"At birth, human nature is good..."
The following day, in the grand and magnificent front hall of the palace, a young man dressed as a Confucian scholar was loudly reciting the contents of a book.
"At birth, human nature is good..."
Meanwhile, the "primary school students" studying in the private school followed suit, swaying their heads and reciting aloud.
"Human nature is similar, but habits differ greatly..."
"Human nature is similar, but habits differ greatly..."
"If not taught, one's nature will change..."
"If not taught, one's nature will change..."
...
...
The sound of reading aloud was clear and resonant, a truly enlightening experience.
However, the teacher is a human being, but the "elementary school students" reciting in the classroom are all different kinds of people.
There are will-o'-the-wisps floating in the air, a little girl with nine fox tails peeking out, and evil spirits radiating overwhelming wickedness...
However, regardless of their outward appearance, they dared not be the slightest bit presumptuous in front of that one scholar-like teacher, obediently following behind him and reciting the contents of the books that they considered utterly worthless.
Chu Wangyu knew that most of the oddballs present were not focused on their books, but Chu Wangyu didn't care and continued to teach them with great enthusiasm.
Only Chu Wangyu herself knows that her original intention was never to teach them to read and write. The reason she did these things was simply because she was too lonely!
Darkness and solitude surrounded him, yet not a single creature could speak.
Therefore, over the years, when Chu Wangyu was clearing out the monsters around him, if he encountered any aliens with good Aptitude or those that caught his eye, he would use the " spirit opening fluid " he obtained from signing in to awaken their intelligence.
However, although these beings had awakened their intelligence, they lacked the wisdom to match it. Therefore, Chu Wangyu had no choice but to act as their teacher once again.
It was precisely because of the existence of these outcasts that Chu Wangyu was able to patiently endure a thousand years in this dark and sunless place.
However, without realizing it, the number of students he taught had reached 30,000!
Among these 30,000 monsters, there are ten of the strongest The Existence, whom Chu Wangyu calls the " ten elites ".
If it weren't for the fact that the palace obtained by Chu Wangyu through check-in was truly large, it probably wouldn't have been able to accommodate these 30,000 students.
...
...
After school, these oddballs swarmed out as if some ferocious beast was chasing them.
As for Chu Wangyu, she started taking out the ingredients she received from signing in and began preparing lunch.
However, while Chu Wangyu was busy preparing his lunch, the most powerful " ten elites " among the aliens gathered in a secluded place far from the palace to begin their conspiracy.
"When will this ever end? We are monsters, outcasts. In the Demon Abyss, the strong prey on the weak. This is the way of Heavenly Dao. Why should we have to learn those useless books and knowledge?" A Devil Head floating in the air complained first.
"What can we do? If we don't learn that knowledge, the Master will wipe us out! Last time, Honey Badger was too arrogant, thinking she was so strong that she wanted to go toe-to-toe with the Master, and the result was... *slurp*—" The tiger demon couldn't help but slurp, "I didn't expect Honey Badger to be so rough, but the meat... it's amazing, in short, it's delicious!"
"Yes! Yes! The master's cooking is really good! It's just a pity... we can only taste his homemade food when he's in a particularly good mood." The little fox sighed softly with a hint of reminiscence, its nine tails swaying back and forth as it recalled the delicious food.
"You all got to taste the master's cooking, but unfortunately I'm a ghost without a physical body... I can't eat it!" the ghost muttered with some resentment.
Seeing that the conversation had unknowingly veered towards food, Devil Head couldn't help but get furious: "I invited you here to discuss the important matter of getting rid of Mr. [the master], how come all you can only think about eating? Can't you be a little more dignified?"
"How dare you say that? You ate the most back then!" The little fox was furious, still resentful about Devil Head's appetite—how could someone so small force themselves to eat so much food?
"Alright! Alright! Everyone, stop talking!" Just then, the evil spirit, who had been watching from the sidelines, spoke up to stop the commotion among the many other beings.
Many of the other beings gave him face, and once he spoke, none of them dared to speak again.
There was nothing we could do; this demon was the strongest of them all.
Then, the demon looked directly at Devil Head, who had gathered everyone together: "Tell me, what is the purpose of gathering us here? You didn't just gather us here to complain about the master, did you?"
"Of course not!" Devil Head shook his head slightly, and then, after a slight hesitation, he continued, "A while ago, for some reason, some knowledge suddenly appeared in my mind…"
"Some additional knowledge? What kind of knowledge?" the tiger demon asked Dao with some curiosity.
"This... I can't say!" Devil Head shook his head. "The knowledge mentions that it's our clan's Legacy, and it must never be revealed!"
"cut!"
The tiger demon pouted, muttering "Dao" with some displeasure.
"If you can't say, then why did you gather us here? To show off?"
Devil Head shook his head repeatedly: "Of course not! The reason I have gathered everyone here today is because the Legacy knowledge of our race tells me how to leave this Demon Abyss!"
"We can leave Demon Abyss?" The tiger demon was overjoyed. "Doesn't that mean we can break free from Master's control? Why don't we hurry up and get going? Master should be washing vegetables, cooking, and enjoying a delicious meal right now. He won't be paying attention to us. If we don't leave now, when will we?"
