"This is absolutely not the Star Dou Forest! No, no, definitely not!"

When Chen Ming told the Three-Eyed Golden Lion that this was the Star Dou Forest, she immediately shook her head in denial.

How could this possibly be the Star Dou Forest? She didn't recognize this place at all; she didn't recognize these square trees, she didn't recognize these square grasses, and she didn't recognize these square soul beasts.

She had lived in the Star Dou Forest for so long, after all; how could she possibly get lost and mistake the place?

"This is indeed the Star Dou Forest, but it is not the Star Dou Forest of the Douluo Continent. It is the Star Dou Forest from another dimension."

Hearing this, Chen Ming offered a correction. Upon hearing his words, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion wore a look of utter confusion, clearly failing to understand.

"Forget it... In short, you and I are the only living beings in this world. All other creatures are mindless puppets, understand?"

"Are there no other living soul beasts here? Then how did I get in?"

"How would I know? Shouldn't you be asking yourself that? How did you get in?"

"I don't know. I thought you knew."

"I'm not the one involved... beast, how would I know how you got in?"

Chen Ming and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion stared at each other, wide-eyed. Chen Ming didn't know how she had arrived, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion didn't know why he didn't know how she had arrived.

"Forget it, come home with me. I'll take care of you. Are you coming?"

Chen Ming reached out toward the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, asking if she wanted to leave with him. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at the only living human before her and immediately nodded.

Put it this way: the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was an Auspicious Beast favored by fate, capable of turning danger into safety whenever she encountered a crisis.

Now that she was in this situation, the fact that a human had appeared right in front of her meant that he must be able to save her.

"Then get into my Poké Ball, and I'll take you out of here."

Chen Ming pulled out a red Poké Ball and tossed it at her. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked curiously at the small ball that had suddenly opened, and then she was captured inside.

Immediately after, he teleported back to the Overworld, his figure appearing inside the imperial palace. He threw the Poké Ball, and the figure of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion appeared once more.

"What is this thing? Why is my cultivation only at the thousand-year level?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly discovered that her cultivation had been reduced to a mere thousand years, but Chen Ming offered a word of reassurance.

"Don't worry. Your cultivation is now linked to mine; when I improve, you improve. I can even help you with things like bloodline evolution."

"Fine... and where is this?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had countless questions she wanted to ask him, but she could only take them one by one. Chen Ming sat on the bed and began to explain the situation to the Auspicious Beast.

"You mean... this is the world twenty thousand years later?! And this is some kind of game world? I traveled twenty thousand years into the future?"

Upon hearing this information, her brain's CPU practically fried. The news was clearly too shocking, and the little Auspicious Beast needed time to process it.

"Pretty much."

Unable to fully accept this information, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion pounced on him, pressing the vertical eye on her forehead against Chen Ming's brow.

Chen Ming was caught off guard. A moment later, he gained some of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's memories, while she received a massive influx of his, wailing in pain as she clutched her head.

"Ahhh! What is this! <Wife Dragon Butterfly Douluo, Overbearing Father-in-law's Forced Love> What kind of hellish thing is this!"

Hearing what she was muttering, Chen Ming's expression changed, and he immediately felt so embarrassed he could curl his toes. Seeing such niche, bizarre novels—didn't you want to see them? In any case, he couldn't help himself.

"And what is this The Untold Secrets Between Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, <The Threesome of White Tiger Douluo, Food God Douluo, and Phoenix Douluo>, <The Mutual Pursuit of the Sea God and the Asura God>! Human, what kind of twisted things are in your head!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion rolled on the floor, clearly having had her mind polluted by these things.

"Stop flipping through the trashy novels in my head! Find the useful memories, you jerk!"

Chen Ming grabbed the big cat by the scruff of her neck and shook her, telling her to stop digging through such useless novels; there were more important matters at hand.

Soon, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion calmed down. After sorting through the memories, she finally understood everything.

"Twenty thousand years... how did I suddenly end up here... Di Tian uncle will die... I will sacrifice myself to that Child of Destiny, Huo Yuhao..."

This golden-furred big cat fell into deep thought. Clearly, receiving so many memories at once required some digestion.

Chen Ming didn't disturb her; he lay down on the bed, pulled up the blanket, and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Chen Ming's alarm went off. He reached out to turn it off, feeling something heavy on his body.

The thing pressing down on him was soft, feeling incredibly delicate and smooth to the touch, with an excellent texture.

Chen Ming, still groggy, paused for a moment. He lifted the blanket to look and saw a little girl with silver hair and purple eyes curled up in his arms.

He was completely stunned. What was going on? Where did this little girl come from?

The little girl was also woken up by the alarm. She looked up, and her eyes met Chen Ming's. The air went still for a moment.

Chen Ming's brain began to run at high speed. He checked the game chat channel; a message had popped up at exactly one o'clock last night.

[Three-Eyed Golden Lion has joined the game]

She had joined as a player, not a soul beast. This meant that she had transformed into human form around one o'clock last night.

"Auspicious Beast, why did you transform into a human?"

A question mark appeared over Chen Ming's head; he truly couldn't understand why she would do that.

"Since you're in the human world, I obviously have to transform, or how else would I go out? Besides, in this My World, my soul beast form doesn't have an inventory, which is very inconvenient."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion explained the reason for her transformation with a straight face, and upon hearing this, Chen Ming opened the player overview.

[Host]: Chen Ming

[Member]: Three-Eyed Golden Lion

So it was that trash NetEase, that explains everything; the absolute worst My World is undoubtedly the one by NetEase.

"Alright, so have you awakened your martial soul yet?"

He didn't dwell on that, immediately asking if she had awakened her martial soul, and upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Dragon King checked her panel before selecting the option to awaken it.

As a golden light shone, she received a feedback boost because she had become Chen Ming's Pokémon.

Therefore, the little Auspicious Beast also awakened the Golden Dragon King martial soul, and she even possessed the Eye of Destiny talent in addition to Chen Ming's, though her Ultimate Fire and Light attributes were gone.

"Another Golden Dragon King... forget it, the code is just like that. Oh well, let me show you around here today."

After completing her martial soul awakening, the little Auspicious Beast was able to generate her own spirit rings, resulting in three purple spirit rings.

Under Chen Ming's guidance, the little Auspicious Beast followed his lead in punching trees, mining, smelting ore, and hacking at the wandering trader, while also taking the time to give herself a name.

[Di Qiu'er is attempting to swim in lava]

"What are you doing?"

"I forgot that I had transformed into a human..."

"Can't you fly?"

"I forgot that I could fly..."
