2024-12-11 01:14:10"Umm?"
As though the blurry figure had just awakened from a long deep slumber, he glanced around in a daze. Suddenly, his hands froze mid-air, and he stood up abruptly. Then, raising his head, he fixed his gaze on the distant sky.
Due to the indistinct nature of his form, the expressions on his face and the light in his eyes were obscured. Still, as he stared into the distant sky, he let out a deep sigh and muttered, "Someone has been chosen by the Golden Dragon's Pearl. What changes will he bring to this world?"
Muttering to himself, he waved his hand and called out in a powerful voice, "Awaken, my subordinates. Head to the south and find the one who has been chosen by the Golden Dragon's Pearl. Since 'someone' has been selected to become the successor of the Golden Dragon, he must come to the Mystery Island and inherit the legacy left behind by my Godfather."
The moment he said those words, the gentle breeze in the void intensified, transforming into a fierce gust. In an instant, the sky darkened as ominous black clouds gathered overhead, and thunder began to rumble ominously.
Soon, snake-like lightning bolts surged across the sky, weaving through the black clouds and extending their branches in every direction. They mirrored the behavior of the mother lightning that spawned them.
Suddenly, the ground beneath trembled violently, and the deafening roars of demonic beasts and monsters echoed in the air of the entire Mystery Island.
What was truly remarkable was that, only moments ago, this island had been completely devoid of life. Yet now, the roars of terrifying demonic creatures filled the atmosphere, as though they had been summoned from the very depths of the island itself.
What does it mean?
Somehow, after the command of the blurry figure, demonic beasts and monsters had appeared out of nowhere, as if responding to his call.
Inside the palace, the tremors continued, and the once-silent royal chairs began to glow with a radiant light, revealing figures seated upon them.
These individuals, who had been in a deep slumber, were momentarily disoriented but they quickly regained their senses. Without hesitation, they stood up and immediately knelt before the blurry figure, bowing deeply as they saluted, "Lord Devas!"
Devas looked at his people for a few seconds and then said in a deep voice, "The successor of the Golden Dragon has appeared. Being chosen by the Golden Dragon Pearl means having the qualification to obtain the legacy left behind by my Godfather. This Mystery Island, which was created by the Golden Dragon, finally has its own owner. The Golden Dragon had left the Mystery Island to my father and my father passed down it to me."
"If not for that earth-shattering incident, this Mystery Island would have been a place filled with vitality, hustle and bustle, and liveliness. However, that incident destroyed everything. The rest of us had to go into a deep slumber in order to survive."
"According to the prophecy, once the successor of Golden Dragon returns to his rightful place, the Mystery Island will flourish again like never before. The world will bow down before the successor, and the successor will bring the world to a new height. We have to prepare to welcome the successor!"
"Yes, Lord Devas!" Everyone nodded in excitement. Enthusiasm could be seen on their faces.
Just moments ago, the entire palace had been empty, yet now it was suddenly filled with dozens of people who had appeared out of nowhere.
How they materialized on the royal chairs, or how Lord Devas himself came to be on the throne, remained a mystery.
"But..." one of the kneeling figures slowly raised his head, stood up, and asked with urgency, "Who is the successor? And since the successor has emerged, those "people" must have sensed his appearance as well. If we don't act swiftly, the successor will be in grave danger!"
As soon as the question was asked, Lord Devas closed his eyes, his expression growing serious as if concentrating on something far away, searching for the location of the successor.
It was as if nature itself has started resonating with him, a very ethereal wind started blowing softly and the weather changed and become appealing to people's hearts.
Sometime later, Devas opened his eyes and said: "He is really special. For some reason, I'm unable to see him. He is shrouded in some sort of mysterious fog that is blocking my vision. It is as if that mysterious fog is there to restrict people from spying on him or... his fate and destiny."
"Well, he seemed to be in the Valley of Death currently."
The people present in the hall frowned. They exclaimed together: "Valley of Death? Isn't that place where..."
"Yes!" Devas nodded his head.
"Valley Of Death is filled with danger. We have to hurry and bring him here!" Another one said in a hurry and stood up. His figure started fluctuating violently as if he was going to disappear at any moment.
"Calm down!"
Devas waved his hand, and the air seemed to have stirred up, immediately suppressing the person whose figure was constantly fluctuating. Then he said: "On other thought, I changed my mind. He seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious fog, blocking my vision. There is nothing in this world that can block my vision, but he succeeded in doing this. What does it mean?"
Seeing everyone's silence, for the first time, a smile appeared on Devas' blurry face. No one could see his facial features clearly, but everyone could tell that Devas was smiling right now.
"It means there is more to this little boy. It seems as if the world itself wants to hide his true identity, not wanting to reveal anything related to him. That's why my vision was blocked."
"Since that's the case, let nature run its course for now. Because of the Golden Dragon's Pearl, he is already connected to Mystery Island. Sooner or later, he'll come here. As for us, let's just wait and see how he progresses. He is currently too weak anyway, not suitable to even step out of a small country. Let him become stronger step by step and experience the world. Let him take every step with stability on the stairs of chaos. Only by going through many dangers and dealing with unknowns by himself can he become a perfect successor who will lead the Mystery Island to its former glory and might even surpass the past."
"Only by hammering an iron again and again can we make the iron sharp and give it any shape. Just like that, he needs to experience the world by himself to grow stronger and qualify to truly rule the Mystery Island."
"Let us see the rise of a legend from here!"

