Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 10 The Power of Destiny

"Let's talk this out," the Crimson King said urgently. "We're willing to compensate you, as long as you release the auspicious beast."

Faced with a life-threatening crisis, especially the Three-Eyed Golden Pillow which was facing a life-or-death situation, even the Crimson King, a ferocious beast, had no choice but to submit to the Crimson Kite.

Hearing this, Chi Yuan's expression softened.

Killing the imperial auspicious beast is impossible, but why not extort some money from it?

"Alright, we'll need a fire-attribute soul bone that's at least 100,000 years old to exchange for the Emperor Beast."

Chi Yuan put forward conditions.

"Okay, I promise you, I'll go back and get it right away. Please don't hurt the auspicious beast."

As soon as the Crimson King finished speaking, it didn't delay any longer. With a flash, it transformed into a dark red light and disappeared instantly.

Compared to auspicious beasts, a 100,000-year-old soul bone is like a firefly compared to the bright moon! If Chi Yuan asked it to get a 100,000-year-old soul beast, it wouldn't be surprised.

After the Red King left, Ji Lin gave Chi Yuan a wink, and Chi Yuan immediately understood and walked to the side of the auspicious beast.

Then he plopped down on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's back, his body radiating red light, suppressing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion so it couldn't move.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion seemed to have recovered somewhat, coldly staring at Chi Yuan. It even spoke human language, and in a beautiful female voice, "Damn humans, how dare you hurt me! I'll make sure you suffer a terrible death and endless bad luck."

Ji Lin chuckled and approached the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Looking into its eyes, which seemed to be spitting fire, he touched its forehead and said, "Hmm, it's quite smooth."

Take a deep breath and slowly press your forehead against its vertical eye. The power of destiny, in all worlds, plays a high-ranking role.

"No! You dare!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was enraged by Ji Lin's actions, roaring repeatedly and struggling desperately. The internal injuries it had suffered earlier even caused golden-red blood to spill from the corners of its mouth.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's abilities were completely suppressed by the Red Kite. If the Three-Eyed Golden Lion still had a shred of power, it would commit suicide without hesitation.

The moment Ji Lin's forehead touched one of the three-eyed golden lion's vertical eyes, both of their bodies trembled violently.

After the initial tremor, Ji Lin suddenly felt his mind go blank.

Strange, distorted halos of light enveloped Ji Lin and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, making them appear almost transparent, their light flickering faintly. With each shift in the light, Ji Lin and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's bodies trembled slightly.

The magical power contained within the Three-Eyed Golden Lion surged into Ji Lin's mind, and Ji Lin's spiritual power continued to grow, advancing towards the Spirit Sea Realm.

Even the Taixu Sword Qi broke through to the dustless realm where the Heart Lake was frozen.

Not only did Ji Lin gain something, but the auspicious beast's original attribute, which was close to the ultimate fire, was completely transformed into the ultimate fire due to the connection with Ji Lin's attribute.

Just then, a crimson feather in Ji Lin's spiritual sea emitted a bright red light, slowly burned, and finally turned into ashes and disappeared.

That was a feather from the Feather Crossing Dust that Ji Lin obtained from opening a treasure chest in his third year.

Feather Dust can manipulate brain signals, causing those who see the feather to fall into the illusions created by the Feather Dust holder.

Ji Lin knew that connecting with auspicious beasts would involve exchanging memories, but he didn't want the beasts to know about his past life.

Therefore, he used Feather Dust to create a false memory. The auspicious beast would know all his memories in Douluo Continent, but would not know that he was a transmigrator, the treasure chest system, or the true origin of Chi Yuan.

Because of his perverse sense of humor, he also created a depiction of what his favorite girl looked like from his memory.

He wanted to see if the auspicious beast would transform again this time, and whether it would become the form he liked.

Of course, since Wang Dong was not present this time, and Ji Lin was not Huo Yuhao, Tang Wutong's half of her divine consciousness did not enter the auspicious beast's body.

In Ji Lin's view, Wang Dong was complete from the beginning; she was Tang Wutong with her memories sealed, and only lost half of her divine consciousness when Huo Yuhao was receiving the auspicious beast's attribute.

"Buzz—"

Just then, a layer of golden light suddenly burst forth from the point where Ji Lin and the Three-Eyed Golden Pillow made contact, and Ji Lin's body was thrown back by the impact. It was Chi Yuan who managed to stabilize his body with a grab in the air.

The three-eyed golden lemur swayed unsteadily, stumbling back a few steps. Its third eye had turned from gold to black, though it only lasted for a moment before returning to gold. The change was clearly witnessed by Chi Yuan and Ji Lin.

The three-eyed golden leopard appeared somewhat weak and stopped struggling, its gaze fixed blankly on Ji Lin, who had been placed on the ground by Chi Yuan.

Ji Lin seemed to sense something as well, and his gaze fell on the three-eyed golden leopard. The two, one human and one beast, met in mid-air, and they both felt a slight tremor in their minds, a strange sensation arising within them.

Ji Lin felt as if his spirit had traveled through a distant era, and his consciousness appeared in a dense forest.

Suddenly, everything around turned gold, the dazzling gold even causing the plants within its reach to turn the same color. These plants grew wildly at an astonishing rate, and on the ground, a colorful egg with a gold base appeared.

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and a crack began to appear on the surface of the golden egg. The crack spread rapidly, and with a "click," a tiny claw poked out of the eggshell, followed by a small head.

Its golden fur was a little damp, making it look like a puppy. It struggled to crawl out of its eggshell and then turned around to eat its own eggshell piece by piece.

The crisp "crackling" sounds rang out continuously, and a faint golden light began to appear on the small, puppy-like beast.

Suddenly, a brilliant golden light descended from the sky, like a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth, directly enveloping the "puppy" who had just finished eating the eggshell.

The slime on the "puppy" gradually disappeared under the golden light. In an instant, its body had grown from one foot long to one meter long, and its golden fur became transparent like crystal. The dazzling golden light rippled outwards in circles.

With a high-pitched howl, "Little Dog" suddenly split open on its forehead, revealing an eye that seemed to see through heaven and earth.

When the images appeared in Ji Lin's consciousness, everything accelerated. Countless images surged wildly in his mind, and in an instant, it felt as if he had experienced ten thousand years. A large number of simple memory fragments flashed by, almost all of them set in dense forests. For a moment, he couldn't see anything clearly.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion appeared somewhat weak, sensing that two additional memories had appeared in its mind. One was Ji Lin's experiences from the Douluo Continent since he was one year old. It must be said that, apart from awakening his ultimate martial soul and becoming Chi Yuan's disciple, he was just an ordinary genius.

The other segment was somewhat fragmented; the protagonist of that memory was a girl with light blue hair. In the brief instant of receiving the memory, it seemed to have changed considerably.
