Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World

In the days following the incident at Lingpogong Railway Station, disputes in the surrounding areas never ceased.

After the attack on the Temple of the Gods, various forces, big and small, also had evil intentions towards the "Abyss Crystal". On the one hand, they pretended to attack the military defenses outside the Spirit Palace, and on the other hand, they sent more people to investigate the whereabouts of the gem openly or secretly.

"There's trouble at the Blackwater River crossing. We don't have enough manpower and I need to go over there to command the battle."

Miaomiao used this reason to temporarily leave Yingli. Binghe was afraid that this demon lord who had lived thousands of years away from home would lose her in the chaotic big city, so she volunteered to stay and act as a guide.

On this day, a man and a demon were strolling in the commercial street of Lingpo Palace. Compared with the scene in Chenzui Valley, the street scene was not particularly luxurious, but it also had a grand and majestic urban aura with tall buildings.

It was a bit like the scene in the Abyss more than a decade before the fall of the Demon Empire, ordinary, cold, without any highlights, and a bit bleak and miserable. There were many abandoned buildings whose uses were unknown, and armies constantly marching through the streets.

They came to a brown tower building with flags of different colors hanging on each floor. Binghe introduced that this building was called the Magic Tower, which was an institution in every city that served the "magic masters".

The new concept of "Demon Tamer" appeared about eight hundred years ago. Although magic is no longer a resource exclusive to the demons and a few powerful people, there are still many people who do not have magical talent. Magic power can play an extraordinary role, and those who possess magic power should have an identity, so this elite group has the function of "controlling magic power", that is, "Demon Tamer".

"Can I go in too?" Ying Li suddenly became interested. He should be a demon controller now, right?

"Of course, this organization does not limit race or nationality. But we can only go to the lower levels, as the levels of the magic tower are divided according to the level of cultivation."

Each major realm is divided into nine minor realms, but the tower has only forty floors. The reason is that a country may not have one powerful Demon Lord. Even if nine more floors are set up for the Demon Lord, they will definitely be left empty.

The main functions of the magic tower are cultivation assessment and magic tamer occupation registration. Cultivation assessment is to test the specific realm of personal cultivation, and occupation registration is to carefully select occupations that match the cultivation method and combat style you are good at under the macro framework of magic tamer, such as magician, stealth, and paladin.

Passing through the black gate guarded by two gargoyles, and entering the first floor of the magic tower, a strong demonic aura hits you in the face. There are six magic wells scattered in the bright marble hall, and the demon controllers sit cross-legged nearby, meditating quietly.

Binghe told Yingli that demon riders were allowed to stay on their floors in the magic tower and practice by using the magic elements emitted by the magic well, but the effect was minimal. Practicing magic was a matter of talent, hard work, and luck.

"I didn't expect that you would practice like this after magic power became popularized?" Ying Li shook his head with a hint of disappointment.

Bing He didn't know how the demons practiced back then, and was a little puzzled by Ying Li's words. If they didn't practice like this, how else could they practice? He could only change the subject:

"Ahem! Almost. I have already registered my profession here. Now I will take you to register."

The application procedure is not complicated. You just need to find the counter staff to fill out the registration form, and then go to the one-person testing room to choose your occupation.

Ying Li did not hide anything. Even though Bing He repeatedly dissuaded him, he still wrote down his identity as the Purple Flower Demon and his name Ying Li. As for his age, he was a little scared.

After experiencing rebirth, it can be said that the age of the previous life no longer belongs to the current body, but now I do have a strong body, so I can't write zero years old, right?

After pondering over this project for a while, Ying Li suddenly asked Bing He, "What age do you think I look like?"

"Huh?" Bing He was stunned again. This Demon Lord always said shocking things.

"Hmm..." Bing He looked up at Ying Li's heroic face and thought for a moment, "About eighteen or nineteen? Early twenty at most!"

"Then I'll write nineteen."

Ying Li casually set an age for himself and started living at the age of nineteen.

Afterwards, a ghoul in a swallowtail uniform led Ying Li into a small room, which contained an armchair, a crystal ball and a large mirror.

The ghoul staff asked Ying Li to sit in a recliner, facing the crystal ball. The ghoul pressed his half-bone, half-rotten flesh palm on the top of the crystal ball, and used magic power to light up the dim sphere.

Ying Li could tell that this was a testing method inherited from the demons. The other party had just opened his bloody mouth and was about to explain the usage in a hoarse voice when the customer in front of him started to operate it.

Ying Li was seen staring at the center of the ball, purple demonic energy gradually rising from his body, and each move of his magic routine appeared in the form of a flame wave in the crystal ball.

These images were first simulated in Ying Li's mind, and a small amount of magic power was output to create the images that appeared in the crystal ball. This was equivalent to practicing the magic skills he currently possessed.

