“Advanced Nether Beast In all directions, open the protective barrier—”
As long as there is any movement in the four directions, I will immediately sense it.
I stood outside the barrier, watching Chiba and Dragon Soul closely, feeling uneasy. Was this approach too risky… Could Chiba hold on?
I thought that if Chiba wanted to merge with Dragon Soul, it would take some time, but unexpectedly, Dragon Soul made a move that caught me off guard!
The Little Green Dragon within Dragon Soul slowly detached from the pale yellow orb of light and flew directly towards Chiba, circling around him, sometimes close and sometimes far, as if it were sniffing something.
Chiba seemed a bit at a loss, standing there in a daze.
“What’s going on?” I asked anxiously.
“I don’t know. It seems to have sensed something and isn’t allowing me to approach it for now.”
How could this be? The reaction of Dragon Soul didn’t seem like it was rejecting Chiba.
“Could it be related to the ancestor within you?”
“Not really. The aura of the ancestor shouldn’t be enough to alert Dragon Soul.” Chiba looked extremely troubled; he didn’t want to let go of this hard-earned opportunity.
“I see that the competition is about to end soon. We can’t keep stalling like this.”
"I know, just wait for me a little longer. If it really doesn't work... then we'll have to give up!" Chiba said the last part through gritted teeth, filled with intense unwillingness.
"Alright, don't force it."
Every second passed, each moment felt incredibly precious.
Dragon Soul and Chiba remained frozen in place, showing no signs of movement!
It was clear that Chiba was suffering the most right now. Not only was he mentally tense, but his body also seemed to be showing signs of distress. He was trembling slightly, his whole body stiff, his complexion particularly pale, and his gaze vacant.
"Chiba, if it doesn't work, let's stop. We can think of another way; don't push yourself too hard," I said.
Chiba did not respond and continued to remain in that state.
Just as I was anxious and about to withdraw the barrier to go in, Dragon Soul suddenly changed its previous tentative actions!
It began to sway violently, its body flipping over and over, spinning faster and faster!
Chiba's expression grew even worse; he trembled violently and then collapsed to the ground, starting to convulse.
A blinding light erupted, and everything before me turned white; I couldn't see anything clearly!
At that moment, a powerful aura emerged within the barrier. I felt a sense of dread; my formation might not be able to contain this aura any longer!
The bright light shot out in all directions, suddenly breaking through the barrier and shooting off into the distance!
"Damn it, the barrier is broken, and now we're all exposed!"
"Chiba, there's no time, we have to hurry!" I shouted.
Just as I took a few steps, I suddenly froze in place...
The special aura that emerged when the barrier was broken actually came from the Time Stone.
It came out of Chiba?!
In an instant, all the intricate connections between them flashed through my mind. The Time Stone is extraordinary, but it originally belonged to the Dragon Ancestor, and this Dragon Soul happens to be a manifestation of that Dragon Ancestor. Now the Time Stone has chosen Chiba as its new master... This means that the four of them might be bound by fate.
I stopped interfering with the interaction between Chiba and the Dragon Soul and reopened the barrier. Although it could temporarily conceal their aura, it wouldn't last long. Thunder and the others would eventually come looking for them; such an important item as the Dragon Soul could not be taken lightly.
At this moment, Chiba began to show signs of recovery, sitting cross-legged on the ground, regulating his breath.
"Chiba, trust me, you are definitely the best choice for the Dragon Soul. I'll do my best to hide your aura; we need to be quick!" I said firmly.
Chiba's face still looked too pale, but he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
The Dragon Soul stopped moving and slowly stretched its body before suddenly rushing into Chiba's body. As the Dragon Soul entered Chiba, the Time Stone also disappeared.
"Ah—!" Chiba cried out in pain, stretching his body with all his might, standing straight.
"Chiba, you must hold on!"
Chiba's body crashed around, rising into the air before slamming down against the Ground, then hitting the stone wall, accompanied by Chiba's cries of pain.
"Ah—" I couldn't help but gasp in shock.
After a while, Chiba's voice began to lower, and I feared that Chiba might be tortured to death like this.
Is what Thunder said true... It really feels like that Dragon Soul is tormenting Chiba.
"Stop, stop! If you keep doing this, you'll end up killing him!" an elderly voice urgently exclaimed with a sense of pain.
"Who is it?" I whispered sharply.
The voice clearly came from within the barrier, but there was no one else there besides Dragon Soul and Chiba.
"The body chosen by this lord cannot accommodate any impurities!" a slightly childish voice retorted.
"I'm not some kind of drug; I'm this kid's ancestor."
"Hmph, I don't care what you are. Get out of my way right now."
"How outrageous! Just because you're the ancestor of the Demon Dragon Clan, you think you can ignore me? Do you really think I won't dare to compete with you?!"
