"We're in!"
Yuan, who had been resting, suddenly cried out in delight.
The Yin Yang Fish Jade Pendant, which had forbidden him from entering, had once again granted him permission.
But the moment his consciousness entered the Yin Yang Fish Jade Pendant, his whole world fell apart. Not only was the Great Innate Treasure he'd successfully upgraded gone, but so were the drops of source essence he'd earned from killing Fierce Beasts over all these days.
"How did it all disappear!?"
Yuan's faith crumbled in an instant. He no longer knew what the point of all his effort was.
He'd thought the Yin Yang Fish Jade Pendant had brought him back to life to open the door to a legendary tale, but he hadn't expected it to keep refusing him entry, or to give him fewer and fewer drops of source essence. Now even the Great Innate Treasure—the grand prize dangled before him—was gone.
"Your mental fortitude is too weak!"
The Kunpeng Avatar shook his head with a sigh, thinking Yuan was utterly pathetic.
Strong Protagonists never complained about their circumstances. When difficulties arose, they charged straight in without a second thought. They didn't whine and cry like a woman the way Yuan did.
With that said...
The Kunpeng Avatar turned and glanced back. There was a gigantic swimming pool.
It was filled with liquid made from the drops of source essence Yuan had painstakingly earned from fighting monsters these past few days.
But he had no time to wonder who had ruined the circumstances. He simply channeled it into the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron to upgrade the Twelve Star Beads.
