Chapter 40: The White Dragon’s First Miracle

Xi Yu was ultimately still implicated by [No. 13 Hospital].

Although they had rushed out of the hospital, they were swept up by the aftermath of the hospital’s departure and directly carried away from the Kun Star world.

And Xi Yu instantly lost contact with Xiao Bai and the others.

Even he himself could do nothing right now, only able to do his best to control the white dragon’s body.

Finally, as the white light gradually faded, a colossal bowl-shaped object suddenly appeared in his vision.

The bowl-shaped world grew larger and larger, its appearance gradually becoming clear in Xi Yu’s eyes.

Only then did Xi Yu discover that this bowl-shaped world was actually an incredibly massive world.

When the final trace of the white light’s power vanished from his body, Xi Yu was finally able to completely control his own body.

And at this moment, the bowl-shaped world was already close at hand.

He observed the surroundings for a moment, but found not a single trace of Xiao Bai and the others.

Thus, the white dragon adjusted his direction and proactively flew toward the bowl-shaped world.

As he flew, he observed the scenes of his surroundings.

Except for the bowl-shaped world, the surroundings were completely hazy, and nothing could be seen.

But as he drew closer, he discovered something off.

Above the bowl-shaped world, there actually existed a nearly transparent world.

This world resembled an indescribable colossal umbrella, completely covering the bowl-shaped world below.

At the same time, Xi Yu also discovered some peculiar things within the bowl-shaped world.

The bowl-shaped world grew increasingly colossal, and once he drew completely near, he discovered it was actually about fifty percent larger than the Kun Star world.

Vaguely, he perceived several extremely terrifying existences from outside the bowl-shaped world.

Xi Yu had no time to ponder, diving headfirst into the bowl-shaped world.

The bowl-shaped world had no world barrier, so Xi Yu entered exceptionally easily.

He specifically avoided the areas of those powerful auras he had sensed.

But shortly after entering the bowl-shaped world, a mass of black mist that blotted out the sky suddenly charged toward him.

Having just arrived in this bowl world, he knew nothing about this place, and as he was from another world, he had no intention of clashing with the existences of this world, so he chose to evade directly.

But the black mist didn’t let him off, pursuing relentlessly.

After several times, Xi Yu couldn’t help but grow angry.

He no longer hesitated, turning around to charge toward the black mist.

His powerful dragon power transformed into a sky-blotting dragon claw, lashing out at the black mist.

Thud.

A loud rumble instantly exploded, and the dragon claw and the black mist emitted a sound like metal striking stone.

Upon clashing, Xi Yu discovered that the true strength of this black mist was actually more powerful than any SS-class ghost he had encountered in his past life.

This forced him to carefully focus his mind, and his powerful dragon power poured out with a roar at this moment.

Thud.

After colliding several times, the black mist finally shattered, revealing the entity controlling its true form.

It was a black tree with human-like features that blotted out the sky, its branches lashing through the air like terrifying giant serpents.

BOOM.

Suddenly, Xi Yu spat out a massive burst of dragon power, slamming it into the giant black tree.

Then, without looking at the effect of this strike, he turned and fled rapidly in another direction.

He had already realized that if he fought with all his might, this mysterious giant tree might not be his match.

But he had sensed that there were many terrifying existences in this world currently focusing their gazes in this direction, with three possessing auras similar to the black tree.

Thus, he naturally wouldn’t fight to the death with the giant black tree here.

Seeing the dragon power strike, the giant black tree suddenly pulled out a black stone tablet from behind it, blocking the dragon power’s attack.

Thud.

With a loud rumble, the dragon power exploded, and the giant tree’s body shivered in the air.

But watching the white dragon fly away, the giant tree waved the black stone tablet reluctantly, ultimately choosing not to pursue.

Xi Yu traveled rapidly through the clouds, avoiding all the powerful existences, and finally found a remote corner outside their range.

After circling in the air to confirm there were truly no particularly powerful existences here, he descended.

His body also grew smaller and smaller.