"Haha, with your current broken body, you still dare to challenge me? You're truly seeking death!"
"Arrogant words! I am an existence that surpasses the Supreme Lord. Even if I am left with only my primordial spirit, I will not let you look down on me so easily!"
"Foolish, watch me eat you right now!"
"You dare? Do you believe I can destroy this kid's body along with mine?!"
"Dream on—"
"Ah!" Chiba let out another loud scream, sounding extremely painful.
...
The two voices fell silent; they must have realized how their struggle was going with the Dragon Soul and the Reggae Ancestor residing within Chiba.
"Chiba, how are you?!"
"This kid is fine." It was a somewhat childish voice.
I was taken aback; this voice should belong to the Dragon Soul?
"Don't worry, I've eaten the old monster inside him. Hmph, if it weren't for me, he might have been swallowed by that old monster long ago... But now he's perfectly fine; just let him rest a bit and he'll wake up."
"You are the Dragon Soul?" I asked.
"That's right, it's me."
"So, does that mean Chiba successfully fused with you?" I inquired.
"You could say that, but in a short period of time, he still won't be able to fully merge with me. It depends on his own comprehension ability. After some time, you will see his changes."
"And what about you?"
"Soon, I will attach myself to his inner core and begin to sleep until the day he awakens."
So that's how it is. Chiba has managed to escape this round. I always felt that his ancestor wouldn't easily give up the chance for rebirth. People have desires; no matter how long they live, sometimes the longer they live, the more they want.
I sighed and said, "Senior, do you remember me?"
"Who are you?" Dragon Soul immediately asked in return, then seemed to mutter to himself, "Not a bad body, quite impressive, but unfortunately not compatible with me..."
"We should have met in your lifetime," I said.
"...In my lifetime? I have already been reborn and cannot remember anything from what you call my past life."
"I apologize for my presumptuousness."
"Hey, instead of talking about useless things, why not worry about the commotion outside?"
I was taken aback. Right, how could I have forgotten about what was happening outside?
"Damn it, Thunder is indeed coming this way!" I shouted in alarm.
If he discovers us, we will definitely attract the siege of the Demon Dragon Clan!
"Dragon Soul, you also have your eyes on Chiba. Why don't you explain it to Thunder?" I suddenly thought.
"Do you think he would listen even if I explained?"
That's right, Thunder places great importance on Dragon Soul. Now that Dragon Soul is merging with the alien race he is most worried about, and with me in the middle helping to maintain Chiba, he would definitely go crazy.
"This is bad, there's no time to find Xiaopu, they're coming!"
At this moment, I could only call Little Pink back; I had no way to protect Xiaopu.
"Little Pink, find Xiaopu immediately and take her to a safe place!"
"Master, what's wrong?" Little Pink replied instantly.
"There's no time, hurry and take her away!" I urged.
"Okay, I'll wait for you, Master!"
I helped Chiba up and asked, "Can you still walk?"
Chiba looked very weak, his eyes slightly opened but soon closed again.
"You should leave first—" Chiba said.
"This is my choice. If we can't escape, I'll face the consequences with you."
Chiba closed her eyes and leaned against me, breathing steadily, as peaceful as a sleeping child.
"I will protect you, just sleep peacefully," I whispered. "Sigh, I still have to face what needs to be faced; I won't run away anymore."
I gently laid Chiba down and walked slowly to the cave entrance.
...
Thunder arrived quickly, and he was surprised to see me. "Miss Xi Dream, what are you doing here?!"
"Thunder, listen to me, don't rush in," I said as I blocked his way when he raised his foot to enter the cave.
Thunder's expression stiffened as he looked at me with a complex gaze, filled with confusion but no suspicion.
Sighing, I found it hard to speak.
Suddenly, a faint groan from Chiba came from inside the cave, and the atmosphere instantly grew tense.
"Is someone inside?!" Thunder shouted, ready to charge in!
"I know, just let me finish," I said again, stopping Thunder.
"What is going on?!"
"The Dragon Soul has already chosen its master; they are now united."
Thunder's eyes widened, nearly bursting with rage and bloodshot. "Who is it? I want to kill him!"
Seeing that I didn't respond, Thunder became furious. "Miss Xi Dream, do you know his background? You can't even defeat him?! I want to see who dares to act recklessly on our Demon Dragon Clan territory!"
"…No, it's me. I helped him."
"What?! What did you say?!"
"I'm sorry, Thunder, but I have my reasons for doing this. You have to trust me; this is definitely not a betrayal of the Demon Dragon Clan."
"…" Thunder clenched his fists and lowered his head in silence.
"Moreover, he was personally chosen by Dragon Soul. If it were anyone else, they would have already died."
"Have you considered that what you're doing is opposing the Demon Dragon Clan?" Thunder said slowly, his calmness terrifying.
