The Golden Horned Beast's Egg Arrives

"A domain?"

The shock in Thunder God's eyes was far more pronounced than Hong's.

Hong took a few more looks and started to speak, but in the end he asked nothing. He felt that Chen Yi mastering a domain so quickly must have been a very important secret.

Prying too deeply into someone else's secrets was not a friendly thing to do.

Hong pulled Thunder God along.

"Second Brother, since Chen Yi has mastered a domain, you definitely aren't a match for Chen Yi. Don't go looking for a beating. Let's head back together."

"???" Thunder God was full of questions. He didn't understand.

How had Hong accepted so quickly that Chen Yi had already mastered a domain?

"Would you two be interested in joining the force behind Luo Feng and me? If you join, we can give you some martial artist inheritances from the universe." Chen Yi extended the invitation, mainly because Babata was urging him from inside his head.

After learning that Hong had mastered a domain, Babata was already excited. Even when Meteorite Ink Star still existed, a genius who mastered a domain at the Planetary Level wasn't someone it could recruit just any time.

As for Thunder God...

In Babata's eyes, he was a tier lower, but taking him under Meteorite Ink Star's wing was still a good choice.

They could give him some martial artist inheritances and leave him to his own devices, at little cost.

"The force behind you?" Hong and Thunder God exchanged a glance.

After Chen Yi explained that Meteorite Ink Star now consisted of only him and Luo Feng, Hong and Thunder God readily joined. Trapped on Earth for decades, they had obtained some of their own cultivation methods from the Ancient Civilization Ruins on Earth.

They weren't particularly profound.

Just like that, Babata's Meteorite Ink Star gained two more geniuses.

After receiving some of Meteorite Ink Star's martial artist inheritances, Hong and Thunder God thanked Chen Yi. A fighter aircraft carried them off into the distance.

Aboard the aircraft...

Seeing that Chen Yi had mastered a domain had instead made Hong even happier, because it fully confirmed that his system was real.

Since the system was real...

Then...

How far off could the day be when he, Hong, grew stronger?

He now understood some of the situation as well. Chen Yi and Luo Feng had obtained the inheritance of Meteorite Ink Star, a force of Spirit Readers, which was the only reason they had taken the lead.

Could opportunities like that come every day?

Moreover, the Meteorite Ink Star inheritance materials provided by the Intelligent Life Babata also stated that methods of improving one's talent for a law were usually very difficult, and the treasures involved were extremely precious.

But Hong knew...

The Divine Light Liquid available through the system could improve his talent for the Law of Light!

In that case...

Sooner or later, he, Hong, could rely on the system to catch up and overtake them!

Besides, he had already invested in Chen Yi and Luo Feng ahead of time, as the system required. So... if those two grew stronger in the future, he, Hong, could share in some of the benefits.

The Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts he had traded for this time...

And Chen Yi inviting him to join Meteorite Ink Star, allowing him to obtain its martial artist inheritances-didn't all of that prove it?

Wasn't this just what the system had said about investing in the two and helping them grow?

He could receive "generous returns"!

"Second Brother, Chen Yi should be stronger than both of us now. Planetary Seventh Rank, a first-level domain, and a Spirit Reader to boot."

"Don't treat them like ordinary young people anymore."

"We're comrades who rose to power together on Earth, and we're also among the last few members of Meteorite Ink Star. The universe... is full of lurking dangers!"

Hong spoke, giving Thunder God these reminders.

Thunder God nodded. He was looking through Meteorite Ink Star's martial artist inheritances in his mind. He had gained a great deal this time, and had even seen an opportunity to master a "domain" in those inheritances.

He had already been very close to mastering a domain himself.

Babata and Luo Feng had finished making arrangements for the Black Dragon Mountain Spaceship, and work had officially begun on repairing and refitting it.

As for the materials they had just traded for...

The Huaxia Military and the Dojo of Limits were beginning to load them for transport, and it would be some time before they arrived.

