Chapter 34

"Little one, didn't you go back?" Mei Xue tapped the little fox's forehead. He hadn't seen the little fox for a few days and thought it had returned to the side of the demon fox princess Qingqiu Jiuyue.

On this floating mountain Tianqing, only the golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox princess Qingqiu Jiuyue would take in this little fox, so it wasn't strange if it had gone there, after all, they were both demon foxes.

"Arf!" The little fox glared at Mei Xue. Was this how a lady should welcome someone home? She had barely managed to escape the surveillance of the black fox elder.

The "Nine" dragon jade came just in time. Without it, she wouldn't have known how to slip away from under the black fox elder's watchful eyes. Her immature Mirror Flower Water Moon technique couldn't fool him.

"Welcome back, quite a lot has happened today." Mei Xue hugged the little fox and looked out the window at the Qinglong Mountains, which were now within reach.

At this moment, the port of the Qinglong Mountains was festooned with lanterns, celebrating the Qinglong's roar. Everyone's face was filled with joy.

Although most people had nothing to do with the Qinglong's legacy, just witnessing the Qinglong's roar was enough to make these mortals jubilant, a memory that would last a lifetime.

Short-lived mortals, not everyone could wait for the day of the Qinglong's roar. Most people lived ordinary lives, and many never even left the mountains they lived in, let alone seen the sea.

The Qinglong's roar was a miracle of a lifetime for them.

So, it wasn't hard to understand why so many people were burning incense and worshiping at the port today, celebrating the day of the Qinglong's roar.

The little fox closed her eyes, happily enjoying the embrace of her lover. As for the Qinglong and the dragon jade, she had forgotten all about them.

The world, the king, none of that mattered. What she pursued, what she hoped for, was just a little warmth, a little happiness here.

Why had she forgotten? If this were a mutual embrace, how wonderful it would be.

"I... actually a bit envious..." Mei Xue looked at the couples supporting each other, growing old together, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

If one of his nine hundred and ninety-nine confessions had succeeded, perhaps there would be someone by his side, growing old together, supporting each other through life.

Unfortunately, that was a past that had vanished, never to return. From the moment he wielded the Wisdom Sword, this choice was forever erased from his life.

Although he didn't regret his decision, seeing ordinary people enjoy ordinary happiness still brought a touch of nostalgia.

He couldn't remember the faces of the nine hundred and ninety-nine girls he had lost, where they were now, what kind of encounters they had had, in what order, or what gifts he had given them.

The Wisdom Sword had severed those nine hundred and ninety-nine love affairs, cutting off his past life, leaving only a faint trace of nostalgia, perhaps the last memory of those nine hundred and ninety-nine heartbreaks.

Being overly sentimental was futile; in the end, he was alone.

Then, a new world opened up to him, a world full of endless possibilities, a grand and magnificent world that made him feel the new potential within himself.

"Very good, it seems you have finally come to your senses. Then I will give you a gift." A voice, both unfamiliar and familiar, echoed in Mei Xue's mind, and his body suddenly trembled as a cold sensation rapidly spread through him.

In the next second, Mei Xue's consciousness disappeared from Tianqing, arriving in a vast, misty world.

"It's been a few days, it seems you've grown a lot." In front of the giant dragon holding a candle, the small dragon's figure appeared beside Mei Xue.

"You're awake?" After obtaining the Shanhai Jing, Mei Xue had tried to communicate with its previous owner, but no matter how hard he tried, he received no response.

"Completing a map and recording a new species, for a new owner of the Shanhai Jing, you've done well." The small dragon clapped his hands, acknowledging Mei Xue's recent work.

"New species, you mean the Jiuyou species?"

"Exactly, this species is very interesting, it's... forget it, you wouldn't understand. Just know that when you encounter this species, try to get as close as possible and collect as many materials as you can. The Shanhai Jing will give you extra rewards."

"Rewards?" Mei Xue was surprised.

Recording the Jiuyou species actually came with extra rewards? This meant that the Jiuyou species was a special species worth studying for the Shanhai Jing. When recording the common species on Mount Taisan, the Shanhai Jing showed no reaction.

"Hmph, do you think you'd still be alive without the protection of the Shanhai Jing?" The small dragon said with a hint of meaning.

"Yes, I know." Mei Xue, of course, understood that without the magical transformation power of the golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox given by the Shanhai Jing, he would have long been digested by the Jiuyou species.

