--------
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue exchanged brief greetings with Xuanyu and Almight before their gazes shifted toward Ditian.
The Beast God, who had been bowing moments ago, straightened up. As he took in the sight of the two women standing before him, a deep frown creased his forehead. His golden eyes narrowed, his pupils trembling slightly as recognition dawned on him.
"It's impossible," Ditian muttered, his voice laced with disbelief. "I saw you both—"
Before he could finish his sentence, a surge of foreign information flooded his mind, forcibly interrupting his thoughts. His expression flickered between confusion and shock as he processed the knowledge implanted into him. A heavy silence stretched across the room before his features schooled into an unreadable mask.
Watching the exchange, Xuanyu chuckled softly and stepped forward, his eyes gleaming with amusement as he addressed the Beast God.
"Greetings, Mr. Ditian," Xuanyu said with a polite yet confident smile. "I am Lan Xuanyu, the owner of this Wish Granting Shop. Please, have a seat, Beast God."
Still wearing a guarded yet awed expression, Ditian lowered himself onto one of the offered seats, his golden gaze shifting between Xuanyu and the two women.
As everyone settled down, Xuanyu leaned back slightly, exuding an air of casual authority. His smile never wavered as he continued, "Since the information has already been directly imparted to your mind, you should now understand what this shop does." He let his words hang for a moment before continuing.
"This place grants wishes," Xuanyu stated plainly. "And you, Ditian, have managed to enter this shop through your own fortune and the collective luck of all spirit beasts—without the aid of a Fate Card. As the first being to enter this shop through the Fate Door, I will grant you an extra free wish in addition to the standard one. That gives you two free wishes."
A heavy silence followed his declaration. Ditian's fingers curled slightly as he considered the implications. The golden light in his eyes flickered with suppressed emotions, though his expression remained composed.
At last, Ditian exhaled deeply, his golden eyes settling on Xuanyu with newfound seriousness. "Two wishes, huh?" he asked. "What are the limitations?"
Xuanyu's smile remained as he replied, "There are no limits except for one—you cannot wish to resurrect someone who has been dead for more than ten years. Other than that, everything else is within the realm of possibility."
Ditian frowned slightly, deep in thought. After a moment, he sighed and spoke, "Young Lord, you should know about the heavenly tribulations that spirit beasts must endure at various cultivation levels. Countless talented spirit beasts have perished because of them, and in recorded history, only a handful have ever managed to cross the one-million-year threshold due to some special means or reasons."
Xuanyu nodded, acknowledging the truth of Ditian's words.
Ditian took a deep breath before stating his first wish. "Then my first wish is to remove the heavenly tribulations for spirit beasts."
Xuanyu's expression turned thoughtful as he considered the request. After a while, he frowned slightly and said, "It's not possible to completely remove heavenly tribulations for spirit beasts—at least not right now. Doing so would directly affect me, the Silver Dragon King, and the Golden Dragon King, causing irreversible changes. That would ultimately be detrimental to the spirit beast race rather than beneficial."
A flicker of disappointment flashed in Ditian's eyes. Though he hadn't expected much, hearing it confirmed still left him feeling a sense of loss. But from young lords words, it would affect him, Silver Dragon king and Golden Dragon king. Then that means both of them alive? This is..
Before he could dwell on it, Xuanyu interrupted his thoughts. "That being said, while I cannot remove heavenly tribulations entirely, I can grant spirit beasts a means to overcome them. I can increase their chances of survival and bless them with a special power."
Ditian's eyes lit up with hope as he looked toward Xuanyu. "How? And what kind of blessing, Young Lord?"
Xuanyu frowned slightly at the title but chose to ignore it. As the successor to the Dragon God, it was only natural for Ditian to address him that way. Pushing the matter aside, he continued, "I will enhance the luck of the entire spirit beast race and provide them with a powerful luck-based artifact. This artifact will increase their chances of surviving heavenly tribulations by 5%."
Ditian's expression became serious as he processed Xuanyu's words.
"As for the blessing," Xuanyu continued, his voice carrying a hint of mystery, "every spirit beast that reaches or surpasses the hundred-thousand-year threshold will receive something called a Rune. This Rune will grow alongside them, and if they can cultivate it to its peak, it will evolve into a godhood."
Ditian's breath hitched, and his golden eyes gleamed with a mixture of shock and deep gratitude. "A godhood…" he murmured, his voice tinged with disbelief. If spirit beasts could cultivate their own path to godhood, then their destiny would no longer be dictated by the heavens. This was an opportunity unlike any other, one that could change the fate of his entire race.
His fingers clenched into a fist as he tried to suppress the overwhelming emotions welling up inside him. He had spent countless years watching spirit beasts struggle against tribulations, watching countless talents fall before reaching their peak. Now, for the first time, hope had been granted to them.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Almight exchanged glances, their expressions unreadable. Their reactions weren't just from surprise—it was envy.
Just days ago, a new item had appeared in the shop: Runes. One could purchase a Rune attuned to any element or even customize one based on their talent and abilities. What made them so coveted was the fact that if cultivated to their peak, these Runes could transform into godhood tablets, paving the way for godhood.
However, the price of a single customized Rune was a staggering one hundred thousand shop points—an amount not easily earned. Even the cheapest elemental Runes required tens of thousands of points. Many had dreamed of acquiring them, yet they could only watch and wait, unable to afford such a treasure.
Now, hearing that spirit beasts would receive Runes for free simply by reaching the hundred-thousand-year threshold left them momentarily speechless.
Bibi Dong sighed internally. Even spirit beasts are getting godhood opportunities now…
Qian Renxue's lips twitched slightly, but she remained silent, deep in thought.
Almight, on the other hand, chuckled wryly, shaking his head. "It seems the Xuanyu is truly generous to the spirit beast race," he remarked, though his tone carried a hint of playful complaint.
Xuanyu, who had been observing their reactions, smirked slightly. He knew how valuable the Rune system was. It was, after all, an EX-rank item. But this… this was something he owed to the spirit beasts.
Consider it an apology to all spirit beasts that suffered due to the heavenly tribulation rules the previous Dragon God enacted, Xuanyu thought to himself.
Ditian took a deep breath before standing up and bowing respectfully toward Xuanyu. "Young Lord, I… No, we, the spirit beast race, will never forget this kindness. This gift is beyond anything we could have dreamed of."
Xuanyu waved his hand nonchalantly. "No need for gratitude, Beast God. Just make good use of it." His gaze sharpened. "The path to godhood is now open to spirit beasts. Whether they seize this opportunity or not will depend on them."
Ditian nodded firmly. He would make sure his race grasped this opportunity.
After a brief pause, Xuanyu spoke again, his voice carrying a hint of expectation.
"Now then, Beast God, what will your second wish be?"
