Chad looked at Imperious in confusion. "You said that Evergrow is good stuff?""Of course! With Evergrow, beings like us, covered in fur and horns, can transform our bodies into human forms!" Imperious said proudly, explaining how non-humans could transform into humans."Evergrow, to put it simply, is formed from the remains of dead humans. As long as people die, Evergrow will continue to grow. When animals with power consume Evergrow, they can use their bodies to transform into human forms."That was the first time Chad had heard that explanation, realizing that the emergence of Evergrow was related to humans. "Do you know why we can't transform into humans anymore? There's a saying that after the founding of the country, creatures could no longer become spirits? It's actually the same reason."Imperious opened up and started talking about why the animals could not transform anymore."Essentially, it's because humans have eliminated Evergrow through various methods. For instance,
"All creatures in the world live and die. Yggdrasil thrives on death. As long as death exists, Yggdrasil will not wither. The soil that allows Yggdrasil to grow is Evergrow, formed from various deceased creatures' remains."Chad was stunned. That explanation differed slightly from what Imperious had told him. "Thank you for the information, but I have a reason that I must go there."Seeing that Chad was determined, the giant stepped aside and said, while shaking its head. "Stop when you see the soil turning black-brown because that's Evergrow."Chad was surprised that the giant knew his intentions. As he walked further, he heard the giant lament behind him, "Another one going to his death. People come seeking Evergrow, believing it to be a divine substance, but few ever return."Ignoring the giant, Chad quickened his pace. As the giant had said, the soil gradually turned black-brown.He stopped and scooped up a handful of soil before activating his Clairvoyant Eye to examine it.
Chad looked at the writhing, black, viscous substance on the ground, shocked.He had not realized he was infected. Why had the Evergrow been expelled from his body after using the fire folk's breathing technique?Imperious saw the Evergrow. He treated it like a treasure and quickly scooped it into a bottle. "With this, the Weasel family can produce a true demon!"Chad asked in confusion, "Can this really allow a guardian immortal to transform into a human?""A demon, not a human. It will transform a beast into a bipedal demon!" Imperious explained excitedly, playing with the bottle and sighing with emotion. "The times are changing. This era is finally ending, and a new one is beginning."Chad did not understand it and did not want to. He urgently needed to solve the Long family's problem, so he quickly left the bunker. As he ascended, he saw that the underground villa was bustling with activity.The women of the Inkwell Clan had returned and were excitedly sharing their purchases
In all honesty, Chad was not sure if the fire folk's breathing technique could cure Michael, so he agreed to Imperious's proposal. "Then I'll leave it to you!""No problem!" Imperious grinned as he pushed the door open and entered the room. "Kid, lend me that sword of yours!"Without hesitation, Chad summoned the Frost Peony and handed it to Imperious.Imperious nonchalantly kicked Michael awake. Michael, then beast-like, growled furiously upon seeing Imperious and struggled to stand but was securely restrained.Imperious pressed a strange-looking device against Michael's head. After fiddling with a switch, the device emitted sparks before glowing steadily.The apparatus resembled a specially made bulb but was used like a cupping device.Roar! Roar!As the device activated, Michael became increasingly agitated, thrashing violently. He soon broke free from his bonds and lunged at Imperious."Be careful!" Chad instinctively shouted. Imperious, partly transformed into a yellow-fur
"I feel comfortable, and my illness seems to be gone. My body feels even better than before. How is this possible?" Michael stood up, moving his body and feeling the significant changes with astonishment.Chad watched him, feeling puzzled as well. He did not understand how Michael's injuries had healed."Michael, you're healed!" Frederick was the first to wake up. He was overwhelmed with joy when he saw Michael restored to normal."Brother, I'm fine now. I'm sorry for making you worry.""That's all that matters. The crisis for the Long family is finally over!" Frederick wept with relief. He had been terrified because the Long family's treasure appraisal event was scheduled in a few days.That event was crucial for Michael to network and build connections. If Michael's illness had not been cured, the news could have led to the Long family's collapse overnight.With that crisis averted, Frederick could breathe easily and focus on the event.After that, Frederick turned to Chad and
Matilda argued with them heatedly, followed by Fifi and Cynthia.The leader of the Inkwell Clan assassins was a beautiful and mature woman. If Chad remembered correctly, her name was Guyere."You're Dr. Jennings's ex-wife. Aren't you meddling too much? And we're following Dr. Jennings of our own free will. He hasn't forced us to do anything. "Furthermore, there are so many of us, and we don't compete with each other. We're willing to serve one man together, so how is it any of your business?""You, you, you..."Matilda did not expect Guyere to say that, and the others even agreed with her.Matilda was about to go crazy. She never thought Chad would have such a way with women!Cynthia's eyes were wide open. "Fifi, what secret method did Chad use to make these women so devoted to him?"Fifi's smile was vicious and cold. She gritted her teeth as she said, "I'd like to know, too!"However, the tone in which she said it made it sound like she wanted to swallow Chad whole.Seeing
"Cynthia, please don't make fun of me. They are not my harem. They were my patients."Chad smiled bitterly and explained the origins of the Inkwell Clan assassins, finally looking at Cynthia with a wry smile."They're ruthless assassins, not what you think."Cynthia's eyes lit up as she listened and suddenly laughed cheerfully."So, they currently have no jobs or income sources, right?"Chad nodded helplessly, and Cynthia's smile grew even brighter."That's easy then, leave it to me! I'll explain things to Matilda and Fifi, or else you'll be in serious trouble today!"Chad could not help but shiver at Cynthia's reminder.However, Chad still felt uneasy and wanted to confirm with Cynthia. "How do you plan to help them?""Matilda's Skywood Group is currently being established, so let them work there!" Cynthia said, glancing toward the villa in the backyard with a teasing smile."They're skilled assassins, so if we encounter difficult clients, we won't have to worry about our pe
Chad quickly understood that principle after thinking about it.After thoroughly studying the set of cupping devices, he also confirmed his thoughts."What should I do now?"Chad was in a bind. In Grayson's last call, he clearly stated that it was only a matter of time before those things above the sky would make a comeback."I know there's still three years left, so I've been preparing. Yggdrasil reaching the sky won't benefit this world, but you must understand that only magic can defeat magic, and this applies to Evergrow as well."Chad did not understand it. He asked, "What do you mean by that?"Imperious shut his mouth, smiled mysteriously, and wandered off into the depths of the air raid shelter.Chad followed suit and saw him open the iron door at the end of the shelter. Outside the iron door, there was a swarm of yellow-skinned creatures.All of them had white fur and yellow skin.After handing over all the collected Evergrow to those yellow creatures, Imperious said t