But it was at this moment that Xi Yu discovered a small mountain village nearby.

After a moment of hesitation, Xi Yu flew toward the small village.

He didn’t approach, instead selecting a peak to land on and quickly changing back into his human form.

Although he hadn’t fought for long just now, he had used his strongest attack power since his rebirth, and thus the draconic instincts quickly affected him.

After turning back into human form, Xi Yu’s face was somewhat pale.

Fortunately, there was no major issue, and he let out a sigh; he missed Ding Ren.

After suppressing the instincts, Xi Yu climbed up a large tree to rest.

Only now did he begin to ponder his situation.

He wasn’t worried about himself, but was worried about Xiao Bai and the others.

Regarding the Shadowless Rat, he felt that as long as it didn’t encounter a Food Sequence Lord or a divine wonder, it could likely escape safely to the Dimensional Black Abyss.

But the little green snake and the white cat—one hadn’t even reached F-class, and the other, though powerful, was still too far behind the giant black tree from earlier.

If they encountered danger, it would truly be troublesome.

Xi Yu rubbed his head.

He had originally promised to bring the white cat to the Dimensional Black Abyss, but now he had lost him before even fulfilling his promise.

Although the white cat was a ghost, it had worked diligently and without complaint for him during this period.

He certainly couldn’t just abandon the cat like this; he had to find a way to locate him.

And then there was the little green snake. He hadn’t expected [No. 23 Hospital] not to keep it, but now he had lost it. This little thing’s strength was too low, and as a Food Seed body, he was truly worried about its safety.

The white cat was fine; with his strength and teleportation ability, as long as he was careful, he could preserve his life, but the little green snake was truly hard to say.

He could only hope the little green snake was lucky enough to survive on its own.

However, since the hospital valued the little green snake so much, perhaps it had given the snake some life-saving items during its stay, so it shouldn’t meet with disaster.

But what left Xi Yu helpless currently was that he wasn’t sure if Xiao Bai and the others had fallen into this world along with him.

If they were in this world, he felt he would find them sooner or later, but if they had been carried to another world, he would truly be powerless.

Furthermore, now that he had left the Kun Star world, what if Sha Ren and the other ghosts grew unfaithful when they couldn’t wait for his return?

What if he couldn’t return before the [Divine Arena] descended upon Kun Star?

And with the remaining few A-class ghosts and a massive pile of B-class experts, if they rioted, it would surely bring disaster to Kun Star.

But currently, he had no idea how to leave this world.

If he could locate the Dimensional Black Abyss, it would be fine, but if he was truly trapped in this world, he would be completely powerless regarding Kun Star.

“This is troublesome,” Xi Yu frowned, thinking that had he known, he might as well have wiped out all the A-class and B-class experts in the world during his sweep.

“Wait, I nearly forgot.”

Xi Yu clapped his hands suddenly, his face filled with pleasant surprise.

He possessed the [Believer] ability, so he might be able to contact Cheng Liang or even perceive the little green snake.

As long as he could connect with Cheng Liang to speak with the Middle Continent, matters wouldn’t be completely irreversible.

With this thought, he quickly activated his [Believer] power.

Once he closed his eyes and began to perceive calmly, Xi Yu’s expression turned grim.

The Believer ability had failed; let alone perceiving the little green snake, he couldn’t even perceive Cheng Liang.

After some thought, his consciousness quickly entered the white dragon’s inner world, and then he perceived once more.

After a moment, Xi Yu finally let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, within his inner world, he could finally perceive Cheng Liang.

And aside from Cheng Liang, he could perceive almost all the other points connected to his fate.

Only he couldn’t distinguish if the little green snake was among them for the time being.

Since the [Believer] ability indeed worked, Xi Yu was no longer in a hurry.

He decided to contact Cheng Liang first before looking for the little green snake, while regarding Xiao Bai and the rat, he was truly powerless.

He recalled Xiao Bai and the rat being swept away by the white light together, hoping the two of them were together, as the rat might be able to bring the cat into the Dimensional Black Abyss.

