Since being sealed inside the giant egg, Sordil has been thinking about how to escape.

Unfortunately, no matter what methods he used, the giant egg didn't react at all, let alone escape!

After countless failures and realizing that escape was hopeless, Sordil changed what he had to do every moment into a daily routine. He used the time saved to study the composition of the giant egg and its origin.

After exploring for a while, Sordil discovered that in addition to the giant egg that enveloped him, there were two Number One, seven-colored eggs inside his body.

Out of curiosity, Sordil began to peer at the two Number One, colorful eggs, Old Suo to gain valuable experience in dealing with the outer shell by observing them.

Since there was no difference between day and night inside the giant egg, Sordil had no idea how long he had been researching. Just as he was getting bored with this kind of life and preparing to hibernate, one of the seven-colored eggs suddenly cracked open, and then a ball of blue-purple light appeared in front of Sordil. (Since Old Suo could only use his consciousness at the moment, "in front of him" is just a more understandable way of putting it.)

The moment the blue-purple light appeared, Sordil recognized it. After all, it was with its help that he was able to maintain the tug-of-war with ' Contradiction ' for so long, and watch his father and the others step onto the Teleportation Array and safely arrive at the shelter he had prepared.

Perhaps because it had lost its opponent, ' Contradiction ', or perhaps because too much time had passed, the blue-purple orb of light became extremely quiet, like a baby fast asleep.

Looking at his savior, Old Suo really wanted to rush up and touch it, kiss it, and hug it.

Just as Sordil was thinking this, a blue-purple orb of light suddenly floated slowly toward him.

"Buzz!"

The moment the blue-purple orb floated in front of Sordil, it suddenly released a soft blue-purple light and merged into Sordil's body (here, "body" refers not only to Old Suo's consciousness but also to his physical body).

The instant the blue-purple light merged into his body, Sordil felt a long-dormant vessel within him suddenly vibrate. Immediately afterward, Sordil felt himself detach from his physical body and the giant egg, traversing boundless darkness to arrive before a blue-purple palace. The next second, the palace doors opened, and a tall, fair-skinned, blonde masked woman appeared before Old Suo.

"Excuse me... (Sordil)?"

Old Suo had barely finished uttering those two words when a giant, multicolored net descended from the sky, brutally dragging him back. (Sigh! Escaping is fun for a moment, but getting caught brings tears to your eyes!)

Before the blue-purple palace, the blonde masked woman murmured as she watched the vanished Old Suo, "That power just now... Heh! I think I've struck gold, while someone else seems to be in trouble!"

After saying that, the blonde chuckled twice, then turned and went back into the palace.

After the failed escape attempt, the seven-colored energy intensified its control over Old Suo, making it extremely difficult for him to even move his consciousness.

"Brother Qicai, I was just kidnapped, I didn't escape on my own. You can't do this!"

Although Old Suo's voice was pitiful, the impartial Seven-Colored Energy seemed not to hear it and continued its strict control.

After shouting until he was exhausted, Old Suo took a nap on the spot (he had no choice but to take a nap, otherwise he couldn't get through the day!).

When he woke up, he suddenly found that the suppression on his body had weakened a lot. Not only that, the seven-colored energy seemed to be much closer to him.

"Haha! It seems you've realized your mistake, Brother Seven Colors! Hmm! Admitting your mistake and correcting it makes you a good comrade!" (Idiot! When you absorbed the blue-purple energy sphere, you subconsciously absorbed some seven-colored energy as well. They mistook you for one of their own and lowered their guard!)

After the surprise of the first Easter egg, Sordil's enthusiasm for opening Easter eggs was instantly aroused. So, after completing his daily escape attempts, he would squat next to another Easter egg and quietly wait for it to open.

The idea of a windfall happening to you is incredibly lucky, but to expect it to happen again is not just wishful thinking, it's delusional!

So Sordil, that lazy bum, waited a long time, but the other Easter egg never appeared.

Once the initial enthusiasm wore off, finding Easter eggs, like the prison break itself, became a daily routine for Old Suo. After that, Old Suo would use his ample free time to find new amusement, or simply hibernate. (Are carefree humans and dragons really this without worries?)

Ah! As the old saying goes, heaven helps those who help themselves (and even a blind sparrow won't starve). After many attempts, Old Suo finally found a new source of enjoyment—absorbing seven-colored energy!

