would rather turn into a comet of bad luck.

Therefore, compared to these, cultivators with slightly weaker destiny might find themselves falling into hard times at certain points, losing the smooth progress previously felt in their cultivation journeys.

Liang Yi was of the utmost lucky, his so-called luck, which in lower realms was immensely potent and could be considered his second cheat.

However, as his realm increased, this luck began to imperceptively diminish—after all, picking up gold in the eyes of a mortal holds a different value from a cultivator picking up gold.

Many things that Liang Yi once deemed precious, like the White Tiger Killing Scripture, were unthinkable treasures in his past life, but now seemed average to him, and he was even too lazy to learn them.

And he had only heard about things that could improve one's own destiny in legends.

"Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise; these four divine beasts have been worshipped by the Human Race since ancient times. How dense the power of the Human Race's faith gathered in them is unknown to anyone, and those favored by the divine beasts naturally get tinged with this incredible mystery."

Wan Tinggui reiterated to Liang Yi what he had read in ancient texts.

She herself wasn't very clear about it, as destiny is something no one could completely comprehend, even the diviners of the last epoch who delved deeply into the path of destiny did not manage to fully explain it.

Hearing Wan Tinggui's words, Yue Bai looked at the young White Tiger with amazement, perceiving some of the unique mysteries of an Innate Divine Beast, but was unable to sense anything else.

"Even without considering the aspect of improving destiny, if you can really raise this little one, it'll be beyond comparison with ordinary cultivators."

Wan Tinggui pointed casually at the White Tiger, who was unaware of nearly being recycled by Liang Yi.

"That's true."

Liang Yi agreed with the evaluation that a fully grown White Tiger far surpasses ordinary cultivators.

According to records, all four great divine beasts are not only Ninth Realm Great Perfection existences, but even among those of the same realm, they stand out.

The inherent powers of an Innate Divine Beast, combined with the added power of Human Race's faith, could completely overpower an ordinary Ninth Realm Great Perfection cultivator.

Moreover, Liang Yi estimated that this little one won't even face a bottleneck period at least until it reaches the Ninth Realm.

"It's up to your future performance, if you perform poorly, I might just have to use you as an authority to be upheld."

Liang Yi gently nudged the little White Tiger's nose with his fingertip, pretending to sound fierce.

"Senior brother?"

The weak voice of Youyi arose, instantly drawing Liang Yi's attention.

He casually handed the little White Tiger over to Yue Bai for care, and turned around with concern towards Su Youyi who had just awoken.