Then, a flame of the same color as the magic power on Ying Li's body ignited in the mirror, and a line of words condensed: Name: Ying Li, Cultivation: Ninth Level of Immortal Weapon, Race: Demon (Purple Flower Demon), Weapon: One-handed Sword (Damaged), Armor: Light Armor, Magic Attribute: Dark, Skills: Unrecognizable, Recommended Occupation: None.

The ghoul was a little surprised, wondering why a newly arrived immortal soldier could be so familiar with test magic. He was even more shocked when he turned his head and looked at the mirror.

Demons, purple flower demons, dark attribute magic, how could this information appear in this day and age? What exactly is this guy in front of me?

"Ying Li saw him looking at himself and then at the mirror, and repeatedly rubbing his sunken eye sockets, and asked in confusion: "Is there any problem?"

"I, I don't know... this, this, this... Purple Flower Demon, are you the Purple Flower Demon? What are you displaying your magic skills for? You can't be..."

Ying Li's face darkened, and he thought for a moment and said, "I am just a demon. This technique is the unique secret of my tribe."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said too much. We in the Magic Tower are not allowed to ask about customers' personal information. Please forgive me."

At that moment, the ghoul seemed to feel an invisible pressure emanating from the other party, which made him subconsciously determine the other party's transcendent identity.

Before leaving, the ghoul asked Ying Li to wait for a moment. He went to get Ying Li a career manual and told him to choose his own career. His situation was too special. The Purple Flower Demons were a race that had been extinct for a thousand years, and the remnants of the demon race had been hiding for many years, resulting in the crystal ball used in the test being unable to accurately identify Ying Li's information.

After the title of Demon Tamer was born, people compiled seven professional branches based on individual differences, including warrior, mage, hunter, priest, assassin, wizard, and knight. Each profession is further divided into several advanced professions.

Whether to advance depends on personal needs and cultivation ability. For example, the explorer Binghe is an ordinary person with low cultivation. He only has qualified melee martial arts, the combat effectiveness of an ordinary soldier in the army, and is good at firearms. He chose the hunter profession and did not advance.

In his previous life, Ying Li was proficient in countless magics and was more than qualified to be a wizard. He could even choose to advance into either a "magician" who was good at a variety of high-damage elemental magics or a "sorcerer" whose methods were mysterious, unpredictable and unexpected.

But he does not have a handy staff or cloth armor robe. He prefers to be a warrior rather than a wise man. The Phantom Sword is also a partner that has accompanied him in two lifetimes. He has also devoted himself to the research of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, and can choose the "Magic Swordsman" among warriors.

I continued reading and found that the priest for medical treatment, the hunter for ranged attack, and the fighter for melee attack were not suitable for me. Although I had dabbled in these fields, I could not muster any interest in them.

Then the wizard is a profession similar to that of a mage but with completely different historical origins and training methods. They come from hidden primitive tribal groups and are good at witchcraft, curses, poison attacks, sacrifices, etc. Orcs, trolls, and tauren have a leading understanding and attainments of this profession in the demon world. As a demon, he is more optimistic about traditional magic.

The "Death Knight" among knights is similar to the magic swordsman, and also involves dark attributes, but a knight needs a good mount and sophisticated weapons and equipment, which he does not have.

Finally, he noticed the "Avenger" among assassins. The light armor he always carried met the basic requirements of an assassin. Moreover, the Eclipse Sword could now be used as a classic assassin's weapon, a dagger. Most importantly, the name of the Avenger attracted him. Isn't it the same as his own mission?

According to reports, the number of "Avengers" is very small, and because of their crazy methods, they are called evil by the world. Their professional philosophy is to complete the goal of revenge at all costs, either paying a price in exchange for the desired power, or plundering the power and resources of others.

The Nether Flame Art practiced by Ying Li perfectly meets the requirements of an avenger. This is a technique that devours external forces, and revenge is his top priority in this life. In order to accumulate the power needed for revenge, he can use any means and pay an equal price for it.

"Ying Li, Demon Clan - Purple Flower Demon, Immortal Soldier Level 9, Assassin - Avenger"

——The Demon Tamer career registration is completed!

After leaving the Demon Tower, Ying Li took the initiative to propose to go to the largest library here. The research that was not completed last night must make some progress today. He must know whether the failure to subdue the Abyss Condensed Crystal was due to his own cultivation problem or the lack of some process.

The library of Lingpo Palace is as tiny as a grain of rice compared to the library of Youyuan in the previous life. The whole building is only two stories high. You can see every corner by standing inside and looking around.

Apparently, the demon clan's subspecies, the ghost clan, didn't value knowledge very much, so there were very few customers inside, and only a handful of people could be seen passing by ten bookshelves.

The cashier sitting at the counter and the cleaning lady in charge of cleaning all looked lazy, lying on the table, leaning against the wall and yawning, while some of them hid in the corner and played with a strange square box called a "mobile phone".