But he was a bit worried: at such a distance, would his [Believer] ability be affected?

Just as Xi Yu prepared to contact Cheng Liang, he suddenly perceived an anomaly in his physical body outside, and his consciousness quickly returned.

***

“A dragon… it really is a dragon! The divine dragon has descended!”

Looking at the white dragon in the sky, Qing Qishan was dumbfounded, quickly rubbing his eyes as he thought he was seeing things.

But looking closely, he realized this wasn’t an illusion; a divine dragon had truly descended from the sky.

“It really is the divine dragon!”

Qing Qishan shouted with excitement, waving and cheering at the white dragon, but the dragon vanished behind the mountain peak before him in the blink of an eye.

“Could the divine dragon have heard our prayers and descended to save us?” Qing Qishan’s heart was filled with intense emotion.

But now that the divine dragon had vanished, he panicked.

Qing Qishan quickly prepared to search for the dragon’s direction, but after a moment of hesitation, he sprinted back toward the village instead.

“A dragon! The divine dragon has appeared! The divine dragon has descended!”

As he ran, Qing Qishan roared.

Soon, the entire village was alarmed.

Qing Li, the village head of Qingshui Village, was currently sitting in his home with a grim, worried face.

In truth, Qing Li’s family owned the most land in the village and had the most stored grain, so even if the drought continued this year, his family wouldn’t starve.

If he were as ruthless as those black-hearted landowners outside, he could have used the drought to buy up the villagers’ land cheaply, quickly becoming a major landlord.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t a ruthless person, and after his family’s property was handed to him, his land hadn’t increased, instead decreasing slightly.

He truly couldn’t watch his fellow villagers starve.

But if the drought continued, he would be powerless despite his kind heart. He couldn’t let his own family go hungry, and no one knew what would happen next year.

Thinking of this, Qing Li felt his hair had turned significantly whiter.

“Old man, stop looking so worried. Tomorrow, we’ll pray to all the deities again; I believe our sincerity will eventually move the heavens,” Mother Qing brought a bowl of water to Qing Li.

Looking at the water in the bowl, Qing Li let out a sigh.

If only this bowl of water could be as large as a mountain; then the crops wouldn’t be short of water this year.

He took a sip of the slightly murky water, then set it down reluctantly.

As he worried, sudden shouting echoed from the village.

“What are they shouting about?” Qing Li could faintly hear something about a dragon.

“It looks like someone is shouting that the divine dragon has appeared?” Mother Qing’s hearing was slightly better, but her face was filled with disbelief, even suspecting she was experiencing hallucinations.

‘A dragon?’

‘The divine dragon has descended in Qingshui Village?’

Qing Li and Mother Qing looked at each other, and the next moment, they charged out of the door together.

Could someone have lost their mind?

“A dragon! There really is a dragon! The divine dragon has appeared!”

Shouting loudly wasn’t limited to Qing Qishan alone, and he wasn’t the only one who had seen the white dragon.

Originally, if he had been the only one shouting, the village might not have believed him. But now that several people claimed to have seen the white dragon, the village couldn’t disbelieve it.

Soon, the entire village was alarmed.

“Everyone quiet down.”

Qing Li’s prestige was very high, and once he spoke, the entire village quickly fell silent, and even Qing Qishan looked toward him.

“Qishan, you speak. Tell everyone in detail exactly what you saw.” Qing Li pointed at Qing Qishan.

After all, he was the first to shout about seeing the dragon.

Qing Qishan suppressed his excitement, quickly describing the scene he had witnessed, focusing on the fact that the divine dragon had landed on the mountain peak before the village.

After listening, excited expressions appeared on the faces of all the villagers, and they couldn’t help but whisper.

“Everyone quiet down,” Qing Li was forced to speak again.

