Chapter 472: Chapter 263 “Blessings of the Demon Mother River” and “Demon Island” (Please Subscribe)_2
As for more, Milton could slowly speculate and then slowly verify these speculations.
Actually, in the Crimson World, the Demon Mother River is more like an entity of life.
But it is not a real life form.
With Milton’s current understanding, he could think of the Demon Mother River as an external World Consciousness of the Crimson World.
It could also be said to be the World Consciousness that manifests within the world, one that has existed for a long time.
This World Consciousness is always awake.
Of course, the Crimson World does have its own true World Consciousness.
It’s just that the true World Consciousness of the Crimson World is always in slumber.
Therefore, within the Crimson World, excluding the sleeping World Consciousness, the status of the Demon Mother River is the highest, followed by the leader of the Demon Tribe, the Crimson Great Lord.
Even a Ninth Level Demon couldn’t alter the fundamental rules of the Demon Mother River.
From this point alone, it’s clear that the status of a Ninth Level Demon is also below that of the Demon Mother River.
Of course, it’s also possible that a Ninth Level Demon has the ability but simply hasn’t chosen to modify these basic rules.
This possibility exists as well.
After all, Ninth Level Demons completely surpass Milton’s comprehension.
As for how powerful a Ninth Level Demon really is, what kind of means they possess, Milton simply could not guess.
That realm is still far too distant for him at this time.
Whether in reality or in this Reincarnation Simulation, Milton was still far too distant from that realm.
Therefore, he would not entertain thoughts that were so far out of his reach.
After all, even if he did entertain such thoughts, it was impossible for him to verify them.
“It seems that steadily developing into an Advanced Demon isn’t as simple as I previously thought,”
Milton murmured to himself.
Before experiencing this inheritance of memory, Milton believed he might be able to steadily develop at least to the level of a Fourth Level Demon.
But now, after understanding the fundamental rules of the Demon Mother River, he realized his previous thought was almost impossible.
After all, once he had become a Second Level Demon and completed the second Transformation of his demon body, he must leave the Demon Mother River.
By then, to continue improving as safely and steadily as now would probably not be so easy.
Of course, since this was already an established fact, Milton naturally wouldn’t worry about it.
After all, this world would never operate entirely according to his wishes.
Nor could the rules of this world be entirely guessed by Milton.
If he truly had such power, he would not have chosen to reincarnate into this world.
“That said, I am indeed curious to see this so-called Demon Island,”
Milton mused, a hint of curiosity rising in his heart towards the Demon Island mentioned in these inherited memories.
In all the memories he inherited this time, the memories about Demon Island were the fewest.
But that was precisely what piqued Milton’s curiosity about Demon Island.
After all, he was inevitably going to visit Demon Island.
If he hadn’t visited Demon Island, there would only be one reason – he had not become a Second Level Demon in this world.
Clearly, this possibility was minimal.
It’s not as if a Ninth Level Demon of this world would suddenly strike at him.
And as long as he could become a Second Level Demon in this world and complete the second Transformation, then he was bound to head to this so-called Demon Island.
After all, even if he was reluctant, the Demon Mother River would forcibly exile him.
Milton could not possibly be without any curiosity about Demon Island, where all demons were at least Second Level Demons.
But this thread of curiosity was quickly suppressed by Milton.
At this moment, his understanding of this place he would later visit was very limited.
There was not much he could do about it since a large part of his understanding of this world came from Inherited Memory.
However, even with only a simple consideration, Milton knew that Demon Island was definitely not simple.
After all, all the demons living there were no longer immature; the weakest were Second Level Demons.
Even the only Ninth Level Demon Lord of the Crimson World might be residing on Demon Island.
Of course, none of this was a concern for Milton at the moment.
Now, he had only completed the first transformation of his demonic body, and there was still a considerable distance before he could become a second-level demon and undergo the second transformation of his demonic body.
The span of time required was absolutely very long.
But fortunately, the passage of time in this world had virtually no impact on Milton Cheney.
After all, if he were to truly live for hundreds of thousands of years in the Demon Mother River, even with his numerous simulation experiences, it would hardly be an easy feat.
With this in mind, Milton Cheney stopped thinking about anything.
At that moment, no further thoughts emerged from the depths of Milton Cheney’s heart.
In this moment, Milton Cheney once again completely emptied his consciousness.
This session of Inherited Memory acted as an added layer of insurance for Milton Cheney.
It allowed Milton Cheney to confidently empty his mind, without worrying about any external influences.
After all, with the fundamental rules of the Demon Mother River in place, it was almost impossible for the outside world to have any effect on him.
Unless the sole ninth-level demon of the Crimson World took action.
But the likelihood of a ninth-level demon intervening was probably lower than the chances of Milton Cheney voluntarily ending this Reincarnation Simulation.
After emptying his mind this time, unless his body underwent a significant change,
he would not actively awaken his consciousness.
If nothing unexpected occurred, the time when Milton Cheney fully regained his consciousness would be when he was ready to undergo the second transformation.
Time was inconsequential in the Abyss, but it still relentlessly flowed on.
Having completely emptied his consciousness, Milton Cheney was utterly unaware of the passing of time.
It wasn’t just that; at this point, Milton Cheney also stopped perceiving his surroundings.
His goal at this time was simple: to naturally grow into a second-level demon and then complete the second transformation of the demonic body.
At that moment, Milton Cheney’s mind stirred.
Consciousness began to slowly return.
After regaining consciousness, Milton Cheney subconsciously perceived his surroundings.
Just as he had anticipated, there had hardly been any significant changes in his environment.
At this point, Milton Cheney had no notion of how much time had passed.
But he was very aware that a very long time had passed since he had completely emptied his consciousness.
After all, his demonic body was now at the critical point of undergoing the second transformation.
This was also the reason why Milton Cheney chose to restore his consciousness.
Otherwise, without any unexpected events, Milton Cheney would not have awakened from his state of empty consciousness.
After perceiving his surroundings, Milton Cheney actively sensed the changes in his body.
At this time, the changes Milton Cheney could perceive were already very apparent.
After all, his perceptual ability had evolved twice by now.
Even if placed in the past, Milton Cheney might still have been able to sense the changes in his body.
Even if his perceptual ability were weaker, he could still perceive obvious changes.
As time continued to slowly slip by, Milton Cheney quietly waited.
Finally, at a certain moment, Milton Cheney’s mind stirred.
The second transformation was upon him!
After completing this transformation, he would truly be a second-level demon.
This also meant that if he successfully completed this transformation, he would be leaving the Demon Mother River.
This transformation, just like the first one, was subtle and gradual.
Before Milton Cheney could even feel anything, the transformation had begun.
In the process of his demonic body’s transformation, Milton Cheney only felt comfortable; he had no other sensations.
However, Milton Cheney knew that after this transformation, he might not have it as easy as before.
Finally, the transformation was complete, and the new Inherited Memory appeared as usual.