Seeing this scene, Ying Li frowned even more. No wonder the Ghost Alliance was so declining. Bing He suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He could clearly feel the chill emanating from Ying Li behind him. He wondered what had made this demon king unhappy again.

In such a huge library, Ying Li walked through the entire floor and didn't see many books on magic training, combat, or scientific research. All of them were about eating, drinking, and entertainment, and there were even a lot of bad and misleading books that were disgusting to read. In Ying Li's opinion, it was simply a lack of ambition.

"Humph!"

With a dissatisfied snort, Ying Li went straight to the second floor without even saying hello to Bing He who was reading a novel with relish beside him.

There are even fewer readers on this floor, there is no staff, the book collection has been halved, and many bookshelves are empty.

But Ying Li spotted a thick old black-covered book at a glance. On the cover was only the title "Complete Collection of Materials for Demon Tamer Training" and the author's signature: Anli.

The book does have records about Abyss Condensed Crystals. Apart from the fact that its production is rare and it has only been discovered seven times since ancient times, it also introduces the size of each time it was discovered since ancient times. Ying Li found that the piece in his hand was larger than any other before.

It contains a large amount of magic power, but it cannot be directly absorbed during cultivation, nor can it assist in cultivation. The correct way to use it is to process it and then use it as the main material for forging magic tools.

Magic weapons are weapons with magical powers. They use weapons that one is good at using to deal offensive magic damage. They are handy and have amazing destructive power. During their heyday, the demon army was fully armed with magic weapons.

The Eclipse Sword is a powerful magic weapon, and even in its damaged state it should not be underestimated. Ying Li tried to use the Abyss Crystal to reshape the Eclipse Sword, but the qualities of the two are so different that even if he could reshape the appearance, he could not regain the lost power.

Ying Li shook his head and dismissed the idea, but he could create his second magic weapon using this Abyss Crystal.

In his previous life, he had certain forging skills, but they could only be used for swords. As the king of weapons, there were specific requirements for the forging materials of the sword.

The base materials for forging a good sword require high-carbon steel, high-quality iron, and purple gold containing mixed metals. The abyss crystal does not contain any metal, nor is it an ordinary mineral. It is a mixture of pure magic power and soul resentment, and the two are basically incompatible.

Furthermore, for a swordsman, simply increasing the number of swords he holds is equivalent to changing his school of swordsmanship, and he almost has to start all over again in swordsmanship. Ying Li, who is proficient in all kinds of skills, has already learned a lot, and now he just wants to keep things simple.

Afterwards, he browsed through many books on weapon forging and raw material procurement, and learned about his new profession, the Avenger.

As expected, there are very few books on the market that record this profession. They only say that this profession has a high degree of freedom, and in principle does not restrict the choice of weapons and equipment and training methods. It is assigned to assassins who are good at stealth and assassination because their whereabouts are secretive and they are basically invisible, which is similar to the "stealth" and "shadow dancer" among assassins.

After understanding what he wanted to know, Ying Li prepared to go buy some materials that might be useful. As soon as he went downstairs, he found that Bing He had gone somewhere, and there was a burst of noise outside the library.

"My dear guest, please seek shelter as well!"

An orc security guard at the door urged Ying Li, and the pedestrians outside were running away with their heads in their hands as if they were fleeing, and every house had its doors and windows closed.

Ying Li asked in confusion: "What's going on? Why do you want me to take refuge?"

"You don't know this? You are a foreigner, right? Every year at this time, the Iron Blood Alliance launches air strikes on the Ghost Alliance's major cities. Our air defenses are weak and we can only let them slaughter us."

Hearing this, Ying Li couldn't sit still any longer: "Then what do your troops do?"

"Although the Iron Blood Alliance is rooted in the Holy Land, it is rich enough to rival a country and has strong military forces, and is completely unrestricted by the Holy Alliance. Moreover, every time they stop at the right time, they don't cause too much damage. It's not easy for us, the Ghost Alliance, to make trouble in diplomacy. The most important thing is that the country is weak and weak, alas!"

It seems that in today's world, we have fallen into a situation of backwardness and being beaten without any bottom line, and it is a vicious cycle that is difficult to curb.

Binghe should have joined up with Miaomiao or the garrison. They did not want to directly trouble Yingli, the original demon, but if they were met by Yingli, he would never sit idly by.

"Magic Sky Travel" was activated, and Ying Li turned into a wisp of black mist and left the library, rushing towards the outskirts of the city.

Outside the Lingpo Palace railway station which was being rebuilt at this time, a figure wrapped in a black robe flashed into the bustling crowd of construction workers. After finally squeezing through, he was blocked by a group of black-armored knights. Upon seeing them, the man in black hurriedly pulled down his hood. From the slender hands sticking out of the sleeves and the few strands of curly white hair spreading over her neck, it could be seen that she was a woman.

"Stop right there, you bunch of devils! Don't you know what day it is today? Why don't you hand over our spoils?"