Once the crowd quieted, Qing Li suppressed his excitement and said loudly to the villagers: “Now it seems the divine dragon has indeed appeared in our Qingshui Village; this is a great blessing. I propose our Qingshui Village prepare tributes to present to the divine dragon, praying for His mercy to grant us some rain. As long as we are sincere, the divine dragon will surely be moved by us, and our Qingshui Village will be saved.”

“Everyone go back and prepare; whether the divine dragon grants us rain depends on our sincerity. At a time like this, we must not act foolishly. Qishan, you lead the way in a bit.”

“Yes!” Qing Qishan responded loudly.

And the villagers also responded with excitement.

Watching the villagers return excitedly, Qing Li’s heart was both excited and anxious. In the end, he decided to put everything out of his mind and try his best.

What if the divine dragon truly was moved by their sincerity?

“Father,” Qing Li’s family was prosperous.

He had three sons and two daughters; the daughters had married into neighboring villages, and his three sons were also married, with children. Originally, his three sons had been busy weeding the fields, but now they had all returned.

“Let’s go home and prepare the tributes.” Qing Li led his sons and daughters-in-law back home.

Preparing tributes was no easy task, especially since Qingshui Village was currently destitute, and they simply couldn’t produce any good items.

The chickens in Qing Li’s home were few, but he still gritted his teeth and slaughtered two large roosters. Then, the family processed the chickens together, boiled them, arranged them on a wooden plate, and carried them out.

Once they prepared the items, the family changed into clean clothes, leaving the small children behind to avoid offending the divine dragon.

Then, carrying the only remaining jar of wine in his home, Qing Li went out of the door, finding the villagers had prepared as well.

Their conditions were far poorer than his, unable to produce good items, but they had still done their best, with over ten households bringing out all the eggs they had hoarded.

Qing Qishan and his wife carried a large jar of rice; their family’s grain was scarce, but they hadn’t cared this time, cooking enough for seven people for seven or eight days.

“Set out.”

Qing Li had his eldest son assist Qing Qishan in carrying the coarse rice, and had him lead the way toward the mountain where the dragon had landed.

However, the closer they drew, the more fearful they felt.

The divine dragon was, after all, a legendary deity; no one had seen Them in the physical world, so who knew if the white dragon was good or bad?

What if He hadn’t come to help Qingshui Village, but had simply landed by accident, and their approach disturbed Him and triggered His wrath?

No one had an answer.

It wasn’t that they hadn’t considered this possibility, but currently, they had no choice, and could only try their best.

The crowd walked with hesitation, but Qing Qishan walked with absolute resolve.

Under his lead, the villagers’ pace also accelerated.

Before long, the villagers of Qingshui Village arrived at the peak where Qing Qishan had seen the dragon, but they didn’t dare take another step forward.

Qing Li lifted the two boiled roosters above his head, kneeling on the ground. “Qing Li, the village head of Qingshui Village, leads the villagers to pay homage to the Lord Dragon. We pray for Your mercy on our Qingshui Village’s drought; please grant us rain to save the lives of everyone in our village.”

“We pray for Your mercy, Lord Dragon; please save us!” the villagers knelt and cried out, holding up their offerings.

***

Xi Yu’s consciousness awoke from the inner world to see this situation.

He hadn’t expected this world to actually have humans, and they looked almost identical to the Middle Continent people, though he couldn’t understand their language.

From the treetop, he could see the situation down the mountain, and although he couldn’t understand what they were saying, he could guess they were making a request.

Xi Yu didn’t know when he would have a chance to return to the Middle Continent, and currently, he had to live in this world, so having a stable relationship was very important.

And since they were humans, as long as they hadn’t done anything bad, he couldn’t sit by and watch.

With this thought, he transformed into the small white dragon.

Through the white dragon’s spiritual perception, he finally understood what they wanted.

‘Praying for rain?’

Xi Yu pondered.

He didn’t know if the white dragon could summon wind and rain, but making it rain wasn’t a difficult task for him.

After some thought, a burst of dragon power soared into the sky from the white dragon, beginning to herd the water vapor in the atmosphere. Xi Yu’s dragon power sensed the situation in the sky, finding the water vapor in the cloud layer was scarce, but it was sufficient for the local villagers.

