The Three-Eyed Golden Lion did not respond, but scrutinized him warily.

"Never mind, I'll just show it to you directly."

As he spoke, Su Cheng stretched out his palm, and a drop of blood appeared above his fingertip.

The blood droplet was perfectly round and flawless, and it did not emit any aura, yet it still gave the Three-Eyed Golden Lion a jolt of energy, causing it to instinctively lean forward.

Not only it, but even Di Tian next to it stared wide-eyed, unable to contain his emotions.

Su Cheng doesn't have much of the Dragon God Bloodline left. Besides using it to improve himself in the future, he also needs to set aside some for other purposes, so he can only take out this tiny bit.

But that's enough.

Upon seeing the Dragon God's Blood in his hand, both Di Tian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion revealed an extremely strong desire in their eyes.

However, compared to the composed Di Tian, the golden-haired Auspicious Beast clearly lacked the same level of self-control, its claws twitching slightly as if it were about to pounce and snatch the treasure at any moment.

Seeing this, Su Cheng laughed and said, "You also have some of the Dragon God's blood flowing through your body, right?"

"Um."

"Pure and complete Dragon God Bloodline, do you want it?"

"Think."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion swallowed hard, making no attempt to hide its desire.

"If you want it, just come with me this time and pay a small price, and I can give you this wisp of complete Dragon God blood. With your current cultivation level, even a tiny bit will be of great benefit to you."

"What price?"

"Give me some of the power in your eye."

"Forehead..."

Upon hearing Su Cheng's request, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion hesitated.

It glanced at the drop of blood between Su Cheng's eyes, then looked back at Di Tian.

Di Tian exchanged a glance with it, moved his lips, but ultimately said nothing, signaling with his eyes that it should make the decision itself.

The relative importance of the Dragon God Bloodline and the attributes of Auspicious Beast was clearly beyond his knowledge.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion hesitated, then shook its lion- and dragon-like golden head irritably, saying, "How can you be so greedy? It's not enough that I go out with you, you also want the attribute power in my body?"

Su Cheng was amused by its words. "You really dare to say anything. Who's the greedy one here? I'm just exchanging some of your attributes; it doesn't require you to pay a huge price. You don't actually think that bit of Fate Power is some unique treasure, do you? This is pure and complete Dragon God Bloodline, something even the Silver Dragon King is clamoring for. Do you think she would even look at the power you possess?"

"..." Di Tian glanced at Su Cheng with a strange expression.

Clearly, he had little idea what the scene of the Silver Dragon King "roaring for" was like.

"Just tell me if you're willing or not." Su Cheng gently twirled his fingers, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's gaze followed. "This is your only chance. I see that although there is the aura of the Dragon God in your bloodline, it is completely different from that of the Silver Dragon King. It must be extremely incomplete, probably a split off from the other half of the Dragon God. Hmm, I might be able to give you some pointers."

"... Okay, I promise you."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion gritted its teeth, as if it had made an extremely difficult decision.

The attraction of attributes is of great significance to Auspicious Beast, but there's no way around it; the allure of the Dragon God Bloodline to these dragon-type Soul Beast is simply too strong, and it would be difficult for anyone to resist such temptation.

Moreover, it is still young, and even if it has a violent temper, its will is not particularly firm.

"Very good, here you go." Su Cheng flicked his finger and tossed over the Dragon God's Blood, delivering the benefit ahead of time.

His actions surprised the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

He then quickly opened his mouth and swallowed it.

A golden light flashed in Su Cheng's eyes as his True Vision unfolded, allowing him to carefully observe the entire process of its fusion with the Dragon God Bloodline.

As expected, unlike Su Yue's all-attribute traits, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's bloodline is strong in terms of physical strength.

With the integration of the complete bloodline, golden energy patterns appeared on the surface of the extremely dense flesh and bones within the Golden Lion's body. A halo flowed between the meridians and bones, and at the same time, an indistinct golden phantom emerged behind it.

A few breaths later, Su Cheng suddenly stretched out his finger and tapped it on the forehead.

The next moment, True Power formed a net, layer upon layer, covering down, and the golden light on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body also dissipated.

It opened its eyes with a slightly bewildered look, and looked at Su Cheng with confusion, not understanding why the other party had interrupted it.

