86: Chapter 86 Jiang Jin: The Ancient God Thirst

He had been lying on the lounge chair for a while.

Zhao Ruohan walked out wearing a black dress that accentuated her figure, saying that the kitchen had prepared several new types of transcendent dishes and wanted him to taste them.

After becoming a [Creator], Jiang Jin developed a few more hobbies.

One was drinking tea, another was lying on the lounge chair unwilling to move, and the third was tasting various delicacies.

"I never noticed it before, but eating delicacies is such a pleasure. It seems I have the potential to become a foodie."

Jiang Jin got up leisurely and walked toward the hall downstairs.

Beside him, Zhao Ruohan walked with a cat-like grace. Hearing Jiang Jin's self-muttering, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle; she discovered that her master also had a humorous side.

"Hmm, it smells so good. Are these transcendent dishes today all meat?"

Upon entering the hall, Jiang Jin's sense of smell was stimulated, and he was attracted by the dishes on the white jade table.

"Yes, Master. These were made by selecting a few items from the transcendent ingredients you brought out today."

There was no one else in the hall. Zhao Ruohan stepped forward and pointed at the dishes on the table, introducing them one by one:

"This plate is made with Tier 1 Mi-flower venison, this one on the side is mutated grizzly bear paw, and this one is mutated tiger meat…"

"As for the one in the very center, it is top-grade mutated Wagyu beef."

"With so many transcendent meat dishes that look, smell, and taste great, the two chefs have improved their culinary skills again. They must be rewarded!"

After Jiang Jin finished speaking, he began to eat with a great appetite.

Seeing Zhao Ruohan still standing by the side, looking eagerly at the transcendent meat dishes as if she were about to drool, he said with a chuckle:

"Ruohan, these meat dishes are quite heavy. I can't finish them alone, so you sit down and eat with me."

"Wow, thank you, Master!"

Zhao Ruohan sat down immediately without any hesitation.

Her bright eyes shone with golden light. Completely disregarding her lady-like image, she ate even more fiercely than Jiang Jin.

"Ruohan, you can eat even more than me."

The two of them swept the meat dishes clean like a whirlwind.

Jiang Jin lay half-reclined on the chair, patting his slightly bloated stomach, and smiled at Zhao Ruohan, who was sitting opposite him, also full and satisfied.

"*Hiccup*~"

Zhao Ruohan let out a burp, her face slightly flushed. "...Master, this transcendent meat is too delicious. I wasn't paying attention for a moment and ended up eating a bit too much."

"In the past, I had eaten ordinary tiger meat and bear paws, as well as some wild game. They all had more or less of a gamey taste, and the texture wasn't very good."

"I didn't expect that after transcendent evolution, while their Physique mutated, their taste became excellent too. I'm afraid the 'Dragon meat and Phoenix marrow' from myths and legends is nothing more than this."

"Ruohan, you've eaten tiger meat before?"

Jiang Jin was slightly surprised: "That's a rare item."

"Master, for people at our level, eating tiger meat occasionally is nothing, just like an ordinary Family only being able to eat out once in a long while."

"That's true. Look at me, I forgot; Ruohan, you are the little princess of the Zhao Family."

"Master, ever since my grandfather passed away, our Zhao Family has withdrawn from the ranks of top-tier Families. How could I still be a little princess?"

Zhao Ruohan's beautiful eyes relaxed as she shook her head and smiled lightly.

Jiang Jin seemed to recall something and joked with a smile, "Speaking of which, your father has quite the ideas. Is he planning to 'occupy the mountain and become the king'?"

"My father has always held a grudge about what happened back then. When the great changes in heaven and earth arrived, he was probably only willing to trust the power he held in his own hands."

Zhao Ruohan naturally understood what Jiang Jin was referring to. She pondered for a moment and replied with a sigh.

"You know, I actually quite appreciate your father's way of doing things."