Qing Li and the others had prayed for a long time without receiving any response, which made them begin to despair.

Sure enough, the divine dragon had likely landed here by accident and wouldn’t help them.

Their request was likely nothing to the divine dragon.

Alternatively, their tributes were too meager, and the dragon didn’t care for them.

But this truly was the best they could produce.

The villagers didn’t want to leave, but if they stayed, they might anger the dragon and face a bad end.

Qing Li urged everyone to leave cautiously, and only Qing Qishan remained kneeling.

Qing Qishan looked at the peak with resolve; as long as the dragon hadn’t spoken, it meant there was still hope. The dragon hadn’t agreed, perhaps because their sincerity wasn’t enough.

Seeing Qing Qishan’s appearance, Qing Li suddenly felt a bit ashamed.

He took a breath, returning to his original spot.

Indeed, they had no other options, and the dragon was their only hope, and since this hope hadn’t been shattered yet, they should continue to hold out.

Subsequently, one villager after another stopped, silently returning to their original spots.

The crowd looked at the peak, hoping a miracle would occur.

Suddenly, someone noticed the sky above had darkened, and looking up, his eyes widened.

“Clouds! Black clouds have appeared in the sky!” he shouted.

Everyone looked up, and indeed saw a dark mass overhead.

Just as their hearts shook, splash, a torrent of rain suddenly poured from the heavens.

“It’s raining! It really is raining!”

In just a moment, Qing Li was completely wet, but he didn’t seem to feel the cold of the rain at all, instead shouting and screaming with excitement.

“It really is raining!” Qing Qishan touched the water on his face, tears streaming down his face.

After so many months, it had finally rained, and they finally had a chance to live.

“Thank you, Lord Dragon! Thank you for your great kindness!” Qing Qishan kowtowed to the mountain with all his might.

“Thank you, Lord Dragon! Thank you, Lord Dragon, for your great kindness!” the villagers kowtowed in gratitude one after another.

[Fate Connection: +287]

Xi Yu looked at the scene down the mountain, shaking his head.

Making it rain wasn’t difficult, but the water vapor in the atmosphere was far too scarce, and herding them together had indeed taken him some time.

Had he known, he might as well have transported water from afar.

With the rain falling, Xi Yu didn’t plan on becoming a drowned rat.

The white dragon used his power to construct a simple stone house on the mountain peak.

The heavy rain was still falling, and Xi Yu himself didn’t know when this rain would end, but the duration shouldn’t be very long, as the clouds he had gathered weren’t numerous. He didn’t wait, and after conveying a thought to the villagers, he transformed back into his human form and hid inside the stone house.

At this moment, he held two boiled roosters in his hands.

Since he had exerted effort, this would serve as his payment.

But looking at the chickens, Xi Yu was highly surprised, having discovered the peculiar aspect of this world.

The chickens actually didn’t contain a single mutation trait.

If he hadn’t perceived that this world was filled with Mutation Particles, along with those powerful, terrifying existences, he would have nearly believed this was a world without supernatural power, just like the pre-catastrophe Kun Star.

But this world indeed had Mutation Particles, yet these particles were somewhat peculiar, which was likely the reason the chicken meat lacked mutation traits.

This made Xi Yu think that if this place were discovered by people from other worlds, it would surely cause a frenzy.

Xi Yu tore off a chicken leg and took a bite.

It was just ordinary chicken meat, without any special quality. The meat only contained a trace of negligible mutation energy, which was why the chicken was completely unremarkable.

Furthermore, the meat had been boiled in water with only salt, so it really wasn’t very delicious.

Xi Yu didn’t throw it away, storing the rest of the chicken in his space.

***

The people of Qingshui Village were excited; the Lord Dragon had accepted their tributes, but had only taken the roosters, leaving the other items behind, and had even conveyed a thought to their minds telling them to take those items back, which filled them with awe.