"There's no need to absorb it all at once; this step is enough. Let it adjust first, and once your constitution improves, you can absorb the rest for better results."

A single drop of the Dragon God's blood is insufficient to fundamentally alter the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's bloodline and physical body.

Its level was already quite high, and the concentration of dragon blood in its body was very high, so it wouldn't be like those low-level Soul Beast that could undergo a transformation simply by absorbing some high-quality bloodline.

Rather than consuming it like this, it's better to divide it into two parts.

Su Cheng had no intention of giving it any more Dragon God blood.

"Now it's your turn."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the other person's red, glowing vertical eye on their forehead.

Some time ago, Su Cheng also found some records about "Auspicious Beast" in the vast collection of books in the Spirit Hall.

According to the descriptions in ancient books, the so-called "Auspicious Beast" are just a name, referring to special Soul Beast that have received the Fate Power, and not specifically referring to a certain race.

However, the book's specific descriptions of the "Fate Power" are vague and ambiguous.

It's likely that even those scholars who documented or researched Soul Master didn't truly understand the details.

All I know is that Auspicious Beast can protect Soul Beast, greatly increasing their cultivation speed. Furthermore, different Auspicious Beast have different attributes.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion in front of us possesses multiple attributes, including Ultimate Light and Ultimate Fire.

However, these two are not its primary attributes; its primary attribute is actually Spiritual Power.

Su Cheng was also interested in this point, using the special Mental Attribute of the Auspicious Beast to stimulate his True Sight Eye and see if he could break the seal.

On the other side, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion licked its lips, still wanting more, and had no intention of breaking its promise. It merely glanced cautiously at Su Cheng in front of it. Then, it hesitated and prepared to step forward to perform the attribute transfer in its own way, but Su Cheng raised his hand to stop it.

"No need to come over. Relax your mind and let me guide the power within you."

He knew the normal procedure for attracting Auspicious Beast.

There is a related description in the book.

Any creature recognized by Auspicious Beast will naturally stir each other's Sea of Consciousness and refine their attributes once they make spiritual contact with it. They may even attract the auspicious energy carried by the Auspicious Beast, making their future cultivation and adventures much smoother.

However, it's easy to imagine that although this method of communication isn't as exaggerated as his dual soul cultivation with Bibi Dong, it will inevitably cause both of them to be affected by each other's soul level.

Su Cheng had no interest in developing a spiritual or emotional connection with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in this way, nor did he want to be influenced by it.

Even with his profound spiritual foundation and rich experience, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could have very little influence on him, and he didn't want to do such a thing.

Moreover, Su Cheng had even less interest in "polluting" the soul of a pure Soul Beast with his own human thoughts.

In his view, this was by no means a good thing for any free and independent being, even if the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could achieve a meteoric rise in its cultivation path as a result.

"Just focus on your fundamental power."

After saying that, Su Cheng, under the astonished gazes of the two Soul Beasts, used his True Power to build a bridge. Without touching each other's Sea of Consciousness, he drew upon the Spiritual Power of the Auspicious Beast and directly injected it into the light gate above his own sea of consciousness, the one formed after he obtained the True Sight Eye.

The moment they made contact, Su Cheng's body trembled slightly, and a huge wave surged through his entire Sea of Consciousness.

The Source Power contained within the portal quickly transformed into a mysterious force that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"This is..."

Su Cheng's consciousness was immersed in it, and his vision changed again, revealing a scene completely different from his previous True Vision.

Before him, identical phantoms appeared on the golden Auspicious Beast.

Then, one by one, these phantoms disappeared, leaving only three golden lion phantoms remaining, each in a different scene.

After an unknown amount of time, the Star Dou Great Forest behind one of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was suddenly subjected to a mysterious and devastating attack. A crimson light swept across the sky, and the phantom of the golden lion disappeared.

Then came the second one, which was infused with external Soul Power, transforming, sacrificing, and dying...

Su Cheng watched the scenes flash by like fleeting shadows, staring intently at the last remaining phantom, seemingly oblivious to the faint stinging sensation caused by the rapid depletion of his Spiritual Power.

Finally, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in the illusion also took human form and left the planet beneath its feet alone. At that moment, a figure seemed to appear from beyond the heavens...

