Chapter 35: Ecological Master!

Even though Lu Yu knew that everything in this world could develop a spirit, he felt very conflicted when the Eye of Truth told him that the wardrobe in front of him was a succubus.

If it had to be described, it was like the sound of a snap – a dream shattered!

White-haired and red-eyed succubi, proud pink-haired succubi, black-haired sexy elder sister succubi… all of his memories were completely and utterly destroyed.

What remained was just a big wooden wardrobe, with its belly hiding a bunch of root tentacles.

Is this what the succubi of this world all look like – so strangely shaped?

Seemingly perceiving Lu Yu’s thoughts, the succubus wardrobe named Lilith slowly descended onto the carpet, and a seductive voice rang out:

“Dear, it’s quite impolite to look at a lady with such a skeptical eye!”

The voice was lazy, making Lu Yu feel as if he saw a redhead beauty in a black low-cut evening dress, holding a lady’s cigarette, and suddenly pulling at his collar to draw him in as she approached.

Before he could savor the elegant rose fragrance that hit him, he was grabbed by the “older sister,” who whispered sweet lessons of life in his ear, making it hard for anyone not to succumb.

Just by the voice alone, it was tantalizing.

But in a blink, it was just a wardrobe!

A person should not—

At least they shouldn’t…

“Sorry!” Lu Yu promptly apologized and explained, “I was just dazzled by your remarkable… miraculously charming appearance for the first time I saw you!”

When it comes to winning over anyone, let alone a woman, compliments are far more effective than apologies.

“Giggle… Dear, you’re so sweet-spoken, I really want to embrace and cherish you in my belly. Of course, I will control myself so as not to digest you.”

Lilith laughed, the wardrobe quivering wildly, speaking words that sent chills down the spine and then continued:

“In fact, you don’t need to be too surprised. You should have learned in class that in this world, all things can develop a spirit, but not all environments are naturally occurring, right?”

Lu Yu nodded and responded, “Because some top beings are like embodiments of natural disasters, they can radiate their power over an area, forcefully altering the environment. For example, exploding volcanoes, ever-frosting tundras, and other spectacular phenomena that contain extraordinary power. The powerful ones can even produce spatial barriers, separating them from the world and so they are known as ecological secrets.”

Lilith glanced at him with her true Cardilan love-filled eyes and chuckled, “Good child, you remember your knowledge points well. Because of high-energy radiation, various plants, secret treasures, and even some transcendent beings in secrets may change their form of life.

For example, water wolves that live near streams have the ability to manipulate water flow and enjoy moist and cool environments. But if they enter a magma-type ecological secret, most will be scorched to death due to high temperatures.

However, there are no absolutes. Under the strong will to survive, there will be some lucky ones. Their own spirit absorbs the high-energy radiation, giving birth to special transcendent organs, turning them into [Boiling Water Wolves] with red hair that can spew hot water, and they are also able to multiply and live under the dominion of the secret’s master.

During this process, they yearn to live, and these powerful lives are not also using the power of [Domain] to select family suitable for their own territory?

And those that can erode the present world and condense their own [Domain], those natural disasters, are known as [Ecological Masters], implying they are… the sovereigns at the pinnacle of the ecological niche.”

Ecological Master!

Lu Yu was surprised, hearing this term for the first time.

He knew about water wolves and Boiling Water Wolves. Initially, humans believed this was just a special evolutionary form until modern science developed and scholars dissected Boiling Water Wolves to study their genes, discovering they were highly similar to original water wolves, and their species potential was not enhanced.

It was finally determined to be the adaptive transformation of transcendent beings to different harsh environments, possessing different attributes.

This is all content from textbooks, officially compiled teaching materials.

However, Lilith was now telling him that this transformation is not entirely due to natural environmental influences; some of it is due to the active erosion of [Ecological Masters], creating their own followers.

This ability is similar to the high-dimensional corruption of a wicked god, just more gentle – failure means death, rather than being turned into some strangely shaped thing.

“This effect… Little Spider seems to have it too…”

Lu Yu immediately thought of Little Spider’s void mother nest, which possesses abilities to devour and create slave beasts. If one day its power is strong enough, perhaps it too will become one of the [Ecological Masters].

With one thought, it radiates across the earth, twisting countless creatures into puppets groveling at its feet.

But Lu Yu quickly found a problem: after changing, the Boiling Water Wolves remain wolves, just with different attributes and appearances.

This wardrobe in front of him, according to the Eye of Truth, was originally just a regular wardrobe and has nothing to do with succubi – they are two different species!

This is not about transformation,

But is about transmutation, creating life!