The divine dragon had provided such help to their village, yet had only accepted a tiny portion of the tributes; the dragon was far more compassionate and grand than they had imagined.

Sure enough, the legends weren’t false.

They could only bow in gratitude to the mountain peak once more, and then quickly returned to the village carrying their tributes. No one knew how long this rain would last, and they had to seize the time to store as much water as possible.

Returning to the village, almost everyone was boiling with excitement.

The small children ran and played in the rain naked, and the adults didn’t stop them.

Some knelt toward the mountain peak, kowtowing and thanking the divine dragon.

As for Qing Qishan’s group, they placed the tributes back home first, and then hurried to the fields.

In truth, there was no need to worry about the fields; they had been hoping for rain, and any holes in the fields had been blocked long ago.

But currently, they still couldn’t be at ease, checking if there were any leaks near the edges of the fields.

If there were rabbit or rat holes they hadn’t discovered, causing the water to drain, they would truly cry.

Every household walked through their fields repeatedly, and soon, smiles appeared on their faces; no accidents had occurred.

But soon, they began to worry again.

The water in the fields quickly filled and spilled over, which made everyone feel pained at the waste of water.

If possible, they truly wanted to find a place to store all this water.

Ultimately, after more than an hour, the rain in the sky finally stopped.

The village was already highly satisfied; this hour of heavy rain had not only filled the fields with water, but had also partially filled several ponds, and the well water in the village had even risen to the point of overflowing.

This meant they wouldn’t have to worry about water for a month or two.

With these two months, a rainstorm would surely fall, right?

“Thank you, Lord Dragon.”

“Thank you, Lord Dragon.”

Qing Li couldn’t help but weep; Qingshui Village finally had a chance to live.

The villagers were also celebrating.

The village’s excitement didn’t stop; taking this opportunity, every household washed all the items they needed to wash.

Some even took a rain bath; they were rugged people and weren’t afraid of the cold, and everyone was highly satisfied.

Once Qing Li changed into dry clothes, he quickly gathered the villagers in his courtyard once more.

“Fellow villagers, I plan on constructing a Dragon Temple for the divine dragon. If the Lord Dragon stays in our Qingshui Village in the future, we might be able to secure the protection of the deity!”

Qing Li looked at the villagers with bright eyes.

The white dragon was the only living deity he had ever seen; if such a sacred existence could truly stay in Qingshui Village, it would be the greatest blessing for their village.

“Village Head, I agree.” Qing Qishan was the first to respond, his eyes gleaming. “We must build this temple well; I think everyone in the village should contribute.”

“I support it.”

“I support it too.”

This was a living myth, and soon the entire village responded; it was impossible for anyone to object.

Just thinking about it felt unreal; the divine dragon had truly appeared, and had truly granted them rain.

“Those who have resources can support us, and those who don’t can contribute their labor,” Qing Li decided.

The villagers agreed with a roar.

Qingshui Village didn’t have much of other things, but they had plenty of stones; constructing a temple for the divine dragon was absolutely not a problem.

But everyone was poor, and the matter of tributes still left them a bit worried.

The dragon had only accepted the roosters this time, and the village didn’t have many poultry.

They were too poor; if the dragon truly stayed here, what would they offer to the dragon in the future?

Qing Li was also anxious, but he had some savings, and he could buy some chickens and ducks from other places when the time came. At worst, they could hunt some beasts in the mountains; although he didn’t know how many tributes the dragon needed, they must not neglect him.

Xi Yu currently didn’t know that Qingshui Village was planning to construct a Dragon Temple for him; he had just successfully connected with Cheng Liang.

This let him let out a sigh of relief, resolving a major worry.

Only, he didn’t know how long it would take for Cheng Liang’s message to reach Chu Luan and the others.

But regardless, as long as the Middle Continent was prepared, he didn’t have to worry too much.

However, he had also discovered a piece of not-so-good news: he was indeed unable to return to the Middle Continent through the [Believer] ability. And due to the immense distance, he couldn’t even transmit items; he could only radiate a portion of his power to the Middle Continent through Cheng Liang.