Cyrus was surprised when he saw another attribute appearing in the system panel floating in front of his eyes. This additional attribute was the 'treasure' attribute.
It told him that he was now in possession of the Golden Dragon Pearl.
Cyrus immediately understood that this Golden Dragon Pearl must be the Golden Pearl that entered his body previously.
He hurriedly looked at his own body, trying to search for the Dragon Pearl, only to fail in the end. Cyrus was unable to find anything.
He could not understand what happened before and why he could not see the Golden Dragon Pearl even though the system was clearly telling him that he is in the possession of this pearl.
Is the Golden Dragon Pearl still inside his body?
If that really is the truth, would the Golden Dragon Pearl do any harm to him?
Cyrus could not find an answer to his questions, so he stopped thinking about it in the end, and focused on what to do next.
His strength has also increased by one level. He could already feel his body becoming even stronger than before.
Taking a deep breath, Cyrus was ready to leave this place.
Surprisingly, when he raised his head to look at the surroundings, he found himself standing at the small paradise, the place where he appeared after running from the Three-headed Jaguar. This is also where he met the little furry animal.
But when he tried to find it, he was unable to locate that little guy. It was as if that little fellow had disappeared somewhere at some point.
Cyrus shook his head and sighed. Then he thought about how to leave this place.
The moment this thought appeared in his mind, a golden light suddenly burst out from his body and enveloped him completely. Cyrus could feel that the source of this golden light was actually the Golden Dragon Pearl.
He suddenly sensed a strong suction force and the ground below his feet disappeared. This frightened Cyrus a lot.
He doesn't have any idea what happened just now, and unknowns are always the most frightening things.

He could not speak at all for some reason.Fortunately, a few seconds later, Cyrus felt his feet touching the ground. Light returned to his eyes, and he found himself standing in a place surrounded by many tall mountains.This was the Black Mountain Ridge.The Black Mountain Ridge was a continuous mountain range with rugged terrain. In this place, there was an unending, black-colored land that looked as if it had been washed with ink. Thus, it was called the Black Mountain Ridge.This mountain range was actually not far away from the border of the Valley of Death.Just like the Valley of Death, there was once a legend about this place.It is said that the Black Mountain Ridge used to be an ancient battlefield where humans fought a bloody battle against other races to defend this place.In the end, a riv

Blood started gushing from his broken nose.It all happened so fast that for a few seconds, no one could process what had occurred. The skinny youth, Dora, was immediately knocked unconscious, his body sent flying three meters before hitting the ground with a heavy thud. He didn't even have the chance to scream before blacking out entirely."Ahhh!"When everyone reacted, Cyrus had already caused Dora to suffer a heavy injury.

Cyrus was lying unconscious on the ground. The ground below him was completely black, covered in ashes.No one was around him; he was alone.

The wounds and burns that Cyrus suffered started to heal on their own.Although the healing process was slow, it was also true that his injuries were healing under the effect of the golden light.As for the source of the golden light, it was the Golden Dragon Pearl that entered Cyrus's body.After a long time, the golden light started to shrink, and eventually, it totally submerged into his body.And at this moment, Cyrus finally woke up. His mind was buzzing. He slowly opened his eyes and felt extremely comfortable."Umh... my injuries?!"As Cyrus checked his body, a look of confusion spread across his face. His mind raced to piece together what had happened.How could his injuries have healed so quickly?He vividly recalled the brutal explosions

Cyrus calmed his heart and said loudly, "Let's talk if you have something to say. I didn't ruin your traps on purpose. I can't possibly be courting death by stepping into your trap, right? It was all an accident!""Accident? I clearly saw you running into my trap directly. Do you think you can make an excuse, and I'll let you go?"Cyrus frowned. He wanted to say that traps are meant to be hard to see, but this person clearly had a different opinion. It was pointless to argue, so Cyrus took a deep breath and responded, "Fine, believe what you want. But what do you plan to do now? Keep me here forever because of an 'accident'?"Saying this, he leaped, stepping firmly on the ground. Then he lowered his body, gathered all his strength, and shot out like a bow released from its string. With lightning speed, he struck the young man's body!"Bam!"The young man was caught off guard, forced back a few steps. He was not a novice. Although he was forced retreat, he still reacted immediately and

