Chapter 868: Two hells
Old Man Gu opened his eyes wide and pursed his lips, gathering all his concentration for what was to be said next... They had heard a lot about the Great Serpent Empire's soldiers
transforming into fake demi-humans, but he would finally hear about a detailed
transformation process.
"...The first obstacle to the race's upgrading was of course obtaining the blood of a powerful beast, or the blood of Devos the Transcendent in this case. My father and the rest of the pilgrims held a huge veneration ceremony and asked for a small bottle of blood at the end of the ceremony, still afraid that Devos the Transcendent would trample them in a fit of rage."
Sandria continued without stopping, "But to their surprise, Devos the Transcendent didn't get angry, he didn't even complain, and instead of a single bottle, he made a large bowl of ice and poured a not insignificant amount of his blood into it!"
"This..." Old Man Gu raised his eyebrows
"Strange, huh? To this day, we still haven't figured out what Devos the Transcendent is thinking. Our best guess is that the Overlord told or asked Devos the Transcendent something when he met with him, but that's just a guess in the end." Sandra shrugged, "Anyway- With the blood problem solved, Father took out the device and prepared to use..."
"The device consists of three pieces of shackles filled with needles, two for the wrists and one for the neck. After filling them with blood as stated in the manual, my father put on the device and activated it..." She then narrowed her eyebrows slightly, "According to what I heard from the uncles present that day, when the shard entered his body and started pumping, my father screamed so loud that he dropped pieces of ice from the top of the mountain in pain. He then fell and fell into a coma for several days. When he regained consciousness, he was in the form you saw."
"It must have been... a shock..." Old Gu smiled shyly. Waking up to find that you have a dog's head is definitely not an easy thing.
Sandria nodded, "I heard that my father was depressed and went into isolation for a whole month. He only woke up in a body that wasn't his own and felt terrible pain. In addition, he found that all the solid energy foundations in his body had disappeared. It was the fuel that drove the race's upgrading process."
Old Man Gu nodded as he remembered Jabba's condition. Back then, the fuel that drove him to change was the massive explosion he had suppressed within his body. However, in this case of safe transformation, a stable energy source was required. It was only natural that his solid energy foundations would be consumed!
"What brought my father out of his depression that day was that he had become a mortal without a drop of energy, but at the same time, he could live in the harsh conditions of the southern region, even next to the lair! Then he noticed how familiar he was with the surroundings and started cultivating the minor frost law he had obtained in the booklet." Sandria then smiled slightly, "My father rose in levels like a rocket after that day, within a few years he was able to regain his cultivation as a Sage, and then took another step as the first individual to reach the Martial Emperor Realm on our planet!" She continued, "Only when the rest were convinced that what happened to my father was a blessing and not a curse, did they start following suit... One by one, all the people who were in the Pilgrims' Rest Village used the device and turned into werewolves, then some of them returned to the northern side of the abyss and began to convince their families to transform as well, but of course, they had to convince them of who they were first."
"....The original red humans in the northern region were surprised by this *wolf attack* and considered it a disease or demons who came to stir up strife, so most of them did not agree to the transformation, but a number of them believed them and accepted the device..." She raised her left hand and pointed around, "And so it was, although they were unable to convince everyone on the other side to transform, they gained many new companions, a few thousand if I remember, and those few thousand reproduced and gave birth to more werewolves until we filled the southern region."
"...Can I ask how the transformation was done on mortals or weaklings who did not have energy levels?" Old Gu quickly asked.
"The consumption occurred from their lifeblood, but they compensated for this consumption with their rapid cultivating later, and the consumption was also minor to only allow them to transform, so their affinity for the Minor Frost Law became worse than my father and the rest who transformed at the peak of their strength."
"Oh... Another question, how did your father and the rest of the werewolves also have werewolf children?" According to Old Man Gu's knowledge of the Great Serpent Empire, only generals have this ability to reproduce.
Sandra shrugged, "Devos the Transcendent gave us so much blood that we used it until our bodies were completely saturated, so why not give birth to werewolves? In fact, to this day Devos the Transcendent is refilling that blood pool we take to upgrade new people on the other side. I think it's his way of encouraging us."
The old man nodded several times in understanding, "Honestly if I were you and had such an endless supply of blood, I would have converted all the red humans on the other side either by persuasion or force, especially since you need every soldier in a tough war like this."
"let's say we managed to convince them as you say, then what? When will they live? and what will they eat?" Sandra gave a sarcastic laugh
"live where you live, and eat what you eat. It's not like they live in a better place over there!" Old Gu frowned, "Is there something I'm missing here?"
"...You saw the people who were digging in the ground and jumping in before we entered the dome, right?" Sandria smiled, "We are now above a thick layer of ice, and below it is a vast sea, they are now on their way to hunt sea beasts to feed us."
"This...?!" Old Gu jumped in fright, the weather outside was extremely cold and the lighting was almost non-existent, how would the weather be under the ice?! Even he as a veteran emperor wouldn't dare go down to a place like this!
"Most likely half of them won't come back, but that's the way it is here. We have to rely on the few sea beasts for food and clothing." Sandria shook her head and closed her eyes, "And the other side isn't much better either, they rely on the few fierce wild beasts to secure anything edible... Nothing would encourage them to turn into werewolves and come here, and nothing encourages push us to go and live with them, two different worlds, each one harsher than the other, this is Planet Gudah."
