As he drew closer to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the more he felt that the boy before him smelled delightful.
More accurately, as someone even fate had to yield to,
Fang Le was a vast blank in this intricate world woven from cause and effect.
But everyone knew that certain beings had a very strong desire to control things.
Even as they yielded and bowed in reverence, they still wanted to dye him in their own colors.
Thus, even knowing they were no match for him, they feared him and yet rushed forward one after another.
And as creatures beneath fate, they were precisely the tentacles through which she influenced the world.
The creatures' attitudes toward him generally fell into two categories:
They either wanted to love him more, or hate him more.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion clearly belonged to the former.
So when she drew near Fang Le, the little beast couldn't help sticking out her tongue
and lightly tapping it against Fang Le's cheek.
Then, as if remembering some misgiving, she didn't take advantage of the opening to push her luck, but suddenly pulled back.
"Wuu... Everything is arranged by fate."
After murmuring a few words, she acted decisively.
Cautiously, she leaned her fluffy head forward until it touched Fang Le's, forehead to forehead.
At that very instant, strands of golden light spilled from the Eye of Destiny on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's forehead.
At first, it was dim. Then it suddenly blazed with light.
The shadowy forest, once concealed beneath the leaves, seemed to have a sun fall into it, shining brilliantly.
Then the rich golden light seemed to come alive, turning into thin golden threads that wound toward Fang Le and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
In no time, they were completely wrapped up together, like a giant golden silkworm cocoon.
Her fluffy fur brushed against Fang Le's cheek as the wind stirred it.
It tickled, making his eyelashes twitch.
Meanwhile,
in a pure white world, Fang Le stared blankly at the ten glowing orbs before him.
What did it mean that his level was only a prerequisite for unlocking the trials, and Soul Rings were merely keys to unlocking power?
That he had to complete a challenge before he could obtain a Soul Skill?
And what was this about the Soul Skills he unlocked actually being divine authorities?
After Fang Le finished absorbing the Soul Ring's energy,
it was as if he'd met some special requirement, and his consciousness had inexplicably been pulled into the Sea of Consciousness.
After a flood of information was forcibly shoved into his mind,
this scene appeared before him.
"So what does that make me? I got a God Trial at the start, and I'm destined to inherit HIM's divine throne? That's awesome!!"
As he grumbled, Fang Le excitedly reached for the first glowing orb.
Another stream of information appeared, forming a screen of light before Fang Le.
First Soul Skill: Destroyer Ability: Destroy anything Description: The game begins with destruction. You can destroy anything; nothing can stop you from breaking it. But sometimes, without the right tools to help, you'll get nothing out of it. Unlocking Conditions: Go destroy! Want to get rich? Start by punching trees. Use your powerful fists to knock down a tree more than one meter in diameter. Food is essential for survival, and now that you're on Douluo Continent, rabbit is a delicacy you simply have to try. Kill a hundred-year Soft Bone Rabbit with your bare hands. Once you complete the tasks, you'll gain the right to destroy anything!
"This...!!"
Looking at the first Soul Skill he was about to obtain, Fang Le was so excited he nearly bounced off the ground.
Because this Soul Skill was just too awesome.
In the game, as the Super Destroyer, there was nothing Steve couldn't break.
The only difference was how many punches it took.
And destroying anything included living creatures.
In theory, as long as he unlocked this authority,
he could beat Tang San to death with a flurry of punches.
This was enough to make him lose his mind with excitement!
But the unlocking tasks... The first one was fine, but the second...?
Was HIM a jokester too?
Forget it! Who cared? He was going to soar!
"What an incredible ability!"
Just as Fang Le was congratulating himself, a startled female voice rang in his ear.
"Of course! Do you even know whose authority this is?"
"Huh!? Wait, who are you? No, what's going on?"
Before Fang Le could react, golden energy filled his Sea of Consciousness.
At the same time, as the energy surged in, the second orb, which had been dim until then, was like a sponge that had found water.
It suddenly swallowed the incoming energy like a whale, seizing it and refining it in an instant.
(Original) Second Soul Skill: Crafter Ability: You can make a few little things. Description: Destruction can earn you a little, but processing things further can earn you more. It also helps you destroy things better. Unlocking Conditions: Craft five basic tools (sword, axe, pickaxe, shovel, hoe). Once you've made the tools, you naturally need to use them. A Zombie is about to appear. Use your tools to defeat it.
Watching the sudden change, Fang Le was at a loss.
"What happened? And who are you? This is my Sea of Consciousness, my private territory!!"
"Hehe! The Auspicious Beast doesn't know~~"
The Auspicious Beast struck a cute pose, then unleashed a cute attack.
She suddenly pounced on Fang Le, knocked him to the ground, and pinned him down to claim the upper hand. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion licked...
...Who knew how long later...
After a bout of roughhousing, Fang Le, his face covered in saliva, finally managed to escape from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who had been frolicking all over him.
"So who are you, then? A guardian spirit for a divine throne? I've never seen one like you in MC.
A Pokémon? Sorry, I like white foxes and cats. An Ender Dragon wouldn't be out of the question, either. So could you please change your appearance?"
Fang Le looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion before him, who acted like a dog, with disdain. He wiped his face and asked.
Hearing his question, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion stopped looking around and sat upright before the boy, her expression solemn.
"The Auspicious Beast doesn't know anything about divine thrones or whom she loves. And she isn't a Pokémon, either.
"I'm the Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. As for why I appeared in your Sea of Consciousness... well... it was all fate's guidance.
"And how can some fox or cat compare to me? I'm ten thousand times prettier than they are! Hmph!"
She didn't last three seconds before breaking character. As soon as she'd finished speaking, the little beast buried her head in Fang Le's arms again and rubbed against him wildly.
Her every move made it clear just how much the little beast liked the boy.
"Fate's guidance? Why does that sound so familiar? Gu?
"Wait?! Damn! The Star Dou Forest?! The Three-Eyed Golden Lion?! The Emperor Auspicious Beast?!
"Why are you here?! You're here?! Then who else is outside?!"
After ruffling the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head like a dog, Fang Le began sorting through the information he'd just received.
But before he could finish making his reference, the titles the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had mentioned left him stunned.
"Fate guided me and connected our fates, so I came inside. Outside? Uncle Scarlet King and Uncle Di Tian are there too."
After being petted, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion wagged her tail and happily rolled over.
But what she said made Fang Le's hand, which had still been stroking her head, freeze in place.
"Connected our fates? Scarlet King and Di Tian are right outside? Guys, do you think I can still be saved?"
"I'm finished! I might as well stay in the Sea of Consciousness and die!"
Fang Le was happy, Fang Le was shocked, Fang Le was stunned, Fang Le gave up.
Outside, Di Tian and the Scarlet King had already returned and were waiting, unable to put their minds at ease.
"Why aren't they done yet?"
