Even After Transmigrating into Coiling Dragon, Who Would Still Eat Soft Rice

"As expected, in the ocean of Laws, I have only scooped up a single ladle of water."

Facing the vast, remaining sea, Simon sincerely felt that his path was still very long.

But wasn't this brilliant and boundless world of Laws exactly what he had hoped for?

Thus, an ambition ignited within Simon's heart, and he resolved that he must climb to the peak of cultivation in the future to see the scenery from the summit.

The path of Laws is long and arduous, yet he would seek it with all his might.

After sorting through everything he had comprehended up to this point, Simon established a framework for his future cultivation.

With this framework in place, Simon would no longer be confused about his future direction.

Thinking of this, Simon smiled happily.

After all, the sooner one clarifies their own cultivation system, the greater the benefits will be later on, and the road to the peak will be easier to traverse.

"This meditation lasted another twenty years; after becoming a god, I feel that time passes faster and faster."

Simon stood up, looked around, and felt a wave of emotion.

He had now been in the Coiling Dragon World for over a hundred years, and the time he had spent here had far surpassed his previous life; he was becoming more and more integrated into this world.

"Sigh~"

With a soft sigh, Simon rose and continued flying toward the south.

"A brief stop is only to move forward better."

Throughout the journey, Simon fully unleashed his Divine Sense. With a coverage range comparable to a Midgod, he discovered many islands along the way.

These islands were mostly scattered, and while a small number were inhabited by amphibious magical beasts, the strongest among them were only at the Saint Realm.

So far, Simon had not discovered any god-level beings within the Endless Sea, which was related to the vastness of the ocean.

Before parting ways with Loya, Simon had learned from him that god-level powerhouses definitely existed within the Endless Sea, and they were highly likely to be Divine Beasts.

Simon had yet to truly encounter a Divine Beast in his cultivation journey, and he was quite curious about them.

Of course, curiosity was one thing, but his own safety was paramount. If the opponent were an ordinary Lowgod Divine Beast, it would be fine, as he had many ways to cope; but if the opponent were a Midgod Divine Beast or something as monstrous as a God-Eater Rat, he would have to be careful.

After all, even the weakest Divine Beast possessed an Innate Divine Ability that could not be underestimated.

One could easily suffer a loss through carelessness.

Because of this, Simon did not dare to relax his Divine Sense for even a moment, with his two divine clones taking turns monitoring a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

Another reason for maintaining such wide-range monitoring was that Simon wanted to see if he could find any treasures, such as rare natural wonders, along the way.

Regrettably, he had not encountered any until now.

"The resources of the Material Plane are still too scarce. If this were a Supreme Plane, it shouldn't be difficult to find treasures that assist ordinary people in breaking through to the Saint Realm."

Simon knew that Supreme Planes had many treasures, but the prerequisite was that he had to be strong enough. Otherwise, whether he could find them or bring them back if he did find them were two different matters.

Fortunately, Simon's parents were quite strong in their own right, and living another three hundred years would not be a problem.

"I hope Darren and Iseline can break through to the Saint Realm on their own; that way, I can be more at ease when I go to a Supreme Plane. If they die without breaking through and I haven't found any treasures to assist them, then there's nothing I can do. I'll just have to fight for it in the Planar Battlefield once I have enough strength."

Simon still had deep feelings for his parents in this life. After all, the memories of his childhood were still very clear, and even though he was a transmigrator, he had perfectly inherited these emotions.

"If I explore the entire continent and find nothing, then I will let both my Water Element and Wind Element break through to the Midgod level as soon as possible. Then, I will head to Hell. With my soul mutation and various ultimate techniques, it won't be difficult to gain a foothold in Hell. Once there, I can collect some treasures, save up enough Inkstone, and return via the teleportation array."

Simon decided inwardly.

Chapter 20: Fanny

Several months passed in a flash, and Simon had explored more than half of the southern region of the Endless Sea. However, his only harvest was a few dozen Saint Realm Magic Crystal Cores lying in his Spatial Ring.

Other than that, he hadn't found a single one of the cultivation-assisting treasures he wanted.

Having been mentally prepared, Simon was not discouraged and continued flying south.

Not long after, a large island appeared within Simon's Divine Sense. In the center of this island stood eleven large teleportation arrays, emitting multicolored light.

A moment later, Simon landed on the island and looked at the eleven teleportation arrays with curiosity.

"Oh? You brat, are you looking to leave the Material Plane? Which plane do you want to go to?"

A beautiful and cute woman with a head of golden hair suddenly appeared and asked Simon.

"Who?"

Simon was startled. His Divine Sense had not detected anyone else here, but upon second thought, he realized that anyone his Divine Sense couldn't detect must be at least a Midgod. Therefore, this golden-haired woman was most likely the Plane Guardian of the Rayast Plane.

"May I ask if you are the Guardian stationed in my plane?"

Simon did not answer the other party's question, but asked politely instead.

"Haha, am I that old? You're calling me 'Guardian'?"

The beautiful woman feigned anger and asked in return.

Simon touched his forehead upon hearing this.

"May I ask if this beautiful lady is the Guardian?"

Seeing Simon, who had been teased into embarrassment, the beautiful woman stopped teasing him.

