Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 491 - 250: Saint·Deceiving Great Emperor·Show Off! (5400 words)_1

Only Xiang Shan remained, searching through the ruins for two whole days. At first, there were onlookers, but later, everyone grew accustomed to the sight.

"Alas, my lord’s admonitions and teachings have been discarded by the ignorant masses like worn-out shoes! How pitiful, how lamentable..."

Suddenly, a sigh whispered in Xiang Shan’s ear.

He looked up to see a humanoid figure in a gray robe standing amidst the ruins, holding several tattered pages and sighing deeply.

A human?

Xiang Shan was startled and momentarily bewildered. But he quickly realized this was no member of the Human Race. The figure possessed an extremely pure Demonic Qi, purer than that of any demon he had ever encountered. Its purity was so great that even a Pureblood Demon like himself was far from comparable.

Could he be... the origin of all demons?

The thought startled him. He asked tentatively, "And you are?"

"Oh? You can see me?" the old man asked, looking at Xiang Shan with a hint of surprise in his gaze.

"Huh?" Xiang Shan was confused. You’re standing right in front of me. Why wouldn’t I be able to see you? It’s not like I’m blind!

But then he realized that the other demons passing by truly seemed unable to see the old man. Even the way they looked at Xiang Shan had changed, as if wondering why he was talking to thin air.

Could it be... that the stories in the novels are all true? Xiang Shan’s heart surged with excitement. He might have just stumbled upon a fantastic opportunity, just like the old grandpas in the stories!

"HISS... It’s actually the one and only Innate Demon God Body. No wonder..." The old man scrutinized Xiang Shan for a long moment as if he had discovered something, his eyes filling with astonishment.

The Innate Demon God Body? Me? Xiang Shan was stunned. He had never heard of such a constitution; it sounded like a name made up on a whim.

"Indeed, it is you! Although the Innate Demon God Body is a recessive constitution, indistinguishable from an ordinary person before it awakens, I am never mistaken!" The old man’s eyes shone brighter and brighter with excitement. "I have waited for an entire epoch, and I have finally found you! You are the one I’ve been searching for!"

Xiang Shan grew more and more excited as he listened. It’s happening, it’s really happening! Nicholas wasn’t lying! I, this young master, am truly the protagonist of destiny—the fallen genius! This old man before him was definitely a major figure.

Waited for an entire epoch? What does that even mean? How many years is that? Even a Demon Emperor couldn’t live that long!

"Senior, may I ask how I should address you?" Xiang Shan asked, suppressing his excitement.

"Hehe, you’re holding a book I wrote, yet you don’t recognize me?" the old man chuckled, stroking his beard.

"You’re... Nicholas Xiu?" Xiang Shan was so shocked he became incoherent.

The old man chuckled lightly, tilted his head to a forty-five-degree angle toward the sky, and said in a desolate, distant voice, "To be precise, I am Saint·The Main Path·Tokyo Isn’t Hot·Guragas·Nicholas·Xiu!"

Xiang Shan’s brain crashed, his eyes seeing stars.

"Of course, you can also call me Nicholas. A name is merely a label, of no real importance!"

Xiang Shan nodded. He then raised the tattered pages in his hand and said excitedly, "Senior Nicholas, I absolutely love the book you wrote! These stories are so brilliant, and the principles within them are invaluable. It’s clearly the work of a great master!"

He was certain this old man was an unimaginably powerful figure, so he decided to lay on the flattery thick and fast.

Nicholas smiled faintly. "Though I wrote these stories, the principles within... were not of my own creation!"

Xiang Shan was slightly surprised. "Then whose were they?"

Nicholas once again looked up at a forty-five-degree angle. "Have you ever heard of the First Demon Ancestor, the one who split the heavens and earth, supreme above and below, immortal through all ages, and peerless for all eternity?"

Xiang Shan was dumbfounded. Although the name sounds incredibly grand, why do I get the feeling he just made it up on the spot?

"N-no, I have never heard of him!" he said, forcing down the strange feeling in his heart.

"Alas, the glory of the Demonic Path has fallen so low that you demons... don’t even know the origin of your own bloodline!" Nicholas sighed, looking genuinely heartbroken.

"The origin of our bloodline? Senior, could you be mistaken? The bloodline of my Earth Magic Elephant Clan originates from the ancient Power Celestial Demon!" Xiang Shan said earnestly.

Although the Power Celestial Demon’s blood within their clan was now so diluted it couldn’t be thinner, the product of countless generations of interbreeding, it had all but severed any possibility of awakening the Sky Demon Bloodline. But this honor was engraved deep within the spirit of every demon, impossible to forget.

"Hehe, and do you know who created the Power Celestial Demon?" Nicholas asked unhurriedly.

"That..." Xiang Shan was at a loss for words. He’d never heard that the ancient Heavenly Demons needed to be created.

"The Demon Ancestor was the first living being born from Chaos since the dawn of time! Alongside his twin sister, the Immortal Ancestor, they respectively established the Demon Realm Universe and the Immortal Realm Universe, creating the living beings of both worlds! From an ethical standpoint, those Heavenly Demons you are familiar with should call the Demon Ancestor ’Father’!" Nicholas’s words were so shocking that Xiang Shan was left speechless, unable to utter a sound.

"After creating the Demon Realm, the Demon Ancestor and the Immortal Ancestor fought a great war over their conflicting philosophies. Severely weakened, the Demon Ancestor created two Creation Messengers to manage the Demon Realm on his behalf!

"The Demon Ancestor’s true intention was to establish a world where everyone could be like a dragon, where everyone was equal and possessed the right to grow stronger—a world that could blossom with infinite possibilities!

"However, he never imagined that one of the Creation Messengers, Bu Ou, would be blinded by greed and betray his ideals. He coveted the Demon Realm as his private domain. On the surface, he preached equality, but in reality, he exploited and oppressed the lower-class demons, condemning countless races to an eternity of subservience, never able to hold their heads high!"
