Chapter 477: Chapter 266 “88 Talent Abilities” and “Demonic Flame Pool” (Please Subscribe)_1
After Milton Cheney joined Order Seventeen, his understanding of the Demon Tribe deepened.
Within the Demon Tribe, there are a total of eighty-eight Orders.
These Orders can be seen as subtribes within the larger Demon Tribe.
The initial division of Demon Orders was based on the Talent Abilities of demons.
The eighty-eight Orders actually represent the eighty-eight types of Talent Powers demons might possess after completing their second Transformation.
However, this was the original division of Orders.
As the Crimson World developed and grew, many demons with different Talent Abilities emerged within different Orders.
For instance, Order Seventeen, which Milton Cheney has joined.
Initially, Order Seventeen was actually associated with the demon’s ‘Void’ Talent Ability.
But now, that’s completely different.
Within Order Seventeen, demons of all eighty-eight Talents exist.
Having an Order in Demon Island is essentially a form of shelter, even though this shelter is somewhat different from the shelter provided by the Demon Mother River.
After all, the shelter provided by the Demon Mother River doesn’t require demons within it to pay any price.
But the shelter provided by an Order is different.
Even if the master of an Order is mighty and of high status, they are still not above the Demon Mother River.
A master of an Order can perish, but the Demon Mother River will never cease.
After all, the moment the Crimson World was born, the Demon Mother River already existed within it.
Therefore, while enjoying the shelter provided by the Order, Milton Cheney must also unconditionally follow the commands given by the Order.
Of course, Milton Cheney had foreseen this even before he joined the Order.
After all, he knew well that pies don’t just fall from the sky.
Even so, Milton Cheney still chose to join Order Seventeen.
After all, within Demon Island, if one does not choose to join an Order, there’s not even a chance for basic growth and survival.
Milton Cheney is not a native of the Crimson World.
He only reincarnated into this world because of the Reincarnation Simulation.
As to whether he would be subject to control in this world, Milton Cheney really didn’t care too much.
After all, there was nothing on him that was worth plotting for by others.
The masters of the Orders in the Crimson World are all beings on the level of Advanced Demons.
Whether in reality or in this Text Simulation, Milton Cheney was far from reaching such beings.
By the same logic, if such beings wanted to do something to him, Milton Cheney naturally had no power to resist.
Inside the city of Order Seventeen, in the Demonic Flame pool.
Milton Cheney’s demonic body was soaking in the Demonic Flame pool, surrounded by many other demons.
However, these other demons didn’t pay any attention to Milton Cheney, and he did the same.
By now, Milton Cheney had been a member of Order Seventeen for quite some time.
During this time, the Order hadn’t issued any commands to him.
So, Milton Cheney spent nearly all his time here in the Demonic Flame pool.
After all, this is the place where all demons with Demonic Flame Talent within Order Seventeen live.
Staying here long-term is greatly beneficial for the growth of a demonic body.
Of course, these benefits are subtle and gradual.
At least for now, there haven’t been any significant changes to Milton Cheney’s demonic body.
This is normal because after Milton Cheney completed the second Transformation, each subsequent increase in strength required an enormous amount of time.
Milton Cheney was quite aware of this.
When he went through the first and second transformations of his demonic body, Milton Cheney was already aware of this.
However, because he had completely cleared his mind at that time, he did not have to worry about the passage of time.
But now it’s different. Since his arrival at Demon Island until now, Milton Cheney spent most of his time exploring information about this world.
Therefore, Milton Cheney also stopped voluntarily clearing his mind.
As he could clearly sense the passage of time, he could also feel how slow the changes to his body were.
But there was no alternative.
After all, Demon Island is no Demon Mother River.
Inside the Demon Mother River, Milton Cheney could safely clear his mind.
Because he knew that even if he completely cleared his mind, his demonic body would not be in any danger.
But this is clearly not possible on Demon Island, even after joining Order Seventeen.
After all, not all demons within an Order are harmless.
Among the Talent Abilities born after a demon completes its second Transformation, some abilities require consuming other demons.
So, until Milton Cheney has completely understood Order Seventeen, he would not rashly clear his mind.
After all, it takes time to snap out of a state of completely cleared mind.