"Yes! Yes! If we don't leave now, when will we?"
Seeing the tiger demon agree, the other aliens, who had been itching to act, immediately urged them on impatiently.
The evil spirit glanced at the many agitated beings before reluctantly nodding in agreement.
"But... if we all leave, won't the master be very lonely without us ' ten elites ' by his side?" The little fox blinked her bright eyes and suddenly spoke hesitantly, "Besides, if we all leave, what if the master gets angry and chases after us? Do you think we, with our few little arms and legs, are enough for him to kill us?"
"Little fox, what do you mean by that?" Devil Head stared intently at the little fox with his eerie eyes.
"I was thinking, how about... those of you who want to leave go first? As for those who don't want to leave, you can come back with me to accompany the master after you leave, and we can also plead with him on your behalf to see if we can stop him from chasing you?" the little fox asked Dao tentatively.
"If you're going to leave, then leave together. What kind of logic is that of a deserter? I think you're just trying to tip off the master and get some credit for it, aren't you?" Devil Head sneered, ready to attack the little fox on the spot.
But at that moment, the demon beside him reached out and stopped Devil Head.
Facing the astonished gazes of the many strange beings, the evil spirit gave the little fox a deep look before speaking, "That's good. With you among the ' ten elites ' accompanying the master, he won't be too disheartened. If you put in a good word for us with the master, he might give up the idea of hunting us down!"
"But…" Devil Head wanted to say more, but faced with the demon's unquestionable gaze, Devil Head could only give up and dared not say more.
However, while these outcasts were having a lively discussion, they were unaware that Chu Wangyu, who was washing vegetables and cooking inside the palace, seemed to have pierced through the Void Realm and was looking directly at them.
"Among the 30,000 Devil Heads, the most powerful ' ten elites,' apart from Little Fox, are all ingrates. I'll capture you all and grind you to dust!"
After washing his hands with water, Chu Wangyu prepared to capture the strange creatures.
However, before Chu Wangyu could extend his right hand, a thought flashed through his mind.
"Perhaps... I could let them leave Demon Abyss and scout out the area for me? As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' It doesn't seem like a bad thing to first understand the strength of the creatures outside!"
Thinking this, Chu Wangyu withdrew his right hand, which was about to capture the numerous aliens, and then flicked his finger slightly, creating a... Dao's extremely covert monitoring Magic Array directly penetrated the Void Realm and attached itself to these alien beings.
None of these alien beings were able to detect Chu Wangyu's methods.
After finishing all that, Chu Wangyu started preparing the meal again. However, his eyes, which seemed to see right through the Void Realm, now revealed a rare look of loving kindness.
"On another note, not all of these outcasts are ungrateful. At least the little fox is quite filial. Hmm... the little fox seems to really like braised pork, so let's make a lot today!"
Chu Wangyu pondered this.
"We're here! This is it!"
In a dark place indistinguishable from its surroundings, Devil Head, leading a multitude of aliens in an attempt to escape Demon Abyss, abruptly stopped his head, which was floating forward in the air, and then spoke these words: Dao.
"Is there anything special about this place?" The tiger demon looked around but didn't find anything unusual, so he asked curiously.
Devil Head did not answer, but simply circled the area along a specific flight path. Afterward, ripples began to spread through the space of this dark region.
"Splash"
The first ray of light in a thousand years has arrived in the Demon Abyss, which has never seen the light of day!
As the light expanded, it gradually formed a rectangular light source resembling a portal.
The moment the portal-shaped light source was fully formed, Devil Head rushed inside first.
Following closely behind Devil Head is the Iron-Hearted Tiger Demon.
As for the other creatures, they exchanged glances before quickly entering the light source one by one.
In the end, outside the light source, there was only the little fox, the evil spirit, and a Dog Demon.
"Little fox, are you really not coming with us?" Dog Demon looked at the little fox with reluctance, his eyes full of worry. "At the master's place, not only will you have to learn those extremely difficult and bizarre things every day, but if you displease the master, you might end up like Honey Badger, becoming his dinner table. So… little fox, why don't you come with us?"
"No!" The little fox shook her head. "I want to stay and keep you company, sir. Otherwise, how desolate you would feel if all ten elites left?"
"Little fox…" Dog Demon opened his mouth, but looking at the determined little fox, he ultimately did not continue to persuade him.
Then, Dog Demon turned around and darted into the light source.
After Dog Demon entered the light source, the evil spirit followed closely behind. However, just before stepping into the light source, the evil spirit couldn't resist turning back pleadingly to the little fox and saying, "Dao:
"Take care, and... please try to say good things about us to the master, so he won't come after us even if you can't persuade him, please try to buy us as much time as possible, so... we can have enough time to hide! Little fox... I'm begging you!"
After receiving the little fox's nod of agreement, the evil spirit then broke into the light source.
After all the aliens who wanted to leave had departed from this dark place, the little fox discovered that, apart from herself, none of the remaining nine of the " ten elites " were willing to stay in Demon Abyss.
Gazing at the somewhat desolate and lonely Demon Abyss beside him, the little fox stood there for a long while, lost in thought, before finally flying towards the palace where Chu Wangyu was currently located...
