Shaking the water droplets from his claws, Xu Yang looked at the Resources entry, which still read 0/3, and slightly furrowed his brow.
Buzz!
His consciousness tentatively tapped the Resources entry, and a line of faint black text appeared beneath it—
Resources (Prey no less than one major realm above the host)
Damn, no less than one major realm above me? Does that mean killing ordinary beasts won't give me Resources anymore?
Xu Yang suddenly understood. But that's not too bad. With my current Planet Level strength, killing Apprentice Level creatures is still easy.
Shaking his head and twisting his waist, Xu Yang left the stream in high spirits, not at all discouraged by the system's restriction.
Right, now that I'm Planet Level, can I use Domain Draw?
Humming a little "grr grr" tune, Xu Yang suddenly remembered and hurriedly summoned the panel he had just dismissed.
His gaze moved to the bottom. Gray, white, gray, gray... three of the four buttons were grayed out and unavailable. The first was the Training Room that Xu Yang used every morning. The second was the Domain Draw button!
Great! Just as I guessed!
Xu Yang bared his teeth, unable to contain the joy in his eyes. He immediately split his attention, jogging along the rugged mountain path while examining what was so special about Domain Draw.
Swish!
It opened with a tap as usual. Unlike the previous crude panels, this Domain Draw interface was unique—one could even call it gorgeous—
A disc occupying more than half his field of vision appeared, dazzling with flowing light. Four intersecting black lines divided it evenly into eight sections. Each section bore a different symbol: some resembled burning flames, some thick, heavy land, and some lightning leaping between heaven and earth...
Damn, does this represent the Eight Lower Laws from Swallowed Star? Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, Wind, and Lightning.
Xu Yang was so shocked by the system that his jaw dropped. He had been mentally prepared, but he had never expected such a huge surprise.
How do I draw? Do I need to hunt living creatures to charge it?
If Xu Yang had hands right now, he would already be rubbing them impatiently, ready to go for a one-shot win. He had played gacha games in his previous life too, and he had a bit of confidence in his luck.
Domain Draw was divided into three tiers. A third-tier chance was obtained once a week and could draw Domains from the 1st to 3rd level; a second-tier chance was obtained once a month and could draw Domains from the 4th to 6th level; a first-tier chance was obtained once every four months and could draw Domains from the 7th to 9th level, with a chance of triggering the corresponding Law enlightenment in advance.
This time, the system did not make Xu Yang stand around guessing. It directly told him the rules of Domain Draw.
Three tiers? You really understand gacha mechanics, Xu Yang complained inwardly to the system. But at least I don't have to worry about getting draw chances myself. I get them automatically when the time comes. That's pretty decent.
Overall, as time passed, Xu Yang had become more and more satisfied with his system. After all, acquiring Resources had not been difficult for him, leveling up was easy, and now even this gacha automatically granted him chances when the time came. He did not need to save up "this value" or "that point."
And in Swallowed Star, time was "very cheap." Even the best first-tier chance only took four months to obtain. It could be said that as long as Xu Yang was not utterly cursed with bad luck, he could draw a ninth-level Domain while lying down!
But I can't rely entirely on the system either. What if this transmigration used up all my luck... With a shudder, Xu Yang thought of the most terrifying possibility. He hurriedly shook his large head, tossing that inauspicious thought out of his mind. Still, the resolve to work hard while relying on the system firmly took root in his heart.
Without the system, he was nothing.
With only the system, he was still nothing!
Ten thousand meters in the high altitude.
Two flood dragons were flying westward. Judging from their direction, they were headed for the Frost Mountain Range.
"Boss, that was awesome! But we snatched two Planet Level leaders from the Azure-Eyed Baboon Clan in one go. Won't that cause trouble?" Molenta was thrilled. That previous battle had been immensely satisfying, and he was still not over it. As he spoke, he lowered his head and glanced down. Beneath his front claw hung a creature upside down, its two ankles tightly gripped in his claw as it swayed back and forth in the biting winds.
It was Iron Fist of the Azure-Eyed Baboon Clan. Naturally, the one held beneath Caesar's claws as he flew alongside Molenta was Gale.
"Heh heh, what's there to fear? From how things looked earlier, the Azure-Eyed Baboon Clan was fighting the Vajra Ant Clan. They're too busy looking after themselves now. How could they possibly come looking for trouble with us?" A confident expression appeared on Caesar's long dragon face.
"That's true. I've never eaten Azure-Eyed Baboon meat before. I wonder what it tastes like..." Molenta's thoughts jumped quickly. Since Caesar said there would be no problem, there definitely would not be one. "Also, the Vajra Ant Clan is truly disgusting. Their stench almost knocked me out on that battlefield."
Molenta had noble blood and had been exceptionally well protected since childhood. How could he have endured the baptism of such a battlefield before? Besides, the rapidly rotting Vajra Ant corpses had indeed blanketed the entire battlefield in a heavy stench.
"Hahaha, they're bugs. They're all like that. As noble members of the Frost Flood Dragon Clan, they aren't on our menu." Caesar's laughter was deafening, even scattering the clouds around him.
Caesar and Molenta chatted happily, while Iron Fist and Gale, whom they had suspended upside down, had fallen unconscious from severe wounds, walking toward Death's hall in their slumber.
In a place Xu Yang did not know about, the three major forces of the Verdant Wilderness had engaged in a minor clash. It ended with the Azure-Eyed Baboon Clan suffering a crushing defeat, the Vajra Ant Clan making a small profit, and the Frost Flood Dragons reaping the rewards.
However, even if Xu Yang had known, he would not have involved himself. He was currently patrolling his territory in the Lightning Strike Mountain Range. Where would he find the leisure to meddle in other races' affairs?
At dusk, the sun that had shone all day began to sink westward, and twilight spread from the horizon toward the Lightning Strike Mountain Range.
Xu Yang was currently walking through the southern part of the Lightning Strike Mountain Range, taking deep and shallow steps.
Previously, he had found marking territory with urine too embarrassing, so he had never done it. But now that he had advanced to Planet Level, even simply passing through an area left behind the aura unique to a high-level monster beast for a long time. Not to mention that every so often, he would leave behind a few clumps of his silver fur.
That was right—he was now marking his territory. When he advanced to Planet Level earlier, he had flown into the sky for a look. The entire Lightning Strike Mountain Range was actually not very large. Its east-to-west span was only around seventy or eighty kilometers, while its north-to-south span was less than a hundred kilometers.
Moreover, from the sky, there was not the slightest trace of any Planet Level monster beast aura throughout the entire southern region. It was very suitable as territory.
