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.

The surroundings became completely dark, and Cyrus felt like falling into a deep pit. He tried to shout for help but was terrified to realize that no sound was coming out of his mouth. 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

"Bang!"Ka-cha!Cyrus's fist struck the skinny man completely off guard, smashing directly into the bridge of his nose. The sickening sound of bones shattering filled the air.The man's eyes widened in shock and became larger than a small egg. Before he could even cry in pain, his face collapsed inward. 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. The woman's face was aghast, and she screamed crazily."Humph!" Cyrus's eyes flashed like lightning; he glanced at the sword on the skinny tall youth's waist. Then quickly pulled the sword out and dashed deeper into the forest.Previously, he used his ability "Mom

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. So, no one noticed a golden light flashing from within Cyrus's body that enveloped his entire body. 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
The Eternal Destiny System Ch 14: An Inescapable Net
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.
The Eternal Destiny System Ch 17: Dangerous Situation
The Fire Origin Beast crazily shook its body, raised its head, and roared, causing its sound to shake the surroundings violently.Cyrus's eardrums almost burst out in an instant. 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

He's now on the verge of entering the ranks of experts at Level 8 Blue Spirit Star Warrior.""How can that be? I can't help but wonder; does he truly possess such strength, or is something fishy going on?""I don't know, but cheating is highly improbable. You should know that the Golden Monument is a treasure left behind from the Age of Gods. There is no way someone could tamper with it. Not to mention him or us, even powerful Glorious Gold Star Warriors are unlikely capable of manipulating it!""Then how do you explain this? Look at him. He is clearly just a First-tier Star Warrior, yet he reached a ranking where only Level 8 Blue Spirit Star Warrior could possibly rank!""Who knows!"Everyone became nervous.

Ch 36: The System's Interference
"Top 200?"Wan sneered silently when he heard the crowd. As a Level 4 First-tier Star Warrior, he was able to rank 285th after erupting with all his strength. Cyrus was only a 1 First-tier Star Warrior. His name should not have even appeared on the Golden Monument, let alone rank in the Top 200.There must be something strange about his name not only appearing on the Golden Monument but also rising up constantly.While Wan was still sneering inwardly, to everyone's shock, Cyrus's name soon rose to rank 200 and was still rising upward, not showing any sign of stopping at all. Not long after that, his name crossed the 100th position as well."Top 100?""Oh my god, A Level 1 First-tier Star Warrior can actually rank in the top 100. How can this be true? My eyes must have gone blind. I'm seeing things."Everyone thought they'd gone crazy and were seeing things, not able to bring themselves to believe in their eyes.On the other hand, the Golden Monument kept flashing with a name constantl
Ch 35: The Crowd's Shock
Cyrus shifted his attention and saw three hundred names listed on the surface of the Golden Monument. The names belonged to young people who had the qualifications to participate in the Hidden Dragon Competition.Among these people, the weakest was a Level 1 First-tier Star Warrior."Are these the top ten?"Cyrus glanced at the top row of the Golden Monument. Ten names were written there in shiny golden characters. Almost everyone's eyes were fixed on them, full of respect.Cyrus curiously looked at the name ranked first. Dylan Lydall's name was purple gold. Among the 300 names, his name was the most dazzling. He was also a Level 9 Blue Spirit Star Warrior and the contestant who was most likely to win the championship.Cyrus frowned slightly and nodded. This Dylan was truly impressive. At only 28 years old, he had already reached the level of a Level 9 Blue Spirit Star Warrior. His talent was undeniable. To put this into perspective, his father, the Lord of Star City back on Earth, wa

At that moment, Cyrus understood that unless the mystery surrounding the crystal was uncovered, there would be no chance of him purchasing it from Marcus.But Cyrus wasn't ready to give up. As long as he could examine the crystal, the system might reveal its true nature and value to him. He knew he could not let go of this god-given opportunity. Although very low, there is indeed some probability of success.Determined, he asked again, "Then... can you at least let me see the crystal? I want to take a closer look."Marcus hesitated, his expression uncertain. Sensing this, Cyrus shook his head and spoke firmly, "If you want my help, you should at least show some sincerity. If you can't even let me see the crystal, why should I risk my life to help you?"What would he gain from helping them?Just a reward and a favor.Perhaps, Cyrus's background was so extraordinary that he didn't consider their favor worth anything at all."That crystal is with Chris. He took it with him to Ten Thousan
Ch 33: Oval-shaped Crystal
"What kind of place is Ten Thousand Abyss City?" Cyrus couldn’t help but ask.Marcus took a deep breath before replying, "I can only tell you that this city is extremely dangerous. The main reason is that it lies at the intersection of four regions of Light Wind Empire. One of these regions is our Green Wood Region.""The Hidden Dragon Competition isn't limited to the geniuses of the Green River Region in the Light Wind Empire; it's a contest among the brightest talents from all four regions, which is why it's held in Ten Thousand Abyss City.""As for why this city is so perilous, you'll know once you go there."Cyrus nodded thoughtfully. By now, he already knew that the Light Wind Empire had a total of four regions. Each region had hundreds of huge cities and towns. Aside from the Green Wood Region, there were the Red Flame Region, the Blue Water Region, and the Silver Thunder Region. There was a significant reason why each region was named after a color and an element. This was due

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. When the competition begins, the light will automatically activate at the checkpoint, granting the individual access to the competition stage."Alright, you can leave now."The old man waved his hand. Yusuf walked down the stage happily. His strength was neither high nor low."Next."Immediately, a young girl walked up from below. She was seventeen or eighteen years old. Her face was round, and her eyes were blinking, shining brightly. She was a beauty.

Upon entering Green Star City, Cyrus and Marcus were immediately greeted by a scene of endless prosperity and lively activity. Luxury cars streamed along the streets, which were crowded with people going about their day. Both sides of the main street were lined with vibrant shops. 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. Although Marcus didn't need the food with his strength, others needed it. Therefore, Marcus and the others found a restaurant to eat and rest in so that they could relieve their fatigue.After some time, they finished their meal and, after taking a brief rest, got up and left......"Cyrus, this is the Eastern Garden.

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.
