TL: Etude
With these cursed poison beasts, Ye Tian no longer needed to worry about other blood beasts.
If any blood beasts approached, they would be attacked by the cursed poison beasts, spreading the curse and poison, creating more cursed poison beasts.
However, Ye Tian couldnât control these cursed poison beasts forever, nor could he control too many of them at once. Additionally, the lifespan of cursed poison beasts was very short; without special methods to seal them, they would quickly die.
This was a flaw of the poison curse talent. For example, the poison people encountered in the Yuan Ancient Hall were modified and sealed to survive for so long; otherwise, they would have died long ago.
Soon, Ye Tian reached the bottom of the Blood River.
After a brief search, he quickly detected the fluctuations of a World Source Stone.
âThere really are World Source Stones, and itâs a whole vein of them! Its value is immeasurable!â
Ye Tian was quite excited.
These World Source Stones were more than enough, not just for him, but for dozens or even hundreds of people. Even if his consumption far exceeded that of others, he would never have to worry about running out of World Source Stones.
Immediately, Ye Tian began mining the World Source Stones at the bottom of the Blood River.
Time passed slowly, and soon a few days had gone by.
Outside the Blood River.
Jin Shan was extremely worried. She wasnât concerned about Ye Tianâs life or death, but about herself.
If Ye Tian perished in the Blood River, not only would she be unable to mine the World Source Stones, but it would also be very difficult for her to leave the Twilight Forbidden Zone.
At the very least, she believed she didnât have the strength to contend with those undead creatures.
âPrince of Ten Thousand Laws, please donât die in the Blood River!â Jin Shan thought to herself.
Suddenly, the Blood River surged, and a figure flew out of it. Jin Shan looked closely and was overjoyed. âPrince of Ten Thousand Laws!â
With a flash, Ye Tian teleported in front of Jin Shan and said, âPrincess Jin Shan, there is indeed a World Source Stone vein down there. Iâve been mining for a few days and have extracted all the World Source Stones from this area.
However, this Blood River is very long, and there should be more World Source Stones in other areas, so we need to search around.â
âYour World Source Stonesâ¦â Jin Shan looked at Ye Tian with longing, hesitant to speak.
âDonât worry, I wonât covet your thirty percent share of the World Source Stones. Here, take these that Iâve just mined!â
As he spoke, Ye Tian took out a spatial ring and handed it to Jin Shan.
Jin Shan accepted the spatial ring and, upon inspecting it, found it contained a large number of World Source Stones.
She counted them silently, astonished by the quantity. âThis amount is truly incredible. To impact the planetary system level, even for improving the worldâs quality, a few hundred stones would suffice. For worlds with high potential, a thousand stones might be used, but now Iâve obtained over 300 stones!â
Such a vast number of World Source Stones were enough to elevate the world she had created to its potential limit, an advantage and benefit unimaginable to other God-level beings! Moreover, Ye Tian might continue to find World Source Stones, allowing her to obtain even more in the future.
However, thinking about the larger number of World Source Stones Ye Tian had made her feel a twinge of envy and jealousy.
If Ye Tian were weaker, she might have considered seizing them. Unfortunately, Ye Tianâs strength far exceeded her imagination. It was already fortunate he didnât take her World Source Stones; how could she dare to snatch his?
In the following days, Ye Tian continued to search for World Source Stones. After some time, he finally discovered two more World Source Stone veins.
He mined all these World Source Stones as well.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
On this day, Ye Tian tallied his World Source Stones and found he had collected 1820 stones. (number may not be accurate)
Such a large number of World Source Stones was more than sufficient for his use, and he could even provide them to his wife, sister, and others.
After searching for a few more days without finding any more World Source Stones, Ye Tian suggested, âPrincess Jin Shan, it seems there are no more World Source Stones. We should consider leaving.
You have been in the Twilight Forbidden Zone for a long time, and your father is likely very worried by now. If we stay here any longer, it would be a waste of time and might cause your father even more concern.â
âAlright!â Jin Shan nodded repeatedly.
She had long wanted to leave the Twilight Forbidden Zone, but she stayed only for the World Source Stones. Now that she no longer lacked them, she had no desire to stay any longer.
âLetâs go!â
Ye Tian led Jin Shan, traversing the area with ease. Along the way, no undead creatures or killing demonic soldiers could stop Ye Tian; he killed them all effortlessly.
Before long, Ye Tian successfully led Jin Shan out of the Twilight Forbidden Zone.
Outside the Twilight Forbidden Zone, the Dragon Race soldiers stationed there spotted Ye Tian and Jin Shan and immediately approached.
âGreetings, Princess Jin Shan!â The Dragon Race soldiers spoke with reverence.
Soon after, a powerful aura emanated around them.
Boom!!!! A manifestation of the Golden Blood Dragon Ancestor descended, its terrifying aura permeating the surroundings but quickly retracted.
Upon seeing the Golden Blood Dragon Ancestor, Jin Shan excitedly called out, âFather!â
The Golden Blood Dragon Ancestor feigned anger, âYou little girl, always running off. The Twilight Forbidden Zone is not a place you should be. If you do this again, Iâll ground you for a hundred thousand years!â
âFather, I was wrong. I wonât dare do it again!â Jin Shan lowered her head.
The Golden Blood Dragon Ancestor didnât scold Jin Shan further and instead turned to Ye Tian, âPrince of Ten Thousand Laws, I owe you a great debt this time.
Might you have time to stay for a day or two so that I can host a banquet to thank you?â
Ye Tian pondered for a moment, then nodded, âAlright! Then I shall trouble you, Golden Blood Dragon Ancestor!â
Ye Tian knew the Golden Blood Dragon Ancestorâs offer was more a gesture of goodwill than genuine gratitude. However, refusing might offend the Golden Blood Dragon Ancestor. Since humanity and the Dragon Race had not yet truly clashed, it wasnât wise to offend one of the three supreme beings of the Dragon Race. Hence, he agreed.
Swish! Dominator Dark appeared before Ye Tian, âYour Highness!â
âDominator Dark, letâs go to the Golden Blood Dragon Star first. Weâll return to humanity after the banquet,â Ye Tian suggested.
âSince youâve decided, Your Highness, Iâll accompany you for a few more days,â Dominator Dark nodded.
Shortly after, Ye Tian and Jin Shan returned to the Golden Blood Dragon Star together.
The Golden Blood Dragon Ancestor then arranged accommodations for Ye Tian and Dominator Dark in a pavilion.
Meanwhile, the Golden Blood Dragon Ancestor began preparing the banquet, not only to celebrate Jin Shanâs safe return but also to thank Ye Tian.
Since it wasnât a particularly high-level banquet, the other two supreme beings of the Dragon Race didnât attend. Most of the guests were strong members of the Golden Blood Dragon Ancestorâs lineage and some talented young Dragon Race members.
On this day, the banquet commenced. Ye Tian sat next to Princess Jin Shan at the head table, surrounded by many Dragon Race strongmen. The entire banquet was very lively.
âThe Dragon Race is not weak at all!â
Ye Tian scanned the area, seeing numerous Universal Gods and Dominators. Although they couldnât compare to humanity, the Dragon Race was undoubtedly a very powerful race among the higher races.
At the banquet, a Dragon Race True God noticed Ye Tian at the head table and was stunned.
âItâs him!â
The Dragon Race True God exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Tian also noticed this Dragon Race True God and smiled slightly, recognizing him immediately.
âLong Tianlin, I didnât expect he had cultivated to the peak of the True God level. It seems his luck has been good these years,â Ye Tian thought to himself.