In the chat channel...

Chen Yi first spoke under his own identity. "Now, our next step is to prepare for the Golden Horned Beast."

Hearing Chen Yi's words, Babata perked up.

He asked cautiously in the chat channel, "Lord Yun, are you there? Is it true that a Golden Horned Beast Egg will land on Earth?"

Babata found it utterly incredible.

He had heard of Reverse Time and Space. In his previous life, he had heard rumors that the Ganwu Country Lord and some powerful King Rank experts had resurrected people.

But that meant reversing time and space into the past.

The Golden Horned Beast Egg, on the other hand, was something the mysterious Lord Yun had predicted would land on Earth. That wasn't Reverse Time and Space, but the even more terrifying act of predicting the future!

Chen Yi switched accounts and replied in Senior Yun's voice:

"I merely used the path of cause and effect to predict the future. The future I predicted is highly likely, but it may also turn out differently."

"In any case, just make your arrangements as you see fit."

"I will only provide you with this much help, and only because you really have been diligent in completing the tasks I gave you."

"Babata, there's no need to wonder whether it's true. Let's make preparations first and figure out how to find the Golden Horned Beast ahead of time. According to the information Senior Yun gave us, the Golden Horned Beast will land on Earth sometime this August." Luo Feng didn't want to gamble on the "possibility" of the Golden Horned Beast appearing.

He had to make sure the Golden Horned Beast could never destroy Earth.

This was his home!

Chen Yi also spoke in the chat channel under his own account. "If the Golden Horned Beast's Egg descends on Earth, our first choice is definitely to strike while it's still weak."

"Babata, you should be able to set up some detection systems, satellites for example, to detect the 'life aura' of anything falling to Earth from space, right?"

Babata knew the value of the Golden Horned Beast, a Starry Sky Behemoth with one of the twelve pinnacle bloodlines. Moreover, the information had come from Lord Yun, and he did feel it deserved attention. He said in the chat channel:

"I can. Leave detecting the Golden Horned Beast Egg to me."

The days passed one by one.

The Myriad Beasts Blood Refining Pool worked day and night. Chen Yi and Luo Feng had no intention of wasting time accumulating energy.

They spent their time cultivating, studying their domains, and training in some secret movement techniques inherited from Meteorite Ink Star...

With the chat channel...

Communicating information didn't have to be so cumbersome; it could all be done directly in their minds. Babata had already succeeded in setting up a device to detect life auras.

As soon as the Golden Horned Beast's Egg passed through the atmosphere, Babata would be able to detect it.

At that point...

They could search for the Golden Horned Beast's Egg.

In the blink of an eye, it was:

August 2057.

Chen Yi had now extracted Hong's mental-state talent, after Hong completed the four-star objective of "nurturing a top expert on Earth."

At the time, Chen Yi had two choices.

First, lock onto Hong's talent for the Law of Light.

Second, lock onto Hong's mental-state talent.

Chen Yi felt that Hong's mental-state talent was the better choice. As for his talent for the Law of Light, Hong's talent for the law probably wasn't very high. In the original story, he had reached the True God Realm before the World Beast Calamity, mainly because of his mental state and comprehension.

The current point in time was important.

In the original story, the Golden Horned Beast had descended on Earth this very month.

That egg had remained on the seabed for a long time, with no one discovering its existence.

Every day in August...

Chen Yi was somewhat worried. From his memories of his previous life, the Golden Horned Beast's Egg had fallen to Earth this month.

He didn't know whether his appearance would bring about some unique butterfly effect.

Without the Golden Horned Beast, he should still be able to develop and stand at the pinnacle of the universe, but it would inevitably have a major impact on his plans.

I can't panic. There are still a few days left.

Chen Yi waited a few days.

Then Babata sent a message in the communication channel: "Chen Yi, Luo Feng, my detection system has detected an egg carrying a life aura passing through the atmosphere!"
