My Divine Beasts Are Really Not Evil Gods-Chapter 30: Primordial Fire

Secret Foods are divided into three types. The first is Evolution Secret Food, which can extract the origin of any material to evolve a Pet Beast, like the Void Saintess Fruit that transformed the Little Spider, a supreme miracle.
The second is Sacrificial Secret Food, which can intercept Forbidden Time and historical sacrifices to ancient beings. It is too high-end to be used for now.
The third is Skill Secret Food. By refining special Extraordinary Materials, one can create a Skill Secret Food, which is equivalent to an edible version of a Skill Learning Machine.
However, unlike ordinary Pet Beasts learning new skills, Skill Secret Food doesn't require matching attributes, race, or other factors. One only needs to eat it to obtain the skill, and it even comes with entry-level proficiency.
Although it allows for forced learning, if the attribute difference is too great, it will be exceptionally difficult to increase its proficiency later on.
For example, if an Earth-type Ground-walking Kun learns the Water Gun Skill, its proficiency with Water Gun would still increase very slowly even if it practiced nonstop for two and a half years.
Because it can't even spit water!
If it could talk, it would definitely say with teary eyes:
"This humble servant is incapable of such a feat!"
But with the proficiency template's bonus, if one really forced it to the max level, it might give birth to a peculiar effect, transforming it into the Art of the Great Flood!
An Evolved Water-spouting Kun!
The Skill Secret Food to be created this time was one Lu Yu found in the Secret Food Inheritance. With the 【Ghostface Curse Frog's Cursed Puppet Organ】 as the core prerequisite, it was the most suitable silk-type ability for the Little Spider.
Unlike Evolution Secret Food, which allowed for infinite combinations based on one's imagination, Skill Secret Food was like traditional magic potion crafting, with strict requirements and steps.
Therefore, Lu Yu spent nearly all his savings to buy two auxiliary Extraordinary Materials.
With an excited heart, he peeled off the Sealing Spell. The moment he opened the box, mist scattered out, faint and ethereal, as if opening a refrigerator in the middle of summer, making the temperature feel a few degrees cooler.
On the white silk inside the box, five black feathers were placed on the left, wreathed in a faint, condensed mist that looked mysterious and dark.
This was from a Water-type Pet Beast—the Mist Raven—from the Mist Forest, an Ecological Mystic Realm next to the neighboring Mist City.
Its Racial Potential was Peak Elite. Its appearance was similar to a common raven, entirely black.
It fed on fish and mice, especially loved drinking water, and its feathers had an extremely strong water-storage effect. When flying, it could convert the water into large amounts of mist to conceal itself or confront enemies.
Every year, incidents occurred where travelers got lost after wandering into a Mist Raven's fog, losing their sense of direction.
Some people even thought that the great fog of the Mist Forest might be a Mist Domain released by a powerful Mist Raven, though most people treated this as a joke.
To envelop the entire Mist Forest, which covered several thousand square kilometers, with mist was something not even a Morning Star Rank Overlord Pet Beast could do, let alone a Mist Raven whose potential was only Peak Elite.
However, the Mist Raven's feathers had excellent water-storage properties and were an excellent Water-type Extraordinary Material.
They could be used as a humidifier at home.
The other material was a glass test tube engraved with runes, containing a deep blue liquid that was as brilliant and gorgeous as a legendary soul.
This was the Blood of Spirit World Spider, an Elite Rank Pet Beast unique to the Spirit World's ecology. It spits invisible silk threads to weave traps.
Prey walking on a path might fall into a trap, then be wrapped up, injected with venom, dissolved into liquid, and eaten.
Lu Yu had also gone to great lengths to find a Spirit World Beast Rearing Farm and paid a hefty price just to buy five drops.
After buying the two Extraordinary Materials, his bank card was instantly empty, with only a few thousand yuan left.
