326: Chapter 325 Are you a dragon?

Chu Xuan's mind raced, instantly recalling what [Future Tang Zheng] had once mentioned.

Because he had become a Purifier ahead of schedule, the world will had awakened early, which in turn caused the System's binding restrictions to be lifted prematurely.

When that time comes, the System will no longer be limited to Transcendents who have had a Talent Awakening or entered a God-Ascension Sequence; instead, a universal System for all people will be realized.

However, due to the influence of the Gloom Invasion, the world will has already become twisted and insane.

Anyone bound to the System will be issued mandatory tasks. Everyone must contribute to resisting the Gloom Invasion; those who fail will be forcibly obliterated!

Just moments ago, Lin Jie's state was extremely abnormal. His level of hatred toward Specters far exceeded his past experiences, and combined with the fact that he was very likely the "Child of the World."

Perhaps Lin Jie's unusual state just now was a reflection of the changing rules.

"Lin Jie, don't let hatred cloud your mind. Without enough strength, how can you talk about exterminating Specters? Go back to your room and rest. When we enter that primeval forest tomorrow morning, don't be the one holding us back."

"I understand, Big Brother Chu Xuan." Lin Jie felt an inexplicable wave of drowsiness wash over him. His body felt weak, he couldn't muster any spirit, and he left with drooping eyelids.

Chu Xuan closed the door. With his superior Mental Energy, he could perceive Lin Jie lying on the bed even through a wall, and soon, light snoring could be heard.

"I hope [Future Tang Zheng] is still alive..."

Chu Xuan did not go to bed; instead, he sat on the sofa fully dressed.

In the last dream, because [Future Tang Zheng] had given him too much information and had died repeatedly due to the Debt-Collecting Ghost and the nuclear strike, the man was struggling to withstand the Lightning Tribulation.

To save him, Chu Xuan had to commit suicide early to wake up.

At this moment, Chu Xuan had many questions in his heart regarding Lin Jie's identity as the Child of the World and why he could transmigrate to other worlds in his dreams.

And how the other party was able to know in the dream that he had been hit by a nuclear bomb.

This included information about the White Tiger, Yan Guofa's stance, and whether there were any traps related to that paper effigy...

Seeing that it was still early, Chu Xuan remained full of energy without a hint of fatigue, so he took the opportunity to take stock of the items in his System space.

A half-person-tall Giant Egg suddenly appeared.

This was a gift given to him by the Rebel Army as a token of gratitude after he killed the King in the War Dragon World. It was said that this Giant Egg came from an Earth Dragon's nest and had been stolen by an Earth Dragon.

Currently, several fine cracks had appeared on the surface of this massive egg covered in strange patterns. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before it hatched.

To keep this thing, he had spent 1,000 spirituality value points for certification and 200 spirituality value points to open a biological space.

"Is it a dragon egg?"

Chu Xuan merely gave the Giant Egg a light tap, and the egg immediately shook violently, slamming toward him as if very dissatisfied with Chu Xuan's behavior.

Chu Xuan stepped aside and suddenly raised his hand, directly pressing down on the charging eggshell.

In an instant, a massive force struck. Chu Xuan could still withstand it, but the solid wood sofa beneath him was overwhelmed, making a series of "crack" sounds before instantly shattering and collapsing.

Chu Xuan did not fall; instead, he stood firmly in place in a horse stance.

His eyes flickered as his palm held the Giant Egg, unaffected by the massive force. He slowly stood up, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "You cost me so much spirituality value, and yet you dare to attack your master? It seems I can only crack you open and eat you as a 'living pearl' egg..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Giant Egg immediately rolled back a few times, then used its base as a pivot to rock back and forth continuously. Looking at its posture, it seemed to be... kowtowing for mercy?

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow. "You can understand what I'm saying?"

The Giant Egg rolled forward and backward, seemingly nodding.

"When can you come out?"

The Giant Egg swayed side to side, seemingly shaking its head.

"You don't know?" Chu Xuan asked again, "Are you a Dragon?"

The Giant Egg swayed side to side, shaking its head again.

"Then what are you?" Chu Xuan felt it was quite strange. He circled the Giant Egg and asked a few more questions, but the Giant Egg stopped moving.

Chu Xuan had no choice but to put the Giant Egg back into the biological space. He was actually starting to look forward to what kind of species would hatch from this Giant Egg.

Next, Chu Xuan took stock of his Exclusive Space.

[Items: spirit Pearl X1 (Remaining spirituality value: 1000), jiyue crystal X15, soul crystal X5, rule fragment Enhanced Version X1, random teleportation scroll X1, Transcendent Skill Fusion and Promotion Scroll X1]

Among them, the jiyue crystals had accumulated to 15. He could keep these for now for emergencies; there was no need to consume spirituality value to upgrade regular skills...

With 5 soul crystals, it wasn't enough to upgrade the Exclusive Skill [All-Cutting Slash], so he had to keep them for now.

Regarding the Fusion and Promotion Scroll, according to the System prompt, its function was to fuse three skills of the same Rank, unrestricted by the God-Ascension Sequence, to increase the level of one of the skills by one.

Chu Xuan planned to use it on [Teleportation]. He just needed to obtain a few more Transcendent Skills before he could fuse them and have it Breakthrough to LV.4.

This Transcendent Skill was very practical and provided a significant boost to combat power.

Previously, if his Teleportation skill hadn't been much worse than Huo Gui's, the man wouldn't have lasted long at all and would have long since become a ghost under his blade.

Chu Xuan intended to try using the random teleportation scroll in his dream again to see where it would send him this time, in order to accumulate experience in using it.

There was also the Enhanced werewolf kill card; if the timing was right, Chu Xuan also planned to conduct a test through the dream.

As for the 1,000 spirituality value points in the spirit Pearl, Chu Xuan didn't touch them.

As for those ten golden spirit money, he had the System absorb them all.

[Your spirituality value +1000]

[Current spirituality value: 3580]

Time passed quietly, the sky gradually brightened, and the red sun slowly rose.

It wasn't until nearly seven o'clock that Chu Xuan finally went to bed and slowly closed his eyes.

Five minutes passed, and Chu Xuan opened his eyes.

"I couldn't fall asleep again..."

Chu Xuan's gaze narrowed. With his current Physique and spirit attribute, he should be able to fall asleep almost instantly in a quiet state.

Yet now, a full five minutes had passed, and he still hadn't fallen asleep.

Chu Xuan remembered that a similar situation had occurred once yesterday at the Headquarters' Villa No. 9.

"What's the reason?"

Chu Xuan frowned slightly, took a deep breath, closed his eyes again, and calmed his mind.

One minute.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

Chu Xuan adjusted the rhythm of his breathing, and it wasn't until nearly twenty minutes later that he finally drifted into a deep sleep.

"Never trust anyone!"

"Never trust anyone..."
