Chapter 291: 2 Months Later
In a dim space shrouded in crimson blood mist, a blood-red figure swiftly returns, an indescribably massive body filling the entire area, and in the depths of the void, eerie screams seem to echo, as if welcoming the arrival.
It was indeed the Spirit Master, just returned from the Kun Venerate.
It placed the dragon corpse of the Heavenly Illusion Dragon on a high platform in front of it, feeling the rules that persisted thanks to the Kun Venerate preserving them intact, satisfaction evident in its exposed crimson eyes.
"Hehehe~" In the dark space, it laughed strangely, "Originally, I was wondering how to choose the resources needed for this final step."
It extended a giant claw, covering the dragon corpse, swiftly extracting the remaining Rule Power within, finally condensing it into a crystal.
"This is mine." Spirit Master chuckled, eyes filled with desire.
The Heavenly Illusion Dragon, in life, was an immortal being of the sixth realm, fallen in the hands of the Kun Venerate centuries ago.
The rules it mastered were the same as the Spirit Master's, both being Illusion and Reality Rules.
Even among Illusion and Reality Rules, there are differences; perceiving the rules of other immortals of the same realm is an excellent opportunity for Spirit Master to improve.
If things go smoothly, merging two Illusion and Reality Rules could elevate its own rule realm by one level; it's not entirely impossible.
"As for the remainder..." Spirit Master absorbed the crystal into its body, eyes turning to the dragon corpse remaining on the high platform.
Deprived of the Rule Power's support, the dragon corpse's size had started to shrink steadily, finally reducing to a mere two to three hundred meters.
"Without Rule Power, but this body was left by a sixth realm immortal of Illusion and Reality Rules." Spirit Master chuckled, "With this, the success of the inheritance is even more assured."
Had the Kun Venerate been present, hearing this sentence would definitely surprise him immensely.
Because contrary to his expectation, Spirit Master had absolutely no intention to abandon the inheritance.
A hint of cunning flickered in the Spirit Master's eyes.
What it valued was Gui, but not entirely Gui.
From the first time it followed other immortals and saw Gui's figure, it discovered that within Gui's body, another consciousness was hidden!
Due to mastering Illusion and Reality Rules, that other supposedly illusory consciousness was crystal clear to its eyes!
This situation, somewhat similar to dual beast souls yet not entirely the same, sparked Spirit Master's intense interest.
If that independently existing consciousness could have a physical form, it would be the ideal choice for inheriting Illusion and Reality Rules!
Spirit Master was convinced that other Spirit-based beings like Di Zun and Kun Venerate might also detect some anomalies in Gui but would certainly not perceive as distinctly as itself!
Hence, without hesitation, it handed the legacy key to Kun Venerate, letting him pass it to Gui.
And now, through a twist of fate, Gui gained a Spatial Evolution technique, earning Kun Venerate's favor, which instead further solidified Spirit Master's plan.
Its legacy was to be bestowed upon Gui's hidden consciousness within!
With its own Illusion and Reality Rules, Spirit Master intended to construct a body for that consciousness, a task not difficult.
And now, with the Heavenly Illusion Dragon's corpse, the process was even simpler.
According to Spirit Master's estimation, due to originating from the same source, even if Gui and the consciousness within received different legacies, they wouldn't separate into two independent entities; there would remain some connection between them.
What would happen then, it couldn't determine, as such a situation has never occurred before.
Still, Spirit Master awaited with great anticipation.
Tremendous power quickly flowed into the Heavenly Illusion Dragon's corpse, that being Spirit Master's own Illusion and Reality Rules; although both were Illusion and Reality Rules, there was a significant difference from the original rules of the Heavenly Illusion Dragon.
These differences also prompted the Heavenly Illusion Dragon's corpse to start transforming slowly.
The originally brilliant dragon scales gradually took on a dark red hue, losing some beauty but gaining a fierce aura.
The once slender dragon body became increasingly menacing during this process.
Accompanying the transformation of the dragon corpse, Spirit Master's eerie "hehehe" laughter intermittently echoed within the dark space.
Truly bizarre.
…
Lin Su was entirely unaware of the negotiations between Kun Venerate and Spirit Master and Spirit Master's little schemes.
After Kun Venerate's aura dissipated, he laughed and high-fived Gui.
With Kun Venerate's involvement, Gui's evolution was practically assured.
According to Gui's own plans, before evolving towards the spatial system, it wanted to prepare for two months first.
Firstly, it wanted its normal energy level to reach its maximum, and its evolutionary state to peak.
Secondly, it planned to use these two months to familiarize itself with the spatial power in advance.
Finally, and most importantly, as it embarked on a brand new evolution path, Gui needed to discuss with Lin Su which evolutionary resources to use.
Proper resource utilization was also crucial for successful evolution, its importance no less than evolution techniques.
Gui's evolution plan now on schedule also caused Qiuqiu to feel a sense of urgency.
Once Gui possesses spatial abilities, its combat power will inevitably soar beyond the current level.
Now, it already exerts considerable pressure on Qiuqiu, and after evolution, that pressure will certainly intensify.
Though the next team competition isn't coming soon, leaving chances for Qiuqiu, the overwhelming feeling isn't pleasant.
Weakening Gui isn't an option, so Qiuqiu's only choice is to get stronger!