"Thankfully, making Skill Secret Food doesn't consume spiritual power, or I'd really be exhausted…"
Lu Yu lamented, then with a thought, the endless Chaos Qi Flow engulfed him, and he once again transformed into the Thousand-Handed Demon God.
Countless streams of Chaos Qi Flow condensed and compressed into a huge Black Furnace, in which a dark-gold flame burned. A single spark from it would be enough to incinerate a world.
But at its very center, it contained a vast amount of Life Energy.
As if… it represented the nurturing of life!
"Was the world born from the burning of fire? The Initial Flame?"
Lu Yu was lost in thought, but he didn't forget his main task.
After all, these things could only be used in the Creator Space and couldn't be taken out.
He then took out a slimy, black lump of flesh from the Material Library.
It was the Ghostface Curse Frog's Mucous Membrane Folds, also known as its vocal cords.
The Ghostface Curse Frog's power came from its voice, spreading Curse Arts through sound as a medium.
Therefore, all its extraordinary characteristics were condensed in these vocal cords. Although not fully developed, its evaluation had reached Two-star Top-grade.
Truly worthy of being the ninth-ranked precious pet beast on the Undead-type Gold Ranking.
In comparison, the other two auxiliary materials were only rated as One-star Top-grade because they were renewable resources.
Lu Yu first threw the 【Ghostface Curse Frog's Cursed Puppet Organ】 into the fire. In this peculiar Flame of Life, the impurities in the black vocal cords were continuously removed, finally turning into a pool of black liquid.
Taking advantage of this moment, he took out the five Mist Raven's Feathers, trimmed them down to exactly 100g with the Chaos Qi Flow, no more, no less, and then threw them in. They instantly transformed into wisps of green smoke that intertwined.
To have its feathers trimmed by the world-annihilating Chaos Qi Flow was the peak moment of a raven's life. It could brag about it for a lifetime.
Finally, he dripped in the five drops of Blood of Spirit World Spider. The three ingredients intertwined and finally condensed into a transparent jelly.
But upon closer inspection, one would find it was formed by countless transparent threads, with a springy, bouncy texture.
And the relevant information was presented before him.
【Skill Secret Food—Spirit Puppet Thread Pudding: Created with a complete Ghostface Curse Frog's Cursed Puppet Organ as the core, by extracting the Curse of the Origin, simultaneously burning 100g of Mist Raven's Feather, and finally integrating five drops of Blood of Spirit World Spider. After consumption, one can obtain the Special-type high-tier skill—Spirit Puppet Thread.
】
Making Skill Secret Food wasn't troublesome; he could have just summoned the Chaos Furnace to refine it in the outside world. This time, he was simply afraid of wasting the materials, so he played it safe first.
Moreover, the description perfectly laid out the recipe. It seemed that as long as one followed the steps, an unprecedented feat could be achieved.
Gaining a skill just by eating something directly crushed all the Skill Learning Machines on the market. He could use this recipe to start a company, get angel investment, marry a princess, and reach the pinnacle of life…
Like hell!
The first step, extracting the Curse of the Origin, was enough to stump 99.
99% of all Material Science Masters.
Stripping the origin was at least a Forbidden-level technique.
Even Lu Yu had to rely on the power of the Thousand-Handed Demon God, but he couldn't possibly reveal this secret.
The startup plan was dead in the womb before it even began.
However, once he became stronger in the future, he could try to simplify the process for some low-level skills and sell them.
Lu Yu felt a little regretful.
Returning to reality, he looked at the Little Spider, who was still nibbling on a cracker, and handed the Skill Secret Food over.
'Ying?'
The Little Spider took the springy jelly, sniffed it with its little nose, then opened its mouth and sucked.
The transparent threads were all sucked into its mouth like a cloud of mist.
There was no earth-shattering phenomenon, only a subtle change in the Little Spider's data panel as a new skill appeared.
【Spirit Puppet Thread】
After Lu Yu finished reading the skill description, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:
"Terrifying to this extent…"