If demons attacked him during this time, he would be utterly defenseless.
Milton Cheney didn’t want to end this Reincarnation Simulation prematurely, so naturally, he became more prudent in his actions.
But this did not mean that Milton Cheney would completely refrain from entering the state of utter mental void.
That was impossible.
After all, if he wished to evolve again into a higher-level demon, he must still enter the state of voiding his mind.
Because only in that state would the influence of time in this world on him be minimized.
Otherwise, as time passed, Milton Cheney might very well lose himself completely in this world.
After all, the lifespan of a demon’s body is exceedingly long.
The duration of this reincarnation simulation could very likely be the longest reincarnation simulation he had ever experienced.
However, from now on, Milton Cheney would only completely void his mind when he was certain of the situation.
At least at this time, Milton Cheney still had that patience.
Having undergone so many reincarnation simulations, although the worlds of these simulations differed, Milton Cheney still possessed the necessary experience.
If he wished to become a Transcendent in reality, then everything must not be rushed.
Even each simulation was vitally important to Milton Cheney.
After all, no one knew whether the opportunity for him to become a Transcendent lay hidden within one of those simulations.
Milton Cheney thought so too, which is why he had not the slightest intention to actively end any simulation.
Unless he encountered a special circumstance he could not handle, Milton Cheney would never actively end a simulation he had started.
Of course, such special circumstances would almost certainly not exist.
Milton Cheney did not believe he would truly be discovered as a Reincarnation in the midst of a reincarnation simulation.
If he were indeed discovered as a Reincarnation in a future reincarnation simulation,
then Milton Cheney would naturally end that simulation without hesitation and then add that world to his reincarnation blacklist.
“I didn’t expect that I would still need to continue waiting after coming to Demon Island,”
Milton Cheney mused to himself in the heart of the Demonic Flame Pool.
His demon body made no movement, and the other demons around him did the same.
In fact, within the Demonic Flame Pool, Milton Cheney was almost in a very safe condition.
After all, demons able to stay in the Demonic Flame Pool, regardless of their strength, all possessed the Talent Ability of ‘Demonic Flame’.
Milton Cheney and these demons were truly of the same kind; there was no reason for these demons to attack him.
Of course, this was only theoretically the case.
At this time, Milton Cheney was not completely certain either.
After all, none of the demons around him had entered a state of utter mental void.
This meant that not only Milton Cheney,
but the other demons were also guarding against the demons around them.
If Milton Cheney could discern this, then there was no reason the other demons could not.
Since no demon in the Demonic Flame Pool had entered a state of voiding their minds, then naturally, Milton Cheney had no reason to act as the pioneering bird.
Moreover, at this time, Milton Cheney was not in a hurry.
For now, time had not yet had any significant effect on him.
He could not possibly lose himself in this world within a short period.
So at this time, Milton Cheney had not a trace of urgency, as the time had not yet come.
“It’s a pity that as a second-level demon, one cannot have a personal Territory within the order; otherwise, all of these concerns would be unnecessary,”
Milton Cheney mused to himself.
Having joined the order, Milton Cheney could better understand the differences between Advanced Demons and Low-Level Demons.
In this world, after becoming a second-level demon, advancing further is undoubtedly extremely difficult.
This difficulty is not without reason.
It is influenced by the basic rules of this world.
After all, within the Crimson World, the different orders are not at peace with each other.
Beneath the calm, great danger lurks.
Though Milton Cheney had not yet witnessed Order Seventeen engage in a war with other orders,
he was well aware that this was only because he had joined Order Seventeen for a short time.
If Order Seventeen truly went to war with other orders, then as a second-level demon, Milton Cheney would become mere cannon fodder in that war.
There was no helping this.
After all, the weak have no say, a truth that applies in any world.
Under these circumstances, it is incredibly difficult for weak demons to advance.
Of course, actually having an order is already quite advantageous.
After all, wild demons without any order are the real sacrificial pieces in wars.
Having an order still affords one the shelter provided by that order, but wild demons without an order do not even have the most basic protection.
With these thoughts, Milton Cheney chose not to dwell on it any further.
As Milton Cheney’s thoughts shifted, his demon body also leaped out of the Demonic Flame Pool.