That's right! After a very, very long time, that idiot Sordil finally discovered that he could absorb the seven-colored energy!

So, in the time that followed, Sordil's life consisted of three things: escaping from prison, waiting for Easter eggs, and absorbing rainbow energy.

As time went on, Old Suo's appetite gradually increased, and he consumed more and more of the seven-colored energy with each meal. As this energy accumulated within his body, the restraints on Sordil gradually weakened. Of course, he still couldn't escape!

After a busy and fulfilling period, Sordil's patience gradually wore thin. He could no longer endure the endless waiting, so he decided to open the Easter egg himself and discover the little surprise inside as soon as possible.

Once the decision was made, Old Suo immediately took action, and the size of the Easter egg shrank at a visible rate.

With Old Suo working day and night, the eggshell of the Easter egg finally disappeared completely after being swallowed by something.

The moment the Easter egg was opened, a ball of black and white energy rushed toward Sordil at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"Holy crap! How could it be Ankhseram's Curse?" (Hmph! Besides Easter eggs, there's also Pandora's Box in this world!)

Upon realizing that they were enemies and not friends, Sordil immediately fled.

Alas! Even at his peak, he couldn't defeat them, let alone in his current weakened state! Therefore, Old Suo didn't run long before the black and white orb caught up with him. Just as he was about to accept his fate, the prison guards finally couldn't bear to watch any longer, and the black and white orb was once again locked in the seven-colored cell.

The next second, before the idiot So could even thank the prison guard, he was driven away from the area.

To ensure that this idiot Sordil wouldn't cause any more trouble, the prison guards even built a colorful barrier to separate Old Suo from ' Contradiction '.

This ordeal made Sordil realize that he was still a junior member and not yet capable of intervening in the battle between these two powerful figures. So he suppressed his urge to unlock hidden surprises and began to diligently absorb the usable resources within the giant egg prison.

Time passed by unnoticed, and one day, a series of vibrations suddenly came from Sordil's body.

The next second, an unbearable tingling sensation swept over Sordil's entire body, giving him an urge to smash his head against a wall. Unfortunately, there was no wall here, and Old Suo didn't have the ability to control his head from banging against a wall. Therefore, he had no choice but to endure it.

As Old Suo eagerly awaited his return, time ticked by, but the tingling sensation persisted.

"Pop!"

A soft hum emanated from Old Suo's body, and then the tingling sensation that had conquered him finally withdrew from his neurons.

Immediately afterwards, an unprecedented sense of comfort filled every cell of Sordil's body, making him feel as if he had been reborn.

However, the anomaly did not end there. Just as Sordil was enjoying the comfort of the ocean, an energy that was almost transparent but also carried a hint of rainbow light surged from all directions, enveloping Sordil's consciousness.

"Uh-huh!"

The pervasive warmth made Sordil let out a comfortable nasal sound. (Gentlemen, want to guess what this transformation of Old Suo signifies?)

A moment later, everything disappeared, and Old Suo instinctively opened his eyelids, which had been tightly closed for so long. The next second, a soft, seven-colored light entered his optic nerve through his pupils and then reached his central nervous system. Immediately afterward, Old Suo's mouth uttered involuntarily, "How beautiful!"

The sound entered his ears without any surprise, and then his eardrum sent this information to his auditory nerve. After a series of complex calculations, Old Suo finally realized what he had just done.

"I can move now? I can speak now?"

Having not felt this real presence for so long, Old Suo slapped himself hard to help himself determine if he was dreaming.

"Smack!"

Ouch!

The intense pain didn't enrage Sordil; instead, it filled him with ecstatic joy. (Old Suo wasn't a pushover; it was just that the sudden joy of going from a vegetative state to a fully alive person was just too... too... too exciting!)

"Thump!"

Overly excited, Sordil clearly forgot his predicament; otherwise, he wouldn't have run headfirst into the colorful eggshell, which was three times harder than tungsten steel.

"Ouch~~"

After wiping away the tears from the pain, Sordil rubbed his forehead, which had swollen into a large bump, and kept his distance from the eggshell to avoid further injury.

"Bang!"

Sigh! Because someone was so focused on the front and not the back, after his forehead, the back of his head got into a fierce kiss with the eggshell. In an instant, a tingling, excruciating sensation successfully caused a traffic jam in his brain.

"Waaah!"

Having learned his lesson, Sordil dared not move again, obediently squatting on the ground, digesting the strong side effects of excessive excitement.