At that moment, his Spiritual Power was being depleted at an alarming rate.

Su Cheng's face turned pale, the scene in his vision suddenly cut off, and he felt a blackout.

Immediately afterwards, a few thin streams of bloody tears flowed from his seven orifices.

"Hiss..."

Su Cheng gasped.

Only then did I realize that my vast and boundless Sea of Consciousness had almost completely dried up.

"This is what they call the 'Trajectory Demon Eye'? Is its effect really that terrifying...?"

This ability is incredibly energy-consuming; even with his strength and resources, he couldn't sustain it for long.

Moreover, at crucial moments, the consumption is ten times faster.

Of course, in return for such a massive expenditure, the acquired abilities are also extremely powerful, allowing him to see the future fate of Auspicious Beast like auspicious beasts. However, it seems that this ability has limited significance for him.

"No," Su Cheng shook his head, forcibly clearing his chaotic mind, "It must be that I used it wrong."

"Hey, are you... are you alright?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked tremulously, its eyes filled with worry and fear, as it cautiously approached.

Just now, there seemed to be a power in the faint, Glass-Colored light in Su Cheng's eyes that could steal one's soul.

At the moment it was being watched, it seemed as if its consciousness and body no longer belonged to itself, and it could only observe from a third-person perspective.

Beside it, Di Tian also frowned as he looked at Su Cheng.

Although he remained wary of Su Cheng, he still cared deeply about this ally.

Such a promising and powerful human, who has never shown the slightest malice towards their Soul Beast Clan, would certainly not be overlooked by Di Tian, given his shrewdness.

Hearing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's concern, Su Cheng simply shook his head.

He had no time to pay attention to anything else; he was focused on sensing the changes in his new organs and trying his best to restore his completely depleted Spiritual Power.

At the same time, Ah Yin was also providing him with a steady stream of energy, which greatly accelerated the recovery of the severe damage caused by his mental trauma.

Su Cheng calmed his mind and looked at the incomplete, huge rune floating above his sea of consciousness.

The portal of light that was once the core of the True Sight Eye transformed into a wisp of the power of the laws of destiny under the stimulation of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's Mental Attribute power.

It is the law of destiny, not simply the Fate Power.

Today, he has finally come to understand the meaning of "fate" to some extent, or more precisely, the meaning of fate represented by his "Trajectory Demon Eye".

Fate itself cannot be controlled by any living being.

This is because it is the operating principle of the entire world after interacting with countless living beings, and it is influenced by too many factors. It can be said that any high-level being can guide or even control the future fate of lower beings to a certain extent.

That difference stems from the disparity in power and the varying levels of understanding of the rules of the world.

The reason why the Trajectory Demon Eye just evolved the three most likely future destinies of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is not because it truly sees through fate, but because its core lies in "information".

All the information, useful and useless, whether he had noticed it or had inadvertently overlooked it, was gathered together and deduced.

Even the most crucial element lies in those seemingly insignificant and useless pieces of information.

The trace of fate contained in the Trajectory Demon Eye actually gave Su Cheng a stronger ability to observe and deduce.

It's like having a supercomputer, powered by its own True Power and profound Spiritual Power, capturing all potential influencing factors through countless details and environmental changes, and summarizing one or more possible outcomes in the future.

And this is one of the most fundamental laws of the world.

Predicting the course of fate is just one of the most advanced applications of the Trajectory Demon Eye; it also has other abilities.

In just a short while, Su Cheng discovered that he could use the Trajectory Demon Eye to build bridges and thereby invade other people's mental world.

They also learned what was still missing for the complete activation of the Trajectory Demon Eye, and what the so-called Fate Power on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion referred to.

That was not the Fate Power from Douluo Star at all.

It was a counterattack of the Soul Beast race's fortune.

As an intelligent race, Soul Beast have been suppressed for too long, which has led to the Soul Beast race being able to usher in an opportunity for good fortune every now and then. This is also the reason why so-called "Auspicious Beast" have appeared many times in the past.

Therefore, the Fate Power embodied in Auspicious Beast is actually unrelated to the power of different planes; it is also a kind of clan destiny.

In the past, it was the Silver Dragon King's own half-understanding that misled Su Cheng.

The subtle connection between the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Douluo Star is fundamentally due to the feedback from the clan's destiny.