From the way Lucas was speaking, Cyrus felt as though Lucas looked down even on First-tier Star Warriors. It should be noted that Cyrus's father, the Lord of Velkyn Mansion, was also a First-tier Star Warrior and considered a powerful figure in all of Star City back on Earth.No matter how Cyrus looked at it, Lucas's background had to be terrifying.As they continued talking, Lucas suddenly realized that he had been speaking a lot with someone who had ruined the trap he had painstakingly set up.His expression froze for a moment, then a sinister smile crept onto his face as he laughed and said, "Don't think that I have a good temper just because I'm talking nicely."Lucas's overbearing words shocked Cyrus. It shook him to his core.At that very moment, Lucas suddenly gritted his teeth and angrily smashed his fist into the ground. His face twisted with a frustrated expression as he snorted coldly: "Hmph! Speaking of which, I'm still furious. I put a lot of effort into setting up that t
The Eternal Destiny System Ch 15: Fire Origin Beast
The Fire Origin Beast liked to devour fire-attribute treasures. Therefore, Lucas prepared a pile of Blazing Nine Leaf Grass.He carefully buried these items at the center of the trap, with some scattered across several locations. Moreover, he concealed them with extreme precision to prevent the Fire Origin Beast from consuming all the bait in one go, ensuring there would still be time to act if needed.Everything was ready. The only thing left was for the Fire Origin Beast to come and take the bait.The two of them climbed a tall tree and lay down on the treetop. They hid their auras completely as well and started waiting.Night soon fell. A curtain of darkness enveloped the entire forest. The bait had been set up. The two of them were hiding on the treetops and were waiting. Everything was calm as usual.After four more hours, there was still no movement. At this time, Cyrus had already relaxed to the point of falling asleep."Sizzle! Sizzle!"Lucas's eyes were also closed, but sudde
The Eternal Destiny System Ch 16: Another Fire Origin Beast
Cyrus saw that Lucas was using his sharp dagger to cut open a layer of the Fire Origin Beast's flesh and throwing all of them to the side. After a while, a glowing object surfaced at the center of the Fire Origin Beast's chest. It was actually a scalding crystal.Lucas reached out to this crystal and took it in his hand. Immediately, his hand burned to the point of crying out loud. Unable to control it, he quickly threw the crystal onto the ground."Chii!"The surroundings of the crystal suddenly caught fire and turned a patch of grass into ashes. Lucas used a lot of force to stomp it out. After half an hour, the Fire Origin Beast's core finally lost some of its heat. Only then did Lucas take out a small metal box from the ring and put it away.Following that, he turned his head to see Cyrus still standing quietly on the spot. He pointed to the ground and said, "Collect all of the Fire Origin Beast's meat. If you use these as food, it will allow you to increase your strength by a lot.

Blood flowed out of his ears automatically which made him panic.At this time, the Fire Origin Beast continued to roar, and its body suddenly shot out rays of hot light."Boom!"As if Cyrus was its target, he felt a huge impact on his body, and the next instant, his body was suddenly sent flying.He landed on the ground and rolled out a few meters. His body was directly pierced by the scorching rays of light, leaving many bloody holes. The pain was most likely even worse than the explosion that he was caught upon before!It was also at this moment that Lucas sprung up from behind the gigantic shield. His legs seemed to be stepping on some kind of magnet as he rose in the air. His bloodthirsty eyes stared indifferently at the crazily roaring Fire Origin Beast. He was filled with pride and arrogance. Holding on

Cyrus was stunned, but he soon noticed aside from him no one else reacted. It was as if they were used to it.This was the truth.Marcus explained and Cyrus soon understood everything.It turned out that every red light appears from the card only when the participant is a First-tier Star Warrior. When the participant is a Blue Spirit Star Warrior, a very deep blue light would appear. Different colors represent different stages of cultivation.The light serves as proof of one's identity as a participant in the Hidden Dragon Competition.

The air was filled with the constant sound of vendors calling out, advertising their goods, and adding to the city's energetic atmosphere."Let's find a restaurant to eat and rest for a while. Then I'll bring you to the place of registration."Since leaving Riverside City in the morning until now, the group had been hurrying on their way, and they were already exhausted.

The black-robed man walked into the inn. He was slightly chubby, with an appearance and aura so ordinary that no one would have paid much attention to him. A simple, long blade hung on his back; there was nothing remarkable about it.As soon as he entered, some of the people in the inn glanced over out of habit. When they saw his plain appearance and felt his weak aura, most of them lost interest and went back to their drinks and conversations.But there were a few who observed him more carefully. Their eyes widened with sudden recognition, and a spark of curiosity lightened up in their gaze. They exchanged quick glances, acknowledging something, and then, with silent understanding, looked away, pretending nothing had happened.The man in the black robe was Chris. He had come to the inn under his father's orders to complete an important mission. It was urgent, and he had to stay under the radar. His identity had to remain a secret, no matter what.

