--- Chapter 82 ---

Five hours later.

After riding around with the Profound Ark, Yu Long finally arrived at the Drifting River City. Although traveling with Profound Ark is slower than flying by themselves, it is more comfortable.

This Profound Ark is 'actually' designed to be comfortable to ride, which Lily moaned for being her life goal to have one.

Remember, Lily was the one who opposed the idea of having Profound Ark a while ago. She complained about it being a waste of money but immediately backpedaled when experiencing one herself.

As they landed in the courtyard, Lily leaned toward Yu Long.

"Young Master, please sell this Profound Ark to me." Lily patted her chest, trying to her womanly charm.

"For how much are you willing to buy this?" Yu Long played along with an amused expression.

"Three-! No, 200 Contribution Points." Lily reluctantly raised two of her fingers.

Yu Long's mouth twitched, "That's no different than robbing me."

In the Shadow Realm, the currency used is Contribution Points, which the shadow agents could use to exchange for benefits and resources like training rooms and medicines.

A low-leveled escort mission in the Shadow Realm is worth around 200 Contribution Points, and that amount of points can only buy ten normal-grade Heart Opening Liquids.

Yes, not even an enhanced version, just the normal Heart Opening Liquids.

And now this greedy maid wants to buy a Profound Ark worth thousands, if not ten thousand, more than that.

Of course, this is a rough estimation because one couldn't equalize Heart Opening Liquids to the currency used in the Profound Sky Continent. It's Shadow Realm's strategic resources, so they couldn't possibly let others use it.

On top of that, don't forget that Yu Long is the sole leader of Shadow Realm, so Lily is literally paying Yu Long with his own money.

Noticing Yu Long's expression, Lily put on a pained look and raised her finger slightly, "Two fifty!"

"No." Yu Long ignored her and jumped out of the Profound Ark.

"Two sixty!" Lily desperately shouted.

"Nope, back to work. I shouldn't have known better..."

"Two Sixty-five."

"Two Sixty-seven."

"T-Two sixty eight."

"TWO SIXTY-NINE!" Lily made her final attempt.

Yu Long stopped and turned around, "Go back to your station."

"Uuugh." Lily dropped to her knees and stared at the Profound Ark with a longing expression. She failed to notice the faint smile on Yu Long's face when she mentioned sixty nines.

Hong Guan and Chu Yueli jumped out of the Profound Ark, staring at the sad Lily on the ground. They shook their heads at her antics.

"Just make one yourself." Hong Guan said with a playful look. "You have the money, no?"

"Yeah, Lily. You owe us that 'expensive restaurant experience' you bragged about in solitary training." Chu Yueli added while crossing her arms.

Cold sweats dripped from Lily's face as she coughed, "Young Master ordered me to go to my station."

"Bye~!!"

"And she ran away..." Chu Yueli sighed helplessly. "She really hates using money for personal use, huh?"

Hong Guan giggled and commented, "Don't despise her that much. Lily does be like that sometimes, but you'll understand Lily if you talk with her more often."

"Before being employed by Madam Yu Xin, Lily was just a village girl and must feed herself with wild vegetables in the forest. Once she knew the value of money and its power, Lily developed this obsession."

"I was also a normal village girl before meeting the Young Master. So, I can understand her."

"You get me wrong. I didn't despise Lily." Chu Yueli shook her head helplessly.

"We literally lived together under the same roof for three years."

Hong Guan grinned, "Well, we are good then."

'I'm obsessed with something too.' Chu Yueli gazed into the distance and blushed slightly.

...

Yu Long checked for his parents, finding they were going out with Yu Mei to a festival nearby. He shrugged and went to the underground sealed chamber.

He also contacted Zilong and Yuyan to make haste back.

Sitting on the rocking chair in his research room, Yu Long sensed a spatial disturbance in the underground facility and felt two silhouettes moving quickly to his location.

"Master, we are back~!" Yuyan comes in with her usual foxy smile.

"Old Yu, I come with some gifts." Zilong walked inside with some wrapped boxes. "Oh, so this is your research room."

"I could sense several Anti-Spying, Anti-Intruders, and Environmental Adaptation Arrays around it."

"Well, yeah. These arrays are outdated, though." Yu Long responded while leaning on his chair.

"I haven't upgraded it for three years straight."

"Do you want me to upgrade it?" Zilong proposed with a smirk. He learned two or three nifty things from Yu Long in the Dragon God Trial Grounds.

Yu Long rubbed his chin and said, "I give you five minutes."

"Bet. Three minutes are more than enough." Zilong snapped his finger, and brilliant azure light enveloped the research chamber.

Millions of floating characters floated out of nowhere and created a swirl around them. Each character is unique and independent but somehow fits together.

Zilong waved his hand a few times, causing the characters to bounce out from the group and disappear into thin air. Some new characters appear and fit into the sequence, causing a brighter light.

It might be confusing for 'normal' people, but not for Yu Long and his Kaiju.

After all, the base of this array's language is cryptic codes between Yu Long and his Kaiju through [Kaiju Maker]. He named it the [Kaiju Language].

"Done," Zilong said, pushing the array formation away.

The research chamber trembled slightly as the temperature adjusted to the most comfortable state. Zilong grabbed a seat and placed down his gift, a moon cake.

"So, why are you calling us here?" He cut the cake and placed it on a plate.