"Compared to those who say one thing to your face and another behind your back, your father is at least walking the righteous path and using open schemes. As for some people in Yanjing... they are truly pitiful and pathetic."

"Master, speaking of this, I actually remembered something."

Zhao Ruohan frowned and looked at Jiang Jin, saying slowly:

"Today, Young Master Wang sent a confidential document saying that the Wang Family intends to take action against the parasitic tumor Families and asked if we want to participate?"

Jiang Jin did not hesitate and said leisurely: "That is the Wang Family's business; we don't need to participate."

"Before, when I wanted to clean up the Samsara Cult, I intended to wipe out the tumor Families as well."

"But as the Origin Continent grows rapidly, I find that my horizons have broadened."

"Keeping them can bring greater benefits."

"If I were to personally step on ants on the side of the road, wouldn't that lower the status of my [Creator] self?"

"Ruohan understands."

Zhao Ruohan nodded, then hesitated:

"It's just that if those two factions start fighting, I'm afraid the entire East won't have any peace?"

"It doesn't matter. The Spiritual Energy Revival is about to spread globally; Mortal struggles are nothing more than idle talk."

"One day, when the great changes of the earth arrive, all things compete for freedom under the frosty sky, and all ghosts and monsters revive, they will finally understand... just how small their horizons truly are."

"The future is a competition for fertile breeding grounds amidst racial slaughter, and even more so, a great era of contention under the flourishing of the Dao."

"Humanity will no longer be at the top of the food chain; all things in the world will have the opportunity to become the 'trendsetters' of the transcendent era."

Jiang Jin's eyes were deep, his gaze seemingly piercing through the long river of time, seeing the scene of the future.

*Hiss!*

Zhao Ruohan's cheeks flushed with shock, and she gasped with her red lips!

In the past, she had been to the Origin Continent, and her memories had not been Sealed.

She had many speculations about her master's goal, but when her master personally stated it in full, she was still deeply shocked!

Her master wanted to bring reality onto the path of competition among ten thousand races!

Humanity's status would be lost, and becoming the food for ten thousand races was entirely possible!

Thinking of the niujin spirit-infused grass scattered throughout Xiangnan, and thinking of the rapid growth of all things under the Spiritual Energy Revival...

Zhao Ruohan suddenly realized that the "future" her master spoke of was actually so close!

Seeing the drastic change in Zhao Ruohan's expression, Jiang Jin smiled slightly:

"What, are you a little afraid?"

"...Master, your methods are truly heaven-defying and extreme. We Mortals only caught a glimpse, and it was as if we saw the ancient gods in the Nine Heavens."

Zhao Ruohan was silent for a long time. She raised her beautiful eyes again, and her gaze toward Jiang Jin revealed deep admiration.

"Haha, Ruohan, you overestimate the ancient gods too much."

"The ancient gods thirsted to master power, but I am different... I am the shaper of the source of power."

Jiang Jin laughed loudly, stood up dashingly, and walked leisurely upstairs.

"...The shaper of the source of power."

"Is this the peerless demeanor of my master?"

When her master said this, Zhao Ruohan only felt his figure was so tall and majestic.

It was as if he could cover the entire long river of ancient history, standing there eternally, waving his hand to shape time, and raising his hand to evolve heaven and earth.

Jiang Jin did not know that this scene of his demeanor was deeply imprinted in the depths of Zhao Ruohan's heart like a brand, becoming the ultimate belief in her pursuit of the Dao in this life.

...

On the open-air balcony.

Jiang Jin took a sip of freshly made milk tea and fanned himself a few times with a feather fan, looking the part.

Immediately, his consciousness sent out a ripple, and his consciousness disappeared, entering the Singularity Universe.

On the vast continent, a hundred races competed on the same stage.

Each displayed the brilliance of their wisdom, evolving with all their might to adapt to the bloody and cruel environment of the transcendent wilderness.

When a slight ripple appeared in the sky, Jiang Jin walked out from the two-world passage, his figure descending here.