"Not the transformation of the golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox, but a new reward. Are you ready?" The small dragon smiled strangely, making Mei Xue feel a chill, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Human beings must pay a price to get something, this is the principle of equivalent exchange."

"Similarly, what you, as the owner of the Shanhai Jing, give to the Shanhai Jing, the Shanhai Jing will give back to you. Isn't that generous?"

"You have accomplished the impossible, something no human could do, so you will receive a power that no human could ever obtain."

"Watch, this is the power of the Shanhai Jing, the first book of the universe."

In the cheerful voice of the small dragon, Mei Xue saw a flower, a flower blooming beside the dragon holding a candle, emitting a strange silver glow.

That flower looked so familiar.

It was the only flower in the world, a flower born in the Jiuyou Sea, containing powers that did not belong to the laws of the mountains and seas.

Mei Xue still didn't know the name of this flower, but he found it in the last moment of that life-and-death battle, a flower containing infinite life and destruction.

The name of this flower is "Senluo."

In the world inside the Shanhai Jing, this flower bloomed, extending its power to the limit. According to the laws of the Jiuyou Sea, the next moment would be the resurrection of the Jiuyou species "Senluo."

However, this was inside the Shanhai Jing, the first book of the universe, a book that once recorded the terrifying era of the ancient primordial chaos.

Here, there was an ancient dragon, a dragon guarding the Shanhai Jing, which had been asleep since the ancient primordial chaos shattered and had only recently regained a bit of consciousness.

Its name is the dragon holding a candle, the former owner of the Shanhai Jing and the current guardian.

"Accept it, this is the reward you deserve!"

The blooming Jiuyou flower "Senluo" instantly scattered into countless petals, then surrounded Mei Xue.

Subsequently, every inch of Mei Xue's skin was covered by silver petals, and the silver that had only appeared at the tips of his hair began to spread wildly.

It was the power of the Jiuyou Sea eroding and assimilating, the laws of the Jiuyou world invading Mei Xue's body.

"Hmph, do you think you can succeed in invading?" The small dragon looked at the futile silver petals with disdain, not at all worried about Mei Xue's safety.

Because this was the world of the Shanhai Jing, the last intact fragment of the ancient primordial chaos.

Perhaps in the world of the mountains and seas, Mei Xue was still a human, but once he entered the world of the Shanhai Jing, he became the only life in this world, the strongest fantasy species beloved by the heavens and earth.

When he obtained the Shanhai Jing, he also gained its characteristics.

If the species from the Jiuyou world were called "Jiuyou species," then Mei Xue, who possessed the Shanhai Jing, was the last and only fantasy species of the ancient primordial chaos, the "Primordial Chaos Species," the only individual in the universe who still possessed the power of the ancient primordial chaos.

The human body was just a disguise. Because he had the characteristics of the "Primordial Chaos Species," he could transform into the golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox and devour the life flower of the Jiuyou species.

He would grow and become stronger with the Shanhai Jing, ultimately rewriting the first book of the universe and becoming the true owner of the Shanhai Jing.

The power of the Jiuyou species was nothing compared to the terrifying "Primordial Chaos Species," especially one that had inherited all the ancient primordial chaos imprints from the Shanhai Jing.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Just as the small dragon had expected, the silver petals that had surrounded Mei Xue's body and were eroding it turned into powder and were gradually absorbed by Mei Xue.

In other words, they were "eaten" by Mei Xue, just like the outcome at that time.

This was not a coincidence but a certainty. When Mei Xue ate the life flower, which was the condensed life force of the Jiuyou species, this outcome was inevitable.

Even the Jiuyou species probably never imagined that there was a more terrifying species in the world, even though there was only one, it was the natural enemy of all Jiuyou species.

"..." Watching Mei Xue's body gradually become transparent, the small dragon's eyes filled with an unshakeable drowsiness, and he slowly closed his eyes, falling into a deep sleep.

This was not his choice but because his life force, like a flickering candle, was not enough to maintain prolonged wakefulness.

Like the eternal candle that could no longer illuminate the world, after the fragmentation of the heavenly way, he, once a symbol of the ancient primordial chaos, had entered its twilight.

If not for the remaining world within the Shanhai Jing, he might have disappeared like other ancient divine beasts in the vast universe.

His time to wake up would become less and less, so Mei Xue's fate and the path he chose would have to be walked by himself.

This was Mei Xue's life, the era of the new owner of the Shanhai Jing.
