Golden Legend! The Power of Fortune?

A golden legend?

The moment Lin Chen heard the news, he could no longer stay calm.

What the hell was this?

With such a high drop rate, it had gone gold right away.

A first-generation going gold?

And when he counted the time, it had only been a little over a month. Around a hundred eggs, perhaps. It had gone gold after just a hundred—what kind of absurd drop rate was that?

"Wait for me. I'll be right there."

Lin Chen could no longer spare any attention for those dragon beasts.

What could possibly be more alluring than a shiny?

He had no idea what this egg meant or what it would hatch into, but he knew that anything shiny was bound to be special. It could not be compared to those little nobodies. It was only natural that he shifted his focus to this golden egg.

"What is it? What is it? What golden egg?"

Curiosity appeared on Di Tian's face, and he immediately followed after him.

As Lin Chen ran, he explained, "You really are lucky. A golden dragon actually flew out of the pigsty. A golden egg came out of a pitch-black dragon egg. You get what I mean, right?"

"The dragon egg mutated and produced a golden dragon egg?"

Di Tian's eyes immediately lit up. He became even more anxious than Lin Chen and even used the power of space.

A pitch-black vortex instantly appeared before him. His plump body drilled into it, and he vanished right before Lin Chen's eyes.

Lin Chen, meanwhile, spent a full three minutes running from the breeding base to the hatching center, only to find Di Tian already holding the golden egg and examining it closely. He silently cursed the old bastard for having no sense of fair play, actually cheating with spatial power.

But this also proved from another angle just how much Di Tian cared about this egg.

Lin Chen could not help teasing him. "Didn't you look down on those dragon beasts that mated with pigs? Forget the Black-Winged Dragon Boar—even the Black-Scaled Boar Dragon was beneath your notice. Why are you in such a hurry over this egg?"

"How can it be the same as them?" Di Tian's face was full of excitement.

"The life nurtured within this golden dragon egg is clearly several times stronger than they are.

This egg has reverted to its ancestral bloodline. I do not even know what it will hatch into.

And most importantly, I sensed a trace of a familiar aura from it."

"What is it?"

After hearing Lin Chen's question, Di Tian pondered for a while. Only after hesitating did he slowly speak. "I'm not entirely sure, and this aura is extremely faint."

"What exactly is it? We not only signed a contract, we've been through thick and thin together. What can't you tell me? Besides, do you think you can hide it from me? Once it hatches, I'll know everything. They'll give me feedback, after all. I'll only understand your descendants better than you do."

"I wasn't trying to hide it from you. I just feel that this is a serious matter, and I'm still not certain."

"So what is it? Stop speaking in riddles."

"Fortune. I sensed a familiar power of fortune from it. It is only the faintest trace, but I am certain it is there.

This is the fortune of our soul beast race, which disappeared ten thousand years ago. I never expected it to appear again."

"The power of fortune? Could that be the energy it mutated with? A golden egg—gold represents auspiciousness. It might really be possible.

Then we need to keep a close eye on this egg. I want to see exactly what it hatches into."

"I'm looking forward to it too."

But then a smile suddenly appeared on Lin Chen's face. "Di Tian, what do you think will hatch from this? A golden Black-Scaled Boar Dragon, or a Black-Winged Dragon Boar?"

"Ah, shouldn't we call them Golden-Scaled Boar Dragon and Golden-Winged Dragon Boar instead? Because unless something unexpected happens, the soul beast hatched from a golden egg should be golden."

"What nonsense are you talking about? This golden egg will definitely evolve toward a better level. How could it be a dragon boar? It will definitely be a dragon beast. I dare say its bloodline has reverted to its ancestors.

Even at the very least, it should be a Golden-Scaled Boar Dragon. How could it be that pig? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Don't be so absolute. I'll bet it's that pig. Once it hatches, we'll see whether you still play favorites."

Lin Chen was not saying this without reason. Unlike the four-legged dragons of this world, the divine dragons from the myths of his world definitely represented auspiciousness. But the four-legged lizard dragons of this world had absolutely nothing to do with auspiciousness.

So even if he trusted a pig, he would not believe that the dragons of this world carried the power of auspiciousness. Besides, a golden pig itself was a symbol of good fortune, so he was more inclined to believe it would be a Golden-Winged Dragon Boar.

Lin Chen had never considered the possibility that it would mutate into a powerful member of the Dragon Clan. Di Tian had only bred with an ordinary pig—how could it ascend to the heavens in a single step?

But Di Tian clearly did not believe him. "Anyway, it can't be a pig. I won't believe it even if you beat me to death!"

"Then let's make a bet."

"Fine. Name the stakes."

"Alright. We'll bet on whether, after this egg hatches, its traits lean more toward a dragon or more toward a pig.

If you win, I'll unconditionally grant you one request in the future. But if I win, you'll likewise owe me one request. No matter how excessive it is or how hard it is for you to accept, you must agree. You cannot refuse."

"Fine. A gentleman's word—"

"—cannot be taken back even by four horses!"

Lin Chen reached out and slapped Di Tian's chubby Milk Dragon hand. Thus, the pact between men was made, with no possibility of regret.

After confirming the golden dragon egg, Lin Chen continued discussing their previous topic with Di Tian.

"The offspring produced through Transcendent Reproduction have blood that is exceptionally effective at enhancing the spiritual power of human soul masters. This is our greatest trump card. With it, I will cultivate a top-tier legion capable of overturning the entire Federation."

"Isn't that a little exaggerated? I understand better than you just how powerful you humans are.

Even a mere seven-ring Soul Sage among humans can reach Title Douluo-level combat power through battle armor. A Title Douluo can become an Ultimate Douluo through battle armor, while an Ultimate Douluo can reach the realm of demigods and quasi-gods."

"I don't like exaggeration. For the time being, we needn't concern ourselves with that level of top-tier power. I'll catch up to them myself. And there's your Lord as well. Are you not confident in her? Even at worst, your strength should rank among the top five, right?

We don't need to worry about high-end combat power. What we need to pursue is overall strength. This era is different from the past. Spiritual power reigns supreme now. As long as one's spiritual level is strong enough, even if one has a worthless martial soul, one can still rise against the odds and become an unparalleled powerhouse."

"In this era, although there are systematic methods for cultivating spiritual power that allow soul masters to steadily improve it, they rely too heavily on talent. There are basically no treasures that can improve spiritual power after birth.

A person's upper limit for spiritual power is essentially fixed by their innate talent. But we have obtained a treasure that can improve a soul master's spiritual power after birth—and it can even be mass-produced.

And I boldly speculate that once we produce stronger bloodlines in the future, their blood will provide even greater improvements to spiritual power."

"As long as a soul master's spiritual power can keep improving, they can continuously upgrade their soul spirits and absorb more soul spirits. Once all their soul spirits have been raised to the ten-thousand-year level, even a useless person can become a top-tier powerhouse."
