[Ding]
[The fusion of body and soul is complete.]
[Integrating the system into the host brain... 10%... 20%... 30%... 100%]
Gu Changsheng's brows furrowed.
[Scan the current world.]
[Scan successful.]
"Who's there? Show yourself!" Gu Changsheng shouted.
[The Demon Harem System is online.]
His brows furrowed deeper. "Demon harem system? What the hell is this?"
[Host, the demon harem system is a gift from the Demon Empress.]
He remembered the female demon from before. "Is she a demon empress?"
[Correct! She is a demon empress, but I don't have detailed information about her.]
He was baffled by the emergence of the system. In his entire life, he had never encountered such a thing. Yet, a woman's voice spoke in his mind now, and she said that she was a gift from the demon empress. "How did the demon empress create you? How did she implant you into my mind?"
[I don't have an answer for that, you can ask her directly when she comes to you, Host.]
He sucked in a deep breath. "Your existence inside me is truly bizarre! What is your name?"
[Host, the system has no name. The demon empress created me specifically to help you become strong, so she will gain a lot of soul power from you.]
"I will name you Gu Ying."
[The system is renamed Gu Ying. Would you like me to show you the system features, Host?]
"Stop calling me host; instead, call me Gu Changsheng."
[Okay, I will start addressing you as Gu Changsheng.]
"Show me the system feature, Ying."

...
He was taken aback when he read his race. "A mixed breed of a lust demon and a blood demon? I've met both demon races in the past, but I've never met their mixed offspring before."
[I don't have an answer for you, Changsheng.]
"It's okay." He looked at his demon rank and recalled everything. "As I recall, the demon race has ten ranks."
[Yes, Changsheng. For a male demon, they are divided into lesser, knight, baron, viscount, earl, marquis, duke, archduke, king, and emperor. For female demons, they are divided into lesser, lady, baroness, viscountess, countess, marchioness, duchess, archduchess, queen, and empress.]
He nodded slightly and scrolled down. "Foundation Establishment: Early Layer. Although it's much lower than my past cultivation, at least I don't need to start from the beginning again. Hmm? Do you have any information about my Devouring Heaven Physique, Ying? I've heard of some special physiques in the past, but I've never heard of mine."
[The Devouring Heaven Physique is a body born from an endless abyss that exists to devour all things. It is like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing spiritual energy and essence from its surroundings. When activated, its owner can devour spiritual energy, attacks, and even parts of other living beings, converting them all into their own power. The more the owner consumes, the stronger their desire becomes, and losing control can turn them into a mindless, devouring beast.]
He sucked in a deep breath after reading the last detail. "The more the owner consumes, the stronger their desires become, and losing control can turn them into a mindless, devouring beast."
[Yes, Changsheng. The Devouring Heaven Physique defies the heavens, and you can cultivate much faster by devouring the power and cultivation of other living beings. If you don't control yourself and use your physique ability carelessly, you will lose control over yourself and turn into a mindless, devouring beast.]
He agreed with her. "Show me my techniques, Ying."
[Yes.]
...
[Qi cultivation techniques.]
1. Qi Absorption Technique.
2. Yin Absorption Technique.
3. Shapeshifting Technique
[Demon cultivation techniques.]
1. Heaven Devouring Demon Technique.
2. Heaven Devouring Demon Body Technique.
3. Lust Demon Technique.
4. Blood Demon Technique.
...
He ignored the qi absorption method because it was the most basic technique for all cultivators. "Yin absorption technique?"
[Changsheng, the yin absorption technique is a method for a male cultivator to draw yin spiritual energy or yin qi from his partner during intercourse to increase his own cultivation.]
He knew about dual cultivation, even though he was not a dual cultivator in the past. He raised an eyebrow when he saw the list of the demon cultivation techniques because in the memories he inherited from the previous body owner, he found no memories of the first two demon techniques, and he suspected that the demon queen gave them to him before. "Show me the details of both techniques, Ying."
[The Heaven Devouring Demon Technique is a forbidden demonic cultivation technique that focuses on devouring everything to become stronger. This technique allows the user to absorb the spiritual energy, blood essence, souls, and even the cultivation of others.]
[The Heaven Devouring Demon Body Technique is a demonic body-refining technique that transforms the cultivator's physique into a life-devouring furnace. It transforms the body itself into something that can endlessly consume and refine energy. Flesh, bones, blood, and meridians are reforged to withstand the immense and chaotic power.]
He nodded several times as he read them both. "These two are complementary techniques to my Devouring Heaven Physique."
[Yes, Changsheng. Although you possess the Devouring Heaven Physique, your body isn't truly strong yet, and you can use the body technique to strengthen it. The technique itself has five stages, and each stage will boost your body, which is divided into skin stage, flesh stage, bones stage, organs stage, and completion stage.]
Gu Ying explained to him the benefits of each stage. "Since this body has never practiced that technique, I have to start from the beginning. But what do I need to train it, Ying?"
[Lots of blood.] He raised an eyebrow. [You can use any kind of blood to train it, including beast blood.]
"In the past, I was a human, so I've never used such a method to improve myself." He looked at his hands, which looked more like demon claws than human hands. "However, I'm a demon now, so I have to get used to my current situation. I have to become stronger and surpass my old self, and I will take revenge on those traitors who killed me and mutilated my body."
[The demon empress gave you the system to help you achieve your goals, but the path she gave you is a demonic path, Changsheng.]
He nodded. "Whether it's the human path, the beast path, or the demonic path, I don't care as long as I can take revenge on them. Show me my relationship, Ying."