"Yes, I am Fanny Grayson, the Plane Guardian sent by my family to watch over the Rayast Plane. You can just call me Fanny, kid."

"Nice to meet you, Fanny. My name is Simon Herbert. I'm not here to travel to another plane; I was just curious to see what the legendary Plane Teleportation Array looks like."

Simon could tell that she was likely a scion from a prominent family in one of the Supreme Planes, as she didn't seem to care much for formalities. He was surprised that such a kind-hearted guardian was actually a beautiful woman. After a brief interaction, he found her to be young, pretty, and lively—someone who wouldn't be hard to get along with.

"Oh, I see! So you're just here for the sightseeing. Do you have any idea how you've interrupted the inspiration I finally managed to find? If I fail to reach the Highgod realm because of this, I'm blaming it all on you, hmph~"

Fanny wrinkled her delicate, upturned nose and pouted playfully.

"Huh?"

Simon was stunned, realizing he had been saddled with an inexplicable burden.

"But, since you didn't know any better, I won't hold it against you. After all, I, the great Miss Fanny, am very magnanimous."

Fanny looked at the tall, handsome Simon, who radiated an elegant and tranquil aura, and couldn't help but feel a surge of affection.

A man with such a temperament was rare even in Hell, and she couldn't bear to tease him too much.

Simon took a glance at Fanny's chest, and indeed, the "reasoning" was quite substantial.

He immediately praised her.

"Miss Fanny, you have such a generous spirit and a broad mind."

"Hahaha, of course! If I didn't have such a good temper, you would've been thrown into the sea to feed the fish by now, kid."

"Then I thank you for your mercy, Miss Fanny."

Watching the cute and charming Fanny, Simon couldn't help but feel a sense of fondness for her as well.

"Easy, easy. It's just because you're easy on the eyes, kid."

Back and forth they went, and before long, they were familiar enough to address each other by name, finding a patch of grass to sit down and chat.

"Simon, did you just become a god recently? I didn't see you when I was traveling across the continent before."

In Fanny's sense of time, "recently" meant the last hundred thousand years...

"That's right, I only became a god a few decades ago. It's normal that you haven't seen me."

"Only a few decades? You're so young~"

"Are you very old, Fanny?"

"I've been guarding this plane for nearly a million years. What do you think?"

Simon hadn't expected this seemingly eighteen-year-old girl to be over a million years old.

But then again, in the Coiling Dragon World, where one could achieve eternal life upon reaching the Saint Realm, it wasn't that strange.

"Hehe, that is quite old. Where are you from, Fanny?"

"Me? I'm from the Supreme Plane—Hell. My family is in Fenglan City on the Bifu Continent. Let me tell you, Simon, my grandfather is a powerful Sovereign's Emissary! You probably don't know what a Sovereign's Emissary is, but basically, they are incredibly strong Highgods."

"A Sovereign's Emissary..."

Simon certainly knew that a Sovereign's Emissary was at least on the level of an Asura or a Prefect. Moreover, to be favored by a Sovereign, one had to be a truly formidable Asura. He hadn't expected Fanny to have such a significant background.

"Is that so? Then I'll have to cling to your thighs in the future, Fanny."

"Haha, go ahead! My million-year term as a Plane Guardian ends in just over a hundred years. When that time comes, you can follow me to Hell, and I'll look after you."

Fanny promised, patting her chest generously.

"I was also planning to head to Hell for adventure once I reach the Midgod realm. If it's convenient for you, we could go together."

Simon said happily.

Hearing this, Fanny smiled brightly, her star-like eyes sparkling with joy.

"It's fine even if you haven't reached the Midgod realm yet. You've only just become a god; it's not that easy to break through to the Midgod level. I should be close to becoming a Highgod in another hundred or two hundred years. Once I break through, I'll take you to explore Hell!"

Fanny said, full of spirit.

Based on her experience over the years in the Rayast Plane, Fanny believed it was very difficult for natives of a Material Plane to break through to the Midgod level in a short time. After all, she was considered a minor genius in her family, and even with numerous auxiliary treasures, it had taken her hundreds of years to go from a Lowgod to a Midgod.

Fanny figured that even if Simon was a genius, it would be impressive if he could reach the Midgod level within a thousand years.

Simon smiled as well.

"I feel like I can break through to the Midgod level in the Wind Element within a hundred years at most. Do you believe me, Fanny?"

"What? A hundred years? You're not joking, are you, Simon? I'm not looking down on you for being a Lowgod, but you shouldn't brag."

"Haha, how about we make a bet? We'll bet on whether I can break through within a hundred years. If I win, you have to grant me one request. If I lose, I'll grant you one request."

Seeing how cute and gullible Fanny looked, Simon suddenly thought that someone from a prominent family in Hell must have many good things on her. The auxiliary cultivation treasures he had been desperately searching for were likely in her possession.

"Hmph~ Fine, it's a bet. I want to see if this genius Simon, who became a god in just a few decades, can really break through as fast as he claims."

Looking at the adorable Fanny, Simon smiled knowingly, his motivation for cultivation feeling even stronger.

Just like that, amidst their endless conversation, the two who had only just met felt as if they had known each other for a long time.

Fanny also found it strange. This feeling was a first in her long life, and she felt inexplicably nervous yet expectant.