"What are you laughing at?"Lucy stared at Cyrus with her bright and limpid eyes and asked naively."I'm just happy!"Cyrus raised his eyebrows, looked at Lucy, and shook his head. The smile on his face became even brighter."Happy?"Lucy was stunned, not understanding what made Cyrus so happy."Yes, I'm happy?"Cyrus nodded with a bright smile and spoke. His words made Lucy roll her eyes, and then, a smile also bloomed on her face. She elegantly flicked the swaying strand of long hair behind her ears, but soon regained her natural composure."Let's have our meal!"Cyrus spoke and started eating.In the next moment, Lucy’s jaw dropped as she stared at Cyrus in surprise. It is because when Cyrus saw the steak made from demonic beast meat, he didn't bother with a ettiquet. Instead, he stabbed it with a fork and started chewing as if it were a piece of flatbread."Mmm, this is delicious!"Even though he was having dinner with a stunning beauty, Cyrus seemed completely at ease.

Cyrus and Lucy entered the Golden Star Restaurant to have a meal. Cyrus was a bit light-headed from hunger as he was walking.According to Lucy and Chris, this was the most luxurious hotel not only in Riverside City, but also in the entire Green Wood Region, and it was also the most expensive place around."Sir, how can I help you?"As Cyrus and Lucy stepped through the door, a tall, fair-skinned attendant approached them. She greeted Cyrus warmly and was about to extend the same courtesy to Lucy, but her expression shifted the moment her eyes landed on her.The attendant hesitated, as if about to speak, but Lucy quickly shook her head and cast a brief glance at Cyrus. The attendant seemed to understand the unspoken message and, with a professional demeanor, redirected her attention solely to Cyrus.Lucy let out a quiet sigh of relief at this subtle exchange.Meanwhile, Cyrus, oblivious to what had just occurred, was too preoccupied with his hunger and his eagerness to eat."We are he

I know you want to give him those skills for free, but don't forget our purpose. We need to find out if he has a powerful background. The more he spends, the more likely it is that he belongs to a significant force."Hearing this, Chris reluctantly closed his mouth without another word.The cousins followed Cyrus to the reception desk on the first floor, where the payment had to be made."That will be 500,000 credits for Shadowless Steps and 200,000 credits for Irregular Seven Fists. Please proceed with the payment here, sir." The receptionist said politely and then pointed at the barcode.Cyrus nodded in agreement.

When Cyrus was still on Earth, he used to think that Star Warrior could only cultivate to a "legendary" stage that is above First-tier Star Warrior. Only now did he understand how ignorant he used to be about the world.He has no idea if Earth is like Planet Ecaz, having many stages of Star Cultivation!Anyway, what shocked him the most is that the Planetary Stage is not the limit, it is actually a starting point. There are many cultivation stages above the Planetary Stage, just that Cyrus's authority was low, and couldn't view or learn about them.Even so, now that he knew about so many stages of cultivation, Cyrus wanted to become stronger than ever before.In front of these powers, his father's strength was nothing.

The middle-aged lady politely spoke and started leading Cyrus somewhere.Cyrus did not say anything, he silently followed the woman while curiously observing the surroundings.Very soon, he was led inside the guest room where a few people were sitting comfortably on sofas and chatting happily.The moment Cyrus entered the guest room, everyone was attracted to him.Cyrus noticed three middle-aged men, a girl of the same age as him, and a boy about three or four years older than him."Sir, I have brought him here!" The middle-aged lady spoke politely to one of the middle-aged men who was the main focus inside this room. He seems to hold a very high status here."Miss Rose, you can go and do your work!""Yes, President!"With that, the middle-aged lady left the room."Hello, young man. How are you feeling now?" T

Two kilometers away, a squad of people was constantly on guard as they stepped into this once-verdant forest. Their gazes were as sharp as eagles, as though they had gone through hundreds of battles.In this group, there were a total of three Blue Spirit Star Warriors, and among these three, a tall and sturdy man about forty years old was actually at Level 9. He was only one step away from stepping into an entirely new stage of cultivation.He wore dark blue clothes. His eyebrows were like sharp blades and his eyes were like the stars, glowing with a strange light.As this man was walking, he knitted his brows and coldly said in a powerful voice, "Everybody, stay careful. Never lose your focus. We have no idea what happened here, but more than half of the forest has been destroyed a month ago. It seems two extremely powerful experts surpassing White Dust Stage were fighting.""We need to be extremely careful as we don't know if those two experts are still there or not."Hearing him, e