Yu Long took the cake and answered, "Well, serious matter."

"Serious matter?" Zilong and Yuyan tilted their heads in confusion.

Never in their new lives had they ever heard Yu Long mention something like a serious matter. He always played a joke around.

However, when they saw Yu Long's serious expression as he munched a slice of moon cake, they couldn't help but question themselves.

Yu Long wiped his hand clean and brought out the 8th box he bought from Zi Ji. Opening the lid, Zilong and Yuyan peeked at the content and gasped.

"T-This is..." The Emerald Phoenix frowned.

"Essence sphere?" The Void-Devouring Tyrant Dragon added.

Yu Long picked the essence sphere and responded, "This is no ordinary essence sphere."

"This essence sphere was from my previous life."

"The what?!" Zilong stood up in shock. When the Dragon God learned that Yu Long was 'actually' reincarnated from a whole other universe, he was shocked and couldn't accept this news.

It was a bizarre thing to ever happen in the Dragon God's life because he thought there was only one universe. And that's Primal Chaos.

And now Yu Long brought up the shocking news that an otherworldly element entered the Primal Chaos. If the essence sphere could be here, there might be a 'massive' chance those terrifying Kaiju survived the cosmic explosion and entered Primal Chaos alongside Yu Long.

Yu Long read their minds and sighed, "Calm down."

"I know what you were thinking."

"However, we didn't know if my past life's Kaiju really entered the Primal Chaos. The chance is not as high as you guys think."

"Is it possible to locate them?" Zilong asked with a solemn expression.

Yu Long lifted his arm in defeat, "I haven't unlocked all my powers back, which means I couldn't do a wide-range search."

"However, there is a way to achieve the same result."

"Divine Sense." Yuyan finally opened her mouth. "With Divine Sense, you could easily increase the range of Kaiju Maker's scans."

"That's why you need us, to supply you with our abilities."

"How far do you think we can support you?" Zilong stared at Yu Long.

Yu Long pondered and answered, "If we are doing things right, the Blue Pole Star is possible."

Zilong and Yuyan sighed, this is better than nothing.

Even though they expected Yu Long to be able to scan the whole Primal Chaos, they knew he had yet to mature. Their [Kaiju Maker] is indeed the greatest monster in the Primal Chaos, but he needs time to grow.

"Let's do it."

"Yeah, let's do it."

"Okay, give me your hands." Yu Long cracked his neck because this would be a tedious job to do.

Zilong and Yuyan held his hands, allowing their essence spheres to rotate and support Yu Long directly.

[Kaiju Synchronization!]

Zilong and Yuyan turned into two streams of energy lights and entered Yu Long's body. Azure and Emerald light flashed one after another, causing a transformation in Yu Long's body.

Azure scales grow on Yu Long's upper body, covering him like armor.

Three pairs of emerald-like wings appeared out of thin air and wrapped him like a cape.

A crown-shaped curved horn grows on top of Yu Long's head.

As Yu Long opened his eyes, one could see his formerly golden eyes had gained an azure color on the left and an emerald color on the right. One eye gained a slit like a dragon, and the other possessed a circle like a bird's eye.

[Core Skill - Kaiju Maker's Authority (Unlocked)]

Yu Long blinked a few times before looking up, causing several specks of dust to sweep over the whole planet. He grasped the thin air and opened a curtain of darkness.

In the curtain of darkness, blinking lights appeared one after another.

Every light has its own brilliance.

BOOM!

Yu Long's chair turned into dust as he forcibly grabbed the lights from the curtain of darkness. Essence spheres started pouring out like no tomorrow, filling up the floor.

Thud!

Thud!

Yu Long's vision abruptly disappeared. He appeared somewhere else and saw countless stars in vast space.

ROARS!

The stars are beating with loud thumbs as if they are alive.

No, they are alive!

Those stars are.

Yu Long's eyebrows became heavier as the surroundings changed and became pitch black. He drifted into this darkness, having no sense of duty or life.

Calm.

Cold.

Serene.

Nothing.

There is nothing except for myself.

Wait, what's even myself?

Crack!

"You're close..." A melodious voice echoed in this realm of nothingness.

"But not close enough..."

"Come back when you are ready."

...

COUGH!

Yu Long coughed a mouthful of blood and looked very pale.

[Kaiju Synchronization] is deactivated by itself, and every enhancement and benefit that comes with it is 'instantly' canceled.

"Master/Yu Long!" Yuyan and Zilong worriedly come to his side.

Yuyan checked Yu Long's condition and sighed in relief, "Some of his internal organs got ruptured..."

"He's in a much better condition than we thought." Zilong also looks relieved.

"But what happened?"

"Everything is going fine, and our connection is 'forcibly' destroyed by an external force."

"I also don't know..." Yuyan placed Yu Long on the nearby table.

"We need to wait for him to wake up and explain."

She wiped blood from Yu Long's mouth and chest, using her Phoenix Flame to soothe his body.

"Yeah..."

Zilong decided to stay quiet and glanced down, finding several hundred essence spheres on the floor. His eyes widened as some of them were above A-grade.

'This might be more severe than we thought...' The Void-Devouring Tyrant Dragon clenched his hand tightly. 'The Realm of Gods, I hope nothing bad happened there.'

'Shen Xi, my daughter. Please be safe and wait for your father.'