Although… at least it could play a role.

And since he could radiate his power to the Middle Continent, it meant that as long as he developed the [Believer] ability further, he might truly be able to return through this ability.

Although he wasn’t certain if it was possible, currently this seemed to be his only way to return.

In any case, he could only try.

***

Next, Xi Yu attempted to connect with the little green snake again.

To his surprise, the little green snake was actually very easy to find; aside from the hundreds of points of Fate Connection value he had just obtained in this world, only the snake’s point of light existed in another location.

Currently, it seemed the little green snake was indeed not in this world, but fortunately, Xi Yu could confirm it was still alive.

After some thought, Xi Yu decided to bind the second [Believer] to the little green snake.

This way, with his presence, the little green snake’s survival chances would be higher, and he could also see if he could perceive the world it was in through the connection.

Perhaps he would need to travel to that world in the future.

His only worry currently was that due to the immense distance, the binding might not succeed.

But regardless, he had to try first.

He cast his consciousness into the white dragon’s inner world, then sensed the little green snake and injected his believer power directly into the corresponding point of light.

In an unknown world, the little green snake was hiding inside a withered tree.

It had appeared in this unfamiliar place upon waking; there was no white dragon beside it, nor were there Xiao Bai and the others, which filled it with immense fear.

Thus, the little green snake instinctively utilized its innate ability, and soon, its aura completely vanished from the surroundings.

However, although it was safe, the little snake was still highly terrified; a colossal beast had just passed by its side, nearly crushing it into pulp.

This world was indeed too terrifying.

The little green snake wanted to cry, and it missed the white dragon.

Although it had only learned that the human who saved it was the white dragon moments before, staying by his side brought it absolute peace of mind, even though they hadn’t spent much time together.

It had trusted the human from the start, not knowing the reason initially, but after seeing him transform into the white dragon, it finally understood why. But now the white dragon was gone, leaving it alone here.

What should it do? It was so afraid.

Just then, a thought suddenly appeared in its mind.

[Will you respond to the summons of the Lord of the Dragon Realm, the King of the White Dragons? If you accept the summons, you will become a believer of the King of the White Dragons, and henceforth be at his command.]

“I agree!” the little green snake said excitedly.

In his inner world, Xi Yu also let out a sigh of relief; the binding had actually succeeded.

And not only that, but he discovered the [Believer] ability had indeed been enhanced.

In the instant he bestowed the believer status upon the little green snake, his ability to perceive both it and Cheng Liang was greatly increased.

Unlike when he summoned Cheng Liang previously—when he could only transmit his thoughts to Cheng Liang and the boy couldn’t even reply—currently, he could actually summon a portion of the little green snake’s consciousness.

Of course, he didn’t dare summon its soul for too long, lest it cause damage to the snake’s soul.

Looking at the spectral image of the little green snake on the second dragon-claw seat currently, Xi Yu quickly implanted a thought into the snake’s mind and sent it back.

Inside the withered tree, the little green snake’s body shivered with excitement.

The image of the white dragon’s true form had been added to its mind, and it could now cultivate by following the dragon’s form. And aside from this, it seemed some other things had been added to its body.

The little green snake suddenly had confidence in surviving in this place.

And at critical moments, the Lord of the Dragon Realm would surely come to save it.

At the same time, in Baiji County of the Kun Star world, Cheng Liang’s body suddenly shook.

He had no idea what was going on, but some magical changes seemed to have suddenly occurred within his body.

Just then, his body shook once more.

“This…?” Cheng Liang’s heart shook; he was actually about to break through.

Although he had eaten a lot of meat recently and had enough strength to train, he hadn’t been able to break through, yet currently, he was actually about to break through to F-class suddenly.

The Lord of the Dragon Realm must have done something he didn’t know about; Cheng Liang was filled with fanaticism.

