Fusion Complete
Xia Yu had reacted by then, but the thousands of Sovereign girls in the audience hadn't, including the high priest who was stunned by the impact.
Looking at the glittering gold everywhere, and then at the golden woman beneath him, and seeing countless other glittering golden girls kneeling below, Xia Yu where he was.
He cursed the system's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.
Carefully rising from the high priest's body, Xia Yu awkwardly said to the thousands of eyes staring at him, "Actually, I'm a river god. I wanted to ask if you'd like a golden steamed bun, a silver steamed bun, or just an ordinary steamed bun."
No one paid any attention to Xia Yu. The long-standing, rigid, and uniform way of life meant that the Sovereign race needed a considerable amount of time to react to this unexpected and unprecedented event.
As Xia Yu spoke, he walked down the platform very carefully and slowly, muttering to himself.
"Let's get out of here before we can even react. But thousands of gleaming, naked beauties together—what a spectacle! I need to take a picture and bring it to Tony..."
Xia Yu was a good young man who acted on his thoughts. He took out his phone, used thousands of naked Sovereign race women as a background, and took a selfie with a peace sign.
"Click!"
The sound of a phone taking a picture rang out clearly in the extremely quiet hall.
"Sorry, I forgot to mute it. I'm very sorry, I'll remember next time!" Xia Yu bowed and apologized, then prepared to continue walking outside.
"Ah!~!~!~!~!~!~!"
High Priestess Ayesha, just realizing what was happening, let out a deafening scream.
Just like how one child crying can cause a group of children to cry.
High Priestess Ayesha's scream reminded the thousands of girls below what had happened.
During their sacred Cocooning Festival, at the most sacred prayer session, a man, a man of another race, broke in, not only seeing their naked bodies, but more importantly, disrupting their process.
Then, thousands of glittering girls simultaneously let out earth-shattering screams.
"Ah!~!~!~!~!~!"
Thousands of naked, glittering gold-clad girls screamed in unison. Xia Yu regretted it; why did he take pictures? He should have just recorded a video with his phone.
But there was no time to worry about that now; while they were still screaming, I quickly slipped away.
Xia Yu's combat power is so high now, why is he running away?
Because I feel guilty!
The Huaxia people possess boundless wisdom, and at this moment, Xia Yu recalled countless Huaxia folk tales.
Zhu Bajie peeks at the Spider Demon bathing, and Dong Yong sees the Seven Fairies bathing.
The Cowherd saw the Weaver Girl bathing...
Thinking of this, Xia Yu had Mind Stone. As he ran out of the main hall, he casually put all the clothes of the thousands of girls inside into his Space Ring.
The main hall is divided into three levels. The innermost level is where Xia Yu fell down. Outside is a large room containing the clothes of thousands of girls, which Xia Yu took away.
Outside was a smaller hall, with gold decorations on both sides. Xia Yu didn't bother to see what it was. He only truly entered the outside after opening a large door. Two symbolic guards stood outside.
With the two guards looking on in disbelief, Xia Yu knocked them both down with a single punch each.
"Ah!~!~!"
Why do I need to do voice acting? Because Xia Yu, for some reason, inexplicably felt joy this time.
Once outside, Xia Yu discovered that it was a grand palace resembling an ancient Europe temple, entirely gold in color and shimmering with light.
Outside the palace was a large, flat area, also gleaming with gold, though it was unclear what material it was made of.
Two spaceships, one large and one small, were seen outside. Presumably, the smaller one was the high priest's personal spaceship, and the larger one was for the girls.
Two squads of guards stood beside the spaceship, numbering only about ten people. Xia Yu moved at top speed, creating a gust of wind, and rushed over before they could react, taking them all down in one fell swoop.
Beyond the spaceship lay a desert; Xia Yu didn't know exactly how big it was, but as far as the eye could see, it was all sand.
The sand on Sovereign Planet has a golden hue, quite different from the color of deserts on Earth.
"Even the sand looks so fake, it can't possibly be made of gold, can it?" Xia Yu muttered to himself, but inside he was overjoyed. No matter what planet he was on, Xia Yu could hide perfectly well and remain undetected.
But on this Sovereign Planet, everything is gold, and so are all the people. Xia Yu is like a bull standing in a bunch of bald monks, too out of place. This desert, on the other hand, suits his taste quite well.
What Xia Yu didn't know was that, because of their skin color, this desert was a forbidden area for the Sovereign race. The only building inside was the one he had come from, and it was only open to people during large-scale prayer and sacrificial ceremonies, and only the high priest could open it himself.
It's perfect for hiding.
Xia Yu kicked up billowing yellow smoke as he headed deeper into the desert.
I don't know why, but since coming to this world, I've entered the desert three times, and I've run for my life every single time. The first time was with the Mandarin, the second time was when I was chased by the Hulk, and this time I even peeked at so many girls naked. My name is Xia Yu (meaning rain). I guess it's better to stay away from the desert.
"Tmall, come out here!" Xia Yu roared in his mind.
Despite his roar, Xia Yu couldn't stop feeling happy, experiencing a joy deep in his soul, which puzzled Xia Yu greatly.
"Yes, Master." A familiar synthesized voice echoed in his mind.
"Give me a reasonable explanation."
"Master, I don't think there's any need to explain. Isn't the golden steamed bun delicious? Doesn't it feel good enough? You're clearly filled with joy, so why are you angry? I'm the system; I'm inside your body, in your heart, in your soul. What's the point of lying to me? How childish."
Xia Yu once again sensed a strong sense of irony from the emotionless, synthesized electronic voice.
"What the hell is this inexplicable joy? I'm even wondering why I'm inexplicably happy."
"Master, sixty percent of your joy comes from that grand hall we just visited, and the remaining forty percent comes from the pleasure of having a portion of the Cosmic Origin imprinted on your soul."
"So my energy won't run wild anymore? Why didn't I get a notification?" Fusion complete? Xia Yu didn't bother to investigate anything else.
"Because I'm waiting for you to finish enjoying the grand nude scenes inside."
"Get lost! What new changes or skills have I noticed? I don't sense them at all!"
"Yes, Master. Your soul has been imprinted with one-sixth of the Cosmic Origin. You are now different from before in this universe; you are more integrated and fitter. It will take a few more hours for this process to complete. During these hours, you will maintain this sense of joy from your soul. After it's over, you will know what changes and new skills you have acquired."
"Couldn't you have told me first?" Xia Yu looked around for a suitable hiding place.
"You'd better figure it out yourself, I'm not telling you," Tmall retorted.
"Why? Give me a reason. I am your master."
"Because this chapter is almost long enough, you idiot!" Tmall said.
I don't know if this last part counts as teasing the readers, I hope I don't get beaten up, haha! But I'm inexplicably happy. I know you're all eager to know what new skills Xia Yu has, so I won't tell you in the next chapter, wahahaha! I'm laughing triumphantly! Laughing triumphantly!
