The Nine Golden Crows Evolve Together!

This system... this cheat... is just too damn unreasonable!

Too damn hardcore!

Too damn amazing!

From a roasted bird that got shot down, it directly evolved into a neutron star egg.

Now I can even choose to become a black hole or a savior!

Hell, I can even leap straight to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

The sheer shock swept through his soul inside the "egg" like a cosmic storm.

One second ago, it was the despair of imminent death; the next, the key to rewriting fate—even ascending to the heavens—was in his grasp!

This extreme contrast, from hell straight to the clouds, made his entire consciousness tremble.

He started weighing the options.

Option one: instant ascension, Black Hole Physique, even Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal strength.

But!

This choice was a complete trap!

Accreting other Golden Crows?

Evolving into a black hole?

It sounded like the ultimate romance of Star Evolution!

But for Lu Jun, a rookie who just transmigrated and hadn't even gotten cozy with Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, this was no different from jumping straight into the Netherworld Sea Eye!

"Are you kidding me? I haven't even left the noob village, and you want me to solo the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal tribulation?"

"Third Brother and Fourth Brother spent endless time stuck at Primordial Unity perfection and never dared touch that thing—am I supposed to go feed myself to it?"

"And energy? Isn't that huge Sun Star in the sky just decoration?"

"Going home to suck on the Sun Star is way better than sucking on a few dying brothers!"

"Unlimited energy and safe! This option one is a poisoned apple—looks tempting, but one bite and it's GG!"

Lu Jun's mind was a storm of complaints.

Option two was way more reliable!

A physique comparable to an Ancestral Witch—basically a deluxe starter pack!

Plus, he could save these eight unlucky brothers—not because Lu Jun had a sudden attack of saintly compassion, but out of fear!

Think about it: if only one of the nine Golden Crows went back alive...

Di Jun: "My son, how did you survive? Let your father take a look (divine sense scan)."

Tai Yi: "Huh? This physical state... interesting (Chaos Bell twitching eagerly)."

Kun Peng: "Hehehe, Crown Prince, this old minister is quite interested in your 'Nirvana' path (a gaze full of ill intent)..."

Just thinking about it made Lu Jun's eggshell tingle (literally)!

But if all eight brothers survived, the whole situation changed!

From "Lu Jun has a lucky encounter" to "Golden Crow clan's hidden talent awakens en masse"!

Phoenix can undergo Nirvana—why can't Golden Crows be reborn from eggs?

How reasonable!

How imposing!

It would also make certain scheming bastards—like Kun Peng, who eventually betrays Di Jun—think twice about the cost of messing with a Golden Crow!

Besides, if none of the brothers died, would Di Jun still fly into a rage and launch an all-out attack?

Would he still go make that "Witch-Slaying Sword" that pissed off the Human Race to death?

Without that blood debt from the Witch-Slaying Sword, wouldn't Empress Nuwa's attitude toward the Demon Race soften a bit?

Maybe he could even latch onto one of the biggest thighs in the Prehistoric World!

Play it safe—gotta play it safe!

Lu Jun made up his mind: "Option two! Brothers, let's Nirvana!"

[Option two confirmed! Executing 'Empowerment' protocol!]

[Activating Higher-Dimensional Interference Field. Stabilizing target dying star (Golden Crow remains). Initiating Synchronized Collapse Program!]

[Target: Golden Crow Crown Prince Bo Huang! Energy injection... Rule overlay... Forced collapse initiated!]

The moment the System Prompt faded, a beam of light—visible only to Lu Jun, composed of countless mysterious geometric runes—

Instantly struck the nearby, barely alive Crown Prince, whose flames were almost frozen into ice slush.

"BOOM!!!"

Without warning, the Crown Prince's massive Golden Crow remnant body erupted in a cataclysmic external explosion and internal collapse!

A violent torrent of energy instantly tore through the frozen void, the blazing white light stinging the eyes (or eggs) shut!

When the flames faded, all that remained was an egg—shrunken a million times, spinning at breakneck speed, radiating a terrifying gravitational pull...

"Holy shit! Big Brother... he actually turned into an egg?"

Second Crown Prince Zhong Lang, who had witnessed the whole thing, nearly split his consciousness wave in shock!

He'd only blurted out "Golden Crow Nirvana" in his excitement, and now Sixth Brother, shouting "Brothers," had actually nirvana'd Big Brother into an egg?

This innate divine ability... awakened just like that?

With live demonstration and one-click enlightenment?

"Second Brother, don't panic! You're next! Hold still! This is our Golden Crow clan's hidden life-saving skill! A second growth spurt, get it? Hold still! Don't resist!"

Lu Jun quickly reassured him in the most "certain" tone he could muster, terrified that Second Brother's instinctive reaction might crash the system's guidance.

[Target: Golden Crow Second Crown Prince Zhong Lang! Empowerment initiated! Forced collapse in progress...]

"W-Wait! Sixth Brother, I haven't prepared..."

"BOOM!!!"

Before Second Crown Prince Zhong Lang could finish his "last words," that terrifying gravitational force from the deepest layers of the stars erupted inside him!

He only felt as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed him, forcibly kneading and compressing his soul and flesh, compressing them further and further!

The sensation... was ten thousand times more intense than being hit by Xuanming's arrow!

Just before his consciousness plunged into total darkness, only one thought remained in Zhong Lang's mind.

"This innate divine ability... its activation method is way too... hardcore..."

Then, like a cosmic explosion—"BOOM!" "BOOM!" "BOOM!"...

Under Lu Jun's (the egg's) "enlightenment," the Third Crown Prince, the Fourth Crown Prince...

One by one, without any resistance, they were blasted into—

Uh, no—they were "nirvana'd" into Golden Crow eggs!

The scene was quite spectacular.

Perhaps due to the varying cultivation levels of the Nine Golden Crows, the nine eggs on site were also different sizes.

They rippled with gravitational waves, their surfaces radiating terrifying heat, neatly lined up on the scorched black earth.

[Empowerment protocol complete! Eight dying stars successfully transformed into other celestial bodies!]

[Option Two reward settled: Host's second-stage evolution, 'Innate Divine Being Form,' will grant an Ancestral Witch-level Body!]

[Environmental warning: High-energy hostile lifeform cluster detected approaching at high speed!]

[Emergency initiation of host's second-stage evolution: Innate Divine Being Form (Human Race template)! Evolution accelerating...]

Before Lu Jun could even feel joy, the system's urgent alarm suddenly blared!

Meanwhile, at the edge of the land, dust billowed and Sha Qi surged to the heavens!

"Hurry! It's just ahead! The Golden Crow brats' corpses should still be warm!"

A rough, thunderous voice roared.

"Hahaha, warm? I bet they've frozen into ice cubes by now!"

"Exactly! Ancestral Witch Xuanming's Ice Dao can even snuff out True Sun Fire!"

"Chief Da Yi is a beast! One arrow, one Golden Crow Crown Prince—what a satisfying slaughter!"

"That's right! Revenge for Chief Kua Fu! The Demon Race dares to touch our Great Witch, so we'll wipe out ten of their crown princes!"

"Chief, how should we handle the Golden Crow corpses later?"