But he had no time to think further; a massive hunger suddenly erupted in his body, and he needed energy, so he quickly lit the fire to prepare food.

***

In his inner world, Xi Yu looked at his Fate.

Comprehensive Grade: C-class
Mutation (D-class): 153 (326)
Soul Transformation (D-class): 101 (397)

After binding the second believer, his potential had indeed received a massive increase.

He didn’t know if this was due to the little green snake’s potential or the Believer ability itself, but this increase was truly massive. Both potential values had actually increased by over a hundred, especially soul transformation, which surged by 140.

After calming his mind, he felt the reason for such a massive increase was indeed the little green snake. Previously, Cheng Liang’s talent had been average, which was why his potential increase was relatively small.

Of course, both factors might be at play, but he currently couldn’t be certain.

But after a moment, he discovered his potential had increased once more.

Comprehensive Grade: C-class
Mutation (D-class): 153 (326)
Soul Transformation (D-class): 101 (397)

‘Cheng Liang broke through to F-class?’ Xi Yu’s heart leaped, and he couldn’t help but smile; indeed, everything had caught up today.

Although the increase wasn’t much, being able to increase his potential during the C-class phase was very significant, and Xi Yu was already very satisfied.

Once everything stabilized, Xi Yu’s consciousness returned to the physical world from the inner world.

At this moment, he felt highly invigorated.

Now he had also successfully confirmed that [Believer] could indeed allow him to return to the Middle Continent world.

Thus, his priority currently was to increase his Fate Connection value.

The next time he wanted to summon his third believer, his Fate Connection value had to reach one hundred thousand.

This let Xi Yu know what his goal in this world was.

At this thought, his heart moved, and he quickly pulled out the [Faith Scriptures]. This had been obtained from Doctor San using the Wei elements he earned from mining in [No. 23 Hospital].

He hadn’t had time to look.

Straightaway, Xi Yu pulled out a large quantity of cooked food—spiny lobsters, roasted chicken, and Songzao Baba—and stuffed his mouth, while focusing his attention on the scriptures.

Below the white dragon mountain.

Originally, this was just an ordinary small mountain, but now it was treated as a sacred place by the people of Qingshui Village.

At the foot of the mountain, after ten days of hard work, the people of Qingshui Village had finally constructed a Dragon Temple.

Although the temple wasn’t large, the village had truly done its best.

The most important thing in the temple was naturally the statue, which was carved by Qing Qishan. Only he had seen the divine dragon’s form most clearly, so this task was naturally left to him.

He originally possessed no talent for carving, but when carving the divine dragon’s statue, he felt as if he were guided by a deity.

When the statue was completed, the village was stunned; it truly was lifelike. Even though it was just an ordinary statue, merely looking at it inspired a sense of endless reverence in one’s heart.

Once the Dragon Temple was constructed, Qingshui Village was overjoyed.

Under Qing Li’s lead, they also launched the first sacrificial ceremony of the temple.

Since the divine dragon hadn’t appeared to object to their actions over these past few days, the people of Qingshui Village felt highly confident about the construction of the temple, which was why they had organized this sacrifice with such joy, though this joy was only for the villagers themselves.

“Fellow villagers, please quiet down,” Qing Li personally led the ceremony.

Once everyone quieted, Qing Li said loudly, “Present the tributes.”

The tributes were very rich, which he had spent his savings to purchase from other places. There was a large pig’s head, two large crucian carps, and two large roosters.

The villagers knew the dragon liked to eat chicken, so they had prepared them specifically.

Once the tributes were presented, Qing Li led the entire village to kneel to the white dragon statue inside the temple.

“Lord Dragon, Qing Li, the village head of Qingshui Village, leads the villagers to pay homage to You. We pray for Your protection over our village, granting us favorable weather and abundant harvests.”

Qing Li had thought the dragon wouldn’t respond to their actions, and everything was merely their own wishful thinking. However, as soon as his words fell, the sky and earth shifted, and the winds surged.

BOOM.

A brilliant white light erupted from the white dragon statue.