“Why wouldn’t there be differences in levels among Ecological Masters? The powers held by masters of different levels are utterly different. The weak can only rewrite the surrounding environment, while the strong can rewrite a nation or even a realm. And above [Domain] is true words, and above true words are laws, held by the supreme kings of this world.”

Without waiting for Lu Yu to respond, Lilith preempted with an answer, changing from her previous irreverence to a tone of reverence:

“And I, Lilith·Alice……sta, am a pure-blooded succubus born under the supreme laws of a [King].”

Kings!

Supreme laws!

Lu Yu’s pupils shrank as if he had glimpsed just the tip of the iceberg in this vast world.

Among humans, naturally, there exist [Kings]. The Supreme Council is also known as the Council of Kings, formed by beast masters known as “kings.”

He had thought it was just an honorific title, but it additionally symbolizes powers like transmutation and creation of life, true transcendence into sainthood!

It seems the background of the student council president is much more significant than he imagined; able to take items from the succubus nest and even domesticating them at home.

They must be from a powerful family among the human race.

After all, only humans can awaken the Pet Beast Space!

It took a while for Lu Yu to come back to reality, and he had one last question:

“So what is the ecological influence of humans?”

All Ecological Masters have [Domain], and kings have laws that enable Lilith to change from a wardrobe into a succubus. So what power does humanity, one of the top species, possess?

It definitely cannot be the Pet Beast Space, because that is a miracle bestowed by Mother River. Also, since every person’s awakened talent is different, it doesn’t seem like a fixed erosion of [Domain].

Besides that, humans don’t seem to have any special abilities. Moreover, considering that the textbooks have edited out [Ecological Master] and the content is vaguely introduced, and Luo Qingyue mentioned a lot of history missing,

Is it truly buried in the past or deliberately concealed?

“What a smart child, I’m growing fonder of you. But I can only say that you’ve been well protected in the ivory tower; knowing too soon is not a good thing…” Lilith turned cryptic, her heart-shaped eyes slyly grinning: “But if you are willing to become my man, I can tell you the answer. If you’re not used to a girl taking the initiative, you can also call me master, Master. Lilith wants to be whipped by you at will……”

Before she could finish, she was suddenly kicked to the ground by the silent Red Moon Dream, who then calmly said to Lu Yu,

“You’ll understand once you’ve left the human ecological realm in the future.”

Leave the human ecological realm?

Lu Yu pondered with intense curiosity.

The Lilith who was kicked to the floor saw Red Moon Dream dismantling her platform, quickly flapped her wings to stand up, and with resentful eyes said, “Little Mengmeng, you’re too mean. How can you attack without saying anything? Do you remember? When you were little, you were a crybaby. Whenever you felt upset, you liked to hide in my wardrobe and wipe your tears. It was all me who comforted you…”

“I forgot.” Red Moon Dream replied without sentiment and then said, “Stop messing around, he needs your help.”

“Of course I know, I even know that he’s been targeted by some things. That’s why I’m here to see him on your behalf. But if you want me to take action, the price is not low. Handsome boy, what can you offer in return?”

The aggrieved tone in Lilith’s voice instantly vanished, replaced by a playful laugh, high and mighty. At this moment, she truly resembled a demon who enjoyed beguiling people’s hearts.

Red Moon Dream wanted to speak, but Lu Yu stopped her with a shake of his head, indicating he could handle it.

Seeing this, Lilith didn’t care. Although Lu Yu had potential, through their chat, it was clear he didn’t know much, a probable indication of an ordinary background, unlikely to offer anything significant.

As for him – despite being handsome, even more so than some male succubi, and she was also tempted… if he dared suggest it, she guessed she might get turned into firewood by Little Mengmeng come evening.

After all, he was the only man who could approach Red Moon Dream, even the three sisters.

His value was immense!

Thus, Lilith’s real purpose was to make Lu Yu owe her a favor by not being able to offer anything of value, which could be of great use in the future.

Therefore, whatever secret knowledge or items Lu Yu mentioned, she would reject or express disinterest.

Moreover, with Lilith’s insight, there was hardly anything that could tempt her without lying.

This human,

He was already under her grasp!

She was just waiting to see his helpless expression, oh, how she looked forward to it…

Boys, you must protect yourselves out there!

“How about it? Sister here has lived as a scholar for over a hundred years, the long years have allowed me to master the secrets of the ritualist profession, and many old knowledge. Even some people stronger than me might not know as much. And you, only need to offer your body or… ”

Just when Lilith was indulging in her pride, Lu Yu suddenly interjected,

“The method to evolve the Abyssal Demon Eye into the Eyes of the Tyrant – is that enough?”

“What!?”
